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

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

The atmosphere among the five people was subtle and awkward.

Mu Jinghuan stood beside Shen Ye, head down, not daring to look her sister Mu Jingyan in the eye.

Shen Ye looked at the three girls, his lips twitching slightly, unsure of what to say.

Finally, Mu Jingyan broke the silence first.

She strode forward, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Shen Ye and Mu Jinghuan, her tone tinged with anxiety: "Are you... alright?"

Shen Ye felt a warmth in his heart when he saw her concerned eyes.

"It's nothing." He shook his head. "I'm fine, and Huanhuan is fine too."

Mu Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows remained furrowed.

"What exactly happened?" She looked at Shen Ye. "Why are some people saying you got into a fight because Huanhuan was being bullied?"

Shen Ye felt somewhat embarrassed.

He scratched his head, unsure how to explain it.

"It was... a misunderstanding." He chose his words carefully. "Someone told me that Huanhuan was being bullied, so I..."

"So you just rushed over and started hitting someone?" Chu Cihan chimed in, his tone laced with mockery.

Shen Ye: "..."

He paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yes."

"And then?" Mu Jingyan pressed.

"And then..." Shen Ye became even more embarrassed, "Then it turned out to be a misunderstanding. That person didn't bully Huanhuan; he just... just wanted to give her something."

"Deliver something?" Mu Jingyan was taken aback.

"Yes, that's right..." Shen Ye organized his thoughts, "He kept sending her snacks and drinks. Huanhuan refused, but he kept sending them anyway. After someone saw this, they exaggerated the story and told me that Huanhuan was being bullied."

"So you believed it?" Chu Cihan almost laughed out loud. "You didn't even ask any questions before you attacked?"

Shen Ye: "..."

He really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"I got scammed," he said helplessly. "That idiot said my sister was being bullied, and I acted impulsively..."

"You're really impulsive," Chu Cihan mocked.

Mu Jingyan didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Shen Ye.

Her expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

Shen Ye felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. "Um... I know I was too impulsive. I won't do it again."

Chu Cihan rolled her eyes. "You're so easily fooled, you're really too stupid."

Shen Ye: "..."

He really wanted to argue, but couldn't find a reason.

After all, he was indeed deceived, and in such an obvious way.

"The genius boy from No. 1 High School can't even make this much judgment," Chu Cihan continued, adding insult to injury. "Truly disappointing."

Shen Ye knew that Chu Cihan was mocking him, but he also knew that he had indeed made a mistake.

Looking at Shen Ye's embarrassed appearance, Mu Jingyan felt a mix of emotions.

Unlike Chu Cihan, she didn't mock him. Instead, she remained silent for a moment before saying, "Thank you."

Shen Ye was taken aback. "Thank me?"

"Hmm." Mu Jingyan nodded. "Although you were deceived, you acted so impulsively to protect Huanhuan."

Shen Ye looked at her, somewhat surprised.

He thought Mu Jingyan would blame him for being too impulsive and foolish, just like Chu Cihan did.

But she didn't.

She understood his original intention.

"I..." Shen Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Don't be so impulsive next time," Mu Jingyan said. "Ask first before you speak."

"I understand," Shen Ye nodded.

Mu Jingyan turned to look at Mu Jinghuan, "Huanhuan, are you alright?"

Mu Jinghuan shook her head. "I'm fine, sister."

"Where is that girl who stirred things up?"

"The head of moral education has already dealt with it."

"That's good."

She looked at her younger sister with a hint of heartache in her eyes.

She knew Mu Jinghuan's personality: quiet, introverted, and not good at communicating with people. She knew it must be very upsetting for her to encounter something like this.

"If anything happens in the future, remember to tell me," Mu Jingyan said. "Don't keep it to yourself."

"I understand, sister," Mu Jinghuan replied softly.

Chu Cihan watched the interaction between the two sisters without saying a word.

Her gaze kept glancing at Shen Ye, her expression complex.

Although she laughed at Shen Ye, she was actually worried about him.

When she heard the news that Shen Ye had hit someone, her first reaction was worry, and her second reaction was shock.

Now that I see he's alright, I can't help but want to make a few sarcastic remarks to him.

After all, he was really stupid.

They were so easily fooled.

"Alright, everyone go back to the classroom," Chu Cihan said. "Class is about to start."

Mu Jingyan nodded, then turned to Mu Jinghuan and said, "Huanhuan, you should go back too."

"Okay." Mu Jinghuan responded, then looked at Shen Ye, "Brother, I'm leaving."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Ye nodded.

Mu Jinghuan turned and walked towards Class Two.

Mu Jingyan watched her retreating figure, then looked at Shen Ye, and said, "Let's go back too."

"Okay." Shen Ye nodded.

The group walked towards the teaching building, but Shen Ye noticed that Lin Chunuan remained silent.

She had been standing to the side without saying a word since the beginning.

This isn't like her.

Normally, she and Chu Cihan would argue whenever they met, but today they were unusually quiet.

Shen Ye was a little worried and walked to her side. "Chu Nuan, what's wrong?"

Lin Chunuan looked up at him.

Her eyes held a complex expression, but she quickly concealed it.

"It's nothing." She shook her head. "As long as my brother is alright."

Shen Ye looked at her, feeling that something was off.

"Are you really okay?"

"Really?" Lin Chunu forced a smile. "I'm fine, brother, don't worry."

Shen Ye wanted to ask more, but Lin Chunuan had already turned and walked away.

"Let's hurry, class is about to start," she said.

Shen Ye had no choice but to give up and follow them.

But what he didn't know was that Lin Chunuan's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Seeing Shen Ye gently touching Mu Jinghuan's head and speaking to her tenderly just now felt like a needle piercing her heart.

That's her brother.

Her older brother, whom she grew up with.

But now, three girls are surrounding my brother—Mu Jingyan, Chu Cihan, and Mu Jinghuan.

Mu Jingyan is his study partner, Chu Cihan is his childhood sweetheart, and Mu Jinghuan is his "younger sister".

And what about Lin Chunuan?

She's his sister too.

However, seeing how gentle her brother was to Mu Jinghuan, she felt very uncomfortable.

That sour and astringent feeling made her feel very uncomfortable.

She knew that her brother's feelings for Mu Jinghuan were only those of a brother and sister, just as he felt for her.

but......

Why does she still care so much?

Lin Chunuan walked silently with her head down.
