Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Alright, that's about it... Any suggestions?"

Jiang Yubai sighed with regret, thought for a moment, and then spoke earnestly:

"I think it's great, but... could your expression be a little more disdainful? Like the look of someone looking at trash would be best."

Lin Jianxia: "?"

She stood there, somewhat dazed, and belatedly realized that things were not developing as she had expected.

What does "Can you be a little more critical of my expression?" mean?

What does "looking at trash with eyes" mean?

Before Lin Jianxia could think further, she suddenly heard a familiar soft "click" sound.

She paused, then instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

In a flash, the girl suddenly realized something and her eyes widened.

"Squeak-"

The study door was gently pushed open, and a figure in pajamas appeared in the doorway.

The girl leaned half her body in, her beautiful eyes still holding a hint of curiosity.

Her gaze swept across the room, quickly settling on the bed—

To be precise, it was Lin Jianxia's small foot, wrapped in white silk, that was stepping on Jiang Yubai's white back.

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

Chapter 208 Why did my sister put her feet on Jiang Yubai's back?

As the figure in pajamas appeared at the door, the room fell silent for a moment.

Lin Tingwan glanced at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was dressed as a maid, then at Jiang Yubai, who was lying on the bed. She blinked and walked to the bedside.

The girl took out a small notebook, quickly wrote something down, and held it up in front of her:

"What are my sister and Jiang Yubai doing?"

Jiang Yubai was thinking that Lin Jianxia had a lot of self-control. Even though his sister was right in front of him, her little feet were still firmly planted on his back without moving.

After waiting for two seconds without hearing any sound, he turned his head to look, somewhat puzzled.

But Lin Jianxia was standing blankly on the bed, her eyes vacant, her cheeks flushed, and she looked as if she had lost her mind.

"Lin Jianxia?"

He swayed slightly.

This movement seemed to finally wake Lin Jianxia; the girl suddenly came to her senses, her mouth opening slightly—

Suddenly, she lunged at the scattered blankets beside her and quickly wrapped herself up like a tightly sealed summer ball.

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

No, so you didn't just have strong willpower, you actually crashed, right?!

Lin Tingwan glanced at her older sister, who was wrapped up like a ball, and then her gaze fell on Jiang Yubai.

Helpless, Jiang Yubai sighed and was about to get up when he suddenly paused and silently lay back down.

He coughed lightly and said:

"Uh... you two were playing a game of spot the difference and I caught you. Your sister is a true friend, she lost the bet and is giving me a massage."

Upon hearing this, Jian Xiaqiu, who was standing to the side, suddenly trembled.

It seems she also knows that it's a bit embarrassing to call stepping on someone's back a massage...

However, Lin Tingwan didn't seem to notice anything amiss. She tilted her head and held up her notebook again.

"massage?"

“Yes, that’s the punishment I gave you for switching identities,” Jiang Yubai paused, then asked curiously, “Didn’t Wanwan do that before too?”

This girl was pressing the buttons enthusiastically from left to right before, but now she's acting like she doesn't know anything about it?

Seemingly sensing his confusion, Lin Tingwan lowered her head and wrote something, then showed him the spiral notebook:

"My sister said it's not necessary."

"No?"

Jiang Yubai blinked, suddenly realizing that something was wrong.

"Wanwan, what did your sister tell you?"

"My sister said she and Jiang Yubai have agreed that we don't need a massage this time."

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

Upon seeing this line of text, he glanced at the curled-up Mikazuki beside him with a somewhat subtle expression.

He originally thought that Lin Jianxia had made things clear to her younger sister, saying that her older sister could go alone this time and that she could just sleep peacefully.

After all that trouble.....

You're the one who coaxes people to go to sleep first, then sneaks out in a maid outfit, aren't you?

A second chance at marriage, right?

He even told them they didn't need a massage...

To be honest, I was a little touched.

Isn't this just a common plot in those storybooks?

Faced with the terrifying demon king, the older sister comforted her younger sister, saying, "It's okay."

After watching his younger sister fall asleep peacefully, a resolute expression appeared on his face. He went alone to negotiate with the Great Demon King, begging him to spare his sister.

As a result, the younger sister woke up in the middle of the night and found that her older sister was missing. Filled with doubt and confusion, she searched all the way here and found her older sister being bullied by the big devil.

Finally, naturally, the two sisters did it together—

Cough cough cough cough.

Off topic.

Jiang Yubai composed himself before slowly sitting up.

He looked at Lin Tingwan and said in a serious tone:

"It's nothing. Your sister sacrificed herself to protect you, her younger sister."

Lin Tingwan glanced at her sister, then sat down on the edge of the bed and continued to take out her little notebook:

"Why is my sister wearing this dress?"

“Because there were two conditions agreed upon beforehand,” Jiang Yubai didn’t hide anything, “one was that you and Lin Jianxia would get a massage together, and the other was that she would come to get a massage dressed as a maid.”

He paused, his voice softening slightly:

“I was just teasing your sister, I never thought she would agree to that.”

"This time... well, I guess it's because I don't want you to be too tired, Wanwan."

"Why did you put your feet on Jiang Yubai's back?"

Upon hearing this question, Jiang Yubai fell silent.

How the hell is he supposed to reply?

Saying, "This is a new massage technique your sister developed for hands and feet"?

No, only an idiot like Lin Jianxia would think that could fool anyone.

Furthermore, given how much Wanwan trusts me, wouldn't explaining things to her with these words just lead her astray?

People are naturally confused. If they actually believe this, what if they don't offer their hands for a massage but instead offer their feet?

No no no.

But if I really need to explain...

Jiang Yubai glanced at Jian Xiaqiu beside him, thought for a moment, pointed to the spiral notebook in Lin Tingwan's hand, and made a writing and drawing gesture.

Well, anyway, Jianjian Xia is all wrapped up like a ball, so it looks like she won't be coming out anytime soon...

That makes things much easier.

Lin Tingwan quickly understood his meaning and obediently handed over the spiral notebook and ballpoint pen.

Jiang Yubai reached out and took it, then quickly began writing.

"I teased your sister a little bit just now, and she wanted to save face, so I just went along with it."

"Wanwan, can you just pretend you don't know anything about this? Otherwise, your sister will turn into a steampunk goddess soon."

"Steam Princess?"

"Hmm...it's like her little face is all red."

Seeing Lin Tingwan nod in agreement, Jiang Yubai handed back the notebook with satisfaction and turned his gaze back to Jian Xiaqiu by the bedside.

He tentatively poked it with his finger:

"See Xia?"

Perhaps because she had calmed down for a while, Lin Jianxia didn't continue pretending to be dead this time; instead, a muffled sound came out:

".......what?"

What else is there to do...?

Jiang Yubai found it somewhat amusing and deliberately said:

"You want to sleep in the study... at least change your clothes first. Plus, with that sleeping position, it'll be very uncomfortable tonight, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia's little head popped out from the top of the blanket in a flash, glaring at him and saying:

"Who wants to sleep in your study!"

Before Jiang Yubai could even speak, Lin Jianxia's gaze had already drifted to the side.
