Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 108 The older sister is on the left, and the younger sister is on the right.

Jinxiu New Village.

Jiang Yubai, who had just returned from the street and taken out his keys, suddenly paused and asked in surprise:

"Why is this door ajar?"

He turned to look at Lin Jianxia behind him, and asked in confusion:

"Didn't we lock it properly when we left?"

Lin Jianxia, ​​carrying large and small bags, stood behind him and shook her head upon hearing this:

"No, I remember it was locked."

"A thief broke in? Who would steal from this run-down neighborhood?" Jiang Yubai frowned. "Wait, besides the two of us, who else has a key?"

Lin Jianxia said blankly:

"That's it, I think it was given to me later..."

He stopped talking abruptly at that point.

Jiang Yubai and Lin Jianxia exchanged a glance, then turned around abruptly, opened the door, and went inside.

Looking up, I saw Lin Tingwan sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees, wearing a light blue plush pajama set.

Hearing the noise, she slowly raised her head and looked over, somewhat bewildered.

"Wanwan?"

Lin Jianxia sat down next to her younger sister.

"Weren't you catching up on sleep? Why are you here?"

Lin Tingwan took out her notebook, wrote something down, and handed it to her to see:

"Where did my sister go?"

"Uh... I went to buy some things..."

Lin Jianxia made a face and said honestly.

Jiang Yubai, watching from the side, almost laughed.

After all, Lin Jianxia is usually in a fierce fighting mode, and this docile appearance is only seen in front of her younger sister, Lin Tingwan.

But the next second, Lin Tingwan turned her head and her eyes silently fell on him.

"......"

For some reason, Jiang Yubai suddenly felt a little uneasy and subconsciously began to explain:

"Um...we weren't actually out for very long..."

He could almost picture the scene—

Lin Tingwan woke up from her dream and instinctively wanted to go next door to find him and Lin Jianxia, ​​but after searching everywhere, she couldn't find them. She could only sit silently on the sofa and wait for them to come back.

Normally it would be fine, but the main problem is that this just happened once...

Jiang Yubai coughed lightly and sat down next to Lin Tingwan:

"Oh, by the way, your sister bought you something. See if you like it."

As he spoke, he kept giving Lin Jianxia meaningful glances.

Lin Jianxia immediately understood and quickly took the items out of the shopping bag:

"Hey Wanwan, here are the clothes I bought for you, and a new phone too!"

Thanks to the allure of the new clothes and phone, Lin Tingwan finally looked away, her eyes now filled with curiosity.

Seeing Lin Jianxia holding up clothes and gesturing at Lin Tingwan on the sofa, Jiang Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

It seems that the previous comforting words had an effect; at least Lin Tingwan no longer believed that he and Lin Jianxia had truly eloped.

After Lin Jianxia finished trying on the clothes and then watched as she downloaded QQ and patiently taught her younger sister how to register an account, Jiang Yubai finally couldn't help but speak up:

"By the way... Lin Tingwan, she should have no problem typing, right?"

"No problem!"

Lin Jianxia said with dissatisfaction,

"Hey, do you really think Wanwan is a seven-year-old?"

Hard to say.

Despite thinking this to himself, Jiang Yubai still raised his hands in surrender and added the level 0 account nicknamed "Lin Tingwan" to his friends list.

After casually adding him to his special follow list, he hesitated for a moment, but still added the friend named "Lin Jianxia" to his special follow list as well.

Okay, then I changed one's nickname to "Wanwan" and the other's nickname to "Little Hedgehog".

Perfect~

After doing all this, he looked up again and gave a reminder:

"By the way, Lin Jianxia, ​​remember to use that one-click device transfer feature. Just click once and all the data will be transferred, saving you the trouble."

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and reluctantly said "Oh".

Jiang Yubai chuckled when he saw her pitiful little face.

"What's wrong? You're not happy about having a new phone?"

"...It's not that I'm unhappy."

I'm just a little reluctant to part with it...

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips.

In her opinion, the old phone was still usable, it was just a little laggy.

"Besides, what will you do with the old phone if you get a new one?"

"The old ones, huh?" Jiang Yubai blurted out instinctively, "The old ones... ugh, you can just keep the old ones safe, right?"

After packing up, Lin Jianxia didn't take her younger sister back to her room to rest. Instead, she carried her schoolbag into the study and even made Jiang Yubai sit down at the desk to study together.

The monthly exams had just ended, and unusually, the teacher didn't assign any homework.

Jiang Yubai thought Lin Jianxia was just talking casually, that he would be freed after finishing two papers.

But after he finished speaking, he stared at Lin Jianxia...

He pulled out two more bills.

Not only him, but Lin Tingwan, who was sitting quietly next to him, was also not spared, and two test papers were placed in front of her.

By the time all four test papers were completed and explained, Jiang Yubai was already dizzy and lightheaded, almost fainting on the spot in the study.

However, whether it was because she bought him clothes and a phone, or because she saw that Jiang Yubai had worked hard on his homework, Lin Jianxia treated him well.

For dinner, I not only made his favorite stir-fried pork with chili peppers, but also prepared a small dessert, which is quite rare for me.

As the sweet pudding entered his mouth, Jiang Yubai's resentment suddenly seemed to lessen.

It smells so good!

He scooped up another spoonful, completely satisfied.

-----------------

"Good evening~ Good evening~"

Lin Jianxia tugged at her younger sister's arm and said helplessly:

"Let's go, we have school tomorrow."

On the sofa, Lin Tingwan, dressed in pajamas, heard this but instead of getting up, she took the spiral notebook and handed it to her to look at:

"I want to watch TV."

Seeing her younger sister's serious expression, Lin Jianxia could only turn to Jiang Yubai for help.

"Why are you looking at me?" Jiang Yubai retorted. "You can't expect me to carry your sister back, can you?"

I asked you to help persuade them, and you still want to get involved?!

However, with her younger sister present, Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth and swallowed her words.

Strangely enough, my little sister, who usually follows me obediently when called, is unusually determined to stay here today.

If it were just watching TV... Lin Jianxia wouldn't care so much.

I watched it from 7 to 8, then from 8 to 9. After the cartoon finished, it switched to the documentary, and after the documentary ended, it jumped to the GG segment.

Miss Lin Tingwan, why do you seem to enjoy watching GG so much?

Lin Jianxia took a deep breath and then whispered her advice:

"Wanwan, it's late, you'll catch a cold wearing just your pajamas... It's time to go to your room and sleep, okay?"

"I want to watch TV."

Her answer was still those four short words.

Jiang Yubai, who had been watching the show, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. But upon seeing Lin Jianxia's murderous glare, he immediately changed his tune:

"Uh, well... why don't you go back first? I'll take your Wanwan back later."

"don't want!"

Lin Jianxia immediately rejected it.

Just kidding. It's late at night, and a man and a woman are alone in a room. What if this guy takes advantage of my Wanwan?

She pursed her lips, then suddenly turned and went into the study.

Jiang Yubai was feeling puzzled when his expression froze.

Lin Jianxia came out carrying a thick blanket from the double bed in the study and threw it directly onto the sofa.

"...No, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain.

Lin Jianxia glanced at him:

"Watching TV with Wanwan, can't you tell?"

She carefully wrapped the blanket around Lin Tingwan, then swayed to the other side of Jiang Yubai with satisfaction, squeezed herself onto the sofa, and casually pulled a corner of the blanket over herself.

"I'll stay up with you until whatever time you want to watch TV every night, is that alright?"

Lin Jianxia crossed her arms, her tone slightly smug.

".....Well,"

Jiang Yubai looked down at the wide East African Rift Valley between him and her, and couldn't help but complain:

"Hey... could you come a little closer? It's drafty in the middle..."

"No way!"

Lin Jianxia instinctively retorted, but quickly realized that it was indeed not warm enough.

She looked around, then her eyes lit up. She grabbed a cushion and stuffed it between the two of them.

"See, this way it won't leak anymore, right?"

"...No more leaks."

"Oh, and one more thing," she pulled out a cushion and handed it over with a serious expression, "This will sit between you and Wanwan—don't you dare bully her!"

Jiang Yubai took the cushion with a subtle expression and placed it between himself and Lin Tingwan, just like the other way around.

Lin Tingwan tilted her head to look at it with some curiosity.

With the cushion as a "protection," Lin Jianxia finally felt at ease snuggling closer to him, flattening the soft cushion a bit, then pulling the blanket over herself and comfortably leaning back on the sofa.

Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Jianxia on his left, then at Lin Tingwan on his right, and finally at the cushion sandwiching him between them...

For a moment, I hesitated, unsure of what to say.

The TV show "GG" had finished airing, and they started showing "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws," which was filmed many years ago.

The two actors in the picture, Nicholas Tse and Dicky Cheung, look incredibly young and are devastatingly handsome.

Jiang Yubai leaned back on the sofa, gazing into the distance, and gradually became lost in thought.

So, ...

How did it turn out like this?

At first, he was just following his mother's orders to come and collect rent.

When collecting rent, a classmate begged me in a low voice, promising to extend the rent for another month—is that alright?

After starting school, I discovered that my older sister was pretending to be my younger sister to negotiate. Remembering her previous "rude remarks" to me, I teased her a little - is that okay?

Discovering that an unscrupulous business dared to withhold wages from a beautiful young woman, causing him to be unable to collect rent, he decided to teach her a lesson—is that alright?

My poor sister's cooking turned out to be surprisingly delicious, and the food street I'd been longing to visit was right downstairs from our place, so it was only natural that I moved in—no problem, right?

My younger sister is sick, and only I can cure her. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda, so curing an illness is only three and a half stories—that shouldn't be a problem, right?

Helping a classmate whenever possible is a form of kindness.

I never go back on my word once I've agreed to extend the rent payment; that's a matter of keeping my word.

Seeing through the disguise but choosing to play along—that's wisdom.

It is righteous to teach a business a lesson when you see injustice.

It is proper to eat someone else's food and then use it to treat your sister's illness.

Such a model young man, embodying the virtues of benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness, and trustworthiness, is impossible to find fault with, right?

But why... is it that now it's the older sister and younger sister on either side, the three of them huddled on the sofa in the middle of the night, watching the characters on TV playing ping-pong together?

Which step went wrong...?

A jumble of thoughts gently swirled within them. In the vast living room, only the sounds of fighting from the television and the soft, drawn-out breathing of the girls beside her remained.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yubai suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder.

He was slightly taken aback, snapping out of his daze and instinctively turning his head to look.

Lin Jianxia seemed to have fallen asleep; her little head had drooped down and was gently resting on his shoulder.

Jiang Yubai blinked.

Just as he was lost in thought, a squeezing force suddenly came from the cushion on his right.

Jiang Yubai subconsciously looked to his right...

But then Lin Tingwan leaned forward slightly, her gaze falling curiously on her older sister.
