Chapter 151: Does It Look Good?
Many men share a common experience when accompanying a girl, which is waiting.
Grooming, changing clothes and applying makeup, girls often take a long time before going out. Although Lu Qi needed to dress up nicely today, her control of time was extremely precise.
After confirming with those text messages, Wang Heng set off for the hotel where she was staying, which took more than an hour on the way. This time was already completely sufficient for Lu Qi.
Arriving downstairs at the hotel, Wang Heng sent a text message telling her: 【Sister Lu, I’ve arrived.】
Then, less than two minutes later, that pretty figure appeared at the hotel doorway.
Although Lu Qi still had short hair now, compared to when they first met a few months ago, it was slightly longer, and after careful grooming, she looked cold and glamorous yet handsome.
Today she wore a beige dress, with a black belt tightening at the waist, outlining her well-proportioned figure. Under the skirt, black pantyhose provided warmth while making those long legs appear even more slender. Of course, that pair of high-heeled boots also had a similar effect.
Lu Qi walked over gracefully, carrying a small bag. The style of the bag was distinctly different from the one she usually carried at the company, with much stronger feminine vibes.
Coming closer, he could see more clearly, so Wang Heng also noticed that today’s Lu Qi was different from her usual self from head to toe. For example, although she would apply makeup at work in the company, it was always the simplest base makeup. But today, she had eyeshadow. The eyeshadow wasn’t too heavy, but it was quite effective in highlighting her temperament.
From clothing to makeup, today’s Lu Qi exuded a cold glamour like a flower on a high mountain. But when she came before Wang Heng, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, revealing a smile like that of a neighborly older sister.
“I’ve booked a taxi, let’s wait here for a bit?”
After saying that, Lu Qi realized that the boy in front of her seemed to have changed a bit too.
She clearly remembered Wang Heng’s flustered and at-a-loss appearance last night; that state was clearly that of a pure innocent boy who had never held hands with a girl.
But now, Wang Heng was calm and composed, with clear eyes, showing no sign of awkwardness.
“No problem, today Sister Lu is treating, it’s all up to you.” He also said with a smile.
This performance, completely different from last night, made Lu Qi slightly puzzled. However, she still said the line she had thought of beforehand.
“Do you think… it looks good?”
Wang Heng gave a thumbs up: “Of course, Sister Lu is beautiful!”

When Wang Heng and Lu Qi arrived at Akihabara, it was a sunny morning. Perhaps because it wasn’t a weekend holiday, there weren’t as many pedestrians on the street as in the photos, which actually made it more suitable for walking around.
Entering it, the first things visible were various signs selling electronics, and further in, the two-dimensional related signs became dense.
Suddenly, Lu Qi asked: “Do you usually watch anime?”
For this question, Wang Heng had prepared beforehand. When discussing anime, music, movies, games and such entertainment works, he knew that as long as he talked about the ones he liked, he could probably score points with Lu Qi. Although he didn’t plan to passively avoid it, actively brushing up favorability… was still a bit much.
So he calmly replied: “I’ve watched a lot, but nothing particularly favorites.”
Lu Qi asked again: “Then do you have anything you’re particularly interested in?”
Wang Heng thought for a moment and decisively said: “Money.”
Lu Qi: “…”
This topic seemed a bit hard to continue.
After walking a bit further, seeing a shop on the roadside, Lu Qi’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she pressed down on the shoulder of the boy beside her.
“somap, I wonder how many games they have here. The 3DS cartridges are quite complete here.”
After saying that, Lu Qi turned back to look at him, as if waiting for his response.
Wang Heng: “Is there a problem?”
Lu Qi: “You know what 3DS is, right?”
Wang Heng: “A handheld game console, claimed to have naked-eye 3D, but it doesn’t really do much.”
Lu Qi examined his expression and asked again: “What do you think about girls playing games?”
“Does it need any particular view?” Wang Heng shrugged, “Playing games is an entertainment activity, anyone can do it. It’s not only boys who like games, not to mention girls, even old ladies can get addicted to games.”
Lu Qi smiled: “You’re not surprised by anything.”
Wang Heng: “Yeah, because there’s nothing surprising about it. And Sister Lu, your main job is making games, so being interested in these is totally normal.”
Lu Qi: “Then accompany me inside to browse?”
Wang Heng: “You’re treating, you decide.”
So the two walked into the shop and browsed aimlessly. Although Lu Qi mentioned that game console before coming in, there were obviously many other things that caught her interest.
After browsing for a while, Lu Qi suddenly asked: “You seem to have just been following me all along, is there nothing here that interests you? Even if your interest is earning money, you must play games sometimes usually, right?”
Wang Heng: “But I haven’t played much recently. By the way, Sister Lu, you’re just looking without buying?”
“I have to take a plane back home, too many things are inconvenient, so my strategy is to browse widely first, then make choices…” Halfway through, Lu Qi noticed a small stall of otaku merchandise next to her, and casually picked up a pair of fox ear hair accessories.
The older sister type put the fox ears on her head, turned to Wang Heng, and pointed at herself: “Does it look good?”
Wang Heng swallowed.
It was a pair of black fox ears, with quite fine workmanship, and white fluff inside the black outer ear. Perfectly, Lu Qi’s outfit today was also black and white, making this fox ear accessory even more suitable for her.
Elegant yet sly, beautiful yet clever, the older sister type’s appearance also carried a hint of a young girl’s sweetness; this temperament was especially eye-catching with the addition of the fox ears… How had he not noticed before that fox ears suited her so well!
Wang Heng forced himself to stay calm and said: “It’s fine, looks good.”
Lu Qi smiled charmingly: “Then, I’ll take this one.”

Nearly an hour later, Lu Qi and Wang Heng came out of that large shop that occupied several floors, with two large paper bags added. All these things were purchased by Lu Qi, but when carrying them, Wang Heng helped share the weight of one paper bag.
Standing on the street side, Lu Qi suddenly asked: “What do you want to eat for noon?”
Wang Heng: “Anything.”
“The most troublesome answer is ‘anything’…” Lu Qi sighed lightly, “Moreover, you accompanied me shopping and buying things, so the choice of food should naturally be up to you.”
So Wang Heng pointed casually: “That ramen shop looks pretty good.”
Lu Qi frowned slightly.
Regardless of taste, a noodle restaurant isn’t really suitable for a date between a man and a woman… But she had agreed to let him choose, going back on it obviously wouldn’t do.
Lu Qi pondered secretly, deciding to adjust the afternoon’s activities.
For example… hot spring?
