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

The bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, and students left the classroom one after another.

The noise echoed in the corridor, a mixture of footsteps and voices, gradually fading away.

It was already quite dark, and the autumn night wind carried a chill, making my face feel cold.

The streetlights came on, casting a dim yellow light on the path outside the campus, stretching the shadows of pedestrians long.

Shen Ye was walking down the road, with Chu Cihan skipping and hopping ahead of him.

She was unusually lively today, walking briskly, her ponytail swinging behind her head, gleaming softly in the streetlights.

Shen Ye watched her retreating figure, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She wasn't usually quiet, but today she seemed unusually excited, as if something happy had happened.

As for Lin Chunuan...

He lied and said that the teacher needed to talk to him and that he would be going home late, so he told her to go home first.

Although Lin Chunuan was somewhat unwilling and her eyes showed a hint of disappointment, she still obediently left.

Before leaving, she reminded him to go home early.

As for the reason for doing this—

Chu Cihan tossed him a note, telling him not to rush off after school, as she had something to show him.

The handwriting on the note was neat and beautiful, and it contained only a short sentence: Don't leave after school, come with me.

Shen Ye was curious about what it was, so he followed along.

After walking for a long time, Shen Ye felt increasingly uneasy.

This road... why does it look so familiar?

The shops, streetlights, and even the old locust tree along the roadside were all places he passed by on his way to and from school every day.

Isn't this the way home for him?

"Chu Cihan," he called out to the girl in front of him, "Where are we going?"

Chu Cihan stopped and turned around, a mysterious smile on his face.

The light from the streetlamp fell on her face, reflecting the cunning glint in her eyes.

"You'll find out if you follow me," she said.

"But this seems to be the way home..."

"That's right." Chu Cihan blinked. "Let's go."

Helpless, Shen Ye could only continue to follow.

He grew increasingly suspicious, wondering what Chu Cihan was up to.

After walking for a few more minutes, the two finally stopped.

Shen Ye looked up and was speechless.

Before him stood a two-story villa, the very house where he lived.

The villa's lights were on, and warm light shone through the windows, making it look especially cozy in the night.

"So you just wanted to take me home?" He looked at Chu Cihan. "You went through all that trouble just to take me home?"

Chu Cihan smiled and said, "Don't be in such a hurry."

She walked to the wall of the villa and looked inside through the iron fence.

Her gaze lingered on the first floor of the villa for a moment, as if confirming something.

"Is Lin Chunuan in this villa right now?" she asked.

Shen Ye was taken aback for a moment. "What else could it be? The lights are all on inside, Nuan Nuan must be inside."

"That's good." Chu Cihan nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Shen Ye was completely bewildered.

"What do you mean, 'that's good'? What exactly do you want to do?"

Chu Cihan did not answer, but looked at him with a sly glint in his eyes.

A night breeze blew by, carrying a slight chill, but Shen Ye felt that the atmosphere around him had become somewhat subtle.

Suddenly, she took a step forward and pinned Shen Ye against the villa wall.

She moved quickly, and before Shen Ye could react, he was already trapped between the wall and her.

Shen Ye was stunned.

This scene... seems somewhat familiar.

Last night, Lin Chunuan also pinned him down on the shoe cabinet in the entryway in the same way.

Why do I keep getting pinned against the wall by girls lately?

"You..." He was about to say something when he saw a wicked smile on Chu Cihan's face.

Her face was very close to his, so close that he could see the curve of her eyelashes and smell her faint fragrance.

"Didn't Lin Chunuan want to possess you?" she said softly, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Then I'll make sure she doesn't get her way."

"I'm going to be right under her nose..."

Shen Ye frowned. "What are you talking about? What do you mean Nuan Nuan wants to possess me?"

Chu Cihan looked at him, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"You're so dense," she said. "How can you not see something so obvious?"

"What did you see?"

Chu Cihan did not answer, but just looked at him with a slight smile on her lips.

"Never mind, we can talk about some things later."

Her hand moved off Shen Ye's shoulder and slowly landed on her school uniform jacket.

Her fingers hooked onto the zipper, and she slowly pulled it down.

The sound of the zipper sliding was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, like some kind of signal.

As Shen Ye watched her movements, a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"Chu Cihan, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Cihan's school uniform jacket was already fully unzipped.

Inside, he was wearing a mysterious black and white outfit.

That's a set...

Shen Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

That's a maid outfit.

The black and white maid outfit, with delicate lace trim, is elegant yet playful in design.

The skirt hem falls just above the knee, the neckline is tied with a cute bow, and the cuffs have a fluffy design.

Chu Cihan looked at Shen Ye's shocked expression and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"How is it?" she asked softly. "Do you like it?"

Shen Ye opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

He remembered that Mu Jingyan had shown him herself dressed as a maid before.

That was the punishment for the bet; she lost, so she had to wear it for him.

But......

Why is Chu Cihan dressed as a maid?

"What is this...?" he asked with difficulty.

Chu Cihan did not answer, but just looked at him with a smug look in his eyes.

"Didn't you say you liked maid outfits?" she said softly. "Then I'll wear one for you."

"Under Lin Chunuan's very nose."

She was competing with Lin Chunuan.

Lin Chunuan wanted to possess Shen Ye, to monopolize his attention, and to keep him in her own world.

And the Chu Ci is cold...

She wouldn't let her have her way.

She had to do these things right under Lin Chunuan's nose.

Right here, right next to this wall, just a wall away.

This competitive mentality...

Shen Ye didn't know what to say.

He could only look at Chu Cihan, at her standing in front of him dressed as a maid, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

The villa was brightly lit.

Lin Chunuan is inside; she might be watching TV in the living room or waiting for him to come home in her room.

And they were right there by the wall outside the villa.

They were separated by only one wall.

A gentle night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness, but the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
