Sister, can I be a maid too?

So what if they found out... and then they exposed her!

Fortunately, Jiang Yubai didn't tease her about it today, otherwise she might have fainted.

Lin Jianxia raised her head and continued to ask, "Besides the novel, what else did Jiang Yubai talk to you about?"

Lin Tingwan paused for a moment, then quickly continued writing.

"no."

Upon seeing this line of text, Lin Jianxia didn't think much of it and simply hummed in response.

She was thinking about something else.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Jianxia finally spoke softly:

"Then... Wanwan, do you hate talking to Jiang Yubai?"

Lin Tingwan raised her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear pupils, as if she didn't understand why her sister would ask such a question.

But in the end, she shook her head.

Lin Jianxia's heart suddenly started racing, and her fingertips unconsciously curled up.

The psychologist who treated Wanwan before said that these kinds of problems ultimately have to be faced and overcome by herself.

Doctors have also warned that if one continues to isolate oneself, the situation will only worsen.

The solution is actually quite simple:

Go out more often, interact and communicate with more people, and it's best to make more friends.

Ke Lin Jianxia tried many methods—she wanted to take her younger sister out for a walk, she wanted her to meet strangers...

But Lin Tingwan remained silent. In the early days after moving in, she didn't even want to step out of her room, let alone take the initiative to communicate with others.

Just when she was about to give up on the idea, it seemed... a turning point appeared.

To be honest, my sister was quite surprised that she was willing to chat with Jiang Yu for so long last night.

But looking at it now...

"Then...then if..." Lin Jianxia asked cautiously, "if Jiang Yubai...comes to talk to you every day, would you be willing?"

Under her sister's watchful gaze, Lin Tingwan quietly thought for a while.

Finally, she lowered her head, wrote a few words in the notebook, and gently pushed it in front of her sister.

Lin Jianxia suppressed her racing heartbeat and looked down—

Only two words were written on the notebook, each stroke clear and distinct.

"OK."

Chapter 41 Lin Jianxia, ​​is a girl who can be a mother.

Sunday morning.

Lin Jianxia stood in front of Jiang Yubai's house and gently knocked on the door.

Thump, thump, thump,

After a few crisp knocks on the door, there was no response from inside.

That's understandable, since it's only a little before seven in the morning, and Jiang Yubai said yesterday that he would never get out of bed on the weekend unless he woke up naturally. How could he possibly open the door at this hour?

Lin Jianxia patiently knocked a few more times, and after confirming that no one answered, she took the key out of her pocket.

With a click, the door lock opened.

She cautiously peeked in halfway and saw that the curtains in the living room were drawn, the light was dim, and it was quiet. Someone was probably still fast asleep in the bedroom.

Lin Jianxia silently said "Excuse me" in her heart before stepping inside.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the closed bedroom door, then she tiptoed toward the kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator, I found it filled with the groceries that Jiang Yubai and I had bought yesterday.

Looking at the abundant reserves, Lin Jianxia's mood improved unconsciously, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

In the rented room, her biggest worry was providing three meals a day for herself and her sister.

I was alright; the cafeteria had cheap steamed buns, bread, and porridge. But my younger sister couldn't go hungry, so I had to cook her a variety of dishes.

After deducting tuition and rent, there was hardly any money left, and they could only live a very frugal life.

Every time she watched the food in the refrigerator dwindle, she couldn't help but feel anxious, but she had no one to talk to.

For her, the sight of the refrigerator being packed full was incredibly reassuring.

Breakfast... What should I make for Jiang Yubai?

Lin Jianxia's gaze swept over the various ingredients, and she frowned slightly.

I forgot to ask him what he likes to eat yesterday...

She hesitated in front of the refrigerator for a while, picking and choosing, before finally reaching out and taking out eggs, bacon and toast, some side dishes, and three bottles of milk.

Hmm... I just learned how to make sandwiches, but I don't know if I'll be able to make them successfully.

I tied on my apron, turned on the range hood, and a low humming sound began to emanate from it.

Lin Jianxia skillfully heated oil in a wok, fried the bacon until fragrant, and then slid in the beaten eggs and stir-fried them until they were a tender golden color.

While the toast was toasting in the machine until it was slightly browned, she quickly layered the ingredients and finally cut it diagonally—three hearty sandwiches were quietly placed on the plate, golden and tempting.

Looking at the rather decent finished product, Lin Jianxia's lips curled up slightly.

hum~

After admiring it for a while, she put the warmed milk and a sandwich into a thermal container. Seeing that there was still no movement at the bedroom door, she could only purse her lips and take the remaining two items home.

After having breakfast with her sister, when she returned to Jiang Yubai's place, the clock on the wall was pointing to 9:10.

Lin Jianxia looked around, then went over and opened the curtains, instantly filling the living room with warm sunlight.

She tidied up the house briefly, then removed the pillowcase from the cushion she had once thrown on the floor, washed it, and hung it out to dry on the balcony.

After doing all this, Lin Jianxia sat in front of the living room and glanced at the bedroom door next to her.

It remained tightly shut, and there was not a sound coming from inside.

She can really sleep.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, thought for a moment, took out the key from the inside pocket of her clothes, and gently placed it on the coffee table.

Looking at the key, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

Honestly, they have absolutely no sense of caution...

Who would so easily hand over their house key?

Isn't he afraid that one day she might suddenly decide to take everything out of his house?

She was complaining to herself, but when she looked at the key, she inexplicably felt a surge of joy, as if she had been warmed by the afternoon sun.

Patting her cheeks, which felt a little hot for some reason, Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, rested her chin on her hand, and her thoughts immediately began to wander again.

Although Wanwan agreed, how should she bring it up with Jiang Yubai?

You can't exactly say, "Jiang Yubai, for my sister's sake, could you go and chat with her every night?"

They'll definitely feel like they're being completely baffled.

Whether the other person is willing or not is another matter. After all, strictly speaking, Jiang Yubai has already helped him a lot, and now he has to ask him for help again because of his sister's matter...

I haven't even repaid the favor I received from this job yet.

Does that mean I really have to wear a maid outfit to serve him?

Lin Jianxia quickly shook her head to shake off the strange images that inexplicably entered her mind.

She took a deep breath and couldn't help but look at the wall clock.

9:35.

By now... even the pigs should be awake!

Although, as agreed, her task seemed to be just to make breakfast—make it, put it in a thermal container, and that would have been considered a successful completion of her task.

Even if it gets cold and doesn't taste good after eating, isn't that his own problem?

but....

Well, after all, I need their help.

Besides, as a female... I mean, as a head chef, shouldn't I at least watch him eat the food before I've truly finished my job?

After considering all these random thoughts, Lin Jianxia finally made a decision.

She stood up, went to the kitchen to reheat the sandwiches and milk, and then walked to the closed bedroom door.

.........

Jiang Yubai dreamed that she had become a koala in a tree and was being chased and beaten by a group of squirrels dressed as maids.

The lead squirrel stood with its hands on its hips, its voice sounding strangely familiar:

"Jiang Yubai! Do you still dare to bully me?!"

He clung to a bare tree branch, shivering, his mouth stuffed with bitter and astringent leaves.

The squirrels were about to pounce—

Thump, thump, thump,

The crisp sound made Jiang Yubai frown. He subconsciously narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he replied weakly:

"...Who is it?"

The knocking stopped for a few seconds, and then a woman's voice, tinged with annoyance, came from outside the door:

"it's me!"

...Me? Who am I?

That voice... it sounds a bit like a female squirrel chasing him?
