Sister, can I be a maid too?

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip, feeling increasingly choked up.

"What's wrong...? You already said we wouldn't go to school together, so why are you bothering me?"

She felt increasingly aggrieved.

Just as Lin Jianxia was about to kick Jiang Yubai, who was rambling on and on, a piece of A4 paper was suddenly handed to her.

what?

Lin Jianxia was slightly taken aback.

Before they could react, Jiang Yubai's leisurely voice came over.

"Here, these are the admission scores for Linyi University over the past three years. Civil Engineering and Environmental Engineering have the lowest scores, but you might not be interested in those, so I added Computer Science and Economics Management next to them."

"Next to me are my and your sister's mock exam scores. I did a rough calculation, and if I can improve my Chinese and English scores by 10 points, and easily improve my Chemistry and Biology scores by 5 points, I'll basically be set."

"As for you and Wanwan, it's the same. If you improve your math and physics by 50 to 10 points each, and your chemistry and biology by 10 points together, you can also get in."

"After that... we can go to Linyi University together, and even the same major! Pretty simple, right?"

He spoke so casually, as if casually adding 20 points to one's score at the very end of the second semester of senior year was an easy thing to do.

Lin Jianxia stared blankly at the A4 paper, which was densely covered with various score lines, grade comparisons and calculation drafts, almost filling the entire paper.

She looked up somewhat blankly, and what came into view was Jiang Yubai's smiling face.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't say that just because we go to the same school. It's simply because the cafeteria at Linyi University is the biggest in Asia~"

Jiang Yubai mimicked someone's usual tone and spoke in a serious manner.

Lin Jianxia's ears turned bright red, and she stared wide-eyed at him:

"Jiang Yubai!!!"

"Hmm, what?"

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The girl hesitated for a long time, then finally bit her lower lip and whispered:

"Hey...didn't you say yesterday that if we're not together, we're not together, and we should keep in touch more often...?"

For some reason, her voice was soft and sweet, without the angry tone she had just given off.

Jiang Yubai rolled her eyes at her.

"Lin Jianxia, ​​do you think I'm stupid or blind?"

"Your desire to go to college with you was practically radiating from your face yesterday."

Lin Jianxia is truly transforming into a steampunk princess this time, stammering in rebuttal:

"No, no! I, I—"

"If you dare say, 'I don't want to go to college with you, but since you've already made plans, then I'll reluctantly go along with it'..."

Jiang Yubai paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Then I'll start right now."

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

Faced with this almost shameless threat, the girl shamefully remained silent.

She mumbled and murmured for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence:

"Who would say something like that...?"

Looking at this guy's awkward and hesitant manner, Jiang Yubai felt like he had discovered a new continent, and said with a cheerful smile:

"Fine, if you won't tell me, I will."

He coughed lightly, then adopted a serious tone:

"Let me clarify beforehand, I did this entirely for the sake of my adorable Wanwan, it has nothing to do with you~"

"Right, Wanwan~"

Lin Tingwan blinked and nodded obediently.

"Jiang! Yu! Bai—!" Lin Jianxia was furious. "And Wanwan! Don't just agree to everything!"

It's said that a young girl's blush speaks louder than words. Jiang Yubai admired her for a few seconds with satisfaction before pushing the A4 paper on the table aside:

"so?"

Lin Jianxia glared at him angrily for a while, pursed her lips, and was about to speak when she suddenly seemed to have discovered something and carefully looked him over a few times.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jiang Yubai asked, completely bewildered.

Lin Jianxia blinked, then suddenly revealed a sly smile:

"Jiang Yubai, your dark circles are really bad."

"...So what?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia's smile widened even further:

"Could it be that after saying those things yesterday, you're the one who can't bear to part with me and Wanwan...?"

"...and then you stayed up all night to make this table, right?"

Jiang Yubai's expression suddenly froze.

