Chapter 486
When Xu Ke finished his shower and wanted to come out, he realized that the bathroom towel was missing, replaced by a piece of traditional Japanese clothing. Xu Ke paused his actions of drying his body, and the expression on his face while looking at the garment took on a contemplative look. Suddenly, things he couldn’t quite understand before seemed to become clear.
After a moment, Xu Ke resumed his actions, only now with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, eyes glinting with interest. “Playing this with me, you’re not quite there yet.” Xu Ke laughed lightly as he spoke.
Xu Ke obliged Ariel’s intention and put on the robe, but Ariel hadn’t prepared any underwear for him, so beneath the robe, Xu Ke was going commando. As he walked, bursts of small breezes slipped in, making him a bit uncomfortable, but he quickly adjusted.
Just as Xu Ke stepped out of the bathroom, a sweep of a leg wind came at him, yet Xu Ke didn’t even blink and quickly grabbed Ariel’s ankle.
But Ariel didn’t give up; her flexibility was excellent. Even with one leg raised high, it posed no barrier to her. She punched towards the hand holding her ankle, only to find Xu Ke stepping aside in a wide move, turning Ariel’s vertical split into a horizontal one, nowhere near enough to reach Xu Ke’s hand.
Ariel’s cheeks flushed with anger, “Aren’t you going to let me go? The floor is really cold, you know.” Ariel pouted as she spoke.
She was also wearing just a bathrobe, and the contact with the floor gave her goosebumps.
Seeing this, Xu Ke hesitated, releasing his grip and even offering a hand to support her. Yet, he saw a gleam of cunning suddenly flash in Ariel’s eyes. With one hand grabbing Xu Ke’s extended hand, she sprang up from the ground like a nimble snake, closing in on Xu Ke with a grin that seemed to say, “You fell for it.”
But Xu Ke’s face showed no panic, sporting a similarly cheeky expression. Ariel’s heart skipped a beat, but now she couldn’t stop her actions at all, only watching as Xu Ke swiftly flipped over, securing her hands tightly. Twisting her wrist, Xu Ke pinned Ariel’s hands behind her back, quickly binding them together with his belt.
At the same time, Xu Ke’s robe flung wide open, leaving nothing covered at all.
“Baby, what are you doing? Hurry and untie me.” Ariel wriggled her wrists, finding the binds tightening as she struggled, so she gave up the fight, switching to a pitiful plea to Xu Ke.
“I’m not up to much, just completing what you wanted to start but couldn’t finish.” Xu Ke crouched down, hoisting her with a firm motion, leaving Ariel feeling the world spin, now hung over Xu Ke’s shoulder. Luckily, Xu Ke didn’t jab her stomach with his shoulder, or she would feel much worse.
Carrying Ariel into the bedroom, Xu Ke tossed her onto the spring bed. Although the bed was soft, it still made Ariel go dizzy.
“What do you want to do to me? Hmm? Baby.” Xu Ke spoke as he rummaged through the bed, easily finding the cat ears, tail, paw pads, and pink collar Ariel had bought earlier under a pillow.
Ariel looked at the items Xu Ke found, her face showing an innocent expression, “If I said these were for myself, would you believe it?” Ariel said quietly, looking at Xu Ke.
Xu Ke’s expression was a teasing smile. He clipped a cat ear to Ariel’s head, “What do you think?” Xu Ke murmured, letting his hand slide down Ariel’s golden hair after fastening the cat ears.
“I’m telling the truth, I’m not lying. Boys wouldn’t wear pink, right?” Ariel continued to protest.
“Who knows? Maybe that boy thought it was for a girl’s use, so he chose pink.” Xu Ke spoke in a lofty tone. Still, in full view of Ariel, he opened the lowest drawer of the bedside table, pulling things he had bought out from inside.
“Do you think, baby, we aren’t really in sync? You bought these, and I bought some too.” Xu Ke brought out a maid outfit he had bought, vastly different from those on the market, with a skirt much shorter and body-hugging, designed to accentuate the figure, with a backless design.
“When I saw this outfit, I thought you’d look especially beautiful wearing it, so I bought it for you. Do you like it?” Xu Ke gently asked, touching Ariel’s lips.
Seeing Ariel somewhat distracted, Xu Ke quietly moved the hand touching her lips upwards and suddenly pinched Ariel’s cheeks, asking, “What are you thinking about, spacing out right in front of me?”
Ariel’s ears slowly turned crimson, looking at Xu Ke with watery eyes.
Xu Ke paused for a moment, then chuckled, “I was wondering what you were thinking about, turns out it was this.” Xu Ke said with a profound chuckle.
Under Ariel’s watchful eyes, Xu Ke’s fingers gently pulled away the bath towel on her body, slowly dressing Ariel in the outfit he held, sparking little flames with his fingers along her skin as he went. By the time Xu Ke dressed Ariel fully, she was breathless, tears nearly brimming at the corners of her eyes, eyes misty as if they could drip down.
“Stop playing, baby, I’m uncomfortable. Please unbind me, will you?” Ariel pleaded, looking at Xu Ke.
“Can’t do that.” Xu Ke smiled with gentle cruelty, denying her request as he fastened the pink collar around Ariel’s neck.
Now Ariel, with pink cat ears and a collar, in the maid outfit, was like a character stepping out of an anime, tearing through the dimensional wall into the human world.
Even someone like Xu Ke, who isn’t much into the otaku culture, was momentarily entranced by Ariel’s appearance at that moment.
“Please, baby, untie me. I promise to behave, alright?” Ariel presented her bound hands to Xu Ke, hoping he would release her.
But her appearance only doused Xu Ke’s initial intent to untie her, even sparking thoughts even more perilous to Ariel.
