Chapter 153: Surprise Flanking Attack
After calmly finishing the hot spring soak, it was time to put on clothes and go eat dinner.
The inn had bathrobes and wooden clogs. In theory, for a more authentic foreign experience, one could wear the bathrobe to eat Sakura Island-style dinner. But after thinking about it a bit, Wang Heng gave up.
He had never worn this thing before and didn’t even know how to tie the belt, so he wouldn’t force it.
Thus, Lu Qi didn’t wear a bathrobe either. She just changed back into her previous clothes, took off the fox ears, and came with him to the restaurant in the inn.
The two sat facing each other across the low table. After waiting more than ten minutes, small portions of dishes on plates and dishes were served one by one.
Lu Qi picked up the chopsticks, while Wang Heng picked up the mobile phone and called Han Yixuan… and turned on speakerphone.
“Hello, is that Heng Heng?”
The young girl’s voice came from the mobile phone, her tone seeming to contain a hint of eager joy. But upon hearing the strange nickname ‘Heng Heng’, Wang Heng’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
Lu Qi couldn’t help but laugh too, though she didn’t make a sound, looking at him with a gaze like she was watching a good show.
Wang Heng coughed and asked calmly, “Xiao Xuan, what are you doing?”
Han Yixuan: “Eating dinner! What about you? Have you eaten already?”
Wang Heng: “Not yet, just about to start. By the way, when are you going home for the New Year?”
Han Yixuan: “I’ve already booked an airplane ticket for a few days from now. What about you?”
Wang Heng: “I should be going back soon too, so see you then?”
Han Yixuan: “Mm-hmm, see you then!”
“Alright, bye.” With that, Wang Heng hung up the phone.
Lu Qi looked at him and asked with a smile, “You and your girlfriend really have a sense of mutual respect, huh? Not bad, not bad.”
Wang Heng laughed too: “Yeah, our feelings are very good.”
At this time, the waitress brought their sake. As a Sakura Island person, she naturally couldn’t understand the conversation of these two foreign tourists, but she could tell that the call just now was to another young girl.
A young handsome boy and a pretty girl eating dinner, but in the middle calling another girl, and sounding very intimate… what kind of operation was this?
The waitress silently retreated farther away, but still couldn’t help secretly sizing up that boy and girl.
If only she could understand what they were saying—it felt like there was quite a story there…

After dinner, Wang Heng and Lu Qi returned to the room. They set up bedding in their respective bedrooms and prepared to sleep.
Going to sleep now seemed a bit too early, but the warmth from the hot spring soak not long ago was still lingering in their bodies, and they had drunk some wine during the dinner, which inevitably made their minds a bit dizzy. Falling asleep with this feeling was just right.
Wang Heng turned off the bedroom light, lay on the bedding, and habitually picked up his mobile phone again.
Before sleeping, not playing on the mobile phone for a bit always felt a little off…
But suddenly, he saw a text message from Lu Qi. The content was very simple, only two words, yet it made his heart race and him jump up.
【Help!】
Wang Heng opened the bedroom door and quickly went to the living room. He looked around and saw that figure outside the transparent door and window.
He hurriedly went to the hot spring pool side, looked down to observe, and couldn’t help but sigh.
He saw Lu Qi had changed back into that light blue bikini, but without the fox ears. Her lower body was still soaking in the hot spring, her upper body struggling to poke out, holding her mobile phone in hand.
Seeing Wang Heng arrive, Lu Qi lifted her head with some effort, her face flushed: “I think I’ve soaked a bit too much and got dizzy… please, can you help me up?”
“Soaked dizzy?”
“Yeah, I have no strength in my whole body now, can’t even stand up.”
Wang Heng sighed, picked up the bath towel from the rack nearby, draped it over her, then helped her up. This way, while helping Lu Qi up, he also wrapped the bath towel around her.
Perhaps he should thank the exercise at the martial arts hall in the recent days—Wang Heng helped her up very steadily and powerfully.
Helping Lu Qi to her bedroom doorway, she suddenly lightly supported the doorframe and said, “No good, can’t sleep right after soaking in the hot spring, need to shower first.”
Wang Heng: “Can you manage like this?”
Lu Qi: “Should be fine… please.”
“No problem, Sister Lu, since you’re paying, helping out a little is only right.”
Saying this, Wang Heng helped her into the bathroom, then went out and closed the door.
After the bathroom door was closed, Lu Qi, who had been supporting herself against the wall looking frail, suddenly stood straight up. Although the flush on her face remained, her eyes immediately became clear, without any sense of about to faint.
She tossed the bath towel aside, turned on the faucet, and let the hot water rinse her body.
“Can confirm, this kid’s body is fine… and his personality is very honest and reliable. A boy with such strong self-control is rare even among mature men in their thirties or forties.”
Recalling the powerful arms that had supported her just now, and the little tent she had glimpsed inadvertently, Lu Qi was very satisfied.
“As for that little girlfriend… heh, an innocent little girl of eighteen or nineteen—way too easy to deal with, right?”
The older sister type, already over 26, felt quite optimistic about the prospects of this battle.
————
Wang Heng waited outside the bathroom for a few minutes and saw Lu Qi come out again.
She had changed into the clean bathrobe from the bathroom, supporting the doorframe, seeming not yet recovered from the hot spring daze.
Wang Heng said nothing, helped her into the bedroom, watched her slip under the covers, and lie down comfortably.
Then, just as he was about to turn and leave, he heard Lu Qi’s slightly panicked voice: “Oh no, forgot to brush teeth!”
“Skipping brushing teeth for one night is fine…”
“No way,” Lu Qi struggled to get up again, “Teeth must be brushed, otherwise I can’t sleep.”
After struggling twice, the older sister type’s body went soft and she lay back down.
Wang Heng: “…You’ve already gotten up once, forget about brushing teeth.”
Lu Qi stared at him and pleaded softly: “Can you help me get the toothbrush and cup?”
Wang Heng: “?”
Lu Qi: “If possible, squeeze the toothpaste on for me too, then help me brush—okay?”
Wang Heng: “?”
Holding the toothbrush, squeezing on toothpaste, putting it in her little mouth, rubbing up and down… imagining that scene, it seemed normal, but also like something was off?
This scene, seen in which harem anime was it?
Lu Qi gazed at him and asked softly: “Is that okay?”
Heh, it’s just a game—sit upright and be proper, what’s to fear?
Wang Heng picked up her toothbrush, squeezed on some toothpaste, filled the cup more than halfway with clear water, took an empty cup, and returned to the bedroom, to Lu Qi’s side.
Then he squatted down and reached over.
“Starting?”
Lu Qi slowly nodded, gently closed her eyes, and opened her mouth.
