My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Going Upstairs to Change Clothes
“Umm… are you serious?”
Wang Wenxin, sitting at the same table, broke out in a cold sweat after listening. Her gaze towards Zhang Xiaoling became a bit subtle.
Although she had a similar feeling, it was only a tiny bit, and she quickly dismissed it herself.
“Emmm, I don’t know, but my intuition tells me it’s very similar.”
As she spoke, she looked at her phone again, at Ye Ziming on the screen, and the blurry girl next to him.
Tipping her head, she wondered if Xiaomuqing would achieve that effect with a wig.
“Cough, cough, they wouldn’t be gay, would they?”
Wang Wenxin also glanced at the photo, then frowned and said awkwardly.
She didn’t know about Ye Ziming, but she knew Xiaomuqing liked Eromanga Sensei.
Although it was an anime character, it at least showed she liked girls, not boys.
“That’s true.”
Zhang Xiaoling also thought of this, so she shook her head, forcing the strange thought away.
She deleted the photo casually. If she kept looking, that strange thought might pop up again.
After some time, the two of them arrived at the old residential area where Xiaomuqing lived and stood downstairs at her home.
The neighborhood was dilapidated and old. Even the card-swiping door on the first floor was installed in recent years. There was no such thing before, and there wasn’t even a door on the first floor.
“Wait, boss, you can just wait downstairs, I’ll be down soon.”
After opening the door with the access card, Xiaomuqing opened the door and entered, only to be surprised to find her good brother following her in.
She immediately turned around, blocking her good brother, and tried to push him out with both hands.
Gosh, if her good brother followed her upstairs and discovered her secret, would her high school life still be salvageable?!
“…Okay.”
Looking at Xiaomuqing’s eyes, Ye Ziming hesitated for a moment, then nodded, following her wishes, and walked outside.
If he didn’t want to move, Xiaomuqing wouldn’t be able to do anything, no matter how hard she tried.
“Phew~ I’m going up then.”
Quietly wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, Xiaomuqing gave her good brother a somewhat awkward smile and then turned to go upstairs.
“Remember to put on that new outfit.”
Just as the door was about to be closed, Ye Ziming suddenly remembered something.
He reached out a hand to grab the doorknob and said seriously and earnestly to Xiaomuqing inside.
This matter was very important, at least in his opinion, so he had to remind her specifically.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Xiaomuqing.
“Ah, this…”
Her body, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. After hearing him, she paused for a moment, then turned her head back awkwardly.
Just now, she was thinking if she could muddle through and pretend she had forgotten about it.
But who knew her good brother would bring it up proactively? This was a bit difficult to handle…
“O… okay.”
Awkwardly raising one hand, she gave her good brother an awkward smile, and used her fingers to make an OK sign.
Her mood was complicated. She went upstairs all the way back home, then walked to the balcony and looked at the female attire.
Although it wasn’t a skirt, the sense of shame after putting it on was only a tiny bit less than a skirt.
Emmm, her good brother asked her to wear it, not that she wanted to wear it herself. She was merely keeping a promise.
So her male dignity was still intact, and had never been lost.
Yes, that’s right. This logic was perfect.
Xiaomuqing had to give herself a thumbs-up here!
Thinking this, she picked up the clothes hanger, took down the clothes hanging on it, and then spent a little time changing into them.
A long T-shirt and short shorts highlighted her innocent aura. She looked very cute, somewhat resembling Eromanga Sensei’s outfit.
If others saw her, they would probably ask if she was in the second or third year of junior high.
“Boss, let’s go.”
Hurrying downstairs, the first thing she did after opening the door was to quickly walk up to her good brother and urge him to leave quickly.
She was like a thief, afraid of being seen by anyone.
“Mm.”
As she said that, she glanced at the clothes Xiaomuqing was wearing, then turned and walked towards Uncle Liu’s location.
At this time, Uncle Liu had already parked the car by the roadside, waiting for the two of them to get in, and then depart anytime.
“Phew~”
Seeing her good brother open the door and stand by, Xiaomuqing hurried to get in. After Ye Ziming also entered the car and closed the door,
She finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking thankfully no one saw her.
Wearing these clothes, Xiaomuqing didn’t dare to go out and meet people. She didn’t even know how she would face the maid sisters at the cafe later.
“Hey, how does it feel?”
After letting out a sigh of relief, Xiaomuqing noticed her good brother looking at her, his eyes seemed a bit strange.
She said this while tidying her clothes, sitting up properly on the seat, and looking at her good brother with some confusion.
She wanted to know what he thought of her.
“Very nice, just the shoes don’t match.”
Ye Ziming frowned slightly and looked at Xiaomuqing’s shoes with some displeasure, then gave his evaluation.
When Xiaomuqing walked out just now, he felt a sense of being amazed because she was so cute.
But as his gaze moved down, he saw those old black sports shoes.
At first glance, he knew they were rarely washed, or possibly never washed.
The aesthetic beauty that had just been established was instantly ruined. It was like a rotten vegetable leaf appearing in a delicate dish, truly unbearable!
Mistake! He didn’t think of this last night. Ye Ziming held his forehead with one hand, feeling somewhat self-reproachful.
“Huh?”
A little surprised, she then looked down at her shoes. Xiaomuqing felt there was nothing wrong with them.
Their thinking processes were a bit different, which led to different conclusions.
So Ye Ziming made up his mind to pick out a pair for Xiaomuqing at that time… at least two pairs of shoes.
As long as they looked good, regardless of the price!
Without taking much time, the car arrived at the back door of the cafe. Then the two of them opened the car doors and got out.
Skillfully entering through the back door, Xiaomuqing went to the lounge, while Ye Ziming went directly to the office.
As soon as he pushed open the lounge door, he saw Sister Yu standing at the door of the changing room, looking like she had just finished changing.
“Sister Yu.”
Habitually raising her hand to greet her, Xiaomuqing then prepared to enter the changing room to change clothes.
“Hmm… Hmm!?”
Yu Jie’s reaction was the same as Ye Ziming’s. She was first amazed by Xiaomuqing’s outfit, thinking she looked very cute in it.
But after seeing those shoes, she frowned instantly, her face clearly showing displeasure, even a bit of disgust.
If possible, Yu Jie wanted to take off those shoes and throw them away. Xiaomuqing would look much better even barefoot.
Unfortunately, Xiaomuqing didn’t notice her gaze and walked towards the changing room on her own.
After seeing Xiaomuqing enter the changing room, Yu Jie cupped her chin with one hand.
She thought she was about to say something.
