“Wha-wha-wha… what?!!!”
This time, Ji Yueni could no longer hold it in. She shouted loudly, eyes wide in shock at the cat-eared maid girl in front of her—no, it should be boy now.
Facing Ji Yueni across the table, Wan Yi picked up another glass of iced coffee, took a light sip, and spoke soothingly, “Classmate Ji, calm down. This is a store secret. If the manager finds out I’m leaking secrets to customers, I’ll definitely lose my job.”
After hearing that, Ji Yueni tried hard to calm herself, but soon felt suspicious. Why were seventy percent of the store’s frontline staff men? By rights, the workload was light, the benefits were good, the work intensity not high, and the job matched a profession that should have been hotly pursued by women.
“Because working as a bar hostess next door pays more, is even easier, and there are tips.”
As if sensing Ji Yueni’s doubt, before she could even ask, Wan Yi took the initiative to explain.
“In fact, in the last few years, there have been quite a few male ‘little sisters’ working next door too. Anyway, it’s all just playful flirting. Before you really get to know someone, who knows who they really are?”
“Uh… Actually, there are quite a few men who like this even more. In some KTVs, a high-value male ‘little sister’ is even more expensive than a real girl.”
Hiss!
Ji Yueni sucked in a breath of cold air.
Has society really become this cutthroat? It’s terrifying!!
Seeing the “big boy” shocked and stunned, mouth gaping and unable to return to his senses for a long while, Wan Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
He lightly patted Ji Yueni’s shoulder. “Classmate Ji, don’t be so surprised. Actually, this isn’t that rare. This is just how society is nowadays. It grinds down all your edges and makes you obediently become a cog in the machine.”
“I graduated from Wanqing Yongxing too, so I guess I’m your senior. I used to be ambitious and high-spirited, thinking I could change everything with my own hands. But now, with my innate crossdressing physique, I feel like being a cat-eared maid isn’t so bad. It doesn’t include lodging, but I get meals, and even without commissions, the base monthly income is twenty thousand.”
The moment he finished, a small pale hand tightly grabbed his arm. Wan Yi looked up and saw a strange light flashing in the “big boy’s” eyes, his voice steady yet excited.
“You’re right, before really getting to know someone, who knows if they’re male or female? As long as you can’t tell after crossdressing and makeup, it doesn’t matter.”
“I still want you!”
“So what if you’re a male ‘little sister’? I’ll pay extra!!”
—
In the book section of a large underground shopping mall in Wanqing City, Jiang Chi, who’d been unable to sleep after finishing the first volume, had come to buy volume two of .
After showing the payment code and taking the receipt, Jiang Chi hugged the still-sealed book and turned toward the mall exit. But as he passed by the women’s clothing section, he caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
In the women’s clothing area of the underground mall, an ordinary scene was playing out—a couple strolling, stopping and going, picking out women’s clothes, but still attracting plenty of attention.
The man was rather pretty, with short hair to his ears, the refined handsomeness of a big boy, while the woman wore a mask and sunglasses, dressed as a cat-eared maid—making one inevitably think of certain suggestive situations.
“Don’t you have any other women’s clothes?”
Noticing the probing glances from those around them, Ji Yueni couldn’t help but complain.
“This is my work uniform. And it’s my only set of women’s clothes. Besides, Classmate Ji, it was you who dragged me here in a hurry, I didn’t even have time to change back into men’s clothes,” Wan Yi shrugged helplessly, looking completely innocent.
“Alright, just pick out a few women’s outfits. I’ll pay. If my friend can’t come up with a solution tomorrow, you’ll act as backup and go home with me to deal with my parents.”
Wan Yi nodded at that.
On the way here, Ji Yueni had already told him about her recent troubles—she’d boasted about having a girlfriend, and now needed someone to show up in person. If she couldn’t, she’d have to face a mixed double beatdown from her parents.
