Sister, can I be a maid too?

If I don't help, I'll look like a big shot.

But going to help... seems even less appropriate.

Seeing that the two sisters had made their beds, Jiang Yubai finally found an opportunity and hesitantly spoke:

"Um... how about... I wait for Dad to come back and pick me up..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia paused in her actions, raised her head, and squinted her eyes:

"Jiang Yubai, where did your fearless confidence go?"

"Uh...you didn't say you'd be staying in your room..."

Now it was Jiang Yu's turn to roll her eyes.

"By the way, aren't there any other rooms? Actually, the storage room wouldn't be a bad option..."

Lin Jianxia stood up expressionlessly:

"No! We don't have one! The house is too small, it would be a real inconvenience to not have one like that!"

"If there were other rooms, why would Wanwan and I sleep in the same room as you?"

Seemingly having finally opened up, Lin Jianxia's tone became increasingly exasperated:

"Grandma's bed is too small; it can't fit three people at all. You can't lie down on the sofa either. Do you expect me to sit in a chair all night?"

"Well," Jiang Yubai interjected weakly, "I actually think it's not entirely impossible..."

"Shut up!"

Lin Jianxia glared at him.

"I've already laid out a mattress for you on the floor. Now you're saying you won't sleep? You're going to sleep today whether you like it or not!"

Jiang Yubai immediately fell silent and obediently nodded.

"When Wanwan and I are changing clothes, you go out and don't come back in. We'll call you when we're done."

"We have new toothbrushes, and towels..."

The girl hesitated for a moment after saying this.

“I’ll just wipe it with a tissue!” Jiang Yubai immediately replied.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and said again:

"Also, the 38th parallel is in the middle."

She gestured vaguely between the bamboo mat and the bed, her tone serious:

"Absolutely, absolutely do not come over, do you hear me?"

“Received,” Jiang Yubai said with a serious expression. “I promise I will stay completely still in bed… except when I need to use the toilet.”

After saying this, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Tingwan beside him.

The girl still looked as cute and adorable as ever.

—After all this time...it turns out you're the one who's the most abnormal!

"Sister, I was going to be sleeping in the same room as you, if you had hesitated for even two seconds... I would have sensed something was wrong, asked around, and then definitely sent Dad to pick me up..."

Lin Jianxia had no idea that so many thoughts had been going through this guy's head.

Or rather, even if they knew, they wouldn't have time to care.

After all, she was actually incredibly shy, and her pouty expression was just a facade.

For the next half hour, the three of them took turns brushing their teeth and washing their face, and a subtle silence filled the air.

Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia were both extremely nervous, and when their eyes accidentally met, they would awkwardly look away.

Lin Tingwan remained calm and continued to brush her teeth and wash her face diligently as usual. Before going to bed, she even asked for a goodnight hug.

It wasn't until long after the lights were off that Lin Jianxia's hesitant voice came from beside the bed:

"Hey... Jiang Yubai, aren't you cold?"

There was no air conditioning, so Jiang Yubai relied on a thin blanket under her and a quilt on top of her to keep warm.

He shrank deeper into the covers and replied lazily:

"It's not cold, the corner is at a 90-degree angle."

There was a two-second silence on the other end, then the tone became increasingly resentful:

"If you tell another lame joke, I'll come down and stomp on your foot."

"Oh, there's a reward too."

"Jiang Yubai!" The pleasant voice became furious. "You...you don't have anything to say now?!"

"I do have something to say."

"what?"

"You called me 'brother' so sweetly before, could you say it again?"

"Jiang Yubai, go to hell!"

After that, there was no further sound; it seemed she had completely given up on him.

Jiang Yubai took a deep breath, feeling the bed filled with a clean, faint lavender scent.

He tried to ignore the fact that he was sleeping in the same house with two beautiful girls and started silently counting sheep in his mind.

Time seemed to pass for a very long time, so long that even the sleepless guy on the bed had started to breathe evenly. Only then did Jiang Yubai slowly relax his tense nerves, and his consciousness began to drift and sink.

In a daze, the blanket on my body suddenly moved slightly.

The next second, a soft and warm body pressed against her.

Chapter 172 You'll get caught and spanked if you sneak into someone's bed like that!

My consciousness went haywire for a few seconds.

When Jiang Yu finally realized what had happened, her eyes widened abruptly, and the sleepiness she had managed to cultivate vanished instantly.

He stood frozen, not daring to move an inch.

The warm, soft touch felt real against his side, and her supple body was still wriggling beside his blanket.

He secretly pinched his arm—it hurt.

Not a dream.

Who is this?

Is it Lin Jianxia or Lin Tingwan?

It's so hard to guess! Who is this beautiful girl who's not sleeping in the middle of the night and has found herself in my bed? How can it be so hard to guess?

Jiang Yubai took a deep breath, slowly reached for his phone, and suddenly darted into bed, turning on the phone.

In the soft light, a certain silly girl tilted her little face up, blinked her eyes, and looked at him with an innocent expression.

Jiang Yubai took a deep breath, feeling the lavender scent filling the bed, and said in a low voice, somewhat annoyed:

"Wanwan! Why are you crawling into my bed in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

He really couldn't hold it in anymore.

No, your sister is still in bed, how dare you come over here?!

If he gets caught, then he...

Oh wait, it wasn't him who went to her bed; it was obvious that Lin Tingwan crawled over there on her own.

It's impossible that he was the one who tied this little idiot to the floor!

But... even if Lin Tingwan really did find her way there herself—wouldn't he be the one who's doomed?!

Lin Jianxia didn't care who went first or last; she would definitely grab a broom and kick him out on the spot, then he would really have to sleep under a bridge.

Facing Jiang Yubai's fierce gaze, Lin Tingwan showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, she lowered her head and reached out to take Jiang Yubai's hand.

Before Jiang Yubai could react, the next second, he felt a soft touch on his hand.

Isn't this the same trick used at the New Year's Eve gala?

He composed himself and tried to decipher the words in his hand.

"think....."

"River....."

"I miss Jiang Yubai."

Jiang Yubai's deliberately stern expression immediately softened, and he said helplessly in a low voice:

"Wanwan, can you stay just two meters away from me? Didn't I give you a hug before we went to sleep?"

The meaning conveyed from the palm this time was very clear.

"not enough"

Jiang Yubai took another deep breath, his tone becoming somewhat resentful:

"Lin! Listen! Wan! Do you know there's a thing called 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'?!"

"If you sneak into someone's bed like that, you'll get caught and spanked!"

Heaven help me, Jiang Yubai isn't a eunuch. This sweet, soft, and completely unsuspecting beautiful girl just crawled in like that. I feel like I'm about to faint.

It's fortunate that he had left behind a shirt and pants, which is why he's barely managing to hold on.

If Lin Jianxia hadn't been right there, he really would have wanted to pin this guy down on his lap and give him a good spanking.

But Lin Tingwan just pursed her lips and continued to write and draw on his hand.

"It's Jiang Yubai, so it's okay."

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

What do you mean it's okay if it's me? You know I can't do anything to you, so you only pick on the weak, right?