Chapter 212 Taking a look won't hurt you, what's wrong with just taking a look?

Seeing his expression, Lin Jianxia's eyes lit up slightly:

Really?

"Jiang Yubai, you keep saying it doesn't matter if we're not in the same school, but when you get home and think about it, you actually miss me and Wanwan, right?"

"The mouth~dislike~the body~is upright~"

No, where did this guy learn those words?

Jiang Yubai couldn't hold back any longer; even with his thick skin, his face flushed slightly, and he couldn't help but retort:

"Lin Jianxia, ​​do you have any conscience?"

"I'm definitely fine myself. Who told you to act like the sky was about to fall yesterday?"

"Besides, Wanwan is so cute, and she's not fully recovered, so that's why I came up with this idea, okay?"

He paused, then changed to a look of disgust:

"If I hadn't spoken up, look how resentful you've become today! Not only are you ungrateful, but you also have the nerve to criticize me?"

Lin Jianxia's eyes widened:

"Melancholy? Who's feeling melancholy?!"

"Isn't that right? He didn't give me a kind look all morning, and he didn't say a word during lunch either, acting like he was going to never talk to me again unless I coaxed him..."

"What else could this be but resentment, don't you think, Wanwan?"

Looking at her older sister's expression, Lin Tingwan seemed a little hesitant to nod.

Lin Jianxia, ​​feeling both embarrassed and annoyed by his words, reached out to pinch his arm.

"Jiang Yubai!! What are you saying?!"

"Still denying it? Well, here you are, attacking!" Jiang Yubai continued to add fuel to the fire while dodging, "You're getting angry now, aren't you?"

"Jiang Yubai—!!"

The two of them kept arguing and picking at each other, getting more and more agitated, and finally even started punching each other like cats.

Lin Tingwan sat to the side, eating her meal in small bites, occasionally glancing up at her sister and then at Jiang Yubai.

Seeing that the two of them still had no intention of resting, the girl thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up a shrimp cake from Lin Jianxia's plate for Jiang Yubai.

Lin Jianxia paused, her cat-like punching motion faltering. Her face fell, and she drawled in a wronged tone:

"Good evening~ Good evening~"

What?!

How come while I'm bravely fighting on the front lines, my back home has that traitorous Wanwan stealing my food supplies...?

They even used it to aid the enemy!

Hearing her older sister's voice, which sounded almost like she was being coquettish, Lin Tingwan blinked and reached out to pick up a chicken leg from her plate and give it to her.

Lin Jianxia immediately beamed and happily accepted it.

—It's so nice to be up late~~

Distracted by Lin Tingwan, Jiang Yubai could no longer continue his cat-like punches.

He clapped his hands, but didn't touch the lunch on his plate. Instead, he pushed the A4 sheet of paper towards Lin Jianxia again.

"So, how should I put it? This is the best way for the three of us—you, me, and Wanwan—to go to the same university."

"Of course, you can bring up any good ideas you have. It's okay if you don't accept them; if it doesn't work out, we'll just have to rely on luck."

Lin Jianxia glanced at the A4 paper, her lips seeming to curl into a slight smile, but she immediately suppressed it, muttering:

"What do you mean by 'how to say it'... Well, then let's leave it at that..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yubai gave her a speechless look:

"Do you think this is child's play?"

He organized his thoughts, and his tone became serious:

"Let me make this clear beforehand, don't let my simple explanation fool you, making it sound like improving by five or ten points in each subject is all it takes to get in..."

"Although you and Wanwan have made great progress in math and physics, it is ultimately because your foundation is weak that the rate of progress seems alarming."

"But now that you've come this far, if you want to improve your score, you have to master all those optional questions I mentioned before. You have to be mentally prepared."

"In addition, it's been almost half a month since school started, and there are only a little over a hundred days left until the college entrance examination. The intensity after that... could be extremely high."

Knowing that he was telling the truth, Lin Jianxia obediently responded.
