101: Chapter 101 The Allure of Uniforms

Looking at Lin Yuxi's flushed, cold, and beautiful face, Zhang Qi found it rather amusing.

This girl was clearly suffering from severe social anxiety, yet she was able to make such a big decision just to repay him.

However, Zhang Qi didn't feel quite as interested at this moment.

After all, there wasn't anything particularly urgent that needed to be handled later.

Simply wearing this outfit just to go shopping wasn't actually that interesting.

"There's no rush for that; let's shoot the video for you first."

Zhang Qi said casually.

"Okay."

Lin Yuxi nodded obediently.

She took the bag containing the clothes and turned back to the bedroom to change.

Meanwhile, Zhang Qi rolled up his sleeves and began to unpack the equipment.

The top-tier Photography equipment, worth over two million, was packed extremely securely.

Zhang Qi deftly took out the Sony cinema camera and various matching lenses.

The cold metallic texture gleamed with an expensive luster under the living room lights.

He possessed the Photography Mastery skill bestowed by the system.

The complex parameters and various assembly parts that would dazzle ordinary people were as simple as eating and drinking to Zhang Qi.

He skillfully attached the lens to the camera body, producing a crisp click.

Then, he adjusted the heavy stabilizer to its optimal balance state.

He even found the perfect lighting angles for the two sets of professional soft lights.

Before long, all the top-tier equipment was fully set up.

Zhang Qi clapped his hands and leaned back on the leather sofa, waiting patiently.

Just then, the bedroom door was gently pushed open.

"Brother Qi, look."

Lin Yuxi's crisp and pleasant voice drifted over.

Zhang Qi stopped fiddling with the lens and looked up.

Lin Yuxi walked out dressed as a female swordswoman in red and black.

The form-fitting outfit perfectly outlined her tall, slender figure.

A wide black waistband was tied around her slender waist, which could be encircled by one's hands.

Tight-fitting black trousers wrapped around her straight, long legs.

Paired with a pair of high-quality black boots, the visual impact was extremely strong.

Her long hair, which had originally been loose, was tied up into a neat high ponytail.

As she walked, the ponytail swayed gently behind her.

Her cold and stunning face was made up with a heroic look, featuring sword-like eyebrows and bright, starry eyes.

She was also holding an exquisitely crafted prop sword.

Her whole person exuded the heroic spirit of a swordswoman.

She knew that Zhang Qi liked to see her in this outfit.

So, she specifically walked in front of Zhang Qi and lightly spun around to show it off.

Zhang Qi's gaze fell upon her, and for a moment, he really couldn't look away.

At this moment, he finally understood completely why those websites would have a dedicated section for "uniform temptation."

When worn by a top-tier beauty, this uniform was indeed quite tempting.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuxi was actually incredibly nervous inside.

As someone with severe social anxiety, this was the first time in her life she had been this bold.

Fighting back the panic and shyness in her heart, she stood openly in front of a member of the opposite sex, trying her best to show off her charm.

Her cold, beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on Zhang Qi's reaction.

Seeing the appreciation in Zhang Qi's eyes, she was instantly filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Very beautiful, you have great charisma."

Zhang Qi didn't hold back with his praise, though he didn't stare indefinitely.

"Let's hurry and shoot; it's getting late."

Zhang Qi picked up the adjusted Sony cinema camera and urged her casually.

"Okay."

Lin Yuxi replied, the blush on her cheeks not yet having completely faded.

"Relax your expression."

Zhang Qi looked at the image in the lens and couldn't help but laugh.

"A female swordswoman is cold and heartless; she wouldn't be shy like you at every turn."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuxi's cheeks instantly turned even redder.

Even her long, fair neck flushed a tempting shade of pink.

Fortunately, Zhang Qi didn't continue to tease her.

Lin Yuxi took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm her racing heart.

After a while, the blush on her face finally faded a little.

That cold, unapproachable aura returned to her.

Seeing this, Zhang Qi immediately pressed the record button and began filming her.

