The days as a maid went by quickly, and Lin Jin, while gradually adapting, began to have a headache dealing with those students who frequented the online forums. Now, even as he walked on campus, people would look at him and whisper among themselves that Lin Jin looked a lot like the maid from the forums.
Though it's the same person, so looking alike is not an issue.
"Lin Jin, your wages for this week." Sister Chen sat at the counter, taking her rightful place as the boss. In the entire restaurant, she was probably the one with the most leisure time, hiding behind the counter and playing on her mobile phone every day. During peak business hours, she would count money until her hands were cramped, and at most, she would come out to help with taking orders occasionally.
She was very satisfied with Lin Jin's performance this week. Lin Jin was conscientious in his work and treated guests with a special maid's demeanor. Most importantly, thanks to Lin Jin's good image and the restaurant's marketing on the nearby university's online forum, the restaurant now had a decent reputation. Many people came to eat just to catch a glimpse of the so-called maid. But since they weren't students from the polytechnic university themselves, they couldn't possibly come every day.
"You've done well, so I'll add a bit more to your wages." Sister Chen looked at Lin Jin, dressed in a maid's uniform, and nodded in satisfaction. She opened the drawer, which was filled with stacks of money, making Lin Jin's eyes go wide.
"How much is it?" Lin Jin swallowed, having worked for a week and endured the humiliation as a maid for a week. Wasn't this payday what he had been working for?
"How long are you planning to work this Sunday?" Sister Chen counted the money, looking down as she asked Lin Jin.
"Four hours" Lin Jin replied without hesitation. When he initially scheduled his weekend time, he had written down four hours.
"I've already given you Tuesday's money along with the image rights" Sister Chen took out a calculator, tapping away, speaking simultaneously, "On Wednesday you worked two hours, Thursday was three hours, Friday was two hours again, Saturday and Sunday four hours each, at the rate of fifteen yuan an hour..."
Lin Jin tried to calculate his wages in his mind first, but his math was poor, so after struggling for a while, he decided to honestly wait for Sister Chen to calculate it three times over.
"Two hundred and twenty-five in total" Sister Chen looked up and smiled at Lin Jin, "Considering your good performance, I'll give you three hundred."
"Mm." Lin Jin nodded forcefully, taking the three hundred yuan from Sister Chen's hands. Unable to contain his excitement, he finally broke into a smile, thanking Sister Chen with his sweet loli voice, "Thank you, Sister Chen."
"It's fine, you're not working next week, right?" Sister Chen continued to smile as she stood up, "Then come and visit after you finish your work today."
"Mm-hmm." Lin Jin couldn't stop smiling, his big white teeth showing, "I'm off to work now!"
"When you smile, cover your mouth a bit, your teeth are a little uneven, so it doesn't look good when they show." Sister Chen kindly reminded him before waving him off to work. "Go on."
Covering his mouth while smiling?
Lin Jin nodded at Sister Chen, his mind filled with her reminder.
Indeed, his teeth were slightly misaligned. Although his mother had always told him not to lick his teeth when he was losing his baby teeth, he couldn't resist, and as a result, his two front teeth were slightly protruding. It wasn't very noticeable, so he never cared much.
But was it unattractive to smile with my teeth showing?
Perhaps he had become accustomed to the various strange task rewards from the black cat, Lin Jin suddenly hoped for a dental correction reward. After all, as a man, he surely couldn't cover his mouth when he smiled, right?
Lin Jin always tilted his head slightly when he was deep in thought. He didn't know if it was a habit from childhood or if it was because he had watched too much anime and subconsciously thought it looked cuter that way.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Jin looked up and found that Wu Min had entered the store alone.
"Why did you come alone?" Lin Jin poked his head out, looking behind Wu Min, "Wen Xuan didn't come?"
"He didn't come. I just brought a friend for dinner, wanted to show her the cross-dressing expert from my dorm." Wu Min teased Lin Jin with a smile, "Why isn't the maid calling me 'master' now?"
"Pah, you're not even a guest." Lin Jin rolled his eyes at him, annoyed, speaking bluntly, "Just find a two-person seat for yourself, there aren't many customers anyway."
"You don't act like a good maid at all, completely different from the excellent attitude and sweet voice they talked about online." Wu Min casually sat down at a two-person seat near the entrance, continuing to tease Lin Jin, who was standing at the door with nothing to do, "I don't know how those guys found you to have a good attitude and sweet voice, you usually talk like a duck."
"What's wrong? Why do you have so many questions?" Lin Jin huffed, though he had lost all restraint and gotten used to calling people "master", he still found it completely impossible to use that term with his close roommate. "Who did you come with? Where's that person?"
"Feng Jing." Wu Min shrugged, "She's gone to the restroom."
"Oh~" Lin Jin's face immediately revealed a knowing smile. He leaned over the table, propping himself up with his arms, and moved closer to Wu Min, "Are you planning to add Feng Jing to your harem?"
"Just an ordinary friend. We were bored over the weekend, so we came out to hang out."
As they were speaking, Lin Jin suddenly caught sight of Feng Jing standing outside the restaurant's glass door, ready to come in. He immediately stopped chatting, adopting the demeanor of "just a maid" and pulled a menu from under the table to hand to Wu Min. "Please place your order."
Feng Jing looked around the restaurant curiously, her eyes finally landing on Wu Min seated nearby. Her face faintly showed a pleased expression, but then her gaze was drawn to Lin Jin, who was dressed in a maid's outfit.
"Welcome back, Master." Lin Jin's face twitched as he forced himself to say this line. To hide his expression, he covered his stomach with his hand, bowing slightly to Feng Jing.
To be honest,
"Eh, there really is a maid!" Feng Jing exclaimed, looking Lin Jin up and down, but her eyes finally stopped on Lin Jin's face. "Wu Min, she looks a lot like your roommate."
"Just a slight resemblance" Wu Min helped Lin Jin cover up, signaling Feng Jing to sit across from him.
"Just a slight resemblance?" Feng Jing looked bewilderedly at the face of the maid beside her, the more she looked, the more she thought it was Lin Jin, except Lin Jin's face didn't seem as pretty as this maid's.
It was solely because Lin Jin had not spoken face-to-face with Feng Jing since his intermediate facial transformation, so her impression of Lin Jin remained as it was during that physical education class.
After taking Wu Min's order, Lin Jin retreated with a smile, simultaneously making a gesture to Wu Min where Feng Jing couldn't see.
"Good luck flirting!"
Wu Min's eyes narrowed slightly, and he mouthed a "get lost" to Lin Jin.
That's my roommate for you, perfectly in sync with me. We can communicate back and forth without even speaking.
