My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Calling Ye Gege
At the corner, Li Xiaoyun widened her eyes and opened her mouth wide, looking at Sun Luo with great surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After a brief thought, she knew he was a cross-dressing master, a true master!
When dressed as a girl, his appearance was stunning. If she hadn’t heard his voice and seen his Adam’s apple, she wouldn’t have guessed he was a male.
“Um…”
After the surprise, Li Xiaoyun became embarrassed.
Looking at the cross-dressing master before her, she shyly scratched her head, her other hand reaching into her pants pocket, gripping her phone.
She… wanted to get to know him and get his contact information.
“Mm?”
Raising an eyebrow, surprised and a bit puzzled at the same time, Sun Luo couldn’t quite understand Li Xiaoyun’s situation.
“Ahem, it’s just that… My name is Li Xiaoyun.”
Li Xiaoyun had already taken out her phone, but not knowing how to ask for contact information, she stammered for a long time before finally uttering a sentence.
This was after mustering up a lot of courage.
“Mm, I know.”
Nodding, Sun Luo wore a confused expression.
“Huh? You know me?”
“…You don’t know me?”
Li Xiaoyun was surprised again, then shook her head, looking utterly bewildered.
On the other hand, Sun Luo frowned, but soon understood the situation.
Before high school, he hadn’t unlocked this hobby, so it was normal for Li Xiaoyun not to recognize him.
“I’m Sun Luo.”
“Huh?” “Huh!?”
Two consecutive exhales. The first was a delay in reaction, the second was shock.
“Heh, it’s strange, right? I’m wearing women’s clothes.”
Seeing that Li Xiaoyun had recognized him, Sun Luo chuckled softly, not surprised by this reaction.
A man liking to dress as a woman had drawn many strange looks, including from his parents.
After all, reality wasn’t the internet. Many people online praised him, but reality was completely different.
However, what he didn’t expect was that after hearing his words, Li Xiaoyun suddenly grabbed his hand and said earnestly:
“How could you think that! You look amazing in women’s clothes.”
In that instant, Sun Luo froze, and Li Xiaoyun also froze.
The former was because of this response and the visible joy in Li Xiaoyun’s eyes.
The latter suddenly realized that grabbing his hand so intimately might have been a bit too abrupt.
Once she snapped back to reality, Li Xiaoyun quickly let go and took a step back to maintain a more appropriate distance.
But they were still close, about the distance between good girlfriends.
“You… don’t think I’m strange?”
Sun Luo repeated the question with a smile that even he couldn’t fully understand.
“No.”
Li Xiaoyun shook her head decisively, her excitement clearly visible on her face.
If she were to maintain her composure and image, she would definitely say she loved cross-dressing masters.
Unfortunately, before this, she had only encountered them online; she had barely met any in real life.
And even if she had, none were as bold as Sun Luo.
“Brother Sun Luo, where are you going? Can I come with you?”
Since they already knew each other, Li Xiaoyun didn’t hesitate and changed her way of talking.
Using the excuse of catching up, she could find many opportunities to spend time with Sun Luo.
Hehe~
“Um… I wasn’t planning on going anywhere.”
“Right, you’re probably not familiar with this place, how about I show you around the village?”
“…Okay.”
Faced with the enthusiastic Li Xiaoyun, Sun Luo couldn’t keep up and became the passive one.
However, he found this feeling quite good, so he went along with her wishes and decided to stroll around the village with her.
It’s been a while since they last met. This girl has grown a lot and become much prettier.
But she’s still as boisterous as before…
…
In the afternoon, Xiaomuqing, after wandering around town for half a day, casually found a milk tea shop to rest.
From morning until now, she had only eaten breakfast, not lunch. She was a bit hungry, so having some snacks along with her milk tea would be nice.
As Xiaomuqing sat on a chair indoors, quietly waiting for Ye Ziming to pick up their order at the counter, she saw a scene.
At a table near hers, there was a couple who looked very much like lovers.
What caught her attention was that the girl kept calling the boy “older brother.”
Xiaomuqing didn’t know if it was a case of romantic love between siblings, but she could tell that the boy was clearly enjoying it.
“Brother, I’ve got my eye on a bag recently.”
“Then buy it.”
“But it’s very expensive.”
“It’s okay, I’ll buy it for you!”
This was roughly the scenario. With the girl’s exclamation of “Brother is so good!”, they cuddled together.
This scene made Xiaomuqing think of a question.
Regarding what netizens had told her, calling a boy “older brother” would likely have a miraculous effect, especially on boys who had a good impression of her.
Xiaomuqing didn’t really feel anything about this point, as she didn’t think being called “older brother” was particularly enjoyable.
“emmm.”
As Xiaomuqing lowered her head in thought, Ye Ziming happened to return with a tray and sat down on the sofa next to Xiaomuqing.
Two cups of milk tea and a snack set, looking very tempting.
“What are you thinking about?”
After sitting down, Ye Ziming carefully noticed that Xiaomuqing was lost in thought, so he turned his head and asked her with a smile.
“Uh…”
Looking up, Xiaomuqing blinked and hesitated as she looked at her good brother.
“?”
Looking into Xiaomuqing’s eyes, Ye Ziming raised an eyebrow, conveying a question with his gaze.
In this way, they looked into each other’s eyes and maintained a silent gaze for a few seconds.
Xiaomuqing was gathering her emotions, and Ye Ziming was waiting for her to speak.
Until Xiaomuqing pursed her lips, her eyes subtle, and slowly opened her mouth, saying to him: “Ye Gege~”
Her soft voice, combined with Xiaomuqing’s deliberate control, made this “Gege” sound particularly cute.
PS: Xiaomuqing’s practice of acting cute wasn’t in vain.
And this cuteness struck Ye Ziming with a critical hit, multiplied!
“Ahem, what is it?”
On the surface, Ye Ziming frowned, and his eyes became subtle as he looked at Xiaomuqing.
In reality, he was pretending to be calm, not wanting Xiaomuqing to see that he had been hit hard.
“Nothing, I just wanted to call you.”
“…”
“Hehe.”
Through subtle cues, Xiaomuqing noticed that this way of addressing him was effective; he seemed to have felt happy just now.
So, she looked at Ye Ziming and giggled, excited as if she had discovered a new continent.
“Don’t you want milk tea? Here’s yours.”
Looking at Xiaomuqing’s playful smile, Ye Ziming ruffled her head and then handed her the milk tea.
He was a bit helpless, unable to do anything about Xiaomuqing.
“Ye Gege, you’re so good to me.”
This move, this move was to strike while the iron was hot and press the advantage.
No matter what, calling him ‘Ye Gege’ was the right move.
