Chapter 154: Wanting the Computer Password
After eating dinner at home, Lin Muqing quickly forgot about Fei Xun. Clearly, she didn’t like dealing with troublesome things. Besides, instead of wasting time on that, she’d rather figure out a way to get the computer password from her best buddy.
So, the two of them were sitting on the sofa resting. Ye Ziming was looking at his phone, seemingly reading some document. Lin Muqing quietly scooted closer, reducing the space between them until there was none.
Their bodies were now touching, just a normal way to sit closely.
“Hey, boss~”
Maybe she didn’t want to disturb what he was doing, so Lin Muqing’s voice was soft and a little sweet, even playful.
“Hm?”
Ye Ziming glanced at her calmly, then looked back at his phone, like he wasn’t that interested in her.
In truth, he had noticed her little movements the moment she started shifting around. He had been quietly watching her actions the whole time. Even though he looked calm on the outside, he was secretly amused, thinking to himself, She must want something from me.
She was just too easy to read.
“Ahem, I wanted to talk to you about something~”
Since she was asking for a favor, Lin Muqing gave a shy little smile, her face looking a bit embarrassed. Then she hesitated before speaking again.
“Mm.”
Ye Ziming nodded again, still looking uninterested.
“So, about the computer in my room... I still don’t know the password.”
While saying this, she pressed herself a little more against her best buddy, actually rubbing her body against Ye Ziming’s. When he didn’t even glance her way, she pushed in even more.
But unfortunately for her, Ye Ziming had trained before, and in terms of physical strength and endurance, he had the upper hand.
So no matter how much she leaned or nudged him, to Ye Ziming it just felt like a spoiled kitten rubbing against him.
“You want the password?”
After a while, Ye Ziming couldn’t help it anymore. His expression changed slightly as he finally turned his head to look at Lin Muqing. She smelled good, and felt soft. It made him feel a bit ticklish inside and even stirred up a strange temptation.
He gently placed a hand on her shoulder. When he saw her cute little face up close, his throat moved slightly as he swallowed.
“That’s right!”
The "little firestarter" Lin Muqing had no idea of the danger. She was just happy her good buddy was finally paying attention to her, so she nodded sweetly and kept looking at him with her big sparkly eyes.
“If I give you the password, what will you give me in return?”
Ye Ziming narrowed his eyes slightly, a sly smile appearing on his face as he threw the question back at her. His original intention was simple, he just wanted to see her wear a cute little skirt.
But now that a fire had been lit in his heart, he wasn’t planning to give her the password that easily. He wanted her to pay a little price.
He thought to himself, In her current state, forget putting out the fire. She probably doesn’t even realize she started one!
While he was thinking that, Lin Muqing was also seriously thinking about what she could offer in return.
“I’ll do your laundry, cook, and clean for you.”
“That’s just your rent. You said that yourself.”
“Uh… I’ll help you level up in your game?”
“With your skills?”
“Ugh, that’s kinda mean…”
That one really hurt, but Lin Muqing had no way to argue back.
Because her gaming skills were really not just bad, they were the kind that could help her teammates quit gaming altogether.
Thinking about it like that, she realized she couldn’t really offer anything in return. Her good buddy didn’t lack anything, while she lacked everything.
"Recently, I got a few catgirl cosplay outfits, the kind your usual in-game character wears."
Seeing Lin Muqing lost in thought and unable to give a response, Ye Ziming kindly gave her a little hint. His intention was really simple. He just hoped Lin Muqing could accept her own gender and learn to dress up and look pretty. That’s all. Nothing else.
“The character I play?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t tell me… those are the new outfits that just came out recently?”
“Exactly.”
“You want to see me wear them!?”
Her eyes widened in shock as she turned to stare at her good bro. Lin Muqing felt like her whole body froze up. She tried to push herself slightly with her legs to move a bit away from her good buddy.
But Ye Ziming didn’t give her the chance. In fact, he even used a bit more force, pulling her closer to him. At the same time, he leaned his head in closer. At that moment, he didn’t need to say anything. Just a faint smile and quietly watching Lin Muqing was enough.
“…Bro, that joke isn’t funny.”
“I’m not joking.”
“……"
Lin Muqing wanted to cry. She regretted it again. If she could do it over, she would’ve asked for the password in a different way.
Luckily, Ye Ziming didn’t really plan to force her. After looking down at Lin Muqing for a while, he finally let go of her. Seeing her blushing face and how adorably nervous she looked, Ye Ziming suddenly felt a strange sense of satisfaction. At the same time, he thought, ‘Shy and pretty girl is really something.’
No wonder Lin Muqing liked looking at that kind of lewd art, turns out she was the one who really knew how to enjoy that stuff. Ye Ziming couldn’t help but think that.
“Ahem… I’m going to my room to rest now.”
Finally released, Lin Muqing quickly stood up and moved away from her good bro as fast as possible.
That look in his eyes was seriously intense. If she had to describe it, it was like a wild beast staring at its prey. She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she really felt like she was that prey.
Did her good bro suddenly get interested in her or something? That couldn’t be, right? Lin Muqing didn’t think so. After all, in her current state, she probably couldn’t do anything except lift her butt.
With those thoughts in mind, Lin Muqing went back to her room, closed the door, and lay down on her bed, ready for a nice afternoon nap.
On the other side, Ye Ziming also smiled quietly after watching Lin Muqing flee the scene again.
Then he stood up and went back to his own room to rest. Just like that, the afternoon passed.
During class in the afternoon, things were pretty peaceful since Lin Muqing purposely forgot all about Fei Xun, and the other girl didn’t come looking for her again. But peace didn’t last long, because of someone like Lin Wenbin, who didn’t like studying and was always looking for something to do.
“Hey, I heard you rejected Fei Xun.”
“Huh? Fei Xun?”
During the break, Ye Ziming suddenly leaned over, trying to gossip a little.
But unexpectedly, Lin Muqing threw the question right back at him. Her expression clearly said, “I don’t know who that is.”
“You know, the new girl from the class next door. Didn’t she come talk to you at lunch?”
Lin Wenbin’s eyes went wide, he was clearly surprised. Once again, his impression of Lin Muqing was being shattered.
If a girl came up to most guys, they’d be overjoyed and eager to welcome her.
But not Lin Muqing. Not only did she not get excited, she even forgot the class beauty’s name. That was terrifying.
No wonder she and Brother Ye got along so well. Turns out they really did have the same kind of personality.
