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

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Shen Ye and Lin Chunu walked side by side on their way home.

The night was deep, and the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on the asphalt road, casting long shadows of the two people that overlapped on the ground.

Shen Ye wore a white woolen hat that gleamed softly under the light, unexpectedly complementing his outfit today.

The hat has a small pom-pom on top, making it both warm and cute.

Lin Chunuan walked beside him, her small hands tucked into the pockets of her down jacket, her head tilting to the left every now and then, her gaze repeatedly falling on the hat on his head.

The more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

This hat... she doesn't think she's ever seen it before.

My brother usually wears dark-colored hats, such as black, gray, and navy blue; he would never choose such a girly style.

"Brother." Lin Chunuan looked up, her voice soft and sweet.

"Um?"

"Where did you get this hat?"

Shen Ye glanced down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I found it."

Lin Chunuan paused for a moment.

You found it?

She doesn't believe it.

With so many people coming and going on the road, how could he possibly have picked up such a clean hat?

Moreover, the hat is clearly a women's style, fluffy and with a slightly playful curve.

When did my brother start wearing girls' hats?

Lin Chunuan narrowed her eyes, a bittersweet feeling spreading through her heart.

She secretly observed her brother's expression.

The older brother had a faint smile on his face, as if he had thought of something happy, and the light in his eyes was so bright that it was hard to look away.

Lin Chunuan felt even worse.

Could this hat have been a gift from some girl?

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

With my brother being so popular, it's perfectly normal for girls to fawn over him every day, showering him with gifts like hats.

"Oh—" Lin Chunuan replied in a drawn-out tone, her voice carrying a subtle meaning.

Shen Ye chuckled inwardly upon hearing her "Oh."

This girl is definitely thinking about some random, nonsensical things.

But he didn't explain and continued walking forward.

Lin Chunu followed behind him, her eyes fixed on the hat.

She suddenly quickened her pace and ran ahead of Shen Ye.

"elder brother!"

"what?"

She jumped up suddenly, reached out her little hand, and snatched the hat off Shen Ye's head.

Shen Ye: "..."

He instinctively reached out to protect it, but Lin Chunuan's movements were too fast. Before he could react, the hat was already in her hand.

"What are you doing?" Shen Ye asked.

Lin Chunuan didn't answer, but instead brought the hat to her nose and smelled it carefully.

A faint fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

It smells nice, but it doesn't smell like the shampoo my brother usually uses.

This light, fresh floral scent smells like a girl's fragrance, like some unknown flower, sweet and slightly refreshing.

Lin Chunuan's eyelashes trembled.

really.

This hat belongs to a girl.

Moreover, the fragrance on it is quite noticeable, which means that the person wearing it wears it often, or... this is something she wore recently.

Several names flashed through Lin Chunuan's mind.

Ultimately, they settled on Mu Jingyan.

She had seen that woman wearing a white hat before.

Moreover, Mu Jingyan and her brother are deskmates and have the most contact with each other...

"Nuan Nuan," Shen Ye's voice came from above, tinged with a hint of helplessness, "What are you doing?"

Lin Chunuan raised her head and looked at him expressionlessly.

She handed him the hat as if nothing had happened.

"Here you go."

Shen Ye took the hat and put it back on his head. "What were you doing just now?"

"It's nothing," Lin Chunuan said casually. "I just wanted to see what the hat my brother found looked like."

After she finished speaking, she put her hands behind her back, lowered her head, and continued walking forward, seemingly lost in thought.

Shen Ye followed behind her, looking at her slightly lonely figure, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

After taking a few steps, Lin Chunuan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Shen Ye.

Her expression had returned to its usual docile state, her eyes sparkling, as if the little tantrum from before had never existed.

"Brother, let's play the log bridge game!"

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Lin Chunuan jumped onto the curb next to her, spreading her arms out as if she were walking on a balance beam.

"This is it!" She turned to look at Shen Ye, "You hold my hand down there."

Shen Ye frowned: "Why don't you just play by yourself?"

"No way!" Lin Chunu pouted. "I'll fall!"

"You won't die from falling."

"But I might twist my ankle—" Lin Chunuan drawled out in a coquettish tone, "Brother, can you hold my hand down here, okay?"

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Shen Ye sighed and said, "Fine."

Lin Chunuan's eyes lit up immediately.

