"Sis, I'm a young man in the prime of my life, yet every weekend you make me dress up as a girl and work part-time in a place like this. If people find out, won't I die of social embarrassment?!"
"Well, who told you to be so pretty? You look even prettier than girls when you dress up, and everyone likes you so much, Blueberry Jam~"
Hearing this, Ling Feng practically wanted to cry. Ever since the start of his sophomore year, Ling Xiaoyu had made him accompany her to work part-time at the maid café every weekend.
At first, Ling Feng flatly refused, but he had underestimated Ling Xiaoyu's determination. She threatened him with all sorts of reasons. At first, Ling Feng stood firm, completely unmoved, but in the end, money clouded his judgment, and he plunged into the deep pit Ling Xiaoyu had dug for him, unable to climb out!
"Cat... catgirl," Ling Feng said hoarsely.
"Okay, want to practice some more? Meow~"
"Wait! Let's just go to the maid café! I still can't accept this."
"Didn't Blue Meow Jam used to handle it with ease? Why are you suddenly getting shy? Meow?" Ling Xiaoyu smiled maliciously.
"Please, stop talking!"
"Relax. Here, these are the voice-changing pills for this time. Good luck~"
To be honest, Ling Xiaoyu's voice made Ling Feng's heart soften a little. Added to that was her beautiful face—how many people could refuse her? Ling Feng forcibly calmed himself and told himself, This damn meow is just an illusion!
As she spoke, Ling Xiaoyu pulled out two pale pink, translucent pills from a patch of snowy white skin. At first glance, they looked a little like glass beads, but Ling Feng knew what they did: they could temporarily change a person's voice.
Although Ling Feng had no idea where Ling Xiaoyu got such miraculous things, he only needed to follow the routine. After taking them, he put them away.
Ling Feng had agreed before because Ling Xiaoyu always seemed so exhausted, so he had agreed to work part-time with her. Who knew she would actually be this much of a bastard!
When he arrived at the classroom that afternoon, everything had indeed returned to perfect normality, without the slightest trace of battle.
It really was restored, Ling Feng thought.
After the first class, Ling Feng heard that Qiu Yun'er from the neighboring class had not come to school that afternoon. He could not help looking toward those magical girls. Thinking of their destructive magic, he clicked his tongue. Don't tell me they beat her half to death?
Tang Ling spoke to Ling Feng surprisingly little that afternoon, which even mildly surprised him. Usually, that woman had endless things to say. Even during class, she would pull him into conversations. Once, the teacher had called them out, and they had stood outside the classroom for an entire afternoon.
Ling Feng did not pay much attention to her behavior that afternoon.
After school, Ling Feng was still thinking about tonight when a voice suddenly called out to him.
"Ling Feng!"
Ling Feng turned and recognized the newcomers at once. It's Yuwen and Zhao Ping.
The two had been Ling Feng's best friends since middle school. They had ended up in different classes in high school, but they stayed in touch and usually went out together on weekends. Unfortunately, Ling Feng had been "busy" lately.
The boy who had called his name was Zhao Ping. The other one, wearing glasses and looking refined, was Yuwen. That guy was incredible—he ranked first in the entire grade in Chinese every time.
"Ling Feng, want to go to the internet café tonight?" Zhao Ping asked.
"I... I have something to do tonight. What a shame," Ling Feng sighed.
"I see. Still, come to think of it, you haven't joined us in a long time," Yuwen said from the side, sounding somewhat sentimental.
"Next time for sure?"
"Fine."
A Sad Story~
When Ling Feng returned home, he saw Ling Xiaoyu already sitting in the living room. Ling Feng found it a little strange. Ling Xiaoyu was still in her senior year of high school, so why did she always come home so early?
Besides, her studies should have been demanding right now. Ling Feng noticed that every time he returned, there was fragrant rice waiting for him. It was all because of his sister. His sister worked so hard and still had to take on part-time work, yet he complained over that kind of job.
The more Ling Feng thought about it, the more excessive he felt his previous behavior had been. Thinking back on everything before, Ling Feng decided he needed to apologize properly.
Behind the sofa, Ling Feng took a deep breath.
"Sis, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have complained so much. You're in your senior year, and every day you cook, clean, do housework, and work part-time, while I nitpick over something so trivial."
