Sister, can I be a maid too?

She pursed her lips and hummed:

"I just wanted to ask how today's sports meet went..."

So that's what you wanted to ask...

Jiang Yubai was multitasking, writing the question while replying:

"That's great. The morning is mostly filled with the finals of several events from yesterday, as well as shot put, 800 and 1000 shots and such."

"Anything fun to do?"

Lin Jianxia unconsciously moved a little closer.

"Fun things?" Jiang Yubai raised his head. "Let me think... there really are some."

"By the way, He Yan, the guy in our class who runs the 1000 meters, lost his shoe on the last lap. Qiu Yibo, who was running alongside him, laughed so hard that he lay down on the grass."

Lin Jianxia chuckled upon hearing this: "Really?"

"Really, really, our sports committee even filmed a video, but I didn't save it. If you want to see it, I'll ask them for it."

"Never mind then... Is there any more?"

"Yes, the standing long jump is where the most talented people come from."

"Let's not even talk about the fouls. There was one who fell on his butt right after jumping, another who swung his arm too hard and almost hit the referee in the face, and yet another who twisted his ankle and rolled all the way into the sandpit."

Lin Jianxia's eyes lit up, clearly remembering:

"Hey, hey, I know that. Did you take pictures?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Jiang Yubai twirled his pen and continued:

"There wasn't much in the morning, but in the afternoon it was a fun sports day, with three-legged races, kangaroo jumps, and ball-carrying games, all the same old stuff."

He had just casually said those words when his pen paused, as if he had remembered something:

"Wait a minute... Lin Jianxia, ​​you haven't watched it even once, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia's face immediately fell:

"Otherwise, I was doing my homework in class at the time, okay?"

For Jiang Yubai, the events at this fun sports meet were the same three things every year;

As for Lin Jianxia, ​​she probably only knew his name on the application form and didn't even know the rules.

Jiang Yubai simply stopped writing and started gesturing to her on his fingers:

“Look, kangaroo hop is when a person crawls into a sack, holds onto the edge, and hops forward—the key is not to fall or let the sack fall off.”

"The relay involves two people walking sideways with a ball between their backs. The ball cannot be dropped or touched with their hands, otherwise they have to go back to the starting point and start over."

"The three-legged race is even simpler. Just tie your two adjacent legs together with Wanwan's, and you have to shout slogans and take steps together. When you run, you'll be like conjoined twins."

"However, this makes it very easy to fall, and the tighter it is tied, the worse the fall will be."

He chuckled as he spoke:

"Sigh, it's a real shame you weren't there. Just hearing me describe many scenes doesn't quite capture the feeling."

"The ball-clamping game was relatively stable, but the kangaroo jump game... I don't know which class got a huge sack, but one boy jumped halfway and fell right in, rolling twice before finally climbing out..."

"Over there, the three-legged race was even more chaotic, with people falling over one another. Not only were they falling, but several men and women were also involved, clearly with ulterior motives."

Lin Jianxia listened with great interest, her lips curving into a wider smile, and even the textbook she was pretending to hold tilted to one side.

Why is it considered having ulterior motives if men and women register together?

She couldn't help but be curious.

"You just don't understand~"

Jiang Yubai glanced at her and calmly explained:

"In a three-legged race, the legs are usually tied together and the two run close together. They have to support each other's waists while running, and if they fall, they roll around in a heap."

"So usually, those who sign up for this kind of activity are either two boys or two girls."

"The opposite sex who dare to apply together... are either young couples or still in the ambiguous stage of dating. The girl agrees half-heartedly after the guy encourages her."

Lin Jianxia was stunned as she listened:

"real or fake?"

"Really, not a single one is wrong."

Jiang Yubai began speaking with great interest.

“Our class only signed up one pair, Ding Yan and Jiang Wenli. The whole class started cheering as soon as they came on stage.”

"And guess what happened? Halfway through the race, the rope came loose, and Jiang Wenli almost fell right into Ding Yan's arms!"

It must be said that gossiping is indeed human nature.

At this point, Lin Jianxia stopped reading her book, and Jiang Yu stopped writing her blank exam paper. The two heads unconsciously came together and started chatting.

They chatted happily for over half an hour, and Jiang Yubai finally managed to tell him all the interesting things that happened at the sports meet.

Lin Jianxia was clearly still somewhat unsatisfied, when suddenly she remembered something:

"By the way, how's Wanwan doing today?"

"Late night?"

Jiang Yubai turned his head to look at her, and asked curiously,

"Didn't you ask me anything when you two were in the room?"

Although she was slightly bothered by his natural way of calling her "Wanwan," Lin Jianxia still pouted and explained:

"She was so tired when she got back that she lay down immediately, her eyes barely open. How could I possibly ask her any more questions..."

"That's why I came to ask you, did something happen to her at the sports meet?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai immediately waved his hand:

"I'm probably just too tired. I treat your Wanwan like a precious gem, afraid she'll fall if I hold her in my hands or melt if I keep her in my mouth, okay?"

Seeing that Lin Jianxia still looked worried, he added:

"Don't worry, didn't you see? When the tug-of-war was so crowded, I was holding her in my arms to protect her. What could possibly happen?"

—That's exactly what I'm worried about, you big bad wolf!

Lin Jianxia pouted and grumbled:

"You...didn't bully Wanwan, did you?"

"?"

Jiang Yubai pointed to himself: "So you're afraid I'll bully her, huh?"

"..." Lin Jianxia's eyes darted around, and she chuckled dryly, "Just in case..."

Jiang Yubai glanced at her twice, then suddenly cleared his throat, sat up straight, and spoke in a serious tone:

"Wanwan is so good, she's so well-behaved and obedient, she'll stay wherever you tell her to."

"She follows me obediently when we go out, and I even feed her snacks from time to time. How could I bear to bully such a cute girl?"

He paused deliberately as he spoke, glancing at her:

"He's much better than that Lin Mouxia who runs around like a madman, can't squeeze into crowds, and almost had to be carried to watch the game."

"?"

Lin Jianxia froze for a few seconds, then her eyes widened in surprise:

"Jiang! Yu! Bai! Where did I run wild? I was right beside you yesterday!"

"You're kidding me, aren't you?!"

Jiang Yubai replied with two words:

"hehe."

Lin Jianxia was furious. She knew this guy was spouting nonsense, but the thought of Jiang Yubai praising Wanwan while complaining about her made her anger rise.

—She just gave him a scarf!

She was about to retort when her eyes suddenly lit up, her expression calmed down, and she cleared her throat:

"Fine... I'll let it go for the sake of someone's 'weak health'."

Now it was Jiang Yu's turn to be stunned:

"What do you mean by physical weakness?"

Lin Jianxia raised the corners of her mouth and looked over with a smile:

"Didn't you say before that your... 'molting period' was just around the corner?"

What's going on?

Jiang Yubai didn't react for a moment, and after a few seconds, he suddenly froze—

Wait a minute, it seems there really is such a thing...

The "egg-shedding period" I made up to fool her before, it seems like it was around these last couple of days...

"what……"

Jiang Yu blinked, and paused for a moment, which was unusual for him.

"So you still remember?"

"Of course I remember!"

Lin Jianxia smiled, her eyes crinkling, but her tone was exceptionally considerate.

"I wasn't feeling well at the time, and you took care of me for several days, didn't you? Now it's my turn to repay you, isn't it?"

"...Don't bother, right? Actually, we guys have very short time."

Jiang Yubai tried to struggle.
