1. "It doesn't hurt anymore."
2. In the novel, serena only had her first kiss
1. With the male lead after she reached adulthood.
2. So, the kiss that I stole away must have been her first...
1. And I didn't even ask for her consent! For me to do something so despicable, how am I any different from the villain willow?!
1. "I'm sorry... I couldn't control myself earlier, I didn't mean to..."
1. "What's there to apologize for?"
2. "If I weren't willing, I could've bitten you back..."
1. "Please don't be angry. I really didn't mean to do it on purpose..."
2. "I know. I don't blame you."
1. Are my feelings that important to her?
2. Does that mean that she does like me... Even just a little bit?
1. "I'll be all better after a night's sleep. You should get some rest, too."
1. "Yes, you've done a commendable job on this project."
1. "You've grasped these subjects quite quickly. I'm sure mr. Chen will be very pleased."
2. "Thank you, mrs. Feng."
1. "But what happened to your lip? I noticed it since earlier."
2. "Nothing, just an accident."
1. "Did a cat scratch you?"
1. "I... Guess so."
2. "Excuse me. I need to take this call."
1. "Hello, dear~"
2. "Yes, yes, anything you say."
1. "Mmhmm~"
2. Could we be like that too, in the future?
1. Ahh, I don't even know if she likes me yet!
2. Why am I thinking about the future already...
1. "Mrs. Feng."
2. "What is it?"
1. "I just want to ask... How did you and your partner figure out your feelings for each other?"
1. "Why the sudden interest in something like this?"
2. "Well, I have a friend who's been troubled about something lately..."
1. "There's someone she likes, but she doesn't know if she should take the first step."
2. "Is that so? Well, I can"
1. "Share my experience."
2. "I was the one who confessed to my wife first."
3. "She used to be a client of mine, but over time, we became friends."
1. "One day, while we were out for dinner together, I confessed my feelings for her."
1. "Aren't you worried that things might never go back to how they used to be after confessing?"
1. "I had a feeling that she liked me too, so that fueled my courage."
2. "My wife later told me that actually, she was going to confess to me if I hadn't done so first."
3. "I guess you"
1. "Can describe it as the compatibility between an alpha and an omega."
2. "But what if the alpha is only being swayed by her pheromones?"
1. That she only got close to my friend because of her rut...
2. "Serena, compatibility is something that's built up as two people spend time together."
3. "While pheromones can cloud one's judgment, the answer can also be hidden beneath them."
1. "Maybe that person also likes your friend, so she should consider confessing."
1. "But... My friend isn't completely sure. What if their relationship becomes strained after she confesses?"
2. "They might as well keep"
1. As well keep what they have now...
2. "And when will she be "Completely sure"?"
1. If you don't knock on the door, you'll never know what's waiting for you behind it.
1. "If you really don’t have the confidence, you can try and feel them out."
2. "For example, maybe post something vague on social media, like “It’s going to rain today, but I didn’t bring my umbrella” or something like that."
1. Something like that!
2. And see how the person your friend likes will respond to it.
1. "Will that really work?"
2. "Of course. Even if she doesn't say anything..."
1. "Her actions will reveal her feelings."
1. "Hey wills"
1. "Hey wills, came to visit?"
1. "How are you holding up? You don't look so good today."
2. "It's only been a week since I came out of surgery."
1. "No need to lose your head like jenny did."
2. "I had to take a scalpel to the scent gland after all. We gotta give it some time to recover."
1. "But hey, why isn't serena with you today?"
2. "Well, it's the weekend soon, and she's busy, so I came alone."
1. "Hey wills, did something happen between the two of you?"
2. "No? It's just that a friend of mine—"
1. "Not this again, wills!"
1. "C'mon! I gotta save face too, you know?"
2. "Fine. So what happened to your friend?"
1. "During her rut, she forced a kiss on the omega she likes..."
