Irresistible Love: Master Shen’s Quest to Charm His Lady - chapter 45
Chapter 45: Let’s Shower Together
“Do you know what I am thinking now?” asked Shen Chengfeng as he stooped down to her level. His sharp eyes and deep gaze settled on Xiao Jing’s skinny frame.
Xiao Jing silently tightened her hold on her cap, wondering whether this old geezer wanted to get even by stripping her bare since she had already seen all of him.
Shen Chengfeng raised his brows and fixed her with an intense stare. “I don’t like beating around the bush, so don’t make me spell it out for you,” he said.
Xiao Jing replied with a nod, “I promise not to tell anyone.”
“Tell anyone what?”
“Tell anyone that you have an eight-pack,” replied Xiao Jing with a lopsided grin, as she snuck another peek at his body.
“You’re indeed brilliant. Knowing when to play dumb,” responded Shen Chengfeng. Pointing to the side, he then said, “Go ahead, no one will be disrupting our showers.”
Xiao Jing stuttered and stared wide-eyed at the Commander.
“What? Don’t tell me you need help removing your clothes?” Standing underneath the showerhead, Shen Chengfeng was ready to turn on the shower again.
Xiao Jing fidgeted awkwardly. She had a feeling that the big rice dumpling in front of her was warning her that if she did not take off her clothes, he would come over to help take them off personally. And when that happened, no matter how she struggled or asked for help, no one would be coming to her assistance.
“The more you try to cover up, the more curious I am about what it is that you are hiding. Such is human nature,” said Shen Chengfeng, as he stared with gleaming eyes at the motionless person before him.
Xiao Jing smiled wryly, as she calculated how far she was from the door, and how long it would take for her to escape her current predicament.
“As expected, you are not very well-behaved.” As soon as Shen Chengfeng finished speaking, the water droplets started falling upon Xiao Jing like marbles.
Xiao Jing quickly rolled away, nimbly dodging Shen Chengfeng’s attack. Staring in mild bewilderment at the leader who attacked her as soon as they failed to come to a consensus, she said wryly, “Commander, I already took my shower.”
“You’re sweating, I would have thought you were feeling hot,” Shen Chengfeng strode towards her purposefully. His intentions were clear; he was getting more and more curious as to what unspeakable illness that Xiao Jing had.
Xiao Jing darted to the left and the right, in a bid to avoid contact with Shen Chengfeng. But she had barely evaded him when she felt a tug at her waist. There was a gloved hand pulling at her clothes, causing her to fall backward.
With minimal effort, Shen Chengfeng managed to gain the upper hand and had successfully captured the misbehaving little soldier, stopping her from going anywhere else.
Facedown and arms pinned at her back, Xiao Jing was rendered immobile.
Pinning down the struggling Xiao Jing, Shen Chengfeng said flatly, “I can tell that you’re pretty agile. It’s a pity that you don’t have enough physical strength. Maybe in time, you’ll be on par with Mu Xichi and the rest.”
“Don’t make fun of me, Commander. I’m only here for a shower. Is it necessary to treat me like this?” asked Xiao Jing as she attempted to escape his grip.
Shen Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and grasped the collar of her clothes with one of his hands. The top she was wearing would immediately be torn to pieces if he were to apply any force.
“Alright, Commander, I admit defeat. I’ll strip. I’ll remove my clothes. Please let me retain some dignity,” Xiao Jing kept twisting about, trying to escape his hold like a slippery loach.
Shen Chengfeng finally released his grip on Xiao Jing and stood up. “I will give you a chance,” he said, as he stared intensely at her.
Having regained her freedom, Xiao Jing stood up, panting breathlessly. She kept her back arched, and both her hands on her knees. From where she was standing, it was about ten meters to the door. Based on her current abilities, she could run eleven meters per second, so she would be able to make it out of the door, in the blink of an eye.
“Who do you think would be faster? Me or you? Do you think you’re faster than my hands?” Shen Chengfeng removed his gloves, making clear his sinister intentions.
Taken aback, Xiao Jing furrowed her brows. She was sure that as soon as she moved, the man would have no qualms about ruthlessly destroying her clothes with his bare hands.
It would be awkward if her clothes got corroded.
A man and a woman, alone in an enclosed space such as the shower room, baring it all.
If that happened, there was no way she would be able to dispel any suspicion that something was going on between her and her Commander.
Hang on. What the heck was she thinking? Was it the time to think about how great their bodies were?
What should she do?
She was going to be in trouble either way, whether or not she took off her clothes.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, a third voice suddenly rang out from behind the door. “What are the two of you doing?” The owner of the voice was as swift as a ninja. The next second, he was already standing between the two of them like a protective screen.
Xiao Hong stared blankly at Shen Chengfeng, who only had a cape around his waist, then glanced at the disheveled Xiao Jing. “I went to look for you at the dormitory, but couldn’t find you. I didn’t expect you to be here. Do you intend to take a shower?” he asked with a frown.
Xiao Jing held tightly onto her lifesaver, and quickly answered him, “I have already taken my shower.”
“Let’s head out then since you’re done with your shower. There’s something I need to talk to you about.”
“Hang on,” Shen Chengfeng didn’t seem to want to let the two of them leave just like that, and made his way over to where they were standing.
Xiao Jing carefully adjusted her body, hoping that Xiao Hong would be able to protect her from her over-enthusiastic Commander.
She planned to search online after returning to her room: “What should I do if my Commander is too passionate and always wants to take my clothes off?”
Xiao Zheng extended a hand to stop Shen Chengfeng from getting any nearer. “Please get to the point, General Shen,” he said firmly.
“The Xiao family seems to be visiting Steel Eagle far too often.”
“Do I need to ask you for your approval before visiting my fourth brother?”

“The army has its regulations. As the Second Master of the Xiao family, I’m sure you understand that nothing could be accomplished without norms or standards. My iron law is that only related personnel are allowed to enter the camp. The Xiao family has broken this rule on numerous occasions, and this makes things very difficult for me. After all, the relationship between the Xiao and Shen family isn’t as friendly as it appears to be.”
“Is that why you are taking it out on my fourth brother?” Xiao Hong eyed Xiao Jing from the corner of his eye, who was currently hiding behind him with bated breath. It was not difficult to tell how fearful she was.
“Yup, you are right to say that. This is how overbearing I am,” Shen Chengfeng said with a shrug, clearly not bothering to hide his intentions or make any excuses.
Xiao Jing was taken aback. Did Shen Chengfeng just admit that he was picking on her for a reason?
“It doesn’t matter what the Xiao family thinks or says. Xiao Jing is already one of mine. If you want to bring him back with you, you have to defeat me first,” stated Shen Chengfeng, who was already launching a preemptive attack against Xiao Hong.
