My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 116

Chapter 116 Chapter 114: Oh No, I’ve Been Seen
After calling out twice without a response, it seemed my good brother wasn’t in the restroom.
Speaking of which, my good brother prepared everything so thoughtfully. After leaving me in the restroom, he didn’t forget to get her slippers and a bath towel.
So when she walked out of the restroom, she wasn’t naked. At least she had a bath towel.
Coming to the washing machine, I could see a basin on top of it. Inside was a set of male attire, which should belong to my good brother.
And besides the clothes, there was also a pair of panties on top. They looked like unused men’s panties.
“This service is too thorough.”
Xiaomuqing expressed her small exclamation and said that she was ready to untie the bath towel around her body and put on the clothes her good brother had prepared for her.
Just then, she suddenly discovered a black spider behind the washing machine, where it touched the wall!
“Wow!”
The moment she saw this thing, Xiaomuqing was startled and let out a cry as she hastily retreated.
As she retreated in a panic, she accidentally knocked over a bucket on the ground, making some noise.
As if sensing something, the spider crawled a few times and ran onto the basin containing the clothes.
This was even scarier! She couldn’t change her clothes at all!
“What’s wrong?”
Ye Ziming, who was sitting in the living room, frowned when he heard the sound of the empty bucket being knocked over, with some confusion in his eyes.
Listening carefully, he seemed to hear a very faint gasp, which made him a bit worried.
He came to the restroom door and wanted to open it to see, but he was afraid of startling her by opening the door suddenly, so he thought for a moment, knocked twice, and asked.
“Well, um, there’s a spider.”
Standing by the door, Xiaomuqing stuttered to him when she heard her good brother’s voice from outside.
She greatly disliked hairy insects, especially spiders, which were hairy and had many legs. Seeing one gave her goosebumps.
If it had just appeared in the restroom, she wouldn’t have thought much of it. She could just stay away from it and find her good brother for help later.
But now that the spider was standing next to her clothes, the position was very awkward!
“Open the door and I’ll get rid of it for you.”
Ye Ziming was slightly relieved when he heard Xiaomuqing’s words. So it was just an insect, which he could deal with casually.
But when he wanted to open the door and go in to help Xiaomuqing solve the problem, he found that the door was locked.
He could only knock on the door and try to get Xiaomuqing to open it.
“Ah, this…”
The situation suddenly became awkward. A choice presented itself to Xiaomuqing: should she open the door or not?
If she opened it, her secret would likely be exposed.
If she didn’t, she would have to face the spider standing next to her clothes alone and find a way to drive it away herself.
At the same time, Uncle Liu next door was boiling ginger candy syrup. He looked up at the light bulb overhead and suddenly remembered something.
“Oh dear, Young Wang said he would come to change the toilet light today, but he hasn’t arrived yet.”
After murmuring to himself, he took out his phone and tapped to call Young Wang.
The toilet light he mentioned was not his home’s, but Ye Ziming’s.
So while Xiaomuqing was still hesitating about how to make her choice, the light bulb above her head suddenly flickered a few times.
Then, under her gaze, the bulb seemed to be unable to bear the load and suddenly went out.
“Wow!”
In an instant, she was engulfed in darkness, and fear surged like a tide. She couldn’t help but let out another gasp.
This gasp was completely different from the previous one. This time she was genuinely scared because of the suddenly dark environment.
The combination of restroom, darkness, spider, and bathroom elements made her recall a horror movie she had watched before.
If it weren’t for the dim light in the restroom, Xiaomuqing felt she might have been scared to tears.
Bang!
Bang!!
Bang!!!
After her gasp, there were sounds of impact on the restroom door, each one louder than the last.
By the third bang, the restroom door was forced open by Ye Ziming, and then it was quickly pushed open.
Xiaomuqing, standing by the door, was unfortunately affected and fell to the ground on her butt.
“Ouch.”
She wasn’t injured, but her butt ached from hitting the ground first, so she let out a soft cry.
Ye Ziming, who broke down the door, rushed to Xiaomuqing’s side upon hearing the sound, fearing that something had happened to her.
But as soon as he saw her and was about to say “Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”, the scene before him stunned him.
Because of the strenuous movement, the bath towel on Xiaomuqing’s body couldn’t cover her well at this moment.
In Ye Ziming’s words: “It’s better not to cover it at all.”
“Boss, why are you… ah!”
Xiaomuqing, who had finally recovered and was rubbing her little butt, wanted to stand up and say something to her good brother.
Then she was also stunned because she also noticed something was wrong with her bath towel.
“You… you saw it.”
Hastily grabbing her bath towel again and wrapping it tightly around her body, Xiaomuqing said to her good brother with a face full of nervousness.
“Cough, cough.”
Ye Ziming coughed twice to cover his awkwardness. Although he already knew Xiaomuqing’s real gender, he didn’t expect such a situation to occur.
Before he could find proof that she was a girl, she had already proven it herself. This was truly unexpected.
“Actually, I… I can explain.”
“Okay, before you explain, put on your clothes first. Where is that spider? I’ll help you deal with it.”
Looking at the nervous Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming felt a burst of amusement and then asked softly.
He was the one who saw Xiaomuqing naked, yet the first thing she thought of wasn’t to blame him, but to nervously look like she wanted to apologize.
This surprised him again.
“It’s… over there.”
Suddenly realizing something, Xiaomuqing wrapped her body even tighter, and a blush spread across her face.
The light was so dim just now, her good brother probably didn’t see her completely, right?
Mournful, her two biggest secrets only lasted two weeks in front of her good brother. She was about to cry.
After that, with Ye Ziming’s help, Xiaomuqing successfully got her clothes and was taken to the side room to change.
This room was the one Ye Ziming had put a lot of thought into and renovated specifically for Xiaomuqing.
“Is someone living here?”
While changing her clothes, Xiaomuqing noticed the decoration and arrangement of this room, which looked very much like a girl’s room.
It was pink and quite cute, and the more she looked, the prettier she found it.
The perfect warm tones made her feel warm, even cozy.
Xiaomuqing: Is there a woman living in my good brother’s house?
