Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Um... you asked me to come to the study earlier, is there something you wanted to say?"

She's been agonizing over this all afternoon.

After all, Jiang Yubai just left with those words and ran away without saying anything, leaving her to overthink things until now.

Especially considering that the two of them had just had a fight, and now he hadn't even left dinner for her...

I felt even more insecure.

"What is it?" Jiang Yubai glanced at her and said casually, "No rush, let's finish today's homework first."

What?!

Can you please stop teasing us like this?!

Lin Jianxia was so angry that she shouted this in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She just silently replied with "Oh".

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

Was my tone too harsh just now? Surely not.

She seemed so confident this morning, but now... she looks like a timid little maid with her head down?

What is this, Lin Jianxia's Guilty Heart Limited Edition?

Should we take this opportunity to flirt with him a couple more times?

Ugh... Never mind, what if I get angry again?

These random thoughts raced through his mind, but Jiang Yu remained expressionless and handed over the vocabulary list:

"Alright, let's begin."

Lin Jianxia, ​​of course, had no idea what this guy was thinking. She simply composed herself and uttered the first word:

"mixture".

...

After the vocabulary test was over and the two of them finished explaining their test papers, Jiang Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief and tidied up the test papers in his hands.

As he was tidying up, he noticed that Lin Jianxia's gaze was wandering around, glancing at him every now and then.

Jiang Yubai turned his head, only to see that the guy suddenly turned his head away again, looking like he was organizing the test papers.

"What's with your reaction?" Jiang Yubai couldn't help but laugh. "Just say what you want to say, why are you being so secretive?"

Lin Jianxia finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"What did you want to tell me when you asked me to come over this morning?!"

That jerk!

If you're going to say something, just say it; if you're not going to say it, then forget it. But instead, you threw out this nonsensical remark this morning, making her restless and overthinking all day.

It would have been better not to mention it at all in the morning!

It was definitely intentional!

Just as Lin Jianxia was muttering to herself, thinking he was going to make up another excuse, she saw Jiang Yubai's expression become more serious, and he said:

"Indeed, there is something I would like to ask for your opinion on, but I don't know... whether you would be willing."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia blinked, momentarily stunned.

"I'd like to ask for your opinion on something"—what does that mean?

I don't even know if I... am willing!

If it's something as trivial as asking what to eat tomorrow, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it, let alone taking her wishes into consideration.

So, aside from that, what exactly does Jiang Yubai want to ask?

Could it be... a maid outfit?

Didn't I already say this is the last time I'll wear it?

Lin Jianxia thought about it more and more and it seemed very possible. Her cheeks flushed, and her answer became hesitant and stammering:

"You...you tell me what it is first..."

If he really asks that... it seems... it also...

—What kind of expression is that?

Jiang Yubai gave this guy a strange look, and still said:

"By the way, do you remember the psychologist who diagnosed Lin Tingwan... who was it?"

“…”

“…”

".....ah?"

Chapter 85: Will Lin Tingwan go?

"Say something?"

Jiang Yubai asked curiously:

"I either remember or I don't. What kind of response is your 'ah'?"

Lin Jianxia, ​​however, seemed to have heard something incomprehensible, and her expression became subtle:

"Wanwan's...psychologist?"

Jiang Yubai nodded.

"...Why are you asking this?"

Lin Jianxia's tone suddenly became somewhat resentful:

"And why should I have to think about 'whether I'm willing' when it comes to this kind of question?!"

What?! Ah!

After keeping me in suspense all day, all I get to ask is about Wanwan's matter?!

Jiang Yubai, of course, had no idea what she was thinking, and simply spoke as if it were the most natural thing in the world:

"Because I want to ask that doctor to come to my house again to check on Lin Tingwan's condition."

"If I don't ask you, who should I ask? I can't just go and tell your sister directly, can I?"

Let's take another look?

Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts, and asked in confusion:

Why did it suddenly—

Suddenly realizing something, her eyes widened: "Is...is something wrong with Wanwan?"

Could it be that my younger sister's condition has worsened again?

"No, no, Wanwan is perfectly fine. Otherwise, I would have told you long ago. Why would I have waited until now?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yubai quickly waved his hand.

"I just feel that this is not a safe way to go. Just chatting and hugging... well, just chatting and stuff isn't enough."

"So it's best to have a professional doctor come back for a check-up and follow up regularly."

"I see..."

Lin Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief, but then became alert again:

"Wait, why do you call her Wanwan too?"

“…I’m just following your lead.” Jiang Yubai glanced at her speechlessly. “Don’t bring up other things. Do you still remember the doctor’s contact information?”

He paused, then added:

"Of course, it was my suggestion, and I'll cover the expenses."

"Let's talk about the fees later," Lin Jianxia said, pursing her lips.

To be honest, she had considered hiring a therapist again, but the two sisters had been struggling to even afford food, so they simply couldn't afford the expense.

This time, it was Jiang Yubai who took the initiative to bring it up, and even said that he would cover all the expenses, which stirred up a complicated feeling in her heart.

After frowning and deep in thought for a few seconds, Lin Jianxia suddenly slapped her forehead.

"Oh right! I think I saved that number, but I don't know if I can still find it now."

She took out her phone and started scrolling through her contacts.

A few minutes later, the girl handed over the phone:

"Here it is, Dr. Su."

Jiang Yubai looked down and the first thing he noticed was the fine scratches on the screen and a not-so-obvious black line along the edge.

The phone is a model from several years ago, and the casing looks a bit old.

But you can tell the owner takes good care of it; it's still covered with a phone case with a bear pattern.

"Where are you looking?" Lin Jianxia wrinkled her nose.

Jiang Yubai said "oh" and then looked away, saving the number on the screen into her phone.

He glanced at the time, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to dial the number.

The phone rang seven or eight times before it was finally answered, and a slightly tired female voice came from the other end:

"Hello, who is it?"

Jiang Yubai composed himself and reached out to turn on the speakerphone:

"Hello, is this Dr. Su?"

"It's me. How can I help you?"

"Well, we have a patient here who would like you to make a house call." He got straight to the point. "Would you be available in the next couple of days?"
