Through the touch of their lips, Pei Wu gradually released her own hormones. The scent of Pei Wu's hormones was similar to her personality—very faint, with a light gardenia fragrance and a hint of sweetness.

Her unique DNA caused Jin Wei's male hormones to gradually be released as well... As their hormones merged, Jin Wei's slightly panting breathing gradually calmed down, and he slowly regained his consciousness.

As Jin Wei's eyelashes trembled slightly, he slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Pei Wu's magnified face. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly realized what had happened.

His cheeks instantly burned.

Pei Wu sensed Jin Wei's subtle movements, so she opened her eyes and slowly got up.

She asked, "Awake?"

"Um."

"Are you feeling any better?"

"Much better."

After what just happened, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward.

"How about we keep you in the hospital for observation tonight?"

"..." Knowing why he had fainted, Jin Wei's cheeks burned even more, and he subconsciously lowered his eyelids and turned his head slightly away from Pei Wu.

Pei Wu had seen this kind of action more than once, whether it was Shao Sang, Shen Yu Nan, or the person in front of her... Jin Wei.

Seeing the other person's seemingly shy gestures, Pei Wu tentatively opened her mouth and asked, "Do you... like me? I mean, always have..."

"..." Jin Wei still didn't turn to look at Pei Wu, but Pei Wu noticed the other's tightly pursed lips.

"My words may be a bit abrupt, so if you don't want to answer, then don't. Anyway, all I need to know is how I feel, that I like you."

After Pei Wu finished speaking, Jin Wei slowly sat up, supporting himself on the bed. He reached up and covered his forehead, letting out a muffled "hmm".

Just as he thought before losing consciousness, he and Pei Wu had already wasted too much time testing each other... It would be better to be frank... Besides, the other party had already made her attitude clear.

Jin Wei sat up and then reached out to wrap his arms around Pei Wu's neck. He rested his forehead on Pei Wu's shoulder and gently inhaled the faint fragrance lingering on her body.

"Yes, I admit it... I like you, ever since I was seventeen... I've always liked you..."

Jin Wei's voice was soft, lacking the aggressive arrogance he usually displayed.

After hearing the other person's reply, Pei Wu reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Thank you, thank you for liking me."

Pei Wu's words were sincere; she truly had never imagined that a man would have liked her for so many years, since their youth. "I will do my best... to be good to you."

After listening to Pei Wu's words, Jin Wei decided to stay in the hospital for observation overnight.

The food at the private hospital was good and light enough. Pei Wu ate with them and also thought it tasted good.

A while after dinner, the nurse came to give Jin Wei an injection.

"What kind of potion is this?" Pei Wu asked.

"Oh, this is to regulate the balance of hormones in the body."

As the nurse spoke, she looked for a suitable spot on the back of Jin Wei's hand to insert the needle, but Jin Wei frowned and turned his head away, refusing to look at the hand that was being pricked.

Pei Wu noticed Jin Wei's subtle movements and asked, "Are you... afraid of pain?"

"No," Jin Wei replied crisply.

"Okay, press this bell after the IV drip is finished, and I'll come and remove the needle."

"Okay, thank you."

After the nurse left, Pei Wu and Jin Wei were left alone in the ward, and the atmosphere became awkward again.

Would you like...some water?

Jin Wei shook his head. "It's getting late, aren't you...going home?" Jin Wei had always addressed Pei Wu as Pei Wu, Miss Pei, or President Pei, but now that they were officially dating, those titles felt inappropriate...

"I'll stay and keep you company." Pei Wu paused briefly, glanced around, and then said, "I'll just spend the night on the sofa, and tomorrow... I'll take you home. Is that alright?"

'I'll be alone tonight...'

"..." Jin Wei's heart beat faster when he heard Pei Wu's words. He hurriedly looked away from Pei Wu and replied, "Okay."
