Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 162 Dare to tell Wanwan and I'll kill you!

Looking at the two people embracing on the sofa, Lin Jianxia blinked, feeling that something was amiss.

Hesitating for a moment, she saw Jiang Yubai looking in her direction winking at her, clearly telling her to leave quickly.

She then suddenly came to her senses and realized what her current situation was.

Lin Jianxia didn't have time to think much. She quickly and carefully lifted the hem of her maid outfit and, like a cat on tiptoe, continued to move outward along the wall.

Only after seeing the black and white figure completely disappear outside the door did Jiang Yubai silently breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if cold sweat was about to break out on his back.

Although he knew it was the maid's skirt obstructing his view, he couldn't help but mutter to himself:

Lin Jianxia, ​​can't you even walk properly? We're almost out the door and you're still causing this commotion...

Composing himself, Jiang Yubai finally released his grip and looked down.

Lin Tingwan tilted her head back, her pale face showing no surprise at being suddenly embraced. Instead, she seemed somewhat reluctant to let go, and even rubbed against him as they parted.

Jiang Yubai casually patted the boy's head and asked:

"What do you want to watch last night?"

There should be a few episodes left of the previous "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Swordsmen" series. I wonder if this guy has secretly watched them all.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan did not pull out her notebook as usual, but simply shook her head slightly.

After spending a lot of time together, Jiang Yubai realized that this meant "anything is fine".

He didn't rush to turn on the TV, but instead carefully examined the girl's face, and couldn't help but smile:

"Tired?"

Lin Tingwan nodded at this point.

Jiang Yubai found it somewhat amusing.

This girl just ran back, and then ran back a little while later saying she couldn't sleep. Now she's leaning against the sofa, and after he hugged her, she's actually sleepy.

Just then, the girl's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she really wanted to catch up on her sleep there.

"Wait, wait, don't go to sleep yet."

Jiang Yubai straightened the girl's head, got up, put on his slippers, and went into the study. A moment later, he came out carrying a blanket.

He sat back on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, then gently helped the girl to rest her head on his lap and covered her with a blanket.

Thankfully, the sofa was extra large, so Lin Tingwan didn't find it too small to lie on.

"Are you comfortable?" He glanced down at her. "Would you like to add a pillow?"

The girl's long, soft hair cascaded over his legs, and her bright eyes gazed at him.

Hmm... judging from this, it seems we don't need it.

Jiang Yubai stared at her for a few seconds, then finally couldn't resist poking her little face again; it felt soft and smooth to the touch.

"Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep, why are you staring at me?"

From this angle, the girl looks exceptionally adorable as she rests her head on his lap.

Her long, flowing hair spread out like silk across his dark pajama bottoms, and her small face nestled against his thigh, rising and falling gently with her breath.

He couldn't help but rub her chin with the back of his fingers again, leaving a soft, warm touch on her delicate skin.

It seems like... no matter how much you tease him, you'll never get tired of it.

But thinking that he needed to let her get a good night's sleep, Jiang Yubai reluctantly stopped.

To his surprise, Lin Tingwan was even more reluctant than he was. She turned her little face and gently rubbed against his fingers, like a dazed kitten looking for its nest, only feeling at ease when she was close to him.

Only after Jiang Yubai glared at her as if he were angry did the girl slowly close her eyes.

Soon, his breathing became even.

Jiang Yubai randomly picked a program and turned the volume down a bit.

I originally just wanted to watch something casually, but as I watched TV, my gaze couldn't help but drift down to the rosy, peaceful sleeping face of the girl on my lap.

I have to say, that little face... is indeed quite pretty.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, a very soft "click" sound came from the doorway.

Jiang Yubai looked up and saw Lin Jianxia, ​​who had changed into casual clothes, tiptoeing into the entrance hall and peeking into the living room.

He wanted to laugh when he saw the guy's sneaky appearance. He pointed to Lin Tingwan on his lap and put his index finger to his lips to signal for quiet.

Lin Jianxia blinked, unconsciously slowing her steps and gently moving to the sofa.

She first glanced at her sleeping sister, Lin Tingwan, who was fast asleep with a slight smile on her lips, as if she were dreaming of something happy.

After watching for a while, Lin Jianxia's gaze gradually turned resentful. She plopped down next to Jiang Yubai and stared at him without saying a word.

Why are you looking at me?

Jiang Yubai lowered his voice and solemnly fabricated a lie.

"Your sister said it's comfortable to use this as a pillow, so I can't do anything about it."

Lin Jianxia gave him a light punch.

—Hey, you dare to hit someone?

Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath:

"Lin Jianxia, ​​are you acting out some kind of soap opera? You were about to sneak out, and you had to kick the shoe rack?"

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but her little face immediately fell:

"That skirt is too big! I... I was so focused on looking over here... I didn't watch my step..."

"If I hadn't been quick-witted and nimble-fingered, you'd be explaining yourself later," Jiang Yu chuckled. "Shouldn't you thank me for that?"

Lin Jianxia felt something was off, but the words seemed impeccable, so she subconsciously replied:

".....Thanks?"

She suddenly realized what she had just said.

What do you mean by quick reflexes? This guy is hugging his own sister, and he still has to thank him!

"Jiang Yubai!" The little hedgehog bristled.

