Gu Mengmeng held onto Elvis’s hands, she never felt so contented and comfortable at heart, although her body was feeling unwell. The sense of security Elvis had given her was something she had never experienced before, but she was already getting addicted to the feeling.

“All of these, I had prepared according to two servings, so you don’t have to worry I will be starving if you eat too.” Gu Mengmeng brought Elvis’s hand to her face. Although his hand had been warmed by the fire, it was still cooling compared to her having a fever. Gu Mengmeng felt her face cooling down with Elvis’s hand against her. Feeling more relaxed, Gu Mengmeng continued, “Besides, if you don’t eat anything, where do you get the energy to look after me when I get sick again, right?”

Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng forcing herself to talk to him and felt heartache. He could tell how uncomfortable her throat must be, but she was still worrying about him not eating. It made him feel warm yet remorseful. If he had managed to stock up more food, Xiao Meng would not have to worry about such a small matter.

This was the incident that resulted in Elvis frantically hunting for prey a month in advance every winter thereafter, being unsatisfied until the whole cave was filled with food. Of course, that is a story for another time, let’s not talk about it for the time being.

Elvis bought his other hand to Gu Mengmeng’s face and cupped her small head, as though he was holding the most precious jewelry in the entire world. He asked carefully, “Tell me, what can I do to make you feel better?”

Gu Mengmeng signaled to the stone pot which was boiling water with her chin and said, “Drinking more warm water is the universal medicine. In my place, all the men knew that ‘drinking warm water is the cure to all illnesses’.”

Although it was just a joke, because in normal circumstances, all the men that asked a lady to ‘drink more water’ either ended up losing a girlfriend or continuing his life of a bachelor, it was nonetheless the best medicine for flu and fever in Gu Mengmeng’s situation of lack of medical resources.

Elvis looked at the pot, before confirming again, “Just drinking warm water will be fine?”

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head. Smelling the ginger scent lingering in the air, she added, “Throw in two pieces of ginger and cook for a while, it will be more effective.”

Elvis nodded, before pulling out his hands, walking further into the cave and taking two handfuls of ginger ready to throw into the pot.

“Wait!” Gu Mengmeng made the Er-Kang pose to stop him, her eyebrows twitched, and she asked, “Do you want to kill me with that spiciness”

Elvis was at a loss, he looked at Gu Mengmeng, confused.

Gu Mengmeng forced herself to sit up, pointed to the ginger in Elvis’s hands and said, “Just take one piece and put the rest at one side.”

Elvis followed what she said and chose the biggest chunk, then he looked at Gu Mengmeng and was about to throw it into the pot.

Gu Mengmeng facepalmed and said in despair, “Bring all the gingers in your hand over.”

Elvis probably realized that he had done something wrong, so he did not say anything else, walked to Gu Mengmeng with ginger and passed it all to her.

Gu Mengmeng did not have strength on her hands, hence she ordered Elvis to peel the ginger, cut two pieces around the thickness of a coin and put in to the pot. The rest was stacked together with the other gingers for use another time.
