Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 125 Lin Tingwan's Coquettishness (Thanks to Mo_Ying for the Alliance Leader~)

Is my sister here?

Jiang Yubai replied subconsciously:

"Yes, I'm in bed."

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, and Jiang Yubai suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly said:

"No... oh right... oh no no... I mean, your sister is resting in bed."

Lin Tingwan tilted her head slightly.

Jiang Yubai blinked, and her body, which had suddenly tensed up, slowly relaxed.

What?! You're scaring yourself...

This girl probably wouldn't misunderstand at all...

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"Your sister is on her period and her stomach is a little sore, so she borrowed the bed in the study to rest for a bit."

Lin Tingwan looked at him for a while longer before nodding and walking straight into the room.

In the study.

Lin Tingwan, dressed in fluffy pajamas, sat quietly on a chair by the bed, her clear eyes gazing intently at the person on the bed.

Lin Jianxia, ​​wrapped in a blanket, leaned against the headboard, blinking her eyes and trying her best to put on an innocent look that said, "I'm very well-behaved and I'm very weak."

The older sister didn't speak, and the younger sister didn't hand over her notebook; the two sisters just stared at each other.

In the room, only the soft sound of breathing could be heard for a moment.

Jiang Yubai stood by the door, not quite understanding what was going on, but inexplicably feeling that the air was stagnant and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"Um..."

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Lin Tingwan lower her head and start writing in her notebook.

Jiang Yubai obediently shut his mouth, but he was a little curious about what she would write.

A moment later, Lin Tingwan gently lifted the notebook and pointed it toward the head of the bed.

"Is your sister feeling unwell?"

Upon seeing the sign her younger sister was holding, Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, then sighed heavily, her face contorted with distress as she softly said:

"Yes, Wanwan, you know, my sister always does this around this time, there's just nothing I can do about it..."

She didn't know where the guilt in her heart came from, but as soon as she spoke, her tone softened unconsciously, even carrying a pitiful ending.

Perhaps it was the sincere yet weak tone that had the effect, or perhaps Lin Tingwan was already aware of her sister's chronic illness.

She looked at Lin Jianxia carefully for a few moments, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Then, lowering her head, she wrote again:

"How is my sister?"

"Thank goodness..."

Lin Jianxia nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry about Wanwan, she's much better now."

Lin Tingwan glanced at the stomach medicine on the bedside table, then lingered for a few seconds on the steaming cup of brown sugar water before looking back at her older sister.

"Why isn't my sister going back to her room to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but hum and whine:

"Wanwan is sleeping, isn't she? If I go back like this, I'll definitely disturb your rest."

"So... so Jiang Yubai let me lie down in his study for a while."

Jiang Yubai chimed in from the side:

"Yes, I asked the doctor at the pharmacy, and he said it's just a stomach problem, nothing serious, and it should get better after some rest."

Lin Tingwan nodded her head and picked up her notebook again.

"Then, sister, get some rest."

The girl glanced at the bed one last time before standing up.

"Okay," Jiang Yubai chimed in, "Don't worry about lunch, I'll make it for you later."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia, ​​lying on the bed, blinked and muttered softly:

"You...will do it?"

Faced with this obvious question, Jiang Yubai did not offer any explanation, but simply remained silent for two seconds and then coughed lightly:

"I think after watching you cook so many times, I should have improved a bit by now."

"We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work out, we'll just order takeout."

Lin Jianxia then gave a half-believing "Oh".

After giving some more instructions, Jiang Yubai led Lin Tingwan out of the study.

I glanced at the time. Because I ate breakfast late, I usually had lunch after noon.

It's only a little before 10 o'clock, it's obviously too early to start cooking.

Lin Jianxia occupied the double bed in the study. Although writing papers had nothing to do with the bed, but...

Let this guy rest quietly for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yubai turned his head to look at the girl beside him:

"Want to watch TV?"

After thinking it over, it seems that this is the only thing that can help me pass the time.

Lin Tingwan, as always, did not refuse and nodded slightly to indicate that it was no problem.

So Jiang Yubai happily sat back on the sofa and reached out to turn on the TV.

Before I even started requesting a song, I suddenly felt my clothes being tugged.

As soon as I turned my head, the familiar notebook was handed to me.

"hug."

Jiang Yubai gave him a helpless look, but didn't say anything, just silently opened his arms.

So Lin Tingwan skillfully leaned over and nestled herself into his arms.

The girl nestled her head against his chest and rubbed against him quietly, like a little animal that had found its den.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, loosely interlacing them behind his neck, pressing her body tightly against him.

That familiar lavender scent lingered in the air once more.

Jiang Yubai obediently placed his hands on her waist, showing no intention of taking advantage of her.

But gradually, as the scent of lavender in his arms became clearer, he couldn't help but drift off into a daze.

Since Lin Tingwan was wearing pajamas, she had obviously just gotten up and had at most washed up. It was impossible that she had taken a shower.

Where does this fragrance come from?

Especially the fragrance, which is faint at first and almost imperceptible, but gradually becomes clearer as you hold it.

Isn't it shampoo or shower gel...? It really smells like a young girl.

Speaking of which, Lin Jianxia seems to have this fragrance on her too...

Just as Jiang Yubai was pondering the origin of the fragrance, Lin Tingwan in his arms seemed to have finally replenished her energy. She rubbed against his chest like a kitten before slowly straightening up.

He snapped out of his reverie and casually asked:

"What would you like to watch last night?"

"Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen".

"Want to see this? Okay."

