Sister, can I be a maid too?

What he said seems to make a lot of sense.

"It'll be in the next couple of days..." Lin Jianxia began hesitantly, "basically the same as me..."

"Okay, I'll be careful these next couple of days and won't take that guy out for hot pot."

Seemingly aware that the topic was somewhat awkward, Jiang Yubai nodded calmly and didn't ask any further questions.

But he didn't ask. Lin Jianxia glanced at him with her eyes and suddenly spoke up:

"By the way, Jiang Yubai... when is your period...?"

What day is it?

Jiang Yubai subconsciously asked a question, and it took him a couple of seconds to realize what he meant.

".....oh."

His expression remained normal, and his tone was calm.

"It'll be soon, probably in about another week."

Lin Jianxia tilted her head to look at him, and after a long while, she slowly uttered an "Oh," her eyes curving slightly.

"Okay, you'll be quite weak then, right? I'll take good care of you."

Jiang Yubai: "...No need, I don't have much of a reaction."

"No, no~" Lin Jianxia shook her head, "You made me brown sugar water, so of course I have to take care of you."

For some reason, she squinted her eyes when she said this, like a little fox plotting a mischievous idea.

Since things had come to this point, Jiang Yubai could only swallow back his words of refusal and reluctantly nodded:

"Well... okay then..."

Forget it, it's just faking illness, it's that simple.

He then told her to drink the hot brown sugar water while it was still hot and to remember to take her medicine on time before he got up, closed the door, and left.

Back in the living room, Jiang Yubai had just slumped onto the sofa and reached for his phone to watch some videos when the doorbell suddenly rang.

The computer has arrived?

He blinked, called out "Coming!", and quickly walked over to open the door.

But the person standing outside the door wasn't a deliveryman.

Lin Tingwan was wearing a fluffy nightgown, clearly having just gotten out of bed.

The girl blinked her beautiful eyes and held the notebook up in front of him:

"Is my sister here?"

Chapter 125 Lin Tingwan's Coquettishness (Thanks to Mo_Ying for the Alliance Leader~)

Is my sister here?

Jiang Yubai replied subconsciously:

"Yes, I'm in bed."

"..."

"..."

Their eyes met, and Jiang Yubai suddenly snapped out of his daze and quickly said:

"No... oh right... oh no no... I mean, your sister is resting in bed."

Lin Tingwan tilted her head slightly.

Jiang Yu blinked, and her body, which had suddenly tensed up, slowly relaxed.

What?! You're scaring yourself...

This girl probably wouldn't misunderstand at all...

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained:

"Your sister is on her period and her stomach is a little sore, so she borrowed the bed in the study to rest for a bit."

Lin Tingwan looked at him for a while longer before nodding and walking straight into the room.

In the study.

Lin Tingwan, dressed in fluffy pajamas, sat quietly on a chair by the bed, her clear eyes gazing intently at the person on the bed.

Lin Jianxia, ​​wrapped in a blanket, leaned against the headboard, blinking her eyes and trying her best to put on an innocent look that said, "I'm very well-behaved and I'm very weak."

The older sister didn't speak, and the younger sister didn't hand over her notebook; the two sisters just stared at each other.

In the room, only the soft sound of breathing could be heard for a moment.

Jiang Yubai stood by the door, not quite understanding what was going on, but inexplicably feeling that the air was stagnant and oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"Well..."

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw Lin Tingwan lower her head and start writing in her notebook.

Jiang Yubai obediently shut his mouth, but he was a little curious about what she would write.

A moment later, Lin Tingwan gently lifted the notebook and pointed it toward the head of the bed.

"Is your sister feeling unwell?"

Upon seeing the sign her younger sister was holding, Lin Jianxia paused for a moment, then sighed heavily, her face contorted with distress as she softly said:

"Yes, Wanwan, you know, my sister always does this around this time, there's just nothing I can do about it..."

She didn't know where the guilt in her heart came from, but as soon as she spoke, her tone softened unconsciously, even carrying a pitiful ending.

Perhaps it was the sincere yet weak tone that had the effect, or perhaps Lin Tingwan was already aware of her sister's chronic illness.

She looked at Lin Jianxia carefully for a few moments, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Then, lowering her head, she wrote again:

"How is my sister?"

"Thank goodness..."

Lin Jianxia nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry about Wanwan, she's much better now."

Lin Tingwan glanced at the stomach medicine on the bedside table, then lingered for a few seconds on the steaming cup of brown sugar water before looking back at her older sister.

"Why doesn't my sister go back to her room to rest?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but hum and whine:

"Wanwan is sleeping, isn't she? If I go back like this, it will definitely disturb your rest."

"So...so Jiang Yubai let me lie down in his study for a while."

Jiang Yubai chimed in from the side:

"Yes, I asked the doctor at the pharmacy, and he said it's just a stomach problem, nothing serious, and it should get better after some rest."

Lin Tingwan nodded her head and picked up her notebook again.

"Then, sister, get some rest."

The girl glanced at the bed one last time before standing up.

“Okay,” Jiang Yubai chimed in, “Don’t worry about lunch, I’ll make it for you later.”

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia, ​​lying on the bed, blinked and muttered softly:

"You... will do it?"

Faced with this obvious question, Jiang Yubai did not offer any explanation, but simply remained silent for two seconds and then coughed lightly:

"I think that after watching you cook so many times, I should have improved a bit by now."

"We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't work out, we'll just order takeout."

Lin Jianxia then gave a half-believing "Oh".

After giving some more instructions, Jiang Yubai led Lin Tingwan out of the study.

I glanced at the time. Because I ate breakfast late, I usually had lunch after noon.

It's only a little before 10 o'clock, it's obviously too early to start cooking.

Lin Jianxia occupied the double bed in the study. Although writing papers had nothing to do with the bed, but...

Let this guy rest quietly for a while.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yubai turned his head to look at the girl beside him:

"Want to watch TV?"

After thinking it over, it seems that this is the only thing that can help me pass the time.

Lin Tingwan, as always, did not refuse and nodded slightly to indicate that it was no problem.

So Jiang Yubai happily sat back on the sofa and reached out to turn on the TV.

Before I even started requesting a song, I suddenly felt my clothes being tugged.

As soon as I turned my head, the familiar notebook was handed to me.

"hug."

Jiang Yubai gave him a helpless look, but didn't say anything, just silently opened his arms.

So Lin Tingwan skillfully leaned over and nestled herself into his arms.

The girl nestled her head against his chest and rubbed against him quietly, like a little animal that had found its den.

She wrapped her arms around his neck, loosely overlapping them behind his neck, pressing her body tightly against him.

That familiar lavender scent lingered in the air once more.

Jiang Yubai obediently placed his hands on her waist, showing no intention of taking advantage of her.
