Chapter 97 Applying Medicine
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia felt a surge of excitement throughout his body.
He couldn't help but imagine the scene based on Wu Zhou's description: the lights were on, and he was doing that kind of thing with Wu Zhou, which he could see clearly.
The muscles in a man's waist and abdomen as he moves, his thin lips pressed tightly together...
If you close your eyes and don't look, the other person might try to trick you into opening them.
Wu Zhou was making crude jokes, but he wasn't joking.
He held Jiang Xia's hand, wanting Jiang Xia to accept him completely, to accept everything about him, and to wait until their relationship was set so that he would have no chance to back out.
Moved by the touch, Wu Zhou kept gently pecking at Jiang Xia's earlobe, just like he had comforted him the night before. Jiang Xia's eyes narrowed from the rubbing.
Wu Zhou gently massaged Jiang Xia's abdomen, his hot palms relieving the soreness and bloating.
As he massaged her, he asked softly, "Is this any better?"
Jiang Xia didn't know if he had been stimulated too much last night, but when he massaged her, she felt a tingling sensation all over her body from time to time.
A tingling sensation spread throughout his body, making his fingertips go weak. Jiang Xia suppressed the sound in his throat and involuntarily squeezed his legs together.
He crossed his legs and rubbed them together, his toes curled up, trying to suppress the pleasure brought on by desire.
His body ached, but the mild stimulation actually made his brain more excited.
Jiang Xia's cheeks gradually turned red, and the red blended with her originally fair skin, turning into a light pink.
He looked up and met Wu Zhou's gaze.
Jiang Xia's eyes were upturned at the corners, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were slightly narrowed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly with her breath, as if she was deep in thought.
Wu Zhou's breathing became somewhat disordered.
Last night, Jiang Xia was mostly in a dazed state, her eyes reflecting her own image. Occasionally, when she couldn't bear it any longer, she would hug herself tightly, leaving red marks on her back.
He restrained himself and tried his best to make Jiang Xia comfortable, so that he would enjoy doing this kind of thing in the future... He wanted Jiang Xia to face the changes in his maturing body with equanimity and enjoy its existence.
At first, when Wu Zhou realized his feelings for Jiang Xia and wanted to spend his life with him but couldn't get close to him, he also felt a sense of rejection from his own physical reactions.
He secretly fantasizes about the Yangtze River Gorge; it's utterly shameful.
Later, Wu Zhou accepted all of this calmly and hoped that Jiangxia would also yearn for him in the same way.
Because his imagination was ultimately vague and abstract, those hazy images became reality.
It seems like it was just yesterday.
Jiang Xia trembled, gasped for breath, and whispered his own name.
Even so, Wu Zhou's rationality would occasionally crumble, and he would struggle to control his strength.
When Jiang Xia couldn't take it anymore, he actually called out Zhan Lintian's name.
Wu Zhou didn't intend to give Jiang Xia time to think. He directly grabbed Jiang Xia's thigh and gently pressed it.
Jiang Xia, whose body was sensitive, jumped up and said, "No!"
Wu Zhoutai took it for granted, pressed him down, and held him tightly before whispering, "Is it sore and swollen here?"
"I'll apply the medicine to you later."
"That's perfect. I was going to apply the medicine to you, but you were sleeping so soundly that I was afraid of waking you up."
Jiang Xia felt his gentle touch, their lips met, and after a long hesitation, she finally said, "I'm sorry... I'll take responsibility."
We can't just pack up and leave.
Wu Zhou kissed Jiang Xia's forehead and said, "I should be the one apologizing. Although I drank last night, I wasn't completely out of my mind."
"The decision is entirely in your hands, Jiang Xia."
Jiang Xia lowered his head, his lips trembling, but it wasn't entirely Wu Zhou's fault.
He sighed softly, and finally confessed, "I thought it was a dream, that's why I didn't push it away..."
Thinking it was a dream before leaving, Jiang Xia felt a sudden pang of sadness at the thought of being scattered across the country and never seeing others again.
If it were Jiang Xia at eighteen, she would definitely push him away.
At eighteen, he always felt that he had a long life ahead of him.
