It's over! Everything is over!

Why is it that the usually quiet café, where even the owner is often idle, is bustling with so many customers today?

It was just lunchtime, and the shop was already packed. 

Ning Chu was running around non-stop. 

Thankfully, his previous experience as a waiter helped him avoid any major mistakes amidst the chaos.

But here's the problem!

With work getting busier, he didn't have time to keep an eye on Wen Yang!

He kept glancing towards Wen Yang's direction, only to see him being awkwardly teased by a table of girls, which stirred up a bit of resentment in Ning Chu's heart.

What kind of people are these? 

Isn't there anyone to manage the customers harassing the waiters?

These women are really shameless! In broad daylight, they don't even know how to restrain themselves!

"Waiter! Over here!"

Just as he was about to rescue Wen Yang, a customer called out from the corner.

He could only give Wen Yang one last longing look before reluctantly heading towards the customer.

"One set of meal A."

"Got it." Ning Chu didn't bother with any formalities, quickly noting down the customer's order before turning to leave.

"Wait!"

He paused and hesitantly turned back.

"Can I add you as a friend..." The customer blushed.

"I'm a guy."

"It's no problem for me."

A chill ran down Ning Chu's spine, goosebumps rising all over. 

He had really encountered a pervert who didn't care about gender!

Though it was highly likely the customer still mistook him for a girl.

His face darkened, and he turned away.

After taking the customer's order, if he had any spare time, Ning Chu had to help the owner make coffee at the counter. 

Basic coffee didn't require much skill, and he had learned it quickly during the slower times after the café opened.

"Ning Chu, two Americanos." Wen Yang finally freed himself from the table of girls, leaning tiredly on the counter. "I feel more exhausted than doing street promotions outside."

"Just now… Did that guy ask to add you as a friend?" Wen Yang asked, frowning in displeasure. "You didn't give it to him, did you?"

Ning Chu, busy with his work, shook his head. "No, I'm not into guys. But you, what did those girls want? They were all over you for ages."

"Don't even mention it..." Wen Yang looked embarrassed. "They asked me how much for a night."

The girls in this world sure are straightforward.

"What kind of freaks are these! Should we just run away?"

Wen Yang immediately refused. "No way, we agreed beforehand. What would the owner do if we ran away?"

The main reason he doesn’t want to stop now was that because it’s a really rare thing for Ning Chu to wire a female outfit.

Once this stint was over, who knows when he’d get to see Ning Chu dressed like this again.

"Tch~ Why should I care about her? Two people doing the work of four, that's how heartless capitalists are."

If it weren't for the breach of contract clause, he wouldn't be working here in a maid outfit.

Ning Chu sighed, and as he turned to grab a coffee cup lid, he saw Wen Yang had already gone to serve another customer.

He brought the order to the customer's table. 

Luckily, the owner was also busy and had no time to check if he was calling the customers "master."

"Ning Chu!"

Zhang Shaoqing raised his hand and called out to him again from the corner.

"Here! You sure have a lot of requests! Can't you just stop causing trouble?"

"Call me master!"

"Getting too comfortable, aren't you?" Ning Chu coolly tidied up Zhang Shaoqing's table and asked indifferently, "Why are you drinking so much coffee? Planning to stay up all night?"

"Yep, by the way, I'll have a doughnut."

"We're out of those..." Ning Chu's face darkened as he noticed Zhang Shaoqing raising his phone, realizing that he had probably taken numerous photos.

This guy!

"I have to keep these as blackmail! But your and Wen Yang's photos are already on the school forum," Zhang Shaoqing said with a mischievous smile. "People have been voting for the two of you. In just half an hour, Wen Yang has over a thousand votes. The girls must be drooling."

"Disgusting."

"You've got over three hundred votes yourself. Impressive for a guy in a maid outfit."

Ning Chu gave him a cold look. "I don't have time for this nonsense."

I knew I shouldn't have come to this café, let alone interacted with the owner.

Now he's stuck in a maid outfit, being forced to call people master... He had once fantasized about a carefree future, but now he only felt chills down his spine.

The owner must have some sort of sadistic kink!

"Not enough customers..."

Returning to the counter, Ning Chu overheard the owner's complaint, "How come? With such a cute maid and a handsome butler, why aren't there more customers?"

"......"

"Hey, Ning Chu, stop spacing out. Someone's looking for you over there."

"Again..."

Ning Chu hadn't even had a moment to rest before he reluctantly walked towards the customer.

Before he got close, he noticed the customer's gaze lingering on his legs.

A leg fetishist! Kindred spirit!

But can't you find someone else's legs to admire?

With an internal sigh, Ning Chu forced a professional smile and approached. "What would you like to order?"

"Just bring me something." The customer glanced at the menu, then looked at him with an interested smile. "When do you get off work? I'll treat you to dinner."

Ning Chu frowned, suppressing his discomfort, and took a step back, shaking his head firmly. "I'm a guy."

"A guy?!"

Oh god! Why do you look even more excited?

Ning Chu was stunned. 

He could understand customers who wanted to add him as a friend, seeing it as hitting on a pretty "girl," but this one seemed ready to devour him.

The proportion of perverts in this hentai world is really high!

"No, I'm very busy."

"Sit down and chat with me for a bit? I'll pay for your time."

His face darkened, and he turned to leave, but the pervert suddenly stood up and reached for him.

Startled, Ning Chu quickly stepped back, clutching his chest to avoid the grab. "Are you crazy?"

"Playing hard to get? I like it." The pervert continued to reach for him, undeterred.

"Hey! You—"

"What do you think you are doing?!"

Before he could finish his sentence, a furious voice erupted from behind him. 

Wen Yang rushed out from behind, slamming the pervert onto the table.

Amidst the gasps of the café customer, Zhang Shaoqing silently picked up a metal chair.

Ning Chu was dumbfounded, standing there in shock.

"Wen Yang! Wen Yang!" The owner hurried out from behind the counter. "Don't fight! Let go! I'll handle this!"

"Damn it!" Wen Yang shoved the pervert away, wiping his hands as if they were dirty, then turned to Ning Chu. "Are you okay?"

Ning Chu was panic-stricken. It was the first time he saw Wen Yang so angry. 

He was shocked and confused: "This..."

He had never expected Wen Yang to appear at such a moment.

"You still want to make a move, what's wrong with you!" Wen Yang glared at the pervert fiercely.

Zhang Shaoqing, now standing behind Ning Chu with the metal chair in hand, cast a sinister look at the pervert. "Why'd you let him go? Should've held him down and break both of his arms. My family can afford to pay for the damages."

"......"

Ning Chu looked at Wen Yang and Zhang Shaoqing.

Since when did he become so important to his roommates...
