My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 62

Chapter 62
Ye Ziming had a feeling he’d never experienced before, and for a moment, he didn’t know what was going on, even falling into a state of perplexity.
It was the evening before last, the first time he’d seen Xiaomuqing in a cat-ear maid outfit.
He hadn’t slept well that night at all; every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was Xiaomuqing, almost making him want to chew sleeping pills.
Because he thought Xiaomuqing was a man at the time, he felt even more uncomfortable.
However, the next day in the afternoon, he saw a scene like this: Xiaomuqing, with long hair, appeared before him.
After that, he tested Xiaomuqing multiple times, and the results seemed a bit strange.
But it didn’t have a big impact; he was basically certain that Xiaomuqing had been lying and carefully disguising Oneself.
Knowing the truth, he didn’t want to expose it immediately but wanted to slowly, little by little, remove Xiaomuqing’s disguise.
With that thought, he tapped on the transfer interface and sent Sister Yu a sum of money; these were Xiaomuqing’s various underwear bills.
After finishing these Matters, Ye Ziming turned off his phone screen and returned to work.
A faint smile hung on his face; it was clear he was in a good mood.
“Pfft~ Were you raised on cuteness?”
In the coffee shop’s lounge, Sister Yu saw Xiaomuqing’s face still flushed and couldn’t help but walk over and rub her cheek.
It felt good, just a bit thin. It would be better if she gained a little weight.
“Hmm~ Sister Yu~”
Seeing Sister Yu’s hands reach out, Xiaomuqing subconsciously tried to dodge, but didn’t quite succeed.
At this time, she felt like her face was like a ball of dough, being kneaded into various shapes by Sister Yu, unable to even speak clearly.
“Alright, hurry up and get to work. If you don’t go soon, the shop manager might be waiting impatiently.”
After a while, Sister Yu finally let go of Xiaomuqing and said with a smile.
“Oh.”
She raised her hand to her cheek, which felt a bit numb. She didn’t know if it had changed shape.
After nodding at Sister Yu, Xiaomuqing walked toward the lounge door, holding her cheek.
She wondered why her good brother would be waiting impatiently. She was just a secretary, what was so special about her that he’d wait?
“Haha~ The shop manager is really generous.”
After watching Xiaomuqing leave, Sister Yu lowered her head and looked at her phone, smiling to Herself.
For some reason, she turned and went into the changing room, picking up two ‘clothes’ that Xiaomuqing had just tried on.
She packed them into another bag and prepared to give them to the shop manager, Ye Ziming.
“Hehe.”
After finishing these tasks, Sister Yu stood in the empty lounge, gradually breaking into a funny smile.
In the office, Ye Ziming checked the time, then looked up toward the door.
Gradually, he couldn’t help but frown, feeling confused at the same time. He wondered why Xiaomuqing hadn’t arrived yet. Had something happened?
The next time he looked at the door, two soft knocks finally came.
The office door slowly pushed open, and then a small figure, through the narrow gap, carefully squeezed into the office.
Seeing this, Ye Ziming’s frown instantly relaxed because the person had finally appeared.
“You were waiting for me?”
After entering the office and closing the door behind Her, when Xiaomuqing looked at the desk, she noticed her good brother staring at her.
So, she tilted her head a bit in confusion and blinked her eyes as she asked her good brother.
“No.”
He quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to continue his work, his eyes changing subtly.
Once again, Ye Ziming, who usually disdained lying, had lied about such a trivial matter.
Frowning again, he didn’t know the reason why.
“Let’s start working. The sooner we finish, the sooner we leave.”
After withdrawing his gaze, to cover up the previous awkwardness, Ye Ziming added.
“Oh, okay.”
Nodding, Xiaomuqing sat down next to the office and began her work.
Although she felt her good brother’s gaze was a bit strange, Xiaomuqing didn’t think too much about it.
Once she got into her work, she quickly forgot about it.
This was her third day as a secretary, and Xiaomuqing had basically mastered how to use the computer and process those scattered income and expense bills.
However, in the end, she still had to trouble her good brother to help her finish up.
“Let’s go eat first.”
After a simple look at Xiaomuqing’s work, Ye Ziming nodded, feeling quite satisfied, and then said softly to her.
After speaking, he casually picked up his water cup, brought it to his lips, and took a slow sip before placing it back on the desk.
“Ah… oh.”
When Xiaomuqing heard her good brother’s words, she intended to stand up and leave the office to go eat.
But she suddenly noticed that the water cup in her good brother’s hand seemed to be the one she had used yesterday.
Seeing him drink so naturally, she immediately realized that this water cup must belong to her good brother.
Emmm, it’s a bit awkward.
Could this be considered an indirect kiss?
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing Xiaomuqing hadn’t left yet, Ye Ziming turned his head in confusion and asked.
“Ah, nothing.”
Withdrawing her gaze as if shocked, she then turned and left the office.
Her eyes widened a bit, feeling embarrassed.
Ye Ziming, who remained in the office, didn’t think much of it. He took this opportunity to open a stock APP and began earning himself some pocket money.
Halfway through his research, the office door was knocked on again.
Based on the force of the knock, Ye Ziming instantly guessed it wasn’t Xiaomuqing, so he didn’t smile. He simply said “Enter” in a flat tone.
Then, Sister Yu appeared at the office door. She held a bag in her hand and had a strange smile on her face.
“Shop manager, this is for you.”
Entering the office, she placed the bag on the desk and gave shop manager Ye Ziming a meaningful smile before turning to leave.
The whole operation was smooth and swift. Before Ye Ziming could ask what it was, Sister Yu had already left the office, closing the door behind Her.
“?”
Slowly forming a question mark, Ye Ziming confessed he was a bit confused.
Driven by curiosity, he took the bag and reached inside to feel.
The fabric felt good, and it was quite pretty for such a small item.
“!?”
At this moment, Ye Ziming’s eyelids twitched violently. He felt that this thing was unusually hot to the touch.
Startled, he quickly put it away and placed the entire bag under the desk, afraid of being seen.
He took out his phone and opened WeChat to ask Sister Yu for clarification, but before he could even start typing, she had already sent him a message.
[Sister Yu: This is something Xiaomuqing just wore. You can return it to her, or take it home and keep it safe. Perhaps she’ll need it someday.]
After reading this long message, Ye Ziming felt like his whole world had fallen apart.
Give it back to her?
How could he give it back?
If anyone asked and found out he had it, wouldn’t he be utterly mortified on the spot?!