Strangely enough, Lin Tingwan never seemed interested in the currently popular dramas, but she seemed to really like older TV series or animations.

She had been pestered to watch the entire previous season of "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws," and now she's become obsessed with this one.

Jiang Yubai found this movie on demand, but before she could even find a comfortable position, her clothes were tugged at again.

"cold."

Cold?

Jiang Yubai subconsciously tested the temperature in the air with his hand and then looked out the window.

Although it was a sunny day outside, it was late autumn, and the air inside was indeed a bit chilly.

"Don't come over in your pajamas next time... at least dress more properly..."

Jiang Yubai gave a brief instruction and then pressed the power button on the standing air conditioner, setting the temperature to 28 degrees Celsius.

But as soon as I put down the remote control, the notebook was handed to me again.

"I want a blanket."

Looking at the handwriting, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Is it that cold?

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and touched the back of Lin Tingwan's hand.

It feels warm and slightly cool to the touch, like touching a piece of fine mutton fat jade.

Is this considered cold or not cold?

The thought only lingered for a few seconds before Jiang Yubai stood up, said, "Wait a minute, I'll go get it," and headed towards the study.

Lin Jianxia, ​​who was on the bed, was playing with her phone in one hand and drinking brown sugar water in the other. She was clearly startled when he came in.

"You, how did you get in again...?"

Seeing the guy instinctively hide his phone, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but become suspicious.

No, what are you looking at?

This reaction...it's exactly the same as when I was a kid and my parents caught me sneaking around on adult websites?

However, he didn't ask any further questions and casually explained:

"We're watching TV. Your Wanwan gets cold, so I came over to get a blanket."

Lin Jianxia blinked and then slowly said "Oh".

Jiang Yubai took the blanket from the top shelf of the wardrobe and slipped out the door.

Back in the living room, he unfolded the blanket and covered his legs, lifting a corner of it:

"Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tingwan squeezed in and sat down right next to him.

Jiang Yubai was silent for two seconds, then quietly moved half an inch to the side.

Lin Tingwan also moved closer by half an inch.

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

Seemingly noticing his gaze, Lin Tingwan quickly wrote in her notebook and held it up with a serious expression.

"It's drafty."

Are you that afraid of the cold?

Jiang Yubai didn't try to dodge anymore, letting her sit close to him.

Anyway, the girl doesn't mind, so why is he, a grown man, being so coy?

Well, Lin Jianxia is still in the study, frowning and drinking brown sugar water, so she probably won't bother to come and cause him trouble.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Yubai adjusted to a comfortable position and continued watching TV.

To be honest, in Jiang Yubai's mind, if we're talking about the true essence of martial arts, it has to be this "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Swordsmen".

Rainbow Cat is righteous, Blue Rabbit is chivalrous and tender-hearted, and even the villain Black Tiger has a distinct personality and dares to love and hate.

In particular, the line "A man with courage should roam the world with a sword" in the opening theme song once stirred up his blood when he was young, making him wish he could also take up a sword and ride a horse to roam the world.

Unfortunately, this nascent dream of martial arts was soon extinguished due to reports from some parents.

(Lincheng profanity)

However, the plot had only just begun, and Jiang Yubai had already watched it several times.

He turned his head and called out:

"Wanwan?"

Lin Tingwan turned her head slightly, her clear eyes silently gazing at him.

"Is your period... coming?" Jiang Yubai coughed lightly.

Strangely enough, he was able to say those words without batting an eye when facing Lin Jianxia, ​​who was clearly shy and at a loss for what to do.

But when facing the bewildered Lin Tingwan, he seemed a little more uncomfortable.

Upon hearing this question, Lin Tingwan nodded gently, pulled out a notebook from under the blanket, and began to write carefully, stroke by stroke:

"I just arrived today."

You're here today?

Jiang Yubai's brows furrowed unconsciously:

"Will you feel uncomfortable?"

"It will hurt a little."

Jiang Yubai carefully examined the girl's expression, but Lin Tingwan's face remained calm, except that her lip color seemed a little pale, and there was almost no abnormality.

—It seems to be just as Lin Jianxia said...

He thought about it for a moment, but was still worried, and said:

"Then after lunch, I'll make you a bowl of brown sugar water."

Lin Tingwan nodded obediently.

"Oh, and also, you can't eat anything too oily or spicy during this period, and it's best to avoid late-night snacks as well. Keep everything light."

Jiang Yubai wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but the girl beside him seemed to be nodding a beat slower.

"Oh, right, we can't eat chicken wings either. Barbecue is high in oil, which isn't good for your health."

"........."

Lin Tingwan watched him silently.

"You can't eat it." Jiang Yubai emphasized.

Lin Tingwan silently lowered her head and wrote something in the notebook.

Chicken wings.

"You can't eat it," Jiang Yubai said outright.

Chicken wings.

Lin Tingwan wrote it again.

"I really can't eat this..."

Jiang Yubai's tone was somewhat helpless.

Chicken wings.

"Just bear with it for a few more days, okay? It'll be fine after this period, and I'll buy you a few more then."

Chicken wings.

"........."

Chicken wings.

"Okay, okay... chicken wings are fine, but no spice."

Jiang Yubai sighed and finally gave in.

No, Miss Lin Tingwan, just how much do you love chicken wings?!

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly felt a soft touch on my arm.

Jiang Yubai was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look.

The girl beside him had already put away her notebook and was now watching TV intently.

But her arms, which had been neatly placed at her sides, had somehow wrapped around him and were now tightly embracing him.

Jiang Yubai belatedly realized what was happening, and his expression suddenly became somewhat blank.
