Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 48 The Pig Eating Cabbage

"You carried him up?!"

"Uh...she insisted on..."

"You insist on carrying me?!"

"...I didn't say I hugged him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia immediately relaxed:

"Phew...that's good."

"She carried him up."

"?"

Lin Jianxia almost couldn't catch her breath:

"Is there a difference?!"

Jiang Yubai shrugged:

"Of course there's a difference. When I hug her, it's called a hug. But when she hugs me... I'm just a pillow, I don't even move my hands."

"But you still hugged him!"

"Hey, didn't you tell me to try my best to meet her demands?"

Jiang Yubai complained.

"Your Wanwan has only made this one request, and she's made it more than once. I can't very well refuse, can I?"

Lin Jianxia instantly grasped the key point and raised her eyes alertly: "You mentioned it more than once?"

"Wait, how many times have you hugged her?"

Jiang Yubai didn't intend to hide it—after all, it didn't seem like he had any ulterior motives.

"Yesterday was the second time. The first time, she didn't even ask me before she pounced on me."

"But after I spent half an hour explaining things to her... this time she finally remembered to write it down in her little notebook and ask me first."

He paused, then said slowly:

"Just a friendly reminder, your sister only thought hugging should be comfortable after reading your novel, it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Jianxia's somewhat indignant expression suddenly froze on her face.

After a long while, she suddenly buried her face in her hands, her voice muffled as it escaped from between her fingers:

"I am such a sinner..."

Jiang Yubai took a bite of the ham and egg pancake and mumbled:

"If you feel this is inappropriate, I can refuse in the future."

"Or... if you think there's something wrong with this kind of chatting, I can try to have less contact with her in the future."

Lin Jianxia kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yubai glanced at him and reminded him:

"Let me make this clear beforehand, your sister's perception... is actually quite problematic, and I'm not sure how it will ultimately develop."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia finally took action.

She raised her head, gazed at him for a long while, and then suddenly sighed.

"I know that Wanwan has never had the opportunity to learn about these things since she was a child, let alone receive any systematic education on how to treat people and conduct herself."

"In addition, the situation has become more and more serious as she has isolated herself over the years."

Jiang Yubai hummed in agreement.

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and said, "But thank you for being willing to tell me all this."

"No matter what, it's better than her staying cooped up in her room all the time."

"If possible... I hope you can talk to Wanwan more often in the future."

"after all...."

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and didn't continue speaking.

After all, besides her older sister, it seems that Wanwan is most willing to get close to you.

"OK."

Jiang Yubai nodded without any objection:

"I'll stack some armor here first, just in case something really happens later, don't blame it all on me."

".....What kind of trouble are you trying to cause?" Lin Jianxia's tone immediately became wary.

Jiang Yubai, however, remained completely unperturbed, simply shrugging and saying:

"I can only guarantee that I won't cause any problems on my own side, and that I won't abduct your sister or anything like that. As for anything else..."

He glanced at Lin Jianxia.

"You should think about how to hide your novels properly—they're really setting a bad example for kids."

Lin Jianxia choked, wanting to retort, "Wanwan is only a few months younger than you," but she swallowed the words back and just mumbled "Oh."

So angry.

Why do I feel like my own beautiful cabbage has been eaten by someone else's pig, and I can only watch helplessly from the sidelines?

But she couldn't get angry, since it was her own daughter who started it.

Not only that, but you also have to think about how to make the pigs eat more comfortably!

—Oh well, it's just one... or two hugs.

—At worst, I can go back and have a good talk with Wanwan. What else could possibly happen?

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxia immediately felt relieved.

She glanced at the porridge on Jiang Yubai's table, pursed her lips, and said:

Is that enough?

?

No, if I say it's not enough, are you going to come downstairs and buy me something?

Jiang Yubai raised his head warily:

"Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious; what do you want?"

Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth: "Can't you tell the difference between good and bad words? I'm telling you to eat quickly, or you'll be late!"

Jiang Yubai was taken aback: "What, you're going to school today? Lin Tingwan isn't going?"

"Um."

Lin Jianxia nodded, then sighed.

"The original idea of ​​letting her go to school late at night was to let her interact with more people, which would be better for her condition."

"But as you can see, going to school has not only failed to improve her situation, but has actually made her sink deeper into autism."

"It would be better to..." she paused, her tone somewhat helpless, "to just chat with you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai let out a soft "uh":

"So Lin Tingwan won't be going to school anymore? What will happen to her studies? Won't she fall behind?"

"Of course not. If Wanwan wants to go, that's another story. As for her homework... I'll help her catch up."

Lin Jianxia replied with a couple of sentences, then couldn't help but glance at the clock on the wall, urging:

"Hurry up, we're going to be late!"

Okay, okay...

Jiang Yubai finished the last mouthful of porridge, then put the half-eaten ham and egg pancake in his mouth and mumbled:

"Let's go, let's set off."

.....

.....

When the two stepped into the classroom one after the other, they immediately attracted a lot of attention.

But as soon as Jiang Yubai's gaze swept over, the students all lowered their heads as if guarding against a thief, leaving him completely bewildered.

What's going on? Is he really that charismatic right now?

Jiang Yubai didn't pay much attention. He put down his schoolbag, sat down, and tidied up the papers on the table. For a moment, he found himself with nothing to do.

After all, he used to be either late or just barely made it. If he had a few extra minutes, he would have to hurry up and finish the breakfast he bought at the door. Unlike today, he had about ten minutes of free time.

Lin Jianxia, ​​who was standing to the side, had already handed in her homework and started reviewing her books.

Since leaving the residential area, this guy has been diligently cosplaying his younger sister, refusing to utter a single word.

Jiang Yubai looked around the classroom; most of the students had already arrived.

Some were copying homework, some were catching up on sleep, and some were chatting—just like every morning, it was quite lively.

His gaze quickly locked onto a figure engrossed in writing, and with a raised eyebrow, he got up and walked over.

Li Yang was diligently copying what he had learned when he suddenly sensed a figure beside him. Startled, he shuddered and looked up abruptly.

He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that it was Jiang Yubai:

"Brother Jiang, you scared me to death! I thought it was Abbess Zhang..."

Jiang Yubai looked around, grabbed a chair from a classmate who hadn't arrived yet, sat down, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"Well, Yangzi, that explains why you haven't been asking me for the test papers these past few days. Turns out you've found a new source?"

"Brother Jiang, you're sitting too far away," Li Yang chuckled. "Wang Jianglong is also good at math, so this is convenient for him."

Wang Jianglong was his new deskmate. He wasn't very familiar with Jiang Yubai, so he just nodded at him as a greeting.

Jiang Yubai withdrew his gaze and clicked his tongue:

"Master Zhang set up this 'study group' so that you could help each other, but you've turned it into 'copying each other' instead, haven't you?"

Li Yang didn't even look up, his pen moving with incredible speed and fluidity:

"This is also a form of mutual help!"

Jiang Yubai wasn't there to stop him from copying homework; he was there for something else.

"Hey, Yoko," he stroked his chin, "you're so well-informed, have there been any rumors about me lately?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yang paused, his pen stilling, and looked up.

"...Brother Jiang, there really is one."

Really?

Jiang Yubai frowned:

"No, why are people still spreading rumors? Is it about me and Lin Tingwan again?"

"Ah, no, that's not it," Li Yang said with a somewhat subtle expression, "It's just about you, Brother Jiang."

"My alone? What?" Jiang Yubai was taken aback.

Li Yang clicked his tongue and spoke in a very serious tone:

"Brother Jiang, they say... you're the principal's son."

Jiang Yubai: "?"
