My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 320

Chapter 320: Chapter 317: Didn’t You Say You Liked It?
At this moment, Xiaomuqing was completely flustered, almost forgetting who she was, where she was, or what she was supposed to do.
Her tongue was tied, and she didn’t know where to put her hands. She raised her head to look at her good brother, unsure of what to do next.
She felt that the hand touching her cheek was large and warm, making her heart tremble.
She liked this kind of interaction, perhaps because it was an intimate contact that brought her and her good brother closer.
But now, she didn’t dare to let him continue touching her.
It seemed like he was touching her cheek, but in reality, it felt more like he was touching her heart.
It was a strange, tingly feeling. She didn’t dislike it, but she was afraid that if it continued, she wouldn’t be able to resist and would do something fuckable…
“Then your face…”
Looking at Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming raised his eyebrows, his eyes shifting, and his prominent Adam’s apple bobbed.
He felt that if this continued, he would be so ‘moe’d’ that he’d bleed to death.
“I… that… I’m hot!”
After another moment of eye contact, Xiaomuqing couldn’t take it anymore. She dodged Ye Ziming’s outstretched hand.
Saying that in a flustered manner, she turned and walked towards the table, daring not to meet Ye Ziming’s gaze again.
This was too embarrassing. She actually fantasized about marrying her good brother, and she even felt a little excited!
Her goal was just to be with her good brother; she hadn’t thought about marriage before.
However, if they wanted to be together forever, marriage seemed like the best way.
Hmm~ I’m going to break~
“…”
Looking at Xiaomuqing’s back, and then at her somewhat thin clothes, Ye Ziming was silent for a moment.
After a simple thought, combined with Xiaomuqing’s abnormal behavior in the past few days, he gradually had a guess.
Then, the corners of his mouth gradually curved upwards, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze became subtle.
“Do you need my help?”
He slowly walked to Xiaomuqing’s side, smiled at her profile, and asked softly.
“Ah, that, help me wash the vegetables.”
Hearing Ye Ziming’s voice, Xiaomuqing was startled again. She almost dropped the pork in her hand due to her trembling.
She casually assigned Ye Ziming a task, feeling that she urgently needed to calm down.
Otherwise, her ‘steam engine’ would explode!
Time passed slowly, and the two of them stayed in the kitchen, cooperating to cook lunch.
Outside the kitchen, the father and son dutifully sat in the living room, leaving the two in the kitchen to have their own world.
At 12:10 PM, lunch was ready.
As three dishes and one soup were served, Ye Mingxu and Ye Zizhuo sat at the dining table and began to eat lunch.
“Mmm! Muqing’s cooking is excellent!”
After just one bite of fish, Ye Mingxu’s eyes lit up, and he praised his future daughter-in-law.
“Indeed, it’s amazing.”
Ye Zizhuo next to him hadn’t eaten yet, but just by looking at the color and the aroma of the dishes, he could tell that this meal was incredible.
He didn’t know about comparing her to a master chef, but compared to people like them, she was truly outstanding.
“It’s okay.”
After a little modesty, she turned and glanced at her good brother beside her, Xiaomuqing was even more eager for his evaluation.
Noticing this, Ye Ziming very cooperatively picked up his chopsticks, tasted the three dishes one by one, and then praised her with a smile.
“Hehe.”
Xiaomuqing secretly rejoiced in her heart.
After all, her strategy included showcasing her cooking skills and making him delicious food.
Because there’s a saying: “To capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach!”
She learned this online, and Meng Yue also taught her this way.
Therefore, during this period of time, she went to the kitchen every day to learn more cooking skills from her mother.
Now, it seemed that this plan was very successful. Not only did she receive praise from her good brother, but she also gained the approval of his family.
“I said earlier, when Ziming brings Muqing home, we’ll be able to enjoy life.”
While Xiaomuqing was contemplating her little strategy for her good brother, Ye Zizhuo looked at the two people sitting opposite him and said with a smile.
Although this wasn’t the first time she had heard such words, Xiaomuqing still froze for a moment, then became embarrassed.
“Ziming, you must treat her well…”
Hearing this, Ye Mingxu, the father, secretly nodded. He thought these words made sense.
Then, he looked at Ye Ziming and said earnestly.
“I will.”
Glancing at Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming curved his lips and replied with a smile.
In his opinion, even if no one said it, he would do it, and he had already started doing it a long time ago.
After that, the father and son were generous with their praise, showering Xiaomuqing with compliments.
Xiaomuqing, feeling embarrassed, kept her head down and didn’t speak much, only responding occasionally.
Throughout the meal, Xiaomuqing even felt like someone had sprinkled sugar in the food, making her heart warm.
Lunch ended, and Ye Zizhuo was the first to stand up and help clear the table.
After that, Ye Ziming took Xiaomuqing to his room and put away the bag she brought.
At this point, Ye Ziming began to wonder what kind of things such a large bag would contain.
Even if she was staying here, she wouldn’t need so many things, he thought.
“This bag is filled with cosplay outfits.”
When her good brother asked, Xiaomuqing replied very frankly.
As she spoke, she unzipped the bag and took out two cosplay outfits.
There were many props, especially for Keli’s cosplay. Besides the clothes, there was a backpack and a ‘Boom Boom Bomb’ contained in a vacuum-sealed bag.
It was actually a throw pillow, which she liked very much, so she brought it along.
Oh, right, the bag she carried out today was the same model as Keli’s.
“You like cosplay?”
Ye Ziming raised his eyebrows, casually picked up Paimon’s cosplay outfit, and asked with a slightly subtle look.
“That, no… didn’t you say you liked it?”
Xiaomuqing was a little stunned. As she said the latter part of her sentence, her voice became very soft. She frowned and pouted as if complaining to Ye Ziming.
It was obvious that Ye Ziming had forgotten what happened a few days ago.
During their online chat, he had treated it as a joke, hence his reply that he liked seeing her cosplay as Paimon.
That was the ‘food reserve,’ the smallest humanoid creature in the game.
Then, Ye Ziming’s eyes widened, and a look of realization flashed in them.
He felt that his guess was mostly correct.
The stupid loli had been doing these things recently, testing his preferences and acting according to them.
Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth turned up, and he decided to test her.
“Yes, I do like it.”
He nodded with a smile, admitting to it, after all, he had said it.
Then, he looked at the two cosplay outfits placed on the bed, his chin resting on one hand as he hesitated.
