Jiang Cheng was starting to regret it.
If she had known earlier that the punishment Lin Shuangxue had in mind was making her wear a Lolita-style maid outfit and kneel on the floor to massage her legs…
Then she wouldn’t have resisted at all.
“Stop spacing out. Hurry up.”
“Ah, right away.”
Responding briskly, Jiang Cheng skillfully pressed and kneaded Lin Shuangxue’s calf.
Wait, why am I so good at this?!
Jiang Cheng gritted her teeth. Why are you so weak-willed? How could you start enjoying the feeling of massaging someone else’s legs!
But, don’t you think this feels really good?
Hmm, I guess you’re right!
The two little figures in her mind hadn’t even started arguing before they reached a consensus.
— A beautiful girl’s legs are truly delectable!
Earlier, to humiliate Jiang Cheng, Lin Shuangxue had ordered her to take off her own high-heeled shoes, and then also remove one of her black stockings, revealing her smooth, slender calf.
A gentle squeeze, warm, soft, and incredibly elastic. Jiang Cheng was even starting to get a little too fond of it.
Sigh… an elder sister’s long legs… sigh…
“Jiang Cheng, do you feel humiliated? Unable to accept this?”
Lin Shuangxue leaned down, hooking a finger under Jiang Cheng’s chin.
“If you’re angry, you can try to resist…”
Her words trailed off mid-sentence.
Because, the expression on Jiang Cheng’s face was clearly one of enjoyment.
Did I see wrong?
Blinking incredulously, Lin Shuangxue looked again — the girl’s face had indeed switched to an expression of extreme humiliation.
So I really did see wrong.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
For a moment, she thought her methods had become outdated.
“Guh, just kill me!”
For some reason, even though the girl wore an expression of heroic sacrifice, Lin Shuangxue detected a hint of eagerness in her words.
Probably just tired and hallucinating.
She straightened up, picked up the coffee cup from the brown table with her right hand, took a sip, and then offered it to Jiang Cheng.
“Give it to me to drink?”
The girl was somewhat stunned.
The coffee had been sitting on the table for a while. It wasn’t steaming hot but wasn’t cold either, looking dark, bitter, and unappealing.
But this was coffee that Lin Shuangxue had personally drunk from.
Is this really humiliation, and not flirting?
Jiang Cheng felt confused.
If drinking a beautiful girl’s imported coffee counts as abuse, then I think a lot of people would become masochists.
“What, think it’s disgusting?”
With a derisive snort, Lin Shuangxue pinched Jiang Cheng’s face, forcing her mouth open, and poured the coffee in.
“Mmph… mmph!”
As expected…
Seeing the utter rejection on Jiang Cheng’s face, the inexplicable trace of panic in Lin Shuangxue’s heart completely vanished.
Of course, she can’t accept me either.
***
“Pah! Pah! Pah!”
Her small face scrunched up, Jiang Cheng felt like every cell in her body was screaming rejection.
Who in their right mind drinks coffee without sugar?!
Ugh, that’s so bitter…
Lin Shuangxue leaned back on the sofa, watching the white-haired girl stick out her tongue and wipe her mouth.
Displeasure was normal.
She was used to it.
“Keep massaging.”
Her tone was flat.
Jiang Cheng obediently knelt back down, placed her hands on Lin Shuangxue’s calf, and carefully resumed her work.
The coffee shop was quiet. Background music played a piano piece of unknown name that sounded very sophisticated.
When the atmosphere relaxes, the mind tends to wander, and Jiang Cheng was no exception.
Come to think of it, this young lady’s skin is pretty good too.
Not the kind of white from makeup, but the kind that comes from within, clean and pure. Her short black hair was neat, giving her a sharp, aggressive aura. Her facial features were also the handsome, striking type.
If this were before the transmigration, she’d probably be the type girls would chase after calling “hubby”…
Too bad it’s in a world where almost no girls have that kind of awareness.
But now, the one being chased and called “hubby” should be me.
Jiang Cheng mentally put her hands on her hips.
After all, I’m a white-haired beauty!
White hair should be the top position!
