Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Jiang, Yu, Bai, you lay on my lap the first day, and on Wanwan's lap the second day, without even changing positions... You're having a really comfortable time!"

"Hmm."

Jiang Yubai nodded.

"You still dare to admit it?" Lin Jianxia stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"So, what are you going to do about Xia Jianjian?" Jiang Yubai helplessly spread his hands, "You can do whatever you want to me."

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth and suddenly snorted:

"Hey, sit down."

sit down?

Jiang Yubai tentatively pointed to the stone chair, only to be met with a glare from a little hedgehog.

He had just sat down on the stone bench when he saw Lin Jianxia sit down next to him, and then—

She lay down directly on his lap.

Before Jiang Yubai could react, she felt a soft, light weight on her leg.

Lin Jianxia adjusted her position, choosing a comfortable posture, and let out a long sigh of relief.

As if remembering something, she looked at Lin Tingwan standing to the side, her eyes crinkling as she said:

"Wanwan is here too, it's so comfortable."

Lin Tingwan blinked and lay down next to her sister.

Fortunately, the bench was long enough that she could lie on her side with her legs bent, resting her head on Jiang Yubai's other thigh.

So Jiang Yubai was left with the two sisters, one on each side of her legs, unable to move or stay still.

"So your punishment... is to lie on my lap too?"

He reached out and poked Lin Jianxia's little face.

Lin Jianxia slapped the guy's paw away, squinted her eyes and snorted:

"What? You can use it as a pillow, but Wanwan and I can't?"

Jiang Yubai chuckled softly but remained silent.

He looked down and saw Lin Jianxia and Lin Tingwan's ponytails spread out on the stone bench, their soft strands brushing against his school trousers.

Two small faces, one on the left and one on the right, with their eyes slightly narrowed, both wore expressions of contentment, like two cats basking in the afternoon sun.

Sunlight filtered through the overlapping leaves and over the eaves of the pavilion, landing on the sisters' fair cheeks.

...You know what, she's actually quite cute.

As Jiang Yubai watched, he couldn't resist getting his hands dirty.

Lin Tingwan was obedient and let him pinch and rub her little face.

Lin Jianxia was taking pictures at first, but as soon as she finished, a thieving hand reached out again. In the end, she simply stopped taking pictures and squinted her eyes while humming:

"Hey...do you still remember?"

"Remember what?"

Jiang Yubai said casually while pinching the little face.

These two sisters have really good skin. Their faces are soft and smooth, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that their skin is like solidified cream. It feels so comfortable to pinch.

“It was…it was the first time we came here,” Lin Jianxia’s voice sounded soft and gentle. “Back then, I was pretending to be Wanwan, and I handed you a note to ask you to come over.”

Jiang Yubai remembered and couldn't help but chuckle:

"That time... I thought you were going to challenge me to a duel, that we'd each bring our own forces and settle things in the backyard."

Lin Jianxia lightly spat:

"I used to think you were a heartless, bad, and wicked playboy who definitely had designs on us sisters. If Wanwan hadn't thought you were a good person, I wouldn't have confronted you."

Her voice grew softer and softer, as if she were talking to herself.

"Who would have thought... you big idiot actually really are a big idiot... and you were such a great landlord for a whole year..."

Jiang Yu paused in his hand movements and looked down at her.

The sunlight was falling on the tips of her slightly red ears, making even the fine downy hairs clearly visible.

He chuckled and teased:

"I certainly didn't expect that the little hedgehog that would breathe on me whenever it saw me would end up lying on my lap with a cute and adorable girl."

"...Why is Wanwan described as an adorable and cute girl, while I'm described as a puffy little hedgehog?"

Lin Jianxia's tone suddenly turned dangerous.

Jiang Yubai ignored her, but casually pinched the girl's little face again before turning his head to look at Lin Tingwan on the other side.

Perhaps because she had gotten up early and been busy all day, Lin Tingwan lay on his lap, her breathing even out, her little face quiet, as if she had fallen asleep.

Seeing that he had looked away and remained silent, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but speak up:

What's wrong with Wanwan?

"She's asleep," Jiang Yubai said softly. "Do you want to take a nap too?"

"...You wouldn't do anything weird to me while I'm asleep, would you?"

