Chen Mo's heartbeat was out of rhythm.
This demoness was like a contradiction of innocence and allure, the two qualities perfectly intertwined, like a budding flower, possessing both the purity of a fresh bloom and the allure of full blossom.
"So this is the surprise you prepared? Why were you hesitating just now?"
"I was a bit afraid..."
"Afraid of what?"
Gu Manzhi leaned against his chest, softly murmuring, "I just feel like all this is too illusory, it feels unreal, like a bubble that could burst at a touch. I'm just afraid it will all be a dream, like Mirror Flower Water Moon..."
Chen Mo could understand her sentiment.
Once mortal enemies, they had come this far, one could only say fate was playing tricks on them.
He didn't say much, just silently held her tighter.
Gu Manzhi leaned against the firm chest, listening to the strong, powerful heartbeat, and gradually felt at ease.
