Sister, can I be a maid too?

"The main problem is that the soles of my shoes are a bit slippery, and the weather is bad today. It seems like water tends to accumulate in these grout lines. I noticed that when I walked over just now..."

Jiang Yubai hadn't thought anything of it at first, but after hearing the little hedgehog mutter a lot, he finally couldn't help but cast a subtle glance at it.

Lin Jianxia stared intently at the torrential rain outside the umbrella, her gaze drifting like raindrops scattered by the wind, refusing to fall on his face.

After she finished speaking in one breath, and waited for a long time without receiving a response, she secretly turned her head slightly to the side.

"........"

"........"

Eyes facing each other.

Lin Jianxia immediately shrank her neck: "If you're not happy... then forget it."

“Fine, go ahead and pull me,” Jiang Yubai said, both amused and exasperated. “But could you at least look where you’re going? If you fall, I can’t carry you.”

"Oh oh oh oh..."

Lin Jianxia quickly turned her head to look at the road, feeling her heart pounding against her eardrums.

After a long while, she belatedly muttered:

"I'm not heavy at all, okay...?"

God's.

Jiang Yubai was secretly pleased, suddenly feeling that the rain was actually quite nice.

He chuckled for a moment, then tilted his head and said slowly:

"Hey, remember to let go of my hand when we get close to the school gate—otherwise, it will be said that we entered the school hand in hand."

He himself didn't care too much, but he was mainly afraid that the little hedgehog next to him would get angry and sulk for half a day after hearing the rumors.

After a long while, a soft sound came from beside me:

"......oh."

.....

Jiang Yubai shook the water droplets off his umbrella outside the classroom door, folded it up, put it in the storage box by the door, and then went into the classroom.

Although it was pouring rain outside, most of the students were already seated in the classroom.

However...

The atmosphere today was different from usual; it was as quiet as a study session, with everyone engrossed in writing, the only sound being the scratching of pens on exam papers.

No wonder, the teachers didn't hold back at all during the five-day National Day holiday, assigning more and more homework each time.

It's clear that they really don't want the students to relax too much.

Jiang Yubai looked around and felt a strange sense of nostalgia.

Back in the day, I was one of them, except that I was usually writing furiously on English exam papers.

After all, you can make up something to get by in Chinese, but if you can't understand English, you just can't understand it, and there's nothing you can do about it.

But now...

He turned his head and glanced at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was tidying up her desk, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.

After all, who hasn't thought that when you're struggling with a sea of ​​questions and feeling miserable at school, a beautiful girl will suddenly force you to memorize vocabulary words and tell you with a blushing face that there will be a reward if you memorize them?

However, he truly never expected that this would actually come true.

Indeed, learning with positive feedback is the most efficient.

Of course, he didn't really care about any reward; he just genuinely wanted to learn English well.

After tidying up her seat for a while, Zhang Shufen's signature footsteps echoed in the corridor.

A suppressed commotion instantly erupted in the classroom.

"I'm coming!"

"Quickly collect it!"

"Let me glance at the multiple-choice/fill-in-the-blank section—!"

The students, who had been engrossed in writing, suddenly started working in a flurry, startled manner, like a flock of startled birds.

Some hid the exam papers, some sent messages, and others desperately tried to find a few more multiple-choice questions to practice with...

Master Zhang stepped into the classroom, glanced around, and only placed the thermos cup she was holding steadily on the podium after the classroom had fallen silent.

She didn't go down and arrest them one by one.

Having served as a homeroom teacher for over a decade, she knew exactly how much homework each subject teacher assigned during the National Day holiday and whether the students could finish it all.

Assigning this amount is less of an inspection and more of a way to keep these kids on their toes, preventing them from getting too wild and losing their focus.

"Everyone's quiet now?"

She glanced at it again, her tone calm.

"The holiday is over, you've had your fun, it's time to get back to work."

