NOVEL FROG Chapter 56
Chapter 56: The Little Maid
In the mirror was a face that blurred the lines between male and female, youthful and delicate yet somewhat alluring.
Ning Chu’s gaze drifted down. From his neck to his upper chest, there was almost no coverage at all. His snow-white skin and the tightly defined collarbone were glaringly exposed to the open air. The fitted top clung tightly to him, giving that originally petite frame a hint of cleavage.
As his gaze continued downward, his hourglass figure highlighted a slim waist, seemingly easy to grasp with both hands. That short skirt, just covering half his thighs, swayed gently, with long, straight legs emerging from beneath the black stockings, with a glimpse of skin still faintly visible.
His bangs hung past his eyebrows, and the hair on the sides covered his ears. As far as men’s hairstyles go, it was clearly a bit messy and too long. But with the boss lady’s personal touch, combined with his delicate, youthful face and maid outfit, it felt just right.
“Just plain ~”
Ning Chu’s expression was calm, but his face had already turned a shade of crimson, rating himself internally.
If it weren’t for signing a part-time agreement with the boss lady, and if he weren’t worried about Wen Yang being alone here and getting flirted with by a girl…
Fine, mainly he wanted to see what he looked like in women’s clothing.
“After all, I’m going to turn into a girl sooner or later… Might as well adapt early.”
His expression dimmed a bit; he had a feeling that day wouldn’t be too far off.
That shame faded slightly due to his gloomy mood. Ning Chu lowered his head and quickly scanned through the little erotic story he had written on his phone.
“Hmm, there’s definitely no restaurant-related plot in there, and the only maid-related content is Wen Yang playing role-playing with a girl.”
“Whoa ~ Is my stomach really bulging out? Was I too extreme in my writing? Can any girl really handle this?”
Ning Chu, blushing, put down his phone and cleared his throat.
He carefully reread that chapter and again confirmed there was no risk of triggering any plot today—at least, he wouldn’t be exposed.
Now he felt relieved.
He hesitated to stand up, slowly pushing open the door to the break room.
Outside, Wen Yang had been waiting for a while. Hearing the door creak open, he turned around, complaining, “Why so slow…”
But when his gaze fell on Ning Chu, the latter’s second half of the sentence caught painfully in his throat, unable to speak.
His mind was once again filled with the repeated question.
Is Ning Chu really a guy?!
Dressed in loose men’s clothing, his figure wasn’t that noticeable. But now, look at that cinched waist, those budding blossoms, and those long legs wrapped in black stockings…
While there’s still a lot of room for improvement in his figure, he definitely doesn’t look like a man, does he?
With short hair and a youthful face, he looks like a middle school girl.
Compared to the fleeting glimpse he caught at the hotel last time, Ning Chu seemed more mature now—at least his chest was broader.
“If you keep staring, I’ll gouge out your eyes,” Ning Chu threatened flatly.
The somewhat scary threat, paired with his flushed cheeks, made him appear adorably coy.
Wen Yang awkwardly turned his head away. “I’ve never seen you in women’s clothing; I accidentally looked for a bit too long.”
He couldn’t help but ask, “About your chest…”
“Pecs.”
“???”
Ning Chu’s calm answer made Wen Yang lose his composure.
It wasn’t that extravagant, but whose pecs are this prominently visible?! And with a freaking hint of cleavage!
“Let’s go; we’ve dawdled long enough. Time to work.”
“…”
Ning Chu kept his head down, expressionless but with rosy cheeks, following closely behind Wen Yang, taking small steps into the front of the store.
The café had just opened, and the boss lady was busy preparing the hot-selling pastries. Aside from the staff, the shop was empty… Then his gaze fell on Zhang Shaoqing in the corner.
No way! Is this guy still here?!
Almost as soon as Ning Chu spotted Zhang Shaoqing, the villain greeted him with a chilling smile, waving and calling out, “Hey, little maid! Come here; it’s time to order!”
Ning Chu’s face darkened, his skin practically simmering with embarrassment. He felt his brain was nearly melted from the shame, but his body moved steadily as he walked over to Zhang Shaoqing.
“…”
“I’ll have a latte coffee.”
Ning Chu looked down at the menu, then asked, “Would you like it with sugar and milk?”
“Whatever you think; I don’t really like coffee anyway. If it tastes bad, I’ll complain about you.”
“You little…”
“Hey little brother ~ You need to call me ‘Master’ when addressing customers! And you can’t lose your temper with customers~”
A voice from a distance was the boss lady reminding him, his fists instinctively clenched tighter, and it was hard for him to maintain a business smile.
No freaking way am I calling Zhang Shaoqing ‘Master’! Is this guy’s villainous heart going to awaken or what?!
“Okay~” Ning Chu managed a forced smile, nodding with feigned cheerfulness before turning to leave.
“Wait!”
Zhang Shaoqing propped his leg up, a playful grin on his face as he asked, “Didn’t you hear your boss say? You have to call me ‘Master’.”
“Mas… ter!”
The two words seemed to squeak out between clenched teeth.
When Ning Chu turned back, Wen Yang could only see his face flushed crimson, with the shade spreading down to his neck and ears, his tiny fists trembling slightly.
It was clear, with just a couple more teasing words, Zhang Shaoqing might end up getting punched.
“Work, work…”
“Not to mention I’m worried about Wen Yang being hit on by a girl alone here…”
Ning Chu muttered to himself, attempting to suppress his embarrassment with these two justifications.
Indeed, even though he knew he would eventually turn into a girl, wearing women’s clothing for the first time was still hard to accept!
And this torment would last for three days!
“Welcome!”
“Don’t forget to call me ‘Master’!”
“‘Master,’ welcome!”
The girl just entered glanced at Ning Chu’s feverishly red face curiously, only to fix her gaze tightly on Wen Yang, who was serving coffee to Zhang Shaoqing not far away.
“Oh my! Oh my!” The girl gasped, unable to contain her surprise.
“!!”
Ning Chu frowned, sensing something was off. He immediately tossed aside any remnants of shame and stepped forward, blocking the girl’s view, smiling brightly as he asked, “Master, what would you like? Care for something to drink?”
“Eh!”
“I think this spot is nice ~ next to the window, you can see the street view ~ you can admire the handsome guys passing by ~”
“No!”
“I recommend the shop’s new coffee ~ it can be beautifully foamed, perfect for taking photos for social media ~ would you like a cup? It’s discounted, only twelve bucks!”
Ning Chu nudged a little, blocking the girl’s peering gaze toward Wen Yang again with his body.
In broad daylight! Don’t fawn over him here!
It felt like he could almost smell the feminine pheromones radiating from the girl standing there. He stood guard, afraid Wen Yang might attract another admirer.
As for the admirers mentioned in the plot, they were traceable, allowing him to avoid interactions quickly, but this random admirer was completely unpredictable!
