Sister, can I be a maid too?

Jiang Yubai turned his head as he spoke, but swallowed the rest of his sentence.

He looked at Lin Jianxia in front of him and paused for a moment.

The girl in front of me had changed into an oatmeal-colored knitted cardigan, with a light apricot-colored cotton undershirt underneath, and paired it with off-white straight-leg casual pants.

The soft material accentuated her slender figure, and the warm color scheme made her skin appear even fairer.

Her ponytail had come undone, and her long hair was loosely gathered at her shoulders, with a few stray strands falling around her neck, making her look warm and clean.

Unlike the loose T-shirts she usually wears, this outfit with its slightly lazy style unexpectedly suits her temperament.

The shop assistant next to me smiled and said:

"Your friend has fair skin, a clean and elegant demeanor, and a great figure. Wearing light colors like these really enhances her complexion."

“It might not be obvious when she wears casual clothes, but when she changes into a well-fitting style, her figure and proportions immediately come out – it really suits her.”

Although these words carried a hint of professional praise, they were truly from the heart.

Having worked as a shop assistant for so many years, she can still find the best aspects to praise even when dealing with customers who have the most difficult outfits to put together.

But someone like the one in front of me, who exudes a clean and bright girlish charm the moment she puts on the clothes, is truly rare.

This is a real clothes hanger; he'd look good even if you put a burlap sack over him.

Lin Jianxia felt her ears burning from his gaze and couldn't help but look away, humming softly:

"How's this outfit...?"

Although she was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, she could only repeatedly tell herself, "He paid for it, so I have to let him see the results," which barely suppressed the urge to turn around and run away.

After all, she had never had such an experience before.

She specially picked out some nice clothes to change into, and then stood in front of the boy like this, asking, "How is it?"

I feel so embarrassed!!!

However, Jiang Yubai didn't think that much about it. He just couldn't help but look her up and down a few more times before immediately confirming:

"It looks good, this is the one."

Lin Jianxia visibly breathed a sigh of relief, and her first instinct was to run away:

"This one will do, I'll go change..."

"Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute," Jiang Yubai quickly called out to her.

He said to the female shop assistant next to him:

"Excuse me, could you please let her wear this outfit first, and then get a new set of the same style and pack it up? We can pay for both sets together later."

The shop assistant nodded crisply:

"Okay, please wait a moment."

As the shop assistant turned to prepare the goods, Jiang Yubai took a step forward, only to see Lin Jianxia, ​​arms crossed in front of her, cautiously take a half-step back.

"W-What are you going to do?"

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

"No, what's with your reaction?" he couldn't help but complain. "I just wanted to ask something else. You didn't just pick one set, did you?"

Lin Jianxia's expression froze:

"...What? Didn't we already choose this one?"

Yes... definitely... after all, I was worried he wouldn't like it, so I picked out three or four different styles...

Jiang Yubai gave her a strange look:

"Why are you in such a hurry? We didn't say we were only buying one set. Since you're here, why not buy more?"

"Besides your pajamas and school uniform, you only have two or three other clothes in your closet that you can wear out. If you change and wash them frequently, then you'll really only be able to wear maid outfits when you go out, right?"

He sensed something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.

As expected, Lin Jianxia was taken aback for a moment, then her beautiful eyes widened suddenly:

"Jiang Yubai! You went through my closet?!"

Jiang Yubai hissed inwardly and quickly explained:

"The weather was chilly before, and Lin Tingwan was wearing too little clothing. I glanced at her when I was looking for pajamas for your sister! I really didn't mean to rummage through them!"

He tried to make his expression look innocent.

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip and glared at him, then gritted her teeth after a long while:

"Wait!"

-----------------

"Hello, that's 620 yuan in total. Let me round it down to 600 yuan."

With the shop assistant smiling and watching him leave, Jiang Yubai carried four paper bags out of the store.

He turned to look at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was still studying the receipt with her head down, and couldn't help but speak:

"Still looking? Come over and help me carry two."

Lin Jianxia then came to her senses, carefully put away the receipt, and obediently took the bag from his hand.

Jiang Yubai walked beside her, glancing at her once, then again… and then once more.

"What are you looking at!"

Lin Jianxia's ears turned slightly red, and she glared at him irritably.

"Can't I even look at my new clothes?" Jiang Yubai said matter-of-factly.

After that, Lin Jianxia tried on three more outfits in different styles.

Every time Jiang Yubai saw her come out in new clothes, his eyes would light up slightly.

He originally planned to buy them all, but due to Lin Jianxia's strong opposition, he had no choice but to select only two sets.

The outfit she's wearing right now is an oatmeal-colored knitted cardigan paired with off-white trousers.

The other outfit was a tracksuit packed in a bag: a smoky gray jacket paired with dark gray sweatpants, exuding an invincible youthful vibe.

To be honest, Jiang Yubai was 100% certain that if Xia Jianjian had worn either of these two outfits into school, she would have received 10,000 times more love letters.

...Although I receive a few emails now and then, I don't even look at them and just throw them in the trash.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, was clearly lost in thought, her ears slightly red.

The two walked in silence for a while before she belatedly looked up and gazed around blankly:

"Wait... this isn't the way home, is it? Where are you going?"

Jiang Yubai glanced at her, his expression unchanged, and said:

"Oh, well... I still need to buy some things."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia blinked, suddenly becoming alert:

"What else... do you want to buy?"

Chapter 107 Why go back?

What do you want to buy?

Jiang Yu blinked, then used the same trick again.

"You'll see when you get there if you want to buy good things."

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, couldn't help but complain:

"Hey, that's what you just said, okay? But when you got here, it turned into you saying you were going to buy clothes for me and Wanwan!"

“Uh…” Jiang Yubai looked at the bag in her hand, “Just tell me if it’s good stuff or not.”

Lin Jianxia ignored his interruptions and pressed on:

"Tell me quickly, what do you want to buy?"

"Just guess, we'll find out when we get there," Jiang Yubai continued to laugh it off.

“I won’t guess,” Lin Jianxia stopped in her tracks, her face full of vigilance. “Unless you tell me what you’re going to buy, I’m not leaving.”

Jiang Yubai also stopped, but did not answer immediately. He just looked up.

“It’s alright,” he said casually. “Look, we’ve arrived.”

Lin Jianxia was taken aback and turned her head in the direction he indicated.

The two were standing in front of a brightly lit shop, with a pear logo with a bite taken out of it shining quietly above their heads.

The moment Lin Jianxia saw the symbol clearly, her eyes widened in surprise:

"You want to buy a cell phone??"

Clothes were already the limit of what she could accept, but this phone... no matter how much she worked after graduation, she couldn't pay it back!

Seeing her strong reaction, Jiang Yubai quickly explained:

"This time it's really not for you. Your sister probably doesn't have a phone yet, right? I'm thinking of buying her one."

These words startled Lin Jianxia, ​​who subconsciously repeated:

"Buy it for...Wanwan?"

"Yes. Think about it, we're both at school. What if we run into another accident like this and can't contact Lin Tingwan? We can't just leave her waiting at home alone."

Jiang Yubai softened his tone, saying with a hint of helplessness,

"You've probably noticed that she's actually quite insecure right now, and if this continues, her condition will only get worse."

"Looking at it from another angle, if something happens at home, she can't really come to the school to find us anyway, so having a cell phone would be much more convenient."

This idea actually came to me on the way back.

Since Lin Tingwan is unwilling to go out, there should at least be a way to contact her at any time.

After all, it was only with great difficulty that Lin Tingwan's condition improved. If this happened twice more, wouldn't all our previous efforts be in vain?
