Thirsty Skin - Chapter 34

Chapter 34 – 【No Ice Water, But Zhu Chizhou】

The next day, the results of the investment decision meeting came out. The entire investment department was delighted that all three projects were successfully approved.

Zhu Chizhou knew the result in advance, so his happiness had worn off. He remained very calm and looked more mature and steady than those senior investment managers in their thirties and forties.

After getting off work that afternoon, everyone in the investment department went out to celebrate together.

The location was chosen by Zhou Yuang. They booked a large private room in a Chinese restaurant with a nice environment, which was big enough to accommodate more than twenty people.

The atmosphere at the table was very lively. After everyone took turns toasting each other a few times, some people had already fallen down.

In the second half, those who could still drink were unprecedentedly united and focused their firepower on their boss, Director Lin.

Others have been drunk and embarrassed to some extent in social gatherings, but Director Lin has never lost his composure at the wine table. He is the one with the most unfathomable alcohol tolerance in Gengyan Capital.

Every time there is such an internal gathering, everyone likes to toast Director Lin, just to see how much their boss can drink.

Three projects had just been approved, and everyone was in high spirits. Lin Wan was always generous to his own people, and he accepted everyone who came, and he didn’t know how many cups he drank that night.

Zhu Chizhou couldn’t help but worry about him when he saw him drinking so much. But the people who came to toast were not outsiders, so Zhu Chizhou naturally couldn’t help Lin Wan to drink. The key point was that Lin Wan himself seemed to want to drink.

At the end of the party, all the colleagues were drunk, but Lin Wan was the only one who remained as calm as a rock, with no change in expression.

Everyone was amazed at Lin’s huge capacity for talking, but Zhu Chizhou knew that Lin Wan had actually reached his limit and was only holding on by willpower.

Only Zhu Chizhou knows what Director Lin, who has no expression on his face, is thinking at this moment. He is calm and has no desires.

【I will hug Zhu Chizhou tightly in front of all of them!】

Zhu Chizhou sat next to him, feeling calm.

He had witnessed it the previous time. When Lin Wan is drunk, his inner thoughts are extremely rich and bold. He would pull your sleeve and act coquettishly in his heart, reveal a little emotion in his eyes, and may even be a little confused, but his inner thoughts are his inner thoughts, and he will never do anything out of the ordinary.

At this time, a colleague came over to toast Zhu Chizhou. Zhu Chizhou stood up calmly with the glass in his hand. Suddenly, a strong force hit his back, and at the same time, his waist was strangled by someone.

There was the temperature of another person on his back, and a smell of alcohol. He tilted his head to take a look, and saw that it was Lin Wan hugging him “hard” from behind!

This guy is really good at doing things, but once he does it, it’s earth-shattering. If Zhu Chizhou wasn’t tall and muscular, he would have been knocked to the ground by Lin Wan by now.

When others saw this, they started to make a fuss like crazy, and finally they got Director Lin drunk!

While everyone else was watching the fun, Zhu Chizhou was considering the seriousness of the matter. Was Lin Wan so drunk that his inner thoughts were manifested in his actions?

If Lin Wan did whatever he wanted tonight, they would probably have to live broadcast scenes that are not suitable for children!

He was thinking about the rationality of carrying Lin Wan and running away, when the person sticking to him suddenly raised his glass and toasted loudly with clear words.

The words he used were not fancy, nor were the terms he used sophisticated, but when had Director Lin ever spoken in such a loud voice? When had he ever toasted to others with a colleague in his arms?

Director Lin has always been the most aloof person in the bustle and the calmest person in the noise. Now that he is drunk, it seems that he has become a little more humane.

His actions now speak louder than his words.

Everyone raised their glasses in response, and the atmosphere at the party immediately reached its peak.

Zhu Chizhou was stunned for only a second, then he quickly steadied himself, smiled naturally, put his arm around Lin Wan’s waist, and said loudly: “Thank you, Mr. Lin! Cheers!”

Then he took the lead and drank it all in one gulp.

Lin Wan also drank the wine in the glass, his lips wet, and happily let go of Zhu Chizhou.

【Hahaha, I really like hugging you!】

Zhu Chizhou put his arm around the drunk man’s waist, settled him down on his chair, and kept him under his watch to prevent any trouble.

