Sister, can I be a maid too?

He was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene inside the room.

In the dim light, Lin Tingwan sat curled up on the bed with her back against the wall, her hands tightly hugging her knees, her face buried in her arms, showing no reaction to their coming into the room.

Jiang Yubai's heart tightened suddenly, and he blurted out instinctively:

"Late night?"

Upon hearing this address, the curled-up girl trembled slightly, and then finally reacted.

She slowly raised her head, revealing a pair of moist and bewildered eyes, staring blankly at Jiang Yubai.

Chapter 101 I Came at the Wrong Time?

Seeing that Lin Tingwan had made a move, Jiang Yubai breathed a slight sigh of relief.

What he feared most was that Lin Tingwan, seeing the two of them hadn't returned for a long time, would come out looking for them alone...

That would be a real problem.

Since the person is still in the room and is responding, that makes things easier.

Lin Jianxia, ​​enduring the pain in her ankle, explained somewhat nervously:

"Wanwan... because of the typhoon, the school kept delaying letting us out until now..."

Lin Tingwan looked at her older sister, then at Jiang Yubai, who also looked like she had been pulled out of the water. A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, followed by a faint glimmer of light.

She suddenly moved her body and got off the bed, standing barefoot on the floor, and looked up at Jiang Yubai.

Lin Jianxia hadn't figured out what her sister was going to do when Jiang Yubai suddenly realized and blurted out:

"Wet! I'm soaking wet—"

Before he could finish speaking...

Lin Tingwan had already thrown herself into his arms, wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

The girl seemed afraid he would disappear, so she hugged him tightly and pressed her whole body against him, burying her face in his soaked clothes.

Jiang Yubai froze for a moment, opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He also didn't dare to look at Lin Jianxia's expression.

—Hey Lin Tingwan, a hug is fine, but you're hugging way too tightly.

—Your sister is still watching....

These jumbled thoughts flashed through his mind, and Jiang Yubai finally sighed silently, raised his arm, and loosely embraced the girl's soft waist.

—This guy... must be worried sick....

—Never mind, I already explained it to Lin Jianxia before, so it should be fine.

Meanwhile, Lin Jianxia stared blankly at the scene before her, unable to react for a moment.

Several seconds later, she belatedly blinked, a rather subtle expression gradually appearing on her face.

Although Jiang Yubai had mentioned to her a long time ago that her younger sister would occasionally ask him for hugs, and she had agreed...

Seeing this scene with my own eyes still left me with an indescribable... subtle feeling.

And more importantly—

Hugging is one thing, but why did Wanwan hug him first and not her own older sister first?

She's soaking wet and her feet are still hurting. Standing there all alone, it's really embarrassing!

Aren't you going to do anything for your sister who went through all that trouble to come find you?!

Perhaps sensing her sister's inner turmoil, Lin Tingwan finally released her grip on Jiang Yubai's arm and turned to look at her sister.

Although Lin Jianxia was still silently complaining in her heart, when she met her sister's wet eyes, her complaints instantly turned into heartache.

"Silly Wanwan."

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and opened her arms:

"It's just that the typhoon was too strong, so the school made us wait a little longer..."

Lin Tingwan tilted her head and gave her older sister a hug as well.

Before Lin Jianxia could even savor the dependence from her younger sister, she suddenly felt the arms around her back loosen.

Lin Jianxia: "......."

Too short!

Why are you so friendly and attentive to Jiang Yubai, but so dismissive of your sister?

.......

"Oh, right."

Jiang Yubai turned to look at Lin Jianxia:

How's your foot?

When he asked that question, Lin Jianxia came to her senses and suddenly remembered that she was still an injured person.

She tried to move her ankle slightly, and her brows immediately furrowed:

"It still hurts a little..."

Feeling his sleeve being tugged, Jiang Yubai lowered his head and met Lin Tingwan's somewhat puzzled gaze.

"It's nothing serious, I just twisted my ankle on the way back."

After giving a brief explanation, he looked at Lin Jianxia again:

Do you have a first-aid kit or medicine for sprains and bruises at home?

Lin Jianxia shook her head blankly.

"No?" Jiang Yubai touched his chin. "It's best to treat this kind of sprain as soon as possible, otherwise it will hurt for the next few days."

He was on the school's soccer team in junior high, so sprains and strains were commonplace for him; he was already experienced.

Not only that, but he even kicked the soccer ball at someone...

cough.

Without medicine, things will be a bit difficult, and it's not easy to go out and buy things in this weather.

and many more......

Jiang Yu blinked and pulled over a chair for Lin Jianxia to sit down:

"Please sit here and don't move. I think I brought a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray with me before. I'll go find it."

After giving a few casual instructions and turning on the air conditioner, Jiang Yubai headed for the door.

What he didn't notice was that Lin Tingwan, who was standing to the side, subconsciously took a small step forward after he turned to leave, but then paused at the last moment.

As Jiang Yubai took out his keys and entered his own home, he couldn't help but shiver.

I didn't feel it when I was running around in the rain, but now that I've stopped, my soaked clothes are clinging to my body, and a bone-chilling cold suddenly surges up.

He didn't pay much attention, went into the bathroom to grab a towel and quickly dried his hair, before starting to rummage through drawers and cabinets in the living room.

...Strange, he clearly remembered having a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray, where did he put it?

On the other side.

As the warm air blew, the temperature in the room gradually rose.

Lin Jianxia sat down in the chair, looking at her younger sister staring blankly towards the door, and couldn't help but ask with some concern:

"Late night?"

Lin Tingwan's gaze remained fixed on the closed door, and she did not respond.

"Late night?"

She called out again, and Lin Tingwan seemed to be startled awake, turning her head somewhat blankly to look at her sister.

Seeing her like this, Lin Jianxia became even more worried:

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Lin Tingwan lowered her eyes and seemed to be silent for a while before taking out her small notebook and pen from her pocket, writing a line and handing it to her sister.

"I thought my sister wasn't coming back."

The handwriting was written with some force.

"Wanwan!" Lin Jianxia said angrily, "You—"

She seemed to want to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her small lips slowly drooped down, and she said with a hint of grievance:

"Wanwan, in your heart... am I the kind of older sister who would easily abandon you, right?"

What...?

She's clearly so worried about Wanwan...

Seeing her sister like this, Lin Tingwan seemed to panic as well.

She wrote something in the notebook, squatted down, and carefully handed it to Lin Jianxia.

"sorry."

"My older sister is the best."

Looking at these two lines of handwriting, Lin Jianxia's heart suddenly softened again, and she couldn't even muster up anger anymore.

Fine, I'll forgive my silly little sister.

"I'm not the best... Jiang Yubai is the best, right? You hugged him for so long, but you were so perfunctory when you hugged your sister."

Lin Jianxia couldn't help but mutter under her breath.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan blinked and gently pulled her sister into her arms.

"That's more like it~~"

Someone's voice immediately became cheerful.

So when Jiang Yubai came in, this was the scene he saw.
