Sister, can I be a maid too?

As soon as Jiang Yubai straightened up, he saw Lin Tingwan looking around with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"The auntie selling chicken wings has closed up shop today," Jiang Yubai explained, knowing exactly what the little foodie was looking for. "Let's eat them tomorrow."

Lin Tingwan nodded, her bright eyes looking back at him.

What are you doing, trying to look cute?

Acting cute won't work.

Jiang Yubai's face darkened, deliberately trying to scare her:

"Lin Tingwan! Why aren't you sleeping in your own room? Why are you sleeping in the study?"

"I searched your house and couldn't find you. I thought you had run away by yourself."

After listening, Lin Tingwan thought for a moment, sat up straight, took out a notebook from under the covers, wrote something down, and handed it over.

"Sister can sleep."

What do you mean by "my sister can sleep"? What does that have to do with Lin Jianxia?

Jiang Yubai didn't understand Lin Tingwan's meaning for a moment.

But then, he realized.

My sister can sleep—so I can sleep too—don't say that about me.

What meticulous logic!

Jiang Yubai reached out and pinched her soft cheek, saying in an annoyed tone:

"Your sister is...."

He stopped halfway through his sentence, then said helplessly:

"Fine, I didn't say you couldn't sleep, but remember to let me know on QQ before you come over, okay?"

Lin Tingwan's soft cheeks were still being pinched, but she nodded earnestly.

Jiang Yubai almost laughed at him, let go of his hand, and added:

"Also, if you need to go out, you must tell me or Lin Jianxia first, understand?"

(Nods)

Looking into those earnest eyes, Jiang Yubai suddenly felt as if he were taking care of a child.

Pshaw, he's not that old!

Putting aside these strange thoughts, Jiang Yubai changed the subject:

"Your sister should have sent you pictures by now. Today is the first day of the school sports meet, it's really lively... Are there any events you'd like to see?"

Lin Tingwan thought for a moment, then wrote a line on her notebook and handed it over:

"Tug-of-war".

"Tug-of-war? Sure, the finals are tomorrow."

Jiang Yubai started counting on his fingers,

"There are quite a few events in the fun sports meet, such as three-legged race, kangaroo jump, and ball relay race."

Lin Tingwan tilted her head, looking somewhat bewildered.

"What is that?"

Jiang Yubai was speechless for a moment.

Too.....

Even Lin Jianxia, ​​who was in school, stayed in her classroom during the sports meet, not to mention Lin Tingwan, who always stayed at home.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai simply leaned against the headboard and patiently began to explain:

"Hmm... Three-legged race is when you tie two people's left and right feet together and then race each other."

"And the kangaroo jump and the back-to-back ball relay are..."

Lin Tingwan listened attentively, nodding as if she understood but not quite.

She instinctively tried to lean to the side, but the blankets on her body caught her.

The girl looked at herself, then at Jiang Yubai beside her, and frowned.

"Also, after we watch the three-legged race tomorrow, we can go straight to watch the tug-of-war. Let me tell you, that—"

Jiang Yubai was talking enthusiastically when he suddenly felt a warmth on his body.

He looked down blankly and realized that the blankets that had been wrapped tightly around him had actually been placed over his body.

Lin Tingwan even turned her body to the side and earnestly tucked the blanket around him to make sure there was no draft.

Before she could say anything, Lin Tingwan pulled the blanket up and sat up. The next second, her soft body naturally leaned against her.

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

Seeing that he was not speaking, Lin Tingwan blinked, wrote something in a small notebook, and handed it to him to read.

"Anything else?"

What else? Is this really the time to ask that question?!

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain.

He glanced at the girl leaning against him, then at her completely nonchalant expression...

Oh well, we've already used the same blanket on the sofa before, so let's just use the same quilt on the bed now.

It doesn't seem like a big deal?

"And...and..."

Jiang Yubai withdrew his gaze, pondered for a few seconds, and his expression suddenly became somewhat subtle.

"Where was I?"

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

the other side.

Lin Jianxia placed the last bowl of Mapo Tofu on the table, and nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the sumptuous three dishes and soup in front of her.

Heh heh, easy peasy~

She took off her apron and hung it back in the kitchen, then took out three sets of bowls and chopsticks and arranged them neatly.

Once everything was ready, I took out my phone, opened the contact named "Jiang Xiaobai," and made a call.

Lin Jianxia sat at the dining table, humming a song as she waited happily for the call to connect.

"Hey?"

Jiang Yubai's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Dinner's ready!" Lin Jianxia said cheerfully. "Today we have your favorite stir-fried pork with chili peppers, and Wanwan's favorite Mapo Tofu!"

"Okay, we'll be right there."

Lin Jianxia was about to agree when she suddenly frowned as if she sensed something:

"and many more."

"what happened?"

The voice on the phone sounded somewhat confused.

Ignoring these words, Lin Jianxia tilted her head, glanced around a few times, and finally landed on the study door with some suspicion.

She stood up, strode over, and gave it a push—

When Lin Jianxia saw the scene inside the room, she froze on the spot.

"........"

"........."

Meeting those wide-eyed stares, Jiang Zheng and Wanwan, who were under the same blanket, swallowed hard and said earnestly:

"Well... let me explain."

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

the next day.

In front of the door.

"Wanwan, remember to follow Jiang Yubai. Wherever he goes, you go. Don't get lost."

"It's okay if you lose him, just call him. His phone won't be on silent."

"Also, watch those javelins and jump ropes from a distance. Don't get too close, it's dangerous."

Listening to this endless nagging, Jiang Yubai finally couldn't help but complain:

"Hey, Xia's mom, can you relax a bit? I'm just taking her to a sports meet, not to play in the octagon. Why are you so worried?"

Lin Jianxia glanced at him, but didn't reply. She simply continued:

"By the way, you should also be careful of the person next to you."

"If he bullies you, message me immediately, Wanwan."

Jiang Yubai remained silent.

After all, he was just arrested yesterday... oops, I mean, we were just caught chatting together, so whatever he says now is wrong.

After giving a few more instructions, and seeing that time was running out, Lin Jianxia reluctantly let the two of them leave.

On the sidewalk, the sky was half-dawn.

Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Tingwan beside him and tentatively asked:

"Wanwan, what did your sister say when she called you back yesterday?"

Perhaps because she knew her younger sister's situation, after Jiang Yubai's heartfelt explanation, Lin Jianxia didn't actually dismember him and throw him into the river to feed the fish.

After finishing their meal, she pulled Lin Tingwan back to their room, where the two sisters talked for a long time behind closed doors.
