My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 421

Chapter 421, Chapter Four Hundred and Eighteenth: Stupid Nephew and Good Bestie
Taking her suitcase, sending a VX to her bestie (Zhang Xiaoling), Xiaomuqing officially set off for the seaside.
Coincidentally, the Ye family had participated in a project near the tourist area before, so they knew people there and directly rented a villa to stay in.
Including Zhang Xiaoling, Wang Wenxin, and Xiaomuqing’s two cheap nephews, the total of six people could fit perfectly.
Four rooms for six people, Xiaomuqing would definitely share a room with Ye Ziming, but how to arrange the remaining three rooms…
Hehe~ That wasn’t her business anymore.
In the car, Xiaomuqing listened to music and told her good brother about the recent situation of her two young nephews that she had inquired about.
First, it was Meng Wenhao. It wasn’t until he graduated and held his graduation party that she learned that this nephew had gotten together with Wang Wenxin, and it had been for some time.
Xiaomuqing was surprised when she heard this news, she never expected the two of them to get together.
However, upon closer thought, they looked quite compatible, and it didn’t seem surprising that they often hung out together and became a couple.
As for Lin Wenbin…
“A few days ago, I heard that the big party Lin Wenbin threw that day was actually to confess to Zhang Xiaoling.
“But he was incredibly cowardly, and by the end of the party, he still didn’t dare to confess publicly. In the end, he confessed to her by the roadside when he was sending Zhang Xiaoling home.
“Hahahaha! Wang Wenxin happened to pass by when he confessed, and then she told me about it.”
Xiaomuqing told Ye Ziming the news she had found out while holding her stomach and laughing heartily.
Lin Wenbin’s crush on Zhang Xiaoling was no longer a secret in the class; they were childhood sweethearts.
According to Wang Wenxin’s description, Zhang Xiaoling was stunned at the time, especially when she heard Lin Wenbin say that he had liked her since he was a child.
“Pfft.”
Ye Ziming leaned back in the car seat and smiled, the corners of his mouth curved up. It was unclear whether he found Lin Wenbin’s story funny or was amused by Xiaomuqing.
The way she covered her stomach while laughing heartily was indeed very cute.
Time passed quickly. Xiaomuqing finished telling her story, slept for a while, then woke up and played with her phone for a bit before they finally arrived at their destination.
This was a residential area that, in addition to a villa area, also had some high-rise residential buildings. It was said that most of them were short-term rental homestays.
After getting out of the car, the two went to a place to pick up the room key and then officially checked into the villa.
“Wow~ It’s the sea.”
Arriving on the second floor, Xiaomuqing walked out onto the balcony, feeling the slightly salty sea breeze.
The villa was well-located, and you could see the sea from the balcony. It was only a ten-minute walk downstairs to get to the public beach.
At the same time, this villa had a small courtyard, which could be used for an outdoor barbecue tonight, which was delightful.
Coincidentally, just as Ye Ziming finished putting his things away and came to the balcony to accompany Xiaomuqing to feel the sea breeze, Zhang Xiaoling and her group arrived downstairs.
The four of them set off from South City and could fit in one car, so they arrived at the same time.
After leading them into the villa, Xiaomuqing stood in the living room on the first floor with her hands on her hips and said with a smile to the four of them:
“Ahem, there are three rooms on the second floor and one on the first floor. Two people per room, and the remaining three rooms are yours, no problem.”
Since she paid for it, Xiaomuqing naturally took the master bedroom, which was the largest room.
Upon hearing Xiaomuqing’s words, everyone looked at each other for a moment, with various expressions in their eyes.
In Xiaomuqing’s opinion, whether Zhang Xiaoling shared a room with Meng Wenhao or Zhang Xiaoling shared a room with Lin Wenbin, both were outcomes she particularly wanted to see.
However, what she didn’t expect was that while she waited for the four to discuss with a comical expression and full of anticipation, Zhang Xiaoling suddenly said:
“Xiaowen and I will share a room, and you guys can have one each.”
Xiaomuqing: Dammit, I miscalculated. (Pouting)
And so, everyone took their luggage and chose which room to stay in by rolling dice.
After checking in, it was already approaching evening. Everyone started to tidy things up and prepare for the outdoor barbecue.
“How are you two doing?”
While preparing the barbecue, the boys were busy setting up the grill, and the girls were responsible for preparing the barbecue food.
While skewering meat, Xiaomuqing suddenly thought of the conversation they had in the car and leaned over to gossip with Zhang Xiaoling.
One was her stupid nephew, and the other was her good bestie; she was really curious.
“What how are we doing?”
Glancing at Xiaomuqing, Zhang Xiaoling lowered her head and continued to cut vegetables, pretending not to understand what she said and continued with her work.
“It’s about you and Lin Wenbin.”
Xiaomuqing chuckled, she didn’t believe Zhang Xiaoling couldn’t understand what she was talking about.
Moreover, as she spoke, Wang Wenxin from the other side also came over, wanting to gossip about Zhang Xiaoling and Lin Wenbin.
Wang Wenxin: “Yeah, yeah, how are you two? Are you together yet?”
“Wha… what together, he and I are just friends.”
“Oh? Just friends?”
“Hehe~ We don’t really believe that.”
One on her left and one on her right, Xiaomuqing and Wang Wenxin sandwiched Zhang Xiaoling in between, with matching auntie smiles on their faces.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoling, rarely flustered, had a subtle blush on her earlobes.
She hadn’t accepted Lin Wenbin’s confession that day, but she hadn’t rejected it either.
The main reason was that the matter was too sudden, and she couldn’t handle it for a moment, so she told Lin Wenbin that she needed to consider it.
Several days had passed, and she still hadn’t given him a reply, but Lin Wenbin acted as if nothing had happened and came to pick her up as usual today.
He was no different than before, greeting her enthusiastically and smiling as he helped her with her things.
Zhang Xiaoling didn’t know what to do. At this moment, listening to her friends gossiping around her, she couldn’t help but secretly glance at Lin Wenbin, who was fiddling with the barbecue grill.
She didn’t know what liking was. Zhang Xiaoling only knew that she didn’t dislike Lin Wenbin, nor did she find anything wrong with him.
“Oh my, you seem embarrassed.”
“Someone’s blushing, but I won’t say who. Hehe.”
While Zhang Xiaoling was lost in thought, Xiaomuqing and Wang Wenxin were still looking at her with comical expressions and smiling faces.
“Huh?”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoling snapped back to attention, surprised, and raised her hand to touch her cheek.
Then she quickly realized she had been tricked because she wasn’t blushing at all, although she did seem a bit shy…
“Rotten loli, you’re the one who’s blushing.”
Zhang Xiaoling didn’t care. She took out her phone and used it as a mirror to check, then retorted to Xiaomuqing, refusing to admit that she was embarrassed.
Xiaomuqing: “You’re the rotten loli, nya nya nya. Wang Wenxin also said you were looking, why don’t you retort to her?”
Zhang Xiaoling: “Anyway, you’re a rotten loli, both rotten and stupid.”
Xiaomuqing: “You…”
Wang Wenxin: “Xiaoling is right.”
Xiaomuqing: No, weren’t we on the same side?
