Sister, can I be a maid too?

"You still took it!" Lin Jianxia's eyes widened.

Jiang Yubai ignored her, took a small piece from the tasting area next to him, and fed it directly into the girl's mouth.

Lin Jianxia subconsciously opened her mouth to take it, blinked her eyes, chewed like a hamster, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.

Jiang Yubai then fed Lin Tingwan another piece, saying smugly:

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips shyly, her gaze secretly drifting towards the durian mille-feuille in the shopping cart, her voice lowering:

"Um... is one box enough...?"

Jiang Yubai was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this:

"The shelf life is short, and there are many different kinds."

Hearing this, Lin Jianxia turned her gaze to the entire dessert area, her eyes sparkling.

She tugged at Jiang Yubai's sleeve and asked softly:

"Um... can we sample the ones over there?"

“Yes,” Jiang Yubai nodded, “Take whatever you like.”

So the little glutton cheered and excitedly ran out to try the food.

Jiang Yubai watched the guy's carefree back and found it amusing. He turned to Lin Tingwan and said:

"Let's go together last night. It's a rare opportunity to get out, so feel free to take whatever you want to eat."

Lin Tingwan blinked, but didn't follow her older sister.

The girl looked around, carefully took a small piece from the mango mille-feuille tasting area, and handed it to Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai stared blankly at the dessert being offered to her mouth for a moment, then lowered her head and took a bite.

The sweet cream mixed with delicate mango melts in your mouth, sweet but not cloying.

Before he could even swallow, he saw Lin Tingwan looking up at him with her little face upturned, her eyes fixed on him, looking obedient and waiting for his response.

She looked so adorable that, taking advantage of the fact that the little hedgehog wasn't around, Jiang Yubai couldn't resist reaching out and rubbing her little face.

After he finished kneading, he suddenly blinked and looked at Lin Jianxia, ​​who was still in the distance picking out snacks.

Wait, this guy isn't here right now, is he?

Ten minutes later.

Lin Jianxia spent a long time choosing, and in the end, she only came back with a small box of strawberry mousse.

She paused for a moment, looked around, and saw only her younger sister quietly guarding the shopping cart.

"Where's Jiang Yubai?" Lin Jianxia asked curiously.

It's not that I'm worried about Wanwan being alone. After all, there aren't many people here, and she's right next to me, so there's no way anything will go wrong.

The main question is, why did that guy run away?

Lin Tingwan had just raised her notebook when a familiar voice came from beside her:

"They're here, they're here..."

His voice was still slightly breathless.

Turning around, I saw Jiang Yubai running back, panting heavily. He put his hands on his knees and took several deep breaths before he slowly calmed down.

Seeing his expression, Lin Jianxia blinked and hesitated before saying:

"Where...did you just go?"

"Going to the restroom."

"...Is it really necessary to go to the bathroom like this?"

“The restrooms in this supermarket are a bit far away,” Jiang Yu explained without changing his expression. “Besides, I was just worried you wouldn’t be able to find me.”

Before Lin Jianxia could ask any more questions, he took the shopping cart, glanced at the contents, and raised an eyebrow in surprise:

"You're only buying this one box?"

"That's enough, that's enough..."

Lin Jianxia shrank closer to him, her voice unconsciously becoming softer.

Jiang Yu rolled her eyes at this guy and casually said:

"Never mind, I'll just get some more later."

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly stopped as if I had seen something.

He rummaged through his shopping cart and pulled out two boxes that looked familiar, his tone a little annoyed:

"...Who put these two boxes of Pocky here?"

Lin Jianxia was stunned for a moment, then slowly widened her eyes and looked at Lin Tingwan, who was standing obediently to the side.

Seeing her reaction, Jiang Yubai understood and looked over as well.

Facing their gazes, Lin Tingwan blinked, reached out and pulled out a notebook, wrote something down, and held it up in front of her.

"Can't I buy it?"

"...It's not that you can't buy it."

Jiang Yubai looked at the two boxes of Pocky, his expression rather subtle.

The main thing is... I just shared a Pocky stick with Xia in the game, and now you're putting two boxes in the car right now... What does that mean...?

He thought for a moment, then tried to speak tactfully:

"Speaking of which, Wanwan... why did you buy this?"

"Because it tastes good."

For some reason, Jiang Yubai felt that he could sense a sense of self-righteousness in those four short words.

Although the reason is indeed very valid.

However, when he fed her before, he did buy a few boxes for Lin Tingwan, and if she liked them, he would buy two more boxes...

It doesn't seem to work either.

...There's really nothing strange or weird about it, right?

He glanced at her suspiciously, but seeing that Lin Tingwan was as cute as ever, he didn't pay much attention.

"Okay, let's continue shopping then."

After taking plenty of desserts and snacks and preparing a week's worth of ingredients, the three of them finally pushed the fully loaded shopping cart out of the supermarket.

Lin Jianxia was still wondering why this guy didn't call a car when she saw him walk straight to a car waiting on the side and open the back door.

"Come in, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, oh..." Lin Jianxia subconsciously sat halfway in, then suddenly realized something, "Wait, we still need to move the things to the trunk."

But Jiang Yubai gently pushed her into the back seat without saying a word:

"No problem, no problem, I'll take care of it, it'll be quick... Could you please open the trunk, sir?"

Lin Jianxia sat in the back seat in a daze, only to see Jiang Yubai bring in another Wanwan. He then quickly closed the door and stuffed several large bags into the trunk.

Lin Jianxia only narrowed her eyes after Jiang Yubai and Lin Tingwan sat back in the back row:

"Hey... Jiang Yubai, why won't you let Wanwan and me help?"

"You two are the heroes who helped us win the dolls today..." Jiang Yubai casually reassured him, "Master, sorry to keep you waiting, Jinxiu New Village."

The driver glanced at the rearview mirror, suddenly smiled, grunted, and expertly pressed the accelerator.

The journey took only about ten minutes, with the car turning left and right before quickly stopping at the entrance of Jinxiu New Village.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Yubai told the two sisters to wait by the roadside while she efficiently began unloading the things.

Lin Jianxia took the four large plastic bags and laid them out on the ground. She noticed that Jiang Yubai hadn't closed the trunk; instead, he was still rummaging through it, looking for something.

"What are you looking for?" she asked, somewhat puzzled. "Is everything all here?"

Jiang Yubai didn't reply, but instead leaned further inside and laboriously pulled one out—

A teddy bear that's almost as tall as a person.

The doll was still covered in a supermarket plastic bag, so it was obviously just bought.

Jiang Yubai handed the doll to Lin Jianxia, ​​then turned and waved to the driver.

"Thank you for your hard work, Master."

The driver leaned out of the car window and joked with a smile:

"He's so good to his girlfriend."

Jiang Yubai nodded seriously:

"Of course."

The car sped away, while Lin Jianxia, ​​holding the large teddy bear that had suddenly been shoved into her arms, was completely stunned.

She didn't even have time to notice what Jiang Yubai and the driver were saying; her eyes were blankly fixed on the doll that had suddenly appeared in her arms.

This bear is exactly the same as the one she won, only several sizes bigger.

She recognized it at a glance; it was the big bear that was displayed prominently in the center of the toy store earlier…

Lin Jianxia snapped out of her daze, hugged the soft, fluffy teddy bear, and asked softly:

"When...did you buy it?"

"While you were tasting desserts all over the world," Jiang Yubai said cheerfully.

"Didn't you say you went to the bathroom?"

"Just kidding."

"you--!"

Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the departing taxi. Her voice quickly turned into a soft, embarrassed groan:
