Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 14 A Friday with Warm Breeze

My sister asked if you're free tomorrow.

Looking at the draft notebook handed back, Jiang Yubai let out a silent "uh" in his heart, and a question mark involuntarily popped into his head.

No, what does that mean?

Tomorrow? Isn't that Saturday?

Could it be that she was moved by his diligent feeding these past few days and was planning to treat him to a nice meal to express her gratitude?

He thought for a moment, then picked up his pen and wrote his reply on his notebook:

"Sure, what's up?"

After finishing writing, he casually took out a bag of milk candy from his bag, placed it on the draft paper, and handed it back.

A short while later, the notebook was returned:

"My sister said she's very grateful that you're willing to extend the rent payment period, and hopes you can come to our house on Saturday so she can pay the rent to you in person."

Upon seeing the content, Jiang Yubai subconsciously squinted and checked it several times before confirming that he hadn't misread it.

No, what does this mean?

If you were to say that Lin Jianxia felt some gratitude towards him, Jiang Yubai might be able to believe it to some extent.

He absolutely refused to believe that the other party would be "so grateful that they would want to pay him the rent in person."

Putting aside the fact that this girl has always treated him like a thief, just the fact that he's been using all sorts of tricks to flirt with her by writing notes these past few days has probably made her curse him eight hundred times in her mind.

So, is this... a trap?

Could it be that he genuinely couldn't afford the rent, so he deliberately found an excuse to invite the landlord over and treat him to a lavish meal...?

When the time is right, Lin Jianxia will smash the cup as a signal, and three hundred axemen will rush out of the house and chop him into minced meat.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai glanced sideways suspiciously, just in time to catch Lin Jianxia's furtive glance.

Seeing him turn his head, the girl immediately looked away, her gaze fixed on the exercises in front of her.

...Could you make your guilty conscience any more obvious?

There's definitely something fishy going on.

Jiang Yubai twitched the corner of his mouth and casually wrote down:

"Sure, I'll come over on Saturday afternoon."

After finishing writing, he subconsciously took out a small packet of cookies from his bag, but suddenly stopped just as he was about to put it on.

Wait a minute, didn't she ask me this time why I have to feed her snacks?

.....never mind.

He gently placed the biscuit on the notebook and pushed it over.

After waiting for two minutes, Jiang Yubai still hadn't received the notebook back.

Looking to the side, I saw that Lin Jianxia was already sitting upright, staring intently at the textbook on her desk, looking like she was focused on solving a problem.

The draft notebook remained untouched on the corner of the table—only the packet of cookies on it was nowhere to be found.

Okay, okay, you'll eat the sugar coating and then fire the cannonballs back, right? You haven't even replied to my previous messages yet.

Jiang Yubai was so angry he almost laughed.

He reached for his notebook and carefully copied his previous question back: "By the way, what kind of music does your sister usually like to listen to?"

Hmm, add a small loaf of bread, and it'll be perfect.

This time, the reply came very quickly.

Jiang Yubai took the notebook and saw four characters written neatly on it.

"Summer Breeze"

—Not bad, not bad, quite tasteful.

Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Yubai thought for a moment and then casually wrote a question on his notebook.

"Hmm... what kind of person does your sister like? Does she have any criteria for choosing a partner?"

After writing down the questions, he looked down and rummaged through his bag for a moment, finally deciding to give people some vitamins—so he reached out and picked up an orange, gently placing it on the notebook.

...I must say, this really does have that feeling of feeding and interacting with virtual pets from back in the day.

It turns out that the saying that girls eat less is definitely not true for senior high school students.

Staying up late and waking up early every day, coupled with intense mental exertion, will take a toll even on a small appetite, naturally increasing the body's energy requirements.

Lin Jianxia was no exception.

Ever since discovering that snacks have a special effect on her, Jiang Yubai has gone to the supermarket almost every morning without fail, stuffing all sorts of snacks into her schoolbag like a shopping spree, just waiting to feed them during self-study class.

In just a few days, he subtly inquired about almost everything about Lin Jianxia, ​​including her height, weight, food preferences, and even her daily routine.

Of course, Jiang Yubai did this not to prepare for pursuing someone or anything.

I just thought... teasing her was really fun.

Although Lin Jianxia herself may not have realized it, the way she was so angry about the problem but dared not show it in person, so she could only vent all her emotions on her pen—it was really too interesting.

He could even roughly judge her current level of anger by the force with which she wrote and the sloppiness of her handwriting.

These fragmented thoughts raced through Jiang Yubai's mind as he twirled his pen and glanced to the side.

The draft notebook was still lying quietly in its original place, and the orange was still placed neatly on it.

After two days of feeding, Jiang Yubai gradually figured out some patterns.

In general, it's not that Lin Jianxia didn't see it, nor that she's picky about food; it's just that this time... she probably doesn't want to answer the question.

Jiang Yubai turned the pen with a hint of regret.

Sigh, asking about her ideal type directly in front of her... it seems I've crossed a line she can accept.

He took the notebook, first crossed out the line of text, then thought for a moment and asked a different question.

-----------------

The familiar rustling sound of paper came again. Lin Jianxia glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and saw the question that had been rewritten.

"Does your sister follow celebrities? Does she have a favorite male star?"

What?! Oh?! Ah!

Isn't this just a different way of asking about your ideal type?!

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, surprisingly not feeling much anger.

Firstly, these kinds of problems have been appearing far too often lately, so much so that she's become quite exasperated and can't even keep up with getting angry.

Secondly... Jiang Yubai isn't acting at all! He dares to ask about everything, from height and weight to taste preferences, practically asking, "Is your sister interested in me?" It's outrageous!

Isn't he afraid that his "younger sister" will go back and complain to her older sister?!

Forget it, it's already Friday anyway. I'll get paid tonight and talk to him about it tomorrow when I pay the rent!

As for now...

Lin Jianxia pursed her lips, reached out and put the orange into her schoolbag, then picked up her pen and wrote two large characters heavily on her draft paper:

"Don't chase!!"

She even added two exclamation marks after it, a self-deceptive attempt to express a little bit of anger.

Just as I handed over the draft notebook, the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

Lin Jianxia almost reflexively packed her schoolbag and fled the classroom as if escaping.

Only after she walked out of the school gate and blended into the flowing crowd did she finally relax her tense shoulders and let out a soft breath.

Finally... this week is finally over.

Once I collect my salary from the bookstore, I can pay the rent tomorrow.

The large rock that had been hanging in mid-air was finally able to fall.

And most importantly—she finally didn't have to put up with that bastard's endless harassment anymore!

Thinking of this, Lin Jianxia's lips unconsciously curled up, and she walked briskly towards the bookstore.
