Sister, can I be a maid too?

Following the teacher's gaze—

Lin Jianxia froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Jiang Yubai and his younger sister were sleeping soundly together on the same pillow, showing no signs of waking up.

He even put his hand on Wanwan's shoulder!

What?! Ah!

This is a school!

In the classroom!

Jiang Yubai, you pulled out a pillow, fine, but why do you want to sleep with Wanwan?

Fine, go to sleep, but what's with putting your pig's trotter on someone's shoulder? Does hugging a pretty girl make you sleep any better?!

Hugging is fine, but are you two pigs? Can't the school bell wake you up?!

There were already rumors circulating at school, and you two are still acting like this, won't people just keep gossiping behind your backs every day!

No, I have to give those two reckless kids a good talking-to after school!

Lin Jianxia grew angrier the more she thought about it, and that familiar, sour, indescribable little emotion welled up in her heart again.

Just when she was about to feel so wronged that she couldn't take it anymore, she suddenly paused, as if she remembered something.

—Wait a minute, tomorrow... isn't it my turn to go up?

Lin Jianxia blinked, and her face, which had been puffed up with anger just moments before, suddenly deflated.

Sleeping on a pillow... doesn't seem like a bad idea after all.

After all, this table is rock hard, and my arm went numb from sleeping...

Sleeping together...it's a bit close, but it's not impossible, just don't let that paw touch me!

I'm not Wanwan!

As for gossip and such...

Pshaw, say whatever you want! A good nap at noon is definitely more important than gossiping!

Anyway, I've already slept last night... so, so it's not a big deal if I sleep a little longer.

As I pondered, that oppressive feeling vanished without a trace, like clouds scattered by the wind.

She pursed her lips, which had inexplicably curled up at the corners, and turned her attention back to the exam paper on the table.

As she looked at it, Lin Jianxia's face fell.

—Isn't this the type of question Jiang Yubai explained to me before...? How did I get it wrong again...?

—Pah, I'll get nagged by that jerk again when I get back.

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

Zhao Yun appeared to be listening attentively, but in reality, most of her attention was focused on her new deskmate.

When she saw Jiang Yubai and Lin Tingwan sitting head to head, the first thing that came to her mind wasn't bitterness, but rather an instinctive glance at her own deskmate.

And then...

She witnessed firsthand how a person's aura can become dangerous.

The chilling resentment and murderous aura emanating from him made her feel cold all over, and she almost couldn't breathe.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yubai again, silently lighting a candle for him in her heart.

She knew it! Even if they're sisters, how could they possibly accept something like this without any reservations...?

Especially Jiang Yubai, who showed no sign of restraint whatsoever, sleeping on the same pillow as Lin Tingwan right in front of Lin Jianxia, ​​which was simply...

It seems that when Jiang Yubai gets back, he'll have bruises all over his body, at least a few here and there.

As Zhao Yun was thinking about whether to persuade her deskmate, she suddenly felt the murderous aura vanish.

She paused for a moment, then looked over without making a sound.

Lin Jianxia, ​​who had just been sulking and looked like she was about to explode, now had a relaxed expression and even a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

Zhao Yun even rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things.

Am I seeing a ghost?

It turned out that Lin Jianxia not only stopped glaring at Jiang Yubai, but instead rested her chin on her hand, her eyes darting around, and her face revealed a hint of undisguised...smugness?

Zhao Yun: "??????"

No, did I miss something in the plot?

For example, the male lead chases the female lead for eight blocks, begging for her forgiveness and promising he'll never do it again, blah blah blah...

Isn't that how it's always portrayed on TV?!

But you two haven't exchanged a single word. You were just looking like you were about to kill someone, how come you've suddenly become so calm?

No, I just said that even sisters can't be completely without grudges, and you've already made up for yourself?!

What is this, some kind of self-strategy?

So why were you so angry just now? Was it to give yourself an explanation?!

In an instant, Zhao Yun's heart was like fireworks exploding, and her face became complicated, like a dye shop being dyed.

Her demeanor was so obvious that even Lin Jianxia, ​​who was standing next to her, noticed something was wrong and, for the first time ever, turned around and gave her a questioning look.

Zhao Yun hesitated, seemingly wanting to speak but ultimately giving her a smile;

"......fine."

Chapter 198 You really want me to be with Wanwan—Waaaaah!

Jiang Yubai was a little confused.

For a whole week, Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan took turns sitting next to him, just as they had agreed beforehand.

Lin Jianxia was first and third, Lin Tingwan was second and fourth, and the winner on Friday was decided by rock-paper-scissors—in the end, Jianxia was a little luckier.

In the second semester of senior year, students mainly study on their own, and teachers won't call roll for no reason.

After a while, no one noticed anything amiss.

However, something else puzzled him.

After seven days of observation, Lin Jianxia had completely returned to her usual whining, playful, and boisterous self.

As for that inexplicable feeling of depression, it was as if it had never happened.

Forget being down, this guy is practically overly energetic.

Not only does it fuss and puff out its breath all day, but it also hogs its own pillow every noon, leaving only a small space for itself to sleep.

But she refused when I offered to buy her another one, saying that a stolen pillow is more comfortable to sleep on...

Divine gold.

Oh right, I've gone off-topic.

Anyway, no matter what caused Lin Jianxia to be depressed before, she seems to be perfectly normal now.

This made Jiang Yubai start to doubt himself—

Could it be... that my hug really works?

He looked at himself in the mirror again and again, his face full of confusion.

No, do I have some kind of mental illness that can be cured with a hug?

To achieve immortality, you at least need to eat a piece of Tang Sanzang's flesh; even talk therapy requires sitting down and having a chat. My hug solved everything...

What exactly is the underlying principle?

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jiang Yubai raised his hand and hesitantly hugged himself.

"........"

I felt nothing at all.

He looks...like a complete idiot.

"Jiang Yubai, where is he?"

A questioning voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Yubai snapped out of his daze, quickly lowered his hand, and replied:

"I'm coming!"

He quickly washed his face, pushed open the bathroom door, and strode into the study.

Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan were already sitting on either side of the desk, seemingly waiting for him to arrive. They had even laid out the test papers for him.

Lin Jianxia wrinkled her nose:

"Hey, where did you go? You're so slow!"

"What's wrong? Don't you know people need to use the restroom?" Jiang Yubai said without changing his expression. "Do I have to rush you like this?"

Just kidding, would he say that he stared at himself in the mirror for ages, and then stupidly hugged himself in the end?

It would be strange if Lin Jianxia didn't laugh at him for the rest of his life.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, not thinking much of it, and simply pushed the test paper in front of him:

"Here are today's two test papers... Do you want to do the test papers first or do the vocabulary check first?"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment:

"Words."

.....

When the daily review session ended, Jiang Yubai felt completely drained.

Because it was the weekend, Lin Jianxia had already spent the entire afternoon reviewing with him, and they still had to do two more practice tests that evening, plus explain the questions they got wrong on last week's exam...