As a professional cosplay blogger, Lin Yuxi was very knowledgeable about poses and body language.

Drawing the sword, turning, and slashing—every movement was smooth and fluid.

The sharpness and coldness in her eyes were captured perfectly.

Zhang Qi stood behind the camera, focusing solely on filming.

With the support of the Photography Mastery skill, his camera movement techniques were master-level.

Pushing, pulling, panning, and shifting—every shot transition was incredibly smooth.

Coupled with this top-tier, cinema-grade equipment worth over two million, the texture and lighting layers of the footage reached the standard of a major theatrical film.

In less than half an hour, all the footage had been filmed.

"It's done; come over and see the results."

Zhang Qi put down the camera and waved at Lin Yuxi.

Lin Yuxi immediately sheathed her sword and walked quickly to Zhang Qi's side.

She stood obediently behind Zhang Qi, leaning over slightly to look at the image on the monitor.

As the video played, they both nodded repeatedly.

Lin Yuxi was even looking at it with stars in her eyes.

"The quality of this video is too high!"

She exclaimed, looking at her heroic self on the screen.

This image quality and camera work were far better than what she had previously shot with her crappy equipment.

This was practically a dimensionality reduction attack.

Zhang Qi leaned back on the sofa, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

Good equipment combined with his top-tier filming technique meant the quality of the final product was naturally impeccable.

"Brother Qi, I'll edit the video now and publish it."

Lin Yuxi straightened up, her beautiful eyes shining as she looked at Zhang Qi.

"Then I'll treat you to dinner, okay?"

She bit her rosy lower lip, her tone filled with a mix of anticipation and shyness.

After saying this, her face turned red again uncontrollably.

"I'll wear this outfit."

Lin Yuxi quickly added, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum.

She kept Zhang Qi's hobby of liking her in ancient costumes in her heart at all times.

No matter how socially anxious she was, she was willing to overcome it for Zhang Qi.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qi turned his head to look at her shy yet determined appearance.

"Sure."

Zhang Qi nodded and agreed readily.

"Okay, then wait for me for a little while."

Seeing that Zhang Qi had agreed, Lin Yuxi was instantly filled with joy.

She said this and immediately turned to walk to the computer desk in the corner of the living room.

She pulled out the chair, sat down, skillfully opened the editing software, and began to edit the video earnestly.

As a small influencer who frequently posted works, she wasn't necessarily proficient in all professional software.

But she knew a little bit about basic editing, color grading, and music.

Furthermore, the quality of this footage was exceptionally high, so it didn't need much effort to polish.

Zhang Qi sat comfortably on the leather sofa.

He held the drink in his hand that had long since gone cold.

His gaze fell on the female swordswoman working earnestly at the computer not far away.

Watching her focused expression and neat movements, Zhang Qi's eyes were full of appreciation.

This kind of quiet and pleasing scene was indeed quite comfortable.

The soft light from the computer screen shone on Lin Yuxi's cold and stunning face, adding a touch of serious charm to her.

The spacious apartment was filled only with the crisp sounds of the mouse and keyboard clicking.

A moment later, Lin Yuxi finally pressed the final Enter key.

The video editing was complete, and it was successfully published on the short video platform.

She let out a long sigh of relief and stood up.

"Brother Qi, let's go."

Lin Yuxi turned around and said softly to Zhang Qi, who was sitting on the sofa.

After saying this, she felt her heart rate instantly skyrocket.

As someone with severe social anxiety, although she usually filmed various exaggerated transformation videos, those were all completed in the absolutely safe, private space of her own home.

To actually wear this eye-catching ancient costume and walk out onto the street to face the strange gazes and pointing fingers of so many strangers was definitely the biggest challenge of her life so far.

But Lin Yuxi's cold, beautiful eyes were fixed tightly on Zhang Qi, and her gaze became unprecedentedly firm.

For Brother Qi, she was willing to try, and she was willing to overcome this fear.
