Sister, can I be a maid too?

The cover is simple, featuring an aerial view of Lincheng No. 3 Middle School with a prominent line of text printed on it:

Lincheng No. 3 Middle School College Entrance Examination Application Guide

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shifu's signature stern voice rang out from the podium:

"You can flip through this book in your spare time. It contains experience sharing from previous students, admission scores of various universities in previous years, and application advice. It has almost everything you need."

As soon as he finished speaking, whispers broke out in the classroom.

This time, surprisingly, Zhang Shitai did not maintain discipline. She simply gave a few more instructions and then hurriedly left the classroom, probably to attend a meeting.

That's how it is in the second half of senior year; students are busy, and teachers are busy too.

Students are busy doing practice questions and taking tests, while teachers are much busier, especially homeroom teachers who are in charge of senior high school students.

Supervising morning and evening self-study sessions, grading mountains of test papers, attending endless grade-level meetings and class/subject coordination meetings, constantly monitoring students' emotional state, and repeatedly communicating with some parents about their children's college application intentions...

In short, I'm very busy.

However, Jiang Yubai was unaware of all this. He merely glanced at his old teacher before looking away and opening the white paper that the school had uniformly distributed.

He was somewhat surprised after only glancing at it twice.

The entire table of contents is several pages long and is roughly divided into four parts:

The first part is the historical score lines and admission data; the second part is the experience shared by senior students; the third part is the application strategy and timeline; and the fourth part is the statistics on the college admission destinations of students from Lincheng No. 3 Middle School in the past five years.

This includes information on the minimum and average admission scores of universities both within and outside the province over the past three years, mindset adjustment and review focus from mock exams to the actual college entrance exam, and specific steps and tips for filling out college applications after scores are released...

It even included aerial panoramic views of each university, subject rankings, strengths and weaknesses, and even the number of cafeterias.

Everything you can imagine and everything you haven't thought of is clearly marked throughout the book, showing that a lot of effort has been put into it.

I have to say, the tuition was definitely worth it.

If this book were sold to another school, wouldn't they charge you 68 yuan for textbooks?

Jiang Yubai looked at each one with great interest, specifically looking for the university's cafeterias. He immediately passed over those with few or poor cafeterias, while he seriously studied and carefully examined those with many and good cafeterias.

Before I'd been looking at it for long, the draft notebook on the corner of the table was suddenly snatched away again.

Jiang Yubai came to his senses and saw that Lin Jianxia looked hesitant. After thinking for a long time, she wrote something and pushed it over.

What are you thinking about that's causing you so much confusion?

Jiang Yubai was curious, so he took the draft and looked at it.

Which school are you planning to apply to?

...I thought they were going to ask something else.

He thought for a moment, then casually wrote:

"I'm not so sure. With my current score, I'm definitely not guaranteed admission to Linyi University, and my parents probably won't let me leave the province."

"Specifically... it's either going to Ningcheng University or working at a temporary power plant? I think the cafeterias at these schools are pretty good, but I should discuss it with my parents first."

After the draft was sent, there was no response for a long time.

Jiang Yu glanced at it twice, but didn't pay any attention. He lowered his head and continued to enthusiastically search for recommendations about "delicious canteens" in the book.

On the other side.

Lin Jianxia stared intently at the few lines of text on the draft paper, unable to resist looking at them again and again.

Only now did she realize a fact that she should have thought of long ago, but seemed to have deliberately ignored.

Based on her current grades, it's very likely that she and Jiang Yubai... won't be able to get into the same university.

They might not even be able to go to the same city together.

Not in the same university...

That means that the two small houses next to each other in Jinxiu New Village will eventually fall apart.

Lin Jianxia suddenly bit her lower lip, her ears were ringing, and her chest felt tight and suffocating.

Chapter 210 Are you... worried that you won't go to the same school as me?

All morning, Lin Jianxia stared at the application guide, looking worried.

Jiang Yu thought for a moment, and then whispered a word of comfort during self-study:

"Don't worry too much. There's no use thinking about it now. Wait until the results of the second and third mock exams come out, then compare them with the cut-off scores from previous years and slowly choose a school. You'll eventually find a suitable one."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia was not relieved at all. Instead, she glanced at him speechlessly and gritted her teeth slightly.

