一起来读北美晋江小说The Love Hypothesis CHAPTER1(2)

Then that agonizingly（使人烦恼地）slow moment went by，and the kiss became . . . different. The man inhaled（吸气）sharply and inclined his head a tiny bit，making Olive feel less like a squirrel monkey climbing a baobab（猴面包树） tree，and his hands—which were large and pleasantly warm in the AC（空调 Air Conditioning）of the hallway—closed around her waist. They slid up a few inches，coming to wrap around Olive’s rib cage（胸腔）and holding her to himself. Not too close，and not too far.

Just so.
It was more of a prolonged（持续很久的）peck（啄）than anything，but it was quite nice，and for the life span of a few seconds Olive forgot a large number of things，including the fact that she was pressed against a random，unknown dude. That she’d barely had the time to whisper “Can I please kiss you?” before locking lips with him. That what had originally driven her to put on this entire show was the hope of fooling Anh，her best friend in the whole world.
