Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 83 What does "two" mean?

Chapter 83 What does "two" mean?

Lunch was a simple meal of three dishes and a soup.

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, stir-fried bok choy, Mapo tofu, and a refreshing winter melon and pork rib soup.

Having seemingly figured out someone's taste, Lin Jianxia now always secretly adds one or two spicy dishes when cooking.

Jiang Yubai mixed the Mapo Tofu with rice, then scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, a satisfied look immediately appearing on his face.

The mellow aroma of sesame oil, the smooth texture of tofu, the delicate flavor of minced meat, and the fragrant rice are simply the perfect match.

After eating until he was half full, Jiang Yubai put down his chopsticks and turned to ask, "By the way, what are your plans for National Day?"

Like most schools, the seven-day National Day holiday at Lin No. 3 Middle School was shortened to five days.

However, for senior high school students who are buried in a sea of ​​questions all day long, this is a rare long holiday in the year.

Lin Jianxia, ​​who was eating with her head down, thought for a moment and gently shook her head: "I don't have any plans... I'll probably just study at home or something."

"How boring." Jiang Yubai said with disdain.

Since they opened up to each other, although there's still a slight awkwardness between them, things are much better than before.

At least Lin Jianxia no longer always looks preoccupied and cautious.

Jiang Yubai didn't have to constantly agonize over his words, afraid that he might say something that would upset his little cook.

Hearing Jiang Yubai's blatant disdain, Lin Jianxia raised her head in dissatisfaction: "So what are you planning to do? You're not really going to go on vacation, are you?"

"Isn't traveling just about going from a place you're tired of to a place other people are tired of?" Jiang Yu Bai immediately rejected the idea. "I'm not going."

Lin Jianxia narrowed her eyes: "That's perfect, since you're free on vacation anyway. Let's increase your English vocabulary from sixty to one hundred words a day."

"I think the afternoon is perfect—the sun is shining, just right for focusing on studying."

'

"...I can't this afternoon, something's come up."

You always have something to do the moment I ask you to review!

Seemingly sensing the blatant distrust in her eyes, Jiang Yubai explained helplessly, "I really have something to do. I have to leave after dinner."

"Depart?" Lin Jianxia paused for a moment. "Where to?"

"My mom just got back from her trip, and my dad just arrived home yesterday," Jiang Yubai shrugged. "So, they're calling me, their son, to come back and see them."

Upon hearing that it was really important, Lin Jianxia obediently uttered an "oh".

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How many days are you going to be gone? Are you coming back before the end of your vacation?"

Hey.

Jiang Yubai immediately laughed: "What, you can't bear to part with me? Why don't you come back with me to meet my parents? We've met them before anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but want to slap his own mouth.

Sure enough, Lin Jianxia's face flushed bright red. She glared at him angrily, her voice rising several decibels: "What nonsense are you talking about! Wanwan is still here!"

The way you're saying it... it's like it doesn't matter just because Lin Tingwan isn't here...

Knowing he was in the wrong, Jiang Yubai didn't dare to reply. He lowered his head and shoveled down a few mouthfuls of rice, scraping the bottom of the bowl clean before quickly getting up: "I'll be back this afternoon after lunch. I'm leaving now... Oh, by the way, remember to come to my study tonight. I have something to tell you."

After saying that, he decisively slipped out the door.

Lin Tingwan, who had been eating quietly, raised her eyes, first glancing at Jiang Yubai's hurried departure, then gently fixing her gaze on her older sister's face.

"Wanwan, Wanwan, don't listen to his nonsense!"

As Jiang Yubai descended the five-story staircase, he squinted as soon as he stepped out of the building.

The autumn sky was high and clear, and the sun was shining brightly—it was a rare and beautiful day.

Jiang Yubai didn't rush back. Instead, he strolled around the snack street, picked out some food from a few shops that were still open, and bought some fruit from a fruit shop.

After walking around the whole area and having his hands full of things, he casually hailed a taxi by the roadside.

By the time Jiang Yubai returned to the front gate of his villa, it was already past three o'clock.

Looking at the imposing iron gate, Jiang Yubai felt a sense of emotion.

Come to think of it... it really has been quite a while since I've been back.

Since moving here, I think I've only come back once, probably to get some comics or magazines for Lin Tingwan.

After all... he didn't miss his old life at all.

Now, a cute little maid prepares three meals a day and calls me to eat. There's a night market street downstairs, so I can easily grab a snack if I get hungry...

Isn't this much better than eating instant noodles in the middle of the night?

With these random thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Yubai composed himself and stepped inside.

"Mom—Mom One"

As I walked into the courtyard and stood at the entrance, I called out a few times, and then I heard footsteps coming from inside the house.

With a soft "click," Qin Huiyi appeared in the doorway.

"You brat, you finally decided to come back?"

"If I hadn't called you, were you not planning on going home to see your mother? You—"

She was halfway through her sentence when her gaze fell on the large and small bags he was carrying. She blinked in surprise, "Wow, has the sun risen in the west? You're bringing things home now? Why are you buying so much all of a sudden?"

Jiang Yu nodded without batting an eye: "That's right, now that our son is successful, he has to take care of his parents."

"Every time I eat well at home, I worry that you two are eating meager meals, so I bought some things to help you out."

"Here, these are all from the food street downstairs from my house. You two can eat whatever you like."

"Oh, you've only been gone a few days, and it's already like home, huh?"

Qin Huiyi rolled her eyes at him and started nagging again: "Let me tell you, the food sold in those food streets outside isn't necessarily clean in terms of oil and seasonings, so it's better to eat less of it."

'

As she finished reading, she changed the subject and took the heavy plastic bags: "However, considering your kind intentions, your father and I will reluctantly accept these."

"...Nobody's going to take it from you."

Jiang Yubai muttered something under his breath.

"Um?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Where's Dad?" He immediately changed his answer.

"They're sitting inside."

The two entered the house one after the other and immediately saw Jiang Pinglan sitting on the sofa watching TV.

The man was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and simple dark loungewear; he had a rather easygoing demeanor.

"Dad," Jiang Yubai called out, "I've brought you some delicious food."

Jiang Pinglan pushed up his glasses and exclaimed, "Wow! Crayfish, duck necks, and grilled fish and barbecue? You've really won your dad's heart. You have no idea how much your mom cooked for lunch!"

"Um?

'

Qin Huiyi glared at her.

"Hey, come on, come on." Jiang Pinglan didn't say anything.

Jiang Yubai was suppressing a laugh.

Qin Huiyi glared at him again before taking out the various snacks from the bag and placing them on the table, all the while scolding, "Don't praise him. You just got back yesterday, so you don't know, but your son is practically glued to that spot now."

"If you hadn't come back, he wouldn't have even bothered to come back and look at me."

Jiang Pinglan picked up a skewer of lamb and casually said, "That's good. Boys should learn to be more independent."

"Independent?" Qin Huiyi rolled her eyes. "I think it's more likely that those two girls over there held him back."

Jiang Pinglan was taken aback: "What little girl?"

A few seconds later, his voice rose even higher: "Two?!"