After the dinner, as one of the only few sober people, Zhu Chizhou took the initiative to take charge of the aftermath.

He called a designated driver for colleagues who drove, and arranged a car to go home for those who didn’t drive. After the final distribution was completed, Lin Wan and Zhou Yuang were left to ride in his car.

He also drank, and asked the family driver to drive. He let Zhou Yuang sit in the passenger seat, while he and Lin Wan sat in the back seat.

Lin Wan was quiet and didn’t say a word. Zhu Chizhou asked him to get in the car, so he got in. Zhu Chizhou asked him to fasten his seat belt, so he fastened his seat belt.

He is well-behaved but his IQ is offline. He tried to insert the seat belt buckle for a long time but couldn’t do it. He was angry with himself and pulled the seat belt so hard that it made a rattling sound.

Zhu Chizhou shouted in his heart, ‘My ancestor, be careful not to poke your hand!’ and leaned over to help him.

Lin Wan was not wearing a coat, only a white shirt with two buttons loosely undone at the collar. When Zhu Chizhou’s body was hovering over him, his thin white neck and delicate collarbone were less than three centimeters away from Zhu Chizhou.

Lin Wan took a deep breath and looked at Zhu Chizhou with wide eyes. The two people’s drunken breaths intertwined with each other for several seconds.

With a “click”, the seat belt was finally buckled. Zhu Chizhou moved back and Lin Wan immediately came over and sat next to him.

The party ended too late today, and it was past the time for Lin Wan to soak in ice water. From a while ago, Lin Wan’s breathing became very rapid, as if he couldn’t breathe, and his body was trembling slightly, which was a precursor to the onset of thirst syndrome.

Zhu Chizhou asked him softly: “Are you okay? Can you hold on until you get home?”

Lin Wan nodded and said calmly, “I’m fine.” But his hand touched Zhu Chizhou’s thigh in the dim car.

Zhou Yuang’s home and Lin Wan’s home are about the same distance from the restaurant. Considering that the leader was drunk, Zhou Yuang took the initiative to say to the driver: “Master, please go to Lijing Tianchen to send our leader first!”

Before Lin Wan could say anything, Zhu Chizhou said, “Let me take you there first!”

Zhou Yuang looked back at Lin Wan and said, “Let’s send Mr. Lin off first. He drank too much and will get dizzy if he sits in the car for too long.”

Lin Wan was originally looking ahead quietly, but when he heard this, he looked a little anxious, his back slightly lifted from the backrest of the chair, and said to Zhou Yuang, “I’m fine, let’s take you home first.”

The driver checked the map on the central control screen and decided, “Let’s go to Lijing Tianchen first. It’s more convenient. Turn right and go straight ahead and we’ll arrive.”

Zhou Yuang echoed: “Yes, if you send me first, you will have to go around in circles, so send Director Lin first!”

Lin Wan couldn’t find a reason to object, so he sighed and leaned back again, his hand still on Zhu Chizhou’s thigh, grabbing it intentionally or unintentionally. 【Unhappy.】

【I want to stay with Chizhou for a while longer.】

【I don’t want ice water today, I want Zhu Chizhou. 】

The light from the street lamps shone through the car window, and the interior of the car was sometimes bright and sometimes dim. Zhu Chizhou saw that Lin Wan’s profile was so beautiful and charming in the unstable light.

His eyes were half closed, and his eyelashes cast a thin shadow when the light came on. Under his high nose bridge, his usually cold and taciturn mouth was slightly open because of his rapid breathing, and his chest kept rising and falling with his breathing.

Maybe he was about to have a seizure. He was trying to control himself even when he was drunk.

Zhu Chizhou felt a pain in his heart when he saw Lin Wan torturing himself. He couldn’t help but grab Lin Wan’s hand on his thigh.

At this moment, Zhou Yuang suddenly turned around and wanted to talk to Zhu Chizhou. Zhu Chizhou reacted quickly and pulled out a cushion and put it on his legs to cover him.

In fact, it would have been better if he hadn’t done this. This attempt to cover up something was actually attracting Zhou Yuang’s attention: “What are you doing?”

Before Zhu Chizhou could finish his story, Lin Wan suddenly raised his hand to show Zhou Yuang, as if to show off: “Chizhou is holding my hand.”

