Skin hunger is a condition that makes the skin of those who have it desperately crave the touch of others.
Jin Mian first noticed something was wrong with her body on the day she arrived in Hong Kong, when she met the uncle who was said to have an iron grip on everything and a ruthless reputation.
But the man was nothing like the rumors. He was handsome and refined, as warm and gentle as jade.
He patted her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mianmian. I'm sorry about what happened in your family. I know it's hard for you to come here."
Whenever she got close to him, her skin filled with a strange, unbearable itch of longing.
She thought it was just the change in climate and didn't pay it much mind.
Until the symptoms grew worse by the day.
-
She was mute, and though she felt terrible, she couldn't tell anyone.
Then one day, she made a startling discovery: as long as she was close to her uncle, her discomfort eased considerably.
At first, just smelling his scent was enough.
Later, his scent alone no longer helped.
She needed... to touch him.
Once, she accidentally fell into his arms. Jin Mian's body burned as she trembled, and the man asked softly, "Are you sick?"
Jin Mian fled in a panic.
-
Her symptoms grew worse, and with no other choice, she brazenly crept into the man's room while he was asleep.
The door wasn't locked. In the dim night, her gaze lingered over his relaxed, gentle features.
At last, it settled on his thin lips, and she swallowed with difficulty.
Jin Mian closed her eyes.
What was she thinking? How could she have improper thoughts about her uncle?
She was only sick. She couldn't help it.
With a startled cry, she tumbled into his arms. She opened her eyes to find the man's gaze dark and deep, without a trace of sleepiness.
"I couldn't satisfy you today, Mianmian. Do you want more?"
