Hand Care [Pathological Possessiveness]

Toxic, alluring flirt / mutual pining / mutual seduction / happy ending

[Guiding, seductive shopkeeper x oblivious customer]

An Xiuhuo x Wenshui

Also known as "Accidentally Pulling the Legs Off My Crush"

///

Wenshui's first encounter with An Xiuhuo began with a misunderstanding: she accidentally got this handsome, refined stranger's assistive exoskeleton stuck in a crack.

While they waited for emergency services, Wenshui learned the name of the man before her, and received a mysterious website address.

///

The next time they met, their fingertips touched during hand care, palms meeting as flirtation glided across their skin.

During a head massage, fingers passed through her hair, sending a delicious shiver through her...

During a neck and shoulder massage, fingertips brushed her back, leaving a faint tingling in their wake.

During a facial, he turned his head aside and still pressed a kiss to her lips.

They tangled together.

She was swallowed by a tenderness that concealed a forceful streak.

Wenshui really did melt into warm water.

///

When Wenshui realized that he might treat other people the same way he treated her, she wanted to leave this endless flirtation behind.

An Xiuhuo wouldn't let her.

He had difficulty getting around, was insecure and gloomy, and had a pathological desire to keep her by his side.

If he couldn't catch up to her, then why not simply stop her from leaving?

From her fingertips to her hair, from her lips to her heart, he would "take good care" of every part of her.

From beginning to end, he would never waver.

"You want to leave. Why do you always want to leave?"

"I've been trying so hard to keep you here. And you like it too."

His fingertips pressed in, rubbing deeper. "Don't you?"

He's far more forceful than he lets on.

He's just very good at guiding people.

* SC / both each other's first love / one-on-one

* The male lead has a disability in his left lower leg. He seems gentle, distant, and courteous, but is actually an insecure, unwell, increasingly controlling poor soul who tries to use physical intimacy to seduce the heroine and win her attention and love. It's ingrained in his subconscious that anyone who treats him well will eventually leave.

* In real life, be wary of inappropriate touching. No harmful guidance.
