You Owe Me, My Love

Chapter 263 Gu Mingchen In The Mirror

“I’ll do it. As long as you stay with me, I’ll do anything for you. You know that I’m being serious, don’t you?” Su Xuyan replied lovingly.

Tilting her head, Bai Rong asked, “You’ll really do anything for me?”

“Anything.” There was not the slightest hint of hesitation in Su Xuyan’s voice.

“Hmph. Alright. I’ll go to the bathroom for a bit first.” She got up and left. Looking at the gorgeous reflection of herself in the mirror, she saw the uncertainty in her own eyes.

She sank into deep thought. Things that she had learned about love flashed across her head. She once read that love could be equated to dopamine in terms of chemical elements. A person in love would feel overwhelmed by a sweet sense of warmth from that chemical as if the world had turned into a fantasy land. All that couples in love would see was the good in each other, and all that they would feel was the longing for each other when they were apart.

However, the effects of the dopamine would be flushed out of one’s system eventually due to metabolic activity. A relationship that ran on only dopamine would last for three months at most.

After three months, the key to maintaining a romantic relationship would shift from their chemistry to their morals, sense of responsibility, and attitudes toward life.

Rationality would have to be prioritized over emotions. One would have to consider the dynamics of the relationship and think more deeply about the good and bad of one’s partner.

The criteria for a lifetime partner would be much stricter than that of a short-term lover. With increasing unmet expectations and their partner’s flaws coming to light, couples would find themselves fighting more often. Their relationship might take a fatal blow from all the fighting and thus come to an end. With that, a new romantic journey fuelled by dopamine would begin.

So, what’s the reason that I’m falling deeper and deeper in love with Mingchen? Dopamine? And, why does Su Xuyan say that he loves me?

“Rong.” Gu Mingchen’s voice pulled Bai Rong back to reality.