Even though I’m currently wearing a maid outfit, kneeling on the floor massaging someone’s legs…
But this is only temporary. Send me 50 to help me become the Queen of All Women, and I’ll give everyone a little loli…
Clack—
Lin Shuangxue set down the coffee cup.
“Jiang Cheng.”
Her daydream interrupted, the girl stopped her hands and looked up at her.
“From now on, every weekend,”
Lin Shuangxue’s voice was unhurried,
“you will come to my house to be my exclusive maid.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Cheng blinked.
Be her exclusive maid?
Wouldn’t that mean being directly tied to her chariot? That sounds way too troublesome.
“Why?!”
She tried her best to put on a resistant expression.
Lin Shuangxue leaned down, bringing her face close to Jiang Cheng’s.
“Because…” she paused, her gaze lingering on Jiang Cheng’s face for a moment, “girls like you are rare.”
Jiang Cheng froze.
Rare?
Is she complimenting me?
She’s complimenting me, saying I’m cute!
“Me… someone like me?”
Jiang Cheng tried to keep her voice sounding normal.
Lin Shuangxue didn’t answer. She straightened up, picked up the coffee cup, and took a sip.
“In short, come to my house to work every weekend. If you’re late—”
“If I’m late?”
“The punishment doubles.”
Jiang Cheng looked at her, suddenly feeling a bit pleased inside.
Even though this young lady is fierce, even though she’s always pinching people’s chins, even though she drinks coffee without sugar…
But she complimented me.
As for any punishment, it had already been tossed to the far ends of the earth the moment Jiang Cheng heard the compliment.
“Then… is there a salary?”
Fortunately, she still remembered money.
“Depends on your performance.”
Lin Shuangxue was noncommittal.
“So it’s just an empty promise…”
The girl muttered under her breath.
“That’s settled then.”
Lin Shuangxue stood up, straightening the hem of her clothes.
“The driver will take you home.”
Jiang Cheng also stood up, looking down at the maid outfit she was wearing.
“Um… this outfit…”
“Wear it and leave.”
“Huh?”
Jiang Cheng opened her mouth, but meeting the woman’s calm eyes, she didn’t dare say anything more.
Lin Shuangxue paid her no further mind, turning and walking towards the door.
Halfway there, she suddenly stopped.
“Oh, right.”
“Hmm?”
“You…”
She paused.
“Never mind.”
She pushed the door open and walked out.
Jiang Cheng stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded for several seconds.
Is she being a riddle master now? Can’t she just speak properly?
Forget it, not important.
What’s important is — she said I’m pretty!
Even if she said it in a roundabout way like “girls like you are rare.”
Being complimented by a beautiful girl feels great. Being called pretty by a beautiful girl feels even better.
Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but curl the corners of her mouth up, then quickly pressed them down.
Can’t smile, can’t smile, gotta maintain an image.
Even though there’s probably no image left to maintain while wearing a maid outfit.
Leaving the coffee shop, getting into the driver’s car, and returning to her neighborhood, Jiang Cheng stepped out of the vehicle.
The Lolita-style maid outfit looked completely out of place on the old street, instantly attracting the gazes of passersby.
The feeling of being watched, how should I put it…
Feels great~
sigh If being cute is a crime, then I’m probably guilty enough to be executed ten times over.
She deliberately sighed with a melancholic air, walking towards her home in those little shoes with butterfly bows, her skirt swaying with each step as if a gentle breeze were at her feet.
However, as she walked, Jiang Cheng also noticed that the environment around her home really was quite poor. It was far from the school, making it inconvenient for Little Tang to commute.
Although it seems Little Tang hasn’t been to school this semester, letting this continue is definitely not okay.
Need to earn money, change apartments, and get Little Tang back to school.
Middle school is when vanity peaks. Even though in her memories, Little Tang never seemed to feel inferior because of money, Jiang Cheng clearly remembered the taste of wearing tattered clothes to school when she was a child.
She wouldn’t let Little Tang go through that.
To earn a living, support a family, and get a new apartment in Haicheng… no matter how she thought about it, it wasn’t simple.
But then—
But I’m a woman with a System. I’m no ordinary person.
As long as I work hard, sooner or later, Little Tang and I can live a better life.
[Ding—]
A familiar mechanical tone suddenly rang in her mind.
