Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 22 What does it mean to be tempted by my cooking?

After staring at the closed door next door for a while, Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip and finally looked away.

She took out her keys, turned around, and went into her own home.

Lin Jianxia turned on the living room light as a habit, but then paused slightly as she turned her head.

Lin Tingwan, who usually stays in her room at this time, is now sitting at the dining table, staring at her without blinking.

"Wanwan?" Lin Jianxia's heart tightened, and she quickly walked over. "What's wrong?"

Lin Tingwan shook her head, wrote something in her notebook, and showed it to her sister:

"rent?"

So that's what you were worried about...

Lin Jianxia breathed a sigh of relief, patted her younger sister's head, and said in a relaxed tone:

"It's alright, Jiang Yubai took me to get my wages back. You didn't see the boss's face, she was furious."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan blinked and wrote something in her notebook.

This time, the strokes were noticeably slower, so serious that Lin Jianxia became a little curious.

A moment later, she held up the notebook, on which were neatly written:

"Jiang Yubai is a good person."

Lin Jianxia: "..."

Seeing this comment, which was already the third time it had appeared in the "good person" category, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Although Jiang Yubai did indeed help them a lot, but—

They're practically trying to recruit your sister as a maid, and you're still here giving them the "friend zone" card!

but......

"Wanwan," Lin Jianxia frowned, "tell your sister the truth, did Jiang Yubai really not talk to you?"

Lin Tingwan shook her head and gave the exact same answer as before.

That! This! Guy!

We've never even chatted, how did you manage to trick your own Wanwan into this state?!

Lin Jianxia thought to herself, then placed the small cake she was carrying on the table and instructed:

"Hey, Wanwan, have a small cake to tide you over first. I'm going to take a shower, and then I can heat up the food when I come out."

Lin Tingwan nodded obediently, picked up the small cake, and went back to her room.

After watching her sister close the door, Lin Jianxia turned and went into the bathroom.

The reason I chose this room was because, although it was small, it had its own kitchen and bathroom.

After all, the two sisters are both very clean, and if they share with others, they will inevitably get covered in cooking fumes or unfamiliar smells, which is really unacceptable.

The warm water washes away the stickiness and fatigue accumulated under the summer sun.

Lin Jianxia comfortably squinted her eyes, letting the warmth envelop her entire body.

Indeed... taking a bath is still the most comfortable thing...

In the small bathroom, the sound of running water mingled with soft singing:

The summer breeze blows gently, clearly saying you love me~

"I've seen your cool smile, and also your shy moments~"

As she hummed, she scooped up a handful of warm water and watched it leak through her fingers.

For no apparent reason, that annoying smiling face appeared in front of me again.

"..."

Even though I had already refused... but after that bastard said that, I somehow nodded as if possessed.

Even now, thinking about it still makes her feel a little dazed.

I... I actually agreed to be his maid...

Although Jiang Yubai spoke sincerely, saying things like "I was just helping to tidy up the room and cook" and "I absolutely didn't mean anything else."

It sounded so serious at the time, but now that I think about it...

Aren't these just lines that scumbags use to fool young girls?

I've read the novel countless times, how could I still fall for this guy's trick!

What do you mean you're craving my cooking? I'm probably craving it even more...

Lin Jianxia gently bit her lower lip, preventing the thought from fully surfacing.

But the vague, inexplicable restlessness in my heart quietly spread with the warm water, even subtly tinging my ears with color.

Why is the water a little hotter today...?

She reached out and turned the temperature down a bit, but her thoughts drifted uncontrollably elsewhere.

But it must be said that Jiang Yubai was right.

The workplace is just a few steps from home, which couldn't be more convenient.

And my younger sister no longer has to wait for me to come home hungry to cook, and I don't have to worry about her getting into trouble while she's home alone...

The salary is good, the work is easy, it doesn't interfere with my studies, and it even provides three meals a day. No matter how you look at it, this job is simply perfect.

...except for the possibility that a boss might maliciously harass you.

No, no, I can't think about it anymore.

Lin Jianxia hurriedly turned off the shower, grabbed a bath towel, and carefully dried herself off.

As the mist rises, the mirror gradually becomes clear, reflecting a slender and smooth waist, soft curves like the undulating spring mountains, and a pair of straight and long legs.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the girl gently pursed her lips.

...It should be considered...good-looking, right?

No wonder that guy...

Her ears started to burn without her noticing, so she quickly patted her cheeks, put her clean clothes back on one by one, and then opened the bathroom door.

The dishes Jiang Yubai brought at noon were quite lavish; although the two of them had eaten quite a bit earlier, there was still a small portion left.

Perfect! These dishes can be heated up and made into a ready-made dinner.

After dinner, Lin Jianxia was about to get up and clear the dishes when she suddenly felt someone gently tug at the corner of her clothes.

"What's wrong?"

She looked up in confusion, just in time to see the small notebook that Lin Tingwan handed her.

"Sister, I have to go to school on Monday, right?"

The moment Lin Jianxia saw the words, her body stiffened.

She then realized that she seemed to have overlooked an extremely important issue.

She had originally agreed to let her younger sister go to school next week because she planned to completely sever ties with Jiang Yubai after paying the rent this weekend.

But... things didn't go as she expected at all.

Not only did she fail to rightfully warn Jiang Yubai "Don't harass my sister at school," but she was instead led away by him in disgrace to get her wages back.

This bastard even wants to become his own master... ptooey, boss!

If Wanwan goes to school, wouldn't there be a huge problem?

Jiang Yubai... will definitely still pass Wanwan little notes!

Add to that his own sister's inexplicable attitude towards him, and wouldn't he be exposed after all this?!

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxia felt a wave of dizziness.

Seemingly noticing that something was off about her older sister's expression, Lin Tingwan tilted her head, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes.

She took back the notebook and added a line at the bottom:

"Can't we go?"

Looking at her younger sister's expectant eyes, Lin Jianxia opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to say no.

"Um... let's go on Tuesday." She forced a smile. "I have some things to take care of on Monday, so how about I go to school on Tuesday?"

Hearing her older sister say this, Lin Tingwan finally put away her notebook with satisfaction.

Lin Jianxia smiled and ruffled her hair before turning to clear the dishes.

As soon as she turned her back, her little face immediately fell.

It's better to confess voluntarily than to be caught red-handed.

Since Wanwan has to go to school on Tuesday, it means that I'll be using my sister's identity...

Probably, possibly, I'm afraid.

I have to be honest with Jiang Yubai on Monday...

Ruined.
