Sister, can I be a maid too?

Jiang Yubai turned his head with a serious expression.

Lin Jianxia didn't believe it at all, but simply hid her little feet behind her back, her eyes clearly showing a hint of disgust.

Jiang Yubai ignored her gaze, released her hand, and said lazily:

"Alright, alright, since you're not going out... I'll go out first, okay? You can decide how to get back yourself later."

Lin Jianxia behaved unusually well, giving a soft "oh".

Jiang Yubai gave her a strange look, but didn't pay it any mind. She got up, brushed her teeth, and washed up in two minutes. As soon as she opened the bedroom door, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

Jiang Yubai turned his head in confusion, and a pillow came into view from afar, finally slapping him on the forehead with a thud.

Immediately afterwards, someone pushed my shoulder, and the bedroom door slammed shut with a 'bang'.

"Hehe~~"

A triumphant laugh came from inside.

Jiang Yubai glanced at the door speechlessly, thinking that this guy was as childish as a little kid. He was too lazy to argue with this idiot and went straight to sit on the sofa in the living room.

Just as I was about to pull up my pajama pants to see the teeth marks on my leg, I suddenly heard a soft "creak" sound.

He looked up in confusion, only to see Lin Tingwan, dressed in pajamas, return with a pillow in her arms. To his astonishment, she quietly sat down next to him.

"No..." Jiang Yubai said blankly, "Wanwan, didn't you go back to sleep?"

Lin Tingwan took out her notebook, wrote something down, and showed it to him:

"I can't sleep."

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

No, if you can't sleep now, won't you be completely doomed when Lin Jianxia comes out?

He cleared his throat and deliberately raised his voice:

"Can't sleep, Wanwan? Let's watch some TV then."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the bedroom door out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, the bedroom door was pushed open a crack very gently, and then a small face full of nervousness peeked out.

When Lin Jianxia saw Lin Tingwan sitting next to Jiang Yubai, she froze and her eyes widened.

Jiang Yubai reached out and turned on the TV. While chatting with Lin Tingwan, he desperately tried to signal her with his eyes to leave quickly.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Jianxia, ​​dressed in a maid outfit, tiptoed out.

She practically hugged the wall, almost slipping into the entryway—

"Clap."

I don't know what little thing I kicked, because there was a soft sound.

Lin Tingwan, who was quietly watching TV, suddenly raised her head, as if she had noticed something, and subconsciously turned her head to look to the side.

—Hey Lin Jianxia, ​​do you even know what you're doing?!

Jiang Yubai's mind went blank for a moment. Without thinking, he stretched out his arm and pulled the girl, who was halfway turning her head, into his arms.

Lin Tingwan bumped into his chest unexpectedly and blinked blankly.

But soon, the girl relaxed, reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, her eyes narrowing with satisfaction.

Lin Jianxia froze in place, staring blankly at the scene, seemingly still not understanding what had happened.

Jiang Yubai gently rested his chin on Lin Tingwan's shoulder and winked at Lin Jianxia.

Eyes facing each other.

Chapter 162 Dare to tell Wanwan and I'll kill you!

Looking at the two people embracing on the sofa, Lin Jianxia blinked, feeling that something was amiss.

Hesitating for a moment, she saw Jiang Yubai looking in her direction winking at her, clearly telling her to leave quickly.

She then suddenly came to her senses and realized what her current situation was.

Lin Jianxia didn't have time to think much. She quickly and carefully lifted the hem of her maid outfit and, like a cat on tiptoe, continued to move outward along the wall.

Only after seeing the black and white figure completely disappear outside the door did Jiang Yubai silently breathe a sigh of relief, feeling as if cold sweat was about to break out on his back.

Although he knew it was the maid outfit's skirt obstructing his view, he couldn't help but grumble to himself:

Lin Jianxia, ​​can't you even walk properly? We're almost out the door and you're still causing this commotion...

Composing himself, Jiang Yubai released his grip and looked down.

Lin Tingwan tilted her head back, her pale face showing no surprise at being suddenly embraced. Instead, she seemed somewhat reluctant to let go, and even rubbed against him as they parted.

Jiang Yubai casually patted the boy's head and asked:

What does Wanwan want to watch?

There should be a few episodes left of the previous "Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit Seven Swordsmen" series. I wonder if this guy has secretly watched them all.

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan did not pull out her notebook as usual, but simply shook her head slightly.

After spending more time together, Jiang Yubai realized that this meant 'anything goes'.

He didn't rush to turn on the TV, but instead carefully examined the girl's face, and couldn't help but smile:

"Tired?"

Lin Tingwan nodded at this point.

Jiang Yubai found it somewhat amusing.

This girl just ran back, and then ran back a little while later saying she couldn't sleep. Now she's leaning against the sofa, and after he hugged her, she's actually sleepy.

Just then, the girl's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, as if she really wanted to catch up on her sleep there.

"Wait, wait, don't go to sleep yet."

Jiang Yubai straightened the girl's head, got up, put on his slippers, and went into the study. A moment later, he came out carrying a blanket.

He sat back on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, then gently helped the girl to rest her head on his lap and covered her with a blanket.

Thankfully, the sofa was extra large, so Lin Tingwan didn't find it too small to lie on.

"Is it comfortable?" He glanced down at her. "Would you like to add a pillow?"

The girl's long, soft hair cascaded over his legs, and her bright eyes gazed at him.

Hmm... judging from this, it seems we don't need it.

Jiang Yubai stared at her for a few seconds, then finally couldn't resist poking her little face again; it felt soft and smooth to the touch.

"Aren't you sleepy? Go to sleep, why are you staring at me?"

From this angle, the girl looks exceptionally adorable as she rests her head on his lap.

Her long, loose hair spread out like silk across his dark pajama bottoms, and her small face nestled against his thigh, rising and falling gently with her breath.

He couldn't help but rub her chin with the back of his fingers again, leaving a soft, warm touch on her delicate skin.

It seems like... no matter how much you tease them, they never get tired of it.

But thinking that he needed to let her get a good night's sleep, Jiang Yubai reluctantly stopped.

To his surprise, Lin Tingwan was even more reluctant than he was. She turned her little face and gently rubbed against his fingers, like a dazed kitten looking for its nest, only feeling at ease when she was close to him.

Only after Jiang Yubai glared at her as if he were angry did the girl slowly close her eyes.

Soon, his breathing became even.

Jiang Yubai randomly picked a program and turned the volume down a bit.

I originally just wanted to watch something casually, but as I watched TV, my gaze couldn't help but drift down to the rosy, peaceful sleeping face of the girl on my lap.

I have to say, that little face... is indeed quite pretty.

Just as I was engrossed in watching, a very soft "click" sound came from the doorway.

Jiang Yubai looked up and saw Lin Jianxia, ​​who had changed into casual clothes, tiptoeing into the entrance hall and peeking into the living room.

He wanted to laugh when he saw the guy's sneaky appearance. He pointed to Lin Tingwan on his lap and put his index finger to his lips to signal for quiet.

Lin Jianxia blinked, unconsciously slowing her steps and gently moving to the sofa.

She first glanced at her sleeping sister, Lin Tingwan, who was fast asleep with a slight smile on her lips, as if she were dreaming of something happy.

After watching for a while, Lin Jianxia's gaze gradually turned resentful. She plopped down next to Jiang Yubai and stared at him without saying a word.

Why are you looking at me?

Jiang Yubai lowered his voice and solemnly fabricated a lie.

"Your sister said it's comfortable to use this as a pillow, so I can't do anything about it."

Lin Jianxia gave him a light punch.

—Hey, you dare to hit someone?

Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes and muttered under his breath:

"Lin Jianxia, ​​are you acting out some kind of soap opera? You're about to sneak out, and you still have to kick the shoe rack?"

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but her little face immediately fell:

"That skirt is too big! I... I was so focused on looking this way... I didn't watch my step..."

"If I hadn't been quick-witted and nimble-fisted, you'd be explaining yourself later," Jiang Yu chuckled. "Shouldn't you thank me for that?"

Lin Jianxia felt something was off, but the words seemed impeccable, so she subconsciously replied:

".....Thanks?"

She suddenly realized what she had just said.

What quick reflexes? This guy is hugging his own sister, and I still have to thank him!

"Jiang Yubai!" The little hedgehog bristled.

"Hey, hey, hey," Jiang Yubai said irritably, "Keep your voice down, or you'll have to explain yourself if you wake someone up."