Zhou Yuang was not clear-headed. He looked at Zhu Chizhou and asked, “Why did you hold his hand?”

Zhu Chizhou was about to have a heart attack. He glanced at the driver, grabbed the cushion tightly and said, “I’m afraid he will vomit in my car!”

Lin Wan gently shook Zhu Chizhou’s hand and said seriously, “No, I can hold it in.”

Seeing Lin Wan’s serious face, Zhu Chizhou thought that Lin Wan really wanted to vomit, and immediately softened his heart, “It’s okay, if you want to vomit, just vomit, don’t hold it in, I don’t mind, it’s okay if you vomit on me.”

Lin Wan looked at Zhu Chizhou and said with disdain, “You are so disgusting.”

Zhu Chizhou didn’t know how this sentence hit Zhou Yuang’s funny bone, but he burst into laughter and laughed so hard that he fell back and forth on the passenger seat.

Not long after, the driver pulled over and reminded them: “We’re at Lijing Tianchen.”

Lin Wan let go of Zhu Chizhou’s hand, lowered his head to unfasten his seat belt, and said to Zhu Chizhou, who was sitting on his right, “Don’t move. I’ll climb over you.”

This time even the driver couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He turned his head to look at Lin Wan and asked, “How much did your leader drink?”

Zhu Chizhou was going crazy. Others thought Lin Wan was just talking drunkenly, but he knew very well that this was what Lin Wan was thinking.

Lin Wan was already drunk enough to speak his mind!

Zhu Chizhou quickly pushed the door and got out of the car to make room for Lin Wan, otherwise Lin Wan would really climb over him in front of the two people in the front row.

Lin Wan was unhappy again, and muttered in disappointment, “How stingy!”

Zhu Chizhou: “…”

Zhou Yuang also got out of the car, ready to send Lin Wan back with Zhu Chizhou.

“Don’t come Yuang,” Lin Wan poked Zhu Chizhou’s chest with his finger as if flipping a card, “I want Chizhou to accompany me.”

Zhou Yuang also sneered: “Whoever is handsome, you want him, right?”

Lin Wan nodded vigorously: “Yes!”

“Okay, okay,” Zhou Yu’ang said, “Then Xiaozhu, you take the boss upstairs. I’ll wait for you in the car.”

Zhu Chizhou knew without even thinking that Lin Wan would say that he wanted him to sleep with him tonight. In order to stop Lin Wan from saying it, Zhu Chizhou immediately interrupted and said, “No need to wait for me. Go home first and ask the driver to pick me up later.”

When Lin Wan heard that Zhu Chizhou was about to leave, he refused to do it anymore. Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Chizhou yelled, “Lin Wan, shut up!”

Lin Wan was stunned by the yelling and shut up in grievance.

That roar was so powerful that Zhou Yuang was shocked: “Fuck! You kid, you took advantage of the boss to get revenge while he was drunk!”

Zhu Chizhou’s face was very red, but his tone was very cold: “He is too noisy.”

Fortunately, Zhou Yuang had drunk a little too much and didn’t notice that Zhu Chizhou’s face, neck and ears were all red.

“Oh,” Zhou Yu’ang glanced between the two of them, “Then don’t do anything to the boss, the boss is very delicate.”

“Of course I won’t,” Zhu Chizhou stole a glance at Lin Wan, his eyes were red, and he had to comfort him and drive Brother Ang away, “Brother Ang, get out of here!”

After Zhou Yuang got in the car and the black Maybach drove away, Zhu Chizhou said to Lin Wan, “Let’s go home.”

Lin Wan stood still and accused, “You are mean to me.”

Zhu Chizhou immediately admitted his mistake: “I’m sorry, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again.”

Lin Wan’s eyes were red: “You were still mean to me in front of Zhou Yuang.”

Zhu Chizhou:?

How can I be mean to you without being in front of Zhou Yuang?

“Come back and be aggressive with me,” Zhu Chizhou pointed at the gate of the community and said, “There are two security guards there. You can be aggressive with me in front of them.”

Lin Wan stretched out his hand to Zhu Chizhou and said, “I can’t bear to be mean to you.”

Zhu Chizhou held his hand and coaxed him softly, “What do you want me to do in order for you to forgive me?”

Lin Wan held Zhu Chizhou’s hand and said, “I can’t walk anymore. Please carry me back.”