As her senior, already twenty-five years old and a real tough guy, Wan Yi really wanted to refuse. But when she said “I’ll pay extra for a male ‘little sister’,” he instantly caved.
He had no choice. After all, his edges had long since been worn away by society, he still had a “little sister” to support at home, and with his innate crossdressing physique, making a living like this wasn’t shameful.
Jackets, white stockings, high heels, panties, camisoles, little skirts… All kinds of women’s clothes dazzled the eye, but Wan Yi made no move at all, only spreading his hands and explaining that he didn’t understand women’s fashion when Ji Yueni looked over.
Helpless, Ji Yueni had to do it herself, sizing up Wan Yi’s figure and picking out a matching set for him.
As a crossdressing enthusiast, Ji Yueni’s taste was razor sharp—she could even explain her choices while selecting, describing why this brand instead of that one.
Wan Yi benefited greatly, but his gaze at Ji Yueni grew more and more doubtful.
Is Junior Ji really a guy?
Suddenly, a strange floral scent wafted through the air. Wan Yi sniffed—it was gardenia, and it was getting stronger, as if someone was approaching.
He looked up, just in time to see a man over 1.8 meters tall standing directly in their path, black hair, blue eyes, holding a book one-handed, a cold aura about him and a menacing expression.
Ji Yueni, who’d been looking down at short videos on her phone, not paying attention to the road ahead, turned and looked at Wan Yi. “Senior Wan, later let’s check each other’s IDs and hobbies, get to know each other. If my friend really can’t help tomorrow, you’ll be ready to step in.”
As she spoke, Ji Yueni slammed into a firm chest. The thick scent of gardenia mixed with masculine hormones rushed over, making her knees go weak from the familiar feeling.
Before she could react, a large hand grabbed her slender arm tightly and slammed her against a white pillar in the underground mall.
At this moment, Ji Yueni met those gloomy, deep blue eyes, as turbulent as the sea, and her heart skipped a beat on instinct.
“Dare to look for someone behind my back?”
The man’s tone was unfriendly, his gaze icy.
Ji Yueni shivered involuntarily. She was just about to explain when, on the side, Wan Yi in cat-eared maid attire quickly spoke up too.
“Classmate, calm down. There’s nothing between me and Classmate Ji, no, we’re just ordinary friends.”
As he spoke, he pulled down his mask, letting Jiang Chi see his not-so-prominent Adam’s apple.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chi only gave him a cold glance, his gaze even more frigid, and his grip tightened.
“Still a man!”
“Ji Yueni, is it that I’m not satisfying you, or are you just that thirsty?”
“…..” Ji Yueni fell silent.
She glanced around out of the corner of her eye—luckily, this was the women’s clothing section, and the pillar Jiang Chi had pinned her to was in a hidden spot, so only Wan Yi was staring in shock.
To him, Ji Yueni was a junior, but now this “junior girl” was being pinned by a man—and not just any man, but one spouting such fierce, domineering words.
Wait, those dark eyes turned—Ji Yueni suddenly noticed something. Normally, Jiang Chi would never be this reckless. Even if he wanted to pin her, he’d always pick a deserted alley.
Thinking this, her black eyes looked at those blue ones, which were usually like the calm sea but now stormy as if before a tempest. Ji Yueni sensed something manic and unstable in him.
Jiang Chi had a mild mental illness, and his mood was clearly wrong now—extremely wrong.
Gulp~
Ji Yueni almost instinctively swallowed, as if events from over a decade ago were replaying in her mind—the crazy smile, the gleaming knife, hot blood… everything, all a nightmare.
Her legs trembled, but Ji Yueni forced down the rising fear, silently reciting, “He’s Jiang Chi,” “He won’t hurt me,” “Trust him,” over and over in her heart.
Only then did she feel a little better.
But faced with those cold eyes fixed on her, Ji Yueni quickly lowered her head in a flash of desperation.
“I was wrong.”
