Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 27 Sarilang! Sarilang!

Tuesday morning.

Jiang Yubai rushed into the classroom with his schoolbag and sat down. As the bell rang for morning self-study, he stuffed his schoolbag into his desk drawer and swallowed the bun in his mouth in a few quick bites.

The meat buns freshly made at the school gate have thin skins and generous fillings; swallowing them whole like this would be a real waste.

But since his home was too far from the school, and he was a heavy sleeper, there simply wasn't enough time for him to properly enjoy it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yubai was even more eager for the house that was being renovated to be finished as soon as possible.

After tidying up his stationery and textbooks, he took out his notebook and snacks from his bag, intending to do his daily tasks, but suddenly stopped.

etc.......

Jiang Yubai turned his head and looked at his deskmate next to him.

The familiar blue and white school uniform, the familiar delicate profile, the familiar high ponytail—she looked no different from usual.

Can......

If what Lin Jianxia said last night is true, then the person sitting next to him right now should not be his older sister, but his twin sister.

Lin Tingwan.

The image of those clear, glassy eyes flashed through Jiang Yubai's mind again. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a line on his notebook:

"Hello, Lin Tingwan!"

After finishing writing, Jiang Yubai looked at it, his gaze falling on the last exclamation mark, and he couldn't help but frown.

Even though it's the same format, why does it look cute when Lin Tingwan hands it to me, but silly when I write it myself?

What happened...?

He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't erase the exclamation mark. He gently pushed the draft paper along the edge of the table.

Jiang Yubai waited with a little anticipation, one minute... two minutes...

Several minutes passed, but Lin Tingwan seemed not to notice and continued to quietly look at the Chinese textbook in front of her.

Jiang Yu blinked.

Why isn't it responding? Does this one need to be fed too?

He pulled back his notebook, took a small piece of strawberry cake from his bag, placed it on top, and handed it over again.

"......."

There was still no response.

Jiang Yubai frowned and replaced the strawberry cake with caterpillar bread.

no response.

Lev Milk Chocolate.

no response.

Dr. Panda Gummies.

Still no response.

After trying several times, Jiang Yubai finally confirmed one thing...

It has absolutely nothing to do with what she writes or what snacks she keeps in her notebook—Lin Tingwan simply doesn't want to communicate.

After finally understanding this fact, Jiang Yubai was quite devastated.

Wait a minute, why did switching to a different route reset his affection level to zero?

That's not how it is in Ga La Ge Mu Li!

At home, Lin Tingwan would even secretly pass her a little notebook, but at school, she wouldn't even give her a glance.

He couldn't help but glance at her again. The girl beside him was quietly reading a book, looking like she was studying diligently.

and many more.

Jiang Yubai frowned, his expression gradually becoming suspicious.

Could it be that Lin Jianxia... is setting herself up again?

It was said that Lin Tingwan was coming, but it turned out to be her. She pretended not to recognize herself, so that she could legitimately ignore people.

Jiang Yubai thought about it more and more and felt that this was possible.

He couldn't help but lean closer and tentatively call out in a low voice:

"Lin Jianxia?"

The sound was very soft; only the two of them could hear it.

To Jiang Yubai's surprise, the girl beside him remained in the same position, without even a tremor in her eyelashes.

Ruined.

If it were Lin Jianxia, ​​hearing this name would definitely break her composure, and she would at least glare at him.

After all, this guy had repeatedly warned them never to mention the fact that the sisters had switched identities in front of others.

In other words...

The person in front of me is indeed Lin Tingwan.

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

Over the next half day, Jiang Yubai became increasingly convinced of this judgment.

Lin Tingwan beside him was unusually quiet.

She took out the corresponding books according to the class schedule, took down the necessary notes, and noted down the teacher's questions, classmates' discussions, and even the occasional glances directed at her...

There was absolutely no response.

For her, the school seemed to have truly become a fortress that needed to be heavily defended.

The method she chose was to completely shut herself off, leaving no gaps.

Jiang Yubai watched her mechanically turn the pages of the book, feeling that she was a completely different person from the girl who had secretly passed him the note.

