Lihua rapidly blinked her eyes. Confusion marred her face.

"What?"

Wei nodded. "En. When I realized my desire for you, I started to look upon sex."

She coughed hard.

Lihua wanted to puke three liters of blood at this preposterous confession.

"What!?" She looked at him, speechless and dumbstruck.

"Yes. I don't know about physical intimacy, so I wanted to know more about it. I learned that a woman's first time is painful for her. I got scared by reading that because I don't want to hurt you. But before I could search up ways on what to do to counter it, I had to look up ways on how to woo you first. I messed up the order," his gaze dimmed.

Lihua could even see imaginary dog ears on his head that dropped due to sadness.

Why does the Boss always manage to shock me? I thought the list of shocks is already over, but somehow, he always makes me speechless every time.

Nevertheless, her heart warmed up to know that he cared so much about her first time with him and the pain that was eventually to come.

She shook her head and chuckled. "Boss, why are you worrying about that now?"

His gaze was determined and serious. "I will not do anything half-hearted, especially if it concerns you."

Once again, an arrow struck her heart and she melted.

"It said that sex will be painful. But I don't know any measures to nullify it. So we cannot have sex until I am sure that you won't get hurt."

Lihua smiled. "Boss, I will be fine. It's not that bad as you are making it sound."

Wei shook his head in disagreement. "It's not fine. Why isn't sex painful for men?" He tilted his head.

Lihua coughed. "W-well, that's how God designed our bodies. Men don't have a hymen that ruptures."

"Then either God should put a hymen in men or remove it from a woman's body," he plainly stated as it was no big deal.

Her eyes popped out of her eyes. "Pfft," she burst into laughter. "This is the first time I am hearing this. I never thought a man would say this."

"Why not?"

"Because it has always been that way."

"Just because it has always been that way doesn't mean that it is fair. If a man doesn't suffer, so shouldn't the woman too while having sex. If a woman suffers, then it should be painful for a man too. I don't like it that you will be hurt but I won't."

Lihua stared at him in a trance. No matter how much talked to him, moments like these always made her wonder whether she would be able to fully understand Wei ever. Whenever she thought that she reached a step closer to knowing a little more about him, he would always say or act something that blew her mind away.

At most during sex, men try to prepare their women so it would hurt less. But to question how nature was unfair and express how men should equally be hurt was something she never imagined any man would think of. Wei was sulking right now because sex would be painless to him.

Has any man on this planet ever felt sad because sex would be painless to him!?

"Boss…I may really sound cheesy with this, but please stop saying such sweet things that will get me diabetes!" She sobbed.

Wei looked at her questioningly. "You are healthy. You won't get diabetes," he patted her cheek.

With your words, I seriously doubt it!

She pressed her brows. "How can a man be…ugh, I have no words to express. But Boss, trust me. I…" she blushed a little, "will be fine. D-Don't think so much about it."

Wei narrowed his eyes and sat up on the bed. Lihua got confused. "What are you doing?"

He earnestly said, "I cannot not think about it. It's about your health and safety. I will not compromise on anything."

"..."

Health and safety is a bit too much...So wait! Does that mean we are not gonna *cough* do it tonight?

Lihua nervously laughed. "Boss, you are not thinking of s-stopping here, are you?"

"Wait a minute."

Wei stepped out of the room much to her bewilderment. A minute later, he returned with a tab in his hand. He sat on the bed again and switched it on.

Lihua knitted her brows. "Why did you bring a tab?"

"To complete my research on sex."

She rapidly blinked her eyes.

Wei softly smiled and patted her head. "Wait for a while. I will research everything I need to know on how to make sex the most painless for you."

"!!!"

She looked at him with her mouth opened in a big O. "Y-you are searching that now?"

"En."

"I mean... right now?"

"I have the tab with me."

"..."

Lihua could only watch her in utter speechlessness as he sincerely typed his query in Baidu. She peeked in and puked blood as she saw the search results. It showed the list of links, captioned as -

'10 things that can make sex painful for women and how to avoid it.'

'Know more about female pain during sexual intercourse.'

'Painful sex : What women can do?'

Her gaze alternated between the tab and Wei, feeling dumbfounded.

He is actually searching for it now! At the time when we should be having sex, he is busy researching on the tab!

"Boss…"

Wei glanced at her.

"You can leave it. It's just a little pain…"

"No," he firmly said, "I need to know all the methods for tackling it."

She coughed, feeling embarrassed.

I never thought a man would decide to complete his research when things are just about to start. Boss is...so cute and incredible.

She couldn't budge him so she patiently waited in silence.

*Tick tock, tick tock…*

Twenty-five minutes had gone by. Lihua thought he would be done searching in five minutes, but apparently not so. He wasn't leaving a single website on Baidu that mentioned painful sex. She peeked from time to time and every time she thought that this would be the last site, but Wei would splash water on her hopes when he opened another.

"..."

Why is Boss so meticulous? She sobbed. When will his research get over?
