Right then, the air in the whole room seemed to freeze—the vibe turned intimate as hell in a flash.
Wen Lan only just realized she was alone with her brother-in-law. She wanted to bolt, but at the same time, she didn't want to leave.
She liked how it felt being with Li Bin—safe, warm, happy.
But being alone like this, she also felt crazy lonely and empty. She knew this was risky, but she couldn't stop wanting to get closer to him.

Li Bin was scoping Wen Lan too, seeing no red flags in her emotional state, which gave him the guts to—keeping it smooth—slowly stretch out his shaky hand and gently wrap it around her waist.
Wen Lan felt Li Bin's warm hand and her body gave a little tremble, instantly dodging his soft gaze with a shy turn of her head, nervously biting her lip.

Wen Lan's emotional state shifted a bit, but no bad vibes. The intimacy didn't drop!
Li Bin saw his shot. With a light squeeze, Wen Lan's tense body lost balance from the nerves and slid right into his arms.
"Brother-in-law... what... what are you doing...?" Wen Lan kept her body stiff, feeling Li Bin's heat and heavy breathing.
This was her first time getting this close with a guy, and that guy was her brother-in-law. She was insanely embarrassed and freaked out, but this unexpected closeness also felt cozy and safe.
Wen Lan was at that age where feelings start blooming, and deep down, she naturally craved being cared for, loved, spoiled.
She felt so damn lonely too, and instinctively wanted more closeness with Li Bin—the only guy she could vibe with right now. Her body reacted on its own.
Faced with her brother-in-law's sudden hug, Wen Lan couldn't process it—her mind went blank, just biting her full, rosy lips while shyly dropping her head.
The beauty in his arms, soft and sweet-smelling, had Li Bin buzzing with pleasure as his heart raced from the tension.
"Wen Lan, truth is, from the first time I saw you, I... I fell for you... these feelings... they're like... a brother's love for his sister, but also like a guy falling hard at first sight... Now... my feelings are all messed up... only when I hold you, my heart feels right..." Li Bin said, voice shaky and kinda sad.
"Brother-in-law! I know you're good to me... I... I love you too... but... but you're my sister's husband... so... we can only have sibling love... we can't... can't have other feelings... please, brother-in-law... treat me like your real sister... okay?" Wen Lan, biting her rosy lips, looked up at Li Bin with pleading eyes.
"Wen Lan... I know... I shouldn't feel anything else for you... I've tried to rein it in... but... I really... really like you so much... Wen Lan... I'm sorry..." Li Bin stared at her full lips, chewed by her teeth, her eyes full of sadness and panic, hitting the softest spot in his heart. Unable to hold back, he leaned in and kissed her rosy lips.
Soft, sweet, tender lips filled his mouth, plunging Li Bin into total bliss.
This moment—he'd waited for it too damn long, wanted it too damn bad.
The second he did it, Li Bin felt free as hell. Wen Lan's sweet breath, her soft, warm lips, gave him that first-kiss rush—something he'd never felt before, mixed with the thrill and high of doing something forbidden.
"Brother-in-law..." Wen Lan, breathing fast, kissed Li Bin back, but just a split second later, like she'd been hit with a wake-up slap, she shoved him off and bolted for the door in a panic.

Watching Wen Lan's panicked figure hightail it out and her emotional state flashing above her head, Li Bin couldn't help feeling a gut punch of loss.
Li Bin was still riding the high from those few seconds of kissing his cuñada. Her sudden dash left him feeling like something was ripped away.
His heart was hollow and aching.
