Thirsty Skin - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 – First Kiss

Feeling the other person’s breath getting closer, Lin Wan opened his eyes wide in the darkness, and his fingers unconsciously clenched Zhu Chizhou’s clothes.

【Ahhhhhh! He wants to kiss me!!】

The moment their lips met—

【Ahhhhhh, we kissed!!】

The person in front of him suddenly laughed, “You…”

“Beep!!! Beep!!!!”

Two shrill car horns interrupted Zhu Chizhou’s words. He looked in the direction of the sound towards the car with its lights on in the opposite direction, and the car flashed its high beams at him twice.

Zhu Chizhou: “…”

“It’s Brother Ang.” He pushed Lin Wan to hide behind the driver’s seat and stuffed the car keys into Lin Wan’s hand: “Come out later, I’ll lead him away first.”

Lead him away…?

Lin Wan: “…”

【And you still say it’s not an affair!】

The boy pushed the door, got out, closed it, and then got into Zhou Yuang’s car.

Two minutes later, the engine roared, and Lin Wan saw Zhou Yuang’s car driving away.

Two new messages came in on the phone.

Zhu Chizhou: {I tested him. Brother Ang didn’t see you.}

Zhu Chizhou: {I went to Ri’an Xinke with him. If you have nothing to do after getting off work, you can go home first. I will buy groceries and come back.}

Lin Wan took a deep breath and gradually relaxed his clenched fists.

Just now Zhu Chizhou wanted to kiss him, and he didn’t dodge…

Not only did he not hide, he was also looking forward to it…

The seat still had Zhu Chizhou’s body temperature, and the air still had Zhu Chizhou’s residual fragrance. Lin Wan’s heart was pounding, and he knew very well that wanting to kiss Zhu Chizhou was not a symptom of his skin thirst.

Finally, Lin Wan went to buy vegetables after getting off work. Zhu Chizhou stayed at Ri’an Xinke until 6:30 and got home at 7:00.

The light was on in the kitchen, dusk was falling outside the window, and colorful neon lights were flashing on the tall buildings in the distance.

Zhu Chizhou is going to make mushroom chicken today. Lin Wan is washing the mushrooms one by one in the sink. Zhu Chizhou is preparing the chicken thighs while talking to him, “Li Yanli and I have discussed with the two materials science laboratories in the United States. They have some technical details that are not convenient to be disclosed, so they invited us to have a face-to-face meeting.”

“Oh,” Lin Wan soaked his hands in the water and picked up the mushrooms that he had washed twice, “When are you going?”

Zhu Chizhou stopped cutting meat and looked at Lin Wan: “Do you have time in recent days to go with me?”

“I don’t have time,” Lin Wan turned off the water and looked at him for a few seconds, “The artificial intelligence company needs to prepare for listing, and I still have a lot of things to do.”

Zhu Chizhou continued to cut meat with his head down. “Then I don’t want to go either. If I go, I won’t be able to hold you for two weeks.”

Although he knew that the other party was talking about a hug to help him relieve his thirsty skin syndrome, this sounded like a grown man acting like a spoiled child. Lin Wan couldn’t help but feel a little hot in his ears, and whispered, “You go, I’ll be fine. I’ve been handling this alone for so long before.”

Zhu Chizhou put the cut meat into a bowl, added seasoning to marinate it, and said, “You didn’t have me before.”

【Help! He speaks these corny words so naturally.】

【Are you used to coaxing people? ? 】

Lin Wan’s voice became even lower: “These are two different things. You are also doing this for work.”

“Actually it’s not all about work, there are two personal matters as well.”

After putting the seasonings in place, Zhu Chizhou mixed them with his hands. The diced chicken and sticky liquid made a “gurgling” sound between his fingers.

“The first thing is that Yan Lu will graduate with a master’s degree soon, and he invited me to his graduation ceremony. The second thing is that the neurodermatology center of Yan Lu’s school has the world’s most advanced dermatitis research laboratory,” Zhu Chizhou’s eyes fell softly, “I mainly want to take you to see it.”

Lin Wan held his breath slightly. Although Zhu Chizhou said it so casually, he still understood it. He had told Zhu Chizhou about his illness only a few days ago, and Zhu Chizhou had already found the best research institution for him.

This kind of intention really touched Lin Wan’s soft spot.

“This disease cannot be cured. I have studied about it before.”

“I know,” Zhu Chizhou lowered his eyes and looked away, “but I think I’ll cure as many as I can.”

After mixing the chicken, the boy moved to the sink to wash his hands and stood side by side with Lin Wan.

The sound of water splashed again, and the white water stream splashed on the back of Zhu Chizhou’s wheat-colored hand. His ten fingers rubbed against each other, but the oily layer on his skin was difficult to wash off.

Lin Wan squeezed a little dishwashing liquid into his palm, took Zhu Chizhou’s hand and applied the soap on it.

The slender white fingers and the rough wheat-colored fingers overlapped and intertwined, and the liquid was slippery between their fingers.

The boy’s body temperature was slightly higher than Lin Wan’s, and every knuckle that he touched felt warm and sticky.

This dishwashing liquid was applied for a long time, so long that Lin Wan’s two hands were held in Zhu Chizhou’s palms, and they turned slightly red from being rubbed.

【Why did my hands turn so red after washing them……】

Lin Wan couldn’t stand it anymore and nudged Zhu Chizhou with his elbow. “That’s enough. Go and rinse it off.”

Zhu Chizhou obediently took Lin Wan’s hand and put it under the water column to wash.

The light from the ceiling was bright, illuminating the red ears of both people.

