Sister, can I be a maid too?

It means, 'Quickly, help me see what's wrong with your sister.'

Lin Tingwan blinked, looked at him and then at her sister, as if she understood what he meant.

The girl lowered her head and gave him the last shrimp on her plate.

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

—Wanwan, I asked you to help analyze your sister's feelings, not to imitate her and serve me food!

—You're making me sound like a bully who's picking on you two sisters... even trying to steal your food...

Jiang Yubai was both amused and exasperated. He reached out and picked up a chicken leg, placing it back into Lin Tingwan's bowl.

He paused, glanced at someone discreetly, then picked up the last chicken leg and slowly placed it on Lin Jianxia's plate.

Lin Jianxia paused in her eating, stared at the extra chicken leg in her bowl, and blinked.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Yubai, only to see him eating his meal with a straight face, as if nothing had happened.

Pah, you idiot...

Thinking this to herself, Lin Jianxia felt a strange sense of joy.

The girl's lips curled slightly as she picked up a chicken leg and took a small bite.

...It's delicious.

Jiang Yubai, who was standing to the side, secretly glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that she had eaten, he then lowered his head and ate his rice with peace of mind.

Yes, the alert level has been downgraded to yellow.

It shouldn't have gotten to that point before; it seems like they're just having a little spat.

He felt somewhat relieved, and as he ate, a voice suddenly reached his ears:

"Hey, Jiang Yubai."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yubai replied casually.

"How...are you planning to fill out your college application?"

volunteer?

Jiang Yubai put down his chopsticks and turned to look.

But when Lin Jianxia met his gaze, her eyes couldn't help but dart away to the side, and she urged him in a low voice, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed:

"Hurry up and answer the question, why are you looking at me?"

Jiang Yubai didn't dare say "Didn't we just say that?" out loud, and repeated it instead:

"Actually, I don't really care where I go to university, it's just that my parents probably don't want me to go to a university outside the province."

He paused, then said helplessly:

"But in the whole province, only Linda University stands out from the crowd. The rest of the schools are pretty much the same anyway."

"I haven't decided on the specifics yet, but I'll basically choose from those few schools."

Lin Jianxia wasn't particularly surprised by these words.

She pursed her lips and said:

"So... what about Linda University?"

"Linda? Linda is great, but I don't think my score is reliable."

Jiang Yubai casually said,

"Since I have to fill out eighty college applications anyway, I'll definitely put Linda University on the first few. I'll apply for several majors, just in case I get accepted."

"After that, we'll discuss it later, like which school is closer and such."

"Anyway, it's still early, we'll talk about it later."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia's mood did not improve; instead, it sank even lower.

Yes.

Their current grades, to say the least, aren't exactly outstanding; at best, they barely meet the requirements for Linda University.

To say that admission is a sure thing is definitely not an option.

But to say there's absolutely no hope... it seems there's a slight possibility.

So when Jiang Yubai finally fills out his college application, it's highly likely that, just as he said earlier, his first choice will be Linda University, and then he'll fill in a few more as backups: Ningbo University, Linda University of Technology, and Linda University of Work.

What about yourself?

If I wanted to go to the same school as him...

Should we also put Linda University at the very beginning?

What if he passes the exam but I don't, or I pass but he fails?

But what if you don't fill in Linda University and directly choose Ningbo University, Linda Electric Power University, or Linda Industrial University, which you are guaranteed to be admitted to?

What if he performs exceptionally well and goes to Linda University alone?

After much consideration, the safest approach might be for neither of them to list Linyi University as their first choice, and instead select a school they are almost certain to get into.

But that's simply impossible.

If you clearly have the opportunity to get into a better school, should you give up applying just because you're afraid you won't be able to attend the same university?

How is that any different from those young couples who deliberately answer fewer difficult questions on the college entrance exam just to stay together? It's both childish and irresponsible!

Even if Jiang Yubai himself was willing, Lin Jianxia would absolutely not allow him to do so.

You might even have to use your cat-like fists to punch him on the forehead three times to get the water out first.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips.

She felt her mind was a jumbled mess, like a ball of yarn.

As I rummaged through the food on my plate, I suddenly realized... even the chicken leg that Jiang Yubai had picked up for me didn't taste good anymore.

Jiang Yubai had been paying attention to this girl's emotions for a long time.

He was now pretty sure that this guy's unhappiness... seemed to have started when he handed out that application guide that morning.

But looking at her, she didn't seem worried about filling out her college application; rather, she seemed to be...

Jiang Yubai suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"Hey, Jianxia?"

"what?"

Lin Jianxia poked at the chicken leg in her bowl listlessly.

But the words she heard the next second made her freeze.

Are you... worried that you won't go to the same school as me?

Lin Jianxia was stunned for several seconds before her eyes widened suddenly:

"No, no! I'm just afraid... afraid that Wanwan won't go to the same school as you!"

"Really?"

Jiang Yubai didn't believe her at all, looking at her with a skeptical gaze.

"You might as well say you're worried that you and Wanwan won't go to the same school."

He turned his head to look at Lin Tingwan beside him.

The girl had finished eating sometime earlier and was tilting her head to look at him, looking adorable.

"I'm not worried about Wanwan at all!" Lin Jianxia explained with a blush on her face. "Although Wanwan always does a little better than me in some subjects in every exam, our total scores are basically the same!"

"real or fake?"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback.

"Really."

Lin Jianxia listed examples on her fingers.

"For example, if I scored a few points higher than her in Chinese, she would score a few points higher than me in math. In the end, the total score was always four or five points different, and at most it was more than ten points different."

"So as long as I apply to the same schools as Wanwan, there's a 99% chance we'll get into the same school."

Jiang Yubai was stunned.

No, what kind of scientific principle is this? It sounds like metaphysics.

Could it be that the telepathic connection between twins can be used in this way?

Jiang Yubai's mind went blank for a moment, but then he realized what was happening:

"Wait, I wasn't asking Wanwan, I was asking... are you worried that we're not in the same school?"

"No."

"Really?"

"No!"

Chapter 211 Jiang Yubai, are you reluctant to part with me and Wanwan?

Looking at her younger sister, who was fast asleep beside her, Lin Jianxia sighed silently.

She turned her head and, through the gap in the curtains, could just catch a glimpse of the night sky outside the window.

It was a rare beautiful day; the moonlight was bright, and the stars twinkled—it was absolutely gorgeous.

After gazing at the full moon for a while, Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and looked away.

Even without looking at my phone, I know it's past midnight.

But she wasn't sleepy at all.

The girl pursed her lips, and Jiang Yubai's words from earlier that day resurfaced in her mind—

"If you're not in the same school... just keep in touch. You can always meet up by phone."
