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

Mu Jingyan was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Shen Ye neither struggled nor shouted, she felt a little strange.

What is this guy doing?

Why is there no reaction at all?

She pulled her hat up a little, wanting to see what Shen Ye was up to.

Then she saw a scene that made her blush—Shen Ye had his eyes closed, his nostrils flaring slightly, and he was sniffing intently, looking completely intoxicated.

Clever as she is, she quickly figured out what was going on.

The hat... was worn by her.

So it will have her scent on it.

Shen Ye was smelling that scent.

Thinking of this, Mu Jingyan's face instantly turned red.

"Pervert!" she cursed, ripped off her hat, and threw it at Shen Ye's face.

Shen Ye was hit squarely by the hat, but he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he held the hat in his hands as if he had received a treasure.

He opened his eyes, looked at the white woolen hat in his hand, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"This hat... is it for me?" he asked.

Mu Jingyan glared at him angrily, "Fine, take it! I find it disgusting to wear it!"

She turned her head away, not wanting to see Shen Ye's smug, irritating smile.

Shen Ye's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this.

"Really for me?"

"nonsense!"

"Thank you!" Shen Ye said happily, then put the hat to his nose and took a deep sniff.

While smelling it, she exclaimed, "Wow, it smells so good!"

Mu Jingyan's face grew increasingly red as she listened to his words.

"You...you've gone too far!" She reached out to snatch the hat back, but Shen Ye was quick and snatched it away in an instant.

"Once it's given to me, it's mine," he said. "I can't go back on my word."

Mu Jingyan was so angry she wanted to hit someone. "Give it back to me!"

"don't want."

"Shen Ye!"

"I'm here."

Mu Jingyan was so angry that she couldn't speak, she could only glare at him, her face turning red.

Shen Ye couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like that.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry," he said. "I was just teasing you."

He put his hat on the table and then reached out to untie the scarf around his neck.

It was a black and white scarf, very long and soft.

Shen Ye handed the scarf to Mu Jingyan.

"I won't take your hat for nothing," he said. "How about I trade you my scarf?"

Mu Jingyan glanced at the scarf and swallowed.

The scarf looks very warm, and... it belongs to Shen Ye...

But she quickly suppressed the thought and said coldly, "I don't want what you've used."

After hearing this, Shen Ye snorted.

"Take it or leave it." He tossed the scarf across the intersection of their tables, then turned to start organizing his textbooks.

Mu Jingyan looked at the scarf, her feelings a mix of emotions.

She actually... really wanted it.

However, if she takes it directly, it will seem as if she cares a lot about it.

She wasn't going to let Shen Ye succeed.

So she pretended nothing was wrong and continued working on her problems.

But out of the corner of his eye, he would occasionally glance at the scarf.

The school bell rang.

Class teacher Wang Jianguo walked into the classroom and began his lesson. Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan both focused their attention on the class, temporarily putting the hat incident aside.

But the scarf still lay quietly at the intersection of the two tables.

......

A whole day has passed.

Shen Ye seemed to have forgotten about the scarf and didn't take it with him.

Mu Jingyan pretended not to see it and didn't mention it.

Until the end of evening self-study.

Shen Ye packed his things and stood up to leave. Mu Jingyan secretly glanced at him and noticed that he didn't seem inclined to take the scarf.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Isn't he going to take it?

Shen Ye walked to the door and glanced back at the classroom.

"I'm leaving," he said to Mu Jingyan.

"Hmm," Mu Jingyan responded faintly, without looking up.

Shen Ye smiled, as if he had expected everything, then turned and left the classroom.

Mu Jingyan sat in her seat, listening to his footsteps gradually fade into the distance.

She packed her things and prepared to leave.

But just then, she saw the scarf again. It was still lying in the same spot, motionless.

Mu Jingyan looked warily toward the door.

Shen Ye had already left, and no one around was watching her.

The other students in the classroom were also packing up their things, and no one noticed her.

She hesitated.

She really wanted that scarf.

However, reason told her she couldn't do that. That was Shen Ye's scarf, after all.

If she took it, wouldn't that mean she... cares about him?

No, no!

You must not let anyone see what you are thinking.

Mu Jingyan bit her lip, still struggling with her decision.

Take it or not?

This question kept popping into her mind.

Finally, she found an excuse.

"If I leave it in class, someone will steal it."

She thought, "Shen Ye is so forgetful, he'll definitely regret losing his scarf."

So... it's okay if I keep it for him, right?

Yes, that's it.

It was purely to keep it safe for him; there was no other intention.

With that in mind, Mu Jingyan no longer hesitated.

She quickly reached out, picked up the scarf, and stuffed it into her backpack.

They moved quickly, as if afraid of being discovered.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief after doing all that. She slung her backpack over her shoulder and headed for the door.

As she reached the classroom door, she glanced back at Shen Ye's seat.

The place was empty, with only a few textbooks and a pen remaining.

Mu Jingyan's lips curled into a slight smile before she turned and walked into the corridor.