The more Ling Feng spoke, the more regretful he became. Ling Xiaoyu seemed to have heard him, turning around on the sofa. Her beautiful eyes met his.
"Mmph... Xiaofeng's back?"
Ling Feng stared blankly at the fried chicken drumstick in Ling Xiaoyu's hand and the grease all over her mouth. Then his gaze shifted, and he saw several bags of KFC, several boxes of crayfish, and even a half-eaten steak on the table.
The LCD television was still playing the latest Korean drama. Seeing this, Ling Feng's face instantly darkened.
Fuck, if he had a chance to do it over, Ling Feng definitely would not have said those words just now. No, he would not even have thought them!
"What did you just say? Say it again so I can hear it?" Although Ling Xiaoyu had been watching dramas and eating, she had still heard what Ling Feng said, and delight appeared on her face.
"Nothing."
"I didn't expect Xiaofeng to care about me so much. I really haven't spoiled you for nothing all this time."
"Fuck!"
How could Ling Feng fail to see through it? This bitch definitely knew!
Casually setting down his backpack, Ling Feng sat on the sofa beside Ling Xiaoyu.
To be honest, although Ling Feng knew Ling Xiaoyu was in her senior year, he had no idea what she did all day. Almost every time he came home, Ling Xiaoyu was definitely there.
Sometimes, Ling Feng suspected Ling Xiaoyu deliberately timed things perfectly or even followed him. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen every time?
"Want some?" Ling Xiaoyu suddenly smiled at Ling Feng, who was sitting on the sofa spacing out.
"No."
"Come on, have a bite."
"No."
"Just one bite."
"No."
"Are you eating or not?"
"No... mmph..."
Before he could finish, Ling Xiaoyu shoved the chicken drumstick directly into Ling Feng's mouth. Seeing his mouth covered in grease, Ling Xiaoyu laughed even more happily.
Ling Feng wanted to curse his ancestors. Fuck, wasn't this the one she had not finished eating just now?!
"Good little brother, don't disappoint me tonight. Finish eating, then go take a shower first~"
The evening sky was not dark but a bright, beautiful blue. Under the setting sun, the distant mountains had been dyed with a faint crimson glow.
At that moment, Ling Feng and Ling Xiaoyu took a taxi to the Beishangyuan Maid Café in Linzhou City. Ling Feng could not have been more familiar with this place. There were also several nightclubs nearby, and many young people came around here to have fun during holidays.
The area was bustling. The owner of the maid café was a woman around thirty. She had a seductive yet ethereal air about her, always making people feel as though she were only in her twenties.
The café owner was named Liu Jingyi. Ling Feng had heard that she had come here from another city to build her career, and that she had quite an impressive background. In any case, Ling Feng thought she was a good person, and he also had several beautiful female coworkers.
The café had a rather old-fashioned atmosphere. Gentle, elegant light music played softly, while the rich aroma of coffee filled the air and made people reluctant to leave. The lighting inside was dim, and the slow, soothing music created a sweet atmosphere.
"Sister Xiaoyu, Xiaofeng, you're here."
"Qingya."
As soon as Ling Feng and the others entered, a girl in a maid outfit ran over to greet them.
The girl was named Ye Qingya, one of the employees here. She usually got along rather well with Ling Feng.
Her clear, bright eyes looked at Ling Feng beneath curved brows, her long lashes trembling faintly. Before Ling Feng could react, she grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.
Seeing this, Ling Xiaoyu's lips curled upward slightly. She knew that soon, everything would unfold exactly as she had planned~
Blueberry Jam, I'm Your Fan!
"Blueberry Jam, do your best tonight too." Ye Qingya held Ling Feng's hand and spoke with a smile.
"Qingya, why have you become like my sister and the others too?"
Ling Feng could neither laugh nor cry. Since he was the only male at the café, all the female employees got along very well with him. Some had even invited him out for meals.
They were naturally happy about it. Meeting a male employee while working in a place like this was already a miracle, and he was so handsome too. How could they not get along with him?
"Hehe, do you need my help?"
"N-No need."
The changing room's pink décor was fresh and elegant, overflowing with girlish charm. Yet the one inside it now was a boy!
The voice-changing pills Ling Xiaoyu gave him did more than alter his voice. For a certain period, they gave Ling Feng's body some feminine characteristics. Don't get the wrong idea—that part had not changed!
