Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 75 A Belated Apology

Chapter 75 A Belated Apology (Seeking First Subscription)

Jiang Yubai finally breathed a sigh of relief after returning to his own living room.

No, that's too scary.

When we get there later...

I absolutely, definitely, and absolutely must give Lin a proper lesson tonight, so that she understands what "men and women should not touch each other" means.

After all, staying in that room any longer... Jiang Yubai felt that his willpower was being severely tested every second.

Lin Tingwan, in particular, was still clueless and seemed completely unaware of how alluring she was.

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

Jiang Yu shook his head to calm himself down.

His gaze swept around the house before finally settling on the kitchen.

The faint sounds of chopping vegetables and stirring of a spatula could be heard from inside, intermittent, mixed with a few wisps of enticing aroma.

Lin Jianxia... is probably busy making dinner inside.

He said he came to check on his sister's dinner preparations, but it was just an excuse to run away quickly.

As for whether or not to actually go see it...

To be honest, Jiang Yubai didn't really want to go.

Even if he was slow to notice, he could vaguely sense that Lin Jianxia's condition was not quite right today.

But the last time she acted like this, he did ask her, and Lin Jianxia simply ignored him.

Then, the night before last, the person just exploded on him.

So what's the meaning this time? Could it be that you think your apology wasn't sincere enough?

I can't exactly say something like, "I'm sorry, Sister Xia, please forgive me," right?

It was perfectly fine this morning...

After thinking it over, Jiang Yubai finally sighed heavily, got up, and walked towards the kitchen.

We still need to take care of our own little cook's feelings, otherwise what if she suddenly decides to poison herself one day?

Pushing open the kitchen door, Jiang Yubai peeked out cautiously.

Lin Jianxia was standing in front of the stove with her back to him, skillfully stirring the food with a spatula.

Her original high ponytail was probably changed to a low ponytail for easier cooking, and it hung smoothly down her back, complemented by the little bear apron tied around her waist...

I feel like the cook's power is too strong.

Perhaps the sound of cooking drowned out the doorbell, because Lin Jianxia was completely unaware of his arrival.

Jiang Yubai didn't disturb her. He simply closed the door quietly and stood a short distance away, watching her cook with great interest.

You know what, unlike my own method of making fried rice that always ends up burning, this professional technique is just pleasing to the eye.

No wonder it tastes so good.

Lin Jianxia only turned off the stove and deftly scooped the meat slices into a plate when they turned an enticing brown color.

She had just picked up the plate to put it aside when she turned around and bumped into a figure that caught her off guard.

"Whoa!"

"Hey, watch out!"

Jiang Yubai reacted quickly and grabbed her arm, managing to steady the plate that was about to slip from her grasp.

Oh my god, my stir-fried green peppers with pork... I almost lost everything before I even got a bite.

Lin Jianxia, ​​standing to the side, clutched her chest with lingering fear, and couldn't help but say angrily, "Jiang Yubai! You came in without making a sound!"

"Uh...sorry," Jiang Yubai awkwardly touched his nose, "I just saw you were cooking, so I didn't want to disturb you."

Is it really that scary? She looks like she's about to be scared out of her wits.

After Lin Jianxia finished shouting angrily, she seemed to suddenly remember something, and her voice unconsciously lowered: "You... why did you come here?"

"Oh, Lin Tingwan is eating cake over there. I was just killing time, so I came over to see you."

Jiang Yubai gave a casual explanation.

Upon hearing this, a barely perceptible glint flashed in Lin Jianxia's eyes: "Come... take a look at me?"

"Yes, you're not one."

Jiang Yubai suddenly stopped mid-sentence, quickly adding, "Of course, I didn't mean anything by it. If you feel offended, I'll leave now."

Looking at him like this, the faint light in Lin Jianxia's eyes quietly dimmed.

She understood, of course, why Jiang Yubai reacted this way.

The girl pursed her lips, a thousand words stuck in her throat, but in the end she simply lowered her eyes:

"

..It's fine."

After observing her carefully for a while and confirming that she didn't seem angry with him, Jiang Yubai finally felt a little relieved.

"Since you have no further questions, I'll head back now."

As he said this, he instinctively wanted to turn around and leave.

But as soon as she took a step, she felt someone gently tugging at the hem of her clothes.

Jiang Yubai was taken aback and turned around to look.

Lin Jianxia lowered her head slightly, her hand still stubbornly clutching the hem of his clothes, and her muffled voice came from below: "Can... we talk?"

What's with this feeling of déjà vu, like something out of a gravity-based movie...?

"Let's chat?" Jiang Yubai glanced hesitantly at the stove. "Now?"

"The dishes are all prepared. The ribs just need to be stewed for another ten minutes," Lin Jianxia explained softly.

Jiang Yubai originally wanted to refuse, after all, there was a little Tingwan next door waiting for his hug.

But... seeing Lin Jianxia's expression, he swallowed his words and could only nod helplessly in the end: "Alright, alright, then hurry up... your sister is still waiting for me."

The two sat down on the sofa, and Jiang Yubai poured her a cup of tea: "So... what exactly happened?"

He paused, shrugged, and said, "Let me make this clear beforehand: I know absolutely nothing about girls' feelings."

"If you want someone to talk to, I'm happy to listen, but if you're looking for advice..."

,

"...Then you've probably contacted the wrong person."

Jiang Yubai regretted his words as soon as he finished speaking, wishing he could slap his own foul mouth.

Damn it, I knew I couldn't break this habit of talking nonsense. I was determined to say less, but it just popped out again as soon as I sat down.

Isn't this the end?

The other person was already in a bad mood, and then you added such a sarcastic remark...

"Well, if you're worried about not getting the scholarship," Jiang Yubai cautiously tried to salvage the situation, "I can... um... memorize more English words."

Lin Jianxia blinked and subconsciously asked, "How much more?"

"Hmm... up to sixty?" Jiang Yubai asked tentatively.

Even in such a low mood, Lin Jianxia couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness.

Idiot... Who would consider increasing their daily vocabulary from fifty to sixty words a major sacrifice?

But this helplessness lasted only a few seconds before being replaced by deeper and heavier emotions.

She pursed her lips, as if she had finally made up her mind, and said earnestly, word by word, "I'm sorry about what happened before."

Aside from the ambiguous attitude last time, this time it can be considered a genuine apology.

After a brief moment of relief, Lin Jianxia's heart jumped again, and she looked at Jiang Yubai with some nervousness.

I'd probably get angry and snap at her, or I'd just ignore her and walk away.

After all, it's me...

Her heart was pounding, and she dared not think any further.

Under Lin Jianxia's somewhat uneasy gaze, Jiang Yubai across from her seemed to be momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up...?

'

He waved his hand dismissively, "It's okay, I have problems too."

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Jianxia stared blankly at Jiang Yubai, her mind going completely blank.

"
