Chapter 34 The Age of Frequent Baths

“Shen… Shen Xiaoxi—did the toad jump near us?”
“No!”
His voice—hoarse, sharp—like torn.
“Then why do I feel…”
She reached down—he pushed her away, sprinting to the villa. She sat dazed on the grass, hair wild in the wind.
After a while—she realized:
“Shen Xiaoxi—you jerk! Left me and our child! Cheater!”
She cursed, wobbling up—afraid to step on the toad. Turning—she saw a terrifying sight.
The sky’s falling!
San Hua—playing with the toad!
“Ahhhhh!”
Help—suddenly wanted to throw her away!
Finally, “motherly love” overcame fear/disgust. She scooped up San Hua, running. “Good child—too ugly. Let’s not play with it!”
Backyard of the villa.
The butler passed—saw servants chatting near the garden.
“Why aren’t you resting? It’s almost 10 PM.”
“Hi.” A servant smiled. “I came to water madam’s parrot—saw a shadow. Thought thief—turned out it’s young master! He took the prettiest kitten momma Mao Qiu had.”
“Kitten?” The butler wondered. “Why’d he take it?”
He never liked pets—suddenly changed? Sneaking a stray momma often fed, late at night.
They talked—saw Su Niansheng.
She came from the garden—holding San Hua, cooing, waving.
Case solved!
They laughed.
“To coax Miss Xiaoqian!”
“Love for the house, love for the crow.”
“No surprise…”
“Wash little paws—then settle scores with that cheater!”
She went to the pond—about to clean San Hua. The butler approached. “Miss Xiaoqian—need help?”
“Fine—I’ll handle it. Where’s Shen Xiaoxi?”
“Young master went upstairs—showering.”
What?
She fumed!
He ran so fast—not scared of toads, but to shower?! Disgusted by garden dirt—or her?
Too much!
Need to teach him a lesson!
But not now—afraid of repeating last night.
She washed San Hua’s paws—sat on the sofa, waiting. At first happy—after 10, 20 minutes… nearly an hour—patience wore thin.
Shen Xiaoxi still not out!
“Germaphobe? A guy—showering so long!”
The butler was confused.
Usually—he showers under 30 minutes. Odd today—and his earlier mood was off, aura low—like holding back.
“Ah~”
She yawned, stretching.
Coincidentally—he came out, catching a glimpse of her exposed waist.
Pale, slender—tempting to break. Touch—soft, irresistible.
The “bad” feeling returned.
Shen Junxi’s brows furrowed—dark desire swirling. Thoughts of unleashing on her, like in the bathroom fantasies.
“Shen Xiaoxi!” She lit up, standing. “You’re out! Cheater—left me and the kitten with the toad…”
Wait!
Thinking of toads—she remembered:
When getting up—San Hua played with the toad. What did she feel under her?
Before she figured—he went back to the bathroom.
“You? Why shower again?!”
The butler, seeing her expression—”…” Oh, right.
No wonder—nineteen, vigorous. Easily aroused. Understandable—wonder if Miss Xiaoqian is joy or torture for him.
Kyoto University.
Forum—three days, a hot topic:
Su Niansheng takes Economic Thinking—deskmate with Young Master Shen!
[First time seeing a girl next to him!]
[More surprising—an art student in Professor Feng’s class? Jumped in mid-term! Because of him?]
[Who else? Only he talks to Professor Feng.]
[Wow—he’s special to her? My dead ship sails again?]
[Not yet—she chased Shiyu Bai before. Now close to him—rare.]
[How close? Heard they’re intimate. Too bad no photos in Professor Feng’s class—I dare not shoot the heir.]
[For real? Is he chasing her?]
[Impossible—heir to Shen Group, many suitors (rich & beautiful). Why her?]
[Exactly—class divide!]
[Why not? Her top-tier beauty is rare!]
Lin Yixuan saw the post—nearly crushed her phone.
She fell before him—he ignored. Now he put Su Niansheng in Professor Feng’s class!
That vixen—what tricks did she use!
