“Go on, go on,” the shop manager waved her hand and said.

Dou Yuwei was pulling Xu Yecheng toward the exit when, in the next second, the manager called out to them.

“Um, Wan Ning, wait a moment.”

A hint of confusion appeared on Dou Yuwei’s face. Seeing the manager beckon to her, she loosened the hand that had been hooked around Xu Yecheng’s arm.

Xu Yecheng also turned back in confusion.

The manager walked to the door and closed it. Dou Yuwei’s expression grew even more puzzled.

Seeing the manager close the door with a grin on her face, Dou Yuwei immediately felt that something wasn’t right.

Could it be that this cute, engineering-type young woman had some unspeakable relationship with the manager?

All of a sudden, Dou Yuwei felt that things weren’t as simple as she had thought.

When Xu Yecheng saw the manager shut the door, a wave of unease instantly swept over her.

“Wan Ning…” the manager smiled at Xu Yecheng, her tone light and gentle.

“What is it?” Xu Yecheng responded nervously.

The manager was the only one who knew she was actually a man…

That feeling of having someone hold your secret over you was really awful. If Xu Yecheng didn’t perform well at work, would the manager just fire her and expose everything, causing her to socially die on the spot?

The manager’s brows furrowed slightly, looking a bit troubled.

“Didn’t you report your uniform size to me?” she said, folding her arms across her chest. “And then… I bought the women’s version. I forgot you’re a boy.”

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Xu Yecheng, then slowly slid down to her slender waist.

“Oh, with a figure like this, I guess I worried for nothing. That slim waist—quite a bit of charm, actually.” The manager’s expression immediately relaxed.

Xu Yecheng was completely stunned.

Oh no. This is bad. Very bad. Something is definitely off about the manager.

“By the way, why are you still wearing this outfit…” the manager looked her over with mild helplessness and asked in a low voice.

Xu Yecheng’s expression stiffened.

She only had this one…

“You don’t have many clothes, do you?” the manager asked again.

“I don’t really have money to buy women’s clothes,” Xu Yecheng said helplessly. That was the truth.

“That’s rough,” the manager sighed, then took Xu Yecheng’s hand. “Hang in there. You’ll be fine. Work hard—once you’ve got money, you can buy pretty clothes to wear.”

Xu Yecheng looked confused. She stared at the manager holding her hands and couldn’t help complaining inwardly.

Why does this feel like a TV drama?

“Alright, hurry and go~” Seeing Xu Yecheng starting to look shy, the manager quickly let go of her hand. “Your skin is really well taken care of.”

Xu Yecheng chuckled and decided to play dumb. “Manager, I’ll go try on the uniform first.”

“Okay, okay~” the manager replied, her tone tinged with helplessness.

How strange… Yecheng is clearly a guy, yet this small frame looks just like a girl’s. Even her hands are so delicate—soft to the touch.

Thinking that a man could be more feminine than she, a woman, made her feel a little wounded.

When Xu Yecheng opened the door and walked out, she felt rather dazed.

After being with Ji Qingying for a whole month, Xu Yecheng hadn’t even held hands with her more than a few times.

And today, right off the bat, she’d had her hands held by two girls. Was she really blessed with romantic fortune—or really blessed with romantic fortune?

Dou Yuwei looked at Xu Yecheng as she came out, her face once again breaking into her signature smile.

When Dou Yuwei smiled, she revealed small tiger teeth, with two dimples on her cheeks—it was extremely cute.

She casually hooked her arm around Xu Yecheng’s again, which surprised Xu Yecheng.

Wasn’t this girl a little too familiar too quickly?

Xu Yecheng thought helplessly.

“What did the manager say to you just now?” Dou Yuwei asked curiously.

“She just talked about work stuff,” Xu Yecheng replied. A soft sensation came from her arm; she could clearly feel Dou Yuwei’s hands wrapped around her…

Dou Yuwei seemed to notice that Xu Yecheng’s expression wasn’t quite right.

Xu Yecheng felt her arm loosen as Dou Yuwei’s expression turned a little awkward.

“Was I too excited?” Dou Yuwei looked apologetic. “I might’ve gotten a bit carried away. It’s rare to have another girl working in the same area as me, so I got overly happy… I’m kind of a self-starter. If I caused you any trouble, I’m really sorry.”

Seeing her look so pitiful, Xu Yecheng quickly replied, “No, no… I don’t mind at all. It’s fine.”

Dou Yuwei nodded with watery eyes, and Xu Yecheng suddenly didn’t know what to do.

What was she supposed to say…

“Wuwuwu, really? Everyone else thinks I’m annoying.”

“Of course not. Why would you be annoying?”

Dou Yuwei wrapped her arm around Xu Yecheng’s again. “Ning Ning, you’re pretty and gentle. Honestly, I could cry.”

To be fair, Xu Yecheng really felt a bit drunk from the praise.

Why did it feel like she was being praised in some weird premium fan group kind of way?

“There are so many guys on the second floor. I always feel like I don’t fit in at all,” Dou Yuwei sighed helplessly.

Xu Yecheng once again didn’t know what to say.

A sense of guilt suddenly rose in her heart.

She was a guy too…

“Ning Ning, why haven’t you accepted my friend request yet?” Dou Yuwei asked cautiously.

“Huh? Maybe I didn’t see it,” Xu Yecheng replied.

Dou Yuwei froze.

“Are you that busy, Ning Ning?”

“Yeah,” Xu Yecheng answered helplessly.

“Alright then, I’ll forgive you.”

Xu Yecheng laughed softly. As Dou Yuwei looked at her face, a sense of astonishment rose in her heart.

This…

Is this something she just can’t understand—are beauties all like this!?

So… so dashing. Completely different from the gentle first impression Xu Wan Ning gave her. The way she smiled was really free and unrestrained…

Xu Yecheng received her uniform: a white top and black pants—very simple. She felt much more secure wearing it than what she had on before.

She went into the fitting room and hurriedly put on the clothes.

“Ning Ning~ are you done changing?”

Dou Yuwei’s voice came from the neighboring cubicle, startling Xu Yecheng.

So close!?

Xu Yecheng instantly felt terrible.

“Uh, yeah, I’m done.”

Afraid of giving herself away, she hesitated before answering.

Dou Yuwei stood at the fitting room door waiting for her. As soon as Xu Yecheng came out, Dou Yuwei hooked her arm again.

“Ning Ning, have you ever done…?”

“Huh?” Xu Yecheng looked completely confused.

“This kind of job…” After hearing her “huh,” Dou Yuwei’s perfectly normal expression suddenly became awkward.

Realizing what she meant, Xu Yecheng covered her face, her old face instantly turning bright red.

Damn it. She really deserved this!!

“Have you?” Dou Yuwei looked a bit sly. Seeing Xu Yecheng’s face completely red, she smiled again.

“No… but I’ve worked as a waiter before,” Xu Yecheng replied, suppressing the embarrassment.

“Then that’s fine. Don’t worry—if you don’t understand something, just ask me.” Dou Yuwei patted her chest, but the next second her gaze fell on Xu Yecheng’s chest, and she immediately felt wounded.

Engineering girl, pretty, gentle personality, taller than her, better figure than her…

Dou Yuwei felt inferior.

“Okay, thank you,” Xu Yecheng said softly.

“You’re welcome!” Dou Yuwei immediately smiled like a little sunflower. “There are super handsome guys on the second floor—there’s one in particular who’s absolutely incredible…”
