Chapter 10: Can Someone This Shady Really Be a Guy?
Seeing this scene, Lin Muxi immediately lost her enthusiasm. Even her hope to take a photo with the pretty girl disappeared.
If it was a good-looking young lady, she would have rushed to take a picture. But why was it a greasy old man?!
Originally happily watching the drama, Lin Muxi’s expression quickly changed to disgust when she saw the old man. She stepped back a little, her eyes full of dislike.
“Sorry, she’s a little shy.”
Just as the old man lifted his camera again, Mo Ziyang stepped in front of Lin Muxi and the camera, acting like he was protecting her, looking coldly at the man.
“You better disappear from my sight now, or when I check the pictures on your camera, it won’t just be a warning.”
Mo Ziyang didn’t know why these people kept following them, but he was sure the photos they took were either inappropriate or used for bad reasons.
Realizing his secret photos were exposed and that he couldn’t get pictures of the cat-eared little maid, the old man with the camera glared angrily at the cold rich young master.
Clearly, Mo Ziyang was not someone he could mess with. But with years of sneaky photography experience, he wasn’t an easy target either.
Seeing a chance to make quick money, he knew thinking twice would mean disrespecting the money.
As long as he could get the photos, he didn’t care about the rich kid’s threats to delete them. So, during the standoff, he signaled to a skinny photographer nearby.
The skinny photographer took the hint and suddenly rushed toward Lin Muxi while Mo Ziyang was still blocking the old man.
Mo Ziyang didn’t even hesitate, he knew they were working together. He quickly kicked the skinny guy to the ground, pulled Lin Muxi behind him for protection, then punched the rushing old man.
With two screams, both attackers fell to the ground, curling up and struggling fiercely.
Seeing two people knocked down by Mo Ziyang, the others quickly put away their phones and cameras and disappeared into the crowd.
“Ahhh... Mo Ziyang, what are you doing?!”
Lin Muxi shouted in panic, staring at the two photographers lying on the ground with bloody noses and at Mo Ziyang’s bloody fists.
“Oh no, am I going to get taken to the police station with him?!”
Never having seen a fight with real blood before, Lin Muxi was stunned on the spot.
The chaos quickly attracted a crowd of onlookers. Seeing things about to get out of control, Mo Ziyang quickly stepped forward, blocking Lin Muxi with one hand and calling someone on his phone with the other. Then he cleared his throat and said,
“Ahem, these two are sneaky photographers who snuck into the convention to take secret photos. Security will be here soon to handle it. I remind all the girls in skirts to be careful.”
“What? Secret photos? There’s really something like that? I thought they were just…”
Hearing this, Lin Muxi’s legs trembled, and she quickly covered her butt with one hand, looking shocked at Mo Ziyang, as if asking if he was joking.
“You just don’t know. There are many people at conventions who secretly take photos of girls like that.”
After Mo Ziyang’s explanation, the security arrived and kicked the two sneaky photographers out. The crowd’s attention then shifted to Lin Muxi and Mo Ziyang.
After all, the cold, handsome rich young master protecting the cute cat-eared little maid looked like a perfect couple to them, a ship everyone loved.
The crowd only grew larger, with countless cameras flashing on them. Even people passing by with phones stopped to take photos.
“Well then, if nothing else, let’s go quickly!”
The growing crowd around them quickly overwhelmed Lin Muxi, who has social anxiety. She lowered her head, covered her face, and tried to pull Mo Ziyang away to leave quickly.
After everything that had happened, plus how she looked now, even though she was actually a tough guy inside, she felt deeply embarrassed.
Just then, a familiar person pushed through the crowd toward them.
“Hey, isn’t this the rich young master of the Mo family? Didn’t expect you’d bring a maid this time.”
Hearing the voice, Lin Muxi, who was trying to pull her good friend away, looked back and saw a boy dressed as a blond character, carrying a camera and a work ID, waving at them.
Looking closer, it was Xiao Luyu from the Xiao family, who was in the same grade as them.
Since the Xiao family had business ties with the Mo family, this young master naturally became Mo Ziyang’s follower at school. Through this, he also got to know Lin Muxi, who was Mo Ziyang’s close friend.
“Did you handle the matter?”
Mo Ziyang looked at his little follower, and they exchanged a glance, instantly letting Xiao Luyu know what he meant.
“Of course, I got it done. Don’t worry. I’ll take you there now.”
Xiao Luyu gestured for Mo Ziyang to follow him.
Without much fuss, Mo Ziyang grabbed Lin Muxi’s wrist, and together, surrounded by countless onlookers, they left.
“Hey! What’s going on? Why are you bringing me along?”
Pulled along, Lin Muxi clearly felt awkward. After all, holding hands with her good friend in public while wearing a maid outfit with so many cameras around wasn’t easy. She quietly asked Mo Ziyang while looking at the many cosplayers nearby.
“Is she really your maid?”
Hearing Lin Muxi’s question, Xiao Luyu turned to look at the cat-eared little maid behind Mo Ziyang, then squinted and carefully examined Lin Muxi.
Besides finding her especially cute, there was nothing else unusual, but he felt like there was some other kind of relationship between these two.
“Guess.”
When Xiao Luyu asked, Mo Ziyang just stared into his eyes and gave a slight smile, but the meaning behind his gaze was clear.
“Got it… understood.”
Hearing Mo Ziyang, Xiao Luyu was a bit surprised but quickly caught on. His look clearly said not to get any ideas about that little maid.
“But what exactly is their relationship?”
Xiao Luyu was curious but didn’t dare to ask. He had no idea the cat-eared maid was actually Mo Ziyang’s good friend Lin Muxi.
“Hey, what are you two talking about? Stop being so mysterious. And you, why do you always have that serious face? Don’t you get tired?”
Just then, Lin Muxi came over, looking at them like they were fools.
They ignored her before, and still now, so she asked Mo Ziyang with a meaningful tone.
Hearing this, Mo Ziyang suddenly looked a bit frustrated. If it wasn’t inconvenient, he would have argued or scolded Lin Muxi for being so cheeky.
Xiao Luyu, however, was surprised to see this little maid dare to talk to Mo Ziyang like that without getting hit. It was like seeing a rare species.
Having followed Mo Ziyang for a while, Xiao Luyu knew only one person dared to speak to him that way and not get punished was Lin Muxi.
Xiao Luyu knew Lin Muxi well. He often copied homework and test papers from him, and their relationship was good. Plus, since Lin Muxi and Mo Ziyang were such close buddies, Xiao Luyu often asked Lin Muxi about Mo Ziyang’s hobbies.
But the little maid in front of him didn’t look like Lin Muxi at all.
He watched Lin Muxi closely. From all angles, the maid was smaller and younger-looking. She just looked similar, but definitely wasn’t Lin Muxi.
Besides…
Xiao Luyu swallowed hard and glanced down at the maid’s skirt.
Those white stockings covered legs were really thin. Just by looking, he could tell the maid’s calves were probably thinner than his own arm. With those black little shoes, he was a bit stunned.
‘Could such sexy legs belong to a boy?’ Xiao Luyu thought it impossible for the maid to be Lin Muxi.
He wasn’t into guys, and since he was a guy, he was interested in this maid. So, this maid can’t be Lin Muxi.
‘Whoa... Could Mo Ziyang be dating someone?’ The sudden thought shocked Xiao Luyu himself.
Luckily, he didn’t say it out loud. If Mo Ziyang heard, he probably wouldn’t leave here in one piece today.
And so, Xiao Luyu kept wandering farther down this wrong path.
