Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 126 Even the thickest school uniform can't withstand hands-on experience!

For the next hour or so, Jiang Yubai didn't pay any attention to the plot of the TV show.

It's not that I lost interest in "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes" as I grew up, but... I just couldn't sit still and couldn't concentrate at all.

Although hugging has become a daily routine, putting your arm around someone's arm is clearly on another level.

When a girl's arms are tightly wrapped around you, and her soft, fragrant body unconsciously presses closer...

It's really hard to keep up.

Whether it was lucky or unlucky, the fluffy pajamas were indeed thick enough, otherwise Jiang Yubai would have been in a real predicament.

Although it wasn't very obvious on ordinary days, he truly felt it now—Lin Tingwan was really something.

In this bittersweet situation, he couldn't say anything.

Whenever he tried to move his body even slightly, Lin Tingwan would tilt her head slightly and look at him with a somewhat bewildered and innocent expression, as if she had no idea that something was wrong.

So Jiang Yubai could only silently swallow back what he wanted to say and remain frozen in place.

He finally found his opportunity just as one episode of the anime finished airing:

"Um, Wanwan... it's getting late, I need to go cook."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan blinked and obediently released her arm from his.

Jiang Yubai immediately felt his tense nerves relax and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Then tonight, you stay here and watch TV for a while, okay? I'm going..."

He paused halfway through his sentence, about to get up, and then sat back down.

"...I'll watch for two more minutes before I go."

"No! Don't pull me back! I... I'm a little hot, um."

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

Five minutes later.

Jiang Yubai, having given up, walked into the kitchen and looked at the half-cooked pots and pans in front of him, his expression rather subtle.

Since Lin Jianxia, ​​this adorable little maid, came into the house, he has never cooked a meal himself.

Firstly, his own cooking skills were really not up to par, and secondly, Lin Jianxia's cooking skills were indeed amazing.

After all, with a maid taking care of three meals a day, who would bother to prepare a pot of pig feed that has no discernible purpose?

Jiang Yubai glanced around the kitchen and silently began to recall.

—How did Lin Jianxia cook before?

Oh right, let's go to the fridge and pick out some ingredients first...

simple.

Today I'm going to make a three-dish meal and a soup for these two sisters to try.

After watching for so long, my cooking skills should have improved by now, right?

After rinsing the rice and cooking it, Jiang Yubai confidently opened the refrigerator door and glanced around.

The room was packed with ingredients, as everything had been purchased before the holiday.

Hmm... First, let's have scrambled eggs with tomatoes, then tofu with scallions, followed by stir-fried pork, and finally seaweed soup.

perfect!

Without further ado, Jiang Yubai took two tomatoes from the refrigerator and then took out three eggs.

He struggled for a long time with the tomato, trying to peel off the skin, but he just couldn't.

After his patience ran out, anger rose in his heart and he became ruthless. He simply stopped peeling the tomatoes, picked up a kitchen knife, and chopped them into small pieces of varying sizes.

When it comes to eggs, it's much easier; just crack an egg into a bowl, stir it, and you're done.

When a bowl of bright red tomatoes and a bowl of golden yellow egg yolk were placed in front of him, he suddenly fell into deep thought:

So, should I put the tomatoes in first, or the eggs?

Eggs have a high water content, so shouldn't we put the eggs in first?

With that in mind, he tentatively turned on the stove and poured the egg mixture into the pan—

"Sizzle..."

By the time Jiang Yubai frantically managed to get the situation under control, the egg mixture in the pan was a patchwork of yellow and black, looking...

It's actually not bad!

Comforting himself with this thought, Jiang Yubai poured the bowl of tomato chunks down his throat with a clear conscience.

With another sizzling sound, he somewhat awkwardly picked up the spatula and began to stir-fry.

To be honest, his talent in cooking is probably about the same as his talent in English. He was already forced to learn how to make fried rice.

Now that Lin Jianxia has been taking care of him for over a month, it's already quite good that he can remember how to use a spatula.

After stir-frying it a few more times, Jiang Yubai's lips twitched as he looked at the half-burnt, half-yellow, somewhat eerie-looking scrambled eggs with tomatoes. He then set it aside for the time being.

Never mind... I'll cook another dish first.

Having gained some confidence from his experience with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, Jiang Yubai decided to try stir-frying pork instead.

This time the process went much more smoothly.

