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

Lin Chunuan discovered that she had developed a strange dependence on being sick.

To be precise, she became addicted to the days when her brother took care of her when she was sick.

Lying in bed, she didn't have to worry about anything; everything would be arranged perfectly for her.

When she was hungry, her brother would bring her hot food; when she was thirsty, her cup was always filled with lukewarm water; when she was cold, someone would tuck her in; when she was bored, her brother would sit by her bed and talk to her.

It feels so wonderful to be cherished like this.

So when Lin Chunuan woke up the next morning and found that her fever had completely subsided and she was full of energy, her first reaction was not happiness, but rather—

It’s over.

She lay on the bed pretending nothing was wrong, squinting as she secretly observed the situation in the room.

Shen Ye was standing by the window, drawing back the curtains to let the morning light stream in.

He turned his head and glanced at her.

"woke up?"

Lin Chunuan hummed in agreement, then turned over and buried her face in the pillow.

She was wondering whether she should continue pretending to be asleep.

Or should I pretend I'm still dizzy?

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Last night, her temperature had completely returned to normal.

If I keep pretending, I won't be able to fool my brother.

"Get up and wash up," Shen Ye said. "After breakfast, I'll help you renew your leave slip."

Lin Chunuan paused for a moment. "Do I need to ask for leave again?"

"Hmm." Shen Ye nodded. "If you've just recovered from an illness, it's best to rest for another day and observe to prevent a relapse."

Lin Chunuan's eyes lit up immediately.

I need to rest for another day!

She almost burst out laughing.

So, she can enjoy being taken care of for one more day!

Lin Chunuan tried to suppress the smile on her lips and sat up as if nothing had happened.

"Okay..." she said, her tone somewhat reluctant, "Then let's rest for another day."

Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw her "reluctant" look.

He knew what his sister was thinking.

This guy is definitely secretly pleased.

But he didn't expose her; he just shook his head, turned, and left the room.

Lin Chunuan had an exceptionally pleasant day.

She stayed in bed until noon before getting up, ate the lunch Shen Ye made, and then spent the whole afternoon watching TV dramas on the sofa.

Shen Ye stayed with her the whole time, occasionally going out to get her a glass of water or some snacks.

The more Lin Chunuan thought about it, the more she felt that this kind of life was simply too perfect.

If only things could stay like this forever...

But beautiful times are always fleeting. In the evening, Shen Ye walked into the living room with a thermometer in his hand.

"Measure it," he said.

Lin Chunuan obediently opened her mouth and put the thermometer in her mouth. A few minutes later, Shen Ye took out the thermometer and looked at the number on it.

"Thirty-six and a half degrees," he announced. "Completely normal."

Lin Chunuan's heart sank. It's over.

"So... do I have to go to school tomorrow?" she asked cautiously.

Shen Ye nodded. "Mm."

Lin Chunuan's face instantly fell. "But..."

"But what?"

"I..." Lin Chunuan bit her lip, "I still feel a little dizzy..."

Looking at her blatant attempt to cover it up, Shen Ye suppressed a laugh and asked, "Really dizzy?"

"Really..." Lin Chunuan nodded, "I even sway a little when I stand up..."

"Alright," Shen Ye said, "Stand up and let me see."

Lin Chunuan: "......."

She didn't know whether to stand or not.

In the end, he could only shut his mouth in frustration.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Shen Ye reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Alright, stop pretending," he said. "It's a good thing you're better, why are you so reluctant?"

Lin Chunuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Shen Ye sighed.

"I've already taken a day off from school. If I don't go back soon, I'll fall behind in my studies."

"I will study at home..." Lin Chunuan muttered softly.

"Studying at home?" Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?"

Lin Chunuan remained silent.

She was certainly unsure.

At home, she would definitely be unable to resist playing on her phone, watching TV, or spacing out, and wouldn't be able to concentrate on studying at all.

"Then it's settled." Shen Ye stood up. "I'll wake you up at seven tomorrow morning so you can get ready for school."

Lin Chunu watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with reluctance: "Brother..."

Shen Ye stopped and turned to look at her: "What?"

"I..." Lin Chunu hesitated for a moment, then mustered her courage and said, "Could I...sleep with you tonight?"

Shen Ye was stunned, then frowned: "No."

"Why?" Lin Chunuan protested. "I'm afraid to sleep alone..."

"When have you ever been afraid to sleep alone?" Shen Ye countered. "Didn't you used to sleep quite well?"

"That's because..." Lin Chunu stammered, "...that's because..."

"Why?"

"Because... when I'm sick, sleeping while holding my brother helps me recover faster..." Lin Chunuan's voice grew softer and softer.

Shen Ye's lips twitched after hearing this: "You can actually make up such a reason?"

"It's true!" Lin Chunuan said earnestly, "It really will help you recover faster!"

Her serious demeanor almost convinced Shen Ye.

"Alright, stop fooling around," he said. "Go back to your room and sleep."

"elder brother--"

"No—no—" Shen Ye's tone left no room for negotiation.

Lin Chunuan could only pout and return to her room dejectedly.

Lying in bed, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

My mind is filled with images of my brother taking care of me these past two days.

With each detail she recalled, her heart skipped a beat.

Her brother is so wonderful... If she could, she really wished she could stay sick forever.

Even if it means taking bitter medicine, getting injections, or feeling unwell... it's all worth it as long as my brother takes care of me like this.

Lin Chunuan rolled over and buried her face in the pillow. Brother…

I really love my brother.

After lying down for a while, she remembered something else and opened her phone to search online:

Is it okay to use my hand after recovering from an illness...?

The next morning, Shen Ye knocked on Lin Chunuan's door right on time.

"Get up."

Lin Chunuan lay on the bed, not wanting to move.

"Just five more minutes of sleep..."

"No way." Shen Ye pushed the door open and came in. "It's already 6:30. If we don't get up now, we'll be late."

Lin Chunuan had no choice but to reluctantly get up.

Washing up, changing clothes, eating breakfast... everything happened so quickly that Lin Chunuan felt a little uncomfortable.

Before she could react, Shen Ye had already pulled her out of the room.

Did you bring your water bottle?

"I brought it..."

"Where's the homework?"

"In my schoolbag..."

"Cold medicine?"

"I brought it, I brought it..."

After confirming everything, Shen Ye felt relieved and led her towards the school.
