Sister, can I be a maid too?

He looked at the two sisters embracing each other and hesitated for a moment:

"Uh... I came at the wrong time?"

Lin Jianxia trembled in fright at his sudden voice:

"Jiang Yubai, didn't you make a sound when you came in?!"

“…I just opened the door and came in normally,” Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes, “Why are you looking so guilty?”

Lin Jianxia choked, while Lin Tingwan let go of his hand, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Yubai before settling on the medicine bottle in his hand.

"Yunnan Baiyao spray is quite effective in treating sprains."

Jiang Yubai shook the medicine jar in his hand, not bothering to investigate further, and walked straight to Lin Jianxia, ​​squatting down and reaching out to take off her shoes.

The girl quickly pulled her foot back, then suddenly panicked even more:

"What are you trying to do?!"

?

What am I supposed to do?

"Lin Jianxia, ​​have you gone mad from being soaked in the rain?" Jiang Yubai said speechlessly, holding up the medicine bottle. "Can't you tell what I'm going to do?"

His tone carried a hint of impatience:

"Hurry up, this spray is waterproof. After you spray it, go take a hot shower. Don't blame me if you catch a cold if you dawdle any longer."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia's words of rebuttal immediately caught in her throat.

She glanced subconsciously at Lin Tingwan standing to the side, pursed her lips, and finally silently stretched out her injured foot.

Jiang Yubai was not pretentious at all. He deftly took off his shoes and socks, held her sole with one hand, and gently placed the other hand on her ankle, carefully examining her foot under the light.

Lin Jianxia felt a warm palm touching her cold soles, and as he checked her, an indescribable tingling sensation shot up from the soles of her feet.

Her face grew increasingly red, and her voice became somewhat unsteady:

"Can...can you hurry up?"

"Don't make a fuss, I'm checking how serious it is," Jiang Yubai looked up at her, puzzled. "What's with your reaction? You were perfectly fine before."

How can these be the same?

How can these be the same?!

Before, it was an emergency measure, but now, now Wanwan is watching over us!

Jiang Yubai was naturally unaware of the jumbled thoughts in her mind; he simply focused on checking everything again.

After confirming that it was just a common sprain and that no bones were broken, he picked up the spray and sprayed it evenly on her swollen ankle a few times.

"Okay, all done," Jiang Yubai straightened up and said casually, "Go take a hot shower and change your wet clothes, otherwise... ouch!"

The sneeze seemed to startle all three people present.

Lin Jianxia's face was still flushed, but her brows furrowed instead.

"Hey, Jiang Yubai, don't catch a cold first."

"........ Minor problem."

Jiang Yubai sniffled, then added with concern:

"Oh, right, Lin Tingwan, remember to change your clothes too, I was all wet just now."

"Okay, I'll change it for her right now!"

Lin Jianxia's tone was fierce:

"You're the one who should be taking a shower right now!"

After leaving the sisters' room, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but shiver again.

He hurriedly returned home, first sending a text message to his homeroom teacher, then grabbing a thick, plush set of pajamas from his bedroom before going into the bathroom.

Only when the hot water poured down from above his head, and the warmth gradually spread to his cold limbs, did Jiang Yubai finally let out a comfortable sigh.

Sure enough, a hot shower is more effective than anything else at times like this.

Once his body had warmed up completely, he took a long, comfortable shower for almost half an hour before changing into his soft, plush pajamas and walking out of the bathroom while drying his hair.

He paused as soon as he stepped out of the bathroom.

After listening carefully for a while, a hint of doubt arose in Jiang Yubai's mind.

Wait, did I just... turn on the TV?

He walked into the living room with some confusion, and the first thing he saw was a TV playing cartoons.

A second glance...

Then he saw the girl who had changed into clean pajamas and was sitting on the sofa.

Hearing footsteps, she turned her head, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked over.

Jiang Yubai opened his mouth, but suddenly stopped.

Wait, this is Lin Jianxia...

Or is it Lin Tingwan?

.....

.....

(What does it mean?)

Chapter 102 Don't Spit It Out

"Lin...Tingwan?"

The girl on the sofa didn't react at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Yubai immediately changed his tune:

"Hey Lin Jianxia, ​​aren't you in bad shape with your legs? What are you doing here?"

As he spoke, he sat down next to the girl:

"Why aren't you comforting your sister? What are you doing here? Is Lin Tingwan asleep?"

He rambled on and on, but received no reply, so he turned his head in surprise.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing beside him, turned her head and stared at him silently with her eyes.

stare--

Jiang Yubai suddenly froze, as if he had thought of something, and tentatively said:

"...Wanwan?"

The girl in front of him finally reacted.

Her lips pursed slightly, and the next second, she leaned in like a bird returning to its nest.

Soft strands of hair brushed against his chin, and his familiar warm breath wafted through his clothes.

—That familiar hug...it really is Lin Tingwan...

Jiang Yubai hesitated for a few seconds before speaking:

"Wanwan...where's your sister?"

Lin Tingwan didn't answer, but tightened her arms around his back and snuggled closer to him.

After glancing around, Jiang Yubai was completely certain that Lin Tingwan probably hadn't come to find him alone.

This is the first time, isn't it...?

Looking at the girl in her pajamas, curled up in his arms like a cat, Jiang Yubai felt no romantic thoughts whatsoever.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out and gently patted her back.

This hug was much longer than usual.

The wind and rain were still howling outside the window, but the living room was filled with warm, cozy light.

The old TV series "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit: The Seven Swordsmen" was still playing, showing the scene where the four swordsmen combined their skills and beat the villains to a pulp.

On screen, swords flash and righteousness abounds, but Jiang Yubai simply holds the girl in his arms quietly, and can even feel her heartbeat gradually calming down.

Are you feeling better?

He finally spoke.

Lin Tingwan sniffed, then slowly released her arms from his and looked up at him.

Those eyes, which were usually clear and quiet, were now slightly red.

"So sad?" Jiang Yubai said with a wry smile, rubbing the boy's head. "You just came back a little late."

Lin Tingwan shook her head, picked up the notebook from the side, carefully wrote a line, and handed it to him.

"I thought Jiang Yubai and my sister didn't want me anymore."

What are you thinking about?

Jiang Yubai shouted irritably, and tightened his grip on the object.

Until she ruffled her long, smooth hair into a messy, disheveled mess.

Looking at Lin Tingwan, who had suddenly become like a cat with its fur standing on end, his helplessness softened a bit, and his tone became gentler:

"Hey, even if I don't want you anymore, how could your sister possibly not want you?"

“You’re her most precious little sister, and she always treats me like a thief.”

After saying this, Jiang Yubai blinked.

Yeah, Lin Tingwan came over, but where's Lin Jianxia?
