Thirsty Skin - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 -【Yeah, He is Really Handsome】

Zhou Yuang laughed and held Zhu Chizhou’s hand in a frivolous way: “I don’t have this hobby, but if you really want me to touch you, I can do that.”

Zhu Chizhou grabbed him and asked, “You don’t have that impulse?”

Zhou Yuang almost died of laughter: “If I had it, would I have waited until today?”

Zhu Chizhou let him go: “Hey, that makes sense.”

They often put their arms around each other’s shoulders, and if Zhou Yuang wanted to touch him, he would have done so long ago.

“What happened?” Zhou Yuang asked, “Were you sexually harassed by a gay guy?”

“Oh my god!” Zhu Chizhou was shocked as if his tail had been stepped on, “No! Don’t talk nonsense!”

Zhou Yuang leaned closer and said, “Hey, did you know that Xiao Zhao from the HR department is gay? I met him and his boyfriend shopping in the mall.”

“I don’t know,” Zhu Chizhou said with a serious face, “I’m not interested in these gossips.”

Zhou Yuang went back to work. Two minutes later, Zhu Chizhou slid his chair next to his workstation and quietly asked him, “Do you know who else is gay in our company?”

Zhou Yuang said: “I don’t know. No one has come out yet.”

Zhu Chizhou slid back and sat there thinking. After thinking for a while, he pretended to look towards the director’s office naturally.

Lin Wan was looking at the computer screen, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was concentrating on his work.

His thoughts were so clear and his thinking was really smooth. He could even think about two things at the same time. He was worthy of being a director at such a young age.

Suddenly, Lin Wan glanced at him, and their eyes met lightly in an inadvertent place across the glass and the workstation partition.

Zhu Chizhou lowered his head as if he had been electrocuted, his heart pounding, as if he had been caught peeking.

The next day when he went to work, Zhu Chizhou did not wear a shirt and trousers. Instead, he changed into an olive-green long trench coat, wrapping his upper body tightly.

As soon as he arrived at the company in the morning, he was caught by Nie Xiaolan.

Nie Xiaolan looked him up and down several times and commented: “Only you can wear this style of windbreaker. Your long legs and head-to-shoulder ratio are amazing!”

Lin Wan happened to pass by and heard them talking. He also looked at Zhu Chizhou and said to himself, 【Yeah, he is really handsome.】

Zhu Chizhou: …

‘Today’s outfit doesn’t show my breasts, Director!!!’

Lin Wan probably hadn’t been avoiding him in the past two days. It was probably because there were too many things to do and he couldn’t hide away every day.

Zhu Chizhou himself also had a lot of things to do, and Lin Wan would sometimes assign him some tasks on short notice, leaving him little time to think about other things.

Although he was forced to come here to work, Zhu Chizhou has the kind of personality where if he is responsible for something, he will never be perfunctory about it.

When he was getting off work in the afternoon, Dong Chao from the Risk Control Department sent a message saying that a document was missing a signature and it was urgent and needed to be taken back immediately for signature.

Zhu Chizhou got up and went to the Risk Control Department on the 28th floor to get it. Because he forgot to tell Lin Wan in advance, he was afraid that Lin Wan would leave and there would be no time to wait for the elevator, so he ran up and down the stairs.

When he came back, Lin Wan was packing up. Zhu Chizhou pushed open the door of Lin Wan’s office, panting.

Lin Wan stopped what he was doing and looked up at him: “What’s wrong?”

Lin Wan’s voice was a little hoarse, but Zhu Chizhou didn’t notice this detail. He walked straight to Lin Wan, bent down and spread out the materials on the table, pointed to the place and said, “This document is missing a signature.”

The moment he approached, Lin Wan’s whole body stiffened. He pressed his fist against the tip of his nose unnaturally and looked down at the paper.

Zhu Chizhou’s windbreaker was open, and the crisp and neat fabric pressed against Lin Wan’s shoulders. Lin Wan frowned, and a blush slowly crept up his cheeks.

Zhu Chizhou hadn’t caught his breath yet, so he naturally didn’t notice the abnormal change in Lin Wan’s expression. He only thought that the Risk Control Department was in a hurry. So he hunched his back and used his big hands to help Lin Wan hold down the materials that were as thick as a dictionary, waiting for Lin Wan to take the pen to sign.

Lin Wan held the pen and quickly browsed the documents, but he couldn’t help but be distracted.

The accident at the swimming pool that night was like opening a Pandora’s box.

He was afraid that if he saw Zhu Chizhou, he would not be able to control the morbid desire caused by the disease, so he hid from Zhu Chizhou for a while.

Medication didn’t work, and meditation was slow to work, so he had to soak in ice water twice a day to relieve his symptoms.

An ice bath could make him feel numb, dull, and less sensitive.

He was slowly recovering, but this person suddenly came over so warmly.

