Thirsty Skin - Chapter 46
Chapter 46 – “Lin Wan, You Like Me.”
After coming out of Mr. Zhang’s office, Lin Wan returned to the Investment Department, where everyone was ordering coffee.
Lei Meng ran over and knocked on his door: “Boss Lin, Brother Chizhou is treating everyone to coffee. I’ll order you a latte!”
“No thanks,” Lin Wan put the notebook on the desk and said gently, “I don’t want to drink it.”
“Please give it a try, Mr. Lin. The latte there is really super delicious. You will definitely thank me after you try it!”
Lei Meng had a face that was very convincing no matter what she said. Lin Wan didn’t know how to refuse: “…Okay then.”
“Would you like it hot or cold?”
“I want it cold,” Lin Wan said, “More ice, thank you.”
Lei Meng smiled: “Okay!”
At this moment, Lin Wan suddenly discovered that Lei Meng and Zhu Chizhou looked a bit alike, especially when they smiled, the curve of their lips were very similar.
He used to hear old people say that if two strangers, a man and a woman, look alike, they are said to look like a couple and will have children soon and live happily together.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, Lei Meng was approaching Zhu Chizhou and reached out to touch the screen of Zhu Chizhou’s mobile phone. Zhu Chizhou held the phone and let her touch it.
Both young people are very good-looking. This picture reminds people of beautiful words such as talented man and beautiful girl, made in heaven, and childhood sweethearts.
If one considered their family backgrounds, they would agree that the two are a perfect match.
Lin Wan felt even worse.
Before, Zhou Yuang told him that Zhu Chizhou and Lei Meng were very close, but he didn’t take it seriously because he felt that Zhu Chizhou was the kind of person who could get along well with anyone.
Now he had some intuitive feelings. If Zhu Chizhou gets close to a girl of the same age, Lin Wan couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.
If Zhu Chizhou fell in love with someone else, those hugs and affections would belong to someone else, and he would no longer be able to eat the delicious dishes cooked by Zhu Chizhou. Of course, he would also be embarrassed to ask Zhu Chizhou to teach him how to swim.
He knew these thoughts were irrational, but he just couldn’t help it, and he kept thinking about them while typing on the keyboard.
When he thought that he would be very sad when Zhu Chizhou got married, but still had to give Zhu Chizhou a red envelope out of courtesy, a cup of coffee was quietly pushed in front of him.
The large wheat-colored hand with distinct joints came into Lin Wan’s sight.
【Just give him two hundred as a token of appreciation.】 Lin Wan thought. 【Let’s break the friendship!】
The person in front of him said with a smile: “Mr. Lin, your coffee.”
“Thank you,” Lin Wan took the coffee. The heat of the coffee warmed his palm through the cup sleeve. He frowned and said, “I wanted iced coffee.”
“You need to drink hot water to get better,” Zhu Chizhou said. “Adding ice will irritate your throat.”
Lin Wan stopped talking, and Zhu Chizhou smiled again: “Are you free now?”
Seeing Zhu Chizhou so happy, Lin Wan was unhappy and said with a straight face, “I’m not very free, what’s the matter?”
Zhu Chizhou rested his hands on the desk and said in a low voice with a smile: “No hug today.”
Lin Wan raised his eyes, and Zhu Chizhou’s brilliant smile fell into his eyes.
As they looked at each other, Lin Wan’s heart beat faster again.
“Shall we get in the car now?” Zhu Chizhou recalled in a low voice, “We made an appointment yesterday.”
Zhu Chizhou was reminding Lin Wan that this was on their to-do list.
Director Lin is a perfectionist and suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder. He will not change the items on his to-do list at will.
But at the same time, Lin Wan was also very strict. He said, “We also agreed to cancel the appointment if we are too busy.”
“Oh,” Zhu Chizhou used Lin Wan’s logic to defeat Lin Wan, “If you are too busy, then cancel the one at noon. It’s still morning now.” Lin Wan paused.
Indeed, they had not agreed to cancel the meeting in the morning under any circumstances, so the default was to be followed.
Zhu Chizhou smiled even more: “Then I’ll go down and wait for you.”
