Sister, can I be a maid too?

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

Oh dear, I forgot about that.

I should have known better than to bring it up.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then spoke in a serious tone:

"Hissing... refers to a defensive behavior of felines when they feel threatened or uneasy."

"They will open their mouths, reveal their teeth, and make rapid 'ha' sounds from their throats, while arching their bodies and raising their fur, in order to intimidate the other party and keep their distance."

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

She narrowed her eyes, her tone becoming increasingly dangerous:

Did I ask you to explain it that way?

"Didn't you ask me that?" Jiang Yubai pretended to be clueless.

Lin Jianxia took a deep breath. Although she felt somewhat powerless as the conversation went off track, a sense of embarrassment and annoyance still overwhelmed the urge to complain.

"There's more!"

"What do you mean you think I'm most attractive when I breathe on you?!"

"Jiang Yubai, are you a pervert?!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai suspiciously fell silent.

To be honest, I always feel an irresistible urge to hold Lin Tingwan in my arms and cherish her.

Especially when those bright, sparkling eyes look at you, it really makes you want to protect them.

And what about Lin Jianxia...?

I don't know why, but I always have the urge to tease her and make her angry.

Watching this guy puff up his cheeks in anger and embarrassment is quite a treat.

...Seriously, isn't this a rather awful mentality? It's like a primary school student pulling someone's braid.

Jiang Yubai tried to explain, but couldn't find a way to do so, and finally could only cough lightly:

"Well...doesn't this make you seem more lively and energetic...?"

Lin Jianxia was almost laughing in anger at him, and subconsciously wanted to curse this bad guy a couple more times.

But the words were on the tip of her tongue when she suddenly swallowed them back. Her little face was puffed up with anger as she hugged her doll and took a few quick steps forward, completely ignoring him.

Jiang Yubai and Lin Tingwan exchanged a glance, then quickly followed with their entourage, asking with some curiosity:

"Xia, whom I'll meet? Why did you stop talking about it?"

—That shouldn't be the case. Why did this little hedgehog give up so quickly? Usually, they would bicker for another three hundred rounds, right?

Seeing that this guy still dared to come up and ask questions, Lin Jianxia finally couldn't hold back anymore.

The girl glared at him with a cute but fierce look:

"say what!"

I'm even afraid that if I scold you a couple of times, you'll feel good!

Chapter 221... Who put these two boxes of Pocky here?

The three of them strolled around the mall for a while until they stopped in front of a supermarket.

Lin Jianxia touched the doll in her hand, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes, but she still reached out and handed it to Lin Tingwan beside her:

"Hey, Wanwan."

Lin Tingwan blinked, but didn't take it. She just looked at her older sister with some confusion.

"It's for you," Lin Jianxia shook her head, her tone light and cheerful. "Wanwan likes it a lot, doesn't she?"

Lin Tingwan glanced at the doll but didn't reach out. Instead, she took out a notebook from her pocket, quickly wrote a few lines, and held it up in front of her:

"My sister likes it too."

"I like it as much as I like it, but I had already planned to give Wanwan a gift, so this is perfect."

Lin Jianxia placed the teddy bear into Lin Tingwan's arms and patted it gently.

"Take good care of it!"

Jiang Yubai, who had been watching for a while, finally couldn't help but speak up:

"No, what about yourself? You don't want yourself anymore?"

"Besides, Wanwan already has the one I gave her, so why don't you keep this one for yourself?"

"No~ don't~" Lin Jianxia drawled, "You gave it to me, and I gave it to her. This is my sister, okay?"

As she spoke, she looked at Lin Tingwan again, feigning anger:

"Wanwan, please accept this. Your sister won it especially for you."

Lin Tingwan lowered her head, her fingers gently clutching the plush toy, but she still didn't nod.

Jiang Yubai originally wanted to persuade Lin Jianxia to keep it for herself, but when the words were about to come out, he suddenly paused as if he had thought of something.

