Sister, can I be a maid too?

The roadside trees are starting to turn yellow, and when the wind blows, sparse leaves twirl and fall.

Lin Jianxia lowered her head and focused on stepping on the scattered fallen leaves on the sidewalk, making a soft "crunching" sound under her feet.

Jiang Yubai glanced at her sideways, finding it somewhat amusing:

"Hey Lin Jianxia, ​​how old are you this year? Still doing this kind of thing?"

Lin Jianxia paused, looked up, and pouted:

"Mind your own business? I'd rather not."

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.

He blinked before tentatively speaking:

"No, why are you talking outside today? Aren't you afraid someone will overhear you?"

Normally, as soon as Lin Jianxia stepped out of the community gate, she would automatically go silent, never uttering a word under any circumstances, as if she had stepped out of some kind of safe zone.

But why today...?

Although the voice was a little quiet, at least she opened her mouth!

Lin Jianxia glanced around, then casually changed the subject:

"Wow...look, the leaves on both sides of the road have turned yellow."

"Nonsense, it's autumn already, it's not an evergreen tree," Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her, "Don't change the subject, why are you talking today?"

Lin Jianxia glared at him:

"What? I'm Lin Jianxia, ​​not Lin Tingwan. Is it strange that I can talk?"

"Don't give me that," Jiang Yubai said, completely unfazed by her attempt to change the subject, and continued to press, "So? Why did you suddenly decide to speak up outside?"

"—I just wanted to say it, there's no other reason."

Lin Jianxia turned her face away and drawled out her words.

"Aren't you afraid someone will overhear us now?"

Jiang Yubai raised an eyebrow, deliberately teasing her:

"Be careful, tomorrow the whole school will be buzzing with news—'The silent beauty speaks out for love, the power of love triumphs over inner demons.'"

"Jiang Yubai!" Lin Jianxia's face flushed red, and she reached out to slap his arm. "Stop talking nonsense!!!"

What does it mean to speak out for love?!

What the hell is this bastard talking about?!

"Ugh, you don't even deny that you're a beautiful girl," Jiang Yubai said with a look of disdain. "So narcissistic."

To be honest, if she weren't afraid of attracting attention, Lin Jianxia would have really been prepared to fight him to the death here.

Five minutes later.

"Hey?"

Hello?

"Miss Lin Jianxia, ​​the Sailor Moon girl?"

No matter how Jiang Yubai tried to coax her, Lin Jianxia kept a straight face the whole time, walking quickly forward with her puffed-up cheeks, completely ignoring him.

“I’m telling you, Lin Jianxia,” Jiang Yubai turned his head and said sincerely, “say something. Your voice is so nice, it would be a shame if you didn’t say anything.”

Lin Jianxia's lips seemed to twitch slightly, but she immediately pursed them even tighter.

Jiang Yubai didn't mind at all.

After all, having a puffed-up little hedgehog to tease on the way to school is much more interesting than walking alone in silence.

Even my gloomy mood about the upcoming school term has improved considerably.

Just as he was about to say something more, he suddenly felt a cool sensation on the tip of his nose.

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked up at the sky.

The next second, large raindrops began to pelt down.

"I go!"

He hurriedly slung his backpack over one shoulder, pulled an umbrella from the side pocket, and opened it with a "whoosh".

Almost simultaneously, a figure naturally moved close to his side.

Jiang Yubai turned his head and saw that Lin Jianxia hadn't taken out her umbrella at all. Instead, she comfortably huddled under his umbrella, and the corners of her mouth even curled up slightly.

"Lin Jianxia," he complained, "where's your own umbrella?"

"In my schoolbag~"

She answered readily.

"...Then why don't you take it out?"

“No,” the girl said matter-of-factly, “Why should I do it myself when someone else is holding the umbrella for me?”

"?"

Jiang Yubai raised an eyebrow and mischievously tilted the umbrella towards himself.

"Hey hey hey!" Lin Jianxia's eyes widened, and she instinctively moved closer to him. "Jiang Yubai!"

Jiang Yu was amused and tilted the umbrella back to its original position.

"Okay, okay, stop jumping around, or you'll splash water all over me."

"Let it splash!"

After some playful fighting, the two finally signed a truce and walked away on opposite sides.

The rain was getting heavier, and with limited space under the umbrella, the two unconsciously moved closer together.

Listening to the sound of the dense raindrops, Lin Jianxia quietly turned her head and looked at the person beside her.

Jiang Yubai still had an indifferent expression, as if he hadn't noticed them at all.

For some reason, Lin Jianxia's heart skipped a beat and then started beating faster, pounding against her eardrums.

At the same time, however, an inexplicable sense of security quietly crept over me.

As the girl looked around, her gaze slowly drifted downwards, finally settling on Jiang Yubai's wrist.

Their wrists were so close together, it seemed like only a slight movement was needed...

It's like we'll bump into each other.

Lin Jianxia recalled the gesture of Wanwan grabbing his wrist earlier, and something stirred in her heart.

So the two little people started fighting again.

The little white figure looked aggrieved.

"Why did you hit me? You're not Wanwan, how can you just touch someone's wrist like that?"

The little black figure punched the cat-like fists loudly, and said fiercely:

"What's wrong with holding hands? It's raining so hard, aren't you afraid of slipping? It's not like we're holding hands, why are you making such a fuss!"

The little white figure was taken aback, then suddenly realized:

"That's right!"

Lin Jianxia quietly took a breath, her fingertips curling at her sides, and finally mustered up her courage.

She moved her arm and reached for Jiang Yubai's wrist, which was hanging by his side.

Bonus Chapter: The Daily Life of the Two Sisters Swapping Bodies (Part 2) (Free)

(P.S., because everyone says I cut off the extra chapters, but that's really not what I intended. It was just a little inspiration that came to me suddenly...)

(However, it is indeed my fault if everyone is not satisfied with what they read, so I quickly wrote this free sequel. It is not long, and I hope everyone enjoys reading it.)

(To reiterate, this is a parallel world 'what if' scenario, set in the second year of university! It has absolutely no relation to the main text!)

"......"

"......"

After the explanation, Jiang Yu stood frozen in place, feeling a cold sweat breaking out on his brow.

"Um..." he asked, clinging to the last shred of hope, "Wanwan, don't scare me, this is no joke."

But then he saw Lin Tingwan in front of him sneer and write something on the notebook.

Jiang Yubai peeked over and froze instantly.

"You were whispering sweet nothings to me in your room yesterday, and now you're coming to Wanwan first thing this morning wanting a kiss, huh?"

"You still say there's nothing between you two? Jiang Yubai, have you no shame?!"

Seemingly growing angrier the more she thought about it, the girl in front of her began to write furiously:

"How do you usually cricket with Wanwan?!"

"What do you mean by 'moves to deal with me'? 'Sharp tongue but soft heart,' you're just a prickly little hedgehog, aren't you!"

"Jiang Yubai, your summary is pretty good! No wonder you're always so considerate whenever I get angry; you've already figured out a trick for it, haven't you!"

Jiang Yubai's heart grew colder the more he looked, and he quickly pressed down on her small hand, which was still writing something:

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!"

Now he seemed to be absolutely certain that the person in front of him really was his adorable little girlfriend.

He swallowed hard, put on a sincere expression, and unleashed his ultimate move:

"Um... honey, don't be angry."

Lin Jianxia was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened suddenly, and her ears turned red instantly.

Hey, this looks promising!

Jiang Yubai was overjoyed and quickly pressed down her small hand, which was about to write something:
