Sister, can I be a maid too?

"You don't mean to say... 'I thought this was part of the massage,' do you?"

Jiang Yubai's eyes lit up:

"Wow, how did you know I was going to say that—"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Jianxia had already grabbed a pillow and smacked him three times.

Pushing aside the pillow covering his face, Jiang Yubai slowly grumbled:

"No, your reaction is a bit too strong. I thought you would be happy that we reached an agreement."

"Who! Wants! To! Reach! A! Agreement! With! You!!"

The little hedgehog's fur stood on end.

Lin Jianxia stood up angrily:

"Okay, the massage is over! Wanwan and I are going to bed!"

"That's it?" Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment. "I thought it would take longer."

Lin Jianxia stared at him speechlessly:

"I've already massaged your shoulders, patted your back, and rubbed your legs. What else do you want?"

"Well... this is something I won with all my might," Jiang Yubai said shamelessly, "Master Lin, how about adding another hour?"

"Dream on! You're saying you're doing your best? I had no idea it was as hard as you're making it out to be."

Lin Jianxia pulled her own Wanwan over, and pouted,

"And you're having a good time, but Wanwan and I are exhausted."

Jiang Yubai looked up and saw that Lin Tingwan was still the same cute and quiet little girl, while Lin Jianxia, ​​although she was puffing up her cheeks, had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

He thought for a moment:

"How about... I give you both a massage? Consider it payment."

Lin Jianxia was about to leave with her younger sister when she heard this and froze on the spot:

".......ha?"

Jiang Yubai coughed lightly, then suddenly became interested and started talking nonsense in a serious manner.

“Esteemed guests,” he deliberately drawled, “you two have just finished exercising and are exhausted. It’s time for you to relax.”

"This is a family-inherited skill, guaranteed to relax muscles and improve circulation. If you're not satisfied, you don't have to pay—would you two do me the honor of booking an hour with me?"

Lin Tingwan blinked, her eyes brightening slightly.

Lin Jianxia looked him up and down a few times, then suddenly adopted a wary expression, crossed her arms, and said:

"Hey, Jiang Yubai, you're not planning to use some kind of massage as an excuse... to secretly take advantage of me and Wanwan, are you?"

Jiang Yu smiled in the white mist:

"No, you were just tapping and hitting me, and I haven't even said you took advantage of me yet."

He paused, then said irritably:

"Should I press it? If not, forget it. I find it too much trouble."

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Jianxia still pouted:

"No."

"want."

Lin Jianxia glanced at her younger sister's spiral notebook, while Lin Tingwan looked up at her older sister, and for a moment they both fell silent.

Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Yubai immediately burst into laughter:

"Okay, then stay for last night and see Xia. You go now and get some rest, you have class tomorrow."

Lin Jianxia's eyes widened upon hearing this:

"Hey, who said Wanwan was going to stay?"

Jiang Yubai ignored her completely and patted the bed next to him:

"Come over tonight, just lie here, I'll give you a massage~"

To Lin Jianxia's astonishment, her younger sister obediently climbed onto the bed, lay down with a thud, and looked like a little girl waiting to be served.

Jiang Yubai got into bed, but before he could figure out whether to massage his shoulders or his back first, another figure sat down opposite him.

He looked up and raised an eyebrow:

"Weren't you going back to rest? Why are you still here?"

Lin Jianxia sat on the other side, puffing out her cheeks, and glared at him:

"I'm not going back! Wanwan doesn't know, what if you do that to her while I'm not around?!"

"...like this or that?"

(A dangerous and murderous gaze)

"Alright, alright," Jiang Yu waved his hand, "Then tell me, can I massage your shoulders?"

Lin Jianxia sized him up for two seconds, then finally curled her lip in disapproval:

"can."

Jiang Yubai nodded and put his hand on the girl's shoulder.

Even through the thick pajamas, you can feel the soft contours beneath the fabric in your palm.

He composed himself, then gently pressed his fingertips down, slowly kneading along the shoulder line.

First, I massaged his shoulders, then I kneaded his neck and shoulders, using just the right amount of pressure.

Lin Tingwan was initially a little tense, but she gradually relaxed and slowly squinted her eyes.

"On your back?" Jiang Yubai asked.

"......Can."

Lin Jianxia watched from the side and responded sullenly.

With permission granted, Jiang Yubai moved his hand to her back, made a fist, and gently pressed up and down along both sides of her spine with his knuckles.

He didn't overstep any boundaries; he simply tapped a few stiff spots on his back and pressed them with his knuckles, and it looked quite professional.

Seeing his expression, Lin Jianxia's initially wary demeanor unconsciously relaxed a little.

As she looked at it, she couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You... you've studied it?"

"I just watched some videos online," Jiang Yubai said casually, tapping Lin Tingwan's back. "Where's your leg?"

"But...no!"

Lin Jianxia instinctively wanted to speak, but immediately realized what she was doing and glared at him.

"Jiang Yubai! You want to touch my legs too, huh!"

—Pah, she knew that scoundrel had ill intentions!

"After walking so much, a little tapping should make you feel better," Jiang Yu said, her face pale and her breath steady. "Fine, if you won't let me... what about my feet?"

Lin Jianxia was taken aback.

"Your feet should be alright now, right? I even put some medicine on them before," Jiang Yubai shrugged. "I learned a little something online, massaging the soles and backs of your feet feels quite nice, they're just a little itchy."

Lin Jianxia looked at him suspiciously for a few moments before saying uncertainly:

"Okay...okay...?"

"Okay~"

That swift action made Lin Jianxia instantly regret her decision.

Jiang Yubai casually pinched Lin Tingwan's cheek:

"Wanwan, get up and sit on the edge of the bed, okay? I'll massage your feet for you."

Lin Tingwan blinked and obediently sat up.

Jiang Yubai looked down and saw the girl's bare feet, which were placed together on the bed sheet. The insteps of her feet were so white that they were almost translucent, and her skin was as delicate as porcelain.

Her ankles were slender, her insteps had graceful lines, her toes were slightly curled, and her nails were round and clean, with a faint pink hue.

Let me state upfront that he has absolutely no strange or unusual quirks.

But this looks like enough to make you want to eat three bowls of rice...

Jiang Yubai composed himself and gently lifted the small foot in his hand.

A warm and delicate touch came from my palm, my ankles were slender, my arches were slightly cool, and my skin was as smooth as the finest jade.

Lin Tingwan instinctively shrank back, but he caught her in his large hand, which was already prepared.

Jiang Yubai didn't do much; he simply massaged the acupoints gently and evenly.

Lin Jianxia watched from the side and, seeing that he didn't do anything strange, she felt relieved.

She looked at her sister and was surprised to find that Wanwan's ears were slightly red, but her eyes were fixed on Jiang Yubai.

Lin Jianxia couldn't help but ask:

"Wanwan, are you comfortable?"

Lin Tingwan seemed to have just come to her senses and nodded to her older sister.

Seemingly feeling that wasn't enough, she picked up her notebook and wrote earnestly:

"It feels very comfortable."

Such high praise?

Lin Jianxia blinked and looked over again, only to see Jiang Yubai with his head down, his movements unusually serious.

Could it be... that I really misunderstood him?
