Sister, can I be a maid too?

"No, it's very comfortable to sit in."

"As long as you're comfortable," Lin Jianxia couldn't help but chuckle. "What would you like to watch last night? You can request something."

Lin Tingwan gently shook her head, then turned her gaze to the flowing street scene outside the window.

After observing for a few seconds and confirming that her younger sister was in a stable condition, Lin Jianxia felt relieved and then curiously began to examine the armrest of her own seat.

This button is for reclining, that one is for adjusting the lumbar support...

She tentatively pressed a few buttons, adjusting the seat to a comfortable semi-reclining angle, and then noticed a small icon with a wavy pattern next to it.

—Massage function?

Her eyes brightened slightly, and she gently pressed down.

A subtle vibration came from deep within the seat, followed by a gentle and rhythmic massage on my back and sides.

Lin Jianxia's body stiffened slightly, but she quickly relaxed under the just-right massage, squinting her eyes in comfort.

Woohoo...

So comfortable...

She suddenly felt that spending those tens of yuan was totally worth it.

No need to squeeze onto a bus in the cold wind, transfer buses, and then drag your luggage for half an hour.

The carriage was warm and quiet, with large, soft seats. She could sink into them, comfortably recline, and happily enjoy a massage.

so nice~

Lin Jianxia squinted and enjoyed the moment for a while, then suddenly remembered her younger sister beside her.

She straightened up slightly, and just as she turned her head to ask Wanwan if she wanted to try a massage, she saw Lin Tingwan holding up her phone, the light from the screen reflecting on her quiet profile, looking at something.

Just as I was wondering, I saw my younger sister pick up the small spiral notebook from her side, write a few words, and then take a picture of it with her phone.

......Um?

Lin Jianxia looked at it for a few seconds, and finally couldn't help but ask softly:

"Wanwan? What are you doing?"

Lin Tingwan turned her head to look at her older sister, put down her phone, wrote something in her notebook, and held it up in front of her.

"Chatting with Jiang Yubai."

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

No, we've only been gone for ten minutes! How did you end up chatting with that idiot?!

Are you really that reluctant to part with it?

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, hesitated, and swallowed the words back. In the end, she just said "Oh" softly and leaned back in her chair.

Lin Tingwan continued to look down at her phone.

The carriage fell silent for a moment, with only the low hum of the massage seats and the scratching of a pen nib across the paper.

"..."

"..."

"Late night?"

Lin Tingwan raised her little head and looked over in confusion, only to find that her older sister had somehow gotten close to her.

"that...."

Lin Jianxia coughed lightly, her eyes wandering for some reason.

"What are you and Jiang Yubai talking about? Let your sister see."

Seeing her sister's eager look as she approached, Lin Tingwan glanced down at her phone, then handed it over without hesitation.

Lin Jianxia's eyes lit up, he chuckled twice, and reached out to pat his own Wanwan's little head:

"Be a good girl, Wanwan~"

She took the phone and looked at it with some curiosity.

Lin Tingwan's nickname for Jiang Yubai was very simple; it was simply Jiang Yubai.

[Jiang Yubai]: 111111

[Jiang Yubai]: Wanwan, if you have any questions, just talk to me on QQ.

Next up are photos of my own Wanwan.

Lin Tingwan: "Okay."

[Jiang Yubai]: By the way, how is the car? Is it comfortable to ride in?

Lin Tingwan: "Very comfortable."

[Jiang Yubai]: Mm, as long as it's comfortable... By the way, what's Lin Jianxia doing?

[Lin Tingwan]: "My sister is getting a massage."

[Jiang Yubai]: Oh, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Why don't you ask your sister to set one up for you too?

The input box below is still empty, probably because they haven't had time to reply yet.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, muttering to herself:

—Pah! What do you mean by knowing how to enjoy life? I'm just... I'm just gathering material, okay?!

She gritted her teeth and tapped the screen rapidly with her fingertips.

[Lin Tingwan]: What do you mean by enjoyment? This is a serious experience, researching my massage techniques for the future!

The other end sent it a few seconds late.

[Jiang Yubai]: ?

[Jiang Yubai]: Lin Jianxia, ​​have you no shame? You stole your sister's phone to reply to messages, didn't you?

Lin Jianxia frowned.

[Lin Tingwan]: What? You're disgusted with me, aren't you?

[Jiang Yubai]: Hmm... a little.

Lin Jianxia was furious and typed angrily:

[Lin Tingwan]: Bah, I'd rather look down on you!

[Lin Tingwan]: Then you chat with Wanwan, I'm going to continue enjoying my massage.

[Jiang Yubai]: Remember to adjust the massage for your Wanwan too.

Lin Jianxia: ?

[Lin Tingwan]: I know!

—Pah! That matter-of-fact tone, still calling her "your Wanwan," I bet in a while she'll be calling her "my Wanwan"!

She muttered to herself, annoyed, and handed the phone back to her sister. Then, she leaned over and pressed a few buttons on the armrest panel on her sister's side.

After thinking about it, I adjusted it to the same speed as my own.

"Is this comfortable?" Lin Jianxia asked.

Seeing her sister nod gently, she breathed a sigh of relief, sank back into her seat, and closed her eyes.

The massage gently rubbed her back, and she listened to the soft rustling of a pen nib gliding across the paper beside her, gradually relaxing.

Outside the car window, the winter street scene flowed past at a steady pace.

......

......

Lin Jianxia rubbed her eyes, propped herself up, and looked out the window.

As we approached our destination, the scenery outside the car gradually changed from dense buildings to endless fields.

She glanced at her phone, then drifted off to sleep, probably for about twenty minutes.

Turning my head to look, I saw that Lin Tingwan had closed her eyes at some point, and her breathing was even, so she had obviously fallen asleep.

Seemingly noticing that she was awake, the woman in the driver's seat glanced at her through the rearview mirror and spoke gently:

"Young ladies, we'll be there in about five minutes. Get ready."

"Okay... thank you, Auntie."

Lin Jianxia politely thanked her, but her gaze involuntarily drifted to the window.

If Jinxiu New Village is considered part of the old town, then Changliu Village in Qing'an District can be described as the complete suburbs.

The fields in winter exposed the dark brown soil, and scattered farmhouses lay quietly in the twilight in the distance—a familiar sight to her.

She and Wanwan spent their childhood here.

There was an abandoned textile factory, its red brick walls covered with withered vines; there was a frighteningly large old locust tree, its leaves all fallen in winter.

Further ahead, there is a long stream, now so shallow that the bottom can be seen.

The further in you go, the slower the car drives.

Lin Jianxia hesitated for a few seconds, then couldn't help but speak:

"Auntie, the place we chose is the entrance of Changliu Village, right?"

"Yes, it's up ahead."

"Um...could you please move in just a little bit more?"

Lin Jianxia lowered her voice a little.

"It's only about 200 meters away... I can pay extra."

"Is it hard to move the New Year's goods?" The aunt glanced at her in the rearview mirror and laughed. "It's okay, it's just a matter of stepping on the gas, why would I charge extra?"

Lin Jianxia felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you, Auntie!"

Guided by the girl's soft voice, the van finally stopped in front of a simple little courtyard.
