Chapter 4: Want to See? You Have to Pay More!
“Let’s go. I still have some cosplay clothes at my house.”
Seeing Lin Muxi still sitting on the bed in a daze, looking like she was thinking about something, Mo Ziyang planned to take her to his home to get some cosplay outfits he had used for photo shoots before.
After all, since she was already wearing a wig, wouldn’t it be a waste not to dress up and go to the comic convention?
“Why are you still thinking about that…”
Looking at Mo Ziyang’s calm but slightly excited expression, Lin Muxi felt speechless, but she couldn’t refuse. This was the only way right now to make herself look less suspicious.
But she wasn’t even wearing a wig! And she definitely didn’t want to wear women’s clothes! Seriously, what man thinks about wearing women’s clothes all the time?
Since losing a bet with Mo Ziyang before, she had been forced to wear cosplay or women’s clothes he gave her and take a few photos for him.
And after the first time, Mo Ziyang seemed to have awakened some strange hobby. From then on, every bet they made involved women’s clothing photos.
“You look better in women’s clothes than most girls out there. Also, you don’t want your good bro to waste the money I spent, right?”
As he spoke, Mo Ziyang smiled faintly, as if waiting for her to give in.
“Uh… Stay away from me.”
"Surely you don't expect me to settle for just photos every day, do you?"
Lin Muxi gave him a disgusted look. She really didn’t understand why he had this kind of hobby.
Maybe that’s just what rich people do, they want something exciting and unusual because normal things don’t interest them.
“Sigh… fine, let’s go.”
With a helpless sigh, she grabbed her phone and keys, put on a hat, and stuffed her hair inside, ready to leave with him.
But seeing that hat, which looked completely out of place, Mo Ziyang frowned.
“So, how are we going to— Hey! What are you doing?”
Suddenly, Lin Muxi felt her head go cold and let out a cute little cry. Her smooth black hair fell down from her head.
She turned around and saw that Mo Ziyang had taken off her hat.
“If you’re trying to hide it, why not just leave it off? If you don’t want to take it off, just let it show.”
Seeing she didn’t want to remove the hat, Mo Ziyang moved closer and smiled at her.
He didn’t know why, but today Lin Muxi seemed extra cute, and she had a faint nice smell too.
And since she was so cute today, even he couldn’t help wanting to tease her a little.
“That voice just now was really cute~ How about you use a girl’s voice until the end of the comic convention?”
“What? Do you even hear yourself? I agreed to hang out with you, not to embarrass myself, okay?”
Hearing such a dumb suggestion, Lin Muxi was first shocked, then rolled her eyes at him.
But Mo Ziyang didn’t back down. He knew this friend of his too well.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out some red banknotes, and placed them in her hand while she stared in shock.
“I’ll hire you for a day. Is that enough?”
Lin Muxi felt both annoyed and amused. She was short on money lately and sometimes had to do part-time jobs just to cover living expenses and rent.
But there was no way she would sell out her dignity as a man for a bit of money!
“Mo Ziyang, I’m telling you, I’m not your servant! Don’t think you can buy my pride with some cash!”
Even though she said that, her eyes kept staring at the money in her hand without blinking.
Thinking about how this much money could pay for her breakfast for a month, she subconsciously swallowed. She was really tempted.
Of course, such small actions didn’t escape Mo Ziyang’s eyes. In his view, she basically had “I want it” written all over her face.
Victory was so close. He knew that with just a little more, she’d take the bait. He smiled and asked.
“So, what will it take then?”
“It… it has to be more. I’m not that cheap. And this is really embarrassing.”
“Deal.”
Holding the 800 yuan Mo Ziyang gave her, Lin Muxi’s face felt hot. Her heart felt strange too, but there was also an odd thrill.
Was this the twisting of human nature or the collapse of morals? She had actually agreed to cross-dress for Mo Ziyang for just a few hundred yuan.
“That’s better. You bring the looks, I bring the money. Today I’m going to show everyone how amazing my guest is.”
“Huh? What kind of weird competitive spirit is that? And I’m warning you, don’t drag me into your weird activities.”
Looking at Mo Ziyang, who was acting strange all day, Lin Muxi couldn’t figure out what was going on with him.
But for the sake of her own pride, she still gave Mo Ziyang a quick warning. After all, she was shy around strangers and didn’t want him to drag her into some weird events.
“Relax, I won’t.”
After promising her over and over, Mo Ziyang finally got what he wanted—he held Lin Muxi’s hand and walked out the door.
…………………………………
“Hey, do you even have a driver’s license? How dare you drive?”
Lin Muxi looked at the luxury sports car not far away, surrounded by people taking photos. Her small body instinctively stepped back, her eyes showing a bit of fear.
That was because Mo Ziyang didn’t look like someone who could drive. Besides, what high school senior drives a car? That’s impossible.
“You look down on your bro that much? Do you even know who I am?”
“Yes, yes, the young master of the Mo family from the capital, you’re the best.”
Lin Muxi said sarcastically, taking his license from his hand to have a look.
When she saw the age printed on it—22—she froze. She didn’t remember her “good brother” being that old.
“This… is this real? You’re not… 22.”
She stared at him in disbelief, her big eyes full of question marks.
“Of course it’s real. How could I learn to drive right after turning 18? I got it thanks to my family’s connections.”
When Lin Muxi heard this, she panicked. In her head, she could already imagine tomorrow’s headline: ‘Chinese rich kid races with girlfriend, causes a car accident…’
“Oh no… I’m not doing this, let go of me!”
She shook her head quickly, pulling away from him. She had no desire to end up in tomorrow’s news.
“Relax, I just changed my age. I passed the driving test for real.”
Seeing her panic, Mo Ziyang couldn’t help but think, how could this guy look so cute with just a wig and a different voice? It’s almost a shame he’s not actually a girl.
“Tsk… so this is what rich people are like.”
“You wait here for a bit.”
Ignoring her complaint, Mo Ziyang looked away, let go of her hand, put on sunglasses, and walked toward his car with the keys.
If Lin Muxi had turned her head at that moment, she would have seen the hungry look in his eyes, like he wanted to eat her alive.
The moment the car’s headlights lit up and the unlocking sound came, the crowd, and several pretty women taking photos near the car, noticed the sunglasses-wearing, designer-clothes-dressed Mo Ziyang holding the keys.
At first glance, they looked surprised. After all, he still looked like a high school student.
Based on their “experience,” plus his faint air of elegance, they could tell he was probably some young master from a rich family.
In their eyes, young guys like him were the easiest to deal with, give them a little sweetness and they’d be hooked.
As he approached, the women swayed their hips and walked toward him with seductive smiles.
“Hey handsome, want to give me a ride? I’m just about to have lunch but can’t find a taxi here.”
“No. Go away.”
He rejected her coldly without even glancing at her—looking every bit the “don’t come near me” ice prince.
Trying to flirt with me? he thought with disdain. I’ve seen girls hundreds of times prettier than this.
Seeing the first woman fail, the others rushed in, afraid someone else would snatch the “big fish.”
“Handsome, add me on WeChat. Let’s have dinner tonight.”
“Come on, handsome boy, I’ll take you somewhere fun.”
“Hey handsome, I want to—”
But as they swarmed around him, his face grew darker.
“Move. You’re annoying. Understand?”
Just that one sentence made the women freeze and step back.
Mo Ziyang had no patience for people who only acted respectful to him because of his status.
As the Mo family’s young master, he had no shortage of “bootlickers,” and he hated those types.
So why was Lin Muxi the only one who became his close friend?
Probably because she never played along with his ego. Every time he tried to mess with her, she’d talk back without mercy.
Over time, they got to know each other well and became friends who could talk about anything.
When he was with Lin Muxi, he didn’t feel that fake, suffocating politeness he got from others. Instead, he felt relaxed and free, like he could truly be himself.
