My Boss Transmigrated Into a Maid and I Became Gay - Chapter 25

The question that had been haunting her resurfaced with a vengeance. Lu Ying had intended to just play dumb and indulge herself in this world, but the panic rising in her chest made it impossible to let the maid collapse into her arms without a care.

Lu Ying swallowed hard and carefully pushed the maid back. “Um… why don’t you sit down and rest for a bit.”

Before she could finish, the other woman knit her brows in pain. The aftereffects of the roller coaster were too strong; she couldn’t even manage to sit down while holding the safety rail. Her body swayed as if she were about to topple over at any second.

Lu Ying’s heart softened, and she reached out to support her again. “Be careful.”

The roller coaster had delivered a violent series of jolts and visual shocks. During the ride, the adrenaline spike made her numb to it, but now that they had slowed down, the physical toll came rushing back all at once.

Jian Qin felt dizzy and nauseous. Her consciousness began to blur, and she could barely tell where she was. In her haze, she seemed to hear the voice that had appeared in her dreams countless times. Thinking of that first meeting and the words “Sister, be careful,” she instinctively hugged the person in front of her.

“Why don’t you remember me…?”

“You never call me ‘Sister’ anymore…”

She was filled with a deep, aching grievance, almost sobbing those words as she held the soft, delicate girl in her arms, terrified that she would vanish in the next heartbeat.

Lu Ying froze, completely stunned.

Hypothesis A: If this person isn’t President Jian but just a maid, then the maid, influenced by the Mary Sue protagonist aura, should just like the heroine. Where did this “Sister” stuff come from?

Hypothesis B: If this is President Jian playing the role… then the “you” in her words—could it be the White Moonlight?

Tsk, tsk. Who would have thought President Jian’s White Moonlight was actually a younger brother (or someone she treated as one).

Fine, a “noona” romance is one thing, but the “brother” has amnesia too? What kind of melodramatic plot is this?

Come to think of it, President Jian’s perfume is milky and sweet; that “brother” must be a clingy, adorable “puppy” type to match.

The puppy and President Jian…

Wait! What does any of this have to do with me, Lu Ying?!

She refused to be anyone’s body double!

At this moment, Lu Ying forgot all about hiding her identity. Rage flared in her heart. She wanted to push the woman away, but the other woman held her too tightly; she couldn’t break free.

She snapped, “Let me go!”

Jian Qin’s mind was drifting further. Sensing the girl in her arms wanted to leave, she instinctively pulled her closer, murmuring, “Don’t leave me…”

Lu Ying bit her lower lip so hard it hurt, afraid she would say something cruel in her unstable state. She was truly furious.

How can President Jian treat me as a substitute for her White Moonlight?!

She didn’t even know why she was this angry, but at this point, the reason didn’t matter—she just wanted to push her off!

But the more she struggled, the more force the other woman used. Lu Ying was at her wit’s end. Just as she was about to say something else, the head on her shoulder finally lifted.

An impossibly beautiful face loomed large before her. Lu Ying was still angry, but her struggling ceased.

Turns out, being mad at a beautiful person really can be cured by their face…

Jian Qin’s vision was blurry. Her head was spinning violently, and after using so much strength just now, she felt like she could faint at any moment. Yet, she still wanted to soothe the girl in her arms who, for some reason, had lost her temper.

“Don’t be angry…” Her voice was low and raspy. She locked eyes with the Young Mistress for a moment, and her gaze suddenly dropped to the girl’s lips.

Lu Ying’s lower lip had just been bitten; it was moist, glistening, and a tempting shade of red.

“You…”

Perhaps because she was unwell and her mind was clouded, Jian Qin lost all self-control in an instant. Staring at that dash of vivid red, she was overcome by a sudden, irresistible impulse and leaned straight in for a kiss.

The moment the kiss landed, Lu Ying didn’t even have time to react. Then, her heart began to hammer uncontrollably, and fireworks seemed to explode in her mind.

Does President Jian know what she’s doing?!

She wanted to push her away, but her hands rose only to fall back down limp.

What was she supposed to do…? She didn’t hate this kiss at all…

She knew the woman was mistaking her for someone else, but…

Lu Ying’s racing heart suddenly felt a sharp pang of sorrow, and she stopped resisting.

Slowly, the tight hug shifted into a loose embrace around the waist, but their breaths remained tangled. Seeing no resistance, Jian Qin closed her eyes and gently tasted those sweet, soft lips, completely losing herself in the illusion.

She didn’t dare deepen the kiss, merely sampling the surface. The emotions she had suppressed for so long were nearly boiling over. Jian Qin opened her eyes and saw the girl’s trembling eyelashes; she couldn’t bring herself to be ruthless.

Jian Qin remembered her saying… she was afraid of pain.

Their lips parted. Their foreheads rested against each other. Amidst their ragged breathing, Lu Ying felt as if she were falling from the clouds. When she finally snapped back to her senses, she was back on her small, five-foot-wide bed.

…

…

…

Holy crap! What did I just do!!!

Lu Ying bolted upright. She checked the time on her phone, then stared blankly at the wall.

What happened? Wasn’t she at the amusement park to fulfill her dreams and take photos? How did she end up losing her first kiss in such a muddled way???

Lu Ying’s brain was a mess. Even if she didn’t want to admit it, the maid’s behavior today had completely proven that she couldn’t be an NPC. While other NPCs might deviate slightly, they still strictly followed their settings. Only the maid was different; her words and actions had completely shattered the script.

…

Dammit. Forget about being “busted”—the bigger problem was that she’d given her first kiss to President Jian for some inexplicable reason. How was she supposed to face her!

That’s her boss! HER BOSS!

How could she have been so bewitched to let President Jian kiss her while being mistaken for someone else?

Lu Ying felt like her whole world was falling apart. She sat there clutching her duvet for a few minutes before reaching a difficult decision.

No matter what… she couldn’t face President Jian anymore.

Even if there were a 0.01% chance that President Jian and the maid weren’t the same person, she would feel incredibly awkward facing the real Jian Qin. She simply couldn’t act like nothing happened and continue working with her.

Fine. Her year-end bonus was officially a lost cause. She had to resign…

Filled with shame and regret, Lu Ying washed up and headed out. She radiated such a tragic, miserable aura that several people on the subway gave her concerned looks. Just yesterday, she had been happily planning to stay until the bonus; who knew such a massive disaster could happen in a single night?

She sent a tearful message to her best friend.

Sakura-chan: Doggy-Egg QAQ I’m going to resign. My bonus is gone.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: ??? Why!

Sakura-chan: I can’t stay here anymore. Something Earth-shattering happened last night QAQ

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: How Earth-shattering? Did you and the maid do “the deed”?

Sakura-chan: …

Sakura-chan: Not quite that far 🙂

Being interrupted like that made Lu Ying feel like a kiss wasn’t that tragic after all. She explained the night’s events to her friend. The reply was a long string of “Hahaha, I SHIP IT!” before getting serious.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: If your boss really is the maid, she just kissed you, and then you immediately resign. Any idiot would guess you’re the Young Mistress.

Lu Ying felt like a lightbulb had gone off. Crap, you’re right!

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: Honestly, I didn’t think you were this slow before.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: Dummy, thanks for the laugh. This transmigration is really doing a number on you.

Sakura-chan: …It’s called being too close to the situation to see clearly!

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: Fine. Anyway, you can’t resign right now unless you want to be caught on the spot.

Sakura-chan: You’re right. I guess I have to wait a few more days.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: But even if you resign, you’ll still transmigrate. You’ll still see your boss every night.

Lu Ying sighed. She had indeed fantasized about living a carefree life in the Mary Sue world, but that was when she thought she was alone. Now that she was dragging President Jian along, she couldn’t keep writing.

Sakura-chan: I’m going to try writing “The story of the Young Mistress ends here. THE END.” and see if that stops the transmigration.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: Eh? That’s a pity… if it works, you won’t be able to do whatever you want in that world anymore.

Sakura-chan: I have no choice. I’m fine with whatever happens to me, but I can’t drag others into this.

Rainbow Doggy-Egg: Wow~ you’re actually radiating a sense of justice right now!

Sakura-chan: …Shut up!

By the time she reached her stop, Lu Ying felt much better. While walking, she added the line she told Doggy-Egg to the end of her draft. The transmigration had brought scares, expectations, and novel experiences, but it was time for the dream to end.

Fearing she would regret it, Lu Ying closed the page and put away her phone as soon as she typed “THE END.”

*****

At the office, she kept her headphones on and her head down. Sister Zhuan didn’t get a chance to talk to her until lunch. “It’s payday today! Did you check your account?”

Payday? Lu Ying had forgotten. she pulled out her phone. The amount was significantly higher than last month’s.

Sob… she’d just gotten a raise.

Lu Ying pouted in grievance. She had worked so much overtime, and just as a glimmer of hope appeared, this had to happen!
