Yu Hongyin raised her head in a bit of a daze. "Mr. Chen, what did you say?"
Chen Mo's lips curved slightly, a smile playing there. "Being trapped in this underground palace really is quite a headache, but luckily I have Saintess Yu by my side, which keeps this place from being so boring."
Yu Hongyin froze. That gentle gaze wrapped around her as if it were going to melt her whole being. She could even hear her own heart pounding "thump, thump" in her ears.
"What does Mr. Chen mean by that?"
"Could it be… could it be that he likes me too?"
Her mind was a complete mess, spinning out of control with wild thoughts.
"Ahem!"
Just then, a fit of coughing sounded, shattering the tender atmosphere.
The two of them turned their heads to look, only to see that Yu Youhan had woken up at some unknown point. Her cyan-green eyes were as cold as a deep pond. "Sorry to interrupt you two. Should I give you some space?"
