Chapter 990: She fell, and he succeeded

The temperature from Lin Lang's fingertips was like an electric current, flowing along Yao Beina's palm all the way to her whole body. She couldn't help but shiver slightly, but Lin Lang held her hand even tighter.

"Nana, don't be so quick to deny it."

Lin Lang lowered his voice, a hint of laughter brushing Yao Beina's ear, "First love is like this, your heart is beating like a deer, but you still pretend to be strong."

Yao Beina's breathing paused for a moment, and her drooping eyelashes trembled even more violently, like the wings of a frightened butterfly.

She could smell the faint scent of tobacco on Lin Lang, mixed with the lingering body fragrance of Gu Ran, which spread in an ambiguous manner throughout the office.

"Brother Lang..." Yao Beina wanted to pull her hand back, but Lin Lang gently pinched her fingertips. The force was not strong, but it carried a sense of not being able to refuse.

Lin Lang raised his eyebrows and smirked, "What? You're halfway through your first love experience class and you want to drop out?"

Yao Beina secretly glanced at the hands of the two people holding each other. Lin Lang's palm was broad and warm, wrapping her hand completely. The feeling was strange and reassuring.

This feeling reminded her of the hot water bottle she held when she was a child. It was so hot that she wanted to let go, but she couldn't bear to give up the warmth.

So, Yao Beina bit her red lips and said with a stiff upper lip, "No, Brother Lang, your first love experience class is unique. I want to continue learning."

Lin Lang smiled slightly and walked towards the sofa with Yao Beina by the hand, his steps so slow that it seemed like he was taking a stroll.

Yao Beina was pulled by him and followed him almost step by step. The sound of her high heels stepping on the floor was like the sound of her heartbeat beating in her ears.

"Sit down." Lin Lang gestured for Yao Beina to sit down on the sofa, but he did not let go of her hand. Instead, he squatted in front of her and looked up at her.

This angle is terrible.

Yao Beina could clearly see Lin Lang's slightly furrowed brows, his straight nose, and the curve at the corner of his lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

His breath fell gently on the back of her hand, bringing a little tickling feeling, making her want to curl her fingers, but he held them firmly.

"Nana, do you know?"

"When a boy is in love for the first time, he will secretly look at the girl, watching her lower her head to write, watching her dimples when she smiles, watching the tips of her ears red from the sun."

As Lin Lang spoke, his fingertips slid up along Yao Beina's palm and gently brushed the inside of her wrist, where the skin was thinnest and he could clearly feel the beating of her pulse. "Just like now."

Yao Beina's face suddenly turned red, and even the base of her neck was dyed pink.

She wanted to avoid Lin Lang's gaze, but her eyes seemed to be attracted by a magnet and she couldn't move them away.

Lin Lang's eyes were very deep, like a lake filled with stars, which made her feel flustered, but she couldn't help but want to explore deeper.

"Brother Lang... stop talking..." Her voice was a little breathy and as soft as marshmallow, without any persuasiveness at all.

Lin Lang chuckled softly, and the vibration of his chest was transmitted through his clasped hands, like a fine electric current running under his skin.

Lin Lang slowly stood up and pulled Yao Beina up. The distance between the two of them was instantly shortened, so close that they could breathe each other's breath, and it seemed like they were about to hug each other.

"You don't have to tell me, then let's experience it in a different way." Lin Lang's hand moved up along Yao Beina's wrist and gently landed on her waist. He applied a little force with his fingertips and pulled her into his arms.

Yao Beina held her breath and all the muscles in her body tensed up.

She could feel the warmth of Lin Lang's chest through the thin shirt, so hot that she almost burned.

Her hands froze at her sides, not knowing where to put them. She could only let Lin Lang hold his arms around her waist, as if she were under a spell.

"Uh..." Yao Beina wanted to say something, but her heart was beating so fast that she didn't know what to say.

"When a guy is in his first love, he'll muster up the courage to hug a girl, his heart beating louder than a drum. He's afraid of hurting her if he hugs her too tightly, but also afraid she'll run away if he hugs her too loosely." Lin Lang rested his chin lightly on the top of Yao Beina's head, his voice low and hoarse with a hint of allure, "Just like now."

Yao Beina was embraced by Lin Lang again. She felt that his arms were very wide and warm, with a reassuring power that made her want to shrink in.

"Brother Lang..." Her voice was soft and nasal, "We're hugging each other like this...is this really teaching?"

Lin Lang tightened his arms, hugging Yao Beina even tighter. He nuzzled her hair with his nose and asked with a playful smile, "What else? Am I trying to take advantage of you by hugging you?"

After hearing this, Yao Beina's face turned even redder, but she didn't refute it.

She quietly raised her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but gently put her arm around Lin Lang's waist.

His waist and abdomen were very strong, and the tight muscle lines could be felt through his shirt, which made Yao Beina's heart skip a beat.

"Then... when will this class end?" Her voice was buried in Lin Lang's chest, muffled, like a coquettish kitten.

Lin Lang chuckled softly and scratched Yao Beina's waist lightly with his fingertips, causing her to tremble slightly.

"End? The first love experience class has just begun, my classmate Nana." He paused deliberately, looking at the red corners of Yao Beina's eyes, and the smile in his voice deepened.

At this moment, it seemed that the air in the office was about to overflow with sweetness.

Yao Beina raised her head slightly to look at Lin Lang's handsome face, breathing rapidly and said, "Brother Lang, according to your routine, after holding hands and hugging, the next step is to start teaching kissing and take away my first kiss?"

