But more than that, there was courage and sincerity.
Chen Mo continued, "I once read something in a book: when you like someone, you shouldn't hide it. You should let her know that you like her."
"Even if she doesn't like me, if I tell her, at least I can pursue her openly instead of sneaking around like this."
Queen Medusa kept backing away, the frost on her face melting bit by bit. Chen Mo kept advancing, pressing her step by step, then grabbed her hand and said affectionately:
"Your Majesty, I'm not talking nonsense. I truly—"
"Shut up!"
Seeing the shape of Chen Mo's mouth, Queen Medusa suddenly snapped just as he was about to say the words "I like you."
Her heart was in turmoil. The frost had vanished from her seductive face, replaced by a deep blush.
There was also an indescribable mix of embarrassment and nervousness in her eyes.
Yet Chen Mo acted as though he had not heard her at all and said the words "I like you" in full.
He placed particular emphasis on the word "you."
Queen Medusa's heart beat even faster, and her ample chest heaved violently.
Her beautiful eyes kept avoiding Chen Mo's unwavering gaze as she said tremulously:
"Human, do you know what you're saying? This Queen will assume you lost your head today and weren't thinking clearly. What happened today never happened. I'll forget it, and you'll forget it too! L-Later..."

Chen Mo froze for a moment, then struck while the iron was hot. "Actually, you look truly beautiful when you're asleep, and your lips are really soft."
As he spoke, Chen Mo wrapped an arm around Queen Medusa's slender waist.
