Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 112 Sister, Jiang Yubai said he has feelings for you (Thanks to Wanli Nianjianggui_ for being the Alliance Leader~)

Urged silently by the girl's gaze, Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment before leaning forward and taking a bite of the shrimp.

Tender and juicy, with a distinct salty and savory flavor, it was the expected deliciousness.

Just as she swallowed the shrimp, Lin Tingwan held up the familiar notebook in front of her again:

"Is it tasty?"

"tasty."

Jiang Yubai replied subconsciously.

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Tingwan seemed somewhat satisfied as she put away her notebook, and then—

A second peeled shrimp was then offered to his mouth.

Jiang Yubai: "..."

Having learned from the previous experience, Jiang Yubai quickly bit into the shrimp meat this time, feeling rather complicated emotions.

Although I wanted to trade braised pork for shrimp... but Wanwan, isn't your service a little too good?

Peeling shrimp is one thing, but why does it also include a feeding service?

These thoughts crossed his mind, but he saw that Lin Tingwan didn't pick up her chopsticks; instead, she started peeling a third shrimp.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey," Jiang Yubai quickly interjected, "That's enough, that's enough!"

This looks like she's going to keep feeding herself, doesn't it?!

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan paused in her actions, raised her head to look at him, and seemed somewhat confused in her eyes.

"No need to peel them," Jiang Yu chuckled dryly, "I can just pick them up myself..."

As he spoke, he simply placed another piece of braised pork on Lin Tingwan's plate, then took a braised prawn from her plate and gently waved it in front of her:

"Look, like this is fine."

Lin Tingwan looked at the braised pork in her bowl, then at the shrimp he was picking up, and finally nodded gently.

Seeing the girl continue eating in small bites, Jiang Yubai felt a strange sense of regret for some reason.

Speaking of which... if I hadn't spoken up just now, wouldn't I have been able to enjoy the treatment of having beautiful girls peel shrimp for me and feed it to my mouth every time there was shrimp at mealtime?

Oh no, I suddenly feel a little regretful, what should I do?

Of course, Jiang Yubai was just thinking about it.

After all, this is the cafeteria, and even if there aren't many people around... it's still in public.

If this happens a few more times and someone sees them, the rumor that "Jiang Yubai and Lin Tingwan are dating" in the class will probably be impossible to suppress.

After all, it's understandable that we could study together in the small pavilion on the back hill, but how can we wash our hands of openly feeding each other in the cafeteria?

He couldn't very well say that he and Lin Tingwan were just friends, could he?

These days, nobody believes you when you tell the truth.

That being said...

They often feed each other, study together in the study every day, and hug each other from time to time...

Can he still be considered "completely innocent"?

I guess so?

During the rest of his lunch break, Jiang Yubai pondered this troubling question.

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

In the afternoon classes, the remaining monthly exam papers were also handed out all at once.

Mathematics and physics were as stable as ever, chemistry was slightly higher, and biology was slightly lower—all of these were expected.

What truly surprised Jiang Yubai was that his Chinese and English scores were significantly higher than in the last monthly exam.

Their grades, which were originally hovering around the passing mark, are now all in the triple digits.

Meanwhile, Lin Ting... oh no, I should say Lin Jianxia's test papers were also handed out, and her progress was equally remarkable.

In stark contrast to Jiang Yubai, Lin Jianxia's Chinese and English were exceptionally outstanding, while her previously dismal math and physics scores showed considerable improvement.

So during the last class meeting on Monday, Zhang Shufang, the homeroom teacher, praised the two of them highly.

Just as the school bell rang, Jiang Yubai was packing his things when a familiar figure darted up behind him.

"No, what are you doing?" Jiang Yubai said irritably, "Are you trying to scare me?"

Li Yang, standing to the side, spoke up somewhat sheepishly:

"Sorry, sorry, Brother Jiang, I just got a little excited!"

"...Get to the point."

Li Yang rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat expectant:

"Brother Jiang, how much did your Chinese and English scores improve?"

How many points did you improve?

When this topic came up, Jiang Yubai immediately perked up, counting on his fingers:

"Look, your score in Chinese was 92 in the last monthly exam, and this time it was 103, which is exactly 11 points."

"My English score was 85 last time, and this time it was exactly 110, an improvement of 25 points."

As Li Yang listened, his expression finally broke down, and he couldn't help but lean closer and say:

"No way, Brother Jiang, are you cheating? We were about the same in Chinese and English before, how did you suddenly slip up?"

He became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, his tone bitter:

"Brother Jiang, didn't you say before that you never studied English? How come you suddenly improved so much?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yubai was both amused and exasperated.

That's right, my brother is also terrible at humanities subjects. If it weren't for Chinese and English being compulsory subjects, he would never want to touch them.

Unfortunately, his other subjects weren't particularly outstanding either. In order to ensure he could get into a top-tier university, his family practically had to whip him to keep pushing him to study.