"Hey, hey, hey," Jiang Yubai said irritably, "Keep your voice down, or you'll have to explain yourself if you wake someone up."

Lin Jianxia was so frightened that she immediately fell silent. She could only glare at him fiercely, point to her sister on his lap, and then make a slashing motion across her own neck.

The meaning couldn't be clearer—if you dare let Wanwan find out, you're dead!

Jiang Yubai wasn't afraid at all; he simply leaned back on the sofa and lazily asked:

"Aren't you two going back to your hometown tomorrow? Have you packed your things yet?"

Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth, but finally let out a soft snort, deciding to let bygones be bygones for now, and leaned back into the soft sofa behind her.

"It's all packed up... There wasn't actually that much stuff."

Jiang Yubai looked down at the girl on his lap, then turned his head to look at her:

"By the way... how long are you two going to be gone?"

"What? You're reluctant to part with us?" Lin Jianxia suddenly perked up, proudly raising her chin. "Jiang Yubai, if you're reluctant to part with the dishes I made, just say so. You don't need to beat around the bush like this~"

Jiang Yu made two "hehe" sounds:

"I'm worried about Wanwan. What if her illness relapses if you two stay away for too long?"

Lin Jianxia choked for a moment, then pouted and said:

"It won't be long... about a week, I'll be back on the fourth or fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

"By the way, how are you getting back? By high-speed rail?" Jiang Yubai asked again.

"What's the point of the high-speed rail? Our hometown is in Lincheng, okay?" Lin Jianxia rolled her eyes at him. "It'll only take two bus rides to get there."

"How far is the bus stop?"

"It's not far, it's just over in Qing'an District..." She started to say, but then suddenly became wary. "Hey, why are you asking so many questions?"

"What details? I'm asking about Wanwan's situation." Jiang Yubai's expression remained unchanged.

"...What's going on?"

"What else could it be?" Jiang Yubai said irritably. "It's almost Chinese New Year, the train is crowded and the journey is long, and I'm not around. What if Wanwan gets sick again?"

"It should be alright, right? I'm your older sister..."

Despite saying that, Lin Jianxia felt somewhat uncertain.

Although my younger sister went back home every year during her first and second years of high school, the situation wasn't that obvious in her first year, but by her second year, her tendency to become withdrawn had gradually emerged.

After such a long and tiring journey, with people coming and going on the bus, she really couldn't guarantee anything.

Seeing her hesitant look, Jiang Yubai patiently guided her:

"Okay, since you both have phones now, remember to let us know you're safe every now and then when you get back."

"oh oh....."

"Also, if you notice that Wanwan isn't feeling well, just video call her."

"Uh-huh."

"By the way, a private car is more convenient anyway, and I don't have to transfer to buses everywhere."

"Hmm... Hmm?"

Lin Jianxia nodded subconsciously, then suddenly paused, startled:

"A private car service? What's a private car service?"

"It's one of those pre-booked point-to-point pick-up and drop-off services," Jiang Yubai explained. "You two don't have to transfer to buses and go through all that trouble, and the roads are quieter, so you can be more comfortable every night."

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, her tone softening, and hesitated before saying:

"It's...very expensive, isn't it?"

"No, it's pretty cheap," Jiang Yubai said casually. "I still have a few large coupons in my account. From here to Changliu Village in Qing'an District, it'll probably only cost... around thirty yuan?"

Lin Jianxia's eyes widened: "How did you know it was Changliu Village?"

"You even used the word 'chief' in your address," Jiang Yu laughed. "I've been to Qing'an District before, and this is the only chief there, isn't he?"

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't refute it.

Jiang Yubai glanced at her again, then suddenly said sincerely:

"Don't worry, I definitely won't sneak into your hometown under the cover of darkness and kidnap you two sisters to be my wives."

Lin Jianxia punched him in annoyance, then relaxed.

Forget it, this guy only knows the name of the village, he doesn't know exactly where he lives.

She thought for a moment, then asked:

"By the way, that coupon you mentioned earlier... is it real? It's not like it actually costs a hundred or two, and you're just saying it's cheaper, is it?"

"You've been paying me for so long, it's not like I can't afford it. As long as it's good for Wanwan, I'm willing to spend a hundred or two."

"You're such a drama queen. I told you to watch less romance novels," Jiang Yubai said with a look of disgust. "I'll just show you the order details later. It's only a few dozen yuan anyway. You can pay if you want."

That bastard!

Lin Jianxia was furious. She gritted her teeth and glared at him for a long time before finally having to swallow her anger and nod.

".......OK."

"OK, then the car will pick you up downstairs first thing tomorrow morning." Jiang Yubai immediately made the decision. "Perfect, it's troublesome for you two to take your luggage on the bus, this will save you a lot of trouble."

"luggage?"

Lin Jianxia looked somewhat bewildered.

"Wanwan and I only have one suitcase, that's not much."

"No, no, there's something else I need to give you, but I forgot to mention it before."

Jiang Yubai's face was full of apology.

Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, a vague premonition suddenly rising in her heart:

".....What is that?"

Jiang Yubai didn't answer, but simply turned his head and gestured with his chin toward the corner of the living room.

Lin Jianxia followed his gaze, her eyes slowly widening—

The stack of New Year's goods piled up neatly in the corner was the large pile they had bought together at the supermarket.