Ling Feng was sixteen or seventeen years old and not even 1.7 meters tall. After taking the pill, he was only 1.6 meters tall.
Enduring overwhelming embarrassment, Ling Feng skillfully put on the maid outfit, donned the white lace hair accessory, and finally slowly pulled up the black stockings. After finishing the whole process with a flushed face, she finally let out a deep breath, leaned back, and collapsed onto the soft pink bed behind her.
Her long black hair spread loosely around her. Her large, watery eyes were filled with adorable innocence. The black-and-white maid outfit seemed to come alive against her figure. Her slender legs, wrapped in black stockings, revealed a hint of sensuality.
"Why is life so hard?"
Ling Feng suppressed the intense shame in his heart and prepared to begin tonight's work. No matter how unwilling he was, Ling Feng was very professional. He had memorized the entire maid handbook backward and forward.
The door slowly opened. When Ling Xiaoyu and Ye Qingya saw Ling Feng emerge, their eyes immediately lit up. Ling Feng was truly too beautiful in women's clothing. Ling Xiaoyu could not resist pinching his little cheeks, while Ye Qingya directly threw her arms around him.
"Blueberry Jam, do your best tonight too."
Ye Qingya excitedly whispered beside Ling Feng's ear, even breathing a puff of warm air against it. Ling Feng's little face turned crimson. Ling Xiaoyu praised him repeatedly, while Ling Feng was left speechless. She knew this was unavoidable.
Ling Feng had worked here for several months. Before every shift, she recalled what the head maid had told her.
When a guest entered, she had to smile and say, "Welcome home, Master!" After arranging a seat and helping the guest order, once the drinks were served, she could ask whether the guest wanted to play board games, chat, or play video games together. When the guest was leaving, she had to say, "Goodbye, Master!" In short, she had to keep calling every guest Master... It sounded like some kind of embarrassing roleplay. She had not been used to it at first... but after saying it so often, it just rolled off the tongue? oωo??
"Master, your coffee. Is there anything else you need?"
Ling Feng served coffee to a guest and tried to maintain her professional smile. That way, she could leave a good impression on the master... ahem, the guest.
"Blueberry Jam, I'm your fan! I came here specifically to see you tonight. You only work two days a week, and I've been waiting day and night for this day to come. Now I can finally see you again."
The speaker was a young man in his twenties. He wore glasses and was slightly overweight. Ling Feng could tell at a glance that he was a hardcore shut-in nerd.
From behind his glasses, the chubby young man's tiny eyes occasionally swept over Ling Feng's slightly raised chest, making Ling Feng shudder with disgust.
Fuck, if this were outside, I'd beat this shut-in until his face was black and blue. Thinking this, Ling Feng still suppressed the anger in her heart and spoke.
"Th-Thank you, Master."
Making Conversation
Ling Feng had just forced herself to say those humiliating words when a familiar voice suddenly called out to her. Although the bespectacled young man still wanted to do something, he could only wave at Ling Feng.
"Blueberry Jam, let's play later."
The moment she turned her back, Ling Feng heard what that fat bastard said. Her body shrank instinctively, but she kept telling herself to endure it! As the saying went, endure for a moment and the sea would be calm; take a step back and the sky would open wide.
The one who called Ling Feng was the head maid, Lin Danyue. She wore the same maid outfit as Ling Feng. Lin Danyue had worked here ever since graduating from high school, for two or three years now. The owner admired her greatly and made her the head maid.
Of course, this was inseparable from her own hard work. Seeing Ling Feng approach, Lin Danyue's face lit up as she grabbed her hand.
"Xiaofeng... no, Blueberry Jam, can you do me a favor?"
"Sister Danyue, is there anything I can help with?"
As Ling Feng spoke, Lin Danyue took her hand and lowered her voice beside her ear.
"Help me go out and buy something."
"Now? But we're still working, and I'm dressed like this..."
Lin Danyue seemed not to understand Ling Feng's words. Instead, she continued holding her hand, acting cute and pleading.
"Please? I'm begging you..."
"O-Okay."
In the end, Ling Feng still could not withstand Danyue's attack. What normal boy could refuse? Ling Feng gritted her teeth and agreed, returned the tray to its place, and strode away under Lin Danyue's expectant gaze.
Watching Ling Feng leave, even the bespectacled young man from before was stunned. "Where is Blueberry Jam going?"
