Sister, can I be a maid too?

Page 286

Uh... that's probably unlikely.

Most likely, she'd slap his hand away and then give him a piece of her mind in a huff.

...Why don't you give it a try?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Jiang Yubai quickly shook his head, banishing it from his thoughts.

Oh no, ever since I gave Jianjian's Xia a hug last night, all sorts of dangerous thoughts have been popping into my head.

Calm down, calm down.

He snapped out of his daze and looked down again, only to find that Lin Tingwan had woken up at some point and was staring at him with her big, watery eyes.

But he was just spacing out, yet his hands never stopped moving. This girl probably didn't know how long he had been kneading her like that.

Jiang Yubai quickly stopped what he was doing and coughed awkwardly.

"Um... wake up, or you'll be late for school."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan didn't shrink back into the blankets like she did last night. Instead, she obediently nodded her head and slowly sat up.

The girl stretched lazily, and the blanket slipped down a bit with her movement. Her loose pajamas couldn't hide her exquisite figure, which looked especially soft and beautiful in the morning light.

Jiang Yu was stunned for a moment, then awkwardly looked away.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly saw a familiar spiral notebook being handed to me.

He looked down and saw a line of neat, small characters:

"Thank you, Jiang Yubai."

"Why are you thanking me?" Jiang Yubai blinked.

"My sister's mood has improved."

"Oh... I didn't really do anything," Jiang Yubai suddenly realized something, "Wait, Wanwan, how did you know?"

How come he remembers that this guy was already asleep last night?

Lin Tingwan blinked and added another sentence to the notebook:

"My sister came to wake me up yesterday, and she was in a very good mood."

"Oh," Jiang Yubai nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized, "No, so you were pretending to be asleep last night, right?"

"Jiang Yubai's bed is very comfortable."

Jiang Yubai looked up and saw Lin Tingwan holding up a notebook. Although her face was as serious as ever, it inexplicably exuded a sense of self-righteousness.

“…Fine, fine,” Jiang Yubai said helplessly, “Get up quickly, your clothes are still next door, right?”

Lin Tingwan put away her notebook and just sat up when she heard a soft "click" as the doorknob turned.

Lin Jianxia, dressed in her school uniform, slowly walked in, rubbing her eyes, her voice still a little sleepy:

"Wanwan, wake up... If you don't get up, the big bad wolf will come and get you..."

She raised her little head and, upon seeing the scene inside the room, suddenly paused in surprise:

"You... what are you doing here?"

“I’ll wake people up,” Jiang Yubai squinted. “Let’s put that aside for now… what does ‘if you don’t get up, the big bad wolf will come and get you’ mean?

Lin Jianxia blinked, her gaze suddenly drifting:

"N-nothing... I was just kidding."

How come this big bad wolf got up earlier than her...?

Under Jiang Yubai's "Do you think I believe you?" gaze, Lin Jianxia quickly stepped forward, pulled her younger sister who had just stood up, and walked out.

"I'm taking Wanwan home now, I'll come back later!"

Watching this guy flee out the door as if he were running away, Jiang Yubai's lips twitched.

No, is this the image you have of me?

The big bad wolf has come...

He shook his head, changed his clothes, brushed his teeth, and washed up. It took him a while to tidy up before he left the bedroom.

Lin Tingwan, who had changed into her school uniform, was sitting quietly at the dining table. Perhaps because it was cold today, she was still wearing the scarf that Lin Jianxia had knitted for her.

Jiang Yubai pointed to the kitchen and winked at her.

Seemingly understanding his meaning, Lin Tingwan nodded gently.

Jiang Yubai gave her an 'OK' sign, tiptoed open the kitchen door, and peeked inside—

Just then, Lin Jianxia turned around and gave him a look that seemed to be directed at an idiot.

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

"Hey, what are you doing sneaking around like that?" Lin Jianxia complained. "You don't think I can't hear you pulling the kitchen door like that, do you?"

"...Why aren't you cooking?" Jiang Yubai asked somewhat awkwardly. "I thought you had already started."

"I just got here, I haven't even started yet... Besides, you can hear me cooking."

Lin Jianxia pouted, tied her apron, and then subconsciously reached for the ends of her hair.

But as soon as her fingertips touched the high ponytail, her movements suddenly paused.

She glanced at Jiang Yubai discreetly, then naturally lowered her hand:

"Why are you going into the kitchen? Are you hungry?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment:

"No... I just thought it was unusual for me to get up so early, so I came in to see what you were planning to cook."

"What would you like to eat?"

Jiang Yubai had been waiting for this question, and didn't hesitate for a second:

"Spicy Cheese Chicken Pancake!"

"Pah, I knew it," Lin Jianxia said without any surprise. "Look, the ingredients have been prepared for a long time."

She skillfully heated the oil in the wok, then took the chicken pieces that had been placed aside and slid them into the wok. With a sizzle, the aroma quickly filled the air.

Jiang Yubai stood next to her, watching with great interest.

Lin Jianxia was able to concentrate on cooking at first, but the gaze of the guy beside her seemed to be burning her cheeks.

She would steal a glance every now and then, but finally couldn't resist and glared at her.

What are you still doing here?

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, looking completely bewildered:

"No, I...can't I just take a look?"

"no!"

Lin Jianxia's face hardened, and she reached out to push him out.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're stopping me from making breakfast!"

Jiang Yubai was still a little dazed when he was pushed out of the kitchen.

No, am I bothering you by just standing here and watching?

He glanced at the closed kitchen door behind him, then at Lin Tingwan who was looking over curiously, and an ellipsis flashed through his mind.

Fine, fine, I won't watch it then. As long as I have something to eat, that's fine.

He obediently sat down next to Lin Tingwan, also adopting a look of eager anticipation.

This feeling of sitting still and waiting for food...

Why do I feel a little good about it?

.....

After a delicious breakfast, the three of them set off for school.

Just as he settled down in the classroom, Jiang Yubai seemed to suddenly remember something and subconsciously glanced at the girl next to him.

The one wearing the scarf is definitely Wanwan.

According to the saying that summer comes on the 1st and 3rd and evening on the 2nd and 4th, it should indeed be Lin Tingwan's turn today.

The thought flashed through his mind, but Jiang Yubai didn't pay much attention to it. He packed his things, took out his Chinese textbook, and prepared to review the ancient poems again.

I had only read a couple of lines when someone gently pulled the draft notebook from the corner of the table.

Jiang Yubai looked up from his textbook and turned his head to look. He saw Lin Tingwan with her head down, writing something on a draft paper. After finishing, she gently pushed it back.

"How is my sister?"

Jiang Yu blinked and wrote a reply on the draft:

"Lin Jianxia... seems to be fine, she seems to be in a pretty good mood."

He paused, a sudden tightness gripping his heart, and continued writing:

"Didn't you just say this morning that she seemed happy? Did you sense something else?"

Lin Tingwan replied very quickly:

No, I was just asking.

What did Jiang Yubai and my sister talk about last night?

What did you say?

Actually, they didn't say anything, right?

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and wrote:

"It's nothing. Xia still wouldn't tell me, so I didn't really say anything. I just gave her a hug... but it seems to have worked."
