Sister, can I be a maid too?

"You scared me to death just now, you know?" Jiang Yubai said lazily. "I thought it was your sister pretending to be you again."

Lin Tingwan blinked, but didn't move.

"It's okay, your sister scared me, so let your younger sister take her place~"

Jiang Yubai chuckled and rubbed it a couple of times before finally withdrawing his hand, satisfied.

Lin Tingwan stopped reading and just silently gazed at him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yubai said helplessly. "I'm telling you, your sister is like a little hedgehog. What she says and what she thinks and does are completely contradictory."

Lin Tingwan still showed no intention of taking out her notebook.

The girl tilted her head and looked at him with her clear eyes, looking like a well-behaved child listening attentively to a lecture.

"Wanwan, you think so too, right? Your sister is really awkward."

Jiang Yubai got more and more excited as he spoke, and said with a smile:

“This guy keeps saying ‘stay away from me’ and ‘don’t touch me,’ but if you really ignore him, he’ll come back to you on his own soon enough and wander around you like nothing’s wrong.”

"For example, even though she cares about you to death, she'll still tease you a little with her words... Luckily, Wanwan, your personality isn't like your sister's."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yubai felt a chill run down his spine and a sudden coldness on his back.

What the hell?

He looked up warily and glanced left and right.

There was complete silence outside the door.

After thinking for a while and confirming that he hadn't heard the sound of a little hedgehog approaching, Jiang Yubai finally relaxed.

He touched the goosebumps on his arm that were slowly fading, but didn't think much of it, assuming it was just the cool night breeze.

"It's only because I'm patient, otherwise I would have been driven crazy by this guy," Jiang Yubai concluded. "But as awkward as he is, he's actually quite cute..."

That's the truth.

Although I often get so angry at this girl that I want to grab her and spank her, I have to say...

Seeing Xia's sulky expression was actually quite cute.

After a pause, Jiang Yubai glanced at the alarm clock on the desk and said:

"Alright, that's enough for today. You're late; if we keep chatting, your sister might fall asleep in the study waiting for you."

He gently scratched the girl's side, gesturing for her to stand up:

"Hey, go call your sister back, I need to go back to sleep too."

The 'Lin Tingwan' in his arms obediently stood up, but as soon as she stood up straight, her legs suddenly gave way and she stumbled forward.

Jiang Yu quickly caught the idiot and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"What's wrong? Are your legs numb from sitting?"

How can someone fall on flat ground out of nowhere?

But then Lin Tingwan squeezed her legs together, turned her head away, shook her head slightly to indicate that she was alright, and then turned and left the room in a hurry.

—Hey, wait for me, I'll go with you…

Before Jiang Yu could even utter a word, he had already disappeared outside the door.

He stared at the empty doorway, a twitch at the corner of his mouth, and followed after them.

As soon as I stepped into my room, I saw the two sisters walking out of the study side by side.

Jiang Yubai glanced at her subconsciously, only to see his younger sister blinking her eyes, looking very well-behaved.

His sister frowned and glared at him, meeting his gaze with annoyance.

"What are you looking at?"

...Why are they acting like they've swallowed gunpowder?

However, Jiang Yubai understood.

It was getting late, and he was talking to Wanwan while she could only wait miserably in the study. It was normal for her to be a little annoyed.

"Take a second look, take a second look..."

As he said this, he instinctively reached out to pat the little guy's head to comfort him.

But before his hand was even halfway out, it was slapped away with a 'pia'.

...?

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched:

"Sister, what have I done to offend you this time?"

Seemingly realizing that her reaction was a bit too extreme, Lin Jianxia choked for a moment.

She bit her lower lip, then suddenly changed the subject, uttering a soft, wistful remark:

"Jiang Yubai, I have a question for you."

"Uh, you asked." Jiang Yubai was a little confused.

"When you used to chat with Wanwan in the room, did you ever secretly say bad things about me?"

Lin Jianxia spoke in a low, melancholy tone.

“How could that be?” Jiang Yubai replied seriously, his answer flawless. “Wanwan and I were just chatting casually. Why would I say bad things about you?”

Lin Tingwan stood to the side, glanced at Jiang Yubai, then at her own sister, blinked, and remained silent.

After saying this, Jiang Yubai wanted to ask Lin Tingwan for confirmation, but heard Lin Jianxia give a light "heh":

"That's good... Let's go last night."

After saying that, she gave Jiang Yubai a warning glare before pulling her sister along and walking into the house.

“Wait, wait, wait,” Jiang Yubai quickly interjected, “I have something to say to Wanwan.”

Lin Jianxia suddenly froze on the spot, her tone becoming somewhat unnatural:

"What, what is there to say? We can talk about it later."

"It's just a matter of two sentences... By the way, what are you doing standing here? Aren't you going to wash up?"

"Can't I listen? What if you try to kidnap Wanwan?!"

Divine gold.....

Jiang Yubai glanced at her speechlessly, ignoring her, and turned to Lin Tingwan, saying:

"Wanwan, we don't have enough time today, let's make up for it tomorrow or the day after."

Lin Tingwan blinked and pulled a small notebook out of her pocket:

"it is good."

Lin Jianxia breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly pulled Lin Tingwan inside.

"Wanwan and I are heading back now. Goodbye!"

"Okay, go to sleep early, goodnight, goodnight."

Lin Tingwan waved to Jiang Yubai. Lin Jianxia paused, turned her head away, and hummed softly.

".....Good night."

After saying that, he took his younger sister and slipped back to their room.

—This is so weird.....

Jiang Yubai shook his head, yawned, and followed him back to his room.

.......

.......

late at night.

After washing up, the two sisters changed into their pajamas and went to bed.

Lin Jianxia was about to turn off the light when she saw her daughter Wanwan hugging her teddy bear and staring at her intently.

"Wanwan?" She blinked. "What's wrong?"

Lin Tingwan thought for a moment, then took out a spiral notebook from under her pillow, wrote something down, and held it up in front of her:

"Why does my sister take so long tonight?"

"Why did it take so long...?" Lin Jianxia's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, and she coughed lightly. "I just chatted with Jiang Yu for a few minutes."

Lin Tingwan nodded and wrote something else.

Goodnight, sister.

Lin Jianxia breathed a slight sigh of relief, her tone softening:

Goodnight...

Lin Tingwan put the paper and pen back under her pillow and lay down obediently on the bed.

Lin Jianxia turned off the light, tucked the blanket around her younger sister, and lay down next to her.

She let out a long sigh and slowly closed her eyes.

In the quiet darkness, Lin Tingwan did not fall asleep immediately.

She quietly turned her head to look in the direction where her older sister was lying, her eyes flickering slightly in the night, as if deep in thought.

Chapter 230 Lin Jianxia, ​​Bearing Humiliation and Hardship

Another day after school.

Jiang Yubai sighed deeply and slammed himself onto the sofa with a thud.

Lin Tingwan put down her schoolbag and sat quietly beside him.

Meanwhile, Lin Jianxia casually put down her schoolbag and walked towards the kitchen, muttering to herself:
