Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Brother Jiang!"

The sound from behind him interrupted his thoughts.

Turning his head, he saw his good friend Li Yang walking over with his classmate Wang Jianglong.

"Brother Jiang, what a coincidence!"

Li Yang eagerly stepped forward, his gaze naturally sweeping over Jiang Yubai's side, before he suddenly froze—

—No? So you're openly holding hands now?

—So it turns out my brother Jiang wasn't bragging before; if he said it would be soon, it really would be soon!

However, he still remembered Jiang Yubai's previous instructions. This time, he didn't take the initiative to greet him, but instead gave Jiang Yubai a look full of admiration.

Wang Jianglong, who was standing to the side, was not very familiar with the two of them either. He simply called out "Brother Jiang" and then stopped talking.

"You two are here too?"

Jiang Yubai nodded as a greeting.

"Hey Jiang, has it started yet?" Li Yang stood on tiptoe and peered into the arena.

"Not yet, we just arrived, it should be soon."

The words had barely left his mouth when the loudspeaker suddenly blared:

[All teams participating in the senior year tug-of-war finals, please assemble immediately at the small playground next to the basketball court for registration!]

Suddenly, the surrounding area became lively, and the crowd surged forward.

Li Yang shouted, "Brother Jiang, let's push forward!" and pulled Wang Jianglong into the crowd.

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes as the wall of people in front of her grew denser and denser, and her original front row position was almost at the back. She immediately frowned.

No, if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to see at all...

He glanced at Lin Tingwan beside him, then grabbed the girl's wrist and gently pulled her in front of him.

After placing his hands protectively on either side of the girl to ensure no one could push or touch her, Jiang Yubai politely said, "Excuse me, may I pass?" while rudely squeezing his way in.

As it turns out, this tactic, honed in the crowded convenience store, proved quite effective.

The two managed to squeeze through the gaps in the crowd to the very front.

Jiang Yubai only breathed a sigh of relief after he had secured a spot in the very front row of the stadium.

After all, this tug-of-war was an activity that Lin Tingwan had specifically expressed interest in. If he was blocked from seeing it by the crowd, he would feel guilty even if he didn't say anything.

After confirming that he had protected the person in his arms well, Jiang Yubai was still a little worried and lowered his voice to give another instruction:

"If you feel crowded or uncomfortable, just tell me. If it's really too much, I'll help you get out."

Although he spoke very softly, the two girls standing next to him still heard him.

The two looked at each other, nudged each other, and smiled knowingly.

Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed, so he simply pretended not to see it and stared straight into the arena.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Tingwan raised her head, first looked at him, and then her gaze fell on the arms that were protecting her.

As she looked at him, her gaze softened, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

The girl pursed her lips, like a small animal that had found a safe corner, and quietly...

She pressed herself even deeper into his embrace.

......

Chapter 135 Is my sister using her legs as a pillow here?

With a crisp whistle, the tug-of-war semi-final between Class 1 and Class 5 officially began.

"come on! Come on!"

"Go Class One!!"

"Hold on, Class 5!!!"

The onlookers from Class 1 and Class 5 shouted louder and louder, cheering for their classmates with all their might.

Jiang Yubai, who is in Class 3, doesn't have as much pressure to win or lose.

After glancing down to make sure Lin Tingwan wasn't intimidated by the commotion, he leisurely watched the spectacle.

At first, the red cloth in the center of the rope was swaying back and forth near the center line, with both sides evenly matched.

But gradually, the fifth class, whose physiques were clearly superior, began to exert their strength, and the rope moved towards them inch by inch.

"boom!"

The last member of the fifth squad suddenly sat back down, and at the same time, the whistle blew loudly.

"We won!!!"

The fifth class cheered immediately.

On the other side, the match between Class 8 and Class 9 also came to a conclusion—judging from the cheers that erupted over there, Class 8 must have won.

That's normal. Class 8 is known as the sports class in the grade, and everyone there is tall and strong.

