Ji Hongxiu's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and her face regained a hint of color.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing Chen Mo, she averted her gaze, appearing somewhat unnatural.

Ji Hongxiu's cheeks flushed red and then pale, but she did not retort, lowering her eyes in silence.
Without his help, she indeed couldn't surpass this hurdle.
"Speaking of which, I felt something strange just now."
"Usually, you go out of your way to take advantage of me, so why are you being so restrained today? It's like you've become a different person..."