Sometimes, he would even have a bizarre thought...

Could they not be twins, but triplets?

The girl in front of him, so quiet she was almost invisible, was the most silent one he had never truly met.

Putting aside his new deskmate, Jiang Yubai felt that the atmosphere in the class was somewhat strange.

Wherever he went, he always seemed to notice the strange looks from his classmates, accompanied by quiet whispers.

But whenever he subconsciously looked over, the sounds would suddenly stop.

Those who wanted to read continued reading, and those who wanted to admire the scenery continued admiring the scenery, as if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion.

He also asked Li Yang, but Li Yang looked completely clueless.

until--

After lunch break, Jiang Yubai had just entered the classroom when he saw a familiar figure standing next to his seat.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise and stepped forward: "Zhao Yun? You wanted to see me?"

Jiang Yubai didn't actually have much of an impression of the female protagonist in the scandal.

If I had to put it into words... I'd say I'm just an ordinary classmate with whom I have some interaction, but who I forget about as soon as I turn my back.

Seeing him approach, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and she subconsciously reached out to tug at his sleeve.

Jiang Yubai took a half step back without changing his expression: "Is there something you need? We can talk here."

Zhao Yun paused, her gaze unconsciously drifting to Lin Tingwan sitting quietly beside him, before finally lowering her voice to ask:

"Um... Jiang Yubai, have you confessed your feelings to Lin Tingwan yet?"

Jiang Yubai: "?"

These impactful words left him stunned on the spot. After a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask:

"No, where did you hear that from?"

Zhao Yun's ears turned slightly red, and her voice became a little softer:

"It's...it's what they said, someone saw you in the pavilion behind the school yesterday after school."

"Who said that?" Jiang Yubai frowned.

Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It was Dong Chengze and the others who said..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yubai had already turned around and walked towards the back of the classroom.

In the middle rows, several boys were secretly watching this side. When they saw Jiang Yubai walking straight over, they hurriedly lowered their heads.

Jiang Yubai stopped in front of their table, showing no mercy whatsoever: "What are you pretending for? It's quite amusing to spread rumors about me behind my back, isn't it?"

"Have you gone mute? Weren't you talking so enthusiastically before? Dong Chengze, speak up!"

Dong Chengze, who was in the lead, looked up somewhat awkwardly, his ears turning red, but he still stubbornly insisted on saying:

"Yesterday, weren't you and Lin Tingwan in the pavilion? Did I say something wrong?"

His voice unconsciously rose a little, and the students in the classroom all turned their gazes toward him.

"So, confessing your feelings in the pavilion?"

Jiang Yubai was so angry he almost laughed.

"Why don't you just say that using an umbrella in the rain is eloping? Does that mean if you and your crush brush past each other in a hallway, you've already pledged your lives to each other?"

Dong Chengze paused, glanced subconsciously at Zhao Yun not far away, then quickly turned his head away:

"I......."

"What do you mean, 'you'?" Jiang Yubai sneered, "You're the one who started those rumors that I was two-timing, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, Zhao Yun and Li Qiuyue ignoring you is because they're generous, and I'm ignoring you because I can't be bothered."

"You're still not done? Now you're spreading rumors about me and Lin Tingwan. Do you really think we're immune to criticism?"

After finishing his sentence, Jiang Yubai was too lazy to argue any further and turned to leave.

But the next second, Dong Chengze's resentful muttering drifted into his ears:

"What are you trying to do, trying to be a hero? Can Lin Tingwan even hear you? You're just trying to be..."

Jiang Yubai paused, turned around, and walked up to him:

"What did you just say?"

Dong Chengze seemed surprised that he would return, and hurriedly looked away, but then, as if he had found some leverage, he forced himself to say:

"Say something, what's wrong with her? She...she's mute and half-deaf, she can't hear anything anyway! What's wrong with her saying something!"

Jiang Yubai remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, he grabbed Dong Chengze's desk with both hands and, to the other's astonishment, flipped the desk and books over.
