"It was great to be able to help." Sandy's sweet voice was like a breeze blowing past like flower petals, there was a fragrance in addition to the gentleness.
"You did not just help, you have saved my life." Gu Mengmeng hugged the yellow sauce with both of her hands and sniffed exaggeratedly. She said, "With this honey, roasted meat in the future will not be so plain. Sigh, even though I also wanted oil, cumin, chili sauce... Honey is good enough for now. Other things can search slowly next time, one day we will definitely find them~"
"Honey?" Sandy tilted her head. She really liked Gu Mengmeng, but sometimes she always could not understand what she was saying.
Gu Mengmeng raised the leaf in her hand and explained like Ms Gu, "This yellow sauce have another name, honey. That's what it is called in my place."
"Oh." Sandy nodded although she did not fully understand it. She knew that Gu Mengmeng was a female brought in by Elvis from outside the tribe, hence she understood the name 'honey' as a dialect from Gu Mengmeng's original tribe and did not take it to heart.
"Can you tell me where did you find this? I can also go and get some next time..."
"No!"
"No!"
Before Gu Mengmeng could finish her sentence, a simultaneous objection was raised by both Elvis and Sandy, with an unusual uniform and firm attitude that would not accept objections at all.
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback by the sudden teamwork between the two of them. One roar came from her left while another came from her right, totally catching her off guard and almost making her drop the honey onto the ground.
"Why not?" Gu Mengmeng was confused. Sandy was not a selfish person and she would not reject her because of unwillingness to share the honey to Gu Mengmeng, if not, she would not have taken out the honey out of her own will today. Elvis was even more strange, as a carnivorous wolf, why would he grapple with honey?
Sandy held Gu Mengmeng's shoulders with both of her hands and said intensely, "If you want to eat, please ask your partners to help you gather. I can even ask Bode to lead the way and tell them where's the cave of the yellow needle insects. But please be sure not to go on your own, you understand?!"
"Why?" Gu Mengmeng was still confused.
"Alas, just listen to me and don't ever go on your own, will you?" Sandy was so anxious. Gu Mengmeng was the only female that had treated her with kindness, she did not want her to risk her life for some food. Thinking of her possibly dying near the cave of the yellow needle insects had made her tears trickle down.
"Hey... Sandy, don't cry, don't cry..." While also being a soft-hearted girl herself, Gu Mengmeng could never see people cry, especially her friend. It was her soft-spot.
Gu Mengmeng stuffed the honey into Elvis's hands and carefully wiped Sandy's tearful face with her smooth white hands. She said in a manner as gentle as a kindergarten teacher coaxing a child to stop holding on to his mother's thigh, "Good Sandy, please stop crying. Looking at you with the tearful face. It's just some honey, I won't go if you don't want me to. I will just not eat it if the worst comes to the worst. Stop crying, uh?"
"Re... really?" Sandy asked with shaking shoulders, sobbing.
"I won't go and gather honey if you stop crying. Even if it means that I have to eat plain roasted meat everyday, I won't do something that will make my good Sandy cry." Gu Mengmeng raised three of her fingers to point at the sky in all seriousness and promised, "Good Sandy, you gotta believe me, alright? Uh?"
