Sister, can I be a maid too?

Jiang Yubai didn't pull his hand back, but simply turned his head and replied in a low voice:

"Yes, she's already in, sitting in the last row. She'll leave first before the end of the day, and we can meet up at the school gate after school."

Lin Tingwan nodded thoughtfully, then quietly returned her gaze to the stage.

The shows came one after another: singing and dancing, skits, instrumental medleys...

Jiang Yubai was engrossed in watching when he suddenly felt a familiar, slightly itchy sensation in his palm.

He came to his senses and felt the strokes of the brush at his fingertips.

This time I wrote it very quickly, only three short words.

"bathroom."

Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment, then took the girl's small hand and wrote:

"Does Wanwan know the way? Do you want me to take you there?"

While this behavior alone might seem a bit... taking someone to the restroom is...

But since Lin Tingwan rarely comes here and is alone, he was a little worried that she might get lost.

However, seeing that she shook her head to indicate that she didn't need it, Jiang Yubai didn't say anything more.

Lin Tingwan stood up and walked quietly out along the dimly lit corridor, her figure quickly disappearing into the shadows behind the auditorium.

Jiang Yubai was watching the show on stage, but he was a little absent-minded. He kept turning his head to see if the girl had returned.

To his relief, Lin Tingwan quietly returned to her seat after only five or six minutes.

Sitting down beside him, Lin Tingwan didn't look at the stage, but turned her head to quietly stare at him.

Looking at each other with big eyes, a strange thought arose in Jiang Yubai's mind.

—What's wrong? Do you have something to say to yourself?

He blinked and very naturally offered his hand, placing it on the girl's leg.

It feels warm and soft to the touch, just like always.

If it were before, Lin Tingwan would have started writing in his palm by now.

But this time was different. The girl simply lowered her head, her gaze fixed on the hand he was resting on her thigh.

—Aren't you going to write it?

Jiang Yubai was increasingly puzzled. After thinking for a moment, he simply took Lin Tingwan's small hand and placed it on his lap, preparing to write first.

Just as I parted her slender fingers, her little hand suddenly became restless.

Before Jiang Yubai could react, she had already broken free and pinched his unsuspecting thigh hard.

"Awooo—!!!!!"

Chapter 148 So, I can actually hold it in like this? Then...

Eight....Seven....Six....Five.

Yes, this should be it.

Lin Jianxia silently counted the rows from the back, stopping at the fifth row aisle and looking inside.

Sure enough, that familiar figure was sitting quietly at the end.

The moment her gaze fell upon him, the subtle tension in the girl's heart vanished without a trace.

She pursed her lips and walked step by step down the red carpeted steps of the auditorium.

The closer she got to that idiot, the more at ease she felt, so much so that even Lin Jianxia felt a little pathetic.

—I used to always be alone, and now I'm just sneaking in to watch a show, why am I so nervous...?

—It's one thing to be nervous, but what is there to rely on about this idiot?

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but recall the words Jiang Yubai had said to her before.

"Sure, if you get arrested, just say you're my family member."

—Home my foot! Who wants to be your family member?

—If you get caught, you idiot, you'll still have to obediently accept the punishment!

Although she was muttering these thoughts to herself, for some reason, Lin Jianxia felt her ears getting slightly hot.

She quickened her pace and sat down in the reserved empty seat.

Calming her pounding heart, she gently turned her head to look at Jiang Yubai beside her.

Jiang Yubai also happened to turn his face to the side.

When their eyes met, Lin Jianxia suddenly didn't know what to say.

Should you scoff and say, "Hey, your plan seems pretty good," or casually look away and pretend to be engrossed in the show?

Lost in thought, Jiang Yubai in front of him looked puzzled.

—What are you wondering about?

The next second, Lin Jianxia froze, and like a rusty gear, she slowly lowered her head.

In the dim light from the stage, she saw a familiar claw pressing arrogantly... against her thigh.

Lin Jianxia: "......?"

Lin Jianxia: "??????"

The incident happened so suddenly that she was stunned for a moment, and even wondered if she was hallucinating.

She was stunned for a few seconds, and before she could react, Jiang Yubai took advantage of the situation and reached out to pull her hand...

It was pressed on his leg.

Lin Jianxia looked up at him in disbelief, only to find that Jiang Yubai showed no embarrassment whatsoever, but instead had an air of complete entitlement on his face.

—No, you touched my leg as soon as I sat down? Touching me is one thing, but you even pulled my hand to touch yours?

—It's all about reciprocity, isn't it?!

She felt a surge of anger rise from the bottom of her heart, took a deep breath, and abruptly broke free from his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Jianxia precisely pinched the soft flesh on the inside of his thigh with two fingers and twisted it hard—

"Awooo—!!!!!"

......

Jiang Yubai quickly covered his mouth before he could finish his shout, so the rest of the sound was muffled into a "woo-woo."

It let out a howl, looking just like a single dog whose tail had been stepped on.

Although he reacted quickly enough, the sound still got out.

Fortunately, the singing on stage was lively and cheerful, and only a small circle of classmates around them cast slightly strange glances.

Meanwhile, Lin Tingwan, standing to the side, had already lowered her head, her ears turning bright red, clearly embarrassed to be associated with him.

Jiang Yubai felt bitter inside, silently rubbing the flesh on his thigh that had been pinched, unable to speak for a moment.

Judging from his expression, even if he were stupid, he should have figured it out by now...

This isn't Lin Tingwan at all; it's clearly her older sister, Lin Jianxia.

The younger sister knows to touch her palm when writing, but the older sister doesn't.

She thought she was going to talk to him, so she casually put her hand on his lap... It's a miracle she wasn't beaten to death by Lin Jianxia.

...Then wouldn't that mean he got hit for nothing?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai felt even more bitter.

He grimaced and rubbed his thigh muscles again, feeling that the inside was probably already bruised.

So unlucky, so unlucky, so unlucky...

Jiang Yubai sighed and turned his head to look over... just in time to see Lin Jianxia suddenly lower her head.

It seems this guy was probably staring at me just now.

He had just leaned over to explain when Lin Jianxia shrank back like a startled rabbit, her face full of wariness.

When she saw him looking at her, she hurriedly lowered her head, looking completely at a loss.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

—What kind of mess is this...?

"Ugh....."

Jiang Yubai sighed and explained helplessly in a low voice:

“I…I thought you were Lin Tingwan.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jianxia suddenly raised her head again, her eyes filled with disbelief, and a hint of 'You are actually Jiang Yubai like this!'

Jiang Yubai didn't understand what was going on at first, but then he suddenly realized.

"No, it's not what you think, okay? I really didn't bully Wanwan..."

He spoke, a mixture of amusement and exasperation in his voice, his words quickening considerably.

"Wanwan can't speak, and the light is so dim that I can't see her notebook, so we communicate by writing on our palms."

Jiang Yubai paused, his expression helpless:

"I thought you were Wanwan, and when I saw you looking at me like that, I thought you had something to say to me, so I offered you my hand."

"Then, seeing that you weren't moving, I wanted to ask what was wrong, so I took your hand..."

After explaining, he opened his mouth as if to say something more, but in the end, he just said with a rather annoyed expression:

"Um, I'm sorry..."

No matter how reasonable one's actions may be, from Ren Linjianxia's perspective, her actions were indeed somewhat...

Ok.