Lin Wan: “…Okay.”
The black Maybach was parked at the old location. Lin Wan went down to the basement floor and quickly found it.
The rear window opened a gap three fingers wide. The light in the garage was dim and he couldn’t see behind the glass, but Lin Wan knew that Zhu Chizhou was waiting for him inside.
【During working hours, in the company’s underground garage, in the back seat of a car.】
【It really seems like we’re having an affair..】
As he took a step closer, the feeling of committing adultery became stronger, and a sense of taboo arose.
Lin Wan opened the car door expressionlessly.
A chuckle was heard in the dim light, “Xiaowanzi.” The person inside called him.
Lin Wan closed the door and said coldly, “I told you not to call me that in the company…”
Suddenly being hugged by someone, he lost the courage to question, and his voice softened on the last word: “…I.”
Zhu Chizhou hugged him in his arms and said, “Being in the car is not the same as being in the company.”
The boy lowered his voice, with the vibration of his chest, “Why are you unhappy today, Xiaowanzi?”
Perhaps it was because the light was too dim, which made it seem ambiguous. Zhu Chizhou’s voice was even more charming than usual. Lin Wan couldn’t help but feel nervous. He gently rested his head on his strong shoulder and whispered, “I’m not unhappy.”
Zhu Chizhou complained: “Look at me, you don’t even think I’m handsome anymore.”
Lin Wan denied: “How could that be?”
“Your eyes told me, your eyes said I am ugly today.”
Lin Wan was amused by him and wanted to laugh, but he held it back and said coldly, “No, you are mistaken.”
Zhu Chizhou hugged him again, and he let his hands hang naturally at both sides of his body, unlike usual when he would hug Zhu Chizhou back.
Zhu Chizhou asked him: “Why don’t you touch me today? Are you worried about something?”
This time, Lin Wan couldn’t help laughing.
“That’s right,” Zhu Chizhou said, “you should smile more. If you’re not happy, I’m not happy either.”
【Liar, I see you are quite happy.】
Zhu Chizhou was extremely helpless. ‘Could you please stop thinking about it in your mind?’
‘How can I explain it if you don’t tell me?’
‘How can I coax you if you don’t make trouble with me?’
‘I want to hear a few more jealous words from you.’
But Lin Wan never mentioned Lei Meng’s matter, so Zhu Chizhou had to speak first.
“The new intern is pretty good.” Zhu Chizhou said.
Lin Wan said, “Nie Xiaolan said she’s good at her job, so let her go out with Nie Xiaolan tomorrow to do some due diligence to practice.”
“The Blueberry project?”
“Right.”
Zhu Chizhou deliberately said, “Isn’t it in the mountains? The conditions are quite poor. I wonder if the little girl can endure the hardship. She is quite spoiled.”
“Oh,” Lin Wan lowered his voice, “You know she’s spoiled?”
“Well, she looks quite delicate.”
Lin Wan was silent for a few seconds: “Then do you like those delicate girls?”
Zhu Chizhou suppressed his laughter: “I like them.”
The body in his arms stiffened for a moment, and Lin Wan was about to push Zhu Chizhou away, but Zhu Chizhou didn’t let go: “But I prefer boys who are not squeamish.”
“I also like boys who are afraid of water.”
Zhu Chizhou continued,
“A boy who can’t cook.”
“And there are boys who work very seriously and hard.”
“And boys older than me.”
Lin Wan: “…you like a lot of people.”
“Don’t play dumb,” Zhu Chizhou pinched the back of Lin Wan’s neck with his big hand, “You know what I’m talking about.”
Lin Wan gently put his arms around Zhu Chizhou’s waist and said, “I don’t know. I’m just stupid sometimes.”
“Then just ask me whatever you want to know.” Zhu Chizhou said.
The underground garage was very quiet, with not-so-bright white light coming in through the front and rear windshields, barely illuminating each other’s outlines. The air smelled of leather from car seats, and the two people’s breathing and heartbeats were clearly audible in the silence.
Occasionally, a car would pass by, and its headlights would illuminate the dim and quiet space for a moment, and their figures hugging each other would flicker with the light.