According to the schedule, the final match will be held here in twenty minutes, so most of the spectators did not leave and waited for the next match to begin.

The fifth-grade players were called aside by the PE teacher for an emergency tactical discussion, while the surrounding students discussed the match in small groups.

Jiang Yubai looked down at the girl in his arms and asked softly:

"how do you feel?"

Lin Tingwan took out a spiral notebook from her small bag, and wrote a line down:

"It's very beautiful."

"As long as it looks good." Jiang Yubai immediately felt relieved. "Then let's wait here for a while. There's another final match coming up, which will also be held here."

Lin Tingwan nodded obediently.

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then spoke again:

"By the way, I remember during last year's sports meet, I don't know if the school cut corners on the tug-of-war rope to save money, but it broke in the middle with a 'snap' halfway through the competition."

"The students on both sides all fell flat on their backs, and I was right there, laughing so hard..."

Jiang Yubai, fearing that she was still not used to the crowded environment, told her some interesting stories about the sports meet in a relaxed tone.

Lin Tingwan listened attentively, occasionally taking out her notebook to ask questions.

Perhaps because they had been standing for a long time, some students simply sat down on the ground.

Once there was a first one, there was a second, a third... Gradually, more and more students sat down around the venue.

Jiang Yubai was still telling Lin Tingwan a story when he suddenly felt that the noise around him seemed to have subsided.

He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw that in the huge space, most of the students had already sat down and formed a circle, with only a few people still standing.

He and Lin Tingwan became the two most conspicuous people among those standing, attracting many glances that seemed to drift towards them unintentionally.

Although Jiang Yubai doesn't care much about other people's opinions, he is indeed a bit conspicuous now.

He thought for a moment, then looked down at Lin Tingwan:

"Wanwan, would you like to sit down for a bit?"

Lin Tingwan nodded obediently.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Yubai took out a few napkins from his bag, spread them out on the cement floor, and sat down first.

Lin Tingwan followed his movements and sat down, hugging her knees with both hands and gently leaning against him.

Before Jiang Yubai could speak, a cheerful voice came from beside him:

"Senior, you and your senior have such a good relationship!"

Turning my head in the direction of the sound, I saw two high school girls sitting next to me, their school uniform jackets loosely draped over their shoulders, smiling at me.

...You two were the ones making those winks just now, weren't you?

Jiang Yubai nodded, only humming in response, and didn't intend to talk any further.

He didn't want to say more, but the two junior girls clearly weren't going to let him off the hook.

The one sitting a little further away leaned forward curiously, while the one sitting closer introduced themselves with a grin:

"Hi senior! My name is Jiang Tingzhou, and I'm in Class 2 of the second year of high school. Next to me is my best friend, also from Class 2, her name is Lu Yitang~"

Lu Yitang outside also waved.

Seeing how generous the other party was, Jiang Yubai couldn't remain silent any longer, so he had no choice but to speak:

"My name is Jiang Yubai, and her name is Lin Tingwan. They don't talk much."

"Oh, oh, oh," Jiang Tingzhou couldn't help but ask curiously, "So, how long have you been together, senior?"

Jiang Yu glanced at her, then began to tell a lie with a straight face:

"Together? No... We're just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friends?"

On the other side, Lu Yitang couldn't help but speak up, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them, her tone clearly filled with disbelief.

Jiang Tingzhou nodded in agreement.

After all, they've seen plenty of young couples, but they've never seen anyone protect someone from head to toe like this, treating them like they're afraid they'll melt.

What's more, this senior actually said he was just a regular friend?

No way... no ordinary friends are like this!

Jiang Yubai naturally had no idea what they were thinking—even if she did, she wouldn't care, and simply continued to slowly ramble on:

"Yes, we're just friends, but we're actually childhood sweethearts who grew up together."

Lin Tingwan, nestled in his arms, blinked her eyes and looked up at him with her small face.

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the two girls next to them lit up instantly.
