Sister, can I be a maid too?

As she walked closer to the bookshelf, she felt increasingly heartbroken.

When she carefully wrapped the novel in a cover and tucked it into the deepest part of the bookshelf, she could never have imagined that this day would come.

Not only do I have to take it out myself, but I also have to look at it with some big idiot!

How could such a thing happen in the world!

never mind....

I am Wanwan now, I am Wanwan now.........

The girl mentally hypnotized herself with this thought, and finally mustered up the courage to take out the novel with the cover titled "Unsolved Mysteries of the World".

She controlled her expression, picked up the book, turned around, and walked back to the bedside.

It's just reading a novel... what's the big deal...?

Anyway, she's Wanwan now!

The ridicule is directed at Lin Jianxia, ​​and has nothing to do with me, Lin Tingwan!

Continuing to hypnotize herself like this, Lin Jianxia was preparing to complete the entire journey with this mindset when she saw Jiang Yubai place a cushion on her lap.

—What's this for?

Just as I was wondering about it, I saw him pat the cushion again, his tone completely matter-of-fact:

"Come."

Lin Jianxia: "........."

She was practically fainting.

What do you mean by reading a novel while sitting on Jiang Yu's white lap?!

Lin! Listen! Evening!

What are you doing?!

It seems that the blows she has suffered in succession have been too frequent, and Lin Jianxia has actually developed some resistance. This time, she did not stand there frozen.

After a very difficult internal struggle, she ultimately decided to continue pretending.

There's no way around it; the sunk costs are just too high.

If it gets discovered now, I'll probably spend the rest of my life being mocked by some bastard who has something on me...

She could already picture Jiang Yubai's smug expression:

"Xia, you don't want your sister to know about you either..."

Lin Jianxia didn't dare to think any further. She took a deep breath without making a sound, turned around, and sat down gently.

The expected hard, stiff feel did not appear. First, there was the soft cushioning of the pillow, followed by the warm touch transmitted through the fabric.

As soon as I sat down, a pair of warm arms wrapped around my waist.

With a little effort, she was pulled backward and fell steadily against Jiang Yubai's firm chest.

Surrounded by the familiar scent of mugwort, Lin Jianxia felt her heart pounding like a drum, and her face burning hot.

The only slight consolation was that, in this position, Jiang Yubai behind her couldn't see her flushed face.

Barely... we can still manage to hide it.

But just as her thoughts returned to her senses, Lin Jianxia was about to open the novel when she suddenly froze in place.

Because... she suddenly discovered a very fatal flaw.

I'm not Wanwan, how would I know which page those two idiots were on yesterday?!

This is all the end of us!

Would it be helpful to say you have amnesia? I need an answer urgently!

Lin Jianxia managed to maintain a semblance of composure on her face, but her mind was in complete turmoil.

If she could travel back ten minutes, she would definitely smash this idiot's head in the chest and then tell him with righteous indignation:

'Wanwan isn't coming today, she's going home to sleep!'

Instead of going through all that, sitting on his lap being held, and watching as he's about to expose you!!

Just as Lin Jianxia was pacing anxiously, her worst fears came true: Jiang Yubai's strange voice came from behind her.

"Wanwan? Why aren't you watching anymore?"

Chapter 229 Your sister scared me, so let your younger sister pay for it!

What should we do? What should we do?

Lin Jianxia was extremely anxious, but she could only pretend to be calm and reached out to open the novel on her lap.

She slowly turned the pages, one by one, when suddenly she stopped.

Upon closer inspection, a small bookmark was found placed somewhere near the front of the book.

She has read this book several times, and usually only flips through it occasionally.

Perhaps knowing this, or perhaps not thinking that much about it at all, Lin Tingwan even used a bookmark, probably thinking that her older sister wouldn't read it carefully.

Regardless of the reason, this little bookmark saved Lin Jianxia's life at this moment.

She flipped to the bookmarked spot, pretending to be looking down at the book, but actually held her breath, anxiously waiting for the reaction behind her.

Only when Jiang Yubai didn't raise any questions and everything seemed normal did she breathe a long sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed.

Almost, almost...

Luckily, I was quick-witted~

What she didn't know was that Jiang Yubai wasn't looking at the novel on her lap at all, but was looking at her with a hint of suspicion.

Jiang Yubai did have some doubts.

The Lin Tingwan who came in today seems perfectly normal, but there's something just off about her that I can't quite put my finger on.

Seems a bit...dazed?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but begin to have doubts.

After all, this wasn't the first time Lin Jianxia had impersonated Lin Tingwan. It seemed like these two just liked playing this kind of game. I wonder if twins do this, or if it's just the two of them.

But when Jiang Yubai thought about how clingy this guy was when he came in, he became a little uncertain again.

You're telling me this is Lin Jianxia?

If this were really Lin Jianxia, ​​she would have started yelling when she was hugged at the beginning.

Even if I tolerated that hug, after that, let alone sitting on my lap, she'd probably start glaring at me and punching me when I call her, right?

Then she'd say things like, "Jiang Yubai, is this how you usually treat my sister?!" or "She even sat on your lap, have you no shame?!"—things I couldn't understand.

Yes, that fits the character perfectly.

So the one in my arms must be my own adorable Wanwan!

"..."

"..."

But......

What if?

What if some idiot is really that cunning, enduring hardship and humiliation without ever saying a word?

It's said that the more you suppress your emotions, the stronger they will erupt. If this really is Lin Jianxia... Jiang Yubai couldn't even imagine how miserable he would be if the tables were turned.

Two punches from the cat definitely won't solve the problem.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but shudder.

Although it was unlikely, he felt it was better to test the waters just in case.

How exactly should we probe...?

By the way, isn't this guy extremely averse to physical contact? Every time I pinch his cheek, he hisses like a kitten whose tail has been stepped on.

That makes things easier.

Jiang Yubai had a plan in mind. He subtly tightened his arms around the girl's waist, bringing her closer to him, and at the same time lowered his head, gently resting his chin on her slender shoulder.

In an instant, the distance between their cheeks was only a few centimeters.

A few strands of the girl's soft hair brushed against his face, and their breathing could be clearly heard.

It wasn't that Jiang Yubai was deliberately taking advantage of others.

All I can say is that he always sits in this position whenever Lin Tingwan sits on his lap to read.

It feels so good, so comfortable.

Just because Lin Tingwan can accept it doesn't mean that the little hedgehog can.

Jiang Yubai pretended to be engrossed in reading a novel, but secretly glanced at the girl beside him out of the corner of his eye.

Time passed by, but Lin Tingwan beside him was breathing steadily, her eyes quietly gazing at the pages of the book on her lap, as if she hadn't noticed his affectionate gesture at all.

Seeing his completely accepting expression, Jiang Yubai finally felt completely relieved.

Thank goodness, it seems it really is Wanwan.

If Xia Jianjian can tolerate even this, then he might as well just accept it.

Since you're already like this, I'll just take it.

Impossible, impossible~

That's really scary...

I was so scared I almost broke out in a cold sweat.

Jiang Yubai smacked his lips, unable to resist, and reached out to knead and pinch the girl's soft cheeks.

Seemingly surprised by his sudden action, 'Lin Tingwan' tilted her head up in confusion.
