Xiao Jing’s huge eyeballs flashed as her line of sight looked downwards. When she did, it just so happened that her sight fell on the man’s trousers that seemed to have loosened and could fall down at any time.

The man, who was still motionlessly standing in his original position, seemed to have taken interest in the soldier who suddenly appeared and locked the front door of the bathhouse.

“Sir!” Xiao Jing got her composure back and hastily stood up in a military posture.

The zongzi man directly turned off the shower using the back of his hand, and his vision fell down to the water that gathered at his feet. His voice was lukewarm as he asked, “Ready to bathe?”

Xiao Jing was at a loss for words.

Should I answer yes, or no? If I say yes, then doesn’t that mean that I must undress in front of him? If I answer no, then what am I doing here? Peeking at the superior while he’s bathing? How shameful!’

The zongzi man did not hear a reply, so he lifted his head, and two pairs of eyes met each other.

Cold. That is the first reaction of Xiao Jing upon looking at such pair of eyes. It is as clear as day that it was so hot and bright outside the window, but at this moment, she suddenly feels hungry and cold, as if her heart is like dying embers.

“Take off your clothes.” After his voice fell, the zongzi man stopped talking and did not bother to look at her anymore. He directly pulled off his trousers, and opened the shower.

“…” Xiao Jing’s body went stiff and is unable to move a single step. There are countless of excuses running through her mind. She would rather go against the law or be a pervert than expose her true identity.

The man hangs his trousers on the clothes rack to dry in the air. His eyes flickered and fell on the other party’s body. “Could it be that your body is really as Xiao Ye had mentioned, there is a secret illness?”

“What?” Xiao Jing was stunned and did not understand the implied meaning of his words.

The man spread out his hand and let the cold water fall into the hollow of his palm, and suddenly the cold water boiled up. His tone dropped as he said, “I am quite curious as to what kind of secret illness will make you easily frightened and be nervous.”

Xiao Jing staggered a single step, and inwardly felt the impending crisis. This is definitely a matter of life and death. It is entirely possible for this person to immediately peel her off just to get an answer.

“I don’t have a secret illness. I just admire you.” Xiao Jing thoughtlessly blurted out as she smashed a cracked pot. {T/N: idiom. crazy despair in the face of a blemish, defect, error or setback}

“Hmm?” The man turned his head back and his gaze was sharp, like he is looking at an idiotic person. He looked at Xiao Jing, who said such words, in this manner.

“I heard the captain say that this time, you are going to pick a competent person, so I intend to volunteer myself.” Xiao Jing raised her head and uttered those words that are filled with indignation.

“You are recommending yourself?” The man repeated her words.

Xiao Jing nodded in a hurry. “Yes, you are already aware that I am a child of the Xiao Family. My family’s generations have always produced generals and I refuse to admit that I am inferior. When one feels resentment, one strives to become stronger. Since you are the leader of one of the special forces team and since you recognize my identity, might as well accept me. I will spare no effort to serve this country!”
