The high school student didn’t want to undress in the shop. So the shou looked at his expressionless face and thought: Is he still shy, or is he just trying to save face1Similar to 爱面子 which means “to like to look good in the eyes of others; sensitive about how one is regarded by others; proud”?
Kids this age seemed to have a lot of pride and didn’t want to lose face in front of people – Thinking about it this way, he feel that the high school student was not so scary, and even a little cute at this age.
But as soon as these two words came to his lips and he met the high school student’s straightforward gaze, the shou pressed them back down.
There was a staff lounge in the room. So the shou closed the door behind him. And when he turned his head, he was confronted with the high school student’s firm, bare chest.
The high school student had actually taken off all his clothes.
The shou blinked slowly, his ears reddening little by little. He stared at the high school student, unable to speak for a long time.
The high school student’s face was calm as he locked eyes with the shou, who instantly stammered as if he had been scalded, “…… Where, where else does it hurt?”
The high school student turned around, and several distinct red bruises were branded on his back, as well as the blue ones, which were a bit shocking to look at. The shou’s eyelashes trembled and his face turned pale. He couldn’t moved for a long time. The high school student turned his head. He glanced at shou, and asked frowning slightly, “What are you afraid of?”
The shou pursed his lips. He clenched his hands and slowly approached the herbal oil. Remembering that the high school student was afraid of pain, he whispered, “It may hurt a little. You can bear with it.”
The high school student was startled. He hummed, lowered his eyes and said no more.
He was tall. Sitting on a stool, with his upper body bare, wide shoulders and narrow waist, he had a body between an adult man and a boy. The shou’s palms were sweaty, and he rarely got so close to people. So he was uncontrollably restrained and flustered. He moved slowly and the high school student didn’t rush him too. He just quietly listened to the ups and downs of the shou’s breathing.
After a while, the slightly cold palm of the shou was pressed against the high school student’s strong back, and the high school student tensed up suddenly. The shou asked him in a low voice, “I’m sorry. Does it hurt?”
The high school student said in a blunt tone, “It doesn’t hurt.”
He said, “I’ll be lighter.”
The high school student said, “It’s okay. I am not hurt.”
The shou’s fingers trembled, only to feel the muscles under his palms tighten and stiffen, but with a sense of savage strength. The medicinal oil was cold, but once it evaporated, it became stinging and hot.
Neither of them spoke. When shou’s palm slid to the back of the high school student, the high school student suddenly turned his head and grabbed the shou’s hand. His palm was wet with sweat, and he was a little embarrassed, “Okay.”
Shou looked at the high school student blankly. The palm of the high school student was burning hot, as if they were heating up extremely, and his eyes were oppressive. The shou swallowed, and for no reason, he felt a little hot.
Obviously, the air conditioner was still on in the supermarket, and the air conditioning was sufficient.
He looked at the air conditioner subconsciously and gave a mumbled oh. His fingers curled up and he tried to pull his hand back, but the high school student clutched it so hard that he couldn’t pull it out for a while.
The high school student looked at the shou without blinking, and the shou couldn’t help but whisper, “Don’t stare at me.”
The high school student responded and watched him for a moment longer before moving his gaze away.
The shou said, “Let me go.”
The high school student looked at the wrist that he was holding in the palm of his hand. He rubbed his thumb inadvertently and then slowly released it before saying, “Thank you.”
Shou, “…… Ah, You’re, you’re welcome.”
High school student, “Can I invite you for a meal?”
The shou hurriedly looked up at the high school student and shook his head as if his life depended on it, “No, no need.”
The high school student couldn’t help but say, “Need.”
“I’ll come to get you after school,” He looked at the shou and added, “You can go home and eat if you want.”
Shou, “……”
