My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 351

Chapter 351: Stupid Loli
Before sleeping at night, Xiaomuqing briefly summarized the degree of her good brother’s strategies.
Now it seems that she has been more than half successful, and her good brother seems to have been swayed.
The type of girl he likes, she meets most of the conditions, only the part about loli feels a bit tricky.
She will be eighteen this year and will be an adult soon, so she is not a loli.
Since she has reached this step, she needs to start thinking about the next step.
Now, she likes him, and he seems to have some feelings for her, so it seems like there is only one last step left.
Next, she needs to think of a way to break through the last barrier.
Theoretically, the simplest way is to be direct and say: “I like you.”
However, this is obviously unrealistic. First, Xiaomuqing doesn’t have the courage to do it, and second, she is extremely cowardly.
“Hmm, it’s so difficult.”
While thinking, Xiaomuqing curled up, wrapped herself in a blanket like a spring roll, and then fell into distress.
What should she do to let him know that she likes him? This is a big problem.
As she thought, she slowly closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
In her dream, she saw Ye Ziming appear before her, holding her hand and saying: “I like… stupid loli.”
Stupid loli…
A night passed, and when Xiaomuqing woke up the next morning, she had forgotten most of the dream she had last night.
But she remembered those three words and that sentence clearly.
“Stupid loli, who is it!?”
Pouting and frowning, Xiaomuqing, who had just woken up, looked unhappy, seemingly because of the words ‘stupid loli’.
After that, as usual, she got dressed, brushed her teeth, and prepared to go downstairs for breakfast.
However, today was a bit different. Before going downstairs, she went to the bathroom and stood in front of the dressing table, looking in the mirror for a while.
“I’m not a loli, humph.”
Pouting, she said in a low voice, seemingly dissatisfied or unwilling, and then turned and left the bathroom as if somewhat indignant.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is also Valentine’s Day.
Coincidentally, the weather was clear today, and the temperature was not low, which was very suitable for outings or dates.
By the way, the custom here is to celebrate the first day of the Lunar New Year at home, without visiting relatives.
So, generally speaking, this day is free to arrange.
“I heard there’s a beautiful garden over there, let’s go stroll later.”
While the family was eating breakfast together, Meng Yue had already planned how to spend the afternoon.
She would take her husband and the Ye family couple next door to visit the garden.
After making this arrangement, she looked at her beloved daughter, Xiaomuqing.
“Honey, what are your plans for today?”
When she asked this question, Meng Yue had a hint of cunning in her eyes, and the smile on her face could be described as meaningful.
In fact, she could guess most of it without asking, but she still wanted to ask.
“Uh, I haven’t thought about it yet.”
The moment she heard the question, Xiaomuqing was a little dazed, and her first thought was of her good brother.
Then, her eyes dodged slightly, she pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty, and shook her head to answer.
She really hadn’t thought about what she was going to do today, but she was prepared to spend Valentine’s Day with her good brother.
“Then, do you want your brother to take you out to play?”
Lin Qiwen thought he had a chance and leaned over to suggest it.
At the same time, Da Lang and Er Lang, who were sitting next to them, both looked at Xiaomuqing, clearly having some ideas.
“No.”
Without thinking, Xiaomuqing decisively refused.
Her brothers were indeed very good, but compared to her good brother, they were still a tiny bit short.
Not long after, breakfast ended. As Xiaomuqing helped tidy up the table, Meng Yue walked up with a smile and asked her:
“Where are you planning to go with him today? Tell Mom.”
Meng Yue already knew that today was Valentine’s Day.
So, when she asked Xiaomuqing a question, she put on a funny face.
“Ah, this.”
Her little secret was exposed, and Xiaomuqing felt embarrassed.
After that, Meng Yue didn’t say much, just reminded Xiaomuqing to be careful when she went out and not to stay out overnight.
The scene shifted, morning passed, and lunch was over.
In the afternoon, Ye Ziming, who had received the message, came to pick up Xiaomuqing as promised.
“Boss~”
Seeing her good brother appear, Xiaomuqing quickly stood up to greet him, her face full of joy.
However, after stepping forward, she suddenly paused because she remembered the hug from last night.
This matter was a bit awkward, and she had indeed been too bold yesterday.
“Mm.”
Upon meeting, Ye Ziming smiled and patted Xiaomuqing’s head, then greeted her mother-in-law before taking her away.
As he left the Lin family, he saw the three brothers-in-law staring at him unhappily, making him a little embarrassed.
Never mind, brothers-in-law were like this.
“What do you want to do today?”
After leaving the Lin family, Ye Ziming took Xiaomuqing’s small hand and asked her with a smile.
“How about… going to your place?”
After thinking for a while, Xiaomuqing couldn’t think of anywhere fun to go, as this was the suburbs.
So, the two, just like last night, went to Ye Ziming’s house to stay and played games on their phones.
This Valentine’s Day seemed a bit ordinary…
But not necessarily. Today, Xiaomuqing wanted to try a different method to test her good brother again.
“Boss, I have a question for you.”
While waiting for the game to load, Xiaomuqing quietly glanced at her good brother and said this casually.
“Mm.”
Ye Ziming nodded, not paying much attention, and continued to look at his phone screen.
“So, in your eyes, what kind of person would be called a stupid loli?”
Xiaomuqing admitted that after waking up this morning, she couldn’t forget those three words and felt something was wrong.
What does stupid loli have to do with her?
After asking the question, Xiaomuqing turned to look at Ye Ziming, pursed her lips, her expression somewhat serious.
“?”
Upon hearing the question, Ye Ziming raised his eyebrows in surprise, then turned to look at Xiaomuqing with a rather subtle expression.
This question really caught him off guard.
“Stupid loli?”
Seeing Xiaomuqing fall silent for a moment, Ye Ziming frowned slightly and repeated the three words.
“Mm.”
Xiaomuqing nodded, indicating that this was indeed the question she was asking.
However, she didn’t seem to realize that when Ye Ziming repeated those three words, it had a tone of calling out to her.
“Then what kind of person do you think should be called a stupid loli?”
Looking at the cute and naive Xiaomuqing, Ye Ziming couldn’t help but chuckle softly, then threw the question back to Xiaomuqing.
“Hmm, I don’t know, but it’s definitely not someone like me.”
