Chapter 8 I Can't Hold On

Wen Lan's boyfriend is from Changsha, while she is from Hangzhou, a considerable distance that, once she graduates from university, could cause many problems.

As the saying goes, "who has the advantage of proximity, gets the moon first". Li Bin lives under the same roof as Wen Lan while her boyfriend is in Changsha.

In this aspect, Li Bin has a clear advantage.

"I've never really liked him much. He thinks he's important because he has some money, and he's very annoying, always saying that girls in bands are harassed by investors, that if I join a band, he'll break up with me. Let him break up with me then, it's not like I really care about him much!" Wen Lan's words didn't seem to be just an expression of anger, and upon hearing that she might end things with her boyfriend, Li Bin felt euphoric.

"Wen Lan, if you have a dream, pursue it regardless of whether someone else supports you or not. Count on me for support; if you have any problems, tell me, I'll do what I can to help you. I understand your pain, I went through something similar when I left my job to write full-time and chase my dream... Ah..." Li Bin sighed deeply.

[Current State: Venting, relaxing, moved, empathetic]

[Affinity: +10 (40 friendship)]

10 affinity points! Straight to friendship!

The emotional attack and empathy effect worked very well; Wen Lan's affinity towards him increased to friendship.

This was a big step forward!

"Brother-in-law, you've had a tough time too, I know that neither my sister nor my parents support your writing much... But I will support you. I believe you can be a great writer!"

Upon being listened to like this by Li Bin, Wen Lan seemed to empathize with him, and a tender look appeared in her eyes.

"Thank you, Wen Lan." Seeing the tenderness in the beautiful Wen Lan's eyes, her short skirt couldn't hide the whiteness of her thighs, which made Li Bin's heart stir again.

Unable to help himself, Li Bin slowly moved closer to Wen Lan.

While moving, he constantly observed Wen Lan's reactions.

Seeing that she showed no signs of resistance or caution, Li Bin gained more confidence and sat beside her.

Their bodies were now just a fist's distance apart.

"By the way, Wen Lan, tomorrow you start your summer vacation, right? Tonight, I'll ask your sister and Xiaoting if we can go out for dinner together, the four of us siblings, it's been a while since we gathered." Li Bin tried to distract her while discreetly observing Wen Lan's state.

"Sure! Brother-in-law! I want to eat hot pot! I haven't had hot pot in so long!" Upon hearing there would be delicious food, Wen Lan immediately cheered up.

[Current State: Relaxed, moved, empathetic, happy]

[Affinity: +1 (41 friendship)]

Seeing the affinity increasing again, Li Bin dared to move more, sitting up so that his leg touched Wen Lan's leg.

The soft, warm sensation filled him with joy.

Wen Lan's fresh, youthful scent intoxicated him, his breathing became faster, and his member began to harden and swell.

"Wen Lan, that boyfriend of yours doesn't treat you well and he's so far away, I think you should think about breaking up with him..." Under the sway of his desire, Li Bin forgot the strategy and moved even closer to Wen Lan's tempting body.

"Brother-in-law... what... what are you doing?" Wen Lan seemed to notice something, frowned and moved to put distance between them.

[Current Status: Nervous, wary, surprised]

[Affinity: -5 (36 Familiarity)]

Seeing the affinity drop back to the familiarity category, Li Bin realized his mistake.

Even if Wen Lan's relationship with her boyfriend was not good, it was still a couple relationship, much more intimate than the one with Li Bin.

"Familiarity does not trump closeness," how could she forget? Even if she wanted to manipulate the situation, it shouldn't have been so obvious. Besides, in a moment of weakness, he couldn't hold back.

To hell with it all!

The body he had wanted for so long was right beside him; he just had to dive in to have it. Since things had reached this point, there was no turning back! He would enjoy it first, and then he would see!

Li Bin, once again, let his desire overpower him, his breathing became rapid, his eyes bloodshot as he lunged at Wen Lan.

"Ahhh! Brother-in-law! Are you crazy! What do you want to do! Get away! Don't touch me!" horrified Wen Lan watched her brother-in-law pounce on her like a beast, her mind went blank.

Seizing the moment, Li Bin voraciously kissed Wen Lan's lips, sucking greedily, while his hands carelessly reached under her clothes and roughly grabbed her bra.

Even through the bra, he felt the softness and firmness of her breast.

"Suck, suck..." Feeling her mouth being invaded by her brother-in-law's, Wen Lan's eyes widened in surprise and fury.

"Slap!" Wen Lan slapped Li Bin hard across his face.
