Sister, can I be a maid too?

No, sister, you can switch from frozen state to breathy state... all you need is a pinch?

You're not really Hakimi reincarnated, are you? Do you have some kind of weird code inside you?

After glancing at it twice, Lin Jianxia blinked and hesitated before saying:

"Wait... where's the Pocky I'm eating?"

Jiang Yubai's expression stiffened slightly, but he spoke naturally:

"We're done eating! Didn't you hear the host say we've passed the level?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia immediately forgot all her little questions, such as "Why do I have no taste in my mouth after eating?"

She turned her head and looked at the host on the stage with a hopeful expression.

"That's right! Congratulations on passing the level!" The female host clapped her hands and said with a smile, "We also hope everyone here will give our young couple a round of applause!"

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

However, Lin Jianxia's willingness to go on stage was clearly not for the applause. After the applause subsided, she looked over expectantly:

"So... can I get the plush toy now?"

"Of course, of course~ It seems our plush toys are very popular with pretty girls~"

The host waved to the audience and said with a smile.

"You're also welcome to shop in-store! We currently have a 10% discount on two items, so don't miss out!"

After the advertisement, the female host finally led the two to choose the reward for completing the challenge.

When Lin Jianxia finally got her hands on the teddy bear she had been longing for, she was so happy that her eyes crinkled with joy, and she forgot all about Pocky and hugs.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard the host greet me warmly:

"Don't rush off yet, couples! Every couple who successfully completes the challenge can take a photo to mark the date."

"This time next year, the two of you can come to our store together to pick up another plush toy~"

This time next year? And you even specifically emphasized two people?

Jiang Yubai raised an eyebrow.

This means... well, it basically means, "If the couple is still together this time next year, they can come and claim it," right?

As she spoke, the female host had already brought up the photo-taking interface for the couples who had successfully completed the challenge on the projection screen next to her.

The young couples in the picture are holding up dolls and laughing happily, but I wonder... how many of them will actually end up together.

Jiang Yu glanced at it, but didn't seem interested in that aspect.

He was about to politely decline, but Lin Jianxia beside him had already nodded in agreement, so he had no choice but to swallow his words.

Jiang Yubai glanced at Lin Tingwan, who was standing quietly to the side, and casually asked:

"Um...can we add one more person to take the picture together?"

The female host paused for two seconds before forcing a laugh:

"No, no problem..."

No, although she is my girlfriend's twin sister... this is a couple's anniversary photo, is it really okay to call her sister-in-law?

Aren't you afraid of getting a lecture from your partner when you get home?

Jiang Yubai, of course, didn't mean anything by it.

After all, subconsciously, he and Lin Jianxia weren't really a couple, so what was the big deal about bringing a younger sister along for the photo?

Hearing the greeting, Lin Tingwan blinked and naturally stood beside Jiang Yubai.

The female host muttered to herself, then subconsciously glanced at Lin Jianxia, ​​only to see that the girl not only showed no displeasure, but was even helping her younger sister adjust her posture.

I admire you.

She sighed inwardly, composed herself, picked up the camera, and waved:

"Come on, guys, just hold the plush toy, and girlfriends, get closer!"

Lin Jianxia glanced at Jiang Yubai, pursed her lips, but still moved a little closer as instructed.

After she stood still, she realized that she was standing closer, which made Lin Tingwan on the other side seem a little far away.

The twins' obsessive-compulsive tendencies suddenly flared up, and the girl couldn't help but speak:

"Wanwan, you're standing too far apart. Let's be a little... more affectionate."

Lin Tingwan nodded as if she understood, then obediently leaned closer to Jiang Yubai and naturally reached out to take his arm.

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

I didn't ask you to be so affectionate!!

The female host on the other side was so embarrassed that she was speechless.

Wait, how come this sister-in-law is holding onto her arm more naturally than the girlfriend? Can we even take a picture of this?!

She hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back, and finally offered a tactful reminder:

"Um... this looks a little asymmetrical..."

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip, seemingly struggling internally for a while, before slowly reaching out and gently taking Jiang Yubai's other arm.

The female host: "........."

What I mean is, let your sister let go...

Forget it.

She sighed silently to herself, but had to maintain a smile on her face.

"Very good, those three stay still, watch the camera!"

Lin Jianxia's ears turned bright red, and her heart was pounding like a drum.

Even though her hands were stiff, she still forced a nonchalant expression.

After all, they are twins... It's always better to feel balanced than to have twins.

It's all Wanwan's fault!

Thinking this way, the girl immediately felt at ease.

.......

As the three figures slowly disappeared into the distance, the female host turned her gaze to the audience and suddenly paused for a moment.

I hadn't noticed it before, but now, looking around, the audience, which was already fairly large, is now surrounded by layers upon layers of people, clearly drawn by those three from before.

That's understandable, since they look like a newlywed couple.

There was neither the blandness of an old married couple nor the awkwardness and unease of strangers.

Plus, the twin sisters are both so beautiful, they're a feast for the eyes on stage, it's impossible not to ship them!

—Sigh, I should have bought another toy to let them play a little longer...

She felt a pang of regret, but quickly put on a professional smile again.

"Alright~ Congratulations to that young couple who took our plush toy~ Anyone else in the audience want to take the challenge?"

Perhaps it was the increased popularity, or perhaps it was because the couple seemed to be having a lot of fun, but several hands were raised in the audience.

"I'll do it!"

"I me me!"

The three people who left with the dolls were, of course, unaware of all this.

Lin Jianxia held the teddy bear she had finally won in her arms, touching and squeezing it all the way, radiating a joyful atmosphere.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain:

"Hey, do you like it that much?"

"Of course!" Lin Jianxia rolled her eyes at him. "I went through so much trouble to win this!"

"...Where did you put all that effort into?" Jiang Yubai squinted, calculating the aftermath. "Who was it that was biting into Pocky with their eyes closed, burying their head in the sand like an ostrich?"

"I......"

Lin Jianxia was about to retort when she suddenly paused.

The overwhelming sense of satisfaction from receiving the doll made her instantly forget certain... embarrassing and heart-pounding details.

Although my mind went completely blank at the end, I still managed to win that little game.

This means that... just now, the two of them were only one centimeter apart in terms of their lips.

Lin Jianxia's ears turned bright red instantly. She turned her head away, her voice becoming somewhat stammering:

"I... I did put in some effort, didn't I? I answered the first three questions correctly, didn't I?"

“There are still three questions left,” Jiang Yubai said, pursing his lips. “The first question was barely considered as a meeting of minds, and the second question was a complete freebie.”

"As for the last question... wasn't it because Wanwan helped you write it that you got it right?"

As he said this, he casually patted Lin Tingwan's head as a sign of praise.

The girl blinked, then obediently placed her head in his palm and rubbed against him like a cat.

So cute, so cute.

To be honest, if we weren't still outside, Jiang Yubai really wanted to hug this guy tightly.

Meanwhile, Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, was still grumbling indignantly:

"So what! After all, that problem...that problem..."

As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her voice grew softer and softer, and finally she slowly frowned:

"...Hey, Jiang Yubai."

"what?"

"Could you tell me... what does 'exhale' mean?"

The girl's voice suddenly turned eerie, and she glanced at him threateningly.