While waiting for the chicken to marinate, Zhu Chizhou cut the mushrooms and side dishes and fried them in the pan until they were fragrant. Lin Wan stood by and watched.

【Amazing.】

【If you are handsome, you will look good in everything. 】

Zhu Chizhou raised the corner of his mouth, “Lin Wan, if I go on a business trip, will you eat well?”

“Yes.”

“Order takeout?”

“Let’s go out and eat.”

Zhu Chizhou smiled and said, “See, I am worried about every aspect.”

Lin Wan was unhappy. “I am at least six or seven years older than you. Don’t make it sound like I can’t take care of myself, okay?”

“Can you take care of yourself?” Zhu Chizhou poured the marinated chicken into the pot and stir-fried it. He also took the time to look at Lin Wan. “A person who falls asleep while soaking in ice water while being sick is not convincing at all.”

Lin Wan said “Oh”, unable to find any words to refute, feeling annoyed for a moment.

A fragrant aroma came out of the pot. With a “sizzling” sound, Zhu Chizhou poured a small bowl of water into it, covered the pot and simmered on low heat.

Lin Wan stood by, waiting obediently for the food to come out of the pot. 【It smells so good.】

【I’m hungry.】

Every time he looked like this, Zhu Chizhou wanted to pinch his face, so he did.

Lin Wan was attracted by the food and failed to dodge in time, so his face was pinched and turned red. He rubbed it with his hand: “What are you doing?”

Zhu Chizhou said: “If you are hungry, drink a bowl of soup first.”

Lin Wan retracted his gaze: “I’m not hungry.”

“Are you really not hungry?”

“I’m really not hungry.”

Zhu Chizhou suddenly asked: “Was that your first kiss this morning?”

Lin Wan’s breathing suddenly stopped.

【Why are you asking this all of a sudden? It’s a foul!】

A shadow fell on his side. The tall boy came over, put an arm around his waist, and whispered in his ear: “That was my first kiss.”

【It’s mine too!!!】

Lin Wan said calmly, “Oh,” “No wonder you laughed.”

Zhu Chizhou laughed again: “What about you? Is this your first kiss?”

Being ridiculed by Chizhou one after another, Lin Wan felt extremely unbalanced and deliberately said, “Who has a first kiss in their twenties?”

The arms around his waist tightened, “Really? You’ve been kissed before?”

Lin Wan stopped talking, his heart beating so fast he couldn’t tell.

Zhu Chizhou put one arm around his waist and supported his other hand on the edge of the sink, as if trapping him between his body and the sink.

They were facing the window. The night painted the glass a dark blue background. Two people, one tall and one short, were reflected on the bright and clean mirror, with their shadows overlapping.

Lin Wan looked at the window glass, and could clearly feel Zhu Chizhou’s powerful body on his back. His face gradually turned red.

【This posture… is like being pressed down.】

The man behind him was shameless and asked, “So are you a good kisser?”

Lin Wan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at the window glass again, and pretended to be experienced: “I’m OK, good at it.”

The heart behind him was pounding against his back, and the breathing above his head was getting heavier. Lin Wan inexplicably felt the danger and wanted to escape in shame and anger… but he couldn’t!

Zhu Chizhou pressed down a little more, and his voice fell on the side of his face: “Mr. Lin, please teach me, I don’t know how to kiss.”

“I…” Lin Wan was about to bury his face in his chest. His heart was beating unnaturally fast. He made an excuse to catch his breath, “The stove hasn’t been turned off yet!”

He tightened his arms around him and put his other hand around him, “There are still eight minutes left. It should be enough for kissing.”

Just as Lin Wan had time to take a breath, his lips were sealed.

Zhu Chizhou held his face with his big hands, forcing him to raise his neck to meet this reckless kiss.

The teeth naturally opened because of tilting the head back, and the tongue hiding behind the teeth was entangled.

The pot was bubbling and the aroma filled the small kitchen space.

The two people on the window glass changed their positions and hugged each other face to face. The shorter one put his wrist on the taller one’s shoulder, and the taller one pressed the shorter one against the edge of the sink, almost pinning him down.

Zhu Chizhou didn’t know any skills, was green and reckless, and acted entirely on instinct.

Their lips and tongues intertwined, making the same noise as when they were washing their hands.

Feeling like he was suffocating, Lin Wan turned his head away to avoid it, but the large hand that was holding the back of his head pulled him back. He opened his mouth to breathe, and the opponent became even more ferocious.

The edge of the kitchen table hurt his lower back a little, and the two people’s heartbeats were in disorder in his chest. Lin Wan was kissed unconscious and just closed his eyes to let Zhu Chizhou take over.

When they separated, Lin Wan felt weak all over and leaned on Zhu Chizhou’s shoulder, unable to breathe for a long time.

The boy lifted his face again, stroked the liquid from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and asked him: “Did I kiss you well?”

Lin Wan panted and didn’t answer.

The boy asked again: “Compared to the kisses you’ve had before, was my performance good?”

Lin Wan grabbed Zhu Chizhou’s clothes, looked up, and his slightly narrowed eyes were filled with tears, which sparkled like stars under the light.

Zhu Chizhou lowered his head and touched noses with him: “Xiaowanzi, speak.”

“I don’t know.” After saying a few words and breathing for a long time, Lin Wan wrinkled Zhu Chizhou’s clothes and finally told the truth.

“I can’t compare,” Lin Wan’s voice trembled, “because you were also my first kiss.”

Zhu Chizhou touched his lips which were red from being kissed, “My first love is still here, and I gave you my first kiss. Do you want to take my first love as well?”
