Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Why do you and your sister give me that look the moment I woke up? I just had a fever."

These words, once spoken, immediately ignited Lin Jianxia's resentment:

"Jiang! Yu! Bai! You know you slept all day! I thought you just had a slight fever!"

"When I took his temperature, it was 38.5 degrees Celsius, and it even spiked to 40 degrees Celsius that night! I was so worried, I almost called 120 for an ambulance, you know!"

"Uh... it can't be that serious, can it..."

"A high fever lasting several hours can damage the brain!"

Jiang Yu opened his mouth, then obediently shut it up:

"I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Lin Jianxia hadn't expected this guy to back down so quickly. A torrent of complaints stuck in her throat, and she could only manage to utter one sentence:

"What...what did you do wrong?"

What do you mean by "where did I go wrong"?

How do I know where I went wrong? Was it because I had a fever?

Seeing his bewildered expression, Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and groaned softly:

"...To put it another way, what is it that makes me angry?"

What's making you angry?

Jiang Yubai glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table:

"Hmm... 10:48 AM?"

"Jiang Yubai—!!!" Lin Jianxia was furious.

"Just kidding," Jiang Yubai said helplessly, "How am I supposed to know what's making you angry?"

I don't even know why you're angry.

"...I didn't finish the ginger soup."

Jiang Yubai didn't hear clearly:

"what?"

"You didn't finish the ginger soup I made for you after you got caught in the rain on Friday!"

Ginger soup?

That spicy, strange taste seemed to resurface on his lips, and Jiang Yubai's mouth twitched involuntarily.

"No... I drank more than half a bowl, didn't I? I don't think whether I have a fever or not has anything to do with this..."

"Regardless of whether it's related or not," Lin Jianxia insisted, "you must finish it next time!"

Next time...

Jiang Yubai found it amusing, but readily nodded on the surface:

"Okay, next time if you catch a cold, I promise I won't leave a drop."

Getting a cold and fever once a year is considered lucky. I'm already a senior in high school, and who knows if we'll all go our separate ways after college, so there's no such thing as a next time...

Lin Jianxia, ​​of course, had no idea what this guy was thinking.

Seeing Jiang Yubai's sincere apology, she felt a little embarrassed and mumbled:

"I was wrong too... I should have let you change your clothes when we got back..."

Jiang Yubai readily nodded:

"Okay, it's your fault."

Lin Jianxia: "?"

She glared at Jiang Yubai for a long time, but decided not to argue with him, and turned to say:

"Wanwan, go back and change into your pajamas first. Dinner will be ready soon."

Lin Tingwan looked at her older sister, then at Jiang Yubai beside her.

"Isn't he all better now?" Lin Jianxia gently tapped her younger sister's head. "Besides, don't you feel at ease with your older sister here?"

Lin Tingwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, got up and went out.

Jiang Yubai heard a certain keyword, and his eyes lit up immediately:

"Have you eaten?"

He only drank some plain porridge that day, and his stomach had been rumbling for a while.

"No, I just woke up."

Lin Jianxia muttered something, then raised the thermometer gun and beeped it on his head.

"...The temperature has finally dropped."

Jiang Yubai then realized that if this guy went to sleep in the morning, it was only 10:30 now, so he had only slept for about four or five hours.

He leaned closer and took a closer look.

Lin Jianxia looked up, and Jiang Yubai suddenly appeared in front of her. She instinctively took two steps back, her ears turning bright red.

"What are you doing?"

What kind of reaction is this...?

Jiang Yubai was somewhat used to this guy's eccentricities, but he frowned and said:

"Speaking of which...aren't you sure you're okay sleeping for such a short time? Why don't you go and catch up on some more sleep?"

Lin Jianxia barely managed to suppress her pounding heart:

"No need, I'm the kind of person who can't fall back asleep once I'm awake, I'll just go to bed early tonight."

She poured a cup of warm water from the thermos next to her, mixed it with the medicine, and handed it over.

"Here, take your medicine."

"...I'm all better now, aren't I?"

“You still have to eat even if you’re better,” Lin Jianxia rambled on. “You have no idea, you’ve been talking nonsense the whole time you were asleep.”

"When I fed you your medicine, you just grinned like an idiot and said something like 'Big Brother took his medicine'..."

Jiang Yubai forced the medicine down his throat, and for a moment he couldn't help but become suspicious.

No, Dalang took his medicine...did he mention that himself?

But then, a thought struck him, and he asked casually.

"By the way, when I was lying in bed... you didn't do anything strange to me, did you?"

Lin Jianxia paused almost imperceptibly, then looked disgusted and said:

"Hey, Jiang Yubai, stop being so narcissistic! Who's going to lay a hand on you!"

"...I changed your T-shirt because it was soaked with sweat! I changed it with my eyes closed, okay!"

"It's not about changing clothes, it's something else," Jiang Yubai glanced at her sideways, "Are you sure you didn't try anything with me?"

Lin Jianxia frowned, reached out and touched his forehead again, muttering to herself in a strange tone:

"That's not right, it's clearly healed, so why is it still talking nonsense?"

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

What the heck? There's no response at all?

He took a deep breath and said irritably:

"Alright, alright, stop pretending."

"I'll let you in on a little secret: I looked like I was asleep, but I was actually awake."

Chapter 105: Sister Sleeps, Sister Goes on a Date—Winner!

"I'll let you in on a little secret: I looked like I was asleep, but I was actually awake."

After saying this, Jiang Yubai pretended to be annoyed, but actually he was secretly glancing at Lin Jianxia out of the corner of his eye.

When Lin Jianxia heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked blank.

A few seconds later, the girl frowned and asked curiously:

"Jiang Yubai, are you really delirious from the fever? Why are you talking so strangely?"

...Why don't you show any sign of guilt?

Could it not be her?

Jiang Yubai looked away and coughed lightly, saying:

"Oh, I see... Then I probably dreamt about it and didn't realize it at first."

He had already planned to end the conversation, but Lin Jianxia on the other end persisted:

"Hey, why do you dream that I'm touching you inappropriately?"

As she spoke, she made a slightly disgusted face and shrank back a little:

"Eh...you wouldn't..."

Jiang Yubai: "?"

Hey, you're getting cocky and uprooting people if you don't discipline them for three days, aren't you?

He chuckled twice and said:

"Hey Lin Jianxia, ​​could you put on a maid outfit and make that expression again? You don't look like a maid at all in your casual clothes."

Lin Jianxia: "?"

Ignoring her slowly widening eyes, Jiang Yubai continued leisurely:

"But I also find it strange; this time it is indeed a bit different."
