Chapter 21: Wen Lan's First Kiss, Concealment

At this moment, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze suddenly, and the atmosphere instantly became ambiguous.

It was only then that Wen Lan realized that she was actually alone in a room with her brother-in-law.

She wanted to escape, but at the same time, she couldn't bear to leave.

She enjoyed being with her brother-in-law, Li Bin. Being with him made her feel safe, warm, and happy. While when she was all alone, she felt lonely and empty.

She knew it was dangerous to feel this way, but she couldn't help but want to be close to Li Bin.

[Current state: Nervous, shy, confused, unsure, cozy, sweet]

[Intimacy Level: 89 (Very Close)]

Li Bin was observing Wen Lan and noticed that the intimacy level wasn't decreasing. This encouraged him to control his emotions; he gradually extended his trembling hand, and gently wrapped it around Wen Lan's waist.

Feeling Li Bin's warm hand, Wen Lan trembled slightly. She immediately shyly avoided Li Bin's tender gaze, turned her head nervously, and bit her lip tightly.

[Current state: Nervous, bashful, confused, blank, surprised, conflicted, hesitant]

[Intimacy level: 89 (Very Close)]

Wen Lan's emotions were undergoing some changes, but they weren't negative.

The level of intimacy didn't decrease either!

Li Bin saw an opportunity!

With a gentle squeeze of his palm, Wen Lan, already off balance due to nervousness, easily fell into Li Bin's embrace.

"Brother-in-law... What are you... doing?" Wen Lan tensed up, feeling Li Bin's hot body and heavy breath.

This was her first intimate encounter with a man!

And this man was her brother-in-law!

Although she felt incredibly embarrassed and afraid, the sudden intimacy made Wen Lan feel comfortable and cozy.

At her age, Wen Lan was experiencing the blossoming of love and the stirring of adolescence.

Naturally, she longed to be cared for, loved, and cherished.

She was also lonely. Instinctively, she wanted more intimacy with Li Bin, the only man she could connect with.

Her body instinctively responded as well.

Faced with her brother-in-law's sudden embrace, Wen Lan couldn't react for a moment. Her mind went blank, and she didn't know what to do. She just bit her alluring, moist lips shyly and lowered her head.

The fragrance of a beautiful woman and the softness of her body intoxicated Li Bin, arousing a nervous excitement in his heart.

"Wen Lan, from the moment your brother-in-law first saw you... I... fell in love with you... This feeling is like... the affection an older brother has for his younger sister, but at the same time... it's the kind of feeling a man has when he encounters love at first sight... I'm feeling very conflicted right now... Only when I hold you, can I feel a little better in my heart..." Li Bin said with a trembling voice, full of emotion.

"Wen Lan, I know... I shouldn't have any other feelings for you... I've been restraining myself... but... I really... really like you... Wen Lan... I'm sorry..." Looking at Wen Lan's perfectly aligned, glossy lips tightly clenched, with a sad and panicked expression in her eyes, it seemed to touch a soft string in Li Bin's heart. He couldn't control his emotions anymore and leaned down, kissing Wen Lan's alluring, moist lips.

Her soft, sweet, and tender lips touched his lips; Li Bin felt himself falling into a state of ecstasy!

Li Bin had been waiting for this moment for too long, thinking about it for too long!

In that moment of intimacy, Li Bin felt a release throughout his entire being.

Wen Lan's sweet breath and her soft and tender lips made Li Bin feel as if he had found his first kiss!

It was a kind of unprecedented beauty, accompanied by the excitement and pleasure of a forbidden affair!

"Brother-in-law..." Wen Lan's breathing became rapid as she kissed Li Bin, but after a moment, as if something had stimulated her, she suddenly pushed Li Bin away and rushed out of the room in a panic.

[Current state: Guilt, shame, nervousness, confusion, distress, surprise, conflict]

[Intimacy Level: -20 (69: Close)]

[Achievement completed: Wen Lan's first kiss; Reward: Appearance +5 (76: Attractive)]

Watching Wen Lan's panicked figure and the status above her head, Li Bin couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

Li Bin was still intoxicated by the few seconds he had kissed his sister-in-law!

Wen Lan's sudden departure made Li Bin feel like something was missing all of a sudden!

His heart felt empty and uncomfortable.

However, this time, Li Bin had no regrets and no plans to experience death and rebirth again.

Li Bin knew that his forbidden love for her would be exposed one day, it was only a matter of time.

Wen Lan would also have to face the fact that she was his sister-in-law.

Although Li Bin's bold and reckless actions had decreased the Intimacy Level by 20 points, but now, Wen Lan understood his feelings perfectly, and the kiss they shared earlier was her first kiss, perhaps planting a seed in her heart!

Intimacy could be increased further, but this hurdle that had to be crossed was not easy to cross.

As long as Wen Lan didn't reject him, his chances would only increase!

After all, they lived under the same roof, and there were often opportunities for them to be alone together as a man and a woman.

As the saying goes, familiarity breeds affection. Li Bin didn't believe that his sister-in-law could reject him over and over again!

"Ka ka ka..."

The sound of the garage door opening echoed, and Li Bin hurriedly glanced at his watch. Unbeknownst to him, it was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

His mother-in-law and wife, Wen Wan, had returned home.

Li Bin nervously walked downstairs and discreetly peeked outside Wen Lan's room, feeling anxious and uneasy.

Having just enjoyed himself, Li Bin feared that if Wen Lan couldn't come to terms with it or felt guilty and secretly told his father-in-law, mother-in-law, or his wife, his life would be over!

If it weren't for the ability to die and be reborn because of the system, Li Bin wouldn't dare to face his sister-in-law and the people at home.

Just thinking about it made him nervous and faintly excited too.

Wen Lan's room's door remained tightly shut. Li Bin listened secretly for a while but there was no sound from inside, so he walked downstairs burdened with thoughts.

Given Wen Lan's personality, Li Bin could rest assured.

Wen Lan valued her reputation, cared about face, and was somewhat timid and weak when it came to family matters.

If this matter were to be revealed, it would not only harm Li Bin but also be extremely embarrassing for her.

After all, she hadn't resisted too much either.

"Wow! Honey, what happened to you today? Why are you dressed so handsomely? Today... it's like you've become a different person, suddenly... suddenly much more handsome!" As soon as Li Bin walked downstairs, his wife, Wen Wan, looked at his new outfit with surprise and exclaimed.

Li Bin glanced at himself and remembered that he was still wearing the new clothes Wen Lan had bought for him.

Well, it seems like his beloved sister-in-law had a good eye; this new outfit immediately made him look much more energetic.

Also, after stealing Wen Lan's first kiss just now, resulting in a 5-point increase in his appearance, it only made sense for Wen Wan to say that he had become more handsome.

When he looked in the mirror earlier, Li Bin also felt that he became much more pleasing to the eyes.

"Oh? Really? Wife, if you like this look of mine, I'll buy more casual clothes like this in the future." Li Bin playfully blinked at Wen Wan, striking a pose with self-admiration.

"Huh? When did you buy these new clothes?" Wen Wan suddenly noticed the unfamiliar clothes Li Bin was wearing, and they were brand new, completely different in style from his previous clothes.

"Ah? I bought them today when I went out. Since there was no one at home to cook, I went with..." Li Bin pretended to be casual and explained to his wife.

In reality, he was extremely anxious.

Being unfaithful to his wife for the first time, Li Bin couldn't help feeling guilty.

After all, he had just done something that betrayed his wife with his sister-in-law, and now he had to act natural. Li Bin wasn't accustomed to it.

He hesitated in his heart about whether to tell his wife that he had gone out shopping with Wen Lan to buy the clothes.

"Brother-in-law, didn't you know I was at home too? How could you go out shopping without taking me? Are you not ashamed? I had to order takeout at home!! You're so despicable!" Just as Li Bin was hesitating about how to answer, Wen Lan suddenly appeared at the staircase, walking down naturally, and eagerly interjected.

Li Bin was taken aback and immediately realized that his sister-in-law was trying to conceal and remind him how to answer.

From what Wen Lan implied, it seems like she explicitly wanted to keep the fact that they had gone out together a secret from Wen Wan and other.

"Ah? Wen Lan, you were at home? I had no idea since I didn't saw you, I thought you went out with Xiao Ting to play..." Li Bin awkwardly turned his head to glance at Wen Lan.

To his surprise, their current level of intimacy had been restored! And it was even higher than before!

[Current state: Nervous, Concealing, Lying, Fearful, Guilty]

[Intimacy: 91 (Very Close)]

'It had reached 91?!'

'How did this happen?'