"We've already notified you that you'll be taking the second diagnostic test as soon as you get back. Review the question types you practiced repeatedly in your National Day homework."

"The exam will be held in this class. There is no need to change the exam room. Now everyone stand up, pull out your desks, keep a row of space, clear the desks and desks, and put all personal belongings in the open space at the back of the classroom."

She heard rustling sounds coming from below, and then she raised her hand and tapped on the podium:

"Hurry up and finish setting up the exam room within ten minutes. The exam will start promptly at 8:30. You can use the remaining time to study on your own."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of table and chair legs scraping against the ground began to rise and fall.

Jiang Yubai sighed and stood up as well.

He didn't care about taking exams or anything like that; the main problem was that once the table was pulled up, he couldn't pass notes anymore.

"Give me the book, and we'll put it in the back together."

He turned his head and said.

Lin Jianxia was about to walk away when she heard this, she blinked and obediently placed the textbooks and dictionary in his hands.

It's exactly 8:30.

As the whistle blew, Jiang Yubai began to write.

The first subject was Chinese. After completing the first part, which focused on the application of Chinese characters, we quickly moved on to the second part, which focused on reading modern texts.

Jiang Yubai usually just guesses when it comes to these kinds of questions, since nobody knows what the author is trying to express.

But thanks to Teacher Lin's hard work and guidance, the question types that I used to have no idea how to approach now seem to be gradually becoming more systematic.

— Briefly analyze the linguistic features of the underlined parts of the text.

It was written using personification, of course, to describe...

—Analyze the expressive features of this article.

Using the first person makes it feel natural and intimate...

To be honest, Master Zhang wasn't lying. Most of the questions on this month's exam were from the National Day homework, and Lin Jianxia had explained each one in detail.

Of course, although I've mentioned it before, getting points in Chinese is all about luck...

Although Jiang Yubai wrote a very full piece, it's hard to know how accurate it is.

I wrote until I reached the essay section, and I still had more than an hour left.

The topic this time was quite conventional: write an essay on the theme of "close friend".

Jiang Yubai breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the question in front of him, when a thought suddenly popped into his mind:

How should Lin Tingwan's speech be written?

With such touching communication skills, how is this girl going to manage to write 800 words?

You can't just hand in your paper by saying, "Jiang Yubai is my best friend," can you?

After thinking for a moment without figuring it out, Jiang Yubai shook his head, deciding not to get distracted anymore, and began to write seriously.

When the whistle finally blew to signal the end of the exam, Jiang Yubai, who had been in a daze for almost twenty minutes, finally came to his senses.

After handing in his exam paper from back to front, he had just stood up when he saw Li Yang approaching him with a grin.

"Brother Jiang, shall we go eat?"

Li Yang winked and lowered his voice:

"I heard that the food today is much better than the previous times!"

This can be considered a hidden benefit of private schools.

During major exams for senior high school students, the school cafeteria always makes a point of improving the food, which has almost become an unwritten rule in the school.

"Okay."

Jiang Yubai casually replied, then suddenly thought of something:

"By the way, aren't you going to ask me for the answers?"

"Check the answers?"

Li Yang was taken aback for a moment, then his expression became somewhat subtle:

"Brother Jiang, I'll definitely come over to check my math with you, but as for Chinese..."

"It's no use if we two terrible chess players argue it out. What if you give me A and I give me C and we get all red in the face arguing, and the answer is B?"

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

...I don't want to know the answer, I just want to enjoy the fun of arguing about Chinese language questions, okay?

Forget it.

He was about to speak when he saw Li Yang shrug and add:

“It’s not that you can’t match them, Jiang Ge, you should match them with your deskmate, he’s the real whiz in Chinese.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai subconsciously glanced at the seat next to him and suddenly let out a soft "Eh".

He had assumed Lin Jianxia had already gone to eat, but upon closer inspection, he found the girl still standing at her seat, fiddling with something on the table.
