I have no regrets about my 2D world!

A slap landed on Ling's head, instantly interrupting her words. Ling turned her head without hesitation and wanted to say something, but she shrank her head when she met Sakura's eyes.

In order to help her sister cure her talkativeness, Ying covered her mouth with one hand.

"Ling, if you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for taking you back."

"Hmm..." Ling shook her head quickly, thought about it but nodded again.

The dish has just been served, you can’t just go back without eating a single bite. As for not saying anything...that’s impossible!

My sister finally got a job that makes her life easier, how could she let it go so easily?

As for whether her sister would refuse? They had been together for so many years, how could she not know her sister's personality?

As long as you don't explicitly refuse, it's acceptable.

But it was obvious that his sister was a little embarrassed at the moment, so he had to change his approach even if he said it.

Ling blinked at Sakura, pointed at the hand covering her mouth, and then pointed at the hot food on the table.

Ying nodded silently, "Stop talking nonsense."

I'm not talking nonsense!

Ling nodded in agreement, then Sakura loosened her hand and glanced at Bai secretly. She felt relieved when she found that Bai didn't show any big movement.

She admitted that what Ling said just now did make her heart beat faster for a moment, but when she thought about her current job, that feeling of excitement instantly disappeared.

Her hands were already stained with blood, and all she could do now was to protect her sister from going down her path. Even if she wanted to care about other things, she was already powerless.

Sakura collected her thoughts and looked at the prepared meal in front of her, then picked up the cutlery on the table.

"Ah~"

A familiar sigh came from beside her, and Ying suddenly had a bad feeling.

But Ling picked up the cutlery, her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and some tears appeared in her eyes.

"Mom and Dad passed away early, and I know it was not easy for you to raise me alone. You were usually busy with work, so I didn't dare tell you about any parent-teacher conferences or activities at school that required parental participation.

We may not have a chance to play together once a month, and I don’t want to delay your work, sister.

But now... never mind, I didn’t say anything.”

Ling waved her hand to wipe away the non-existent tears, and rubbed her eyes to make them look redder.

Then he picked up the cutlery with a depressed look on his face and stretched his arm towards the table.

"bell..."

Seeing her sister's depressed look in front of her, Ying lost her appetite for a moment. She reached out and hugged Ling in her arms, whispering in her ear.

"Ling, I know you work very hard. I've always seen your efforts and I've always wanted to spend more time with you, but my work doesn't allow it.

Seeing you so miserable makes me feel bad too. I promise to spend more time with you in the future. How about you just eat your meal obediently now?

After dinner, you can go wherever you want."

"Sister..." Ling lay in Ying's arms, and her heart couldn't help but tremble when she saw Ying's gentle appearance.

She never thought of making her sister angry or sad, because as she said, she knew how difficult her sister's life was.

This time, she just wanted to take this opportunity to get to know Bai and try to get some work information from her sister, so that even if her sister was busy with work and had no time in the future, she could still visit her secretly.

This might cause some trouble for his sister, but he thought that as long as he didn't get involved and just watched from afar it should be fine, so he acted out this scene.

But now this result has exceeded her expectations.

After a slight hesitation, Ling decided to tell Ying that she was just lying. Although she might get scolded, it would be worth it as long as Ying no longer felt bad.

"Sister, I'm sorry, actually I..."

"Sure." Bai's voice came from the side.

The curtain was about to fall, but unfortunately he didn't like this ending very much.

Ling's idea was good. She wanted to get her caring sister to tell her more things by acting pitiful. However, she was too young after all and couldn't grasp the right balance, resulting in a situation that looked like the sisters were separated.

Since these two have such a good relationship, she doesn't mind helping out.

Bai's words made the sisters who were expressing their true feelings look at the same time. Before Ying could speak, Ling had already shaken her head at her.

"I'm sorry, Brother Bai, I lied to you just now. If you are angry, just scold me. I won't refute it.

Being a maid or something, or..."

"I said yes."

Ling was stunned for a moment, and even Sakura frowned slightly.

Can't you see it's a joke?

Bai didn't care about their expressions, smiled slightly and said: "I'm not kidding, Ying, if you want to change your job, I can help you."

Ying shook her head slightly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Bai, but I have no plans to change jobs at the moment."

"Really? What if your future job involves your sister? Or has she already been involved, but you just pretended not to see it?" Bai narrowed his eyes slightly with a playful smile on his face.

Sakura's expression changed briefly, but she returned to calm in the blink of an eye.

"Can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"Sister." Ling beside her pulled the corner of Ying's clothes.

Ying turned around and smiled gently, "It's okay, Ling, it's rare to meet someone who knows my job, I just wanted to chat about work."

