Sister, can I become a maid too?

Chapter 50: The Little Hedgehog Who's Always Being Teasing

After emphasizing a few more points, the homeroom teacher, Zhang Shufang, picked up the test paper and began to review it.

Jiang Yubai didn't take the notice he had just received too seriously. He twirled his pen while scanning the wrong questions on his test paper.

For him, such motivation for progress was far too distant.

Although he ranks among the top in his grade in math and physics, his scores in Chinese and English...

To put it bluntly, the future is promising and there is huge room for progress. We're already at rock bottom, so no matter which way we go, it's upwards.

To put it nicely, it's a pure blob, the kind that everyone avoids and even ghosts dread.

Even his Chinese and English teachers are too lazy to scold him now; he's probably given up on treatment altogether.

Although he tried to salvage his terrible Chinese and English grades, he was quickly overwhelmed by the confusing reading comprehension and the overwhelming amount of English vocabulary.

Holy crap, tell me what the author's psychology was expressed by the phrase "the fish's eyes emitted an eerie light"?

Even the author himself couldn't say it!

All I can say is... math and physics are still the best. Right is right, wrong is wrong, everything is clear.

Just as Jiang Yubai looked down at the exam paper, he suddenly heard a rustling sound of paper rubbing together.

Ok?

He subconsciously turned his head and saw that the draft paper had been pushed between the two desks at some point.

It was Lin Jianxia who secretly handed it to me.

Jiang Yubai blinked, a feeling of being flattered inexplicably welling up inside her.

After all, it was rare for Lin Jianxia to take the initiative to pass a note, especially since it was during class time.

Jiang Yubai glanced up at Zhang Shifu on the podium, and after confirming that she hadn't noticed them, he picked up the draft notebook and began to read.

"Can we make it into the top five in points?"

ha?

Jiang Yu blinked, hesitated for a moment, and then wrote a reply in reverse:

"Can...can we get in?"

The reply came back quickly.

"Sure, I can improve your math, Chinese, and English scores by a little bit."

Jiang Yubai's lips twitched.

You make it sound so simple...

He wisely wrote down his reply and pushed it back:

"My situation is completely hopeless. You'd better do your best."

There was no response from the other end of the note; they were probably stunned into silence by his self-righteous attitude of giving up.

Jiang Yubai didn't think much of it, assuming it was just Lin Jianxia's whim, and continued to look down at his wrong answers.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but Monday mornings seem to drag on forever.

When the bell finally rang for the end of the last class, Jiang Yubai felt that the little energy he had replenished in the morning had long been exhausted, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Standing at the cafeteria window, he enthusiastically ordered his dishes:

"Hmm... boiled shrimp, braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, and a chicken leg, please give me a generous portion, Auntie..."

He suddenly remembered something and turned around to glance back.

Sure enough, in a corner of the cafeteria, a familiar figure was sitting quietly.

He turned his head and said, "Auntie, could you please add another chicken leg for me?"

The cafeteria lady glanced at his 1.83-meter height and very generously gave him a large spoonful of rice.

Holding a large bowl full of food, Jiang Yubai turned her head and spoke very sincerely to Li Yang, who was still ordering:

"Yangzi, I won't be eating with you today. I have some things to take care of."

Li Yang was taken aback. Before he could reply, he saw Jiang Yubai walking briskly in a certain direction.

When he realized it was a corner of the cafeteria by the window, and a figure sitting alone in the corner, the doubt on his face instantly turned into glaring speechlessness.

"Alas, people value romance over friendship; how cold and heartless the world is..."

Li Yang muttered to himself, deciding to channel his grief and anger into his appetite, and turned to shout at the cafeteria lady:

"Auntie, could you please add another serving of sweet and sour pork?"

the other side.

Lin Jianxia was scooping up a spoonful of white porridge when a plate piled high with food suddenly appeared in front of her.

She frowned, and was about to pick up her tray and get up to move to another seat when she suddenly heard a teasing voice beside her:

"Hello, hello, can we share a table?"

Lin Jianxia paused, looked up, and met Jiang Yubai's annoying face.

Hmph inwardly, Lin Jianxia lowered her head and continued eating, determined to ignore this guy.

Jiang Yubai glanced at her still bland plate of food and couldn't help but speak:

"Lin...Lin Tingwan, is this enough food for you?"

The plate in front of him was exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

It was still two steamed buns and a bowl of plain porridge; I absolutely refused to touch any dish that didn't come with a subsidy.

His tone became strained:

"With such intense study pressure in the senior year of high school, I'm really afraid you'll collapse in my kitchen while I'm cooking dinner, and then I'll have to give you glucose."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jianxia finally reacted.

She glanced around to make sure no one was watching before lowering her voice in a huff:

"Don't worry, even if I faint from hunger, I'll just faint at home and definitely won't bother Young Master Jiang."

Oh, is she angry?

I don't know if it's because I flirted with her this morning... or because of my open attitude earlier.

Jiang Yubai thought for a moment, then tentatively began to speak:

"Speaking of which... I was right this morning, a high ponytail really does look better."

Lin Jianxia lowered her head and drank her porridge, without even lifting her eyelids.

Hmm, it seems that's not the reason.

"But then again," Jiang Yubai muttered to himself, "the reward for being in the top five sounds pretty tempting, should I give it a try...?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Jianxia paused in her act of eating a steamed bun, slowly raised her head, and asked in a soft voice:

"You...want to give it a try?"

So that's why?

"Want to give it a try? I don't know either," Jiang Yu shrugged. "You know how bad my Chinese and English are; they're basically hopeless."

"If I had to choose, I would prefer to put that energy into mathematics and physics."

Before Lin Jianxia could show any disappointment, he paused, then suddenly adopted an exaggeratedly troubled expression:

"Ugh, I don't know why I ordered an extra chicken leg today, I can't possibly finish it all. I wish someone could help me finish it off~"

Lin Jianxia gritted her teeth at that smug tone.

In the end, however, she still reached out with her chopsticks and quietly put the chicken leg into her own bowl.

Jiang Yubai nodded in satisfaction.

...Indeed, feeding is always a pleasant activity.

Lin Jianxia took a bite of the chicken leg and glared at him angrily.

Although chicken drumsticks are indeed very delicious....

But this feeling of being constantly teased is really annoying!!

"Don't glare at me," Jiang Yubai said calmly as he ate his meal. "Don't forget, Lin Tingwan would never show that kind of expression."

Lin Jianxia's expression froze. She lowered her head and viciously bit off a large piece of chicken leg meat, as if she were gnawing on Jiang Yubai's arm.

Jiang Yubai remained completely calm and simply asked:

"I'm serious, my two subjects alone aren't enough to save him. What are you planning to do?"

Lin Jianxia glanced at the classmates coming and going around her, bit her lower lip, and lowered her voice:

"...We'll talk about it when we get home."

Come back home?

Jiang Yu blinked.

Go back to...which home?
