Qin Island. The Sea Sail Hotel. Late at night.

"Want to take a shower?"

Lin Shen gently brushed aside Jiang Wan’s messy hair, revealing her charming, flushed face.

He gently caressed her fair skin, teasing her comfortingly.

"I told you to let me do the work. Look at you, trying to be a hero."

"I’m your senior, and I’m older than you. Of course, it had to be me."

Jiang Wan looked up and shot Lin Shen a shy glare.

"You go wash up first. I need to rest a bit longer."

"Alright."

Lin Shen rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom.

SPLASH—!

As the warm water streamed over his body, Lin Shen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, the corners of his mouth turning up in a slight smile.

This was a side of her he’d never seen before, and he couldn’t help but marvel at it.

’On the surface, Jiang Wan always seemed like a gentle, understanding older-sister type, but deep down, she clearly had some hidden traits!’

Especially that defiant look in her eyes, as if she was the one in control. It had even made Lin Shen feel a little insecure.

’Wait, aren’t I supposed to be the hunter tonight?’

’How did I end up being the prey...?’

Lin Shen turned off the water, about to wash his hair, when a sudden knock came from outside the steamy bathroom door.

KNOCK KNOCK—!

"Want some company?"

Huh?

Lin Shen froze, hearing Jiang Wan’s quiet question.

Every woman Lin Shen had been with before was completely exhausted afterward, and Jiang Wan had been the same just moments ago.

’How did she recover so quickly?’

A sense of awe flickered in his heart, and he immediately pulled open the frosted glass door.

Jiang Wan was standing there, looking utterly charming. Her soft hair was pinned up, revealing a fair, elegant, swan-like neck.

A trace of exhaustion still lingered on her brow, but her eyes, curved into crescents, sparkled with unparalleled excitement. She looked almost... lecherous.

"Hey junior, I’m coming in~"

’Have our roles been reversed or something?!’

Lin Shen complained fiercely in his head. After Jiang Wan stepped into the bathroom and closed the door, he reached out, pinched her cheek, and chuckled.

"You holding up okay?"

"Do I look like I’m okay?"

Lin Shen glanced down at her, then scratched his head apologetically.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away."

"It’s okay. It’s my fault as your senior for indulging you."

Jiang Wan quickly threw herself into Lin Shen’s arms, wrapping her own around his waist. Her soft, charming voice was laced with a hint of shyness.

"Of course, I also underestimated you."

"No, it’s that you were too confident."

As Lin Shen stroked Jiang Wan’s smooth, delicate back, he suddenly noticed her hands had started to wander again, resting on his chest and abs.

It was only then that Lin Shen realized the real reason this gentle "big sister" had so proactively joined him in the shower was just so she could touch his pecs and abs!

’No wonder she was being so bold!’

Lin Shen gave a helpless smile and turned the shower back on.

As the warm water splashed down on them, Jiang Wan’s delicate body trembled, and an involuntary gasp escaped her lips.

"It’s cold!"

’You think this is cold?’

Lin Shen was taken aback and quickly went to turn up the temperature, but Jiang Wan twisted the knob back.

"It’s fine. Let me wash you first!"

With that, Jiang Wan grabbed a loofah, wet it, and lathered it with soap until it was full of bubbles. She stared intently at Lin Shen’s chest and abs, her eyes gleaming so brightly it looked like she was about to drool.

"Lin Shen, how on earth did you build these muscles? They feel completely different from those gym buffs. I love yours so much!"

"They’re too focused on sculpting their body lines," Lin Shen explained with a smile.

"Mine are more of a natural, normal state."

"They’re really nice, hehe."

Perhaps feeling that her relationship with Lin Shen had reached a deeper level, Jiang Wan no longer intended to hide certain long-suppressed aspects of her personality.

For instance: her inner perv.

While using the loofah to soap him up, her other hand reached out to caress his well-defined pecs and abs.

She lightly licked her lips, looking as if she could never get enough of his body.

Seeing this, a surprising idea suddenly flashed through Lin Shen’s mind.

Jiang Wan looked up in confusion, and Lin Shen leaned close to her ear and whispered with a chuckle.

"..."

Huh?

The moment Jiang Wan heard him, she instantly understood what he meant. She shot him an annoyed, blushing glare, then poked his forehead and said coquettishly,

"You really think your senior is that easy to bully, huh!"

"I just thought it would be more convenient this way," Lin Shen explained with a perfectly straight face.

"Oh, really! How dare you tease your senior!"

Jiang Wan stood on her tiptoes, her pretty face flushed red, and gave Lin Shen’s ear a twist.

She didn’t use much force, though. It was just for show, a way to maintain her dignity as his senior.

But Lin Shen clutched his ear and cried out in mock pain.

"Ow! Ow, ow, ow!"

"I barely even twisted it!"

Jiang Wan sighed helplessly, hands on her hips. Seeing his clownish act, she felt a deep sense of happiness well up inside her and, without much hesitation, agreed to his willful request.

"Alright, alright, I’ll do it."

"Then I’ll have to trouble you, senior."

"It’s no trouble. It’s quite ’convenient,’ in fact."

...

Even though Jiang Wan had a gentle personality, he couldn’t have been sure she wouldn’t get angry when he made such a request.

And yet, she had agreed so easily, almost as if she had already figured out what he was really thinking.

It was like she was a mind reader, knowing exactly what was on his mind.

’She understands people way too well!’

Lin Shen couldn’t help but marvel.

She really lived up to her "perfect personality score" as the gentle, older-sister type in the Goddess Conquest Manual.

The GOAT!

「Half an hour later.」

12:30 AM.

At first, the atmosphere in the bathroom as Lin Shen and Jiang Wan showered together was quite harmonious and pleasant.
