Volume 3 Chapter 9
by Golden DragonVolume 3 + Chapter 9: The Junior Maid
“No, I was just worried that if you stood beside me dressed like a maid, Wang Qian might see…”
“See what?” Before Ouyang Qianxue could finish, an icy voice sounded from behind him.
“Uh…” He stiffly turned around, only to find Wang Qian standing there at some point, staring at him with a cold, expressionless face.
“Y–you… why are you here?”
“I heard your class was unusually noisy from the classroom next door. I got worried something might’ve happened to you, so I came to take a look. But what do I find?” As she spoke, Wang Qian turned her gaze toward Xia Bingdie.
At this moment, Xia Bingdie, dressed in a maid outfit and having just been surrounded and stared at by a crowd, was flushed deep red with embarrassment. Tears glistened at the corners of her eyes, her expression full of grievance. Coupled with her petite figure, she looked like a pitiful little girl who had just been bullied by a villain.
“So what I saw that day at the hospital wasn’t a coincidence after all. You really do have a strong interest in maids. At first, it was just asking female online friends to wear maid outfits for you, but I didn’t expect that while I wasn’t paying attention, you’ve already escalated to targeting your junior in real life! Ouyang Qianxue, you’ve got some nerve, coercing a junior into wearing a maid outfit at school, in front of everyone, just to satisfy your fetish!”
With that, Wang Qian slammed her hand on the desk and pointed accusingly at Ouyang Qianxue, her gaze as if she were staring at a public enemy.
“You asked female online friends to wear maid outfits? S–so Ouyang-senpai really does have that kind of interest! Yuxuan-senpai was telling the truth after all!” Hearing this, Xia Bingdie trembled, looking at Ouyang Qianxue with newfound caution.
“Looks can be deceiving. You may appear like a pure and innocent beauty, but inside you’re a complete pervert!” Wang Qian clenched her fists as she approached Qianxue.
“Wait! I can explain!” Ouyang Qianxue said hurriedly.
“She volunteered to be my maid! I don’t have any such intentions at all!”
“Oh? Is that so?” Wang Qian turned to Xia Bingdie.
“Yes. If I didn’t wear the maid outfit and apologize to Ouyang-senpai, I would be expelled from the student council!”
“Oh, so it’s coercion. That’s even worse than deception. I… I’m calling the police!” Wang Qian immediately pulled out her phone to dial.
“Stop! Can’t you at least let me explain properly?” Ouyang Qianxue said, on the verge of tears.
“…Is that really the case?” Only after a long explanation did Wang Qian finally look at him with some doubt.
“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xia Bingdie!”
“It’s true, Ouyang-senpai isn’t lying.”
“But Qianxue, don’t take advantage of her while she’s serving as your maid, alright?”
“I wouldn’t!”
“Phew…” Only after Wang Qian left did Ouyang Qianxue finally let out a sigh of relief.
“It’s almost time for class,” Ouyang Qianxue said when she noticed Xia Bingdie still hadn’t left.
“But Yuxuan-senpai said that during these three days, I’m not allowed to slack off. No matter when, I must serve at your side as your maid.”
“But it’s class time. Are you really okay not going back to your own class?”
“It’s fine. As the top student of my year, the teachers won’t interfere. And I already previewed the first-year curriculum during the summer, so attending second-year classes won’t be too difficult, it can count as early preparation.”
“But with you dressed like that standing beside me… it’s really embarrassing.” With Xia Bingdie in a maid outfit by her side, the entire class kept glancing over and whispering.
At that moment, the bell rang. Bai Yuxuan entered the classroom and sat directly beside Ouyang Qianxue.
“Good day, Yuxuan-senpai!” Xia Bingdie immediately bowed upon seeing her. Bai Yuxuan merely waved her hand indifferently.
“You’re not my maid. You know very well whose orders you should be following.”
“S–sorry, Ouyang-senpai. I am now your maid, please give me your instructions!”
“I don’t have any orders. Just act as you see fit,” Ouyang Qianxue replied helplessly.
“Understood, Ouyang-senpai.” With that, Xia Bingdie assumed a standard kneeling posture beside her.
“Why are you kneeling?” Ouyang Qianxue asked.
“If I stand, I’ll block the view of the students behind us.”
“…Then sit with me.” Ouyang Qianxue moved slightly, offering half her seat.
“But I’m your maid, taking your seat would be inappropriate…”
“Just sit. That’s an order.”
“Yes.” Xia Bingdie carefully sat on the half-seat she had been given, even shifting outward slightly to make Qianxue more comfortable.
Though petite, Xia Bingdie was still a cute girl, and sitting so close to another girl made Ouyang Qianxue’s face flush slightly.
“Hey, Bai Yuxuan, you made Xia Bingdie my maid just to mess with me, didn’t you?” Ouyang Qianxue whispered.
“Well, if you want to think that way, go ahead. Watching you suffer like this, unable to say anything, it’s quite entertaining.”
“You!” Seeing her infuriating expression, Ouyang Qianxue had the urge to punch her, but knowing he couldn’t beat her, he suppressed his anger.
“But there’s a reason I assigned her to you. That girl’s quite capable, but she’s rigid and lacks flexibility. Frankly, she’s been influenced by me too much. So I’m taking this opportunity to send her to you for some proper ‘training.’”
“But did it have to be as my maid? Do you know how much misunderstanding this caused me today?”
“That’s not my problem. Besides, the maid matter is now settled. Oh, actually, if we’re being precise, I only owed you one day as a maid. I’ve repaid you with three days through Xia Bingdie, which means you now owe me two days instead. But I’m generous, I’ll give you a discount. Just serve me as a maid for one more day.”
“You…!” Ouyang Qianxue pointed at her, trembling with anger.
“I’ve never seen anyone so shameless!”
“Well, a businessman needs thick skin. Remember to find time to repay that one day,” Bai Yuxuan said casually.
“In your dreams!” Ouyang Qianxue snorted, turning his head away angrily.
And so, whether during lunch or in class, Xia Bingdie stayed by Ouyang Qianxue’s side without leaving.
Later that evening, as they returned to the dormitory.
“Hey, it’s already night. Aren’t you going home?”
“Um… actually, like you, Ouyang-senpai, I’m a boarding student. So tonight, I’ll take care of your daily needs.”
