Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 179 Why did you put the hair tie on my wrist?

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.

Rarely woken by the long-awaited alarm clock, Jiang Yubai rubbed his eyes, yawned, and sat up.

After getting dressed, washing up, and getting ready, I opened the door, and the familiar aroma of breakfast immediately wafted over.

The two sisters were already sitting at the dining table, waiting.

Good morning!

Jiang Yubai greeted him with a smile, receiving a pouty "Good morning" in return, as well as a note in his small notebook that read "Good morning, Jiang Yubai".

Today is the first day of the second semester of senior year, and also the first day for Lin Jianxia who transferred here.

Lin Tingwan was naturally wearing a winter school uniform, while Lin Jianxia was wearing a simple set of casual clothes.

Today she definitely can't wear her younger sister's school uniform like before; she'll have to go to the academic affairs office to report and get the uniform and textbooks again.

After finishing their breakfast, they checked everything they needed to bring again, and once they were sure everything was alright, the three of them went out together.

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the streets still retained the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.

Spring Festival couplets were still pasted on the lintels of the roadside shops, and a few even had small signs that read "Open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year".

It's tough being a senior high school student; other shops open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, but they have to go to register on the seventh.

On the sidewalk, Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was looking around on his left, and then at Lin Tingwan, who was quiet on his right, and felt a rather subtle feeling in his heart.

Usually, the children who come to school with me are either my older sister or my younger sister, but this is the first time that the two of them have come together.

Perhaps his gaze was too obvious, because Lin Jianxia squinted and said, "What are you looking at?"

This time, Jiang Yubai didn't argue with her. He just tilted his head and looked her over, then exclaimed, "Wow! It's not easy for our Miss Lin to be nervous?"

"Who's nervous! Who's nervous! Who's nervous!"

As expected, the little hedgehog's fur stood on end.

Jiang Yubai remained silent, simply gazing at her with great interest.

After staring for a while, Lin Jianxia finally deflated, tugged at her backpack strap, and mumbled, "It's not that I'm nervous, it's just... it's just... okay, I'm just nervous, so what!"

"I didn't say anything," Jiang Yubai said with a smile. "It's only human nature."

Lin Jianxia was just a little surprised that this guy, who never says anything nice, could actually comfort people. Then she heard him say leisurely, "I was just as nervous when I graduated from kindergarten and started elementary school for the first time. It's normal, don't feel embarrassed."

She even paused for two seconds, then suddenly widened her eyes: "Jiang Yubai! Are you trying to comfort me or insult me? Are you calling me a primary school student?!"

"Oh, you're not stupid after all, you actually recognized it?"

"?"

'

After getting two cat-like punches for his sharp tongue, Jiang Yubai said irritably, "Seriously, how many times have you walked this road? It's not like you're really transferring schools, why are you so nervous?"

Lin Jianxia ignored him and walked forward angrily.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and finally concluded that girls are just shy, so he changed the subject: "By the way, is transferring schools in the senior year of high school a big deal? Will it affect the college entrance exam or anything?"

"I don't want Wanwan and I to graduate, only for you to have to repeat a year, and then you'll have to call us seniors when you see us in the end."

Lin Jianxia rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this: "Pah! Senior, my foot! You're dreaming!"

She paused for a moment, then explained, "It won't have any impact, because it's a transfer within the same province and city, and the two schools are sister schools, so the procedures will be easier."

"Plus, I was on leave of absence before, so my student status was still active and there weren't any problems with the process."

Now that Lin Jianxia had said so, Jiang Yubai felt relieved.

He turned his head to look at Lin Tingwan, who was walking quietly beside him: "Where's Wanwan?"

Lin Tingwan blinked her eyes and looked up at her.

"Um... what I mean is, if I have to go to school every day from now on, will my body be able to handle it?"

Although the two sisters had already agreed on it beforehand, Jiang Yubai was still a little worried.

After all, Lin Tingwan seemed to be in good condition recently, but he was actually not very confident.

No matter what, this is a kind of illness, but the person doesn't need injections or medicine every night, and just wants to be hugged while sitting down...

He's not some Tang Monk's flesh, and besides, you have to eat Tang Monk's flesh to achieve immortality. It's really a bit unrealistic that he can cure diseases with just a hug.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan thought for a moment, then took out a notebook from her bosom, wrote something down, and handed it to him to see.

Jiang Yubai reached out and took it; on it were three neatly written small characters: "It's okay."

After looking at it for a few seconds, Jiang Yubai handed back the notebook and said with some concern, "Well... Wanwan, if you feel unwell at school, just let me know and I'll ask for leave for you."

