Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 54: A Spider (Part 1)


"Chu Ge, there's something on Xiaoran's body..."

"Feifei!"

Mo Xiaoran shook her head at Feifei, who then turned her gaze to Chu Ge, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by the blushing Mo Xiaoran.

Such an embarrassing situation—how could she let Chu Ge know? Even if Xia Feifei helped her explain, she still felt a bit uneasy.

But given the current situation, who else could she talk to if not Chu Ge? Despite the girls in this office being all chatty and cheerful usually, they actually had quite small courage; even Xia Feifei was no exception.

As for the men... there were only three guys in the Operation Management Department office: Minister Ji Songtao, Lu Gang, and Chu Ge.

Among these three men, Mo Xiaoran could and would only choose Chu Ge. After all, she had a particularly good impression of Chu Ge and had gained a significant amount of trust in him through previous incidents.

Seeing Mo Xiaoran's embarrassed look, Chu Ge hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiaoran, is that spider still inside your clothes?"

Having the matter bluntly addressed by Chu Ge, Mo Xiaoran turned even redder. However, with the spider crawling all over her, she really felt uncomfortable and disgusted, and so she bit her lip and gave a gentle "um".

Turning his gaze to Feifei, Chu Ge was no longer in the mood for jokes with her, and frowned, saying, "Feifei, now is not the time to joke around. Many spiders carry toxins. Quickly help Xiaoran get the spider out. It's just a spider, after all, isn't it?"

Feifei's sly smile turned into a wry smile, "Chu Ge, to be honest, I wasn't deliberately trying to joke around with you two. I know when enough is enough, but I... I'm just too afraid to touch that thing. Just seeing a spider makes my scalp tingle, let alone touching one."

Chu Ge looked into Feifei's eyes, and his eye twitched slightly, speechless inside. However, he knew she was probably telling the truth, and so, helpless, he looked around at the other girls in the office, only to find the same result—everyone he looked at returned his gaze with a wry smile and a head shake.

Just as Chu Ge was feeling conflicted, Mo Xiaoran's body suddenly shivered again, almost to the point of tears. Despite her embarrassment and reluctance to directly ask for Chu Ge's help, she still gave him a pleading look.

Seeing Mo Xiaoran's discomfort, Chu Ge genuinely felt a twinge of pity, but the problem was that as a man, it was quite inconvenient for him to handle this kind of situation.

Moreover, even if the spider had fallen into Xia Feifei's shirt, he wouldn't be as conflicted. But the spider just had to fall into Mo Xiaoran's clothes.

Everyone knew how shy Mo Xiaoran was, as thin-skinned as paper. If he really did help her get the spider out, he wondered if she might faint from embarrassment.

Working in the same office, constantly seeing each other, how awkward would it become?

"Feifei, aren't you usually quite brave? Just grab a tissue, grab it, and toss it," Chu Ge frowned, once again focusing his gaze on Feifei, his tone now tinged with slight reprimand.

"I... I really can't. Well, I need to use the restroom."

Seeing that Chu Ge seemed a bit upset, Feifei's wry smile deepened as she quickly excused herself and jogged out of the office.

"Chu... Chu Ge, I..."

With the spider crawling all over her, Mo Xiaoran finally couldn't take it anymore. Although she was embarrassed to the point of wanting to find a hole to hide in, she finally spoke to Chu Ge.

"Chu Ge, please help Xiaoran, she won't blame you."

"Yeah, Chu Ge, stop hesitating."

With Mo Xiaoran's pitiful gaze upon him and the urging of the surrounding people, Chu Ge realized this wasn't the time to be squeamish. If the spider were truly poisonous and bit Mo Xiaoran, the situation would worsen exponentially.

"Xiaoran, where is the spider?"

Mo Xiaoran's face flushed crimson as she bit her lip tightly. Even though she really wanted Chu Ge's help, the place where the spider was hiding was just too embarrassing to mention.

Upon seeing Mo Xiaoran's expression, Chu Ge quickly understood the situation. He turned his head to glance at the slightly ajar door of Minister Ji Songtao's office, then grabbed Mo Xiaoran's hand and strode towards the office.

Watching Chu Ge and Mo Xiaoran, Lu Gang was filled with envy, but he knew full well that, even if Chu Ge weren't there, this kind of thing would never fall to him.

In the extreme case that Mo Xiaoran really asked him for help, he would be like the other girls and not dare to touch the furry spider.

