Chapter 2353
- Mu Wan sat up and pondered, "I want to understand."
- "Love, it's because dopamine is produced in the body. This substance triggers feelings of excitement, sweetness, and fills the mind with thoughts of the other person. It's an irrational state, overlooking flaws, simply wanting to be close, affectionate, kiss, and be clingy. However, after two months, this euphoria fades. Rationality begins to resurface. When the dopamine rush subsides, thoughts of the other person no longer dominate the mind, and the desire to be together weakens. People return to their normal lives, and start making more logical assessments. Is this person compatible? Is this what I truly want? Can we have a lasting relationship? What qualities do they possess that attract me, that captivate me? If, after these rational evaluations, the love remains, then it's genuine. But this love is built on a foundation. Once that foundation starts to crumble, love will... drift away like the wind."
