Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 61 Jianjian Xia discovers she is attacked from both sides.

Jiang Yubai glanced at the girl standing quietly beside him, then raised his hand and knocked on the door again:

"Lin—Jian—Xia—, I'm starving! Open the door!"

At the same time, he also felt a little strange.

At this time of day, Lin Jianxia should have already prepared the meal and come to call them. Why is there no sign of them today?

Besides, the three of us had a delicious grilled fish meal last night, so we shouldn't need to prepare too many dishes today.

Could it be...?

This guy keeps saying "Don't bully my Wanwan," but he's actually just saying one thing and doing another, deliberately creating opportunities for him and Lin Tingwan to spend more time together.

It's not impossible...

Just as he was muttering to himself, the doorknob in front of him made a soft "click" sound and then slowly opened inward.

It's finally open.

"I said, Lin Jianxia, ​​you—"

Jiang Yubai's prepared rant was about to come out, but it got stuck in his throat.

He looked at the figure that appeared behind the door, blinked hard subconsciously, and didn't react for a moment.

Qin Huiyi, who was inside the door, was about to confront Jiang Yubai when she saw the slender figure behind him and froze in place.

For a moment, the mother and son looked at each other in bewilderment, creating a rather comical scene.

"Mom?!" Jiang Yubai was the first to react, her voice rising several decibels. "What are you doing here?!"

Qin Huiyi didn't immediately pay attention to her son. Her gaze went past Jiang Yubai's shoulder and landed directly on Lin Tingwan behind him.

The girl stood there quietly, her eyes slightly lowered, her demeanor as pure and clean as a gardenia after the rain.

His incredibly handsome profile, partially revealed, gave her an urge to turn around and look into the house.

Qin Huiyi's gaze lingered on Lin Tingwan for two seconds before slowly shifting back to her son's face, her tone rather subtle:

"Son...aren't you going to introduce yourself first?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yubai hissed inwardly but did not reply. Instead, he subconsciously turned to look at the girl beside him.

Lin Tingwan was looking down, almost hiding behind him, her little hand tightly gripping the hem of his clothes.

However, what put Jiang Yubai at ease was—

Seemingly upon hearing the way he addressed her, Lin Tingwan didn't revert to her usual withdrawn state when meeting a stranger; she simply appeared somewhat awkward.

"Um... Lin Tingwan," Jiang Yubai softened his voice, "this is my mother. She's a very nice person, so don't be afraid."

He paused, then said:

"Do you want to go back first? I'll bring your food over later, it's okay."

Upon hearing this, Lin Tingwan slightly raised her head and cautiously cast her gaze at the figure at the door.

Qin Huiyi also sensed something from her son's words and gave him a gentle smile.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Tingwan shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

Jiang Yubai didn't insist, then turned to look at his mother and sighed helplessly:

"Mom, this is my classmate, Lin Tingwan."

"Her older sister, Lin Jianxia...you've already met her, haven't you?"

Qin Huiyi had been holding back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak, her tone tinged with surprise:

"twin?"

Jiang Yubai didn't respond to that, but instead complained:

"Mom, weren't you supposed to be on vacation? Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? What would I have done if I hadn't been there?"

Qin Huiyi gave a soft "humph" through her nose, turned her head to give Lin Tingwan a meaningful glance, and then gestured with her chin towards the room, the meaning of which couldn't be clearer—

If I had notified you in advance... would your mother still be seeing this scene now?

Jiang Yubai was at his wit's end with his mother, who was always having a good time, so he led Lin Tingwan into the house.

As soon as I walked through the entrance hall, I saw Lin Jianxia, ​​wearing an apron, peeking cautiously into the kitchen doorway.

As soon as they entered, she immediately shrank back like a mimosa.

Jiang Yubai wanted to laugh but dared not, afraid that Qin Huiyi behind him would notice something amiss.

Looking back now, Lin Jianxia was probably caught completely off guard and cornered in the house by his own mother.

Given my mother's inquisitive nature, she wouldn't easily give up until she had a clear explanation of the whole story and its causes and consequences.

If I hadn't knocked, they'd probably still be chatting there...

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Jianxia.

Walking through the entrance hall, you'll find three dishes and a soup neatly arranged on the dining table, still steaming.

Jiang Yubai was about to turn his head to ask his mother if she had eaten dinner when he saw Qin Huiyi sitting down without any hesitation, seemingly determined to have this meal.

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched slightly as he led Lin Tingwan into the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the kitchen, Lin Jianxia lowered her voice and asked, with a hint of annoyance and panic:

"Jiang Yubai! Why did your mother suddenly come over?!"

Jiang Yubai shrugged:

"I don't know either... She hasn't even called me."

Lin Jianxia bit her lower lip, her gaze then falling on Lin Tingwan, who was following behind Jiang Yubai, her eyes immediately filled with worry:

"Is Wanwan... alright? Should we let her go back and rest?"

After all, in Lin Tingwan's eyes, Qin Huiyi was indeed a complete stranger.

Jiang Yubai didn't mention that he had already asked, but instead cast an inquiring glance at Lin Tingwan again.

This time, Lin Tingwan shook her head, her little hand still holding onto his clothes, not letting go.

"Oh right, my mom's eating here too," Jiang Yubai said, peeking into the rice cooker. "By the way, is there enough rice?"

"That's enough..."

Lin Jianxia looked worried and distressed.

"...You're making it look like an ugly daughter-in-law is going to meet her mother-in-law," Jiang Yubai complained.

"Who's the ugly daughter-in-law...!"

The voice had only risen halfway when Lin Jianxia suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes filled with terror.

"cough......."

Jiang Yubai suppressed a laugh, reached into the rice cooker to scoop out rice for several people, and carried the bowls and chopsticks outside.

run.

If he didn't run away soon... he was afraid Lin Jianxia would lose her temper and slam him to death in the kitchen sink.

On the table.

"Not bad, these ribs are very flavorful."

"The romaine lettuce is stir-fried until crisp and fresh, and the garlic flavor is just right, not overpowering."

"Mmm~ Kung Pao Chicken and Mushroom Chicken Wings are also delicious, and the cooking time is perfect."

Qin Huiyi praised every bite she took, her chopsticks moving incredibly fast.

Jiang Yubai's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but speak up:

"Hey, Mom, can you stop acting like a food critic? This person's skills are way better than yours."

"And don't just eat for yourself! You ate a huge meal while you were traveling, why are you trying to steal my food?"

Seemingly realizing that her eating manners had been a bit too unrestrained, Qin Huiyi coughed lightly and put down her chopsticks.

She gracefully wiped her mouth with a tissue before raising her eyes again:

"By the way, Yu Bai... your homeroom teacher told me that you got into a conflict with someone at school because of a classmate."

"Who exactly is that classmate?"

Jiang Yubai didn't intend to hide anything and said frankly:

"Lin Tingwan".

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jianxia, ​​who was trying to keep a low profile and eating quietly, suddenly stopped and looked up with a blank expression.

No, why didn't anyone tell me about this?!
