My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 383

Chapter 383: Lin Muqing or Lin Muxue?
“Huh?”
After listening, Zhang Xiaoling paused for a moment, then her eyes widened as she looked Little Muqing up and down.
With a look of surprise and confusion, she seemed to ask Little Muqing, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
At the same time, Ye Ziming also paused, but his movement was not very obvious, as he didn’t intend to participate in the conversation.
Regarding Little Muqing’s current appearance, he felt it would be more interesting to let her discover it herself rather than telling her.
Besides, letting her deceive herself a bit could also help her relax and not be so nervous.
“You think you look like a boy right now?”
After watching Little Muqing ponder for a while, Zhang Xiaoling still couldn’t understand what she meant. She frowned and asked with a subtle expression.
“Don’t I…?”
Little Muqing blinked, and her guilty conscience made her unconsciously look away towards her good brother.
Then she noticed that her good brother was wearing a strange smile, looking at her with an expression of watching a show, and didn’t say anything.
“You…”
Zhang Xiaoling looked Little Muqing up and down again, and for a moment, she felt like laughing inexplicably, while also being full of questions.
She didn’t understand, she really didn’t understand, that the Little Muqing before her, from head to toe, didn’t look like a boy in any way.
Frowning, she hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Xiaoling subtly retorted, “Do I?”
“Uh…”
“How do I look like a boy? Your chest?”
“…”
The conversation ended, and Little Muqing never expected that after putting on the Jade Pendant, she wouldn’t look like a boy.
But she was still reluctant to believe it, as she had looked in the mirror and felt there wasn’t much difference from before.
This… should just be a personal issue, Little Muqing thought.
“Are you binding your chest?”
Halfway up the stairs, Zhang Xiaoling remembered that Little Muqing wasn’t flat-chested. Although not as big as hers.
“Kind of.”
Little Muqing’s eyebrows twitched twice, and she tried hard to suppress her urge to loudly tell Zhang Xiaoling that she was cross-dressing, not binding her chest.
However, it didn’t really count as male attire either, because the winter school uniform was the same for both genders, and everyone looked the same when wearing the school uniform jacket.
As for the clothes inside, she was wearing more comfortable, cute female attire that her mother bought for her.
Originally, she wanted to wear male attire, but she thought since no one would see it, why not wear something nice… ahem, more fitting?
On a side note, the weather today was quite cold, and if she only wore the winter school pants, her legs would feel the chill.
Little Muqing: So… hehe~ Pantyhose are the best!
ヾ(✿ﾟ▽ﾟ)ノ
“Ah? Why would you bind your chest!”
Zhang Xiaoling’s exclamation brought Little Muqing back from her thoughts instantly.
She was very surprised that Zhang Xiaoling would react so strongly and that her voice was so loud.
Fortunately, it was still early, and there weren’t many people in the hallway, otherwise Little Muqing felt she would have been mortified in an instant.
“Wh-what’s wrong?”
Frowning slightly, Little Muqing asked with a subtle expression.
“Binding your chest will affect your development.”
Realizing something, Zhang Xiaoling lowered her voice a bit, but her eyes were still filled with surprise.
“It’s okay.”
“What do you mean it’s okay? You’re already small enough, do you want to become even smaller?”
“Uh, this…”
Faced with Zhang Xiaoling’s lecture, Little Muqing really wanted to say that her B-cup wasn’t small and that it beat at least fifty percent of women nationwide.
But looking at her ample assets… well, she was really small.
As they chatted, the three of them soon arrived at the classroom door.
Because she was chatting with Zhang Xiaoling, Little Muqing didn’t notice that when she walked towards the classroom, the passersby around them were stunned.
What did they see? Isn’t this the campus belle who was famous last semester?
Although she didn’t appear often and her hairstyle had changed, many people recognized her as ‘Lin Muxue’ at a glance.
Also, she was walking very close to Ye Ziming, which was a crucial piece of information, as ‘Lin Muxue’ and Ye Ziming were a couple.
And compared to these passersby, the most surprised should be Little Muqing’s classmates.
As the three entered the classroom and returned to their seats from the previous semester, the boys who had arrived early were all dumbfounded.
Boy A: “Wait a minute, isn’t that Lin Muxue? Why is she in our class?”
Boy B: “Uh, is there a possibility that she’s actually Lin Muqing?”
Boy C: “How is that possible? Lin Muqing is a boy, isn’t he? Does she look like a boy at all? And look how close she is to Ye Ziming, that’s definitely couple behavior.”
Boy A: “Wait, don’t you remember the winter break, that moments post…”
As this sentence was uttered, a group of boys who had been whispering suddenly gasped collectively.
At that time, Lin Muqing suddenly posted a confession on Moments late at night, then Ye Ziming posted a public acceptance, and then news spread that they were together!
With just three Moments posts, it felt like a whole drama series.
Newly joined Boy D: “I still think it’s Lin Muxue because I don’t think she looks like a boy.”
Boy E: “I don’t think she looks like a boy either.”
Long time lurking Boy F: “Why can’t it be Lin Muqing cross-dressing?”
“Hiss!”
The group collectively gasped again.
Come to think of it, combined with the Moments incident, they suddenly felt this possibility was higher.
“Lin Muqing Cross-dresses to Conquer Ye Ziming” “Lin Muqing Marries Ye Ziming in Disguise”…
Phones are a good thing, besides being used for whispering without others hearing, they can also be used to spread news.
Before long, the news of ‘Lin Muxue’s’ appearance on campus had spread, along with the fact that she had entered the same classroom as Ye Ziming.
Although not many people at school knew Lin Muqing, their general thoughts were similar to those of the boys in the class.
The school stipulates that at the end of each semester, as long as your grades are good enough, you can apply to move up to the advanced class.
Therefore, for a moment, some people thought it was Lin Muqing, while others thought it was Lin Muxue.
Regarding this, Ye Ziming wanted to say: You all guessed right, but you all guessed wrong.
“Hi, Lin Muqing.”
While the boys were still speculating and reasoning, the girls, who already knew the truth, were greeting Little Muqing and chatting with her.
The most surprising topic among them was that Little Muqing had changed to short hair instead of long hair.
“Relax, it’ll be fine.”
Placing his summer homework on the desk, Ye Ziming gently patted Little Muqing’s shoulder and whispered in her ear.
“Look, they’re just surprised to see you, they’ll look at you a few more times, it’s not a problem at all.”
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and Ye Ziming comforted Little Muqing with a faint smile.
At this moment, she looked really nervous, and the expression on her face was obviously unnatural when she greeted the girls.
