Sister, can I be a maid too?

Oh no, anyway, what did you say to Wanwan?!

That's exactly the same thing they said before...

Lin Jianxia seemed to have thought of something and suddenly paused.

Before?

She stared at the spiral notebook for a long time, then suddenly turned her little head and asked:

"Wanwan...when did you say that?"

"I saw it in the notebook."

Lin Jianxia's heart skipped a beat, and clinging to the last shred of hope, she asked:

"Was it... written to you by Jiang Yubai today?"

Lin Tingwan shook her head and continued writing:

"I saw it in the notebook."

After thinking for a moment, she added:

"My sister also told Jiang Yubai all the things she liked."

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

She stared silently at the handwriting on the spiral notebook, feeling as if she herself had a slight resemblance.

I saw it in a notebook.

She had no desire to know what kind of book it was.

Seeing that her sister had stopped moving, Lin Tingwan tilted her head, put her notebook back, and continued writing.

Lin Jianxia's heart skipped a beat, and the ominous premonition grew stronger. She subconsciously peeked over to see what her younger sister was writing.

"By the way, does Jiang Yubai like maid outfits? I saw my sister say she wanted to wear one as a prize..."

"Waaaaah, waaaaah waaaah waaaah!!!!!!!!!!"

Lin Jianxia's face turned bright red. She snatched the notebook from her younger sister's hand and stammered:

"Um... the food next door is ready! Yes! The food is ready!"

She pulled Lin Tingwan up, and hurriedly pushed her sister's shoulders to walk out:

"Hurry up, hurry up! Jiang Yubai is still waiting for us to eat!!"

-----------------

On the other side.

Jiang Yubai deftly released the pressure from the pressure cooker, ladled the tender pork ribs into a soup bowl, and served it along with several stir-fried dishes.

Then, after setting out three sets of bowls and chopsticks and serving rice, he sat down at the table, satisfied.

Although my cooking skills are lacking, I can certainly handle simple tasks like serving rice and setting out bowls.

With everything ready, we're now just waiting for the sisters to arrive so we can officially start eating.

Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, Jiang Yubai was already quite impatient.

This dinner was exceptionally lavish, with four dishes and a soup laid out in abundance.

The aroma of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, glistening with dark brown oil, is irresistible. The tender steamed eggplant with garlic sauce is glistening with oil. The stir-fried bok choy is crisp and refreshing. A plate of poached chicken has crispy skin and tender meat.

There was also a large bowl of tender and fragrant corn and pork rib soup, steaming gently and invitingly.

Jiang Yubai waited and waited with great anticipation, but after a long while, Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan from next door still hadn't arrived.

No, what happened to the promised five minutes?

Just as he was getting impatient and about to get up to check on the situation, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Lin Jianxia pushed her younger sister into the house in a wheelchair.

Jiang Yubai looked at this and then at that, and couldn't help but complain:

"What are you two doing? Playing with Thomas the Tank Engine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jianxia suddenly raised her small face and glared at him fiercely.

For some reason, Jiang Yubai always felt that there were two small flames burning in those beautiful eyes, making people feel a chill down their spines.

—Wait, why are you glaring at me like that? What do you mean?

Before he could react, Lin Jianxia had already pushed her younger sister to sit down at the table, pouting as she said:

"What are you looking at? Eat."

Although he was a little confused, Jiang Yubai was quickly drawn to the aroma wafting from the table.

I have to say, the taste is absolutely impeccable.

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers is savory and slightly spicy; steamed eggplant with minced garlic is soft and flavorful; stir-fried bok choy is crisp, tender, and sweet; and poached chicken has smooth skin and tender meat. It's even more delicious when dipped in ginger and scallion sauce.

Anyway, Jiang Yubai ate with great relish, feeling that there was no greater taste in the world than this.

Honestly, if this guy is really broke after the college entrance exam, he'll definitely encourage her to open a "Xia's Private Kitchen".

He'll definitely come every day to support us, without missing a single meal.

...Well, I just wanted to support my classmate, I definitely didn't intend to use this place as a cafeteria.

After finishing off all the food on the table, Jiang Yubai patted his stomach contentedly and grabbed a tissue.

But as soon as she finished wiping her mouth and looked up, she saw that Lin Jianxia across from her had put down her chopsticks and was silently watching her.

"Finished eating?"

The girl's voice sounded somewhat melancholic.

"Uh... I'm done eating."

Jiang Yubai answered cautiously.

Wait, what's with that resentful look? He just didn't reply to my message for half a day, why is he acting so bitter and resentful?

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, then turned to Lin Tingwan, her tone softening:

"Wanwan, you must be tired after a long day of school. Why don't you go home and rest for a bit?"

Lin Tingwan looked at her older sister, then at Jiang Yubai across from her, and obediently nodded.

After watching her younger sister leave, Lin Jianxia finally relaxed a little.

She turned her gaze back to Jiang Yubai, but her tone became somewhat resentful:

"Jiang Yubai, come with me, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, the girl stood up first and walked angrily toward the study.

Jiang Yubai blinked in place.

He glanced at the man's angry retreating figure, then at the empty table of food, and a thought involuntarily popped into his mind—

Was that meal just now... my last meal before I was executed?

Putting aside this somewhat frightening thought, Jiang Yubai stood up and followed.

As soon as he entered the study, Lin Jianxia, ​​who was waiting nearby, stepped forward and slammed the door shut.

That wasn't enough; the girl reached down and clicked open the door lock as well.

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

He watched Lin Jianxia's practiced movements, a question mark slowly appearing above his head.

What does that mean?

Why is there a double action of closing and locking the door as soon as you come in?

The last time Lin Jianxia made that move, she pushed him down onto the bed the next second...

Then came a massage.

This time it won't be like that, right?

I feel like I'd have a hard time standing up and walking out this door looking like this...

These random thoughts flashed through Jiang Yubai's mind, and he finally couldn't help but speak:

"No... what exactly do you want?"

But Lin Jianxia didn't answer. She just put her hands on her hips, ground her little tiger teeth, and glared at him:

"What? Don't you know your own limitations?!"

Don't know?

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then looked as if he had just realized something, and sincerely apologized:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have ignored your messages. I just put my phone in and forgot about it."

These words surprised Lin Jianxia on the other end of the line.

"...Forgot? Weren't you too busy to reply to messages?"

"..."

Jiang Yubai paused for two seconds, then adopted an even more sincere expression:

"Yes, I misspoke. I really didn't have time to reply to messages."

"Jiang Yubai!!!"

Lin Jianxia was furious.

She thought that he was being watched closely by the teacher and hadn't found a chance to reply to her messages.

So you've forgotten about it!

"You... no! That's not what you're talking about!" Lin Jianxia was almost led astray by him.

"Not that? Then what is it?"

Jiang Yubai spread his hands, revealing a helpless expression.
