Sister, can I be a maid too?

After all, it's a private school, and the cafeteria is outsourced. The plain porridge and steamed buns are just to meet the subsidy requirements, and there's no real effort put into them.

But how could I have kept eating like that day after day?

And now.....

Why does it suddenly feel so difficult to even swallow?

She lowered her head and ate slowly, bite by bite, but her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

Only now has she finally understood.

I feel like...

Something really has been lost.

Testimonials

Ah... we've reached the point of being listed again. I have so many feelings about this, I don't know what to talk about.

I remember the first time I picked up a pen to write was in November 2024. At that time, I saw that everyone was updating so slowly every day, so I had the idea of ​​writing my own stories.

Thus, the first book, "Green Plum," was born.

After repeatedly failing to score inside, he finally threw a shot in anger and got caught.

Qingmei's performance was terrible. It was only recommended once and couldn't even get the 100 readers needed to be published. It was published with a dismal 300,000 words and only double-digit subscriptions on its first day.

During those two months, I wrote hundreds of thousands of words. My income was 5 yuan in the first month and 9 yuan in the second month, all from tips.

This is a result that 99 out of 100 authors would choose to cut their books or hastily finish them.

But this is my first book, and I don't want my story to die.

So I wrote and wrote, from 300,000 to 500,000, from 500,000 to 1 million, until now, at 2 million words, it's finally finished.

More and more people are reading my books, and more and more people are encouraging me. I've also formed a happy book club.

Actually, I'm just a reader who dislikes the author's slow updates and plans to write my own.

So if you join the group, you'll know that I'm the kind of person who chats in the group every day and feels uncomfortable if I don't chat for a day.

I'll excitedly say that a particular plot is so well-written that I want to save it for future reference, and I'll also say, "Why did that book get abandoned again? Oh my god!"

So, starting from the last semester, I set a requirement for myself:

I will never be a eunuch.

After all, I've already written 70 first subscriptions, what else could possibly make me abandon this project?

Far away.

Let's get back to the book "The Maid".

Actually, it all started when I was reading "Rebirth of the Neighboring Twins" by Yi Yutianqing. I felt that the twin female leads were really cute, and I immediately decided that I must write a book about twins for my new book!

Of course, this book also successfully introduced me to the author Yiyutianqing, who even recommended it to me in her fan group. Thank you so much! Orz

Let's get back to the results.

The performance of "The Maid" was actually much, much better than that of "Green Plum". It was recommended in the first to fourth rounds and appeared on Xiaoba and Sanjiang all over the place... I was really, really, really surprised.

Actually, my best expectation was just to get 100 readers and be able to publish it with 200,000 words.

There was no other way; I was terrified of being poor. My last book, which had 500,000 words, never saw more than 100 readers follow it.

Thank you so much to all the readers who have made it this far! I'm bowing down to you in gratitude! Orz

I feel that my strength lies in the later daily life scenes; the beginning was absolutely terrible, as you can see from my previous book.

Of course, I'd like to recommend myself here as well. The later parts of "Green Plum" are really good, and Su Su and Qiu Qiu are the perfect female leads in my mind.

Don't ask why it's in the mid-to-late stages yet.

As for the success of "The Maid"... I've pondered this for a long time, and I feel that the title must have played a role.

Here, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the fisherman who gave me the book title. I love you!

Regardless of the outcome, Panda will continue writing the Maid series.

Summer of meeting, evening of listening, and Jiang Yubai—their story has a long way to go.

Lin Jianxia's pig-sniffle-like antics have largely destroyed any goodwill she might have had, and Ting Wan is about to make her move again. So, what choice will Jiang Yubai ultimately make?

Stay tuned!

Here, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my editor, Penglai, and to Yuli Nana and Cangmang Xiaojia for their Silver Alliance donations.

Thank you to ShaIIowDream, Electric Sheep, First Snow Cherry, Silent Worldly Separation and Reunion, Red Chef, Watching the Rain from the Railing, Emperor For You, nanacho, Azure Track, Eastern Rain Sorrow, Little Fish Floating, Summer of Love for Mangoes, and the leader of the Pig-Ordering Alliance. Thank you!

