Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 911 - 910: How Should We Bathe?

Chu Ge pondered for a moment, raised his hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, and asked Chu Shiyao a few questions he was concerned about, such as the situation in Chu Chengrui's family, the relationships between members, and whether she had seen or heard anything noteworthy.Chu Shiyao had paid attention to all the things Chu Ge asked about. In fact, she wanted to know more, but unfortunately, apart from Chu Chengrui, she seldom had any contact with other people in the Chu Family. During her time in the Chu Family in Beijing, she didn't find any clues.

"Brother Chu, what do you think I should do now? Just staying by Chu Chengrui's side makes me really uneasy. Every time I see him, I think of my father's last words. Even if he found me just to let me recognize my ancestors and return to my roots, I've been used to living on my own for so many years. Suddenly asking me to live the life of a young lady, I feel so uncomfortable."

"Here's the thing, about your freedom issue, I'll try to negotiate with Chu Chengrui, at least to ensure your right to contact the outside world. This could be a way to test him and see how he reacts."

"Yes, yes! Not being able to make a single phone call is really killing me!"

"Also, when I'm not around, I hope you can be a little nicer to Chu Chengrui, don't always give him the cold shoulder."

Upon hearing this, Chu Shiyao was taken aback, "Eh? Brother Chu? What... do you mean by this?"

"Just what it sounds like." Chu Ge smiled faintly, "You understand the purpose he's seeking me for, right? Only by making him feel that your attitude toward him has changed due to our interactions, will he place greater hope on me. This means I have more influence in front of him to help you achieve more of what you want."

"That's true..." Chu Shiyao forced a smile, "But when I see him, it's really hard to smile, sigh."

"Of course, you don't need to cater to him excessively either. Just take it step by step. If your attitude changes too quickly and noticeably, it's too fake, right?"

"Yeah, I got it, I'll try my best." Chu Shiyao scratched her head, stomping her foot helplessly, "Ugh, this is really troublesome."

"Ahem, actually, it's not that troublesome. I think you have a knack for acting, don't you?"

Chu Ge was referring to the affectionate display Chu Shiyao put on when she met him at the airport. Of course, Chu Shiyao understood this, and gave a cheeky laugh, feeling as embarrassed as Chu Ge trying to hide his awkwardness with a cough.

They were just putting on a little show, but it ended up being seen by Chu Ge's wife, which made her feel quite guilty.

Thinking of this, Chu Shiyao couldn't help but say, "Brother Chu, do you think... about your wife, sigh, she must be very angry now, it's all my fault, I'm really sorry."

Although Chu Ge also found the situation quite distressing, he didn't blame Chu Shiyao at all. He could only blame the coincidence of the situation. Since Chu Shiyao mentioned it, he thought it better to talk about it to ease her mind.

Seeing the childlike face of Chu Shiyao full of apologies, Chu Ge casually shook his head with a smile, "Yaoyao, don't worry, it's really nothing. You have no idea, the bond between my wife and me is really solid. Even if there's a misunderstanding, it will be resolved quickly."

Though Chu Ge spoke lightly, Chu Shiyao was still very anxious, "But... but at the time, your wife looked really angry. If I didn't hear wrong, when you greeted her, she even said she mistook someone else for you."

"That's because..." Chu Ge smiled awkwardly, scratching his head, "Alright, let's talk about this later. Um, let's continue discussing about Chu Chengrui."

Feeling a bit awkward, Chu Shiyao stuck out her tongue and nodded, "Okay."

Chu Ge was a bit lost after being interrupted by Chu Shiyao, "Right, where were we just now?"

Chu Shiyao thought for a moment and said, "Oh, you were talking about my knack for acting."

"Yes, yes, you have a knack for acting." Chu Ge adjusted his thoughts and continued, "Moreover, if Chu Chengrui wanted to do anything to you, he would've likely done it already. Since he specifically asked you to come here to meet me, he probably won't do anything to you in the short term."

"Besides, we can't be certain yet that Chu Chengrui has any ulterior motives. What if he genuinely just wants to be good to you? Being a little nicer to him wouldn't harm, right?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Chu is, of course, right. Anyway, with you around, I feel much more at ease. Let's proceed as you say. I'll observe for now!"

Chu Ge nodded with a smile, "Alright then. I'll check you over again later to see if there are any bugs on you. If there are any, just don't reveal it in front of Chu Chengrui. Just behave normally, but keep a closer eye out."

"Okay, then should we take a bath now?"