Jiang Yubai remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a low, melancholy tone:

"Yes, you'd better not sleep, or I'll not only harm you, but I won't spare your sister either."

Lin Jianxia spat out a "pui" sound, but didn't say anything more. She simply closed her eyes peacefully, letting the familiar scent of mugwort surround her.

After an unknown amount of time, her breathing gradually became longer and more even, alternating with her sister's soft breaths from left and right.

Jiang Yubai withdrew his mischievous hand, looked at the two peaceful sleeping faces on his lap, and couldn't help but smile softly.

Today is the first time I've returned to Lin San Middle School after the college entrance examination. Apart from receiving my admission notice, this is probably the last time.

To be honest, if it were the Jiang Yubai of the past, he probably wouldn't have had much of a special attachment to her.

After all, his high school life before that was nothing special.

Going to and from school, occasionally playing games or catching up on homework during holidays, life is like a stagnant pool, without any ripples.

And now...

Lin Jianxia is right.

I never imagined that the cold and aloof 'Lin Tingwan' in my class would one day lie on his lap with my younger sister, sleeping so peacefully without any defenses.

He took a deep breath and tilted his head back.

Sunlight filters through the leaves, dappling my skin with a warm, gentle touch.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and the chirping of cicadas rose and fell in the distance.

The sun was shining brightly, and the wind was gentle.

Just like the peaceful sleeping faces of the two sisters, it was incredibly beautiful.

Chapter 257 Sister, could you please stop talking?

June 12th.

Jiang Yubai woke up early from his sleep.

After staring blankly at the familiar ceiling for a while, he took a deep breath and got out of bed.

After quickly washing up, I stepped out of the bedroom wearing a brand new set of clothes.

After all, Lin Jianxia always complained that he was covered in black or gray, so this time he changed into a set that the girl had picked out for him before.

A light gray short-sleeved shirt paired with off-white casual pants creates a refreshing and clean look.

After admiring himself in the mirror for a while, Jiang Yubai glanced at the time, hissed inwardly, and quickly grabbed his keys and went out.

Since today is the sisters' birthday, it's impossible to ask Lin Jianxia to come and make him breakfast again.

Jiang Yubai had already made it clear that he would take care of all three meals and the itinerary for the day, so the two sisters could just relax and have fun with him.

Since he'd already made the promise, he would naturally be the one to buy breakfast.

Standing on the street, he looked around and, without much hesitation, walked toward the Cantonese dim sum restaurant on the street corner.

Lin Jianxia mentioned before that she wanted to eat shrimp dumplings and crystal buns. As for Lin Tingwan, who likes sweets, buying some coconut milk cake and egg tarts should be enough.

To be honest, Jiang Yubai had considered cooking a decent breakfast for the two sisters himself.

Just thinking about seeing Wanwan's bright, sparkling eyes and that little hedgehog's "Wow!" sounds so amazing.

However... to avoid a tragedy like the two birthday celebrants suffering from food poisoning before they even leave the house, it's better to be on the safe side.

After buying breakfast, Jiang Yubai carried the bag back to her room and arranged it in a neat and orderly fashion, just like Lin Jianxia had done before. She even thoughtfully poured two glasses of warm milk.

With an almost obsessive-compulsive tendency, Jiang Yubai adjusted the angle of the chopsticks. After everything was ready, he glanced at the wall clock in the living room.

After all that fuss, it's now exactly 8:25, just five minutes shy of our agreed-upon 8:30.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and opened the group chat with the two sisters.

The group name is [Landlord, Little Hedgehog and Beautiful Girl].

Of course, this was his own note; after all, if it were really this, a certain little hedgehog would definitely not stand for it and would absolutely come over and take a couple of bites.

【Jiang Bi Niao Yu Bai】: Two birthday celebrants, are you up yet?

Within ten seconds, the phone vibrated.

[Wanwan]: [Image]

It was still a photo of a spiral notebook, with a line of neat, small handwriting on it:

"Get up, Jiang Yubai, good morning."

【Jiang Bi Niao Yu Bai】: Good morning, good morning~ Come have breakfast tonight.

[Little Hedgehog]: Coming, coming, open the door.