Lin Lang couldn't help but smile, breathing in the virgin fragrance of Yao Beina, and replied in a rolling throat: "How can a first love experience class be without the wonderful experience of a first kiss!"

"Uh...but, this is my first kiss, Brother Lang, do you really have to take it away from me?" Yao Beina looked embarrassed, her delicate body trembling slightly in Lin Lang's arms.

Lin Lang raised his hand and caressed Yao Beina's flushed cheek, pretending to be affectionate and said, "Look into my eyes, don't be shy, keep staring at me for more than ten seconds, and don't be embarrassed."

Yao Beina's eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings in the wind, but she still raised her eyes obediently and met Lin Lang's bottomless eyes.

1 seconds.

Yao Beina's flushed face was reflected in Lin Lang's pupils, as if he was being pulled into a warm sea.

She could clearly see a hint of nonchalant tenderness in Lin Lang's eyes, which made her heart skip a beat.

2 seconds.

Yao Beina's breathing gradually became disordered, and the masculine scent of Lin Lang lingered on her nose.

She wanted to look away embarrassedly, but was hooked by the light in Lin Lang's eyes, as if a vine was gently wrapped around her ankles.

3 seconds.

Lin Lang's eyelashes are very long, and when they droop, they cast a small shadow on his eyelids, and when he blinks, they cause a slight tremor like a breeze.

Yao Beina suddenly discovered that Lin Lang's eyes were not lakes filled with stars, but whirlpools wrapped in warmth, sucking her in little by little.

4 seconds.

Lin Lang's thumb gently stroked Yao Beina's waist, and a slight itch rushed into his heart, turning into a tiny electric current.

She realized belatedly that her fingers, which were clutching Lin Lang's shirt, had turned white and her palms were covered in sweat.

5 seconds.

The air seemed to freeze, and the ticking sound of the clock in the office was infinitely amplified, hitting the eardrums and overlapping with the heartbeat, turning into a drumbeat.

The smile in Lin Lang's eyes gradually faded, and there was a bit of seriousness in his eyes that Yao Beina couldn't understand. It was as if he was describing her appearance, engraving every stroke in his heart.

6 seconds.

Her throat felt a little tight, and Yao Beina wanted to swallow her saliva, but she found that she almost didn't have the strength to swallow.

He was too close, so close that he could clearly see his own panicked shadow in Lin Lang's pupils, like a fish trapped in a glass tank, clearly wanting to escape but still clinging to the warmth of the tank.

7 seconds.

Lin Lang suddenly tilted his head slightly, with a serious look in his eyes mixed with a hint of teasing, as if to say: Look, you can't run away.

Yao Beina's face became even hotter, but she inexplicably leaned her waist towards his arms, as if seeking a safer corner.

8 seconds.

Those inexplicable good feelings, like seeds blown by the spring breeze, took root and sprouted madly in these few seconds, crawled along the blood vessels to the heart, and entangled tightly.

She suddenly didn't want to look away and wanted to just look at Lin Lang until the end of time.

9 seconds.

Lin Lang's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his gaze slid from Yao Beina's eyes to her slightly open lips, and then fell back into her eyes, with a bit of burning warmth.

Yao Beina's heart was beating so fast that it was about to explode, her head was buzzing, and she had only one thought left: it turned out that Lin Lang's staring at her made her want to stand on tiptoe.

10 seconds.

Time seemed to have been paused.

Yao Beina looked at herself in Lin Lang's eyes and suddenly understood.

Those panic, those reluctances, and those impulses to get closer were not because of any first love experience class, but because she failed.

Falling in love with Lin Lang's smiling eyes, falling in his warm arms, falling in this short ten seconds of eye contact.

Ten seconds later, Yao Beina didn't say anything, but suddenly loosened her hands that were holding Lin Lang's shirt, raised her arms, hooked them around his neck, and shyly buried her face deeper into his neck.

Lin Lang chuckled softly, his voice filled with the joy of success. He tightened his arms and hugged Yao Beina tightly.

He lowered his head, rubbing the tip of his nose against Yao Beina's burning earlobe, his breath tickling like a feather: "Ten seconds are up, how do you feel, my classmate Nana?"

Yao Beina didn't look up, her voice muffled in his neck, a little soft like crying: "Brother Lang, you are a liar."

"Oh?" Lin Lang feigned innocence, his lips brushing Yao Beina's ear. "Then tell me, how did I lie to you?"

Yao Beina hugged Lin Lang shyly, and said in a soft and tender voice, "You stole my heart in ten seconds. Does that count as a scam?"

"Haha... Nana, you're really wronging me. How could I possibly be so capable as to steal your heart in just ten seconds?"

"Hmph, Brother Lang, don't think I don't know. You're trying to trick me. Psychology says that if two people of the opposite sex look at each other for more than ten seconds, they're more likely to fall in love with each other. You're just trying to trick me."

Lin Lang hugged Yao Beina's soft body and chuckled, "Since you think I'm trying to trick you, why are you hugging me back so tightly?"

Yao Beina shyly didn't answer, but just hugged Lin Lang tighter.

She suddenly felt that her heartbeat was not as chaotic as before. Instead, it felt like she was holding a little rabbit, gently bumping against her chest, soft and fluffy.

She sniffed, raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Lang's handsome face, her red lips slightly parted, her trembling lips slightly pouted, as if inviting her to learn how to have her first kiss.
