I Only Crave Skinship with My Ex

[Rekindled romance / touch starvation / mutual feelings that never changed]

On the first day after returning home from graduate school, Jiang Nanxi ran into her ex-boyfriend Lu Huaichao. Reason told her that after finally managing to break things off with him, she should pretend not to see him and get away as quickly as possible.

But the accursed touch starvation, which only affected her around him, held her fast. Her feet felt as heavy as lead, leaving her unable to move, while her gaze honestly swept across every inch of Lu Huaichao's exposed skin: his long, graceful fingers, his strong neck, his pale pink lips...

Jiang Nanxi didn't want to admit it, but her body had already given her answer.

More than a year apart had only made her hunger for his touch grow stronger.

She wanted so, so badly to...

Touch him, kiss him, sleep with him...

So when Lu Huaichao slowly approached and suddenly leaned down toward her, Jiang Nanxi, under the control of her touch starvation, instantly forgot that they had broken up. She tilted her face up in eager cooperation, gazing at him from close range with near-obsession.

Their lips were only inches apart when Lu Huaichao lazily straightened up and looked down at her. His casual tone was full of vengeance. "What are you doing, ex-girlfriend? Didn't you say you weren't interested in my body?"

"..."

Jiang Nanxi came to her senses. She realized that Lu Huaichao had deliberately tempted her to come closer so he could tease her mercilessly. She cursed him in her heart a thousand times, but could only flee, frustrated and knowing she was in the wrong.

She had been the one to break up with him. Jiang Nanxi told herself to be magnanimous and let it go.

But this cold-on-the-outside, jerk-on-the-inside, scheming ex-boyfriend of hers kept pushing his luck.

Knowing that only he was aware of her touch starvation, he deliberately kept showing up in front of her.

Jerk incident one:

[His long, beautiful fingers slowly picked up a strawberry and bit into it right in front of her. Bright red juice silently ran over his pale fingers, the vivid contrast an assault on the senses. Jiang Nanxi's gaze quivered. Her throat tightened with dryness, but she had to force herself to turn away and resist the urge to lean in and lick it.]

Jerk incident two:

[He pretended to be drunk in front of her, but when Jiang Nanxi couldn't resist the temptation and tried to take advantage of him, he grabbed her chin without mercy. "Jiang Nanxi, what are you doing?"

His voice was far too clear to belong to a drunk.]

And incidents like these kept happening.

Jiang Nanxi broke down. "Damn you! What do you think I'm trying to do?!"

"I'm calling the police! Someone's baiting me into a crime!"

But when Jiang Nanxi was at her weakest, Lu Huaichao was also the first to hold her and give her warmth.

He dropped the jerk act, pressed his forehead against hers, and gently rubbed his nose against hers to soothe her, letting her restless fingers roam over every inch of his strong body.

P.S. Touch starvation is just a plot device. There are lots of original details, so don't compare it to real life.
