Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Eat chicken wings."

Lin Jianxia finally felt relieved upon seeing those words.

It's just a chicken wing, why is Jiang Yubai so nervous...?

Jiang Yubai rolled his eyes at her.

"I told you, I'll be here in a bit, why are you so worried?"

Lin Jianxia ignored him and only greeted her younger sister:

"Come on, Wanwan, I made something delicious today~"

Seeing the two sisters start eating, Jiang Yubai didn't say anything more and calmly put a spoonful of egg drop soup into his mouth.

—That scared me to death! That scared me to death... Thank goodness...

"...Jiang Yubai, why are your hands shaking?"

"Nonsense, where is that?"

Chapter 119 Even the Little Maid Has to Meet Her In-Laws... Oh no, I mean her uncle and aunt.

For the next period of time, the three of them lived their lives as usual.

Jiang Yubai eats breakfast prepared by his maid every day before going to school. During class, he slacks off, daydreams, or passes notes with Lin Jianxia.

After school, I bring some barbecue snacks to Lin Tingwan at home and chat with her.

In the evening, I'll do practice tests and review lessons with my two sisters, and then go out for a late-night snack.

To be honest, they practically turned that hot pot restaurant into a VIP membership place.

As the days went by, the otherwise dull senior year of high school actually became quite enjoyable.

It seems that going to school is indeed too exhausting, so Lin Tingwan only goes to school once every three or four days, and spends most of the rest of the time at home.

Even so, this made Lin Jianxia extremely happy, and she finally began to silently consider Jiang Yubai's suggestion.

Saturday afternoon.

Jiang Yubai stood in front of his villa, a helpless smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Today, he had neither the time to sleep in late nor the time to help the Lin sisters with their practice tests.

Because of his parents, who are always running around, who knows where they've gone off to play again...

They're finally back.

It would have been fine if he had just come home, but as soon as he got there, he was bombarded with calls, one after another, urging his son to come back immediately. He had no idea what the rush was for.

"Knock knock knock".

After three knocks, Jiang Yubai silently counted to five in his mind and subconsciously reached for the doorknob.

Not moving.

—Oh wait, this doesn't seem to be Lin Tingwan's room door... It's become a habitual action...

After knocking a few more times and seeing no response, Jiang Yubai simply turned on the speakerphone:

"Mom, open the door!"

Sure enough, the old method worked. In just a few seconds, a familiar set of footsteps came from inside the room.

The door clicked open, and Qin Huiyi poked half her body out, her eyes lighting up:

"Oh, you've arrived?"

She glanced at Jiang Yubai's hands: "Why didn't you bring any food this time?"

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

"No, Mom, you two have gone abroad to have a great time, and you're still thinking about my stutter?"

He couldn't help but complain.

"Besides, didn't you always say that these things are unhealthy?"

The words had barely left his mouth when he noticed his mother's expression suddenly become subtle. She clicked her tongue and stepped aside.

"Come in first and we'll talk."

What does it mean?

Jiang Yubai entered the house without understanding why, walked through the entrance hall into the living room, and immediately saw Jiang Pinglan sitting leisurely on the sofa with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper.

To be honest, newspapers are a rare sight these days, let alone newsstands.

Only his father, even though he was always out and about, still subscribed to the Qianjiang Evening News without fail, 365 days a year.

Seeing him enter, Jiang Pinglan's eyes lit up, and her gaze swept expectantly over his left and right hands:

"What about food?"

No, Dad, why are you looking for food right away too?

Jiang Yubai shrugged:

"No."

Jiang Pinglan was immediately disappointed upon hearing this:

"No? Don't you have plenty of food streets where you live?"

Jiang Yubai couldn't hold back any longer and said irritably:

"Mom and Dad, you two just went abroad for a vacation without saying a word, and now you expect me to bring you food? Do you think that's reasonable?"

He couldn't help but complain:

"Did you two go to Congo or Somalia? The places are so poor, you can't even get enough to eat?"

Qin Huiyi, wearing slippers, sat back on the sofa and sighed, utterly exhausted.

"Who goes to that remote, impoverished place? Your dad and I went to the big city."

Oh, you're even using English now?

Which big city is so miserable that people can't even get enough to eat?

But then Jiang Pinglan shook the newspaper and chuckled:

"Your mom saw some pictures of Big Ben and some other church on some app and insisted on taking me on a spontaneous trip."

Big Ben, Westminster? This isn't....

Jiang Yubai was filled with respect: "Seriously? You two can take Ying out for more than a month?"

"Your mom likes it."

Jiang Pinglan sighed.

"We were rushing from one tourist attraction to another, but your mom couldn't stand it anymore. She said, 'This country is so big, there must be some good food, right?' So she dragged me around everywhere."

"Did you two find something delicious to eat?"

Jiang Yubai suppressed a laugh and asked.

That's the question, but looking at my parents' expressions, the answer is obvious.

As expected, Qin Huiyi said in an annoyed tone:

"Is there anything good to eat?"

"The fish and chips were passable. They were crispy when they came out of the fryer, and with vinegar and tartar sauce, the taste was authentic."

"But the others are mushy stews, and the sausages from what's called 'Toad Cave' are so salty they're almost cloying."

"The breakfast is plentiful, but eating baked beans and fried tomatoes every day... I get tired of it after a couple of days."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and complained:

“Your dad keeps nagging me about ‘when in Rome, do as the Romans do,’ but his ‘customs’ are just too monotonous, aren’t they?”

"We ended up eating at Chinese restaurants almost every meal. I really couldn't take it anymore, so we came back before we even saw a few tourist attractions."

Hearing this, Jiang Pinglan, who was standing to the side, stepped forward and spoke a fair word:

"Actually... I can tolerate it, and after eating it for a while, I've gotten used to it..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qin Huiyi glared at him again:

"You've gotten used to this? No wonder you've been able to stay in Lincheng for so many years!"

Jiang Yubai, who was listening from the side, was practically dying of laughter.

My dad is a native of Lincheng, so it's fine for him to eat West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce from time to time.

But my mother, Qin Huiyi, was "abducted" from Sichuan and Chongqing by my father back then, and only settled here after getting married.

Although I've settled down here, my tastes haven't changed at all.

She shares health and wellness recipes and diet tips in the "Kissing Family" group every day, but she herself can't eat without Sichuan cuisine.

Jiang Yubai loves spicy food, mostly because he has such a mother.

And this mom, who absolutely loves spicy food, took Ying out to play for a whole month...

"While I deeply sympathize with what you two have gone through..." Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain, "but you two called me back like it was your death warrant, just so I could bring you some food?"

Sending food is one thing, but the problem is they didn't mention it at all on the phone...

Upon hearing this, Qin Huiyi and Jiang Pinglan exchanged a glance and suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Jiang Yubai's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling:

"Hey you two, say something! What's with this sudden silence?"

"Son."

Finally, Jiang Pinglan spoke first in a calm and composed manner.

"I heard... your roommate, Lin Jianxia... is quite a good cook?"

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