Chapter 13 Hmph, everything is under my control
"I'm back."
Lin Jianxia gently pushed open the door.
The room was dimly lit, and Lin Tingwan was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly into the distance.
Hearing the sound, she turned her head, her eyes flickering slightly in the dim light.
"Is Wanwan hungry?" Lin Jianxia asked softly.
Lin Tingwan shook her head, picked up the spiral notebook beside her pillow, wrote a few lines, and held it up for her sister to see:
"I ate snacks."
Generally speaking, Lin Jianxia would prepare her younger sister's brunch before going to school in the morning, and dinner would be cooked fresh when Lin Jianxia returned.
During this time, if Lin Tingwan got hungry, she would eat some snacks herself.
Lin Jianxia walked to the cabinet and looked at the tin biscuit box:
"Is there enough snack in the snack bin?"
It's called a snack bucket, but it's actually just filled with loose bread and individually packaged soda crackers, all of which are the cheapest and most affordable options in the supermarket.
Seeing that only a few cookies remained at the bottom of the box, Lin Jianxia pursed her lips and placed her bulging schoolbag on the bed.
"Look, your sister brought you something delicious today."
Lin Tingwan nodded quietly, showing no particular reaction.
Then, she saw her older sister take something out of her bag...
Two juicy and plump braised chicken drumsticks.
A soft bread filled with golden pork floss.
Two boxes of strawberry milk.
Several packets of seaweed crisps with cartoon designs.
A small bag of dried cranberries.
Finally, there were three beautifully packaged milk chocolate balls.
The small metal bunk bed was instantly filled with snacks, which looked exceptionally plentiful in the dimly lit room, almost... unreal.
Lin Tingwan picked up a chocolate ball and examined it carefully in the dim light.
Seemingly puzzled, she picked up a notebook from the side, wrote a few words, and handed it to Lin Jianxia:
"Did your sister buy all of these?"
Upon seeing this line of text, Lin Jianxia's smug expression froze, and her tone inexplicably turned vicious:
"The food was all given to me by some bastard. Don't worry, Wanwan, you can eat as much as you want; it won't bankrupt him!"
Actually, this wasn't even all of it; there were originally two more loaves of bread, but she ate them on her way home.
That guy surnamed Jiang had an endless supply of snacks in his bag, and he always had one in his notebook with him.
They kept asking her about her situation!
Pooh!
Seemingly sensing her older sister's strange mood, Lin Tingwan tilted her head and looked at her for a while before finally nodding and dividing the snacks on the bed in half.
"I already ate at school, you should eat more..."
Lin Jianxia sighed, took out two packets of seaweed chips from the pile of snacks, and waved them in front of her: "Here, these two packets are enough for me."
Lin Tingwan thought for a moment, then took one of the two bags of chicken legs and placed it on the edge of the bed. She then reached out and wrote something in her notebook.
"I don't need it, you can eat it last night..."
Upon seeing the words on the notebook, Lin Jianxia's words of refusal suddenly caught in her throat.
"My sister's breasts aren't as big as mine."
Lin Tingwan held up the notebook with a serious expression.
That's right, that's probably the only difference between the two twins.
Although they are completely indistinguishable to the naked eye after they put on their clothes, they, as sisters, naturally know the difference.
Even though she knew her younger sister meant no harm, Lin Jianxia's tone still unconsciously carried a hint of gritted teeth:
"Okay! I'll eat it!"
She sat next to her younger sister, angrily tearing open a chicken leg and taking a big bite.
Jiang Yubai, I'll bite you to death!
Lin Tingwan, who was standing to the side, opened the bag of dried cranberries and began to eat them in small bites.
After taking two more bites of the chicken leg, Lin Jianxia rested her head on her sister's shoulder, thought for a moment, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Wanwan, when you were in school...did you remember Jiang Yubai?"
Lin Tingwan paused slightly.
She didn't rush to write, but gently turned a few pages of the spiral notebook and handed it to her sister.
"Jiang Yubai is a good person."
It was on Sunday that Lin Tingwan wrote down that sentence during the conversation between the two sisters.
The moment Lin Jianxia saw the words, she became alert.
She knew her younger sister better than anyone else—due to psychological reasons, apart from those who were particularly close to her, almost everyone else was just a plain white figure made up of interwoven lines to her.
Even the slightly better ones, like the teachers, are barely treated like NPCs.
But ironically, Jiang Yubai has already received this evaluation from his sister twice.
Wanwan is so innocent.....
Could it be that she was tricked by that playboy?
Lin Jianxia grew increasingly uneasy, so she sat up straight and asked seriously, "Wanwan, did he speak to you before?"
Although judging from Jiang Yubai's behavior, the two seem to have little interaction, but what if they do?
Judging from how warmly he treated me, he might be the same way with my sister...
"no."
Lin Jianxia was stunned.
No... In other words, Jiang Yubai has never taken the initiative to speak to Lin Tingwan.
Why then...?
She wanted to ask more questions, but Lin Tingwan had already put down her notebook and quietly started eating dried cranberries.
Never mind, it's good that I didn't lie to Wanwan.
Lin Jianxia felt slightly relieved, casually tossed the packaging bag into the trash can, and spoke in a light tone:
"By the way, Wanwan, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you~"
With Friday approaching and payday approaching, Lin Jianxia didn't try to save money too much and stocked up on next week's groceries in the refrigerator well in advance.
Lin Tingwan shook her head, indicating that either was fine.
She thought for a moment, then looked down and wrote a few lines in her notebook before showing it to her sister.
"Sister, do I have to go to school tomorrow?"
Lin Jianxia paused, then her expression changed drastically: "No, Wanwan, you can't go!"
Lin Tingwan tilted her head slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her amber eyes.
Realizing her reaction was too strong, Lin Jianxia quickly softened her tone and hesitated before saying:
"It's great that Wanwan wants to go to school... but the class just changed seats this week, and I'm worried you won't be able to adjust."
The main reason is actually that new deskmate...
What if my own sister goes there, and Jiang Yubai hands her a cake as soon as they meet?
She wouldn't be so worried about anyone else, but Jiang Yubai has some kind of magic that makes her sister have such a good impression of him!
He's just a pervert...
"Um... Wanwan, let's go next week," Lin Jianxia finally said. "I'll talk to you about school again this weekend."
Lin Tingwan blinked, and finally nodded gently.
Seeing her younger sister nod in agreement, Lin Jianxia's tone immediately brightened: "Okay, then I'll go cook!"
She made up her mind that once she paid the rent, she would cut all ties with that guy and save him from bothering her sister.
I got paid on Friday, took care of the rent on Saturday, and then gave Wanwan a good reminder over the weekend to be extra careful around Jiang Yubai.
Especially—absolutely do not accept any notes he offers!
Once everything is settled, it should be much safer to send my younger sister to school next week.
Grab plenty of snacks and run, let that playboy experience what it's like to be tricked!
Hmph, everything is under control!
