Thirsty Skin - Chapter 45

Chapter 45 – 【No Hug Today!】

During the days when Lin Wan was ill, Zhu Chizhou would come to his house on time every morning, noon and evening to hug him.

If there is enough time, Zhu Chizhou will cook some food. If time is tight, he will buy food from outside. In short, he never lets Lin Wan be perfunctory about every meal.

Zhu Chizhou promised Lin Wan that he would keep the food away and not let anything go bad or rot at home. Lin Wan completely trusted Zhu Chizhou and let him do what he wanted.

The empty kitchen was gradually filled with the things Zhu Chizhou bought, and some fruits and fresh vegetables were gradually put into the refrigerator. The Tomb-style home finally became homely.

Lin Wan noticed that the spare pair of slippers was a little short for Zhu Chizhou, so he bought a new pair and placed them next to the shoe cabinet at the door.

He also bought a new set of home clothes, which was of the same brand and style as his own and also in Zhu Chizhou’s size.

On Friday, Lin Wan recovered from his illness and returned to work after his leave.

A few days ago, the HR director sent him a resume, saying that there would be a new intern in the investment department.

The girl is a junior in college and her name is Lei Meng.

The surname was Lei, and Lin Wan’s first reaction was that this girl might be related to the Tingzheng Group. But such things were generally not public in the company, and he was too lazy to inquire.

Lin Wan was still on sick leave on the day Lei Meng reported for work, so he sent a message to Nie Xiaolan, asking her to take care of the newcomer.

Lin Wan only saw the girl when he came to work today.

He heard that Lei Meng had a cheerful personality and had become close friends with Nie Xiaolan, Zhou Yuang and others in just three days. Zhou Yuang also told him that the little girl was particularly close to Zhu Chizhou. One day, Zhou Yuang saw Lei Meng getting into Zhu Chizhou’s car after getting off work.

The workstation opposite Zhu Chizhou had been vacant, and now that position had been occupied by Lei Meng.

Lin Wan was carrying his bag as he walked towards the office. When she passed Lei Meng’s workstation, the girl stood up suddenly, smiled with her white teeth, and greeted Lin Wan with full energy: “Hello, Mr. Lin! I’m the new intern, Lei Meng!”

“Okay.” Lin Wan nodded calmly.

【So young, as beautiful as in the photo.】

Zhu Chizhou also greeted him: “Good morning, Mr. Lin.”

Lin Wan’s eyes shifted to Zhu Chizhou and she smiled very lightly: “Morning.”

【No hugs today!】

Zhu Chizhou smiled and said, “I’ll come to you later.” Then he raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

Lin Wan said “hmm” and silently looked away.

【Help!!!】

【This feels like having an affair!】

Last night, when the two of them were hugging each other, they discussed that in order to save time, Zhu Chizhou would change the place where he helped Lin Wan with “relief treatment” on weekdays to the car. This way, Zhu Chizhou would not have to go all the way to Lin Wan’s house before going to work.

If they have enough time at noon, they will go back to Lin Wan’s house together. If they are too busy, the noon “treatment” will be cancelled, but the hugs and caressing every night will definitely be there regardless of the weather.

If you work overtime or socialize too late, sleep together. This rule was added by Zhu Chizhou because he is a little afraid of the dark when he goes home alone too late.

They hugged each other for a long time last night and watched the entire movie “Dune” together on the sofa.

And he wasn’t wearing a top, which was Lin Wan’s favorite type, with flesh touching flesh without any obstacles.

Lin Wan was in very good physical condition this morning and showed no signs of illness, but he still wanted to hug Zhu Chizhou for a while.

After greeting his colleagues along the way, Lin Wan pushed the door and entered his office.

Lei Meng sat up straight at his workstation, looked over the partition at Zhu Chizhou, and made a “hissing” sound with his mouth.

Zhu Chizhou looked at her: “?”

Lei Meng cupped her hands around her mouth to make a small trumpet and whispered excitedly, “Director Lin is so handsome in person!”

Zhu Chizhou: “…” Isn’t this nonsense?

Zhu Chizhou’s eyes fell back on the computer screen and he said coldly, “Of course.”

‘That’s your future sister-in-law!’

After a pause, he looked back in confusion: “The real one is so handsome? Have you ever seen a fake one?”

Lei Meng was excited: “I’ve seen his speech video!”

She was talking about an award ceremony last year, where Lin Wan won the Most Influential Investor of the Year award for his unicorn project, and the business channel broadcast his acceptance speech live.

Because he was so handsome, that part of his speech was cut out and posted on various video sites. It became a minor hit on the Internet at the time, and some people even created a super topic for Lin Wan on the social platform.

However, later on, because Lin Wan was too low-key and rarely appeared in public, no new photos and videos were circulated, and he himself did not operate on social networking media at all, his popularity gradually declined.

But even so, it has accumulated a small group of loyal fans, and Lei Meng is one of them.

The girl propped her chin up with both hands and peeked at Director Lin. She was happy for a while, then suddenly stood up, ran around the desk to Zhu Chizhou’s workstation, bent down and whispered in Zhu Chizhou’s ear: “Director Lin doesn’t have a girlfriend, right?”

Zhu Chizhou paused typing on the keyboard and looked at his younger sister: “What are you going to do?”

Lei Meng acted shy and said, “Help me chase him.”

Zhu Chizhou: “?”

‘Am I sick? Why would I help you chase my wife???’

Zhu Chizhou wanted to laugh, but then he remembered that he hadn’t caught up with the girl yet, and he couldn’t laugh anymore.

“Give up,” Zhu Chizhou ruthlessly extinguished the girl’s spring thoughts, “He already has someone he likes.”

“You’re lying. You just don’t want to help me,” Lei Meng muttered. “Brother Ang and the others said that Mr. Lin is not an ordinary human being and will not be tempted by mortals.”

“Of course,” Zhu Chizhou said seriously, “How could the person he likes be a mortal? That person must be a celestial being.”

“Oh, do you know who he likes?”

Zhu Chizhou leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and said mysteriously, “I know.”

Lei Meng came closer: “Who is it?”

Zhu Chizhou said profoundly: “It’s someone from the company.”

“Wow!” This is a shocking piece of news. Lei Meng shook Zhu Chizhou’s arm vigorously: “Who is it? Tell me quickly!”

Zhu Chizhou hooked his finger at her, motioning her to put her ear closer, then covered it with his hand and whispered, “Don’t tell anyone else.”

Lei Meng opened his gossipy eyes wide and nodded rapidly.

Zhu Chizhou slowly revealed the answer in a breathy voice: “It’s me.”

Lei Meng stood up straight suddenly, his face full of displeasure at being teased, and punched Zhu Chizhou hard, “Get lost!”

Zhu Chizhou smiled very happily: “Really! I’m not lying to you!”

Lei Meng returned to her workstation and rolled her eyes at Zhu Chizhou.

Although Zhu Chizhou had no idea how true this was, he felt inexplicably happy when he said it. He laughed foolishly for a long time, and when he had laughed enough, he looked back at the director’s office and accidentally met Lin Wan’s eyes.

【Oh, so happy.】

Lin Wan looked at him expressionlessly.

【His smile is so ugly today.】

Zhu Chizhou: “???”

Two minutes later, Lin Wan received a message from Zhu Chizhou: Xiaowanzi, I’ll wait for you in the car?

Lin Wan felt a little annoyed for some reason and replied: I’m busy.

Zhu Chizhou: Then should I come to your office?

Lin Wan looked outside. The floor-to-ceiling glass was wiped spotless by the cleaning staff. Zhu Chizhou was sitting under the bright light, looking at him with a burning gaze.

Lin Wan’s heart seemed to be shaken by the bright light, and he felt sore, swollen, dizzy and a little breathless.

Some inexplicable emotions were lingering in his heart. Lin Wan was very unfamiliar with this feeling and he instinctively wanted to escape.

Lin Wan replied to Zhu Chizhou: No, I have to go to Mr. Zhang’s place right away.

The work report was not so urgent and he could go in the afternoon, but after sending the message, Lin Wan immediately turned off the screen of his mobile phone, picked up his notebook and walked out.

When he reached the office door, he saw Lei Meng lying on the partition of his workstation, saying to Zhu Chizhou: “Brother Chizhou, help me get breakfast from KFC.”

Zhu Chizhou didn’t even look at her: “Go by yourself.”

Lei Meng tapped Zhu Chizhou’s computer monitor with a gel pen: “My high heels are rubbing my feet and it hurts. Please help me get it.”

Zhu Chizhou glanced at her indifferently and said, “Why order if you couldn’t go get it?”

Lei Meng said: “When I placed the order, the shoes were not rubbing my feet yet, but they just rubbed them.”

Zhu Chizhou ignored her.

The girl then acted coquettishly: “Brother Chizhou~~Please, please~~”

Zhu Chizhou sighed: “Send me the pick-up code.”

As Lin Wan walked past quickly, Zhu Chizhou’s phone just rang with a new message alert.

Lin Wan sneered in his heart.

【Haha, Brother Chizhou.】

Lin Wan caught a glimpse of the boy standing up from his seat. He quickened his pace to the elevator entrance and pressed the up button three times, as if this would make the elevator go faster.

The rising elevator deliberately went against him, stopping at every floor. The elevator door didn’t open until Zhu Chizhou walked beside him.

Lin Wan looked straight ahead, pretending not to see Zhu Chizhou.

“Mr. Lin.” Zhu Chizhou called him.

Lin Wan said “hmm” with a straight face and continued looking ahead, with no intention of talking to Zhu Chizhou.

The elevator door opened, Lin Wan stepped in, and Zhu Chizhou followed in.

Lin Wan said coldly, “I’ll go up.”

Zhu Chizhou suppressed his laughter: “I’m going up too.”

“Aren’t you going to…” He stopped talking halfway, pursed his lips,

【I don’t care where you go.】

The elevator mirror reflected two figures.

The thin man stood straight, looking straight ahead, with an aloof look on his face, as if to say, “Don’t talk to me, I don’t want to pay attention to you.”

【We’ve only known each other for a few days, and we’re already whispering to each other.】

【Brother Chizhou is long, Brother Chizhou is short.】

【Are you so nice to everyone? You even help people get breakfast.】

【Although it was the girl who asked for it, why didn’t she go to Zhou Yuang and act like a spoiled child?】

【You are not serious at all!】

【The turn has become so sloppy, I guess he can go back straight at any time.】

The tall one stared at the short one and smiled in an indecent way.

It only took ten seconds to get from the 27th floor to the 29th floor. Soon the elevator door opened and Lin Wan walked out, not even glancing at Zhu Chizhou.

But Zhu Chizhou was almost so happy that he almost went crazy. He found that Lin Wan seemed to be jealous of him!
