Sister, can I be a maid too?

no response.

Dr. Panda Gummies.

Still no response.

After trying several times, Jiang Yubai finally confirmed one thing...

It had nothing to do with what she wrote or what snacks she kept in her notebook—Lin Tingwan simply didn't want to communicate.

After finally understanding this fact, Jiang Yubai was quite devastated.

Wait a minute, why did switching to a different route reset his affection level to zero?

That's not how it is in Ga La Ge Mu Li!

At home, Lin Tingwan would even secretly pass her a little notebook, but at school, she wouldn't even give her a glance.

He couldn't help but glance at her again. The girl beside him was quietly reading a book, looking like she was studying diligently.

and many more.

Jiang Yubai frowned, his expression gradually becoming suspicious.

Could it be that Lin Jianxia... is setting herself up again?

It was said that Lin Tingwan was coming, but it turned out to be her. She pretended not to recognize herself, so that she could legitimately ignore people.

Jiang Yubai thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.

He couldn't help but lean closer and tentatively call out in a low voice:

"Lin Jianxia?"

The sound was very soft; only the two of them could hear it.

To Jiang Yubai's surprise, the girl beside him remained in the same position, without even a tremor in her eyelashes.

Ruined.

If it were Lin Jianxia, ​​hearing this name would definitely break her composure, and she would at least glare at him.

After all, this guy had repeatedly warned them never to mention the fact that the sisters had switched identities in front of others.

In other words...

The person in front of me is indeed Lin Tingwan.

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

Over the next half day, Jiang Yubai became increasingly convinced of this judgment.

Lin Tingwan beside him was unusually quiet.

She took out the corresponding books according to the class schedule, took down the necessary notes, and noted down the teacher's questions, classmates' discussions, and even the occasional glances directed at her...

There was absolutely no response.

For her, the school seemed to have truly become a fortress that needed to be heavily defended.

The method she chose was to completely shut herself off, leaving no gaps.

Jiang Yubai watched her mechanically turn the pages of the book, feeling that she was a completely different person from the girl who had secretly passed him the note.

Sometimes, he would even have a bizarre thought...

Could they not be twins, but triplets?

The girl in front of him, so quiet she was almost invisible, was the most silent one he had never truly met.

Putting aside his new deskmate, Jiang Yubai felt that the atmosphere in the class was somewhat strange.

Wherever he went, he always seemed to notice the strange looks from his classmates, accompanied by quiet whispers.

But whenever he subconsciously looked over, the sounds would suddenly stop.

Those who wanted to read continued reading, and those who wanted to admire the scenery continued admiring the scenery, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

He also asked Li Yang, but Li Yang looked completely clueless.

until--

After lunch break, Jiang Yubai had just entered the classroom when he saw a familiar figure standing next to his seat.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise and stepped forward: "Zhao Yun? You want to see me?"

Jiang Yubai didn't actually have much of an impression of the female protagonist in the scandal.

If I had to put it into words... I'd say I'm just an ordinary classmate with whom I have some interaction, but who I forget about as soon as I turn my back.

Seeing him approach, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to tug at his sleeve.

Jiang Yubai took a half step back without changing his expression: "Is there something you need? You can say it here."

Zhao Yun paused, her gaze unconsciously drifting to Lin Tingwan sitting quietly beside him, before finally lowering her voice to ask:

"Um... Jiang Yubai, have you confessed your feelings to Lin Tingwan yet?"

Jiang Yubai: "?"

These impactful words left him stunned on the spot. After a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask:

"No, where did you hear that from?"

Zhao Yun's ears turned slightly red, and her voice became a little softer:

"It's...it's what they said, someone saw you in the pavilion on the hill behind the school yesterday after school."

"Who said that?" Jiang Yubai frowned.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It was Dong Chengze and the others who said..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yubai had already turned around and walked towards the back of the classroom.

In the middle rows, several boys were secretly watching this side. When they saw Jiang Yubai walking straight over, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Jiang Yubai stopped in front of their table, showing no mercy whatsoever: "What are you pretending for? It's quite interesting to spread rumors about me behind my back, isn't it?"

"Have you gone mute? Weren't you talking so enthusiastically before? Dong Chengze, speak up!"

Dong Chengze, who was in the lead, looked up somewhat awkwardly, his ears turning red, but he still stubbornly insisted on saying:

"Yesterday, weren't you and Lin Tingwan in the pavilion? Did I say something wrong?"

His voice unconsciously rose a little, and the students in the classroom all turned their gazes toward him.

"Is confessing your love in the pavilion?"

Jiang Yubai was so angry he almost laughed.

"Why don't you just say that using an umbrella in the rain is like eloping? Does that mean if you and your goddess brush past each other in a hallway, it counts as you two having made a lifelong commitment?"

Dong Chengze paused, glanced subconsciously at Zhao Yun not far away, then quickly turned his head away:

"I......."

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Jiang Yubai sneered. "You're the one who fabricated the rumors that I was two-timing you, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, Zhao Yun and Li Qiuyue ignoring you is because they are generous, and I'm ignoring you because I can't be bothered."

"You're still not done with this? Now you're spreading rumors about me and Lin Tingwan. Do you really think we're immune to criticism?"

After finishing his sentence, Jiang Yubai was too lazy to argue any further and turned to leave.

But the next second, Dong Chengze's resentful muttering drifted into his ears:

"What are you trying to do, trying to be a hero? Can Lin Tingwan hear you? You're just trying to be..."

Jiang Yubai paused, turned around, and walked up to him:

What did you just say?

Dong Chengze seemed surprised that he would return, and hurriedly looked away, but then, as if he had found some leverage, he forced himself to continue:

"What's wrong with talking? She...she's mute and half-deaf, she can't hear anything anyway! What's wrong with talking?"

Jiang Yubai remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he grabbed Dong Chengze's desk with both hands and, to the other's astonishment, flipped the desk and books over.

Chapter 28 You got into a fight over a little girl? (Please read on and vote with your monthly tickets~)

Bang——! ! !

With a loud bang, even the students who were resting on their desks couldn't help but look up.

Dong Chengze's desk was overturned on the ground, with textbooks, workbooks, and test papers scattered everywhere. His pencil case lay crookedly to one side, and several pens rolled far away.

Jiang Yubai stood in front of the mess and patted off non-existent dust from his hands.

Dong Chengze, who had been muttering to himself, froze on the spot, his face filled with astonishment and fear, unable to utter a single word.

Gradually, his face turned from white to red. The humiliation of having his table overturned in public made him stand up abruptly.

"Jiang Yubai—!!"

"What are you shouting for? Why didn't you shout like this when you were spreading rumors?" Jiang Yu's face was expressionless. "Who are you trying to fool with this act now?"

"What, you want to fight?"

Dong Chengze clenched his fists tightly, but dared not actually make a move.

Caught in a dilemma under the watchful eyes of everyone, they froze on the spot.

"What are you doing?!"

To be honest, when the homeroom teacher's angry voice came from the doorway, Dong Chengze even subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

In the corridor, the homeroom teacher, known as "Master Zhang," strode in.

Her gaze swept over the crooked table and the books scattered on the floor, then she looked at the two people facing each other like bulls, and her brows furrowed instantly.

"Jiang Yubai, Dong Chengze, what are you two doing?!"

The homeroom teacher, Zhang Shufang, became stern, her gaze shifting between the two of them.

Just as Dong Chengze was about to speak, Jiang Yubai stepped forward in one swift motion, indignantly saying:
