Sister, can I be a maid too?

That can't be...

He composed himself and spoke softly:

"See....."

"Shut up."

He had barely uttered a syllable when he heard Lin Jianxia's muffled voice, as if it were being squeezed out from under the fabric.

"not me......"

"Don't speak."

"At once......."

I told you to shut up!

Every time Jiang Yubai opened his mouth, Lin Jianxia beside him would start shouting like a startled mimosa, giving him no chance to finish speaking.

What the heck is going on...?

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

But after things quieted down, strange noises kept coming from Lin Jianxia's side.

It sounds like a pig's grunt, and also like a kitten's purring when it's being petted comfortably.

To be honest... it's quite something to worry about.

Just as Jiang Yubai was about to try speaking again, the whimpering suddenly stopped.

Lin Jianxia stood up abruptly, her voice drifting over like a feather:

"I'm going to sleep now... Goodnight."

"Good night....."

Jiang Yubai subconsciously replied, but only saw the girl slowly turn around, one step, two steps... and then suddenly quicken her pace, like a startled little rabbit, and quickly slip into the house.

He stared at the half-closed door for a long time before slowly turning back.

It seemed that he was all alone on the steps in front of the old house again.

Jiang Yubai sat there somewhat blankly, the night breeze brushing against his cheeks.

Only now did he belatedly realize what was happening...

Lin Jianxia just kissed him.

My heart started pounding belatedly, and my thoughts slowly began to wander.

No, are you really close?

This was my first kiss! You just kissed me like that without saying a word. Aren't you going to give me any compensation or something?

And after the kiss, he wouldn't let me say a word...

Besides, it's too short; I didn't feel anything at all.

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but think this.

Although kissing felt good, the time... was definitely too short.

And although it was called a 'kiss,' the little hedgehog clearly didn't understand anything; it simply touched its pink lips together.

...I kind of regret it now, I should have opened my eyes.

Who knew this girl would run away as soon as she was touched? No one could react in time...

So you covered my mouth to stop me from confessing my feelings, but then you kissed me first, didn't you?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai, whose thoughts had already run wild, couldn't help but conjure up this image in his mind:

He spoke hesitantly:

What is our relationship?

Lin Jianxia, ​​her ears red, shouted fiercely:

'Don't talk, keep kissing!'

Then, in a flash, she brought her little face close, and began shamelessly...

A series of chaotic thoughts raced through Jiang Yubai's mind, and he felt his heart pounding wildly.

Her fingertips touched her lips again, where a trace of the warmth of a certain little hedgehog still lingered.

The night breeze suddenly seemed to get hot.

Jiang Yubai patted his slightly flushed cheeks and took a few deep breaths before his heart, which had been pounding like a drum, slowly calmed down.

But as he sat there, he suddenly felt a little dazed.

The bright moonlight still quietly filled the courtyard, the leaves rustled, and the cicadas chirped tirelessly.

Everything seemed the same as before.

What just happened... could it have been a hallucination of his own?

Could it be that Xia Jian and Wan Ting have been sleeping obediently in the house all along, and have never actually come out, and it was all just an illusion he imagined while sitting on the steps?

...That can't be right.

If this were in a novel, the author would be cursed by angry readers.

But thinking about this, Jiang Yubai himself became somewhat uncertain.

He took one last look at the moonlit courtyard, then stood up and tiptoed back to the sisters' room.

Pushing open the door, the room was dimly lit, with only the fan creaking and humming beside the bed.

Jiang Yubai did not immediately lie back down on his bamboo mat, but stood by the bed and peeked out.

The two sisters lay side by side on the bed, covered with the same thin blanket, their breathing even and deep.

Lin Jianxia tilted her head back, her wisps of hair falling over her forehead, her sleeping face peaceful.

Lin Tingwan was curled up on the other side, holding a pillow in her arms.

Everything was the same as usual.

It seems like it never actually happened.

Could it really be just my imagination?

Jiang Yubai composed himself and looked carefully in the moonlight streaming in through the window.

Lin Tingwan was breathing evenly and was fast asleep, hugging her pillow.

...This girl is probably used to sleeping with the doll I gave her, and she didn't bring it back this time, so she has to make do with a pillow.

Thinking this, her gaze shifted to Lin Jianxia standing to the side.

Having learned from his previous experience, Jiang Yubai quickly noticed the clues.

The little hedgehog seemed to be fast asleep, but its breathing was sometimes rapid and sometimes slow, its eyelashes trembled, and its eyes moved restlessly.

Oh.......

Are you pulling this stunt again?

Jiang Yubai, feeling playful, quietly approached and squatted down beside the bed to examine it closely.

Seemingly sensing something, Lin Jianxia's breathing became noticeably rapid.

The girl's cheeks still had a lingering blush, and her lips looked exceptionally soft and pink in the dim light, with a faint sheen, making her look incredibly alluring.

You ambushed me just now, so here I am returning the favor. Is that fair?

Once the thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.

The last time he pretended to be asleep, he talked on and on, giving the girl plenty of opportunities, and in the end he just kicked her out of the room.

But this time...

Jiang Yubai held his breath, slowly lowered his head, and gently pecked her slightly parted lips.

The moment their lips touched, he clearly felt the girl beneath him tremble slightly, and her breathing became rapid.

But this time, Lin Jianxia was still pretending to be asleep.

Jiang Yubai didn't bully her too much. He lingered on that gentle warmth for two more seconds before straightening up, satisfied.

Looking again, one of the little hedgehogs' faces was already bright red, but it still stubbornly remained motionless.

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but chuckle before lying back down on the bamboo mat, satisfied, and slowly closing his eyes.

After lying there for a few seconds, he couldn't help but turn his head to look to the side.

...How about another kiss?

This tempting idea lingered in my mind for a long time.

Finally, he took a deep breath, turned over, and forced himself to close his eyes.

Never mind, there's always another day.

.....

I don't know how much time passed.

Lin Jianxia on the bed then moved slightly, making a rustling sound, before instantly freezing in place.

She held her breath, listened carefully to the sounds around her, and only after confirming that there was nothing amiss did she cautiously peek out half of her head.

Under the moonlight, the figure lay quietly on the bamboo mat, seemingly fast asleep.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief, feeling a little weak all over, and slowly lay back down.

In the quiet room, only the pounding of my heart could be heard.

What?!

Taking advantage of me while I was sleeping...you're bullying me, aren't you!

...Although it's true that I kissed him first.

Thinking of this, the girl's ears suddenly burned again, and she couldn't help but reach out and cover her face, the skin her fingertips touched was burning hot.
