A gentle voice sounded by her ear, and Du Yunluo stared directly at Mu Lianxiao's slender black eyes, which were so close that they reflected a shadow of emotions she couldn't quite decipher—surprise, panic, or perhaps a hint of joy.
As they spoke, Du Yunluo could even feel Mu Lianxiao's warm breath entirely upon her nose tip.
Du Yunluo thought her nose tip might be sweating; it felt a little itchy, a little hot.
She hurriedly nodded, her movement a bit too large, causing a bump as her forehead collided with Mu Lianxiao's.
Du Yunluo's eyes suddenly tightened.
Mu Lianxiao was taken aback, unmoving for a moment until he realized their proximity was indeed too close, prompting him to quickly step back, and Du Yunluo lowered her head.
Though an accident, the incident swept away the gloom brought by Princess Yunhua between them, and without realizing it, Mu Lianxiao's heart beat faster.
He took a long, deep breath in secret.