Once inside the Minister's office, it was just Chu Ge and Mo Xiaoran left in the room.

"Xiaoran, it's just us now. Where exactly is the spider?"

"It's... it's here." Mo Xiaoran pointed to her own collar and said with difficulty, then tightly pursed her lips.

Looking closely at Mo Xiaoran's body, one could vaguely see the spider's crawling path, leaving him speechless.

Could it be that this spider was a pervert reincarnated?

Chu Ge was really conflicted. Although this situation wouldn't cause him any loss, it was different for the girl. They all worked in the same office, and Mo Xiaoran was quite thin-skinned. They would be working together every day in the future, and seeing each other all the time could be so awkward for her.

But despite the difficulty, it wasn't a situation where he could avoid acting. Chu Ge didn't have any inappropriate thoughts, so he could only cough twice and look at her with a very upright gaze.

"Xiaoran, I'll go ahead then. Sit on the sofa and don't be nervous, it'll be over soon."

Mo Xiaoran raised her head, meeting Chu Ge's gaze. Seeing his eyes straightforward with no hint of mischief, she still felt embarrassed enough to want to find a hole to hide in, but her original nervousness and panic were somewhat eased.

Mo Xiaoran hesitated for two seconds and finally gave a mosquito-like hum of agreement, pursing her lips and nodding, then sat down on the office sofa.

Mo Xiaoran was sitting, and Chu Ge was standing. He took a deep breath, swallowed, and raised his right hand, quickly reaching towards Mo Xiaoran.

However, what he didn't expect was that the spider acted as if it was sentient. As soon as he lifted his hand, it scurried away with its eight slender legs.

Mo Xiaoran screamed, "Ah," and her body trembled violently.

Chu Ge's eyelid twitched as well, his raised hand hovered in the air and ultimately didn't come down.

Chu Ge was speechless. With the spider's current location, if it was inconvenient before, it was absolutely inconvenient now.

But no matter how inconvenient it was, this was no time to hesitate. If the spider bit Mo Xiaoran, that would be terrible. After all, many spiders are poisonous, and even if not, they're at least very disgusting, right?

"Xiaoran, could you... stop moving? Also, can you unbutton a couple of buttons? Otherwise, I definitely can't reach it."

Mo Xiaoran was extremely embarrassed at this moment. Although she knew Chu Ge was absolutely right, she still felt very awkward.

She really had a strong urge to get rid of the spider herself, but when she tried to muster the courage and lifted her hand, the spider seemed to sense danger and scurried a few more steps.

Feeling the spider's hairy legs crawling on her body, Mo Xiaoran's courage vanished instantly.

Faced with such an awkward situation, Mo Xiaoran was close to tears, but letting the spider stay was not an option. She nodded pitifully and placed her hand on one of her shirt's buttons.

"I... alright, Chu Ge, can you... close your eyes."

Chu Ge sweated a bit and said helplessly, "I could close my eyes, but if I can't see, how will I aim?"

"You... just close them, please. I'll guide your hand to help... help me."

"Alright, alright, I'll close them." Seeing Mo Xiaoran like this, Chu Ge didn't argue further and just closed his eyes.

Mo Xiaoran frantically raised her hand and waved it in front of Chu Ge's face. Only when she saw no reaction did she with trembling hands begin to unbutton her shirt: one, two, three buttons.

In fact, when Mo Xiaoran waved her hand in front of Chu Ge's face, he immediately sensed the air movement and knew she was checking if his eyes were tightly shut. He couldn't help thinking with resignation, did she really not trust him?

But on second thought, Chu Ge let it go. After all, he and Mo Xiaoran had just met, and given her shy and conservative nature, allowing him to help was already a huge act of trust in him, so her actions were understandable.

As the rustling sound reached Chu Ge's ears, Mo Xiaoran, suppressing her embarrassment, slowly extended her hand towards Chu Ge's large hand.

When Mo Xiaoran grabbed Chu Ge's right wrist, he could clearly feel her inner struggle, hesitation, and helplessness, leaving him speechless and also a bit emotional.

What left him speechless was that it was just a spider; did it really scare her that much?

What left him emotional was that such a shy and timid girl was really rare in today's society.

"Xiaoran, it's okay, don't be nervous. Don't worry, I definitely won't open my eyes."

Chu Ge reassured Mo Xiaoran, and she gently responded with an "um," tightly pursing her lips. Holding his right wrist, she slowly and cautiously moved it towards that pesky spider on her body.
