Sister, can I be a maid too?

The room wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.

A large, dark wood desk stands by the window, next to a temporarily empty bookshelf.

In the corner, there was a double bed covered with light gray sheets, which looked like it could be used as both a guest room and a study.

Jiang Yubai was already seated at his desk, with textbooks, exercise books, and draft paper spread out on the table, looking ready to get started.

Lin Jianxia's gaze lingered on the bed for a few seconds before she walked to the desk and hesitated, saying:

"Is it...right here?"

“Yeah,” Jiang Yubai said casually, “This desk is wide enough, and the chair is comfortable too.”

He patted the cushioned chair next to him, his tone tinged with a hint of pride:

"Isn't this much better than those hard dining chairs in the living room?"

That's not the issue!

Lin Jianxia stared at him for a few seconds, then finally pouted in frustration and sat down next to Jiang Yubai.

"How so, should we do the homework first? And then I'll teach you as we do it?" Jiang Yubai asked, tilting his head. "What should we do first? Chinese and English, or math and physics?"

Lin Jianxia thought for a moment:

"Let's start with Chinese and English, and see how good your level is?"

"Okay~ okay~ okay~" Jiang Yubai drawled, "I'll do whatever Teacher Lin says."

"...Could you please use a different form of address?"

"No problem, see Teacher Xia."

"......"

"Not satisfied? Then let's meet the teacher, Teacher Xia Xia—"

"Jiang! Yu! Bai!"

Jiang Yubai immediately turned around, pulled out a dictionary, and pretended to be doing her homework.

The little hedgehog's fur stood on end.

Lin Jianxia was so angry that her teeth itched, but seeing his serious expression as he looked down at the book, she couldn't lash out. So she puffed out her cheeks and started writing her test paper as well.

With a 'click', Lin Jianxia closed the pen cap and let out a long sigh of relief.

I glanced at the wall clock; it had taken me less than two hours to finish these two Chinese and English papers, which was a normal pace.

After all, there's no need to write an essay, and most of the other questions, which are homework assignments, only require brief answers without going into too much detail.

After checking it again, Lin Jianxia turned her head to see how Jiang Yubai's writing was going.

In her subconscious, even if this guy was slow, he should have already finished writing the second half of the second paper by now.

But she wished she hadn't looked; what she saw made her almost unable to believe her eyes.

Jiang Yubai's eyes were vacant, one hand supporting his chin and the other holding a pen, looking completely lost in thought.

The two exam papers in front of him were covered with scribbles and corrections, with large blank areas remaining.

"Jiang Yubai..." Lin Jianxia's voice was low and gloomy, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai seemed to finally come to his senses.

He turned to look at Lin Jianxia's paper, which was filled with writing, and instead of feeling embarrassed, he looked puzzled.

"Teacher Lin, why are you writing so slowly?"

Lin Jianxia: "?"

—Look at your two exam papers before you speak!

Anyone who didn't know better would think you had already finished writing and were waiting for me!

She angrily moved closer to Jiang Yubai and pointed to a multiple-choice question on the English test paper:

"You don't even know this?"

Jiang Yu's skin is incredibly thick:

"will not."

"You don't even know what 'Restaurant' means?!"

Meeting Lin Jianxia's incredulous gaze, Jiang Yubai thought for a moment and tentatively asked:

"A place to rest?"

"It's a restaurant!!"

Chapter 54 Beautiful Girl Tutor Ms. Lin (Seeking monthly votes~)

After asking a few more questions, Lin Jianxia finally confirmed...

Hopeless.

This English test paper is completely hopeless.

After all, if he can't even understand the question, how can she explain her problem-solving tips to him?

Lin Jianxia sighed, feeling exhausted, and put the test paper aside before reaching for another Chinese language test paper.

"...Why can't you even fill in the blanks in Chinese?"

She couldn't help but complain.

"Hey, hey, it's not that I don't know how to do it," Jiang Yubai defended himself. "I just didn't write it down because I was unsure."

Lin Jianxia remained silent for a while, then pointed to one of the reading comprehension questions and said:

"The question clearly asks 'What is the author's main intention in writing this passage?' Why did you write 'He was in a good mood when he wrote this passage' next to it?"

"Isn't that right?" Jiang Yubai tilted his head to look.

"Didn't the teacher say that we should pay attention to the author's tone and emotions?"

Lin Jianxia took a deep breath and tapped her fingertip on the test paper:

"Paying attention to tone is to help you understand the author's writing purpose, not to allow you to directly diagnose the author's feelings!"

"You see, this description is actually meant to lead into the later reminiscences of childhood life in the countryside..."

Lin Jianxia explained in detail.

As Jiang Yubai listened, his gaze unconsciously drifted to the profile of someone so close to him.

The girl's voice was soft and gentle, like a feather brushing against your ear; it was incredibly pleasant to hear.

As she explained, a few strands of hair slipped from her high ponytail, dangling near her fair ears and swaying gently.

A faint scent of lavender mingled with the smell of ink from paper, making one's mind wander for no apparent reason.

"...In conclusion, the correct answer to this passage should be: Through vivid descriptions of nature, the author's longing for and reflection on the lost pastoral life is highlighted."

Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, then concluded:

"Did you understand?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Yubai withdrew his gaze and nodded in a mocking manner, "I think I'm starting to get the hang of it."

Just kidding, I only heard the beginning.

He finally understood why he couldn't hire a young and beautiful tutor, especially since Lin Jianxia was an SSS-level super beauty.

Explaining a topic involves getting quite close, especially in a space like a study.

The light was dim, the distance was closer, and a faint fragrance wafted over...

It really makes it hard to concentrate on studying.

But Lin Jianxia didn't notice anything amiss, and was even pleasantly surprised:

"Really? Then I'll say it again."

She thought Jiang Yubai would just say he didn't understand...

—A reaction is a good thing!

Teacher Lin cheered herself up in her heart.

Jiang Yubai felt a little guilty because of his energetic demeanor.

He steadied himself and forced himself to refocus on the exam paper in front of him.

Perhaps it was because the beautiful girl's explanations were particularly effective, or perhaps it was because Lin Jianxia's explanations were clear and easy to understand, but as Jiang Yubai calmed down and listened, he actually began to absorb the information.

“So…” he hesitated before speaking, “should this passage say: ‘This lays the groundwork for later reflections on the disappearance of nature’?”

Lin Jianxia's eyes lit up: "Yeah...you learn pretty fast!"

“Teacher Lin is still the best teacher,” Jiang Yubai nodded, then complained, “I feel sleepy as soon as Teacher Zhao opens his mouth, it’s like listening to a lullaby.”

"...That's because you weren't paying attention in class, okay?"

Jiang Yu shrugged, pushed the two completed test papers aside, and pulled out his math and physics homework from his bag:

"I guess I should write these next."

Lin Jianxia gave a soft "hmm" and took out a draft paper from her bag.

The workload this time wasn't too heavy: half a math test paper plus two pages of physics exercises.

Of course, there aren't many questions, but the difficulty...

That's a matter of opinion.

Anyway, Jiang Yubai finally got the hang of it and scribbled on the paper, finally rediscovering some of the joy of solving problems with unstoppable speed.

Otherwise, if he continued to stare at those two Chinese and English test papers, he might really lose all faith in the word "learning".
