My Best Friend is Actually a Cat-eared Maid at a Cafe! – Chapter 66

The pink lips trembled slightly, as if wanting to say something.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes blinked at Ye Ziming, and she seemed to be waiting for his evaluation.
“Very nice.”
After being stunned, Ye Ziming quickly snapped back to attention. He suppressed his slightly excited heart and said with a smile.
Unconsciously, he felt his breathing deepen, and his composure was becoming difficult to maintain.
This feeling, perhaps, was love, Ye Ziming thought.
“Is that so? That’s good then.”
She had been a little nervous earlier, it was the first time someone was doing her makeup, and she felt a bit anxious.
However, after hearing her good brother say that, she couldn’t help but feel relieved, thinking there shouldn’t be any problems.
In order to attend Comiket without being recognized by acquaintances, she had no choice but to accept the makeup, so she felt a little helpless.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you out to play.”
With a faint smile, Ye Ziming pointed to the exit and said softly to Xiaomuqing.
“Mhm.”
Xiaomuqing got excited at this. Her purpose for coming to Comiket wasn’t to join in on the work, but to play.
Of course, the extra income Sister Yu mentioned was also part of her goal, and Xiaomuqing declared she wanted it all!
“Do you know what your identity is today?”
As they walked out of the large tent, Ye Ziming looked up and touched Xiaomuqing’s head, including the fluffy cat ears on top.
He asked softly at the same time.
“Identity?”
Suddenly stunned, Xiaomuqing looked up blankly, her eyes wide open, not understanding what her good brother meant.
“Today, I am the young master, and you are my exclusive maid, understand?”
As he spoke, Ye Ziming pointed to Xiaomuqing, then to his own outfit, and said with a smile.
Only then did Xiaomuqing notice that her good brother’s attire today was not as low-key as usual.
From a glance, he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.
Combined with his consistently cool and aloof “male god” persona, and his unique aura, Xiaomuqing felt it was incredible.
“Role-playing?”
Xiaomuqing quickly reacted and said with a bit of excitement.
“Mm, something like that.”
Nodding, Ye Ziming replied with a smile.
“Heehee~ Young Master, where are we going to play today?”
With a playful mindset, Xiaomuqing quickly got into character. She covered her mouth with one hand and asked Ye Ziming with a smile, a hint of teasing in her expression.
“I’ll take you to Comiket for a day of fun.”
Seeing the teasing in Xiaomuqing’s eyes, Ye Ziming didn’t mind. He just smiled and stroked her head, along with the fluffy cat ear accessory on it.
Then, he took her to stroll around Comiket.
As soon as they entered the Comiket venue, Xiaomuqing noticed many people in cosplay, with all sorts of characters appearing.
Unfortunately, Xiaomuqing wasn’t a seasoned otaku (male or female), so she could only recognize a few characters here and there.
“It’s crowded here, be careful not to get separated.”
Halfway through, Ye Ziming suddenly grabbed Xiaomuqing’s small hand and held it.
Seeing Xiaomuqing turn her head to look at him confusedly, he quickly gave his explanation (a weak excuse).
“Mm-hmm.”
The joy of Comiket made Xiaomuqing not think too much. Thus, she was held hand-in-hand by her good brother and continued to stroll.
Almost everything here was very novel to Xiaomuqing, and she wanted to see it all.
So, a scene unfolded: a cat-eared maid excitedly pulled a young master from a wealthy family around everywhere.
The cat-eared maid was very cute, and the young master was very handsome. Perhaps “golden boy and jade girl” was a fitting description for such a pair.
Such a striking combination naturally attracted people to take photos or ask for a group photo.
“A group photo with me? That might not be a good idea.”
When asked for a photo, Xiaomuqing glanced at a female photographer holding her camera and showing a lustful smile.
This made her feel uneasy, and her eyelids twitched involuntarily. She wanted to get away from the person.
So, after saying this, she hid behind her good brother and cautiously peeked out at the photographer.
“She’s my maid.”
At this moment, Ye Ziming stepped forward in time, adopting a protective stance, and looked at the other person expressionlessly.
His intended expressionless look wasn’t perceived that way by others.
Passersby just thought he was tall and cold, but since he was handsome, they couldn’t help but look at him a few more times.
“Wow~ I don’t want a group photo anymore, just let me take a picture like this. Please!”
By the last three words, the photographer was about to yell, and her smile became even more excited.
The “cold and aloof young master protecting his shy little maid” scenario wasn’t just something the photographer wanted to capture; everyone around wanted to take pictures.
“…”
Ye Ziming frowned slightly. He didn’t stop them, but he felt that the photographer was a bit much.
That lustful smile made his eyelids twitch.
Fortunately, the other party didn’t do anything strange. She just took a few photos and then moved on to bother others.
“Emm, we seem to know that person.”
Emerging from behind her good brother, Xiaomuqing looked at the female photographer who was bothering others, and for a moment, she didn’t know how to describe her feelings.
After watching for a while, she suddenly felt that the female photographer looked familiar.
“She’s in our neighboring class.”
Ye Ziming looked at the female photographer and then at Xiaomuqing beside him, and reminded her.
“I remember someone saying there’s a girl in our neighboring class who, besides photography, writes novels every day. But she usually doesn’t wear glasses.”
After hearing that, Xiaomuqing’s face showed a look of understanding, recalling some rumors she had heard.
The novels she wrote were said to be of the type that couldn’t be shown publicly and would definitely be flagged for obscenity if uploaded.
“Mm, you can ask her for the photos then.”
“Ah… maybe I’ll pass on that.”
While chatting, the two didn’t stand still but continued to stroll around Comiket.
As for getting photos, Xiaomuqing felt she hadn’t lived enough and didn’t want to die of embarrassment.
“Do you want me to help you?”
Ye Ziming gently squeezed Xiaomuqing’s small hand, a faint smile returning to his face as he spoke to himself.
He was quite interested in this photo.
He had glanced earlier and noticed that the camera was expensive, so the photos should turn out very well. They could try them out later.
“I’m not too interested.”
Xiaomuqing raised an eyebrow. After thinking about it, she chose to shake her head.
What neither of them knew was that they wouldn’t need to go pick up the photos. They would be delivered themselves, through the internet.
Because it was approaching noon, the female photographer sent some of the photos she had taken to a friend for post-processing while she was on break.
This friend happened to be her classmate.
When this classmate saw Ye Ziming in the photos, standing next to a cute cat-eared girl, she was shocked.
“Holy crap! The rumored girlfriend of Ye Ziming! A shocking big scoop! If I don’t become famous from this, it’s against heavenly principles!”
