My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 504

Chapter 504: Chapter 499: Feeling Like a Big Loss
Before Xiaomuqing could react, Ye Ziming gently lifted the blanket, revealing his small head and a section of his fair shoulder, like an enoki mushroom.
At this moment, her small face was flushed red, whether from shyness or embarrassment, her eyes were wide and her small mouth was slightly open, like a startled little deer looking at Ye Ziming, not knowing what to do.
Her long hair was scattered on the bed, with a part of it falling on her shoulders and a small strand hanging near the corner of Xiaomuqing’s mouth.
She seemed unaware, her cherry-like thin lips moved slightly, alluring and giving a sense of ambiguous intimacy.
Ye Ziming’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. Unconsciously, blue veins protruded on the back of his palm, which was gripping the blanket, as if he was enduring something.
“Wake up, lazy bug.”
With a doting voice, Ye Ziming calmly suppressed the desire that surged within him. He smiled and spoke to Xiaomuqing, while reaching out to brush away the strand of hair near her mouth.
His movements were very light, as if he were caressing a delicate and fragile work of art, extremely careful and gentle.
Looking at Ye Ziming like this, Xiaomuqing was a little stunned.
When his fingertips touched that strand of hair and her slightly parted lips, which were parted in a daze, Xiaomuqing trembled.
This was like a switch, reminding her of fragmented memories from last night. Her cheeks turned redder, even her shoulders were tinged with a blush, creating a very ambiguous scene.
“Um… you…”
Looking at Ye Ziming, then at his hand, Xiaomuqing flinched slightly and instinctively retreated, flustered and not knowing what to say.
Too embarrassed to show her face, she wanted to pull the blanket over her head again, but Ye Ziming was holding the blanket, leaving her no chance to hide.
“Me? What’s wrong?”
Ye Ziming chuckled lightly, his gaze deep and unreadable.
“Nothing.”
Letting out a weak, submissive sound, Xiaomuqing averted her gaze, avoiding eye contact with Ye Ziming.
Ye Ziming: “Don’t want to get up?”
Xiaomuqing: “…” I don’t want to see you.
“It’s half past ten, if you don’t get up soon, the sun will be up your butt.”
“!? It’s already ten o’clock?”
Greatly surprised, Xiaomuqing felt like she had only slept for a moment, and she didn’t expect to wake up at this time. She thought it was still early because she still felt a little sleepy, like she hadn’t slept enough.
What surprised her was also Ye Ziming’s tone of voice. He was usually not like this… she didn’t know how to describe it.
If his friends heard this, their surprise would surely be no less than hers.
“…”
Thinking that Xiaomuqing still had no intention of getting up, and she was naked, without any clothes on, Ye Ziming hadn’t even given he one of his clothes. How could she get up?
“Or, lazy bug, do you want me to help you?”
With a hint of slyness, Ye Ziming narrowed his eyes slightly, extended his hands, and made as if to lift the blanket to help the lazy bug get up.
These words startled Xiaomuqing, and she retreated again, hurriedly exclaiming, “N-no need!”
Helplessly, under Ye Ziming’s gaze, Xiaomuqing had to shuffle back little by little, and under the blanket, she got out of bed from the other side and then ran to the restroom.
She could have asked Ye Ziming to get her some clothes, or just taken something from the closet herself, but she didn’t dare. When people panic, they don’t think of so many things.
Only after she entered the bathroom did Ye Ziming realize that he had forgotten to get her some clothes.
“Puchi.”
Looking at the somewhat clumsy, petite figure, Ye Ziming couldn’t help but chuckle, a mischievous laugh.
After laughing, he turned and picked up his phone. It was a bit late for breakfast, so he decided to order lunch directly.
In the bathroom, Xiaomuqing locked the door and stood in front of the vanity mirror, stunned.
She took a few steps after getting out of bed and only then realized that not only was her waist a little sore, but her legs were also a bit weak, and there seemed to be a strange mark on her neck.
Hmm, he’s so bad, he actually did so many bad things when she wasn’t awake, making her feel so strange, and she didn’t have many memories of it.
She was very angry, and inexplicably felt like she had lost a lot, like losing a hundred million.
Recalling, the first time was very painful and the overall experience was not very good. The second time she was really drunk and had no consciousness, so the overall experience was also not very good. Then, if she were to be sober next time…
As she thought of this, Xiaomuqing suddenly waved her hands in panic, shaking her head vigorously to banish those strange thoughts.
What third time? If it weren’t for the accident, there wouldn’t even be a second time, right? She didn’t want such a thing to happen again!
…
After a period of internal struggle, Xiaomuqing finished washing up, wrapped herself in a slightly small bath towel, hugged the blanket with both hands, and quietly opened the bathroom door.
First, she poked her head out. Seeing no sign of Ye Ziming, she tiptoed and crept towards the room.
Coincidentally, as she was tiptoeing into the room, Ye Ziming happened to pass by the living room and saw the whole process.
Ye Ziming: “Clumsy, a bit cute.”
Two minutes later, Xiaomuqing casually grabbed a set of Ye Ziming’s clothes and appeared in the living room, wearing them loosely.
If she pulled the collar on the left shoulder, the right shoulder would be exposed. If she pulled the one on the right, the left would be exposed. If she pulled both at the same time… the front would be exposed.
Emmm, forget it. The clothes she changed into last night should be dry by now. She’ll change into them later, as she has to go back to school in the afternoon.
“Looking for something? Your clothes aren’t dry yet.”
Seeing Xiaomuqing looking towards the balcony, Ye Ziming quickly guessed what she was planning to do.
“Ah?”
Looking at the bright sun outside, Xiaomuqing thought that even if they weren’t dry, they should be almost there. But Ye Ziming told her:
“I just put the clothes out to dry this morning. They might be dry later.”
“Uh, why didn’t you put them out last night?”
“What do you think?”
Ye Ziming looked at Xiaomuqing meaningfully, then his gaze shifted down slightly, to her body.
They were busy with “important matters” last night and had no time to dry clothes. He only remembered to dry them this morning.
“Ah, this…”
Reacting a beat too late, Xiaomuqing blushed again as she realized why.
She seriously suspected that he did it on purpose, but she had no evidence.
Theoretically, clothes would dry quickly in such strong sunlight, but she had a class at 2 PM and had to leave early. It seemed unlikely to be enough time.
She sat on the sofa, took the glass of water handed to her by Ye Ziming, took a sip, picked up her phone, and thought about asking her roommates to bring her some clothes.
It wasn’t far from school, so it wouldn’t be too much trouble for them to bring her clothes and go to school together.
But if her roommates saw her like this, uh… Xiaomuqing dared not think about it and immediately rejected this plan.
Then, could she ask someone else, someone she trusted, who wouldn’t be too surprised even if they knew about these things, and who would help her keep it a secret?
Xiaomuqing thought of Fei Xun.
