Sister, can I be a maid too?

"I know..."

Lin Tingwan turned her head, hesitated for a moment, and slowly reached out to touch her sister's hair.

"...Jiang Yubai, I already told you not to touch my head," Lin Jianxia protested in a muffled voice.

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes:

"What business is it of mine if your sister touched it?"

Lin Jianxia was taken aback, then suddenly looked up.

The two sisters looked at each other for a while.

The next second, Lin Jianxia suddenly smiled, hugged her younger sister even tighter, pressed her face against hers, and spoke in a soft, drawn-out voice:

"Wanwan is the best~"

"Why is it that when I touch your head it's 'Don't touch my head,' but when Lin Tingwan touches your head it's 'Wanwan is the best'?"

Lin Jianxia raised her still slightly red eyes and glared at him:

"What, you want this treatment too? Okay—then call me 'sister' now, and I'll let you touch me."

"hehe."

......

......

Since Dr. Su gave the assessment that "the situation is improving," Lin Jianxia has felt much more relaxed.

She hummed a cheerful tune all afternoon, sticking close to her sister and circling around her. She even prepared an extra lavish dinner for her.

After dinner, it was study time for the three of us as usual.

By the time I finished all the homework and tests for the day, it was already 9:30 pm.

Jiang Yubai leaned back in his chair, let out a long sigh, feeling utterly exhausted, and his stomach even growled twice.

It must be admitted that mental exertion is extremely physically demanding, especially in the senior year of high school, a time when students are at their most energetic.

Even though I ate such a big dinner, only four or five hours later, it felt like all the energy I had consumed had been squeezed out.

"I'm starving! I'm going downstairs for a midnight snack!"

Jiang Yubai drawled out the words and turned to look:

Anyone want to come along?

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, was clearly in no better shape. Having spent the entire night struggling with physics formulas and mathematical symbols, she was now listlessly muttering along:

"I want to go... I want to drink milk tea... right now."

Lin Tingwan nodded gently in agreement.

"Okay, then your sister and I will go downstairs to buy some late-night snacks, you stay at home..."

Jiang Yubai's voice trailed off halfway through his sentence.

He belatedly turned his head, looking uncertainly at his side:

"That...Lin Tingwan?"

Lin Tingwan blinked her beautiful eyes, picked up the ballpoint pen on the table, wrote something in her notebook, and gently handed it over.

Jiang Yubai's throat bobbed slightly as he carefully took the notebook and looked down at it.

It simply says two words above, along with a carefully placed punctuation mark.

"I'm going."

Chapter 94 Today is a great victory for Lin Tingwan.

Looking at the clear handwriting on the notebook, Jiang Yubai was still a little confused.

He paused, then tentatively asked again:

"Um, Lin Tingwan... are you sure you want to come with us?"

Lin Tingwan nodded.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing beside him, was even more incredulous than he was. Looking at her sister, a look of worry gradually appeared on her face.

“Wanwan, Dr. Su said you’re getting better, so we’re not in a rush… If you feel uncomfortable, don’t force yourself.”

Lin Tingwan looked down and wrote something in the notebook, then flipped it open to show the two of them.

"I want to go."

Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia exchanged a glance.

Now that it's confirmed that Lin Tingwan wasn't going out against her will, it's certainly the best thing that she's willing to go out on her own initiative.

“Okay, let’s go then,” Jiang Yubai stood up first. “Is there anything you want to eat?”

Chicken wings.

Lin Tingwan held up her small notebook.

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but chuckle as he read this:

"Okay, no problem."

It seems that Lin Tingwan really has a special fondness for the chicken wings from the shop downstairs, and orders them almost every time.

Even if you occasionally switch to other snacks for fear she'll get tired of them, she'll still hold up her little notebook and earnestly ask you, "Are there chicken wings left tomorrow?"

He led Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan down the stairs and stopped in front of the community gate.

The National Day holiday is not over yet, and although there are slightly fewer people on the food street near the entrance than in the previous days, it is still quite lively.

Jiang Yubai turned around with some concern.

Since leaving home, Lin Tingwan has become noticeably timid, staying close to him and almost touching him.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, glanced at the crowds on the street, then at her tense younger sister beside her, and a look of worry appeared in her eyes.

These two are truly sisters; one suffers from severe social anxiety, and the other seems somewhat uneasy about the abortion.

Jiang Yubai said:

"There are a lot of people on the street, so you two stay close. Tell me immediately if you feel unwell."

Lin Jianxia also leaned close to her younger sister's ear and whispered a few words. Still not entirely at ease, she simply reached out and grabbed the hem of Jiang Yu's white dress, turning back to demonstrate as if to say:

"Wanwan, you can hold on like this too, so you won't get separated."

Lin Tingwan glanced at her older sister's actions, then at Jiang Yubai, and stretched out her hand in a similar manner—

She grabbed Jiang Yubai's wrist.

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

Jiang Yubai: "......."

Feeling the warm, soft touch on his wrist, Jiang Yubai's expression shifted subtly for a moment.

That seems like a good idea.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, stared blankly at her younger sister's actions, hesitant to speak, wanting to say something but ultimately unsure of what to say.

If there's any connection, it's just holding hands—and that's only to prevent them from getting separated.

But to say it's okay... there's something subtly unsettling about this scene.

In the end, Lin Jianxia didn't say anything, but silently tugged at Jiang Yubai's sleeve.

As she pulled him along, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards his right wrist...

No no no!

She quickly shook her head.

Jiang Yubai hadn't thought that far ahead. He glanced at the two people beside him and casually said:

"Is everything okay? Remember to hold on tight, and let me know if there are any problems."

...I have this feeling that it's like a kindergarten teacher taking the kids on a spring outing.

Putting aside this slightly strange thought, Jiang Yubai turned around and walked towards the snack street in front of him.

Smoke billowed around the barbecue stall.

The three of them waited side by side for their skewers, and passersby couldn't help but cast curious glances at them—their eyes would linger on the two sisters for a moment, and then finally fall back on Jiang Yubai in the middle.

No wonder, these twins are already good-looking, and with them standing on either side of a boy, it's hard for anyone passing by not to take a second look.

However, Jiang Yubai did not enjoy such gazes at all. Every few seconds, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Tingwan beside him, afraid that something might go wrong.

"Come on, three skewers of chicken wings are ready."

The stall owner, an older woman, clearly recognized this regular customer who came almost every day, and her smile was even warmer than usual.

Jiang Yubai thanked him softly, took the golden-brown, slightly charred chicken wings, and handed one skewer to each of the two sisters beside him.

He turned to look at the surging crowd around him and suggested:

"How about we go inside and sit down first? You two can wait for me inside after we order, and I'll go buy whatever you want to eat."

Lin Jianxia looked around and nodded:

"Okay... grilled fish again?"

"Lin Tingwan has already eaten grilled fish. The hot pot we had yesterday was pretty good. How about we take her to try it?"

Lin Jianxia naturally had no objections.

Jiang Yubai turned to look at Lin Tingwan, who was munching on a chicken wing beside him. Seeing her nod slightly, he led the way to the hot pot restaurant.

Perhaps due to the decrease in customer traffic, there weren't too many customers in the hot pot restaurant, and there happened to be a small private room that hadn't been booked.

Just then, Jiang Yubai led the two inside.

After entering the private room, Lin Jianxia curiously looked around, her eyes shining as she turned to Jiang Yubai:

"Speaking of which... if we could always book a private room, wouldn't it mean we could take Wanwan out to eat more often?"
