A short while later, he received a reply from Pei Wu. He was slightly taken aback when he saw the message that she was coming to pick him up and the screenshot she sent. In the few seconds that he was stunned, Pei Wu's latest message popped up on the screen.

"Which one do you like? And which time slot suits your free time best?"

He was stunned because, in his memory, Pei Wu was like a block of wood, completely oblivious to romance. But now, Pei Wu not only said she would pick him up, but also thoughtfully asked him about his specific free time.

Moreover... Pei Wu, with her rigid and research-oriented nature, actually knew how to take screenshots of her date to choose a movie.

'When did her emotional intelligence become so high?' Jin Wei raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself. 'She even has entertainment apps now? Shouldn't her phone only have the system's built-in software?'

Jin Wei smiled faintly, but his aching back and slightly aching, cold abdomen made him bend over slightly.

"Didn't President Pei say he'd take me to see a new movie? Why is he asking me what movie I want to see again?"

'It's polite to ask the other person's opinion before going on a date.'

"Dating..."

After murmuring the word "date" aloud, Jin Wei replied, "Since it's a date, and it was you, Mr. Pei, who invited me... so isn't your so-called 'politeness' something you should be doing your 'homework' for, instead of asking me?"

Jin Wei replied to Pei Wu with a smile on his lips.

However, Pei Wu's reply wasn't as quick as before. Jin Wei, who had been holding his phone, kept looking at the top of the screen. Several times, the message "The other party is typing..." appeared before returning to silence, but he didn't receive a reply from Pei Wu.

As Jin Wei unconsciously licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue, his thoughts sank slightly.

He reached out and touched his lower abdomen, which was feeling cool and was aching more and more.

The real-world setting is the same as the game world; after injecting the suppressant, menstruation will begin... However, Jin Wei only felt a chill and slight pain, but nothing else...

After waiting for Pei Wu's message for a while without receiving it, Jin Wei finally realized the discomfort of not having showered the night before, so he prepared to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

The office lounge has a private bathroom.

Warm water gushed down from the showerhead, wetting Jin Wei's hair as well.

Why are you suddenly not replying to my messages...? Did I say something wrong?

Thinking of this, Jin Wei's heart sank again, and he suddenly felt the cramping pain in his abdomen become even more severe, and he unconsciously clicked his tongue.

After taking a shower, Jin Wei's first action was to grab his phone.

A string of unread WeChat messages appeared on his phone, and he finally clicked on them on a whim.

The message was sent by Pei Wu. It contained synopses, reviews, and cast lists of the movies she had just sent, and she had selected two of the most worthwhile movies for Jin Wei to choose from.

"This piece of wood..."

'How did you suddenly get it?'

Having learned from his previous experience, Jin Wei carefully considered his words before replying, "I'll think about it."

Pei Wu quickly replied with an "Okay."

After taking a shower, Jin Wei planned to go to the dressing room to find some clothes to change into, but he stopped in front of the full-length mirror in the dressing room. In the mirror, he was only wearing a bath towel, and the wet ends of his hair were still dripping water, which dripped onto his head.

Because of his mixed heritage, his skin resembled that of his father, a Western Caucasian, and his features were striking and deep-set. His dark, deep eyes shone with a sensual light, and now, after his bath, they were slightly flushed pink, radiating a captivating aura of hormones.

Having exercised regularly, he had a well-proportioned physique with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His firm abdomen didn't look like it had ever given birth to a child. However, there was a thin, whitish scar on his firm abdomen, which was barely visible unless you looked closely. But Jin Wei stared at it intently for a long time, even frowning slightly.

He reached out and touched the thin scar on his aching abdomen.

Although he couldn't remember what happened in the game at this moment, he knew Shen Yu Nan's character setting when he decided to enter the game with Shen Yu Nan's script. Shen Yu Nan's character setting was completely opposite to his own... a character who was even a few years younger than Pei Wu...

“Young male college students…as expected, they’re the type women like…” Jin Wei snorted coldly.

After all, he felt he was no longer young.

"Coming from a poor family...relying on her own tenacity to strive for success...working and studying diligently, the complete opposite of me, no wonder...tsk, you really do like this type...the kind that evokes a protective instinct."

Jin Wei's tone was rather dejected, and the corners of his mouth, which had just been turned up, suddenly drooped down.
