Sister, can I be a maid too?

Lin Jianxia slowly slumped onto the table and mumbled:

“It’s not that Wanwan can’t go out, it’s that she becomes like that when she leaves the area she feels safe in.”

"Perhaps it was some kind of psychological protection mechanism, but back then, she basically ignored even me, her older sister..."

“Every day after school, she would stay in her room for a while before she could slowly recover.”

At this point, Lin Jianxia sighed:

"So I've always been worried that if this situation continues for too long, Wanwan might stay in that state forever."

"But yesterday was different. It seemed like she... also considered this place a safe place to stay."

"That's why I really wanted to know what you guys were talking about... but Wanwan wouldn't tell me."

Lin Jianxia became more and more distressed as she spoke, her eyebrows furrowing.

Hearing her explanation, Jiang Yubai finally understood.

He was saying that... Lin Tingwan could go to and from school normally, so how come Lin Jianxia said she couldn't even go out for a meal?

It turns out that chatting with Lin Tingwan was actually quite helpful.

Could it be that talk therapy is actually effective?

Or is it... because of that hug?

Just as he was pondering, Lin Jianxia sat up straight and said seriously, "So, now that I've told you, you should answer my question."

Jiang Yubai pursed his lips:

"Actually, it was just some very ordinary topics, like what she likes to eat, what kind of dolls she likes, and so on."

Lin Jianxia was taken aback: "Is that all?"

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then spoke up:

"Hmm... she said she feels comfortable being hugged and wants me to hug her, does that count?"

"?"

Lin Jianxia was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened immediately:

"You carried him up?!"

Chapter 48 The Pig Eating Cabbage

"You carried him up?!"

"Uh...she insisted..."

"You insist on carrying me?!"

"...I didn't say I hugged him."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia immediately relaxed:

"Phew...that's good."

"She carried him up."

"?"

Lin Jianxia almost couldn't catch her breath:

"Is there a difference?!"

Jiang Yubai shrugged:

"Of course there's a difference. When I hug her, it's called a hug. But when she hugs me... I'm just a pillow, I don't even move my hands."

"But I still hugged him!"

"Hey, didn't you tell me to try my best to meet her demands?"

Jiang Yubai complained.

"Your Wanwan has only made this one request, and she's made it more than once. I can't very well refuse, can I?"

Lin Jianxia instantly grasped the key point and raised her eyes alertly: "You mentioned it more than once?"

"Wait, how many times have you hugged?"

Jiang Yubai didn't intend to hide it—after all, it didn't seem like he had any ulterior motives.

“Yesterday was the second time. The first time, she didn’t even ask me before she pounced on me.”

"But after I spent half an hour explaining things to her... this time she finally knew to write it down in her little notebook and ask me first."

He paused, then said slowly:

"Just a friendly reminder, your sister only thought hugging should be comfortable after reading your novel, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Jianxia's somewhat indignant expression suddenly froze on her face.

After a long while, she suddenly buried her face in her hands, her voice muffled as it escaped from between her fingers:

"I am truly a sinner..."

Jiang Yubai took a bite of the ham and egg pancake and mumbled:

"If you feel this is inappropriate, I can refuse in the future."

"Or... if you think there's something wrong with this kind of chatting, I'll try to have less contact with her in the future."

Lin Jianxia kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yubai glanced at him and reminded him:

"Let me make this clear beforehand, your sister's perception... is actually quite problematic, and I'm not sure how it will ultimately develop."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia finally took action.

She raised her head, gazed at him for a long while, and then suddenly sighed.

“I know that Wanwan has never had the opportunity to learn about these things since she was a child, let alone receive any systematic education on how to treat people.”

"In addition, the situation has become more and more serious as she has isolated herself over the years."

Jiang Yubai hummed in agreement.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and said, "But thank you for being willing to tell me all this."

"No matter what, it's better than her staying cooped up in her room all the time."

"If possible... I hope you can talk to Wanwan more often in the future."

"after all...."

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and didn't continue speaking.

After all, besides her older sister, it seems that Wanwan is most willing to get close to you.

"Row."

Jiang Yubai nodded without any objection:

"I'll stack some armor here first, just in case something really happens later, so don't blame it all on me."

"...What kind of trouble are you trying to cause?" Lin Jianxia's tone immediately became wary.

Jiang Yubai, however, remained completely unperturbed, simply shrugging and saying:

"I can only guarantee that I won't cause any problems on my own side, and that I won't abduct your sister or anything like that. As for anything else..."

He glanced at Lin Jianxia.

"You should think about how to hide your novels properly—they're really a bad influence on kids."

Lin Jianxia choked, wanting to retort, "Wanwan is only a few months younger than you," but she swallowed the words back and just mumbled an "Oh."

So angry.

It feels like your own beautiful cabbage has been eaten by someone else's pig, and you can only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

But she couldn't get angry, since it was her own daughter who started it.

Not only that, but you also have to think about how to make the pigs eat more comfortably!

—Oh well, it's just one... or two hugs.

—At worst, I can go back and have a good talk with Wanwan. What else could possibly go wrong?

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxia immediately felt relieved.

She glanced at the porridge on Jiang Yubai's table, pursed her lips, and said:

Is that enough?

?

No, if I say it's not enough, are you going to come downstairs and buy me something?

Jiang Yubai raised his head warily:

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; what do you want?"

Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth: "Can't you tell right from wrong? I'm telling you to eat quickly, or you'll be late!"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback: "What, you're going to school today? Lin Tingwan isn't going?"

"Ah."

Lin Jianxia nodded, then sighed.

"The original idea of ​​having her go to school late at night was to let her interact with more people, which would be better for her condition."

"But as you can see, going to school has not only failed to improve her situation, but has actually made her sink deeper into autism."

"It would be better to..." she paused, her tone somewhat helpless, "to just chat with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai let out a soft "uh":

"So Lin Tingwan won't be going to school anymore? What will happen to her studies? Won't she fall behind?"

"Of course not. If Wanwan wants to go, that's another story. As for her homework... I'll help her catch up."
