Chapter 178: Searching for Spicy Pics
Sitting on the bed and holding her good bro’s phone, Lin Muqing tried to search for some spicy pictures in this “claw machine” of a phone.
But after scrolling through the photo gallery for quite a while, she couldn’t find a single spicy pic. Not only that, there wasn’t even an app for finding those kinds of pictures. That was really strange. Lin Muqing even started to doubt if this was really her good bro’s phone at all.
“What is this!?”
After a bit, Lin Muqing noticed that there was a special photo album in the gallery named "Lin Muqing." Her eyes suddenly widened. The moment she saw the name, she had a bad feeling. Driven by curiosity, she quickly tapped to open it.
And then she was surprised to see that the entire album was full of pictures of her wearing girls' clothes.
If not for seeing this album, she wouldn’t have even realized she had worn so many outfits, so many skirts! But to be honest, no hate, no jokes. These photos were really well taken, and the person in them was indeed pretty cute.
“Wah! What were you thinking!”
Lin Muqing suddenly covered her cheeks and flopped face-down on the bed. The red blush on her face spread quickly, almost reaching her ears. She stayed like that for a while, even bumping her head a few times against the soft mattress before she finally calmed down and picked the phone up again.
She wanted to delete all this "evidence," but there were so many photos... and strangely, she felt a little reluctant to delete them. After thinking for a moment, she simply decided to send all the photos to herself and then delete them from the phone.
Perfect plan.

After a while, she had scrolled through almost the entire photo gallery. There was only one album left to check.
Why did she leave it for last? Because it was a hidden album, something she suddenly remembered when she was just about to give up her search for spicy content.
“Haha! So all the good stuff is here! Wow, big bro really hid it deep!”
The moment she tapped it open, Lin Muqing’s eyes lit up, because the very first picture in the top left corner was a naked photo!
As everyone knows, the gallery only shows thumbnail previews, and you have to tap on the picture to see the full version.
Just as Lin Muqing was about to tap on the thumbnail to see which internet girl’s spicy photo it was, Ye Ziming suddenly appeared behind her.
“Huh? Big bro?”
A large hand suddenly reached out, and because Lin Muqing didn’t hold on tightly, her good buddy’s phone was taken away. She quickly turned around, and came face-to-face with Ye Ziming’s very complicated expression.
“Did you see it?”
Looking down at his phone, then at Lin Muqing in front of him, Ye Ziming’s face was a mess of emotions. At that moment, his phone screen was showing the only photo he had… of Lin Muqing wearing nothing at all.
Actually, he had always felt that keeping that photo wasn’t right. He had thought about deleting it, but just when he was about to, he couldn’t bear to let it go. So he had locked it away in the hidden album. Not willing to delete it, but also not daring to look at it. Just letting it sit there quietly.
By the way, that entire hidden album was full of “benefit photos” of Lin Muqing that Ye Mengze had sent him. In other words, everything in that album was stuff Lin Muqing must not see, or it would be a disaster.
“Yep, I saw it.”
Looking at her bro’s expression, Lin Muqing confidently and proudly answered. As she spoke, she even gave him a knowing smile.
Ye Ziming fell silent. He felt like something about Lin Muqing’s reaction was very off.
“Aiya, we’re all guys here. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”
Ye Ziming: No. You’re not.
“Come on, tell me in secret, which internet girl was that? What’s the name, what’s the code, give me some analysis!”
Slowly scooting over to her good buddy, teasing him while doing so, Lin Muqing stood up from the bed and tried to sneak a peek at his phone. Unfortunately, Ye Ziming didn’t give her a chance, before she could even fully stand up, he had already closed that screen.
“You want lewd pics?”
Raising an eyebrow slightly, Ye Ziming asked with a complicated expression.
“This isn’t about wanting them or not. As a good buddy, how could you hide lewd pics from me? That’s not okay, definitely not okay!”
Lin Muqing straightened her expression and stood tall on the moral high ground, pointing her finger at Ye Ziming in mock accusation. Of course, she did want the lewd pics. But for the sake of her dignity, she couldn’t say that directly.
(Though honestly... her dignity was already gone.)
Ye Ziming took a deep breath and sighed helplessly. He had no idea how to explain all this nonsense anymore.
Sexy models, code names, lewd pics… how could he explain all of that to Lin Muqing? What if she found out those pics were of herself?
Forget it, he didn’t take the pictures anyway. If the truth ever got out, it wouldn’t be his reputation on the line. So why worry?
“I’ll send them to you later.”
Having made up his mind, Ye Ziming looked at Lin Muqing with a pampering smile and reached out to pat her little head.
Nodding obediently while letting him pat her head, Lin Muqing blinked at him. That look in her eyes clearly said, ‘I’m waiting for those lewd pics, okay?’
Ye Ziming: (sweating emoji)
Ye Ziming didn’t say anything else. He just quietly looked at Lin Muqing, then turned around and picked up the hairdryer to dry his hair. Doing the math in his head, Lin Muqing would be 17 after her birthday this year.
Hmm… almost an adult. She’ll definitely be 18 after the college entrance exams. By the time she graduates college, she’ll be 22, old enough to get married.
The room returned to its usual calm. Their night continued. Besides playing games and scrolling on their phones, they also did a bit of homework. When it got late, they both went to the bathroom to wash up, then got ready for bed.
Lin Muqing didn’t bring up the lewd pics again, because after she got them, she purposely pretended she wasn’t very interested.
After all, she’s Lin Muqing, not some pervy loli!
…She’d rather look at them secretly under the blanket at night. Hehehe.
“Oh right, big bro, I wanted to talk to you about something.”
After washing her face and brushing her teeth, once she was lying in bed with the blanket pulled up, Lin Muqing suddenly remembered something.
She had meant to say it earlier, but got distracted by the lewd pic situation and forgot. Now that both of them were lying in bed, it was a good time to talk.
“Mm?”
Ye Ziming hadn’t fully laid down yet. He placed two pillows behind him and half-sat while playing with his phone. Hearing her voice, he turned his head to look at Lin Muqing with a bit of confusion in his eyes.
“It’s just… from now on, can you not call me cute or say I’m pretty and stuff?”
She hesitated a bit before finally saying it in a slightly awkward tone. Even she felt it sounded kind of weird, to tell someone not to call you cute or pretty.
“…Why?”
Ye Ziming raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked back.
“Because I’m a boy. Isn’t it kind of weird for you to talk to a guy like that?” She mumbled a little, then suddenly sat up and said seriously, “It’s just not right.”
“…Why isn’t it right?”
Ye Ziming couldn’t help but laugh. At the same time, he thought Lin Muqing looked especially adorable.
With her cute little face, not-so-flat chest, and the way she insisted she was a guy even though there was no “evidence” at all. It was all too funny.
Without thinking, he reached out and gently patted her head again. Because honestly… she was just too cute.
