Gu Mengmeng let Wabei hold her like a willful child hugging a toy that he had lost and then found. This type of embrace had none of the amorous vibes between a man and a woman. It was a panic arising from the loss of a friend, or even family member.
"Little shit, I am grateful that you were afraid of losing me. I am also grateful that you are able to come back… but, my waist is nearly breaking. Can you hug me more gently, for heaven's sake?!"
Not only did Wabei not loosen his grip, he hugged her even more tightly as he laughed out loud. "Gently my ass! I will become the Snake King once I strangle you to death!"
"Get lost!" Gu Mengmeng gave Wabei such a hard smack that he couldn't get up again after landing on the ground.
Wabei laid sprawled on the floor, twitching. He couldn't even lift his face.
Gu Mengmeng felt rather sheepish. "Eh, are you having a fit?"
Wabei shook his head. He didn't utter a word.