Thank you to all the members of the Jingye Si group who have been with me all this time, and thank you to every reader of "The Maid" and "Green Plum".

I love you all~

I'd also like to recommend a post by a fellow group member, Xiao Ba, titled "I Discovered They're All Pretending to Be Normal."

Heihei's "After School, and Then a Demoness Offered Herself to Me"

And the pillow's "That Wicked Enchantress Actually Disguised as My Wife"

(P.S.: The reason I started writing books was to follow the updates of Honey Princess's Rekindled Love and Pillow's Social Anxiety, but I ended up writing a two-million-word childhood sweetheart novel instead, and these two aren't finished yet. (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻)

I recommend that anyone who wants to write their own story give it a try, because that's how I did it!

Finally, those who pre-order on the first day of release can join the group for a lucky draw! The prize is a giant panda plush pillow, just like the one Tingting wore!

It will be officially available at noon today, so see you in the next chapter!

Main text

Chapter 72 Dear Sister, I forgot the rest, anyway, good luck (Please subscribe!)

Jiang Yubai was pondering a very serious question.

That is--

Is Lin Tingwan's illness curable?

Although she initially shut herself off completely, she is now willing to come to his house for a meal.

Even when he occasionally brings snacks, you can catch a fleeting look of anticipation on his little face.

Even though things are getting better, we can't rely on talking therapy forever, can we?

You're saying... that just talking and a hug can cure this kind of heartache? That's really unrealistic.

Besides, he only chats with Lin Tingwan for ten or twenty minutes each day, but what about the time she spends at home?

In that small room, was she sitting alone on the bed, hugging her knees, quietly gazing out the window for the entire day?

If things continue like this... will things really get better?

Just as I was pondering this, the school bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

The Chinese teacher on stage adjusted his glasses, his gaze sweeping over the students below who were already starting to stir:

"Well, we'll go over the rest of the test paper tomorrow. Okay, school's out."

The students cheered, accompanied by scattered shouts of "Long live the teacher!", and then began to pack up their things.

Jiang Yu shook his head to come to his senses, then stuffed the exercise paper spread out on the table into his schoolbag and zipped it up.

He finished packing in two minutes, and as soon as he slung it over his shoulder and turned around, his movements suddenly froze.

Lin Jianxia hadn't left early; instead, she was standing silently in the aisle diagonally opposite him, watching him intently.

The setting sun cast its rays slanting into the classroom, bathing her lowered eyelids in a golden light.

But those beautiful eyes were hidden in the shadows, revealing an indescribable...

A sense of melancholy?

Jiang Yubai's heart skipped a beat.

Damn, did I do something to her?

His mind raced, replaying his entire day in his head.

I praised her for making delicious breakfast this morning, and on the way to school, apart from asking Lin Tingwan a question, I remained as quiet as a chicken the whole time.

During morning self-study, he focused on memorizing vocabulary and didn't even glance at her.

He didn't bother them at lunchtime, and behaved himself all day, not even passing them a single note...

No, she did take the draft notebook over this morning, looked at it for a while, and then returned it...

Could they be searching for evidence of a crime?

But those were conversations written a few days ago. Even if something was said inappropriately back then, the statute of limitations has expired, hasn't it?

Or was it that I was sitting too close to her chair while eating breakfast?

Even so, there's no need to wait until after school to settle accounts.

Jiang Yubai felt increasingly uncertain as he thought about it, and tentatively asked:

"Um, Lin... Lin Tingwan, do you want to come along?"

If you disagree, he'll run away on the spot.

But Lin Jianxia on the other side seemed to have been waiting for these words, and nodded emphatically.

hiss........

Jiang Yubai felt even more uncertain.

Did he get caught touching someone's sister inappropriately?

But since things had come to this, he could only nod reluctantly.

"Then... let's go."

Jiang Yubai stepped out the door, and Lin Jianxia silently followed beside him. The two walked out of the school gate side by side.
