Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Is this the kind my sister drinks?"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized.

In the past, Lin Tingwan had basically no symptoms during her menstrual period, at most she would feel a little sleepy and weak.

Aside from wanting to occupy his study bed to rest, she basically didn't need any special care, and she never even drank brown sugar water.

So... today is the first time?

“Yes,” Jiang Yubai nodded, then scooped up another spoonful and handed it over. “When your sister was feeling unwell before, I always made this kind of brown sugar water. It should be quite effective.”

Lin Tingwan obediently opened her mouth and drank it, but her gaze lingered on his hand holding the spoon for a moment, her eyes showing a thoughtful look.

Jiang Yubai naturally didn't notice her little action, and patiently fed her the brown sugar water from the thermos cup spoonful by spoonful.

Lin Tingwan was much more determined than her older sister, who would make a face and say she couldn't drink anymore after only half a cup. She quietly drank the whole cup of brown sugar water to the bottom.

After finishing the drink, he even licked his lips as if he wanted more.

Jiang Yubai was about to ask the girl if she was feeling better when he saw her lower her head first, pick up a pen and quickly write a few words on the notebook, then hold it up to his chest.

"Where's my sister?"

"Your sister's period coincided with yours."

Thinking of that guy with the long face, Jiang Yubai chuckled:

"But this time it should be okay. I just gave her brown sugar water and medicine, and she should be sleeping now."

"Is my sister in the study?"

"Yeah, he was planning to make me breakfast this morning, but I made him lie down in the study."

Jiang Yubai finished his explanation casually, only to find Lin Tingwan staring at him with wide eyes, not blinking.

He hesitated for a moment and uttered an "uh":

"...Wanwan?"

Chapter 241 Where is Wanwan?

With a soft click, the door was gently pulled open halfway.

Jiang Yubai peeked over and saw Lin Jianxia still leaning against the headboard, holding two textbooks and a pen in her hand, with a notebook spread out next to her, seemingly reviewing her lessons.

He pushed open the door and went in, asking with some curiosity:

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

He called him once but got no response. When he called him a second time, Lin Jianxia seemed to snap out of her reverie and looked at him with a somewhat blank expression.

Are you reviewing? You're more like daydreaming.

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched, and he asked again:

Why aren't you resting?

"I can't sleep, and lying down is uncomfortable, so I'll just review a bit to distract myself." Lin Jianxia wrinkled her nose and looked behind him. "Why are you here again? Where's Wanwan?"

"Wanwan....."

For some reason, Jiang Yubai hesitated before answering, his eyes darting around.

"I'm resting in bed."

"Oh."

Lin Jianxia nodded, oblivious to the slight awkwardness in his tone, and pressed on:

"By the way, is Wanwan alright? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing. I had some brown sugar water for breakfast and I've already taken my medicine." Jiang Yubai nodded. "It wasn't as serious as yours to begin with, and I'm resting in bed right now."

Why keep emphasizing lying in bed and resting...?

A slight doubt crossed Lin Jianxia's mind, but upon learning that her younger sister was alright, she was relieved and didn't think about it anymore.

She glanced at Jiang Yubai standing by the bed, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"So you're... alright now?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment:

"Me? Not for now, what's wrong?"

“Oh,” Lin Jianxia pointed to the empty water glass on the bedside table and ordered matter-of-factly, “Then pour me a glass of water, warm water, not too hot.”

Jiang Yubai took the water glass as instructed, went to the living room to get a glass of warm water, and handed it back to her.

Lin Jianxia took the cup, took two small sips, and then handed it back.

"Put it here."

Jiang Yubai: ?

No, you can easily put it away yourself, but you won't put it away yourself, so you want me to put it away for you, right?

With the patient's well-being as the top priority, he smacked his lips, took the cup, and placed it on the bedside table.

“Oh, right,” Lin Jianxia pointed to the floor under the bed, “I dropped my pen. Could you pick it up for me? It should be down there.”

Jiang Yubai bent down, picked up the pen that had rolled out from under the bed, and put it back beside her.

"My shoulders are a little sore, could you give them a massage?"

Lin Jianxia moved her neck and continued to give instructions.

Jiang Yubai paused for a moment, then reached out and gently pinched her shoulder twice.

"A little to the left...yes, right there, a little more pressure...oh, gently, gently!"

After the massage service ended, Lin Jianxia shrugged her shoulders again:

"Also, I'm a little cold, and the blanket seems to have slipped down. Could you pull it up for me?"

Jiang Yubai took a deep breath, helped her pull the blanket back up to her waist, and carefully tucked it in.

"Oh right, Jiang Yubai, I..."

"Lin Jianxia!"

Jiang Yubai finally couldn't hold back any longer, plopped down on the edge of the bed, and glared at her irritably:

"Are you never going to stop? Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Lin Jianxia was startled by his suddenly raised voice, and shrank her neck, but then raised her small face with a righteous air:

"I...I'm just not feeling well!"

Jiang Yubai looked at her as if she were an alien.

Wait, what's wrong with this little hedgehog today? Did it take the wrong medicine?

Just a moment ago, it seemed like it would get angry and bite if you looked at it too much, but after I went next door to take care of Wanwan for a while, it became a completely different person when I came back.

Although he used to whine and ask me to do this and that when he wasn't feeling well, it's never been this...

Isn't that blatant?

Besides, this doesn't look like ordering someone around at all; it's more like...acting cute?

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment when the thought came to him.

He simply couldn't associate the words "Lin Jianxia" with "acting coquettishly".

Lin Jianxia naturally had no idea what this guy was thinking. She just bit her lower lip and looked away.

She didn't know what was wrong with her.

Since Jiang Yubai went out to take care of Wanwan, she stayed alone in her room, but she couldn't concentrate.

While reading, I couldn't help but prick up my ears to listen to the noises next door. It felt like a little cat was scratching at my heart, and I couldn't calm down at all.

I was the one who asked him to take care of my younger sister... but I just can't help feeling a little bothered by it.

She couldn't quite put her finger on what it was that bothered her, but she felt a sense of emptiness and inexplicable irritability.

So only after Jiang Yubai sat back down did she... only then...

While her mind was still a jumble of thoughts, unable to figure out what was causing this sudden, awkward feeling, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her forehead.

Lin Jianxia blinked and turned her head to look, only to see that a certain big jerk had somehow gotten close to her and was placing his hand on her forehead with a suspicious look on his face.

"You don't have a fever?"

Jiang Yubai muttered to himself in surprise.

The next second, his hand was slapped away.

Lin Jianxia's angry voice also reached my ears:

"Who has a fever! You're the one with a fever! Why are you touching my forehead for no reason!"

After all that slapping and shouting, Jiang Yubai finally found the familiar rhythm and withdrew his hand with a look of 'this is right'.

That's right, this is the little hedgehog he knows well, it explodes at the slightest touch and can't be touched.

As he was thinking, he noticed that Lin Jianxia's anger hadn't completely faded, but her brows suddenly furrowed again.

The girl's face fell, and she unconsciously covered her lower abdomen with one hand. Her stomach was probably a little sore from the earlier movements.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yu asked the question knowingly.

"My stomach hurts." Lin Jianxia's voice became weak again. "It's all your fault..."

No, is this my fault too?

As he watched, a mischievous thought popped into his head, so he reached out and pinched the boy's cheek.

Lin Jianxia was feeling unwell and was caught off guard by the sneak attack. She forced a glare at him, but managed to keep it in check.

What are you doing with your claws?

"Let me massage your face."