So he avoided everyone who came near him, and only had Wu Ming as a friend.
He didn't feel any regret.
But people change, and now he regrets it. If he had made more friends in college back then, would he be less lonely now?
Jiang Xia said softly, "I should have had the strength or the willpower to express my disagreement to you, but I didn't..."
Given Wu Zhou's personality, when faced with matters of principle, as long as he has clearly expressed his dislike, he will definitely respect his own opinion.
Most importantly, Jiang Xia vaguely remembered that she seemed to have kissed him first.
Jiang Xia only said one sentence, but Wu Zhou understood it all and hugged him tightly: "Even if it's not a dream, you don't need to push him away."
"Jiang Xia, take responsibility for me, let's have a proper relationship."
Jiang Xia couldn't stand these words, nor could he bring himself to simply walk away after a one-night stand.
Even if he doesn't agree, he will think it over carefully.
Jiang Xia said in a low voice, "I will consider it."
Wu Zhou wasn't in a hurry: "I'll take my time to think about it."
Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he only had to deal with Wu Zhou. Luckily, he hadn't done anything reckless last night.
Probably not...
But Jiang Xia soon felt a lump in his throat; Zhan Lintian was actually able to stay and help cook.
He put himself in her shoes and felt only heartache that the person he liked was having a relationship with someone else...
She hadn't even seriously rejected him, nor had she given Zhan Lintian any time to prepare himself mentally.
Jiang Xia's emotions were churning, and his brain crashed because it couldn't process the complex feelings.
Over the years, he has used a gradually cooling emotional response to deal with those sad moments.
It's not okay now; if we don't deal with it, it will hurt others.
But soon, Jiangxia rejected this idea.
Wu Zhou raised his hand, picked the person up horizontally, and carried him downstairs for dinner in a swift and efficient manner.
Jiang Xia's mind was in complete turmoil.
When he saw Zhan Lintian.
Zhan Lintian set the food down and gently brushed his slightly messy hair aside: "Have something to eat."
The man's fingertips brushed across Jiang Xia's cheek, and Jiang Xia's eyes widened, her pupils trembling, as all the other fragmented memories resurfaced.
I think I called out Zhan Lintian's name, and he comforted me. The next moment, I took the initiative to kiss him...
The man's passionate breaths still faintly echoed in my mind.
Jiang Xia was a little confused; he had felt something was off when he was in the restroom.
The scene after he got drunk alternated between Wu Zhou and Zhan Lintian.
Zhan Lintian asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
I originally wanted to cook porridge for Jiang Xia, but then I thought about how Jiang Xia would faint from carbon monoxide poisoning, and that he would fall asleep immediately after eating a bowl of porridge.
Jiang Xia considered a possibility.
His brain went blank, and his whole body felt like it was on fire.
He suddenly stood up: "I'm going to wash my face and calm down."
Jiang Xia's legs went weak, and Zhan Lintian took the opportunity to pull him into his arms.
He held him very high, and Jiang Xia instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, staring at Zhan Lintian in a daze.
Zhan Lintian said softly, "I'll take you to wash your face, be careful."
I finally managed to snag one.
The closer Zhan Lintian got, the more certain the Yangtze River Gorge became.
I had a preconceived notion. I saw Wu Zhou and assumed that Wu Zhou was the one I was with, so I thought that I had a sexual relationship with Wu Zhou while drunk.
But when I look at Zhan Lintian again, images of me being intimate with him come to mind.
Zhan Lintian quickened his pace, hurriedly carrying Jiang Xia into the bathroom and neatly closing the door.
The next moment, Jiang Xia was showered with kisses.
Zhan Lintian stroked his cheeks with both hands to keep him from moving, and sucked hard with his lips.
Jiang Xia turned his head away to avoid the attack, but the man followed him. When he tried to speak, the man kissed his eyes, nose, and cheeks repeatedly.
Jiang Xia pushed him away first: "Wait a minute."
Zhan Lintian was pushed away, but he wasn't angry. Instead, he wanted to continue kissing him.
Jiang Xia covered his face with his right hand.
Zhan Lintian didn't move, and Jiang Xia thought he had behaved himself, so he put his hand down. But to his surprise, Zhan Lintian turned his head and kissed the corner of his mouth again.
Jiang Xia extended her index finger and gently pressed it against his lips, slightly raising her eyebrows and looking him in the eye, warning him not to continue kissing.
Observing Jiang Xia's expression, Zhan Lintian obediently stopped, then looked at Jiang Xia's fingertips and kissed them very gently.
"knew."
Jiang Xia's heart trembled and her nose stung with tears. He didn't say anything crude or flirtatious, but every action he took made his attitude clear.
What's the point of him not answering and just kissing himself?
Jiang Xia tried to appear serious.
Seeing this, Zhan Lintian grabbed Jiang Xia's waist with both hands and controlled the force, so that Jiang Xia was gently placed on the washbasin.
In this way, Jiang Xia was slightly taller than the towering Zhan Lintian.
He could only lower his eyes and look at Zhan Lintian.
Zhan Lintian also gently raised his chin, bringing his face closer, and the two looked into each other's eyes.
Jiang Xia put her hands on his shoulders to prevent him from falling.
Jiang Xia opened her eyes wide, feeling both scared and flustered, and tried her best to maintain her composure.
He was waiting for Zhan Lintian to speak and tell him the truth about last night.
The bathroom is not as spacious as the outside.
When the two got close enough to the river gorge to hear each other's breathing, Jiang Xia's heartbeat sounded like it was about to jump out of his ears.
Jiang Xia lowered his voice: "Tell me..."
"What did you say?" Zhan Lintian asked with a smirk.
Jiang Xia pursed her lips and said, "You know that."
Zhan Lintian gazed at him intently, his eyes deep and affectionate. A smile played on his lips, and his voice was low and suggestive, drawing out the words: "Wife..."
The word "wife"... Jiang Xia's body remained steamy.
Zhan Lintian kissed Jiang Xia's Adam's apple: "You have to take responsibility for me."
Jiang Xia was truly dumbfounded.
Mr. Zhan, are you implying that the person you were with last night... was him?
Did I act like a jerk last night?
Jiang Xia silently raised his right hand, then rubbed his forehead, treating last night's events as a dream, a fleeting moment of pleasure.
Now that I'm awake, there's a big problem.
After Jiang Xia realized this, he didn't dare to ask Zhan Lintian any more questions.
If he asked again, the two of them would have to give him an explanation, and he had absolutely no idea what to do.
So, after Zhan Lintian wiped his face, he carried him back to the dining table. Jiang Xia ate quietly and didn't ask any more questions.
Zhan Lintian and Wu Zhou didn't delve any further, fearing that if they questioned the legal status, Jiang Xia's sense of morality would kick in and he'd start arguing...
The two of them did know the principle of boiling a frog in lukewarm water.
Wu Zhou calmly surveyed the Yangtze River Gorge.
He squinted and noticed that Jiang Xia's lips were somewhat red and swollen.
Wu Zhou paused, realizing that he had applied medicine to Jiang Xia's lips that morning, and the swelling had subsided by noon.
It seems that Zhan Lintian took the opportunity to steal a kiss from Jiang Xia in the restroom.
Her lips turned red.
He didn't ask any questions. After all, Jiang Xia's mood was diverted after being kissed by Zhan Lintian, and he was no longer so gloomy.
There are some things that don't need to be told to Jiang Xia, lest they cause him trouble.
For example, Wu Ming secretly returned to China and stayed outside Jiang Xia's residence in Mengcheng, refusing to leave no matter what.
He brought many valuable gifts, hoping that Jiangxia would open the door and see his sincerity.
His assistant tried to persuade him to leave, but he refused, insisting that Jiang Xia was angry with him for not opening the door last night.
He decided to wait patiently, and this morning around 10 a.m., Wu Ming listened at the door for a long time, but still didn't hear any noise.
The assistant couldn't take it anymore. No amount of money could make him push his physical limits and stay up all night.
Before changing shifts, he advised Wu Ming to be rational, saying that Mr. Jiang was probably not home.
Wu Ming was as stupid as a pig, and he looked like he was about to faint at the entrance of Jiangxia Gorge to gain sympathy.
