Sister, can I be a maid too?

"Okay, I'll go prepare the food now~"

The waitress's expression remained unchanged, her smile still sweet. Before leaving, she gently flipped the wooden sign next to the private room door to face the front, and then left with light steps.

...I felt like this guy's shoulders were shaking a little when he turned around. Was he trying to hold back a laugh?

The thought flashed through Jiang Yubai's mind, and he turned his head, saying irritably:

"No, are you done pinching him? Are you done pinching him?"

Lin Jianxia then snorted and withdrew her hand:

"You really want someone to call you 'master,' don't you? The waitress's maid outfit is pretty, isn't it? I think someone's eyes are practically glued to her!"

"Hey, hey, hey, this is blatant slander," Jiang Yubai couldn't help but complain. "I didn't even hesitate before you started shoving me, okay?"

Lin Jianxia didn't dwell on it any longer. She just pursed her lips, glanced at Jiang Yubai, and looked like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Say what you want to say."

Jiang Yubai grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she simply reached out and pinched the boy's little face, saying in an annoyed tone:

What are you being so hesitant about?

Lin Jianxia, ​​unusually, didn't immediately swat his hand away. Instead, she lowered her head and whimpered for several seconds before muttering softly:

"Well... why did that waiter think Wanwan was your girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu was taken aback.

He turned his head and looked over, only to meet Lin Tingwan's gaze.

Jiang Yubai then realized that even after sitting down, the girl was still quietly holding his wrist.

"Jiang! Yu! Bai!" Lin Jianxia gave him a headbutt, puffing out her cheeks in anger. "I'm asking you! Why are you looking at Wanwan?"

"Wanwan was holding my wrist, and I subconsciously assumed we were boyfriend and girlfriend..."

Jiang Yubai casually offered an explanation, then suddenly felt a surge of amusement and couldn't resist teasing him:

"Oh, so you're feeling resentful because you're not my girlfriend, huh?"

"........"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? A gentleman uses words, not fists!"

After taking two more harmless cat punches, Lin Jianxia continued to glare at him angrily:

"Can you stop being so narcissistic! I mean... if Wanwan were your girlfriend, wouldn't you two be going on dates? What would that make me then?!"

Jiang Yu thought for a moment and then answered:

"Uh...the sister-in-law who accompanied her sister and brother-in-law on their date?"

Lin Jianxia was stunned for two seconds, then slowly widened her eyes.

-----------------

"Um... three guests, is there anything you need?"

The waitress, carrying the tray, asked cautiously:

"I think I just heard a noise..."

Lin Tingwan looked at Jiang Yubai, who was slumped over the table, with some concern, while Lin Jianxia gave the waiter a bright smile:

"It's okay, it's okay, we were just joking... Just put it on the table..."

"......OK."

The young lady hesitated before putting down her plate and placing the food and snacks ordered by the group on the table.

Lin Jianxia's gaze shifted, and she was suddenly drawn to a small figure at her feet.

It was a fluffy white cat, curiously looking up at the people on the table.

Noticing her gaze, the waitress smiled and said:

"You can pet them or play with them using a cat toy~ We also have complimentary cat treats here that you can feed them."

"Of course, if you don't want to be disturbed, we also have a dedicated cat-free isolation area where you can move over."

"no, I'm fine!"

Lin Jianxia quickly waved her hand, but her eyes were fixed on the kitten with bright eyes:

"But...it won't bite, will it?"

"Unless they do something extremely extreme, like pulling your tail, they generally won't."

The young lady collected the tray, glanced down at it, and then smiled as she introduced it:

"Her name is Snowball, and she's one of the best-tempered cats in our shop. You should be able to hold her."

She paused, then added:

"However, it's best not to bring the kitten onto the table, and be careful that cat hair doesn't get into the desserts. Each of our desserts comes with a dust cover, so you can cover it up when you're not eating it."

"Please enjoy your meal, sir."

After the waiter left, Lin Jianxia couldn't wait to bend down and carefully hold the snow-white cat in her arms.

The white cat seemed to be enjoying itself, squinting its eyes and letting out a comfortable "meow~".

Lin Tingwan also turned her head and looked over with some curiosity.

Lin Jianxia happily petted the cat, then looked at Jiang Yubai, who was still lying on the table, and pursed her lips, saying:

"Jiang Xiaobai, the snacks are here, stop pretending to be dead."

Jiang Yubai buried her head in her arms and grumbled irritably:

"I've already been beaten to death on the spot, don't bother me."

He has such a foul mouth...

Even though they knew this little hedgehog was easily provoked, they still kept trying to provoke it.

Now look what's happened, her waist is probably all bruised from being twisted...

Lin Jianxia was clearly a little embarrassed, and hummed twice:

"Who told you to talk so rudely... calling someone's sister-in-law that stuff is awful..."

Jiang Yubai ignored her and continued to lie there pretending to be dead.

He's already dead. He only gets up if he gets a hug from a sweet and soft girl every night.

But Lin Jianxia would definitely breathe on her skin again, so I'll pass.

well.......

"Jiang Yubai? Wake up, there's a delicious cake."

"There are also cats! Super cute cats! Aren't you going to get up and take a look?"

"Jiang~Yu~Bai~"

"Jiang~Xiao~Bai~"

"Yu Yu's White~"

"Get up... I'm sorry, okay...?"

The voices around him grew softer and softer, but Jiang Yubai stubbornly lay on the table, pretending not to hear them.

"Wanwan, please help me talk to this idiot..."

A few seconds later, Jiang Yubai felt his clothes being gently tugged, as if Lin Tingwan had also come closer.

He lay there, and then gently squeezed Wanwan's hand with his other hand.

So Lin Tingwan obediently stopped moving.

—Hmph, looking for Wanwan, huh? Looking for Wanwan won't help.

You've been inflicting inhumane violence on me every day, today I'll show you that I, Jiang Xiaobai, also have a temper!

As I was thinking these thoughts, I suddenly felt a silence around me for a while, except for the sound of a kitten meowing.

...Could it be that we're giving up?

Just as I was thinking this with some doubt, the fragrance of lavender suddenly became stronger.

The next second, a soft sound suddenly came to my ear—

"Meow~"

Her voice was soft and sweet, with a slight tremor at the end, carrying a hint of shyness.

After a two-second pause, Jiang Yubai was completely stunned.

Chapter 260 May I ask quietly... which one is your girlfriend?

After realizing where that "meow~" came from, Jiang Yubai practically jumped up.

Holy crap, what did I just hear?

He turned his head in disbelief, only to see... a cat?

The pure white cat was held high, resembling a soft, limp strip, and it lazily meowed once.

No, that sound just now was definitely not like that.

He looked suspiciously to the left, and the white cat tag was nervously swayed to the left.

He looked to the right again, and the cat treat was quickly moved to the right, completely blocking it.

Jiang Yubai clicked his tongue and simply reached out to push aside the fluffy white cat, revealing the girl's flushed face behind it.

"W-What are you doing...."

Lin Jianxia's ears and face flushed a rosy pink. Her voice was soft as she held up the cat to shield her face.

"Meow one more time," Jiang Yubai tried to make his tone sound reasonable. "If you meow one more time, I won't be angry."

The kitten poked half of Lin Jianxia's head out and spat angrily.
