Chapter 480: Chapter 480: Izakaya

While Xu Ke was still dazed in the bedroom, Ariel had already dressed up and walked out from the washroom.

Her golden hair was pinned up at the back of her head, with a cherry blossom hairpin adorning her temples. Pink and white tassels hung by her ears, and the gentle eyebrows and eyes painted on her face made her look pure and adorable. She wore a unique traditional Japanese outfit with red as the base and luxurious dahlias embroidered on it, enhancing her ethereal purity. The innocence in her eyes contrasted sharply with the opulence of her attire.

The wooden clogs on her feet made a crisp sound on the floor, and her white, petite, jade-like feet contrasted sharply with the dark clogs, capturing a lot of attention.

"How do I look?" Ariel beamed at Xu Ke, spreading her arms and spinning around in front of him, allowing Xu Ke to appreciate her outfit from every angle.

"Beautiful." Xu Ke looked at Ariel with eyes full of admiration and astonishment.

"It’s my first time wearing this, but it feels pretty good. I like these clogs, making a clip-clop sound when I walk; it sounds nice. I feel like walking a few more steps in them." Ariel showed Xu Ke her clogs, her toes round like rice dumplings wiggling restlessly, looking extremely cute.

Xu Ke held Ariel’s small extended foot, a meaningful look in his eyes, before nonchalantly letting it go. "Stop messing around. Don’t you want to go to the izakaya? If you keep messing around, don’t you want to go?" Xu Ke said.

"Yes, I do, but I want to see you wearing such an outfit, too. But I didn’t expect to meet you here, so I didn’t prepare one for you. What a pity." Ariel cupped her cheeks, looking regretfully at Xu Ke.

"No need to worry. They should have some for sale outside. I’ll buy one and wear it for you then." Xu Ke coaxed.
