Sister, can I be a maid too?

"No."

Lin Jianxia's face hardened, and she spoke with righteous indignation.

Do I look like the kind of ungrateful person to you?

"..."

Having said all that, Jiang Yubai had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"Okay...okay."

—Oh well, it's just pretending to be weak for a couple of days, it's that simple.

As Jiang Yubai thought this, he put on a world-weary expression, as if his "uncle-in-law is about to arrive."

—You like lying to me, don't you? 'Egg-changing period'? Jiang Xiaobai, you wait, we'll settle all our old and new scores together!

As Lin Jianxia thought this, a hint of worry appeared on her face.

The two looked at each other and nodded.

As a result, the study was immediately filled with a harmonious atmosphere of mutual help and support.

Chapter 138 Facial Cleanser Can Actually Cure Illnesses

Saturday morning.

Jiang Yubai opened his eyes, yawning lazily, after being woken up by the alarm clock.

He stared at the ceiling for a while, then suddenly sat up.

Brush your teeth, wash your face, and get ready.

He gripped the doorknob, about to push it open, but then paused.

wrong.

He ran back to the bathroom and spent several minutes trying to adjust his expression in front of the mirror.

Only when the guy in the mirror looked weak and powerless, as if he had been up for three nights straight, did Jiang Yubai nod with satisfaction, push open the door and walk out.

As soon as he stepped outside, he took a deep breath as usual, and his eyes lit up.

But the next second, he suddenly frowned and sniffed carefully again, not believing it.

The air was filled with a fragrant aroma, but it also carried a strange, spicy scent.

It feels slightly...familiar.

—Really?

Jiang Yubai's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition immediately arose.

He moved quietly and hesitantly toward the dining table.

At the dining table, Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan, the two sisters, were already seated as usual, waiting for him to start the meal.

Seeing Jiang Yubai's haggard appearance, a fleeting smile crossed Lin Jianxia's eyes, but her face was full of concern:

"Jiang Yubai, you... you're on your period?"

Jiang Yubai nodded heavily:

"Yes, this time... it's a bit more serious than before."

As he spoke, he even put on a weak and haggard expression.

Lin Tingwan, standing to the side, glanced at her sister, then at Jiang Yubai, whose expression was clearly off, and worriedly raised her little notebook:

Is Jiang Yubai sick?

Before Jiang Yubai could speak, Lin Jianxia turned her head and patiently explained to her younger sister:

"It's not that you're sick, Wanwan. Just like your sister and I used to feel unwell, Jiang Yubai will also have a few days like this. It's okay."

Lin Tingwan nodded as if she understood, her expression relaxing a little, but her gaze still fell on Jiang Yubai with worry.

Jiang Yubai remained silent for two seconds.

Now that things have come to this, it seems impossible for me to say something like, "I made up the egg-molting period."

After Lin Jianxia finished 'explaining' to her younger sister, Jiang Yubai looked at the dining table in front of him with a subtle expression:

"Um... could someone explain to me what this is?"

In front of Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan, there was Jiang Yubai's favorite spicy cheese chicken pancake.

And in front of him...

It consisted of two large white steamed buns, served with a large bowl of reddish-brown, unidentified liquid that emitted a pungent odor.

“Steamed buns with ginger soup,” Lin Jianxia said matter-of-factly, “are delicious.”

—You're kidding me, I want spicy chicken pancakes!

Jiang Yubai squinted and looked over, his voice weak but tinged with a struggle:

"If I may ask one more question... are there any other options?"

Lin Jianxia shook her head seriously:

"You're feeling weak right now and can't eat spicy food, so there won't be any cheese spicy chicken pancakes for you today."

"Big white steamed buns are easy to digest and can replenish energy; ginger soup is good because it's easy to catch a cold in this weather, so drinking it will keep you warm and keep you cozy."

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

This guy's tone was exceptionally patient, like he was coaxing a disobedient child.

But the way she spoke made it clear that she was doing it all for her own good, so Jiang Yubai couldn't find any fault with her.

He opened his mouth, trying to struggle:

"Um... since you're feeling weak, shouldn't you eat something good to nourish yourself? Like... chicken or something?"

As he spoke, his gaze kept drifting towards the spicy chicken pancake across from him, his meaning couldn't be clearer.

"No."

Lin Jianxia refused decisively.

"It's only morning now, why bother with supplements? Light and easily digestible foods are the most important."

So you can only eat plain steamed buns?

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched, and his gaze fell on the bowl of red ginger soup beside him, his voice sounding even more bitter:

"Well... I don't need to drink ginger soup anymore, right? I think I'm quite healthy..."

He had actually smelled it long ago, but he was just unwilling to give up and wanted to struggle a little longer.

After all, he vividly remembered that smell and really didn't want to experience it again.

"Neither."

Lin Jianxia moved the bowl of ginger soup towards him again, looking completely at ease.

"Ginger soup is for prevention. You're not very healthy, what if you catch a cold?"

She blinked and added:

"Besides, how long did you have a fever after you didn't finish the ginger soup last time?"

"Besides, you've already made me longan and brown sugar water. This was just a small gesture of care; you don't need to feel embarrassed."

Jiang Yubai looked at the steaming bowl of 'care' and was speechless for a moment.

—The last fever had absolutely no causal relationship with the ginger soup!

Besides, he'd rather drink longan and brown sugar water than this stuff; at least that tastes better.

She wanted to say something more, but when she looked up and met Lin Jianxia's "loving" gaze and Lin Tingwan's worried eyes, she swallowed her words.

"Ugh......."

Sitting back in his chair, Jiang Yubai resignedly took a bite of his steamed bun.

The steamed buns were soft and sweet, but no matter how fragrant they were, they were still just steamed buns. No matter how much you chewed them, you couldn't taste the spicy chicken pancake flavor.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, was still gently reminding:

"Don't just eat, what if you choke? Have some ginger soup to help."

Jiang Yubai was a little suspicious that this guy was doing it on purpose because of his solicitous tone.

After staring at her for a while, Lin Jianxia's face was full of concern, and even a hint of innocent doubt.

"What's wrong?" She blinked and turned to look at Lin Tingwan beside her. "Wanwan, do you think he should drink ginger soup?"

Lin Tingwan nodded earnestly, her eyes clear.

What else could Jiang Yubai say?

He took a deep breath, picked up the bowl of ginger soup, looked at it for a few seconds with a complicated expression, and finally hardened his heart, pinched his nose and poured it down.

Sweet, spicy, and with the pungent kick of ginger, all rush into your throat at once.

After finishing the bowl of ginger soup, Jiang Yubai ate two large mouthfuls of steamed bun to suppress the strange taste in his mouth.

After finally finishing this grueling breakfast, before he could even catch his breath, Lin Jianxia suddenly came over and firmly supported his wrist.

He was momentarily stunned:

"No, what are you doing?"

Lin Jianxia didn't say anything, but gave her sister a wink.

Lin Tingwan immediately understood and obediently took his other arm.

The two sisters, one on each side, lifted him up and carried him towards the room.

Only after putting him back on the bed did Lin Jianxia nod in satisfaction and instruct him:

"Jiang Yubai, you can rest well today. Leave the things at home to me."

Jiang Yu opened his mouth, but swallowed the words back. In the end, he could only nod weakly and shrink into the quilt, trying his best to look "sickly and weak".