He had restrained himself for too long, and now he couldn’t concentrate on thinking because of the boy’s body temperature and pleasant smell.

Lin Wan forced herself to calm down, picked up the pen and signed his name on the paper.

【Hey, he’s so warm, I really want to cuddle with him.】

After signing and capping the pen, the grown boy suddenly became very nervous for some reason. His face turned red, and he ran away with the documents, slamming the door.

Zhu Chizhou sprinted a hundred meters back to the 28th floor, handed the completed document to Dong Chao, and leaned on the edge of the table, catching his breath.

Dong Chao: “What’s wrong with you? Is someone chasing you? You’re panting like a dog.”

Zhu Chizhou ran too fast and now he can’t speak.

Dong Chao handed him a bottle of soda water and said, “Drink some water and relax.”

Zhu Chizhou tilted his head back and gulped down half the bottle before he finally calmed down.

“Okay, just give it to me.” Dong Chao took the materials and was busy sorting out the things he would need for the meeting. He had a large pile of materials. Seeing that Zhu Chizhou hadn’t left yet, he asked him, “Aren’t you leaving? Or, do you want to sit in on our meeting?”

“No, no.” Zhu Chizhou came back to his senses, “I’m off work, you guys work hard.”

He slowly moved to the elevator entrance. He was absent-minded, uneasy, and his heart was beating like a drum, so when he pressed the floor button, he accidentally pressed the 17th floor instead of the 27th.

He took the elevator to the 17th floor, waited for the elevator door to open, walked out, changed the elevator, got in again, and then took the elevator back to the 27th floor.

When he came back, Lin Wan had already left. Zhu Chizhou breathed a sigh of relief and sat in front of his workstation in a daze.

‘Lin Wan, what does this mean?’

First there is “It’s so comfortable to hug him”, then there is “I really want to cuddle with him”…

So, after Lin Wan hugged him once, he became addicted to him and couldn’t stop?

He covered his head with both hands, inserted his fingers into his hair, and propped his elbows on the table. He listened to the thumping of his own heartbeat, and his whole body was in a mess.

At 11:30 in the evening, only a dim night light was on in the room, illuminating a small area at the head of the bed, with soft shadows all around.

Aunt Fan took the quilt out to dry in the sun during the day, and it smelled like sunshine.

Zhu Chizhou sat on the bed with the quilt pulled over his chest, holding his cell phone with a serious expression.

Type in the search box: 【My boss seems to want to take advantage of me, what should I do?】

Result 1: 【Collect evidence and report him to death!】

It’s not that serious, not to mention that Lin Wan was just thinking about it in his mind. So, collecting some evidence was impossible.
Result 2: 【Tell him that you already have a partner, and that your partner is tall and strong, so that he will give up.】

That won’t work. Mr. Zhang will easily find out about this lie. If Mr. Zhang knows, his father will know too. How could he find a tall and strong man to report to his father?

Result 3: 【Make your attitude clear and don’t tolerate him. If he crosses the line, you must give him a serious warning and make your bottom line clear.】

This is where the problem lies. Not only did Lin Wan not cross the line in any way towards him, he even took the initiative to avoid him some time ago.

He had an argument with Lin Wan that day and said some harsh words, but Lin Wan did not blame him. On the contrary, he was quite patient with him.

Result 4 is an article posted by a marketing account. The title attracted Zhu Chizhou’s attention: 【Everyone Should Be Wary Of This Unspoken Rule In The Workplace! There is a kind of unspoken rule that is extremely hidden, which makes subordinates relax their vigilance and thus act cautiously.】

【He will hint at you ambiguously, but will not harass you directly with words; he will create opportunities to be alone with you, but will not take action quickly; he will pretend to be uninterested in you, but he has already set a trap for you to fall into!【

Buzz! A WeChat message came in on his phone.

The sender is 【Chibi Maruko】.

Message content: 【 We’re going to Chengdu on a business trip tomorrow. I bought a ticket for 9:45 in the morning, for the two of us.】

‘Create opportunities to be alone together, and here it comes!’

Zhu Chizhou’s heart beat faster, his breathing became rapid, his adrenaline surged, and his trembling fingers typed two words on the screen: 【Received.】

Because he had to catch a flight, he got up earlier than usual in the morning. Lei Zhengting and Zhu Ling also got up and waited for him to have breakfast together.

Lei Zhengting started to scold him when he saw him: “Aren’t you going on a business trip today? Why are you getting up now?”

Zhu Chizhou looked at the time. It was not yet half past seven. He rolled his eyes at his father.

After taking a sip of milk, he suddenly raised his head and asked, “How did you know I was going on a business trip?”

Lei Zhengting: “I asked Mr. Zhang to say hello to Lin Wan. You will accompany him throughout this project.”

‘Damn!’

‘Dad, do you know what kind of fire pit you have pushed me into!’