“It seems like we are having an affair.” Lin Wan suddenly said.
“This statement is inaccurate,” Zhu Chizhou pointed out. “The prerequisite for cheating is that one party is married or in a stable relationship. We do not meet this prerequisite.”
“Oh, what are we called?”
“It’s called a tryst.”
Lin Wan was amused again, “This sounds weird too.”
Zhu Chizhou couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Don’t you have anything else to ask, Xiaowanzi?”
Lin Wan wrapped his arms around Zhu Chizhou’s waist, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat. He closed his eyes and buried his face in the crook of Zhu Chizhou’s neck. He took a deep breath and said in a muffled voice, “I want to touch you.”
So Zhu Chizhou lifted up his shirt, grabbed his hand, and pressed his hand on his abdominal muscles: “You don’t need my permission if you want to touch me.”
“This body belongs to you,” Zhu Chizhou said, “You can use it however you want. Don’t be shy. You can use it however you want.”
Lin Wan touched his abdominal muscles and pressed his palms against them comfortably. Then he finally asked the question he wanted to ask the most today: “Will you still let others use your body?”
“It’s only for you.” Zhu Chizhou said.
“Would you ever fall in love?”
Zhu Chizhou whispered: “It depends on whether you want to talk to me.”
Lin Wan felt his ears getting hot. “Didn’t you say you like delicate girls?”
“I also said that I prefer boys who are not squeamish.”
“But you said you liked it.”
Zhu Chizhou knew that if he didn’t explain it clearly, he would be stuck. “I lied to you. I like Lei Meng because she is my cousin.”
【Eh?! ? ?】
“Her father is my father’s younger brother,” Zhu Chizhou said, “Didn’t you notice that we look alike?”
【Really?! I was sad for a while! ! !】
Lin Wan said calmly, “But her last name is Lei, and your last name is Zhu. How could your fathers be brothers?”
“I took my mother’s last name.”
Lin Wan: “…”
“Because my dad said my mother’s last name brings him good luck, he hoped I’d be lucky too.”
Lin Wan was still a little confused, “…I see.”
After a few seconds of silence, Lin Wan came back to his senses, “Wait, Mr. Lei from Tingzheng Group is yours…”
Zhu Chizhou confessed: “Lei Zhengting is my father.”
Lin Wan: “…”
Lin Wan: “!!!”
【I knew your family background was not ordinary, but I didn’t expect it to be so extraordinary…】
【If Mr. Lei knew that I was using his son’s body like this, he would kick me out of Gengyan Capital, right?】
The hand that was pressed against someone else’s chest muscle loosened silently, Lin Wan took his hand out, and even helped Zhu Chizhou pull the hem of his shirt and tuck it into his trouser waistband, “I feel like your dad would fire me if he knew about this.”
Zhu Chizhou: “Then the two of us will work together to seize the throne. I will support you as the new emperor and expel my father.”
Lin Wan laughed out loud: “Fool, there is no prince who supports a minister to be the new emperor.”
Zhu Chizhou held up Lin Wan’s face in the dark, and put his forehead against Lin Wan’s forehead. “Are you finally happy now, Xiaowanzi?”
The two of them touched noses, and Lin Wan felt Zhu Chizhou’s breath on his lips. He lowered his head and moved away, “I wasn’t unhappy in the first place.”
“Oh, weren’t you upset when you misunderstood that I liked Lei Meng?” Zhu Chizhou was good at exposing people’s shortcomings. “Then why are you hiding from me? You should add more ice to your latte. You never put ice in your coffee.”
Lin Wan was embarrassed by what he said and moved his head even lower: “I don’t know, don’t ask me about it.”
Zhu Chizhou lifted his face with his big hands and said, “You are jealous, Xiaowanzi.”
At this moment, a car parked opposite suddenly started up, and the strong light from the headlights illuminated the car through the windshield. Lin Wan’s eyelashes trembled, and he wanted to hide.
Zhu Chizhou didn’t let him hide. He held him with his big hands, leaned forward with his lips, and said shamelessly, “Lin Wan, you like me.”
