Sister, can I be a maid too?

“Hey, I paid for the meal,” Jiang Yubai raised an eyebrow. “Have you thought about how to repay me?”

Lin Jianxia narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a hint of danger:

"How can I repay you? How about I dress up in a maid outfit for you?"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback upon hearing this, then cleared his throat, feigning composure:

"Didn't I already tell you? I have absolutely no interest in maid outfits. This... it doesn't appeal to me at all."

Lin Jianxia ignored him and continued eating with her head down.

After about ten seconds, Jiang Yubai coughed softly again:

"Um... are you really going to wear it?"

Lin Jianxia almost laughed out of anger:

"Didn't you just say you weren't interested?!"

“A gentleman helps others achieve their goals,” Jiang Yu said without batting an eye. “Since you want to wear it, then I—”

"I don't want to wear it."

Lin Jianxia remained expressionless.

"...It's boring." Jiang Yubai said, feeling utterly bored.

If he doesn't want to wear it, he doesn't want to wear it. Actually, he didn't really want to see it.

Seeing his dejected expression, a triumphant smile flashed in Lin Jianxia's eyes, and she changed the subject:

"Hey, how did your Chinese test go this morning?"

“I’m not called Hey, I’m called Chu Yuxun.” Jiang Yubai gave her a curt look.

Lin Jianxia readily changed his tune:

"Oh, Chu Yuxun, how did you do on your Chinese exam?"

"...Lin Jianxia, ​​are you feeling quite smug?" Jiang Yubai's lips twitched.

"Really? I didn't know."

The girl's tone was light and cheerful, with the last syllable even rising slightly.

Perhaps because he always teases her, this time she finally gained the upper hand, making her feel a little smug.

Jiang Yubai rolled his eyes inwardly, but didn't continue arguing with this guy. He simply said:

"The multiple-choice questions were all quite easy, but I'm not so sure about the last one."

"The reading comprehension questions were basically the same type you covered during the National Day holiday, so I did them fairly well."

When it came to serious matters, Lin Jianxia's expression also became serious, and she said in a low voice:

"Finally, we need to choose C. A and B are actually distractors; only C..."

After chatting for a few more minutes, Jiang Yubai's previous question resurfaced, and he couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, you said before... Lin Tingwan's Chinese and English are a little better than yours?"

Lin Jianxia hadn't expected him to suddenly bring up her sister, and subconsciously nodded:

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

She suddenly realized something and her eyes widened:

"You don't mean to ask Wanwan to tutor you, do you?"

"what are you thinking?"

Jiang Yubai glanced at her speechlessly.

Lin Tingwan is already quite capable of understanding it herself, let alone teaching others...

Are you suggesting I make her hold up the spiral notebook and point it out to me page by page?

"No, then why are you asking about Wanwan?"

For some reason, Lin Jianxia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm just curious," Jiang Yubai said, stuffing a piece of potato into her mouth, her voice slightly muffled, "can she write an essay of 800 words? How does she do it?"

—Oh, so that's what you wanted to ask....

“Of course, she memorized them,” Lin Jianxia said helplessly. “Wanwan actually memorized a lot of essays, just like ancient poems.”

"Actually, you don't need to be very creative in your essays. Just write a standard, formulaic essay, and you'll definitely get a passing grade."

"...It can be done like this?"

Jiang Yubai really didn't expect to hear such a simple and blunt answer.

"Are you finished eating?" Lin Jianxia pouted. "You eat so slowly."

Are you eating so slowly?

Jiang Yubai snapped out of her daze, first glancing at the empty plate in front of her, then looking up at her small face, her expression suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

"...Were you thinking about something very rude just now?"

Lin Jianxia narrowed her eyes, her tone carrying a warning.

No, you're mistaken.

Jiang Yu Bai promptly denied it, then quickly shoveled the last few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"Let's go."

— He absolutely did not think of any nicknames like 'Little Pig Lin' or 'Little Pig Xia'.

......

After lunch break, the second exam began immediately.

The math test was much easier for Jiang Yubai; things like the eccentricity of conic sections and the coordinates of the foci of an ellipse...

I was basically able to solve each problem as it came, except for the last sub-question of the last big question, which took a little more effort.

Jiang Yubai capped his pen, glanced at the time, and realized there was still a full hour left before the exam ended.

His gaze slowly shifted and landed outside the window.

The sky was overcast, and the rain drizzled on and on, showing no sign of stopping.

The weather forecast says a typhoon is approaching, and judging from the current situation, it looks like the next week will be filled with rainy weather like this.

Jiang Yubai sighed softly in his heart, then shifted his gaze to the proctor's shiny forehead.

Their physics teacher, surnamed Li, had a receding hairline and often paced around the classroom with a thermos in his hand.

At this moment, Teacher Li was sitting on the podium, her small eyes scanning around, and a somewhat bored expression on her face.

No, this is no fun either.

Jiang Yubai's gaze darted around, finally settling on his deskmate's handsome profile.

Lin Jianxia was frowning slightly, her eyes fixed on the questions on the test paper.

A few stray hairs fell from her high ponytail, and the pen tip hovered over the draft paper.

It seems he's stumped.

Jiang Yubai peeked over and glanced at it, then couldn't help but mentally complain.

You idiot, you got stuck on conic sections again, didn't you?

Didn't I tell you yesterday that we should first determine the location of the focal point, and then use the eccentricity to write the equation?

If all else fails, just draw auxiliary lines.

Stupid...

"Jiang Yubai!"

Old Li, standing on the podium, suddenly spoke, his tone serious.

"Check your work after you're done, and don't disturb others while they're doing their problems!"

As soon as he finished speaking, half the class instinctively looked over.

Jiang Yubai: "........."

Lin Jianxia, ​​who was beside her, seemed to be pulled out of her thoughts by the voice. She turned her head, her eyes still filled with a lingering sense of bewilderment.

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched slightly, and he silently withdrew his gaze.

After a pause of about two seconds, Lin Jianxia seemed to suddenly understand something, and quickly turned her face back, her ears gradually turning a thin blush.

On the podium, Old Li leisurely took a sip of tea from his thermos and continued to survey the examination room.

He had noticed this guy long ago, whose eyes would wander around as soon as he finished the test.

Originally, I didn't intend to get involved, but who knew that Jiang Yubai would look around and eventually focus on Lin Tingwan.

It would have been fine if he had just glanced at it, but this guy went even further and peeked inside, clearly showing no respect for the proctor.

However, if it were anyone else, such an action would have been treated as cheating.

But... Jiang Yubai went to look at Lin Tingwan's math exam paper...

Old Li shook his head inwardly.

......

After the math exam, school was dismissed immediately.

Lin Jianxia stopped pretending at this moment. After tidying up her things, she sat down and turned her head to stare at Jiang Yubai.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, what's the rush?"

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her, slowly packed her things, and then stood up.

It was still pouring rain outside.

As soon as Jiang Yubai opened the umbrella, Lin Jianxia slipped inside without a second thought.

Only after the two of them left the school gate and the crowd thinned out did she finally begin to hum and whine:
