Sister, can I be a maid too?

Lin Jianxia blinked her eyes:

"...What are your requirements?"

"It looks good." Jiang Yubai said decisively.

"What kind of high demands are these?!"

"It's very tall, okay? It's not just ordinary good-looking."

Jiang Yubai paused, then suddenly turned his head to look at her and laughed.

"But to be honest, if we had met earlier... you might have become my first crush."

Lin Jianxia's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"Pah... You make it sound like some kind of honor..."

She turned her head away, trying to appear indifferent, but her heart was pounding and her ears were burning.

—Is this... a compliment on her looks?

"What about you?" Jiang Yubai asked curiously.

"I...I what...."

Jiang Yubai counted them one by one on his fingers:

"For example, your ambiguous romantic interests, experiences of having a crush, your romantic history... just say whatever you want."

"I've already told you everything honestly. It would be too much for you to keep hiding anything from me."

Lin Jianxia composed herself, looked at him for two seconds, then suddenly curled her lip and spoke rapidly:

No, no, still no.

"Why don't you have any either?" Jiang Yubai asked with the same suspicious expression. "You're not lying to me, are you?"

“I’m a model student too, is that not allowed?” Lin Jianxia glared at him.

She really didn't.

Aside from Jiang Yubai, she couldn't find another boy she had ever spoken to, let alone anyone else.

"Alright, I've finished asking... wait a minute."

Lin Jianxia suddenly paused, her voice rising slightly at the end.

"There's one last question."

"Go ahead and ask."

Jiang Yubai didn't care.

Lin Jianxia coughed lightly, trying to make her voice sound more serious:

"Who is the most beautiful girl you've ever seen?"

Jiang Yubai was silent for two seconds, then squinted and asked:

"...Is this considered an emotional issue?"

"Oh, tell me quickly!"

Jiang Yubai had no idea what this guy was up to. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that... there was only one answer.

He clicked his tongue: "Who else could it be? It's just—"

He paused, the words on the tip of his tongue, and chuckled.

"Take a guess."

—Why guess? Just say it!

Lin Jianxia was furious at his sudden braking and gritted her teeth as she asked:

"Is it someone from our class?"

“That’s right,” Jiang Yubai answered readily.

Do you see me every day?

“Yes, we see each other every day.” Jiang Yubai nodded.

"Isn't she... quite pretty?"

"Of course, you asked me if I'm the prettiest."

Jiang Yubai answered without hesitation, his gaze lingering meaningfully on her face for a moment.

Lin Jianxia's heart was already bubbling with joy, and her face couldn't hide her anticipation as she whispered, "..."

"Who...who is that?"

Jiang Yubai, seeing her nervous yet expectant expression, finally couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Lin Tingwan."

Lin Jianxia's expression froze on her face, her eyes widening in disbelief.

She stared at the grinning Jiang Yubai for a few seconds, then suddenly pouted:

"Tch, they're all the same!"

—If you're too embarrassed to say it, just say it. Don't use your own Wanwan as an excuse...

They're twins!

Just as he was muttering to himself, he saw Jiang Yubai shake his head seriously:

"wrong."

"What's wrong?" Lin Jianxia was taken aback.

“Your temperament is different.” Jiang Yubai’s tone was sincere, and his eyes were clear.

Lin Jianxia: "......."

Although she knew this guy was deliberately teasing her, Lin Jianxia had to admit it—

I'm really, really angry!

Lin Jianxia angrily stretched out her hand:

"Give me your schoolbag!"

When she was looking for draft paper earlier, she casually stuffed her schoolbag into Jiang Yubai's hand, and now it was hanging steadily on his shoulder.

“We’re almost home,” Jiang Yubai rolled her eyes. “Sister, isn’t it a little too late that you’re only just realizing this now?”

...Never mind you, go ahead and memorize it if you want!

Lin Jianxia deliberately slowed down, falling two steps behind him, her eyes darting left and right, wondering if she could find a brick or something to secretly slip into her schoolbag.

The next second, my forehead hit something hard with a "thud".

"Ouch!"

She rubbed her forehead and looked up, only to meet Jiang Yubai's somewhat speechless gaze.

Why did you suddenly stop?

Lin Jianxia's eyes widened as she turned the tables on him.

"Buy some chicken wings for your Wanwan," Jiang Yubai gestured towards the barbecue stall next to them. "Did you leave all your intelligence in the exam room? It's dropped quite a bit now."

Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth, but in the end she couldn't hold back and gave him a light but not too heavy punch on the arm.

Jiang Yubai ignored her and went straight to the point:

"Auntie, please have three skewers of chicken wings, three skewers of mushrooms, three skewers of lamb, and three skewers of potatoes—one spicy and two non-spicy."

The auntie who ran the stall was already familiar with the man and woman who always loved to bicker, and with a kind, maternal smile on her face, she readily agreed:

"Okay~"

Lin Jianxia gazed at the sizzling skewers on the grill and couldn't help but speak again:

"Um... three more skewers of rice cake..."

Jiang Yubai glanced at her and nodded to the aunt.

Lin Jianxia's mood immediately improved. She secretly glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and moved half a step closer to him without making a sound.

Chapter 157: Which Master?

"Hey Mom, when should I come home for Chinese New Year?"

"We have to wait a little longer? Why?"

"What do you mean you're still outside?"

".......Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yubai's expression was quite subtle.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Jianxia shifted her attention from the TV series and turned her head curiously.

Jiang Yubai glanced at his phone and said with a slight ache:

"It's nothing, it's just... I might be going back later than you two."

He turned his head and looked at the two sisters sitting in a row on the sofa.

Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan were both wearing fluffy pajamas, wrapped in the same blanket, watching "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Heroes" on TV.

Two little heads peeked out from the edge of the blanket, very close together, both looking incredibly cute.

It's been almost a week since the exams ended.

After getting through the intense review period before the exam, the group finally had a rare moment of relaxation.

I allow myself a little extra sleep each day, and instead of going to the study in my free time, I comfortably curl up on the sofa and watch TV for a while, enjoying this long-lost leisure.