He coughed lightly, then his attitude suddenly changed, and he earnestly began to advise:

"Wanwan, please accept this. It's a token of your sister's affection."

Even though Jiang Yubai said so, Lin Tingwan did not obediently listen for the first time. She just raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jianxia, ​​seemingly with a bit of stubbornness.

Lin Jianxia's heart softened at her gaze, and she couldn't help but reach out and pinch her younger sister's cheek, chuckling as she spoke:

"What's the difference between us sisters?"

"What's yours is mine. If I want it later... I can just touch and hug it, right?"

Lin Tingwan seemed to want to write something more, but Jiang Yubai suddenly grabbed her free hand and continued to persuade her:

"It's alright, it's alright. Your sister is right. Wanwan, you should just accept it."

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Lin Tingwan turned her head and blinked at him.

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia secretly praised Jiang Yubai's performance today.

—Not bad, not bad, Jiang Yubai, that big idiot, finally said something sensible!

But then he noticed that this guy was holding his little sister's hand tightly and wouldn't let go. His brow furrowed, and he said with displeasure:

"Hey, Jiang Yubai, if you're going to try to persuade her, why are you holding Wanwan's hand like that?"

Jiang Yubai continued babbling on, but his hands seemed not to hear him at all.

He pulled for a few more seconds, until the dangerous look in Lin Jianxia's eyes grew stronger, before he finally let go.

Lin Jianxia glared at him, intending to continue working on her younger sister's mindset, when she saw Lin Tingwan also holding a doll and nodding at her.

This means that you have accepted it.

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

She glanced suspiciously at the two of them, wondering if something was amiss.

But Wanwan looked completely innocent, blinking her eyes while hugging her teddy bear, while Jiang Yubai remained unfazed, even having the time to ask her curiously:

"What are you looking at?"

Lin Jianxia couldn't figure it out after a long time, and finally could only let out a soft hum:

"We've eaten and bought the dolls, it's time to go home."

"Don't rush," Jiang Yubai said slowly, "Isn't there a supermarket right next door?"

He pointed to the storefront of the shopping mall next door:

"Our family's food reserves were already running low, and since we rarely come here, we might as well buy some here."

Lin Jianxia didn't have any objections, but asked with some concern:

"Can I buy it here... and take it back with me?"

“Take it back, take it back,” Jiang Yubai pushed her shoulder and walked inside. “A ride-hailing car downstairs can take you right to the door. You can buy as much as you want.”

"Hey, it's not like I'm stopping you from buying it, why are you pushing me!"

"Let's go, let's buy breakfast and go home early."

......

......

As a shopping mall next to Tianlin Street, it is much larger than expected, thanks to the popularity of the scenic area.

The three entered the room and found it to be quite spacious.

The two floors are connected, brightly lit, and the shelves are arranged neatly.

The first floor is filled with fresh fruits and vegetables, cooked food and snacks, and the air is filled with the sweet aroma of freshly baked bread.

The second floor is filled with daily necessities, snacks and drinks, and even a small cultural and creative toy area, offering everything imaginable.

Jiang Yubai pushed the shopping cart ahead, while Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan followed beside him, looking around with similar curiosity.

“Xia, let me tell you, you’re in charge at the farmers’ market, but when it comes to the supermarket… I’m the one with experience.”

Jiang Yubai finally regained his previous feeling, and his tone carried a hint of inexplicable smugness.

To be honest, this is definitely his comfort zone.

After all, he used to live in the suburbs, and if his parents were out having fun, he had to buy all their daily necessities.

Lin Jianxia glanced at him, then at the mountain of items in the shopping cart, and finally couldn't help but speak:

"Your experience... is just to put whatever looks delicious or fun into your shopping cart?!"

She had just thought of saying that this idiot had absolutely no sense of thrift, taking things along the way as if he were buying goods.

We haven't even finished exploring the first floor yet, and my shopping cart is already overflowing!

“This is nothing,” Jiang Yubai said, grabbing another box of durian mille-feuille. “I might need a shopping cart later.”
