Wang Yibo all but raised himself in his aunt's small congee and wonton shop on the poor side of the city. Resourceful, he's made his way in life alone without relying on or trusting anyone. That is, until a chance encounter with Xiao Zhan, the scion...
"You can't do this," he said to himself out loud. "If you do this, how are you going to look him in the eyes for the next five months?"
His scolding had an edge of desperate pleading. Yet he didn't heed the warning and returned his hand to his member. A frisson ran through his body as he did, making him want more as his mind conjured other images of his boss. His dark brown eyes. The way he tilted his head back slightly when he laughed.
"You don't even like the guy," he protested. "You don't even know him!"
He fought the urge to stroke himself but could feel the throbbing of his veins with his fingers. Focused as he was on controlling his hand, he couldn't prevent his hips from thrusting forward. The reward was immediate.
It's just one time. You need to sleep. This will help.
His entire life, Yibo had denied himself pleasure and comfort. He'd paid a heavy price on the rare times he'd indulged himself. He couldn't do this. He couldn't let this happen. It wasn't worth it.
Imagine... His hands... So soft...
A picture of Mr. Xiao's curled fingers on the car seat offered itself to Yibo, who tried to repress the inappropriate erotic scenarios this engendered, but if he could win these small battles with his mind, he already knew he would lose the war with his body. Although furious with himself, he had to admit he wanted the release much more. He felt as though the world would end if he didn't give in.
And so he did.
Maybe he'd resisted too much, or perhaps it had been too long since the last time; either way, it was over in moments. As he came, he clamped his free hand over his mouth and muffled his release as much as he could. Then, out of breath, body trembling and knees weak, he leaned on the cool, wet tiles to bask in the aftermath of this stolen moment of illicit pleasure as the water washed away all physical traces of it. Then, as his breathing and heartbeat slowed down, he returned to his senses. He heard the sound of the water against the floor, felt its warmth against his skin, and smelled the sweet perfume of body soap.
So nice. So peaceful.
And then, the reality of what he'd done hit him.
Dizziness accompanied the unbearable shame that followed, and Yibo rushed out of the shower, towelling himself with trembling hands.
What the fuck have I done??
He repeated the question on a loop with increasing anxiety as he dressed himself and returned to bed.
You jerked off to your boss.
Pulling the blankets to his chin, Yibo understood that he'd replaced his other worries with another, much more pressing one. He'd achieved his goal, but it had seriously backfired.
Yibo turned to his right side and created a ridge with pillows in front of himself. Then, adopting the fetal position, he closed his hand on his ring and prayed that if he recreated his usual sleeping arrangements, he might be able to calm himself and stop obsessing over his transgression.
Why didn't I think of this first!? Why did I have to go this far?!
Had he been better acquainted with his own body, Yibo would have realized that his fussing and worries were of little consequence; overtaken by the combined soporific effects of masturbation and a warm shower, he fell asleep within seconds.

~~~NOTES~~~
Lovelies, we finally made it into the house! This story is progressing much slower than I had expected, but I'm ok with it; once the big stuff starts happening, you'll have no break, so enjoy it while it lasts!
The masturbation in the shower scene wasn't planned initially, but I felt like it worked well in the context. Of course, a wank can't solve everything when you're really stressed, but I think Yibo underestimates how tired he actually is all the time, so it worked out.
I'm curious to know what you think is the reason for XZ's sudden odd behaviour at the house. I have a specific reason in mind, but I want to see how you guys see it!
It's been a while, but I have a song for you this week!
---Housekeeping---
I've finally caved in and created a social media account for Kanmuri Writes again. There was no way I was going to go back on Twitter, and I find posting on IG a hassle, so it is! I've created a few side accounts for cooking, reading, and travelling, so if you're interested, you can follow those as well. (The link is available on my profile in a conversation.) If I'm correct, Tumblr can be seen even if you don't have an account, so you can also just bookmark the page so you get news and extra content.
I have added more songs to the Spotify playlist; it has almost 200 songs. (Link also in my profile)
There is a strong chance that the next chapter will be delayed by about a week. I have dental surgery coming up and will be working in my local elections, so I won't have as much time to write. I might still manage, but I don't want to put too much pressure on myself. I'll post about it on Tumblr when the time comes.
