Sure, here is the translated text:
The young girl’s long eyelashes trembled delicately with each breath, appearing fragile.
Lin Yan bent down, shielding her from the overhead light, enveloping her completely in shadow. In the dimness, the man’s gaze was deep and calm. He pressed his lips together and slowly moved his gaze from Jiang Lai’s eyelashes to her nose, to her lips...
They were small, porcelain white, clean like a piece of chocolate, making him want to taste them to see if they were sweet.
So, Lin Yan lowered his head, one hand supporting the edge of the sofa above Jiang Lai’s head, the other slowly removing his glasses. He then gradually leaned closer, lightly touching Jiang Lai’s nose with his lips.
Cool, with a faint hint of sweetness.
Feeling unsatisfied, Lin Yan leaned down for another kiss, staying longer this time. The light was blocked behind him, and in the shadows, Jiang Lai’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
She sighed softly.
Lin Yan intended to kiss her lips, but Jiang Lai opened her eyes, locking gazes with him. There was no panic in the man’s eyes at being discovered, instead, they grew calmer and deeper. As if confirming something, he raised his hand, directly clasping the back of Jiang Lai’s head, pressing his thin lips against hers.
Without any hesitation, it was decisive and assertive.
His eyelashes brushed against Jiang Lai’s face, his breath a bit erratic. Lips touching but unsure of the next step, he just didn’t want to let go.
Jiang Lai looked at him, finally managing to create a sliver of space between them, her voice husky yet amused from having just awakened.
"You should close your eyes when kissing."
Lin Yan obediently closed his eyes, and the next second, Jiang Lai wrapped her arms around his neck, proactively moving closer.
In the quiet laboratory, only Lin Yan’s increasingly heavy and rapid breathing disrupted the usual precision and coldness. He wanted more and directly picked Jiang Lai up, striding towards the nearby rest room.
Realizing things were starting to get out of control, Jiang Lai tugged at his white coat and turned her face away, sounding a bit flustered.
"No, Lin Yan... You need to calm down."
Lin Yan followed Jiang Lai’s lead, learning some kissing skills, not just confined to one spot, his hot breath brushing her ear, her neck.
With one hand holding Jiang Lai and the other still managing to unlock the fingerprint lock, his operation didn’t stop despite what Jiang Lai was saying. His purpose was clear, to find a private place for their actions.
"Lin Yan!"
Jiang Lai bit him.
The pain brought Lin Yan back to rationality, under the light his eyes were tinged red at the corners, and red veins spread across his eyes from the fatigue of sleepless nights. His high nose bridge pressing against Jiang Lai’s neck, his thin lips itched to move.
"Jiang Lai, do you not want to?"
"I’m afraid you’ll suddenly die."
Having stayed up so many nights, Jiang Lai absolutely believed someone with Lin Yan’s fragile life force would definitely encounter problems.
The allure before her was overtaken by reason. Jiang Lai wiped her face, struggling to jump down, and then stopped him from closing the door.
"You need to rest now. At a critical moment, we can’t let romance distract you."
Lin Yan’s gaze clung to Jiang Lai like glue, stretching into strings.
Jiang Lai had to admit that the current Lin Yan, appearing as a poised yet dissolute scholar, was very tempting. But even if the child didn’t understand, she had to; it was time to sleep.
"Be good, go back and sleep."
"It’s fine."
The man pressed closer, his hand naturally sliding to her neck as he leaned down for another kiss. Jiang Lai covered her mouth.
"You don’t listen, do you?"
"You said you’d reward me once the serum research was completed."
"It’s finished?!"
Jiang Lai’s eyes brightened, her whole demeanor more spirited.
Lin Yan liked that her eyes lingered on him. Holding her, he casually spoke of the results that could change human history, as if saving humanity was not as appealing as Jiang Lai’s lips to him.
"Yes, reward me, right now."
"Reward... uh, that’s not how you get that reward. Let’s be civilized... Could you take your face off my neck?"
Lin Yan sighed.
"I’ve wanted to do this for a long time."
"..."
"You treat me as a substitute, why not think to use me properly? I believe I can learn everything your ex-boyfriend could, and I’m a good student. What I don’t know, you teach me, and I’ll definitely learn better than you."
Jiang Lai found it hard to reason with him.
This dog of a man, his mind now filled with suggestive waste, like a dog.
But since the serum research was completed, her task was ninety-nine percent done, rewarding him a little wasn’t a problem.
Jiang Lai was not particular about such matters. As long as he was good-looking, pleasing to the eye, and she liked him, then it was fine.
Faced with Lin Yan, this fair and gentle genius doctor, she wasn’t at any loss.
The rest room door remained locked all night, and early the next morning, the janitor vaguely heard intermittent sob-like sounds from inside, like cat meows, breaking off whenever she tried to listen closely.
Inside the rest room, Jiang Lai covered her mouth, waiting for the footsteps outside to leave. Lin Yan, dissatisfied, removed her hand.
"Shy?"
"..."
"It’s something everyone likes, no need to be shy. Be good, look at me."
"Can you scram?"
"Anything but that."
"..."
——
Jiang Lai slept until the next evening.
Jiang Chao had been looking for her for a long time, reaching the lab and seeing Lin Yan just emerging from the rest room. He asked him.
"Where’s Jiang Lai?"
Lin Yan nonchalantly fixed his collar and replied.
"Sleeping, don’t disturb her."
On hearing this, Jiang Chao exploded instantly, grabbing Lin Yan’s collar and asking through gritted teeth.
"What did you do to my sister?"
Lin Yan looked quietly at him, speaking slowly.
"So what? Who else but me deserves her in this world? Or do you want to keep her bound to you forever?"
This left Jiang Chao speechless.
He glared at Lin Yan, silent for a long time.
"You’re too weak. How can you protect her?"
"The serum research is complete. Creating a civilized world needs a smart mind, not brainless brute. Most importantly, Jiang Lai likes me, and that’s something you can’t change."
"..."
Jiang Chao was completely out of words.
He really didn’t like Lin Yan, but couldn’t control Jiang Lai’s obsession with him either.
Thinking this way, perhaps it was indeed time to let go.
Lin Yan looked at him, contemplating their future relationship. He lifted a hand as if to pat his shoulder in goodwill but pulled back quietly just before touching him.
"We can get along well in the future."
Jiang Chao looked coldly at Lin Yan, caught in every little detail of his neat freak tendencies, brusquely responding.
"Jiang Lai used to at home, accumulate socks for a week before washing them, not wash her hair or face if she didn’t go out, and loved rolling on the grass."
