Chapter 5: Little Maid, You’re Not Thinking of Skipping the Bill, Right?
“Stop looking and get in the car.”
After stepping on the gas and making a quick turn, Mo Ziyang pulled up next to Lin Muxi.
Right now, Lin Muxi was still enjoying the gossip from earlier, smiling as she watched those pretty girls looking so annoyed and disappointed.
“Huh? Oh… coming, coming.”
Hearing Mo Ziyang urging her from inside the car, Lin Muxi quickly opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
The moment she got in, she heard the voices of the pretty girls behind her, mocking her as if they thought she was one of them.
“Just younger than us, what’s the big deal…”
“Look at how poor she looks, and she’s even wearing men’s clothes.”
“Tsk, being pretty is useless if you’re no good at anything…”
Each word reached Lin Muxi’s ears, making her cheeks turn red. Even though she wasn’t here for anything indecent, the scene made it feel like she was going to do something like that with Mo Ziyang.
Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at him as he was about to start the car. In her heart, she thought, ‘If this guy finds out I’m actually a girl, would he… really do something to me?’
Since she’d watched too many anime shows, her head was suddenly filled with too many “not for kids” scenes. She froze in place.
Error: Lin Muxi.exe has stopped working.
Wait, no! I’m a grown man, why am I thinking like this? Must be because I’ve been watching too much anime lately, my brain’s messed up.
She lifted her hands, lightly patted her cheeks, and shook her head. She threw away all those weird thoughts and went back to looking normal.
But her cute little actions were already noticed by Mo Ziyang. For some reason, the extra girly way Lin Muxi acted made him feel like teasing her.
He started the car slowly, smiled, and said playfully, “Those girls said you’re prettier than them. Why don’t you just be a girl already?”
“Go, go, go—you’re the girl! Your whole family’s girls! I’m telling you, if you turn into a girl, I’ll be the first one to push you onto a bed and make sure you can’t get up…”
Lin Muxi was stunned for a second, then exploded with anger, snapping at him while he drove.
What a joke! If it weren’t for that 800 yuan, she wouldn’t wear a maid dress in the first place.
Finding an excuse for herself, Lin Muxi relaxed. Whatever happens, she’d just blame Mo Ziyang anyway.
“Hahaha, with your small body? You’d never keep me in bed, I’d last longer than you.”
“Enough already…”
Feeling annoyed, Lin Muxi turned her head away and ignored him. She adjusted her seat, stared out the window at the scenery rushing past, and started to feel sleepy.
What should I do about my future…?
……………………………………
“Lin Muxi, wake up. We’re here.”
Half-asleep, Lin Muxi felt herself being lightly shaken. She unwillingly opened her sleepy eyes.
“Hm? What… where are we?”
Looking at the still half-asleep, cat-like Lin Muxi, Mo Ziyang thought he couldn’t take it anymore.
If something ever happened between them, it wouldn’t be his fault. How could he have guessed his bro could look this cute?
When you’re young, you don’t realize how good your bro is, you mistake him for a beauty.
You can only look at beauties from a distance, but a bro can dress up as any beauty and let you get close.
And so, Mo Ziyang suddenly said, “You’re awake. The surgery was a success, you’re a girl now.”
“Yeah, right.”
Lin Muxi gave him a speechless look and quickly noticed his strange gaze.
“What’s with that look? What are you planning? Hands off!”
Seeing Mo Ziyang’s eyes looking at her like she was prey, and his hand almost touching her, Lin Muxi couldn’t help but start doubting Mo Ziyang’s… preferences.
If she was still a boy like before, maybe she would have let Mo Ziyang touch her. But now she was a girl! If he touched her, wouldn’t she risk being found out?
So she quickly slapped his hand away and looked at him with a face that clearly said, ‘Bro, what’s wrong with you?’
“Ahem… I just got a little distracted. Let’s get out of the car.”
That awkward look on Mo Ziyang’s face made him wish he could give Lin Muxi a good hit to make her forget.
Looking outside the car, the view had already changed from the old city to a large estate. Just the rich-looking front gate was enough to make Lin Muxi whistle in awe.
“Tsk… No matter how many times I come, it’s still shocking.”
Getting out of the car, she stared at the huge house in front of her, easily many times bigger than her own home, her eyes full of envy.
Poor her… now she could only live in a tiny apartment of a few dozen square meters just to get by. Why was there such a huge difference between “brothers”?
Feeling the pain of the wealth gap, Lin Muxi angrily stomped her foot.
“Come on, what are you waiting for?”
“Huh? I… have to go inside too?”
“What, do you plan to change clothes outside?”
Lin Muxi froze for a moment, then quickly realized. If she changed outside, Mo Ziyang might find out she was a girl! Crap!
She hurried after him. After passing through a big garden, they arrived at Mo Ziyang’s living area. But the huge and overly perfect mansion still felt strange to her, with almost no “lived-in” feeling.
“Hey… your parents aren’t home?”
Hearing only silence around, Lin Muxi tugged at Mo Ziyang’s sleeve, sounding a little worried.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been here so many times, why would you be afraid of my parents? And… I feel like you’re acting weird today.”
Those words made Lin Muxi’s heart skip a beat. Her face showed a flash of panic, and she began looking at him more cautiously.
Crap… did I give myself away somewhere?
Nervous, she rushed to explain.
“What’s weird? I’m only doing this because you gave me so much money. If we run into your family later and you tell them I’m your girlfriend, what am I supposed to do?”
She tried to sound calm, but her heart was pounding like crazy.
“What are you thinking? Would your brother be that kind of person?”
Mo Ziyang immediately argued back… though he secretly thought her “girlfriend” idea wasn’t bad.
“You’d better not be.”
Soon they arrived at the walk-in closet. Mo Ziyang pulled out a black-and-white maid outfit and handed it to Lin Muxi, who looked shocked.
So this guy wanted to play young master and maid?
“You have so many maids in your house, why do I have to wear this?”
“Because I’m paying you. Now put it on.”
Mo Ziyang stayed calm, even smiling as he stood there watching her, clearly enjoying her discomfort.
Lin Muxi looked troubled. She knew that once Mo Ziyang caught an opportunity to mess with her, he wouldn’t stop until he was satisfied. So this maid outfit was probably for some “serve the young master” act…
Tsk… rich people really have weird tastes.
The more she looked at his smug face, the more she wanted to punch him.
“You're not trying to get away, are you, my little maid?”
Mo Ziyang lifted her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes. Then, under her shocked gaze, he put a pair of cat ears on her head.
“Mo Ziyang! That’s disgusting! You *beep*!” (nonsense curse)
She shoved him away, fuming. She was a proper man, and he wanted her to dress up as a cat-eared maid to serve him?
No way! This was about dignity, no amount of money could make her—
“I’ll pay more.”
“Okay, boss.”
The moment she heard “more money,” Lin Muxi instantly dropped her annoyed look and put on a flattering smile.