Wu Zhou cut some fruit for Jiang Xia so he could eat some to replenish his fluids.
He looked at Jiang Xia's profile as she quietly ate, feeling relieved that Jiang Xia had left Mengcheng ahead of time.
Otherwise, given Wu Ming's antics, even if Jiang Xia didn't care about Wu Ming's life, he would still be afraid that Wu Ming would die at his doorstep, which would affect the landlord's property prices and the old lady at the fruit stall's later years.
unlucky.
Wu Zhou stopped talking, picked up the ointment, and saw that Jiang Xia was still sleepy after eating.
He said, "Go back to sleep for a while."
Jiang Xia rested his chin on his hand: "It's alright, just a little dizzy from carbs?"
Wu Zhou picked him up: "You're not dizzy from carbon monoxide poisoning, you're just too tired."
Wu Zhou had seen Jiang Xia's medical examination report last time.
Jiang Xia felt sleepy after meals not because he was sick.
It's just that an unhealthy diet, work stress, poor mood, and prolonged lack of sunlight can lead to early signs of insulin resistance.
Jiang Xia rarely goes out to sunbathe, and he cooks his own meals however is convenient, so it's normal for him to be vitamin deficient.
He received a vitamin D injection, which was said to last for six months.
Therefore, Jiang Xia's condition has improved a lot recently, but he still barely slept last night, being half-asleep.
Wu Zhou was strong. After embracing Jiang Xia, he took the opportunity to forward the news of Wu Ming's return to China to Zhan Lintian.
Zhan Lintian chuckled, knowing that he was being asked to handle the matter.
After clearing his head, Wu Ming remembered that he had wanted to check Zhan Lintian's schedule at noon.
He insisted that it was General Manager Zhan who had tricked Jiang Xia away.
Even if the Wu family doesn't help him, he can still find a few fair-weather friends after he returns to China.
Wu Zhou gave Zhan Lintian a cold look. If Wu Ming really investigated Zhan Lintian's schedule and made a scene in front of Jiang Xia, it would only cause Jiang Xia trouble.
He now leaves the entire process to Zhan Lintian, and he won't interfere no matter what Zhan Lintian does.
Before leaving, Zhan Lintian looked at Jiang Xia and gave him a big kiss.
"I'll go out and buy you something. What would you like to eat?"
With a loud thud, a mark was left on Jiang Xia's cheek. He then took out his phone and took a picture of himself and Jiang Xia together.
Zhan Lintian then hurriedly went out.
Wu Zhou carried Jiang Xia with one arm and carried the medicine box with the other as they went upstairs.
He was going to apply medicine to Jiangxia.
On the bed in the bedroom, Jiang Xia leaned closer and asked softly, "Can you... tell me about last night..."
Wu Zhou supported his back and kissed Jiang Xia's reddened eyelids: "It's not important, Jiang Xia, it's okay."
No matter how much Jiang Xia consciously cared, he always liked it physically, and last night when faced with intrusion, he awkwardly responded.
Jiang Xia tried to dodge, but twisted his waist and gasped.
Wu Zhou said, "Apply the medicine first, so you won't feel even more uncomfortable later."
“I’ll help you…” Wu Zhou’s actions were as firm as his attitude.
Jiang Xia instinctively tried to back away, but Wu Zhou held her tightly in his arms, leaving her no room to escape.
Jiang Xia quickly said, "I'll do it myself!"
"It's alright." Wu Zhou kissed his eyelids again. "I was worried that you wouldn't apply the medicine properly... This medicine has analgesic and anti-swelling effects. Once you apply it, you'll feel much better."
Wu Zhou's voice was a little hoarse: "I'll only use my fingers to help you..."
A note from the author:
Wu Zhou: Jiang Xia, we'll continue doing this when you're lucid... (rubbing his stomach)
Jiangxia: When?
Wu Zhou: Now.
[Patting head]

A really good scene.
They were just helping me apply medicine. They said they were applying it with their fingers, but they kept pressing on sensitive spots. Before the medicine was properly applied, they suggested a different method. [Facepalm eavesdropping]
