A god-level beauty system? But I'm already a god-level beauty!

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Binjiang No. 2 Primary School.

The sun slowly set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

The once bustling and crowded school gate is now sparsely populated, with almost all the students and parents gone.

Little Lin Chunuan stood alone by the roadside, occasionally tiptoeing to look at the end of the road. Her round face was chubby, her little mouth was slightly pouting, and her face was full of grievance.

Why isn't Dad here to pick me up so late today?

Watching her classmates being picked up by their parents one by one, leaving the school gate empty, made the little girl feel increasingly lost.

"Nuan Nuan, hasn't your dad arrived yet? It's already 5:30."

A gentle female voice rang out, and the young homeroom teacher, Liu Xiaolu, squatted down, looking tenderly at the little girl who was left alone.

She had only been working there for a few years. She was gentle and patient. Even though it was long past her off-duty time, she was still worried about the few children who were stranded there, so she stayed there.

"Should the teacher call your father and ask what's going on?"

"No need, teacher."

Lin Chunuan obediently shook her head, raised her little wrist, showed the message her father had sent in advance on her smartwatch, and whispered, "Daddy said something came up and he'll be there soon."

"That's good." Liu Xiaolu was relieved and smiled as she patted her little head.

Suddenly remembering something, she asked curiously, "By the way, Nuannuan, I heard that your new deskmate and the new transfer student tomorrow is your brother, right?"

"The teacher would like to ask, what kind of child is your brother?"

elder brother?

Upon hearing those two words, Lin Chunuan instantly recalled the scenes of being "bullied" by Shen Ye last night and this morning.

The images of being carried around, being completely controlled, and being forced to acknowledge an older brother instantly flooded my mind.

The little girl frowned deeply, put her hands on her hips, and angrily began her tattling mode.

"Teacher! He's so mean!"

"He's a big, strong-willed bully who only picks on kids, doesn't like to talk, and is cold and aloof! And he's not good-looking at all, not even half as pretty as Nuannuan!"

She made her accusation with utmost seriousness, her tone incredibly earnest.

Liu Xiaolu was stunned on the spot. Instantly, she conjured up an image of a chubby boy who was strong, domineering, unreasonable, and liked to bully his classmates. She sighed silently and felt a pang of worry for her student.

"Oh? I see..."

"real!"

Lin Chunuan got more and more carried away, continuing her tirade: "He deliberately bullied me yesterday! Teacher, you must help me teach him a lesson tomorrow and not let him bully his classmates again!"

The little girl was speaking so vividly and enthusiastically that she didn't notice the two figures quietly approaching from behind.

"Cough cough—"

A soft cough, clearly carrying a hint of warning, suddenly rang in my ears.

Lin Chunuan's complaining mouth stopped abruptly, and she stiffly turned her head away.

What came into view was her father, Lin Jianye, who was gesturing for her to shut up.

Beside his father stood Shen Ye, his features refined and his expression subtle, a half-smile playing on his lips.

Those dark eyes were staring straight at her.

Lin Chunuan's brain went blank for a moment!

Spicy!

He was caught red-handed talking badly about someone behind their back!

An overwhelming sense of shame instantly swept over her entire body, and her face flushed bright red at a visible speed, from her cheeks all the way to her ears.

Startled, she quickly shrank back and hid behind Lin Jianye, clinging tightly to her father's leg, burying her head completely, too ashamed to look up at anyone.

"Hello, Ms. Liu, I'm so sorry, something came up on the way and I was delayed. Thank you for taking care of my child the whole time."

Lin Jianye quickly stepped forward and sincerely thanked Liu Xiaolu to ease the awkwardness.

"It's nothing, it's what we should do."

Liu Xiaolu smiled and waved her hand.

Her gaze fell on the boy beside her, and she asked softly with a hint of curiosity, "Is this Shen Ye, little friend?"

"That's right. From now on, we'll have to trouble the teachers to take good care of him at school."

Lin Jianye smiled and responded, then gently pushed Shen Ye forward half a step, bringing him fully into the teacher's view.

"Hello, teacher." Shen Ye bowed slightly to Liu Xiaolu with proper posture, his manners polite and well-behaved.

The moment he straightened up and looked up, Liu Xiaolu's eyes lit up, filled with undisguised amazement.

Good heavens, this child is so good-looking!

She stared intently at the boy before her, her heart filled with emotion.

Shen Ye's eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely beautiful, his skin was fair and translucent, and his dark eyes were cold and deep, exuding a sense of aloofness. His lips were clean and neat.

Despite her indifferent expression and aloof aura that keeps strangers at bay, her appearance, when combined with these traits, is so captivating that the more you look at her, the more delightful she becomes.

Liu Xiaolu's first thought was: This is great! The new transfer student is such a cute little boy. Just looking at him in class will be a pleasure.

But after the initial joy, Lin Chunuan's earlier words resurfaced in her mind, and a deep sense of doubt quietly crept into her heart.

Physically strong, bullies classmates, and has an average appearance...

The Shen Ye before her was completely different from the one Lin Chunuan had described; there was no resemblance whatsoever.

Liu Xiaolu subconsciously turned her head to look at Lin Chunuan, who was hiding behind her father. Her eyes were filled with a bit of inquiry and suspicion. She thought to herself: This little girl is probably just joking with me on purpose.

As dusk settled, the evening chill slowly enveloped the campus. Lin Jianye exchanged a few more polite words with Liu Xiaolu, thanking her for taking care of the children for so long, before bidding her farewell and embarking on their journey home with the two children.

The group hadn't gone far when Lin Chunuan, who had been holding back her emotions all the way, snapped. She forcefully shook off Lin Jianye's palm, her two little braids swaying from side to side with the movement, her face full of unhappiness.

"Dad, why are you so late picking me up today?"

"Well..." Lin Jianye scratched his head somewhat guiltily and explained tactfully, "Dad went to pick up your brother Xiaoye first, and that took a while, so I'm late."

"What?!"

Lin Chunuan suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared at Lin Jianye in disbelief.

In her memory, her father had always loved her the most. In the past, no matter what, he would always take her first. Today, however, he went to pick up someone else first, leaving her waiting at the school gate for so long.

The little girl felt wronged and resentful. She forcefully pulled her hand back, took short, quick steps forward, and angrily said, "Then Daddy might as well live with him and not have Nuannuan anymore!"

"Nuan Nuan, don't talk nonsense." Lin Jianye quickly caught up and tried to take his daughter's hand again, his tone full of flattery.

But Lin Chunuan was in a fit of anger and had an exceptionally stubborn personality. Every time Lin Jianye reached out, she ruthlessly shook him off.

Seeing his daughter throwing a tantrum, Lin Jianye, who always doted on his child, felt both amused and exasperated, completely at a loss for what to do, looking utterly like someone on the verge of tears.

Just as the father and daughter were at an impasse, Shen Ye, who had been walking silently to the side, suddenly spoke up and took the initiative to smooth things over for Lin Jianye.

"Don't blame Uncle Lin, I asked him to come pick me up first."

"you?"

Lin Chunuan stopped and turned around to look Shen Ye up and down. Thinking of how easily he had manipulated her yesterday, she still felt a bit wary and no longer dared to throw tantrums or huff at Shen Ye as recklessly as before.
