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

Chapter 122 My brother lied to me!

Shen Ye pushed open the door and walked into the villa.

The television in the living room was still on, the variety show on the screen was nearing its end, and the host's voice echoed in the empty living room.

He changed his shoes and walked into the living room. Just as he was about to call out to someone, he found that Lin Chunuan was already asleep.

Lin Chunuan lay on the large sofa, her body curled up in a ball, her breathing even and steady.

Her long hair was spread out on the sofa, gleaming softly in the light of the television.

She was clutching a white short-sleeved shirt tightly in her arms, as if afraid it would be snatched away.

Shen Ye watched this scene with a strange expression.

That short-sleeved shirt... isn't that his?

He took a few steps closer and looked down at Lin Chunuan.

Her sleeping face was peaceful, with her eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyelids and her lips slightly pursed, making her look very well-behaved.

But Shen Ye felt that something was not right.

Why did she sleep while hugging his clothes?

He gently shook Lin Chunuan's shoulder, "Chunuan, wake up."

Lin Chunuan's eyelashes trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were still somewhat unfocused, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.

But when she realized that the person in front of her was Shen Ye, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother!" She threw herself into Shen Ye's arms.

Shen Ye stumbled slightly from her tackle and instinctively reached out to steady her.

"You're back!" Lin Chunuan's voice was filled with surprise. "Why are you back so late?"

"What did you talk about with your teacher? And why did it take so long?"

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment.

He hadn't expected Lin Chunuan to ask such detailed questions.

"It's just...some academic stuff," he said casually. "The teacher is quite concerned about my grades, so we talked for a while."

Lin Chunuan didn't say anything, but simply buried her face in Shen Ye's arms.

Her breathing was light, but Shen Ye could feel that her body was somewhat tense.

"Really...?" Her voice was muffled. "The teacher is so long-winded."

Shen Ye smiled and said, "The teacher is only doing this for my own good."

Lin Chunuan didn't answer, but buried her face even deeper into his chest.

She twitched her nose slightly and took a deep breath.

The smell on my brother...

A faint scent of soap, his unique aroma...

and many more!

Her movements stopped.

She sensed something was off about her brother's scent.

It was a very faint fragrance, unlike the smell of shower gel or laundry detergent.

That is......

The scent of a woman's perfume.

Lin Chunuan's pupils contracted instantly.

She was very familiar with this taste.

This is the perfume that Chu Ci Han used.

She had smelled this scent on Chu Cihan before.

It has a faint, refreshing floral scent.

Why does my brother smell like Chu Cihan's perfume?

Her heart suddenly started racing.

Not right.

It's not right.

My brother said he went to chat with the teacher.

But the teacher in Class 1 is a man, so why would he use perfume?

And it's the perfume that Chu Ci Han used?

A terrible thought surfaced in her mind.

Her brother lied to her.

My brother wasn't chatting with the teacher at all.

My brother went to see Chu Cihan.

This discovery was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Lin Chunuan.

My brother lied to me.

My brother lied to me; he was actually meeting up with another girl!

Her hands gripped Shen Ye's clothes tightly, turning white from the force.

A storm raged within her, a mix of emotions swirling within her.

Anger, resentment, discontent, and more...

An inexplicable fear.

Why did her brother lie to her?

Why not just tell her the truth?

Is it because you're afraid she'll get angry?

Or is it because... Chu Cihan is more important to him than she is?

Her breathing became rapid, and her heartbeat quickened.

But she tried her best to control her emotions and not let Shen Ye notice her abnormality.

"Nuan Nuan?" Shen Ye sensed that her body was a little stiff. "What's wrong?"

Lin Chunuan looked up at him.

Her eyes were calm, revealing nothing unusual.

"It's nothing," she shook her head, "I'm just a little sleepy."

Shen Ye looked at her, seemingly a little worried.

"Are you really okay?"

"Really." Lin Chunu forced a smile. "Brother, don't worry."

Shen Ye nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

His gaze fell on the short-sleeved shirt in Lin Chunuan's arms.

"By the way, Nuannuan," he asked, "why are you holding my clothes?"

Lin Chunuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the clothes in her arms.

She then realized that she had been holding Shen Ye's clothes the whole time.

"Ah..." she hurriedly explained, "I saw that my brother's clothes were dry, so I brought them in and put them on the sofa, and then... then I accidentally fell asleep."

Her tone was somewhat flustered, as if she were trying to cover something up.

Shen Ye didn't think much of it and simply nodded.

"I see," he said. "Thank you, Nuannuan."

Lin Chunuan shook her head. "You're welcome, brother."

Her voice was soft and gentle, just like her usual self.

But only she knew that her mind was in complete turmoil.

"Alright, go to sleep," Shen Ye said. "It's already very late."

"Mm." Lin Chunuan nodded.

She stood up, put the short-sleeved shirt she was holding on the sofa, and then walked towards her room.

"Brother, you should get some rest too," she said.

"Okay." Shen Ye nodded.

Lin Chunuan went into the room and closed the door.