Li Yang himself was not convinced and kept shouting to Jiang Yubai every day, "This time I must finish memorizing all the English words," but he was always only enthusiastic for a short time and would give up after a few days.

Then comes the endless cycle:

Results come out – learn from the mistakes and shout slogans – work hard for a few days – get started

Next time the results come out, we'll do it again.jpg

"What do you mean by 'rushing up without a sound'?" Jiang Yubai said, amused. "Didn't you see me memorizing vocabulary words earlier?"

"Who knew you could keep memorizing it? I thought you were just as easily distracted as me, Brother Jiang."

Li Yang made a comment, then leaned closer expectantly:

"Hey Jiang, can you share some tips? How did you improve your score so quickly?"

How did you improve your score so quickly?

If you had an incredibly beautiful girl by your side, sitting next to you every day giving you questions and explaining your mistakes, and her voice was so pleasant to hear.

Not only that, you'll get a reward after memorizing a week's worth of words, and they'll even blush and ask you what you want as a reward after thirty days...

With this kind of setup, even a person in a vegetative state could probably pass the CET-4 (College English Test Band 4).

However, this was indeed something that couldn't be said openly, so Jiang Yubai coughed lightly:

"What else can we do? Just memorize vocabulary and do practice questions."

Li Yang was still persistent and moved even closer:

"Really, Brother Jiang? Don't keep your secrets to yourself! Everyone in the class is saying you must have some amazing method to boost your grades."

Jiang Yubai was amused by these words:

"You think this is some kind of cultivation novel? Did you find some rare treasure and break through three major realms in one go?"

Wait, everyone's spreading this...

He stroked his chin, then suddenly asked with some curiosity:

"By the way, Yoko, doesn't anyone think I cheated or anything?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang thought for a moment and then said tactfully:

"Brother Jiang...at least as far as I know, no."

Jiang Yubai nodded, realizing that his question seemed a bit silly.

After all, it was just a monthly exam, and his score wasn't so outrageous as to jump from 80 to 140.

Even if some classmates were secretly wondering about it, they probably wouldn't say it out loud.

After all, the kind of low-EQ villain who jumps out to criticize others for doing well on exams probably only exists in movies...

Besides, given Jiang Yubai's glorious record of "sending off a classmate with just one table," even if someone really thought that, they probably wouldn't have the guts to say it.

Most people would probably just think...

Having a beautiful girl as your deskmate is really useful.jpg

"alright,"

Jiang Yubai stuffed the last two test papers into his schoolbag and finally spoke.

"Didn't Master Zhang already tell you the secret? Your new deskmate's English is pretty good too, isn't it?"

Li Yang pondered for a few seconds with a complex expression, then suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had made up his mind:

"Okay! Tomorrow I'll have him supervise my vocabulary memorization! Anyone who doesn't memorize them is a dog!"

After making the oath, Li Yang visibly relaxed and waved at him:

"Well, Brother Jiang, I won't bother you any longer, I'll be going now!"

"Okay, bye-bye."

Jiang Yubai nodded, stuffed the last test paper into his schoolbag, and then stood up.

He had just turned around when he found that Lin Tingwan had already packed her things and was standing next to his seat with her backpack on, silently staring at him.

stare--

Wait a minute... when did this girl start maintaining this posture?

Jiang Yubai then belatedly realized what Li Yang meant by his last words, "I won't bother you anymore."

No wonder...

He chuckled and shook his head, then said:

"Let's go home."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan obediently followed behind him.

On the way home.

Jiang Yubai took the schoolbag from Lin Tingwan's shoulder, put it on, and asked:

"By the way, how are you feeling today? Are you adjusting well?"

Lin Tingwan tilted her head up and nodded gently.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yubai said in a light tone:

"That's good. Your sister should be very happy to know."

As soon as he finished speaking, he vaguely felt that he had forgotten something.

What did I forget...?

"Oh my god!"

Jiang Yubai slapped his forehead and quickly took his phone out of his bag.

Damn it, I forgot to keep in touch with Xia.

He turned on his phone and opened QQ. As soon as he clicked into the chat box named "Little Hedgehog," a bunch of messages popped up.

[Little Hedgehog]: What do you want to eat? Tell me.

[Little Hedgehog]: Hey, hey, hey, Moshi Moshi?

[Little Hedgehog]: Strange... Is my phone out of gas?

This was when Lin Jianxia asked him what he wanted for dinner. He had just said stir-fried pork with chili peppers when his teacher came in, which startled him so much that he quickly hid his phone.

Well, then he forgot about it and never took it out again.

[Little Hedgehog]: Hey, hey, it's noon. What happened to our regular contact?

[Little Hedgehog]: It's afternoon! Where are you?!

