Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 53 Hug~

This time, Lin Tingwan didn't pull her hand back; she just held it up quietly, letting Jiang Yubai finish eating the skewer of enoki mushrooms following her movements.

Then, she naturally took the remaining skewer and ate it in small bites.

Jiang Yubai then belatedly realized...

Is this girl seriously carrying out what she just said?

There was only one bunch of chives, but there were many chives, so each person got half a bunch.

There were two bunches of enoki mushrooms, so I handed him one.

Not too much, not too little, exactly half for each person.

Jiang Yubai thought about it more and more and felt that this was the case.

In this girl's mind, it's no big deal whether she reaches out to feed him or shares a skewer with him.

This idiot... probably has no idea what feeding play and indirect sex mean!

Thinking of this, he rested his chin on his hand and watched Lin Tingwan eat with a helpless expression.

Lin Tingwan didn't seem to care about being stared at like that; she just kept her eyes down and ate the enoki mushrooms seriously.

After swallowing the last bite, the girl gently placed the bamboo skewer into the trash bag and reached for the spiral notebook.

"It's delicious."

Jiang Yubai couldn't help but chuckle, casually asking, "What's wrong? Doesn't your sister usually buy you food?"

He realized his mistake as soon as the words left his mouth and almost slapped himself.

Lin Tingwan didn't seem to care, and simply showed him her little notebook:

"I buy it occasionally, but my sister doesn't eat it herself."

Looking at the words, Jiang Yubai pursed his lips, then smiled, adopting a "leave it to me" attitude:

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm your landlord now, I'll buy you more good food in the future."

Lin Tingwan looked at him, tilted her head, and stared straight at him.

Jiang Yubai felt somewhat embarrassed when his bold words went unanswered.

Just as he was about to say something more, he saw the girl lower her head, write a line in her notebook, and hand it to him.

"Can I have a hug?"

Jiang Yubai: "........."

I just wanted to buy you something to eat, but I didn't expect you to be so eager for my body.

He sighed, and finally spoke:

"Let's hug. Let's hug."

........

At the dining table.

As Lin Jianxia ate her meal, her gaze lingered on Jiang Yubai across from her.

"Sister, can't we just say what we want to say?" Jiang Yubai's lips twitched. "You're making me feel uneasy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Jianxia's muffled voice came through:

"Why were you able to invite Wanwan over for dinner? She refused to come before when I asked!"

"Well....."

Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment, his gaze unconsciously drifting to the side.

Lin Tingwan was sitting at the table, sipping her soup, showing no intention of answering.

"You're asking me... I don't know either," Jiang Yubai said helplessly. "Is there something wrong with how you asked?"

Lin Jianxia snorted but didn't press the matter further. She simply took a big bite of the sweet and sour pork.

Jiang Yubai took a sip of soup, then suddenly remembered something:

"By the way, since it's tutoring... how are Lin Tingwan's grades?"

"Slightly better than me," Lin Jianxia muttered, "but her math and physics are just as bad as mine."

Jiang Yubai frowned:

"Then... who will take the exam? If your sister takes it, won't I have to tutor her too?"

"No need, I'll take the exam," Lin Jianxia pouted, "I'll teach her after I've learned it."

Jiang Yubai nodded, offering no objection.

After finishing her meal, Lin Tingwan went straight to her room, while Lin Jianxia, ​​after cleaning up the dishes, wiped her hands and asked:

"Is it okay now?"

It's like we're about to save the world...

Jiang Yubai picked up his schoolbag and walked straight to the room next door:

"Come here."

This swift and decisive action startled Lin Jianxia slightly.

She glanced at the small room, then at the bright dining table, and hesitated for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she picked up her schoolbag from the sofa and followed them into the room.

The room wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy.

A large, dark wood desk stands by the window, next to a temporarily empty bookshelf.

In the corner, there was a double bed covered with light gray sheets, which looked like it could be used as both a guest room and a study.

Jiang Yubai was already seated at his desk, with textbooks, exercise books, and draft paper spread out on the table, looking ready to get started.

Lin Jianxia's gaze lingered on the bed for a few seconds before she walked to the desk and hesitated, saying:

"Is it...right here?"

"Yeah," Jiang Yubai said casually, "This desk is wide enough, and the chair is comfortable too."

He patted the cushioned chair next to him, his tone tinged with a hint of pride:

"Isn't this much better than those hard dining chairs in the living room?"

That's not the issue!

Lin Jianxia stared at him for a few seconds, then finally pouted in frustration and sat down next to Jiang Yubai.

"How so? Should we do the homework first? And then I'll teach you as we do it?" Jiang Yubai asked, tilting his head. "What should we do first? Chinese and English, or math and physics?"

Lin Jianxia thought for a moment:

"Let's start with Chinese and English, to see how your level is."

"Okay~ okay~ okay~" Jiang Yubai drawled, "I'll do whatever Teacher Lin says."

"...Could you please use a different form of address?"

"No problem, see Teacher Xia."

"......"

"Not satisfied? Then let's meet the teacher, Teacher Xia Xia—"

"Jiang! Yu! Bai!"

Jiang Yubai immediately turned around, pulled out a dictionary, and pretended to be doing her homework.

The little hedgehog's fur stood on end.

Lin Jianxia was so angry that her teeth itched, but seeing his serious expression as he looked down at the book, she couldn't lash out. So she puffed out her cheeks and started writing her test paper as well.

~

With a click, Lin Jianxia closed the pen cap and let out a long sigh of relief.

I glanced at the clock on the wall. It took me less than two hours to finish these two Chinese and English papers, which is a normal speed.

After all, there's no need to write an essay, and most of the other questions, which are homework assignments, only require brief answers without going into too much detail.

After checking it again, Lin Jianxia turned her head to see how Jiang Yubai had written it.

In her subconscious, even if this guy was slow, he should have already finished writing the second half of the second paper by now.

But she wished she hadn't looked; what she saw made her almost unable to believe her eyes.

Jiang Yubai's eyes were vacant, one hand supporting his chin and the other holding a pen, looking completely lost in thought.

The two exam papers in front of him were covered with scribbles and corrections, with large blank areas remaining.

"Jiang Yubai..." Lin Jianxia's voice was low and gloomy, "What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai seemed to finally come to his senses.

He turned to look at Lin Jianxia's paper, which was filled with writing, and instead of feeling embarrassed, he looked puzzled.

"Teacher Lin, why are you writing so slowly?"

Lin Jianxia: "?"

—Look at your two exam papers before you speak!

Anyone who didn't know better would think you had already finished writing and were waiting for me!

She angrily moved closer to Jiang Yubai and pointed to a multiple-choice question on the English test paper:

"You can't even do this?"

Jiang Yu's skin is incredibly thick:

"Won't."

"You don't even know what 'Restaurant' means?!"

Meeting Lin Jianxia's incredulous gaze, Jiang Yubai thought for a moment and tentatively asked:

"A place to rest?"

"It's a restaurant!!"