"

Lin Jianxia, ​​who had been quietly listening nearby, frowned upon hearing this, reached out and nudged him, saying with dissatisfaction, "Hey, why didn't you offer to ask for leave for me when I was nervous?"

Xia, what are you up to now?

Jiang Yubai looked back speechlessly, only to meet Lin Jianxia's gaze.

But as soon as their eyes met, he was slightly taken aback.

Those eyes looked at me with genuine nervousness, and even a hint of barely perceptible timidity.

The words I was about to say in a playful argument were all swallowed back.

Jiang Yubai paused for a moment, then lowered his voice to comfort her, "Sure, if you're really nervous, I'll help you ask for leave."

"

Lin Jianxia clearly hadn't expected Jiang Yubai to say something like that.

She blinked, then suddenly turned her head away abruptly: "I...I don't need your help...I'll ask for leave myself if something comes up..."

No, didn't you ask that question yourself?

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't resist and gently tugged at the guy's high ponytail.

"Jiang Yubai! Are you a primary school student?!"

My hair is all messed up!

Lin Jianxia yelled at him a couple of times, but seeing that this guy's skin was so thick it could be bulletproof, and he had a smug little expression on his face, she gritted her teeth in anger and simply took off her hair tie, intending to tie it up again.

He instinctively reached for it in his mouth, then paused, pursed his lips, and said, "Hey, Jiang Yubai."

"What for?"

"Hand out."

Jiang Yubai stretched out his hand, completely bewildered.

Lin Jianxia's lips curled slightly. She took his hand and was about to place the hair tie in his palm when she suddenly paused—

As if possessed, the hair tie was put on his wrist.

Jiang Yubai was taken aback at first, then withdrew her hand and looked at her wrist, asking curiously, "Why did you put the hair tie on my wrist?"

Lin Jianxia reached out to fix her hair, saying matter-of-factly, "What? My hands are busy. You messed up my hair, can't I even help you get your hair tie?"

...oh."

Seeing that Jiang Yubai just glanced at his wrist and didn't seem to care much, Lin Jianxia breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Only then did I realize my heart was pounding fiercely.

It's just...it's just a hair tie...

"Hey, Lin Jianxia, ​​you've been tying your hair up for ages, does it really take that long?"

"Girls' hair is so hard to style!"

It must be said that Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan are both exceptionally beautiful.

Normally, it's fine when she's alone, but now that the two sisters are walking on either side of Jiang Yubai as they enter the school gate, they attract almost 100% attention.

Lin Tingwan, who usually only has one sister, suddenly has a twin sister/younger sister who brazenly enters the school gate, leaving the students on the way as if they've seen a ghost.

Lin Tingwan remained quiet, seemingly unaware of the gazes around her.

For some reason, Lin Jianxia felt her ears burning and unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Yubai.

Lin Jianxia finally let out a long sigh of relief when she reached the stairwell, and stopped in her tracks, saying, "Well... I'll go to the academic affairs office to report first. You and Wanwan go to the classroom first."

Jiang Yubai nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something: "Wait, you've transferred here, are you sure you'll still be in our class? You won't be assigned to another class, will you?"

"Yes~" Lin Jianxia drawled, "It was all arranged when we were going through the formalities."

She suddenly chuckled: "What, are you afraid I won't see you if I transfer to another class?"

"That's true to some extent."

Lin Jianxia's words caught in her throat. She opened her mouth, blinked, and seemed to suddenly freeze.

"6

"—You, you take good care of Wanwan! I'm leaving now!"

She threw down those words, turned around, and ran upstairs, her ponytail swaying in the morning light.

Jiang Yubai watched the guy's hurried figure disappear into the distance, feeling somewhat bewildered.

After thinking for a few seconds without figuring it out, he turned to Lin Tingwan beside him and asked, "What's wrong with your sister?"

Lin Tingwan blinked and gently shook her head.

So you don't even know your sister, right? Then it's probably not my problem.

Thinking this way, Jiang Yubai immediately felt at ease and led Lin Tingwan towards the classroom.

Because it was the first day of school and only the senior students were at school, the school was deserted, and there weren't many people even in the classrooms.

There were two or three students sitting by the window. Some were reading, some were taking a nap on the table, and a few were cleaning.

Jiang Yubai led Lin Tingwan to their seats, but didn't sit down immediately.

He reached out and lightly wiped his hand on the chair, leaving his hand covered in dust.

"Hey, Wanwan, wait here for a moment, I'll go get a rag."

Jiang Yubai whispered a few words and turned to walk towards the sanitation corner at the back of the classroom.

