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

"Yes." Shen Ye nodded gently and explained calmly, "I need to move all my books, stationery, and a lot of daily necessities from my old school back home when I transfer schools. There are too many things for me to carry by myself, so I asked Uncle Lin to come and help me as soon as possible."

As he spoke, he subtly gave Lin Jianye, who was still in a daze, a look, signaling him to continue the conversation.

"Uh...yes, yes, that's it!" Lin Jianye instantly realized what was going on and quickly agreed, clasping his hands together and smiling apologetically at his daughter, "Nuannuan, don't be angry with Daddy, okay?"

Lin Chunuan pursed her pink lips, her eyes darting around. Her anger had subsided considerably, but she still didn't immediately back down.

Seeing that the girl's attitude had softened, Shen Ye took out a beautifully packaged candy from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chunuan: "Consider this your compensation. If you are willing to forgive us, please accept it."

This candy was given to him by Chu Cihan without any explanation when they parted ways after school.

Shen Ye himself doesn't like sweets, so it's perfect for comforting the sulking Lin Chunuan right now.

He silently imagined Chu Cihan's reaction upon learning of this, guessing that he would definitely throw a tantrum.

I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you next time. In an instant, that little bit of guilt vanished.

Lin Chunuan's gaze was immediately drawn to the candy, and her eyes instantly lit up with a bright light.

She recognized it at a glance as an imported candy that had just been released recently. She had begged her mother to buy it for her, but a box was quite expensive, and her mother didn't agree after considering it. She had kept this in mind ever since.

"Well... I'll reluctantly forgive you then."

The little girl spoke with feigned modesty, carefully unwrapping the delicate outer candy wrapper and putting the candy into her mouth.

The smooth and sweet taste melts on the tongue immediately, and the rich and natural fruity aroma lingers between the lips and teeth. The texture is soft, sweet, and not cloying.

A warm breath flowed slowly down her throat, so comfortable that Lin Chunuan couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, her whole face filled with satisfaction.

Seeing her blissful expression, Shen Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly thanking Chu Cihan for this "lifesaver".

But looking at Lin Chunuan's blissful expression, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: Could there be something added to this candy?

Why does that expression look like he's high?

They chatted and laughed all the way home and made it home safely.

It rained heavily several times during the day, and the air was still damp.

Xu Muwan helplessly brought up a troubling matter: the single bed and matching bedding that she had specially ordered for Shen Ye were all ruined by rainwater because the storage warehouse was leaking. The furniture store had expedited the remaking, but because it was a custom-made item, the production time was relatively long, and it would take at least two days to deliver it to her door.

This means that for the next two days, Shen Ye will still have to share a bed with Lin Chunuan.

Thinking of this, Shen Ye couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety, and even a slight worry for his own safety.

The image of being nearly suffocated by Lin Chunuan, who was fast asleep, using both her hands and feet to entangle me this morning is still vivid in my mind. Tonight, being in the same room with her again, I can't help but feel a little uneasy.

As night fell, the family sat around the table enjoying dinner. The aroma of the food filled the air. Just as Shen Ye was quietly eating, a familiar mechanical system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[Ding! A new task has been issued by the system!]

Shen Ye subconsciously stopped eating and mentally checked the task details. After reading the contents, he immediately looked troubled.

[Task objective: Get Lin Chunuan to call the host "brother" willingly and from the bottom of her heart. Force or coercion is strictly prohibited.]

[Task Reward: 1-5 Beauty Points, with tiered rewards based on task completion speed.]

How did Lin Chunuan, who is always arrogant and always at odds with him, take the initiative to call him "brother"?

Shen Ye lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

In his view, the difficulty of this task was no less than that of getting the sharp-tongued Chu Cihan to admit his mistake.

Last time, Chu Cihan completed the mission only because of a special opportunity when he was emotionally broken down, but it is clear that there will be no such coincidence when facing Lin Chunuan.

"What's wrong, Xiaoye? Is it because you don't like the food Auntie made?" Xu Muwan noticed his absent-mindedness and asked with concern.

Shen Ye immediately snapped out of her reverie and replied with a smile, "No, Auntie, the food was just so delicious that I was a little lost in thought."

"You're such a smooth talker, kid." Xu Muwan smiled, amused.

After dinner, Shen Ye was still pondering a breakthrough for the mission. After showering, the warm steam filled the bathroom, casting a thin layer of white mist over the full-length mirror. He ran his fingers across the mirror, leaving a few random streaks of water, but his inner turmoil remained undiminished.

Lin Chunuan has always harbored resentment towards me, so getting her to willingly call me "brother" is just too difficult.

After drying his hair and changing into dry pajamas, Shen Ye, filled with conflicting emotions, pushed open Lin Chunuan's bedroom door.

"Brother~"

A sweet, soft voice came from inside.

"Mmm," Shen Ye responded subconsciously.

The moment he finished speaking, the system notification sounded in his mind again, so fast that it caught him off guard.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for perfectly completing the current task! 5 Beauty Points have been automatically deposited into your account!]

[Current host's appearance: 100 (max level), system stored appearance points: 14]

???

Shen Ye froze on the spot, his face filled with astonishment, his brain unable to process what was happening for a moment.

This... this is the mission accomplished?

He suddenly looked up at Lin Chunuan on the bed, even subconsciously wondering if he had entered the wrong room.

Lin Chunuan was wearing a soft white nightgown and sitting obediently cross-legged in the center of the pink bed.

A pair of small, fair hands nervously clutched the hem of her nightgown, her large, dark eyes were slightly lowered, and her expression was shy and timid, completely different from the fierce little girl she was during the day.

"What are you doing?" Shen Ye stood at the door, his feet rooted to the spot, feeling uncomfortable even moving.

"Brother, come here for a second~" Lin Chunuan looked up and gently waved to him, her voice soft and sweet.

Shen Ye panicked completely, stammering, "I...I..."

Lin Chunuan's obedient and sweet appearance at this moment is extremely attractive.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Ye stiffly took a step and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

"What happened?"

"Well..." Lin Chunuan blinked her big eyes and asked cautiously, "Do you still have the candy you gave me today? I want some more."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down. It turned out it was all about the candy; he had been overthinking things.

"That's all, that's all I have left," he said truthfully.

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, Lin Chunuan lowered her head, her face filled with deep disappointment.

Seeing the little guy's disappointed look, Shen Ye felt a little sorry for him.

This was the first time Lin Chunuan had willingly called him "brother," and he couldn't bear to spoil her mood.

He reached out and gently stroked Lin Chunuan's head, as if soothing a playful kitten.

"Don't be sad. If you like it, I'll take you to buy it another day."

"Really?" Lin Chunuan's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up in surprise. But then she quickly remembered something and whispered a reminder, "But that candy is really expensive. Mom said a small box costs several thousand."

several thousand?

Shen Ye was secretly startled.

Is this candy inlaid with gold or silver?

It seems that Chu Cihan is indeed a wealthy woman, with a much richer background than I imagined.

But then I thought about it again, and there was also the 100,000 yuan in cash reward from the system tasks, and several thousand yuan worth of candy, which I could totally afford.

"It's okay, your brother has money. I'll take you to choose some when I have time."

"That's great! Brother, you're the best person in the world!" Lin Chunuan was overjoyed and rushed over to hug Shen Ye's arm tightly.
