Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Wanwan, how are you feeling? Are you comfortable?"

Lin Tingwan nodded gently, tilted her head up to look at him, her eyes sparkling.

Jiang Yubai couldn't resist and ruffled the soft strands of hair before looking at Lin Jianxia with a hint of smugness:

"So, do you believe me now?"

Although she had already believed most of it in her heart, Lin Jianxia still subconsciously tried to put on a brave face:

"I don't believe it, okay? I... I'll try it myself first."

"Go, go, go."

Jiang Yubai didn't mind, but suddenly he raised a finger warily:

"Hey, let's make this clear beforehand. If I play well, you can't say it's bad, and you're not allowed to take the five yuan back, understand?"

"...What kind of image do you have of me?!" Lin Jianxia glared at him. "Shut up and brag!"

"cut....."

There was no point in arguing further, so Jiang Yubai moved behind Lin Jianxia.

I had been sitting cross-legged for too long, and a wave of tingling and numbness washed over me.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"Um... my legs are numb, you don't mind if I change positions, do you?"

"Whatever," Lin Jianxia grumbled, "Just hurry up and blow it."

With permission, Jiang Yubai stretched out his legs and sat down behind her.

Feeling the warmth from behind, Lin Jianxia shuddered and turned her head warily.

"W-What are you doing?"

"Drying my hair," Jiang Yubai said speechlessly, "What else could I be doing?"

Why are you sitting so close?

Jiang Yubai grew impatient:

"Hey Lin Jianxia, ​​are you going to brag or not? You're not really going to try and get away with not paying those five yuan, are you?"

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia was furious. She gritted her teeth but didn't know what to say, so she simply leaned back in a huff.

—Jiang Xiaobai! If you can't blow it properly, you're doomed!

She thought to herself, fuming.

This time, Jiang Yubai felt a little awkward because of her close proximity. He silently moved back half an inch before turning the hair dryer back on.

A warm breeze gently blew behind my head, accompanied by a steady hum.

Lin Jianxia could feel his fingers passing through her long hair, the movements were very gentle, starting from the roots, parting and lifting strand by strand.

The hairdryer is always kept at just the right distance, not too hot, but hot enough to penetrate wet hair.

Lin Jianxia had initially come with the intention of finding fault, but gradually, her sullen expression somehow became satisfied, and she relaxed comfortably.

He played very slowly, occasionally pausing to smooth out the knots with his fingers before continuing.

The warmth spread in waves from the back of my neck to my ears, and my entire shoulder relaxed as well.

We were just arguing a moment ago, but now I feel an indescribable comfort, like being wrapped in a sun-warmed blanket, warm and cozy, making me want to squint my eyes.

So this is what it feels like to have your hair blow-dried so patiently.

Jiang Yubai patiently combed her long hair, and he could feel Lin Jianxia gradually relaxing from her initial tension.

Every time his fingers accidentally touched her earlobe, she would shudder sensitively.

But soon, that tension will slowly melt away under the continuous hot air and gentle caresses, and it will soften again.

Jiang Yubai found her reaction somewhat amusing, and sometimes he would deliberately touch her earlobe, then watch with satisfaction as the little hedgehog trembled all over.

After about ten minutes, he finally dried and fluffed up the last strand of hair.

The room immediately became quiet after the hairdryer was turned off.

Jiang Yubai got out of bed, casually ruffled the guy's hair, and said casually:

"Okay, okay, all done blowing. How about we check it out?"

But Lin Jianxia, ​​sitting there, seemed a little dazed from the warm breeze. She was several beats slow before letting out a soft "hmm" and blinking blankly.

"...Are you done yet?"

That rare display of her soft and cute demeanor left Jiang Yu Bai momentarily stunned.

Lin Tingwan, who had been watching quietly from the side, blinked, then suddenly reached out and gently poked her older sister's cheek.

"Ugh, whoa!"

Lin Jianxia let out a soft cry, like a small animal that had been startled awake.

Jiang Yubai gave Lin Tingwan a look that said, "Well done!"

Lin Jianxia finally came to her full senses. She first glanced at her younger sister, then her gaze fell on Jiang Yubai.

For some reason, her ears turned slightly red. She looked away and muttered softly:

"It's...not bad..."

Jiang Yubai found it amusing and deliberately teased her:

"Hey, you don't need to pay back that five yuan, right?"

"No need!"

For some reason, Lin Jianxia's ears turned increasingly red, and she suddenly started shooing people away.

"You're done playing, right? Now hurry up and go, Wanwan and I need to sleep! Don't disturb our rest!"

"Hey, hey, hey, you just finished praising me and now you're abandoning me?"

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain.

Lin Jianxia didn't answer, but stood up abruptly, put her small hands on his shoulders, and pushed him toward the door.

"Alright, alright, I'll go by myself," Jiang Yubai said casually to the two of them from outside the door. "Goodnight then."

Lin Jianxia paused in closing the door, and a muffled humming sound drifted out from the crack in the door:

"Goodnight...."

Then the door slammed shut with a thud.

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

No, why is this customer service so rude? At least give them a five-star review!

He shook his head, slipped on his slippers, and walked back to his bedroom.

Sigh, it's hard to earn those five dollars.

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

Back in his room, Jiang Yubai didn't go to sleep immediately; instead, he went to the bathroom.

After washing up again and cleaning off all the hair on his body, he went into his room to change into his pajamas.

After lying back on his soft bed, Jiang Yubai let out a long sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes, his breathing gradually became steady, and he waited for sleepiness to pull him into his dreams.

Waiting and waiting...

Waiting and waiting...

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yubai frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

Something's not right.

Why can't I sleep?

Surely you can't be so excited about blow-drying two beautiful girls' hair that you can't sleep, right?

I don't think I'm that pathetic...

Somewhat disbelieving, he rolled over, closed his eyes, and began counting sheep.

Even after counting more than three hundred, Jiang Yubai was still wide awake, as energetic as if he had just had a good nap.

He had only seen this happen when he had drunk coffee or strong tea, that—

Wait, strong tea?

Jiang Yubai paused for a moment, as if he had remembered something.

Wait a minute... Did Lin Jianxia add green tea to the milk tea she bought for herself?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai was speechless.

This girl probably doesn't drink milk tea much usually, and he himself never touches it either. Neither of them realized what drinking milk tea at nine o'clock at night meant.

So, does that mean... Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan, those two sisters, also can't sleep?

Wait a minute, that's not right. I don't know about Lin Tingwan's cup, but Lin Jianxia's cup is mango pomelo sago, so where did the tea come from?

They're probably fast asleep right now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai's lips twitched involuntarily.

Amazing!

Just as I was lost in thought, a soft "click" sound suddenly came from the quiet environment.

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened his eyes.

What the heck... Did a thief break in?

He listened intently, his ears perked up.

Because the room was fairly soundproof, the next few seconds were completely silent, so quiet that he wondered if he had misheard.

But the next second, there was another soft "click".