Just as I bent down to pick up the rag, a shadow suddenly darted out from my side.

"Damn it!" Jiang Yubai's hand trembled, and he looked up with annoyance. "Yangzi, what are you doing? You almost gave me a heart attack."

Li Yang scratched his head sheepishly: "Brother Jiang, it's just... it's just that we haven't seen each other for so long during winter break, and I was a little excited to see you all of a sudden."

Jiang Yubai knew exactly what he was thinking and said irritably, "Just say what you have to say... I'll find your homework paper for you later."

"No, no," Li Yang waved his hands repeatedly, lowered his voice and leaned closer, "Brother Jiang, I finished my homework myself this time... I wanted to ask you about something else."

Ok?

This time, it was Jiang Yubai who was puzzled: "Other things? What things?"

"Brother Jiang, is the only reason I'm looking for you is because of math homework?" Li Yang immediately protested.

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment: "That's not necessarily the case... there's also physics involved."

Li Yang: "??????"

"Speak quickly, I still need to clean."

Seeing Jiang Yubai about to leave, Li Yang quickly said, "No, no, no, there's really something wrong..."

'

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Tingwan, who was standing quietly beside her seat. He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jiang, someone saw... saying that there were two Lin Tingwans who followed you into the school. Is it true?"

Jiang Yubai chuckled angrily: "What the hell? Two Lin Tingwans... No, I've only been inside the school gate for a few minutes. Your intelligence network is pretty efficient, isn't it?"

"So it's true?" Li Yang's eyes lit up.

Jiang Yu waved his hand: "You'll find out when the time comes. Come on, I still have to clean up."

Watching his brother Jiang leave, Li Yang sat back down in his original seat with some regret.

Before I could even sit down properly, several people surrounded me.

"Yang-ge, Yang-ge, you two are close, did you find out anything?"

"Hey Yang, got some inside information? Is it reliable?"

Li Yang looked around and waved his hand impatiently: "Brother Jiang didn't say anything, just that we'll find out soon enough. I don't know what that means."

Jiang Yubai was naturally unaware of what was happening behind him.

He washed the rag, carefully wiped down the table and chairs for himself and Lin Tingwan, and then began to tidy up his things.

When it was almost time, the students gradually arrived, but the homeroom teacher, Zhang Shufang, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the head of the teaching department came over, took attendance, and briefly assigned cleaning tasks.

After the cleaning was finished, rustling conversations gradually filled the classroom as students whispered among themselves in their seats.

After all, during the usual morning self-study sessions, the homeroom teacher, Zhang Shufang, would definitely be in the classroom early to supervise, let alone on the first day of school.

But for some reason, I didn't see a single person today.

Until the bell rang for the first class, the classroom was still noisy, and finally, a distinctive set of footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

In the classroom, the students fell silent instantly, like mice encountering a cat, and all their eyes turned to the front door of the classroom.

Wearing glasses and holding a thermos, Zhang Shufang was the first to enter the classroom.

Her face darkened, and she slammed her thermos down on the podium: "What's all the noise about? Making such a ruckus right on the first day of school? Haven't you settled back into your studies yet? You're about to take the college entrance exam, and you have no self-awareness at all!"

But most of the students' eyes weren't on her—everyone was secretly glancing at the unfamiliar girl standing quietly by the door.

After giving her a lecture, Zhang Shufang cleared her throat and softened her tone: "We have a new student transferring to our class this semester. Come on, introduce yourself."

Lin Jianxia took two steps forward, her gaze sweeping lightly across the classroom before pausing slightly in a certain direction: "Hello everyone, my name is Lin Jianxia, ​​Lin as in double wood, Jian as in meeting, and Xia as in summer. I'm very happy to be classmates with you all, and I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Zhang Shufang nodded: "Everyone, let's give them a round of applause."

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the classroom, with several boys clapping particularly enthusiastically.

While clapping along, Li Yang couldn't help but turn his head to look in Jiang Yubai's direction.

Holy crap, so that's how they know the law?

As the applause subsided, Zhang Shufang turned her head and asked, "Lin Jianxia, ​​do you have any preferences regarding seating or anything like that?"

A commotion immediately broke out in the classroom.

Lin Jianxia blinked and subconsciously said, "Anything is fine."

Zhang Shufang nodded, her gaze sweeping around the classroom again before quickly settling on a particular spot: "Hmm, you can sit over there, there's a seat available."

As she spoke, she gestured in that direction: "Zhao Yun, tidy up the things on the table next to you and make room for the new student."

Lin Jianxia's expression froze on her face.