Before Jiang Yubai could react, the girl had already raised her hand and given him a light punch, then turned back to stare at the pages of her book, ignoring him completely.

What's wrong? You won't even let me offer comfort anymore...?

Jiang Yubai touched his arm, looking completely bewildered.

He didn't pay much attention and continued memorizing words on his own.

For a moment, the only sounds in the classroom were the scratching of pens on paper and the occasional rustling of pages turning.

After a long period of test paper explanation and self-study, the bell finally rang, signaling the end of the last class of the morning.

The students, who were already starving, rushed out, and the sound of heavy footsteps echoed from the stairwell.

Jiang Yubai put down his pen, feeling as if the wrinkles in his brain were being smoothed out by the exam paper.

To be honest, with this intensity of studying, plus not sleeping well last night, he's starting to see things a little blurry.

After regaining her composure, she turned her head and saw Lin Jianxia rubbing her eyes, looking quite sleepy.

"I'm starving..."

Jiang Yubai breathed a sigh of relief and greeted them.

"Let's go, let's go eat."

To be honest, at school, besides reading and doing exams, lunch is the only thing I look forward to.

He stood up with Lin Jianxia, ​​and Lin Tingwan was already waiting obediently by the seat. When she saw the two of them coming over, she naturally followed on the other side of Jiang Yubai.

Because of the staggered meal times, the senior students are still in the first batch, and the previous wave of people has already dispersed quite a bit, so there aren't many people in the corridor now.

"I'm exhausted," Jiang Yubai sighed. "I might as well just take the college entrance exam tomorrow."

Lin Jianxia glanced at him twice and lightly spat:

"What, you're already confident you can get into Linda University, right?"

Once outside the classroom, she wasn't afraid of being recognized when she spoke.

Although they are now playing the younger sister, the two of them are on either side of Jiang Yubai, so no one would bother to find out who is who among the twins.

Why is it necessary to go to Linyi University?

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then said uncertainly,

"Shangning University or Lingdian University, or Lingong University are pretty stable options, and I've heard the cafeterias are quite good."

—Go live with your cafeteria, go with your cafeteria!

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia felt a surge of anger for no reason and threw a cat-like punch at his arm.

"What now?"

"...didn't do anything."

Lin Jianxia turned around angrily and walked quickly forward.

Jiang Yubai watched her stormy back, then looked at Lin Tingwan beside him, completely bewildered.

"What happened to your sister again?"

Lin Tingwan shook her little head.

Wanwan doesn't know.

.......

Ten minutes later.

Looking at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was sitting down next to him with a tray in her hand and puffed out her cheeks, Jiang Yubai felt a little guilty for some reason.

No, what did I do to offend this little hedgehog?

He thought for a moment, then tentatively began to speak:

"Jianxia, ​​aren't you... going to sit across from me?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lin Jianxia shot her a sharp glare:

"What's wrong? Is it uncomfortable for you to sit next to me?"

Jiang Yubai silently swallowed back his question, "Don't you think it's a little strange for three people to sit on the same side?" and obediently replied:

"......No."

Lin Jianxia gave a soft hum and didn't say anything more. She just picked up her chopsticks and poked at the rice in her plate.

Jiang Yubai picked up a large shrimp from Lin Ting's dinner plate on the left, then glanced at Lin Jianxia on the right, who was taking small bites of her food.

To be precise, he was eyeing the few glistening pieces of braised pork on her plate.

—Is this guy in a bad mood...? Can I still have some braised pork...?

He was struggling with his decision when he saw Lin Jianxia glance at him and then look at her own plate.

The girl pouted, picked up a piece of braised pork with her chopsticks, and put it in his bowl, her tone full of disdain.

"Look at you, so unambitious, you're practically drooling."

Jiang Yubai was utterly stunned.

He looked down at the extra piece of meat in his bowl and was momentarily flattered.

this......?

Is she angry or not?

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then gently nudged Lin Tingwan beside him with his arm, subtly winked at her, and then tilted his head towards Lin Jianxia.