He cut the pork belly into thick slices, and then poured extra oil into the pan before carefully stir-frying it.

Just as I was stir-frying, I suddenly heard a soft noise coming from the kitchen door.

Jiang Yubai subconsciously turned his head and saw Lin Tingwan walking in, dressed in pajamas. He looked at her with some curiosity.

No, why are you in the kitchen instead of staying on the sofa watching TV?

Jiang Yubai assumed she was just hungry, and said while stirring the pan:

"It'll be ready soon. Wanwan, go wait outside first, otherwise your pajamas will smell of cooking oil."

But Lin Tingwan didn't obediently go out. Instead, she took a small step back and stopped at a position that was neither too far nor too close.

The girl tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the spatula in his hand.

Jiang Yubai glanced up at the whirring range hood, thinking that the smoke shouldn't be too much, so he didn't urge her anymore and turned his attention back to the stir-fried pork that was gradually changing color in front of him.

As soon as I turned around, my eyes fell on the pot and I froze.

No, I only looked away for a few seconds, how did it get like this?

With a mental hiss, Jiang Yubai hurriedly threw in the prepared cabbage, poured in a large amount of soy sauce, and started stir-frying it vigorously with a spatula.

By the time he finally plated it, the meat in the pot had already been twisted into a tangled mess.

Seeing that he had turned off the stove, Lin Tingwan came over to take a look at the plate of stir-fried pork.

Jiang Yubai stared at his masterpiece and fell silent for a moment.

In the silence, Lin Tingwan took a pair of chopsticks from the side, picked up a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth.

Jiang Yubai was taken aback at first, and subconsciously asked:

"Um...is it good?"

Lin Tingwan nodded.

can?

Jiang Yubai's eyes lit up, and he looked down at his plate of stir-fried pork.

Could it be that it just doesn't look very appealing, but actually tastes quite good?

Could it be... that I really am a culinary genius!?

He also took a pair of chopsticks, happily picked out a piece of meat that looked slightly better, and couldn't wait to put it in his mouth.

"........."

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Yubai silently dumped the scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the stir-fried pork into the trash can, and sighed.

"Wanwan... wait a little longer, I'll order takeout."

I feel really bad about wasting food, but...

My life is more important.

.....

After ordering a few light dishes on his phone, Jiang Yubai glanced at the kitchen and, instead of being idle, boiled a bowl of brown sugar water that didn't require much skill.

As the amber liquid bubbling in the pot gradually became clear and transparent, his confidence finally returned somewhat.

He brought it back to the living room and watched Lin Tingwan slowly sip it before speaking:

"Okay, the food will be here soon. Go change into your pajamas first, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Also, the weather is getting colder, so don't come in your pajamas next time. Remember to change into something warm and cozy."

Lin Tingwan placed the empty cup on the coffee table, thought for a moment, and then wrote something down.

"Is a maid outfit okay?"

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

No, why is it that when you think of thicker clothes, your first thought is maid outfits?

"No way," he replied, his face darkening.

"Is it not good-looking?"

"....nice."

It would be strange if it didn't look good.

"Then why not?"

Jiang Yubai was truly at a loss. His gaze met the girl's earnestly upturned face, and he began to coax her gently:

"See, didn't I tell you before? If your sister finds out, she'll definitely be angry."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan thought about it carefully and finally agreed with the statement. She then wrote a line on a piece of paper and handed it over:

"Then I'll wear it after my sister is gone."

"........."

No, sister, you have a really strong sense of stealing!

Oh well... as long as Lin Jianxia doesn't find out, let her be happy.

This is also part of the treatment plan.jpg

Well, that's what we'll say if we get caught.

As Jiang Yubai thought this, he suddenly felt at ease.

......

......

Early the next morning.

After turning off the alarm on the bedside table, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but yawn before slowly sitting up.

After getting dressed and washing up, I opened the door and before I could even take a step, a familiar fragrance wafted over.

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he quickly walked to the dining table.

On the table sat the familiar spicy cheese chicken pancakes. Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan, the two sisters, sat side by side at the table, waiting for him to get up and have dinner, just like always.

Good morning, Jiang Yubai.

Lin Tingwan held up her small notebook.

Good morning!

Jiang Yubai chuckled and said okay, then sat down in the chair.

He didn't rush to eat; instead, he looked at Lin Jianxia with a puzzled expression:

"Didn't we say yesterday...we were going out to eat today?"

For some well-known reasons, before Lin Jianxia left last night, Jiang Yubai specifically instructed her that she didn't need to make breakfast this morning and could just buy it outside.

But now...

"I feel much better," Lin Jianxia hummed softly. "You wanted to eat spicy cheese chicken patties, so I made them for you."

Jiang Yubai was still somewhat uneasy:

"Are you sure everything's okay?"

"...I feel a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt anymore." Lin Jianxia pouted.

After a careful look, I noticed that the girl in front of me had a rosy complexion and her lips had regained some color, which was obviously much better than yesterday.

Jiang Yubai was relieved after confirming that the guy wasn't just putting on a brave face.

He picked up the spicy cheese chicken pancake from the table, took a bite, and mumbled:

"Great...at least I don't have to order takeout anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but chuckle:

"Hey, didn't we agree to show off our cooking skills? What happened when I came out and all I saw were you two huddled around takeout boxes?"

"It has already been shown."

Jiang Yubai was biting into a spicy chicken pancake.

"If you don't believe me, ask Lin Tingwan if the stir-fried pork yesterday was delicious."

Lin Jianxia blinked upon hearing this, turned her head to look at her younger sister, and nodded seriously when she saw Lin Tingwan.

"You really did it?" Her eyes widened. "Then why didn't I get to eat any?"

"Do you even know what it means to cook for someone else? They only cooked a tiny bowl, and the two of us finished it in just a few bites."

Jiang Yubai is shameless.

"I want some too!"

Lin Jianxia immediately started to complain.

"It's too late, let's talk about it next time."

Jiang Yubai changed the subject, satisfied.

"By the way, didn't we say yesterday that Lin Tingwan should go to school? What happened now?"

After glaring at him angrily twice, Lin Jianxia took a bite of the spicy chicken patty and mumbled:

"I'll go later tonight... I'll rest for another day."

"Alright."

After finishing breakfast, Lin Jianxia cleaned up the dishes, grabbed a blanket, and sat on the sofa, grinning as she said:

"Jiang Yubai, can I borrow your TV for a bit? Is that alright?"

No, isn't this healing a bit too fast?

Yesterday I was sickly and pitiful, how come I'm curled up on the sofa as soon as I kick off my slippers today?

Jiang Yubai muttered to himself, but only casually replied:

"Whatever you like... Remember to turn on the air conditioner, and make some brown sugar water for yourself to drink after your meal."

"Okay, okay, you're so long-winded."

Hey?

Considering that she was still sick, Jiang Yubai didn't hold it against her. He simply told her, "Remember to call if anything happens," and then took Lin Tingwan out the door.

It was a late autumn morning, and the sky was not yet fully bright.

The plane trees along the roadside had long since lost all their leaves, their branches stretching out bare.

Jiang Yubai reached out to test the coolness of the wind, then turned his head to look at Lin Tingwan beside him:

"Are you cold?"

Lin Tingwan shook her head and leaned closer to him.

As December approached, the girl had already changed into her winter school uniform.

The dark blue fleece-lined coat paired with thick pants made him look round and cute.

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It must be said that Chinese high schools are quite adept at preventing early romantic relationships.

Wearing this round school uniform, no matter how good your figure is, you can't tell. Instead, it gives off a cute and silly vibe.

Jiang Yubai couldn't resist and ruffled Lin Tingwan's hair, which was tied in a high ponytail.

Lin Tingwan looked up at him, showing no sign of resistance. Instead, after he withdrew his hand, she wrapped her arms around his and pulled him into her embrace.

Jiang Yubai: "...?"

He subconsciously tried to pull it out, but couldn't. The sensation he felt made him afraid to move.

No, you really can't tell just by looking, but even the thickest school uniform can't withstand someone touching it!

"Lin Tingwan..."

Jiang Yubai's face was full of black lines.

The girl didn't respond, but silently followed in his footsteps.

"...Wanwan?"

Lin Tingwan then looked up at him.

"This is how we walk..."

Jiang Yubai carefully considered his words and said tactfully,

"If my classmates see this... it won't have a good impact."

Lin Tingwan blinked, her gaze lingering on his reddened ears for a moment before reluctantly releasing her arms from his tight embrace and gently grasping his wrist instead.

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

Well, holding hands... is better than linking arms.
