Sister, can I be a maid too?

She sprang up from his waist as if she had been scalded, her face instantly turning bright red, even her ears turning pink.

"No, no, why didn't you remind me sooner?!"

Jiang Yubai slowly straightened up and rolled her eyes at her:

"Sister, you got on here yourself, is it my fault?"

He made a move to stand up, but suddenly stopped.

The next second, he sat back down as if nothing had happened, casually grabbed the cushion from before, and loosely hugged it to his chest.

"Um..."

Jiang Yubai subconsciously wanted to say something, but his gaze suddenly stopped.

Lin Tingwan sat obediently on the other side of the sofa, her clear and beautiful eyes looking in this direction, having listened for who knows how long.

Oh my god, I forgot Lin Tingwan is still here!

Jiang Yubai broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

They didn't say anything inappropriate for children, did they?

Thank goodness...

I just managed to hold back and not tease the little hedgehog any further, otherwise Lin Tingwan would have gone to study it, and that would have been terrible.

Lin Jianxia followed his gaze and her face immediately went blank, clearly having forgotten that her younger sister was still there.

"Evening... um..."

She was about to say something when her brows suddenly furrowed slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to cover her lower abdomen.

Jiang Yubai keenly noticed that something was wrong with her expression:

"what happened?"

Lin Jianxia straightened up, one hand still gently pressing on her lower abdomen, her voice a little lower than before:

"It's nothing, it's just... my stomach is a little uncomfortable."

She turned around and extended her hand to Lin Tingwan, who was sitting quietly to the side:

"Wanwan, let's go back first."

"Walking so fast?" Jiang Yubai was taken aback.

Lin Jianxia had already taken two steps towards the door with her younger sister when she heard this, and turned back to glance at him:

"What? You said it yourself—you're washing the dishes today, no cheating allowed."

"I need to have a private chat with Wanwan, so I'm leaving now."

As soon as she finished speaking, she led Lin Tingwan out the door, and the two figures quickly disappeared through the doorway.

Jiang Yubai was left alone in the living room, still holding the soft, fluffy pillow in his arms.

No, they're leaving already?

Jiang Yubai stared at the tightly closed door, feeling that something was amiss.

Did this guy's face suddenly turn a few shades paler?

It's probably just a sudden stomachache... it shouldn't be anything serious.

As he thought this, he unconsciously stroked the corner of the pillow in his arms a couple of times.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yubai finally gave up the idea of ​​going next door to ask, stood up, and turned his gaze to the dining table on the other side.

The food was almost all eaten, with only the bowls and chopsticks still scattered around.

Oh well, I promised it, so I'll clean it up myself.

He clicked his tongue and walked towards the dining table.

But... those unconsciously furrowed brows still occasionally pop into my mind.

Chapter 123 Egg-Shedding Period (Thanks to Qiuqiu_ for being the Alliance Leader~)

Sunday morning.

As the alarm clock on the bedside table rang, Jiang Yubai slowly opened his eyes.

It took him a good five or six seconds to pull himself out of his dream, reach out and turn off the alarm clock, then sit up abruptly.

Although it was a weekend or holiday, Lin Jianxia insisted on having three meals a day without missing a single one, and even set an alarm clock for him.

Well, it wasn't the usual six o'clock, but nine in the morning, which can be considered a little kindness from the little maid.

Jiang Yu got up quickly, dressed, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and opened the door after she was fully prepared.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window, and the faint aroma of soy milk and fried dough sticks wafted through the air, making one's appetite soar.

Jiang Yubai's eyes lit up, and he followed the scent inside.

The breakfast on the table was as lavish as ever:

Hot soy milk, golden and crispy fried dough sticks, two side dishes, and a small basket of steaming dumplings.

At the table, Lin Jianxia was lying quietly, her cheek pressed against her crossed arms, as if she were asleep.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Jiang Yubai instinctively slowed his pace.

—What are you doing? Asleep? I didn't wake up late, did I?

Ever since he learned that Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan would be waiting for him before they started eating, Jiang Yubai has basically stopped sleeping in, so as not to make the two girls wait too long.

Jiang Yubai sat in the chair and reached out to poke the girl's arm:

"Lin Jianxia? What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Lin Jianxia seemed to be awake at all. She raised her little head and shook it slowly.

"and you....."

Jiang Yubai was about to make his usual teasing remark when he saw the guy's expression and stopped talking.

Her once rosy face was much paler than usual, her lips were pale, and there was a faint weariness under her eyelashes. She looked weak and listless.

"What's wrong?" He frowned.

"It's nothing, it's just... I just didn't sleep well," Lin Jianxia hummed softly.

Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes.

No, do you even believe what you're saying?

His lips and face were so pale, he looked sickly and listless...

Jiang Yubai's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered her action of suddenly clutching her stomach yesterday.

He tentatively asked:

"You... have an oil leak in the chassis?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia's pale face suddenly flushed red as she looked at him in disbelief.

"Just kidding."

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yubai already understood most of it:

"So...you're on your period, right?"

Seeing that she could no longer hide it, Lin Jianxia's eyes darted around for a moment, and she gave a soft "hmm".

"So yesterday was also because of this?"

".....Um."

"Why are you blushing?" Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at her. "Isn't this a normal physiological phenomenon, just like when we boys molt?"

Lin Jianxia was caught off guard by a strange term and paused for a moment:

"...Laying season?"

"Yeah, you have to change it once a month, what's there to be shy about?"

Jiang Yubai looked completely at ease, his open and honest gaze leaving Lin Jianxia speechless.

She didn't want Jiang Yubai to find out, not for any particular reason, but because she felt it would be embarrassing.

But seeing Jiang Yubai's "what's the big deal?" expression, Lin Jianxia's inexplicable embarrassment suddenly dissipated by more than half.

She pursed her lips and spoke softly:

"Actually, it's not too bad, it's just a stomachache."

Jiang Yubai wasn't joking this time; he simply examined the area carefully before commenting:

"Lin Jianxia, ​​your face is already deathly pale, and you still say 'only'?"

"It's not that serious, is it?" Lin Jianxia retorted softly. "I think I can still be saved..."

Although he admired the guy's ability to joke, Jiang Yubai didn't take the bait. Instead, he frowned and asked:

"Does menstrual pain usually occur this badly for women?"

As if finally unloading some kind of burden, Lin Jianxia's face fell, and her voice carried a hint of grievance:

"I don't know... Wanwan doesn't seem to be in much pain, so why am I in so much pain...?"

"Looking at me won't help."

Jiang Yubai shrugged:

"I don't have a girlfriend... uh, female friends, how would I know what the average level of pain is like?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia gave an "Oh" and weakly said:

"It's okay, it'll be fine in a couple of days..."

"It'll take another two days to get better?" Jiang Yubai exclaimed in alarm. "Will it keep hurting like this?"

Damn, he thought the pain would only last an hour or two, or at most a day. What does it mean that it will last two more days?
