"..." Jin Wei felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He subconsciously rolled his throat and lowered his eyes in confusion. Pei Wu's eyes seemed to be burning his mind and body with a fire.

When the object of his long-standing crush looked at him with deep affection in her eyes, Jin Wei's heart nearly exploded. His breathing became unsteady, and the hormones in his body surged because of Pei Wu's eyes, her actions, and even the tiny specks of saliva that accidentally landed on him.

He bit his lip lightly to control his trembling body.

"...."

A few seconds later, Jin Wei suddenly stood up and hurriedly fled the restaurant.

Pei Wu was also surprised by Jin Wei's sudden departure. After realizing what had happened, she immediately chased after him. As soon as she stepped out of the restaurant, she saw Jin Wei, who was leaning against the wall with one hand and tugging at the tie around his neck.

He caught a glimpse of Pei Wu out of the corner of his eye, and then started to walk away again.

Although he lamented his own weakness, always easily letting the other person influence his hormones, he didn't want the other person to see him in such a disheveled state.

Pei Wu stopped half a meter away from Jin Wei. Seeing that Jin Wei was about to leave again, Pei Wu asked, "Did I overstep my bounds and make you unhappy? If my closeness makes you uncomfortable, I will..." Pei Wu paused for a moment, thinking of their conversation just now, and then said, "Or do you think I'm not a suitable person for you to date?"

"..."

Jin Wei stopped in his tracks upon hearing Pei Wu's words. At this moment, he had no time to weigh the pros and cons as he usually did; his mind was only racing with...

Then he stopped, and then... turned around, took two quick steps, and suddenly hugged Pei Wu.

"No...no."

Jin Wei had to admit that Pei Wu's faint... unique scent was enough to soothe his disordered hormones with just a simple hug.

In fact, he had thought that if he had been more direct in expressing his feelings to Pei Wu earlier, perhaps they could have avoided some detours and ended up at this age, still at the stage of testing each other. Perhaps being more direct and following one's heart would have been better.

Pei Wu was completely bewildered by Jin Wei's actions. The man who had just turned and left was now... hugging... her...

She still felt that men's hearts were hard to fathom.

Pei Wu's hands, hanging limply at her sides, were caught in a dilemma: whether to raise them or put them down. She was afraid that her initiative would upset the other person again.

Just then, Jin Wei's voice rang out again, "Don't misunderstand... I... I didn't mean that, it's... it's my own fault."

After her mind raced, Pei Wu tentatively asked, "So, you're shy?"

"I..." Jin Wei bit his lip hard, still unable to tell the truth about his physical condition. At that moment, he felt dizzy and fainted the next second, losing consciousness.

"Hello..."

Pei Wu reached out and took Jin Wei's hand. Seeing his abnormally flushed face and his heaving chest, Pei Wu reached out and touched his forehead.

At this moment, Jin Wei's forehead was burning hot.

Pei Wu immediately took Jin Wei to her private doctor's clinic, while Jin Wei, whose body was under the influence of hormones, was in a daze and his cheeks were flushed and hot.
