Sister, can I be a maid too?

Lin Jianxia: "........."

"Aside from adding 'classmate' after your name and changing your name to 'you' (formal), nothing else has changed, you idiot!!!"

The girl flew into a rage.

"I'm telling the truth, okay?" Jiang Yu shrugged. "I can't exactly lie, can I?"

Lin Jianxia kicked his shin lightly in annoyance, but seeing that he still had that thick-skinned look, she could only sigh in exhaustion.

"Yes, yes, Wanwan's grades are definitely a little better than mine..."

"I never see her memorizing texts or doing practice questions, but every time she takes a test, her score is higher than mine..."

Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Tingwan, who was tilting her head with an innocent expression on her left, and then at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was looking dejected on her right, and couldn't help but chuckle.

He shook his head and said helplessly:

"You used to be busy with all sorts of things outside every day, working, cooking, and doing all the housework. How much time did you have to focus on your studies?"

"Isn't it normal that Lin Tingwan's grades are better than yours?"

Lin Jianxia's pained expression softened slightly as she thought about it carefully...

That seems true!

"You...you're not trying to comfort me, are you?"

"Why should I comfort you?" Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her, stood up, and said, "Go and cook, I'm starving."

Although it was only half a test paper, by the time we finished it and had the explanation, it was already 11 o'clock.

"...Who told you not to eat breakfast?"

Lin Jianxia grumbled, but still stood up.

After sitting down on the sofa with Lin Tingwan, Jiang Yubai went to check on the next room first.

The installation work on the side was clearly nearing completion, with the two women installing the air conditioner squatting on the ground tidying up their tools.

Hearing the noise, the older woman looked up and smiled:

"It's installed! We've tested the power on/off and temperature settings, and we were just about to come over to find you."

"Look, the air conditioner unit is here, and the outdoor unit is also fixed in place. It'll be just the right time to use it when the weather gets cooler."

Jiang Yubai looked up and saw the brand-new air conditioner hanging quietly in the corner of the wall, its silver-white body incongruous with the somewhat worn-out furnishings in the room.

"Thank you both for your hard work. It's getting late, why don't you have lunch here?"

“No need, we’re waiting at home,” another woman waved her hand and took out a card from her pocket. “Just call this number if there’s a problem.”

After giving a few more instructions on how to use the tools, the aunt picked up her toolbox and rushed out the door.

Jiang Yubai picked up the remote control and tried it again.

After confirming that everything was normal, he nodded in satisfaction and turned to go back to his room.

Lin Tingwan was sitting on the sofa, quietly watching the TV in the living room, while the soft sounds of washing and chopping vegetables came from the kitchen.

With nothing else to do, Jiang Yubai sat down next to her.

The TV was showing an old series called "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen," which Lin Tingwan watched with great interest, her eyes glued to the screen.

Jiang Yubai sank into the soft sofa, the faint scent of lavender lingering in his nostrils.

Perhaps it was because doing the problems was too exhausting, or perhaps he hadn't slept enough in the morning, but he didn't stay awake for long before slowly closing his eyes.

...

...

"....white!"

"Jiang Yubai!"

Jiang Yubai was awakened by a familiar voice while he was still half asleep.

But... why does that tone sound a little angry?

He slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Jianxia standing in front of him, wearing an apron and with her hands on her hips, her expression looking rather resentful.

Why is it angled?

Jiang Yubai thought sluggishly, his mind still not fully awake.

Wait... why does the whole world seem tilted?

Perception gradually returned—

The enticing aroma of the food, the sounds of commercials coming from the television, and the soft, warm touch against my neck.

"..."

Wait,

A soft, warm touch?

Jiang Yubai blinked.

Chapter 90: Taking a break after studying is a normal thing!

Under Lin Jianxia's murderous gaze, Jiang Yubai awkwardly straightened up.

Oh dear, I fell asleep and accidentally leaned on my younger sister's shoulder, and my older sister caught me red-handed...

"Did you sleep well?" Lin Jianxia asked with a forced smile. "Wanwan's shoulder was comfortable to lean on, wasn't it?"

"...Well, I fell asleep without noticing."

Jiang Yubai coughed lightly, his ears burning slightly as he turned his face away.

Lin Tingwan hugged the panda pillow, blinked, and wore a slightly unhappy expression, as if she hadn't just been leaned against.

Looking at the pair of brilliant and talented individuals, Lin Jianxia was caught in a dilemma: whether to be angry or not.

It's highly unlikely that Jiang Yubai did it on purpose; he probably just drifted off to sleep.

Wanwan... why didn't you just hide?

After grinding his teeth, Lin Jianxia ultimately said nothing more, only glaring at him and saying:

"Dinner's ready!"

Lunch was as plentiful as ever.

Perhaps considering that Jiang Yubai hadn't eaten breakfast, two of the three dishes and one soup this time were meat dishes.

A plate of stir-fried beef with green peppers, a plate of steamed beef ribs, and some refreshing smashed cucumber made Jiang Yubai very satisfied.

After quickly devouring lunch, Lin Jianxia cleaned up the dishes and took her younger sister back to their room to check on the newly installed air conditioner.

Jiang Yubai, feeling tired after a hearty meal, leisurely strolled back to his bedroom.

Lying on the soft bed, Jiang Yubai couldn't fall asleep for some reason, as if the faint scent of lavender still lingered around him.

...Could it be that Lin Tingwan's shoulder pillow was too comfortable, causing her to be unable to sleep now that it's gone?

After tossing and turning in bed for a while, Jiang Yubai suddenly sat up, strode into the study, and took the new vocabulary list that Lin Jianxia had given him the night before.

This trick was surprisingly effective.

After reciting it twice from top to bottom, Jiang Yubai's vision went black, and he collapsed onto the pillow with a thud, losing consciousness.

This time, I slept for more than three hours.

It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Yubai finally woke up. He had even overslept, and his head was still slightly throbbing.

He washed his face with cold water, then took the vocabulary list from the bedside table, sat back in his study, and began writing on the test paper.

There was no other way; besides the mountain of homework assigned by the school during the five-day National Day holiday, Lin Jianxia also gave him two carefully selected test papers every day.

If we don't hurry, it might really be too late.

There's no way around it; the daily life of a senior high school student is just that simple, unpretentious, and monotonous.

.......

.......

After dinner.

Jiang Yubai stretched and looked at Lin Jianxia, ​​who had just come out of the kitchen, tilting his head and saying:

"Shall we continue tonight?"

“Go on,” Lin Jianxia wiped her hands. “We only went over half a test paper this morning, and I haven’t checked your English yet.”

"Row."

Jiang Yubai nodded, reached out and pushed open the study door. Just as he was about to turn around and say something, he suddenly stopped.

Two identical faces followed behind him, one obedient and well-behaved, the other with a strange expression.

"What are you doing blocking the doorway?" Lin Jianxia tilted her head. "Did you forget something?"

Jiang Yubai didn't reply. He glanced back and forth between the two to make sure he hadn't miscounted before turning to the figure on the left and tentatively speaking:

"Um... Lin Tingwan, aren't you going back to your room?"

Eh?

Lin Jianxia was a beat slow to react, and looked at her younger sister with a look of astonishment.

Yeah, doesn't Wanwan usually go home right after dinner?

Upon hearing this question, Lin Tingwan wrote something in her notebook and handed it over.

Jiang Yubai looked down and saw two neat and beautiful characters on the paper:

"study."

After stroking his chin and examining it for a long time, Jiang Yubai finally realized.

He shook his head at Lin Jianxia, ​​looking at her as if she were hopelessly incorrigible.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it, it's definitely unreliable for you to teach your sister yourself."
