Thirsty Skin - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 – Meditation Guidance

In an instant, many thoughts flooded into Lin Wan’s mind.

【Zhu Chizhou is Lei Zhengting’s son.】

【Our family backgrounds are so different…what would his parents think of us?】

【He is much younger than me, and is at the age when emotions are most impulsive… and we are in a superior-subordinate relationship.】

【No matter how you think about it, it’s hard for us to go on.】

【But…】

Suddenly, he was hugged by someone again, and a big hand rubbed his head hard: “Don’t let your imagination run wild, Xiaowanzi.”

Zhu Chizhou seemed to want to rub all the bad thoughts out of his head. He ruffled his hair and said again for emphasis: “Don’t let your imagination run wild.”

Lin Wan was very confused now. He had just been kissed so fiercely, his heart was still beating violently, and a tangled mass of strange emotions was surging in his chest.

He hugged Zhu Chizhou’s waist with both hands and buried himself completely in Zhu Chizhou’s arms. He didn’t want to think about anything anymore. He closed his eyes and said “hmm” softly, feeling the corners of his eyes getting wet again.

After hugging for a while, Zhu Chizhou reached out to turn off the fire. Lin Wan followed Zhu Chizhou’s action and raised his face to look, his cheeks as red as if he was drunk.

His eyes were also red, and his eyelids were slightly wider than usual.

Zhu Chizhou lowered his head to look at him carefully, stretched his fingers behind his glasses, and scraped the ends of his wet eyes, “Your eyes are almost swollen from crying, don’t think too much, falling in love is a simple thing, I like you, you like me, that’s enough.”

Lin Wan blinked, tears welling up again, 【Really?】

“Really?” Zhu Chizhou touched his forehead with his own. “You always like to think about things. Believe me, there must be a way out when you reach the mountain. If there is no way out, we will make one for ourselves.”

Lin Wan’s heart was beating fast. He looked up, slightly widened his eyes and looked at Zhu Chizhou. He couldn’t help but say, “Chizhou, sometimes I feel like you know what I’m thinking.”

Zhu Chizhou hesitated for a moment, but quickly came to his senses, kissed him on the lips, and said, “Dinner is ready.”

The dishes and chopsticks were placed on the dining table and the two people sat opposite each other.

Lin Wan had become accustomed to eating at home with Zhu Chizhou, and they even have fixed seats.

They only cook two or three dishes for each meal, and the portions are small, ensuring that there is no leftover food.

Zhu Chizhou is trying hard to maintain a lifestyle that makes Lin Wan feel comfortable, and Lin Wan is also willing to change some of his strange prejudices for Zhu Chizhou.

For example, he followed Zhu Chizhou’s advice and matched the pure black dining table with brightly colored tableware, and he also calmly accepted the milky pink porcelain bowl that Zhu Chizhou gave him for eating.

After eating, they washed the dishes together and then went to the living room to choose a movie.

Lin Wan went into the room to change his glasses first, and when he came out, Zhu Chizhou had already picked out a science fiction film that lasted more than three hours.

They had agreed to watch a movie, and hugging each other every night was a must.

Otherwise, if they just hug each other and do nothing, both would feel a little nervous.

Zhu Chizhou sat in the middle of the sofa. There was a pillow on the seat next to him, which was prepared for Lin Wan.

Lin Wan put on a pair of black-framed glasses that made him look gentle, and walked over to sit next to Zhu Chizhou.

Zhu Chizhou naturally stretched out his arms and put them around his shoulders, and he leaned on Zhu Chizhou’s chest.

The movie started playing the opening credits. Lin Wan pulled the hem of Zhu Chizhou’s shirt and gently lifted it up. The opening song played and Lin Wan’s fingers went in.

“You smell so good.” He said this, tilting his head back to smell the crook of Zhu Chizhou’s neck, rubbing his nose against it like a small animal.

Zhu Chizhou turned his head and smelled a refreshing mint scent on his face.

“Have you brushed your teeth?” Zhu Chizhou looked at him and rubbed the corner of his mouth with his rough thumb.

Lin Wan blushed and denied it, “I didn’t.”

“I smell toothpaste,” Zhu Chizhou bent down to smell his lips and confirmed, “It means you brushed your teeth.”

Lin Wan dodged to the side and said, “No, you smelled it wrong.”

Zhu Chizhou used his thumb to pry open his chin, wanting to get closer to smell it. Lin Wan immediately buried his head in Zhu Chizhou’s chest and hummed in a muffled voice: “You’re so annoying. I’m just thinking that if we have to kiss again later…”

The older boy got excited and turned sideways to push him against the back of the sofa. Lin Wan didn’t resist at all and fell down as soon as he pushed him, looking at him with eyes that were so gentle that they were about to burst into tears.

The lights were bright. They had just kissed each other in the kitchen, and now that Lin Wan had taken the initiative, Zhu Chizhou felt shy again.

The movie’s opening song was almost over, and the two of them were still staring at each other.

Lin Wan opened his eyes wide, slightly opened his mouth and gasped.

【…are you going to kiss me or not? 】

The boy leaned over and kissed him.

His mouth was cold after brushing his teeth, but Zhu Chizhou’s body was warm, and Lin Wan was quickly warmed up by him.

The weather forecast said it would rain tonight. The leaves rustled and the wind blowing in from the window was damp and cool.

The movie was still playing even though no one was watching it, and the two of them rolled into each other on the sofa.

The two of them hugged each other tightly, their lips and tongues rubbing against each other, with only the occasional humming sound mixed in with the background sound of the movie.

They kissed for a long time before breaking apart.

When the movie was halfway through, the rain really started to fall, making crisp crackling sounds when it hit the window glass.

The world outside the rain curtain becomes blurred, while the room is quiet and warm.

Today Lin Wan took away Zhu Chizhou’s car keys, so Zhu Chizhou’s car is still in the company’s underground garage.

Seeing that the rain outside was getting heavier, Lin Wan was a little hesitant.

【I want him to stay and sleep.】

【But given our current relationship, it should look as if I’m taking the initiative to keep him company as if I want to have sex with him.】

【But I’m not like that. I’m just worried that it’s raining and it’s hard for him to go home.】

【But what should I do if he wants that?】

【He has seen gay videos! He must have some ideas!!!】…

Zhu Chizhou sat on the sofa with Lin Wan in his arms, wondering how Lin Wan could think about such cute and funny things with such a serious face.

If he couldn’t hear what Lin Wan was thinking, he would think that Lin Wan was completely absorbed in the plot of the movie at this time.

But in fact, he must go home tonight, because he had an appointment with Yan Lu’s senior brother to video chat at twelve o’clock, and he had some questions about the skin touch therapy manual to ask.

“Xiaowanzi,” Zhu Chizhou interrupted Lin Wan’s mumbling and said, “I have something for you.”

Lin Wan came back to his senses and asked, “What?”

Zhu Chizhou took out a USB flash drive from his trouser pocket, held it in his hand for a few seconds, and said a little embarrassedly: “This is the meditation guidance audio I recorded for you.”

Lin Wan sat up straight in surprise and took the USB drive. “Meditation guidance?”

“Didn’t I tell you that Yan Lu’s school does special research on dermatitis? I don’t know if you have heard of the Touch Skin Care Center.”

Lin Wan nodded: “I have heard that some countries have established them, but they are not popular.”

“Yes, the Skin Touch Care Center was initiated by Yan Lu’s school. I asked him to find a Skin Touch Therapist Operation Manual for me.”

Lin Wan was startled, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Chizhou, “You…”

Zhu Chizhou looked at him gently and attentively, and continued: “The manual mentioned that meditation is also a good way to relieve stress. I want you to try it.”

Lin Wan’s heart was beating fast. It turned out that Zhu Chizhou had done so much for him without his knowledge.

Holding the small USB flash drive in his palm, Lin Wan smiled and looked at the boy and said, “Thank you. I will make good use of it.”

The boy was obviously shy. “My… this guided meditation may be different from what you have heard before. Try it today. If you find it too embarrassing, tell me and I will re-record it for you tomorrow.”

Lin Wan wondered: “Why would I feel ashamed?”

Zhu Chizhou’s ears turned red, and he didn’t want to explain any more. “Just listen to it first.”

The two hugged each other until after ten o’clock. Zhu Chizhou drove Lin Wan’s car home. Before leaving, he said that he was afraid of the dark. He coaxed Lin Wan and kissed him before leaving.

After taking a shower, Lin Wan changed into comfortable pajamas, put on Bluetooth headphones, and lay on the bed listening to the audio that Zhu Chizhou sent him.

The beginning is the common background sound, the quiet summer night insects, and very soothing light music.

Then Zhu Chizhou’s deep and pleasant voice sounded.

“Lin Wan, please relax your body, find a comfortable position to lie down, close your eyes, follow my guidance, and start the deep meditation with you.”

“Now, you and I are lying on a lawn. The grass beneath you is as soft as a mattress, and you are lying next to me in a white shirt. We are lying on our backs, the sky is full of diamond-like stars, and the breeze is caressing your cheeks.”

Zhu Chizhou’s voice was slow and gentle, soothingly entering his ears and relaxing every nerve in Lin Wan’s body.

“You take a deep breath, and the fresh air with the scent of grass and trees passes through your nasal cavity and fills your lungs. Then you exhale very slowly, expelling all your worries and uneasiness from your body. With every breath, you feel yourself becoming more and more immersed in this peaceful night…”

Lin Wan was about to fall asleep, and thought vaguely, isn’t this a very common guiding sound?

After a few deep breaths, the voice in the headphones became deeper, slower, and more magnetic.

“It’s safe here, you’re relaxed, you close your eyes and feel the breeze blowing, lifting your shirt.”

“The wind blows your shirt open little by little, and the skin on your chest and abdomen touches the cool air. You feel comfortable in every pore.”

“Now, let the breeze caress your entire body, from head to toe.”

Lin Wan’s heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a tingling sensation spread across his scalp.

“I put my fingers in your hair and stroked your hair. My fingers were warm and my movements were gentle.”

“I touch your forehead, your eyes, your cheeks, then your neck and shoulders.”

“Your shoulders were relaxed, all the tension was released. You cooperated with me a little bit, and I took your shirt off.”

Lin Wan’s breathing became rapid, and a tingling tremor rose from his tailbone, making him unable to hold back.

But he was like a possessed man and didn’t want to open his eyes, allowing Zhu Chizhou in the headphones to take off his clothes and touch his shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen.

“I touched your waist, Lin Wan.”

“I hold your waist with both hands. You feel the heat of my palms, you feel my fingers on your belly, and then, you feel me gently touching the skin of your belly.”

“I’ll kiss you there.”

Lin Wan raised his hand and grabbed the pillow, bit his lip, took a few deep breaths, and turned his face to bury it in the soft pillow.

His eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes trembling slightly.

“Next, lie on your left side and I’ll hold you from behind.”

“You feel the warmth of my skin. Your body is a little cold, but I will warm you up.”

“Your back is against my chest. You are completely, utterly relaxed now. There is peace and tranquility in your heart. All the sting and tension that the disease brought to you is gone.”

“At this moment, you are in my arms, feeling very safe and comfortable.”

“I will hold you until dawn.”

“Go to sleep.”

“Good night, Xiaowanzi.”

Our little Zhu just finished his meal and went to brush his teeth.