"Brother is the best!" She stood up again, spread her arms, and slowly walked forward along the curb as if she were walking on a log bridge.

Shen Ye reached out his hand, ready to catch her at any moment.

Be careful.

"Okay." Lin Chunuan's voice was filled with laughter.

She walked step by step, her steps light and graceful, as if she were performing an acrobatic act.

Lin Chunuan walked for a while, then suddenly stopped.

"Brother, are you holding on tight?"

"Um."

"Then I'll speed things up!" she said, quickening her pace and jogging along the curb.

Shen Ye quickly followed.

"Slow down, don't fall."

"No way!" Lin Chunuan's voice was filled with joy. She walked faster and faster, her steps becoming lighter and lighter.

Shen Ye followed her rhythm, one hand ready to catch her at any moment.

Suddenly—Lin Chunuan's body swayed, and she fell backward in an extremely awkward posture.

The pose was so exaggerated, it looked like a mistake during acrobatic performance.

Shen Ye was prepared and reached out to catch her, and Lin Chunuan fell into his arms.

"Ah—" she exclaimed softly, instinctively wrapping her arms around Shen Ye's neck.

Shen Ye looked down at her, his lips twitching slightly. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Lin Chunu looked up at him, blinking her eyes.

"What do you mean, intentionally? My legs went weak."

"Your legs are weak?"

"Yes—" Lin Chunuan said softly, "I got tired from walking on the log bridge, my legs felt weak, and I couldn't stand steadily."

Looking at her coquettish manner, Shen Ye seriously suspected that she was faking it.

But he had no evidence.

"Then you go by yourself," he said.

Lin Chunuan clung to his neck, refusing to let go. "No—"

"Warm and cozy."

"I really can't walk anymore—" she said sweetly, "Can you carry me back, brother?"

"You can walk by yourself."

"I'd rather walk than walk," Lin Chunu muttered, burying her face in his chest. "I want my brother to hold me."

Shen Ye looked at her helplessly.

This girl is clearly cheating.

But he couldn't do anything about her.

"Alright, alright." He bent down, put one arm around her waist, and supported her knees with the other, then picked her up.

Lin Chunuan instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, a secret smile playing on her lips. "Thank you, brother~"

Shen Ye carried her towards home, saying as they walked, "Don't play such pointless games next time."

"It's not boring at all..." Lin Chunuan pressed her face against his chest, "It's a lot of fun."

Back home, the two ate dinner, took showers, and then went to their rooms to do their homework.

Shen Ye sat at his desk, opened his physics textbook, and began to do the exercises assigned for today.

The homework is simple for him, but there's a lot of it. He estimates it will take him an hour to finish it all.

Around 11 o'clock.

Shen Ye turned off the desk lamp and was about to lie down to sleep.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Shen Ye looked up and saw Lin Chunuan standing at the door, wearing a pink nightgown, with a homework book tucked between her arms, and looking embarrassed.

"Brother..." she whispered, "I don't know how to do this problem, can you teach me?"

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then sat up: "Which question?"

Lin Chunuan walked into the room and placed the homework on his desk.

"This question," she pointed to, "I've been thinking about it for a long time but still can't figure it out."

Shen Ye looked at the question; it was a math problem.

He picked up a pen and began explaining to her on the draft paper.

"This question needs to be answered first..."

Lin Chunuan stood beside him, listening obediently and nodding from time to time.

Her pajamas were loose, with the cuffs hanging down slightly, revealing her fair forearms.

Her long hair was loose over her shoulders, still damp from a recent shower.

The room was quiet, with only Shen Ye's voice explaining and the scratching of a pen on paper.

Ten minutes later.

"Do you understand?" Shen Ye put down his pen.

"Understood!" Lin Chunuan nodded. "Thank you, brother!" She picked up her homework and waved to Shen Ye. "Goodnight, brother!" After saying that, she turned and left the room.

Shen Ye watched her departing figure, somewhat surprised.

Why is this girl being so well-behaved today?

He finished explaining the problem and left, instead of lingering for a little while?

He shook his head, turned off the lamp, and lay back down on the bed.

Shen Ye closed his eyes and gradually drifted off to sleep.

What he didn't notice was...

The door to the room was not closed.

When Lin Chunuan left, she secretly left a small crack.

In the darkness, a soft footstep could be heard outside the door.

Their footsteps seemed to stop right at the door.

Then, all fell silent.