"Huh? What did you say? You really want to take a bath?"

It was Chu Ge's turn to be a bit stunned. He had brought Chu Shiyao here purely to find a convenient place to chat. He really didn't expect her to say something like that.

Chu Shiyao naturally gave a bright smile, "Of course, since we're here and the money's spent, even if it's Chu Chengrui's money, if we don't take a bath, it feels like a waste. I've never bathed in such a high-end place before, might as well enjoy it."

"Uh, but this... isn't it a bit inconvenient?"

Chu Ge's eyes twitched a couple of times, and he raised his hand to scratch his head.

Chu Shiyao playfully punched Chu Ge, "Brother Chu, what are you thinking? I said I wanted to take a shower, not that we'd shower together. If we take turns, what's inconvenient about that? Besides, even if we don't, there are so many facilities here; we could just wash separately, back to back."

Chu Ge broke into a sweat, realizing that this was what she meant. Indeed, as Chu Shiyao said, there was theoretically no issue.

"Then you go first, I'll wait outside."

Chu Ge gave an awkward smile and was about to turn around when Chu Shiyao suddenly leaned over, giggling mischievously, "If you really want to shower with me..."

Chu Ge's eye twitched again, thinking that after not seeing Chu Shiyao for so long, she was still so fond of joking with him.

"That's definitely not happening!" Chu Shiyao laughed out loud, suddenly pushing Chu Ge, "Alright, alright, Brother Chu, hurry up and leave, bye~"

Chu Ge rolled his eyes helplessly, flicked Chu Shiyao's forehead with his hand, and then turned to walk out.

After just a couple of steps, Chu Ge paused and suddenly realized something. He had been so focused on Chu Shiyao's fantastic figure that he forgot something important.

The way he and Chu Shiyao were acting so close, if he returned to the changing room alone now, and when Chu Shiyao called him to shower, if there was really a bug in her clothes, wouldn't that expose everything?

"Yaoyao, I think I..."

With that thought in mind, Chu Ge turned around, but half of his words got swallowed back down.

His gaze fell on Chu Shiyao, who had her hand on the robe's belt. Even when he turned around, her hand continued to slowly untie the belt.

Chu Shiyao asked with a sweet smile, "Brother Chu, what did you think of?"

Chu Ge originally wanted to turn back around right away, but hearing Chu Shiyao's question, his mouth twitched. He wondered what Chu Shiyao was really up to. If she continued to untie that robe's belt, she'd soon be exposed, so why was she smiling so sweetly? Could it be she...

"Ah! You, you..."

Chu Ge was deeply conflicted when suddenly a highly pitched scream came from the side. The smile on Chu Shiyao's face turned to panic as she hurriedly retied the almost undone robe's belt tightly.

Damn! So after all this, it was Chu Shiyao's natural denseness acting up, and she just now realized it?

Black lines appeared on Chu Ge's forehead, tumbling down, leaving him speechless. Despite that, he didn't hesitate to take a quick step towards her, covering Chu Shiyao's mouth just as she was about to scream louder.

If there was a bug in the changing room locker, normal talking might not be transmitted, but if Chu Shiyao screamed, that would be a different story.

With her mouth covered, Chu Shiyao's pupils suddenly shrank, and instinctively she kneed towards Chu Ge's lower region. Chu Ge quickly used his other hand to block it.

Chu Ge felt even more speechless. As he was about to explain, he saw Chu Shiyao slip, lose her balance, and fall backward towards the floor.

Feeling utterly helpless, Chu Ge knew he couldn't remove his right hand covering Chu Shiyao's mouth, or her scream would certainly echo throughout the suite.

So he could only lean forward in sync with Chu Shiyao's backward fall, stabilize her by grabbing her hand, and then make a shushing gesture to her, saying, "Yaoyao, calm down."

Hearing Chu Ge's voice, Chu Shiyao finally calmed a bit. She blinked and nodded slightly after a brief pause.

Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief and explained what he had realized earlier.

"Oh, right, how did I not think of that? This is really an issue," Chu Shiyao acknowledged with a nod. "Brother Chu, you're quick-witted, impressive, impressive."

Chu Ge gave an apologetic yet helpless smile, "Sorry about earlier, I didn't expect you to undress so quickly. You're treating me too much as an insider, aren't you?"

"But you aren't really an outsider," Chu Shiyao stuck her tongue out. "Besides, I almost kicked you earlier, so I should be the one to apologize. Now... how do you suggest we take this shower?"