This doesn't look like the expression you would use when talking about work.

Ling pursed her lips, did not refute, and looked at Bai.

Bai poured himself a drink and took a leisurely sip.

"No need to borrow a step, just say it casually. I can guarantee that nothing will happen to you. Those people can't control me."

Sakura was silent for a moment.

"Are you from above?"

"That's understandable."

"Are they really doing that kind of thing?"

"Do you think you would let such a capable person go so easily if you were in their shoes? You would definitely take some precautions, right?"

"Then even if we promise you, how can you guarantee that you won't be like them?"

"It's simple, because no matter how outstanding your abilities are, you can't pose the slightest threat to me."

Bai raised an eyebrow and tapped the cup with his finger.

Sakura remained silent.

Ling looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Weren't they all fine just now, talking and laughing? Why did they suddenly act like they were making some evil deal, with all the bossy and threatening things?

"Ring." Bai suddenly spoke.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Ling suddenly looked at Bai.

"Your acting is very good." Bai gave a thumbs up.

"You...you see it?"

"Of course, your sister is just confused because of the situation. She will understand it after a little thought."

"Then please...never mind, just say whatever you want to say. I was planning on saying it anyway."

Ling wanted to ask Bai to help keep this secret, but then she remembered that she had already planned to confess, so she shook her head slightly.

"Brother Bai, what are you talking about? Is it about work?"

"That's right, you came up with an idea. I think it's a good idea, so I plan to discuss it with your sister."

"No way, are you really going to let my sister become a maid? I was just saying it casually."

Ling found it a little unbelievable. She just mentioned it casually, but why did these two people take it so seriously?

"Well, something does seem to be wrong."

"I told you, my sister has no experience as a maid and can't do it. If you really want to change jobs, you should choose something else." Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Bai shook his head, "No, I'm not talking about being unable to do it or not having the experience to learn. I'm talking about something else."

"what's up?"

"One maid is a bit too few. She may not be able to handle everything."

"It's not certain whether it can succeed or not, you're just thinking too much." Ling looked at Bai speechlessly, feeling that Bai was thinking too much.

"Besides, if it's not enough, then find another one. But first, let me tell you, I don't have any recommendations."

"No, you do." Bai reminded.

"Besides my sister, the only people I'm close to are some of my classmates. There's no way they would agree. How could they..."

Ling suddenly felt something was wrong. She found that Bai's eyes seemed to be always focused on her.

Facing Bai's inexplicably encouraging gaze, Ling pointed at herself and asked tentatively, "Could it be... me?"

Bai nodded in satisfaction.

"...No way, I'm only in middle school. Brother Bai, do you have the heart to let a middle school student be your maid? I'm afraid I'd be too tired to move even after doing a little housework."

"I can't bear it, and didn't I tell you that you can take it slow if you're not used to it at first.

Besides, if you come along, wouldn't you be able to spend more time with your sister every day?"

"That... seems to be the case." Ling's face showed a hint of hesitation, but then she shook her head, "Sister won't agree."

"How about we make a bet?" Bai immediately became interested.

"Sure, what do you want to bet on?" Ling agreed without hesitation.

"If your sister agrees, then your workload as maids will increase. If your sister disagrees, then I'll treat you to this meal, and I can also cover your meals for the next month."

"Okay, that's it."

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The two of them clapped their hands across the table, then looked at Sakura at the same time.

Bai tapped the cup again and asked, "Well, have you thought about it?"

Ling said nothing, just looked at Ying expectantly.

Ying was silent for a moment, "Can you guarantee that those things won't happen?"

"can."

"Then I promise you."

"Huh?!" Ling's face was filled with disbelief. "Sister, are you just going to agree to this? You're just going to quit your job now? I've tried to persuade you so many times but it didn't work. Why do you just..."

"Of course you didn't persuade him to the point." Bai said with a smile, "You don't have any problems now, right?"

Ling trembled and looked at Ying pitifully, "Sister..."

Ying shook her head and put her hand on her shoulder. "Ling, you have to do what you promised. Besides, I heard everything you just said, including the lie you told."

"Um, sorry sis, I get it!" Ling quickly sat up straight and apologized.

Ying smiled helplessly, then looked at Bai, "Then I wonder when exactly it will start?"

"Don't worry, while Ling is resting now, you can take her out to play for a few more days. After Ling goes to school, we can slowly discuss the details."

"Thank you very much."

"Hehe, thank you, Brother Bai."

With Bai's words, her sister's attention was instantly diverted, and Ling suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Now that you have finished discussing everything, then..."

Bai picked up the cutlery, "Eat!"