The last message was posted just ten minutes ago:

[Little Hedgehog]: I'm going to cook for you guys, you can eat when I get back.

[Little Hedgehog]: You only said stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and I was free to improvise the rest. Don't complain when you get back!

Jiang Yubai's lips unconsciously curled up slightly as he typed a message back to her with one hand.

【江碧鸟逾白】: I'm back, I'm back. I didn't have time to send a message before.

[Jiang Bi Niao Yu Bai]: Listen, you're in great shape this evening, no need to worry.

After waiting for about ten seconds, Lin Jianxia still didn't reply, probably because she was cooking.

Jiang Yubai turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket. Just as he turned his head, he saw Lin Tingwan looking at him curiously.

"Your sister was worried about you," he explained with a smile. "She just let me know she's safe."

"Oh right, she's already started cooking, so we can eat as soon as we get back, so..."

"Are you still buying the chicken wings?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tingwan suddenly stopped and nodded emphatically at him.

"Okay, okay," Jiang Yubai said, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Buy, buy, buy."

After staring at him for a couple more times, Lin Tingwan suddenly took a step toward him and grabbed his wrist with her small hand.

Jiang Yubai blinked and subconsciously shook his arm.

But the evening was very tense, and a pair of beautiful eyes were staring at him.

stare--

"I won't run away, I'll really buy it for you... Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Yubai shook his head, somewhat amused.

After passing through the alley and walking two more blocks, you will arrive at the snack street at the entrance of Jinxiu New Village.

Just as he expected, after the typhoon passed, the vendors, who had been waiting for a long time, set up their stalls early, and the whole street was full of life.

Jiang Yubai stopped in front of the familiar barbecue stall:

"Auntie, three skewers of chicken wings, and nothing else... nothing else."

"Okay~"

The stall owner smiled and replied, "Two skewers of mild spice and one skewer of medium spice, right? I'll also give you two skewers of grilled mushrooms as a bonus."

Jiang Yubai blinked:

"That's great, thank you so much, Auntie."

"That's right," the aunt said while flipping the skewers. "The typhoon has delayed things for too long. If we don't bring back some regular customers, the business will really go under."

"Don't worry, Auntie," Jiang Yubai said with a smile, "the person next to me is your number one fan of chicken wings."

"Oh, I know, I know. Auntie should thank you for your frequent patronage."

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Tingwan with a smile.

"Little girl, would you like to try something a bit spicier today? I've been bored these past few days, so I've modified the recipe a bit."

Jiang Yubai was about to say something when he saw Lin Tingwan stare at the chicken wings for a few seconds and then suddenly nod slightly.

"Okay~"

He abruptly turned to look at the girl beside him, a look of astonishment unconsciously appearing on his face.

—No, could it be that the reason for the improvement in the condition is really the chicken wings?

—Why are they all nodding now?!

After receiving the chicken wings, Lin Tingwan blew on them a few times and then eagerly began to take small bites.

Jiang Yubai took the little glutton upstairs. As soon as he took out his key, opened the door, and stepped into the entryway, he saw Lin Jianxia dart out of the living room.

She circled her younger sister, examining her carefully from head to toe until she was completely unharmed, then let out a long sigh of relief and said softly with a pained expression:

"Wanwan... I was so worried about you..."

Lin Tingwan looked at her, blinked, and suddenly stepped forward to give her a gentle hug.

Lin Jianxia's expression froze for a moment, then she grinned foolishly, nuzzling her younger sister's head contentedly like a cat being stroked.

"Does Wanwan miss her older sister?"

Jiang Yubai, watching the guy's silly, grinning expression, suppressed a laugh and said:

"I told you it would be fine. What could happen if I was watching from the side?"

It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it; the moment he did, Lin Jianxia's eyebrows furrowed instantly:

"Jiang Yubai! What did you say?! You agreed to contact me anytime. I don't need you to contact me every two hours, but you don't have to contact me all day after school!"

".....I was wrong."

Jiang Yubai instantly slid to his knees.

"Oh right, I bought you chicken wings."

Lin Jianxia released her younger sister, took the chicken wing, and snorted:

"At least you still have a conscience... The ribs will be ready in ten minutes. I'll take my sister back first, and I'll be right back."

After saying that, he took Lin Tingwan's hand and walked outside.

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

In the small room.

The two sisters sat down on the edge of the bed, and Lin Jianxia couldn't wait to ask:

"Wanwan, how are you? Are you adjusting well to school? Is anyone bullying you?"

Lin Tingwan thought for a moment and then gently shook her head.

But then she glanced at her older sister, took out a notebook from her pocket, wrote a line, and handed it over.

Lin Jianxia didn't think much of it at first, assuming that her younger sister wanted to share some of her school experiences.

But when she saw the handwriting on the notebook clearly, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

On the small notebook, there was only one line of neat handwriting:

"Sister, Jiang Yubai said he's interested in you."
