My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 347

Chapter 347: Chapter 344: What Kind of Girl Do You Like?
On the village road, Xiaomuqing held Ye Ziming’s hand, her face brimming with a sweet smile.
As expected, without her brother around, she could relax a lot. Even holding hands like this didn’t fluster her at all.
Perhaps it was because of their previous date, where she discovered that hugging wouldn’t be an issue, Xiaomuqing became bolder and bolder.
On the way home, Xiaomuqing not only held Ye Ziming’s hand but also slowly leaned against him.
This interaction was obviously as intimate as possible.
“Boss~”
“Mm?”
“I recently found a mobile game. How about we play it together later?”
“Okay.”
Besides holding hands, they also had simple conversations, chatting about what to play tonight or how to play later.
Coincidentally, she had recently heard from a netizen about a good mobile game that had just launched. It would be fun to play with a good brother.
“Um, I heard online that in this game, couples get some good attribute bonuses.”
After talking about the game for a long time, Xiaomuqing suddenly said this.
Alright, she admitted, one of the reasons for playing this game was that it had many couple interaction features, and having a partner would greatly enhance the game experience.
However, she was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she took a big detour and found an excuse.
After speaking, she quietly turned her head to look at Ye Ziming, carefully observing the changes in his facial expression.
“So, after starting the game, we’ll become a couple first?”
Ye Ziming didn’t notice Xiaomuqing’s little thought, but he did notice that when she said that, the small hand he was holding suddenly tensed up.
Then, he looked at the cute Xiaomuqing.
Mm, it had the taste of a guilty conscience. There must be something wrong here.
“We need to level up first before we can become a couple.”
“Oh, then I’ll listen to you.”
Xiaomuqing, having received his reply, was immediately delighted, almost jumping for joy.
All of this was not an impulse, but a premeditated plan.
Currently, everything was within Xiaomuqing’s calculations, including Ye Ziming agreeing to play the game with her.
According to her plan, if Ye Ziming didn’t agree, she would whine and act cute, finding another way to make him accompany her.
Hehe~ There’s always a way to overcome difficulties.
At this point, the two of them had arrived at the doorstep of home. Coincidentally, everyone in the Ye family had gone out to play today, including Old Master Ye.
According to Xiaomuqing’s wishes, playing games definitely required some snacks and drinks.
So, before going upstairs to her room, she casually grabbed some delicious food and drinks, thinking she would enjoy them later.
“Here, this game, it’ll be faster if I transfer it to you face-to-face, right?”
Back in the room, Xiaomuqing put down the snacks and impatiently took out her phone, ready to help her good brother set up the game first.
In response, Ye Ziming simply handed her his phone and let her operate it.
Next, he sat on the edge of the bed, watching Xiaomuqing busy herself while they chatted leisurely.
Before long, a new game appeared on his phone. Xiaomuqing very thoughtfully helped him install and log in.
“I’m bad at naming things, you can do this part yourself.”
Saying this, Xiaomuqing returned the phone to Ye Ziming and then started fiddling with her own phone.
She had also just downloaded it not long ago and had tried creating an account once before. But today, she wanted to create a new account.
The purpose, of course, was to conquer the game together.
“What do you want to name it?”
Just as Xiaomuqing was pondering what kind of ID to create, Ye Ziming leaned over and asked with a smile.
“Ah? I don’t know.”
Shaking her head, Xiaomuqing frowned, appearing a little troubled.
What she was worst at was probably naming things.
Every time she encountered such problems, she would either click random or search for a nice name online.
But now, it was a little different, because Ye Ziming was here.
“Do you need my help?”
The corner of his mouth curved slightly, Ye Ziming asked Xiaomuqing with a meaningful smile.
“Okay, okay.”
Without any hesitation, she handed over her phone.
Having help was definitely better than doing it herself, hehe.
“Create a character first.”
“Oh, oh.”
Following the instruction, Xiaomuqing clicked on the character creation interface and the first thing she saw was the loli body type on the character customization screen.
Hehe~ She liked this.
However, before starting to customize her character, Xiaomuqing had one very important thing to do.
“Boss, can I ask you a question?”
“Say.”
“What… kind of girl do you like?”
Here it comes, the crucial question, the question Xiaomuqing had been anticipating for a long time!
As mentioned earlier, she wanted to test the waters tonight and see how her strategy had progressed during this period of time. Did her good brother have any feelings for her?
Thinking about this, Xiaomuqing became extremely nervous, her eyes fixed on Ye Ziming.
Hearing this question, Ye Ziming raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiaomuqing with surprise, a subtle, almost imperceptible flicker in his eyes.
For a moment, Ye Ziming didn’t speak, just quietly met Xiaomuqing’s gaze.
After about two seconds, he pondered for a moment and slowly opened his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, Xiaomuqing suddenly spoke first.
“Um, don’t misunderstand, I just wanted to ask, and then create a character according to your preferences.”
Being looked at like that by Ye Ziming, Xiaomuqing felt both guilty and shy, and couldn’t help but blurt out her (sophisticated) explanation.
Well, Ye Ziming hadn’t even asked yet, and she had already exposed herself.
Hearing her answer, Ye Ziming couldn’t help but smile, the corners of his mouth curling up.
Then, Xiaomuqing blushed, her hands gripping her phone tightly, her heart beating faster.
She thought, her good brother’s smile was quite nice…
“I like… girls who are petite and cute, preferably like kittens, who I can easily hug and pet.”
Looking into Xiaomuqing’s eyes, Ye Ziming pretended to ponder for a moment, then said, mirroring Xiaomuqing’s appearance.
This was no longer an hint, but a direct statement, Ye Ziming thought.
“!”
Upon hearing such an answer, Xiaomuqing first froze for a few seconds, then her eyes widened, pupils contracting, and a look of shock appeared in her eyes.
In her understanding, her good brother told her she was cute almost every day, like a routine.
Furthermore, he seemed to like patting her head very much. She didn’t stop him because she found it comfortable.
And then there was the point about being petite.
Ahem, I’m already 1.6 meters tall, and my weight is eighty or ninety jin? I forget. (Scratches her head)
Anyway, she was definitely not petite, not short, and definitely not a loli!
In conclusion, Xiaomuqing judged that her good brother had feelings for her, but there was still a little bit left to fully conquer him.
“What about someone who isn’t petite, do you like them?”
After thinking for a moment in her mind, Xiaomuqing raised her head again and tentatively asked Ye Ziming.
“Mm?”
Ye Ziming was a little slow to react to Xiaomuqing’s peculiar train of thought.
This reaction was truly beyond his expectations.
