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

It takes about 20 minutes to get to the high-speed rail station.

Shen Ye remained seated by the window, with Chu Cihan leaning on his shoulder.

Her breathing was light, and strands of her hair fell onto his collar, bringing with them a faint fragrance.

Mu Jingyan, sitting in the back seat, was playing with her phone with her head down, occasionally glancing up at the situation in front of her before looking down again.

The bus was parked in the parking lot of the high-speed rail station.

"We've arrived, everyone get off the bus!" the tour guide shouted, standing by the door and holding a microphone.

The students stood up, carrying their backpacks, and headed outside. Shen Ye stood up, and Chu Cihan also woke up.

She rubbed her eyes, still with sleep marks at the corners, and looked a little dazed.

"arrive?"

"We've arrived," Shen Ye replied.

The two followed the flow of people off the bus and walked towards the entrance of the high-speed rail station.

When the train arrived, there were already quite a few students wearing the school uniform of No. 1 Middle School going through security at the high-speed rail station.

On a weekday Wednesday, the high-speed rail station wasn't too crowded, but with over a thousand students, it was almost packed.

The students lined up and went through security in groups.

The travelers looked at the high school students coming and going with surprise when they heard that they were on a study tour.

"High school students these days are so lucky..."

"We didn't have those kinds of conditions back then..."

Are schools all that generous these days?

Then, seeing the words "No. 1 Middle School" on the school uniform, I felt relieved.

Oh, it's No. 1 Middle School. That makes sense.

"Class One, 45 students expected, 45 students present!"

"Class Two, please be present..."

The tour guide's voice echoed in the waiting hall, orderly and clear.

Shen Ye stood in the crowd and yawned.

"Tired?" Mu Jingyan's voice came from the side.

Shen Ye turned to look at her.

She stood beside him, holding a thermos, and was drinking hot water with her head down.

Why does this guy drink hot water every day?

Do you have a cold constitution?

"A little." Shen Ye rubbed his eyes. "I went to bed late last night."

Mu Jingyan nodded, then took a small bag out of her schoolbag and handed it to him.

"Have something to eat."

Shen Ye looked down and saw that it was a few milk candies.

"For me?" he asked.

"Otherwise what?" Mu Jingyan said indifferently, "Seeing you starving in the car."

What kind of hunger can a few milk candies satisfy?

Shen Ye smiled and took it, peeled one open and put it in his mouth.

The next moment, an intense sour and astringent sensation explodes from the tip of the tongue.

Shen Ye's face instantly contorted.

It's not milk candy at all!

"You should be more sober now, right?" Mu Jingyan said with a smile.

"..."

"Thank you so much."

You're welcome~

--------

It's a little past nine o'clock.

Shen Ye boarded the high-speed train and found his seat.

He sat in the middle of a three-seater bench, with Mu Jingyan and Chu Cihan sitting on either side of him, their usual KFC seats.

Shen Ye originally wanted to sit by the window, but Chu Cihan took his seat by saying, "I want to see the scenery."

Shen Ye had no choice but to humiliatingly settle for second best and sit in the spot where the two of them presented him as a sandwich between two loaves of bread.

Fortunately, the two did not confront each other this time.

Chu Cihan turned his head to look out the car window, observing the bustling high-speed rail platform.

Mu Jingyan, meanwhile, was looking down at her phone, fiddling with it and sending messages to others.

"Who should we send it to?"

Mu Jingyan looked up and glanced at him. "Huanhuan."

"Their class was in the same carriage as ours."

"Then call Huanhuan over."

Mu Jingyan rolled her eyes: "Are you an idiot?"

"Putting aside the fact that teachers don't allow students to leave their seats, even if they did, the seats around them would be full."

She pointed to the seats around her. "Are you planning to let Huanhuan sit on your lap?"

Shen Ye stroked his chin thoughtfully and replied, "It's not impossible."

"..."

Mu Jingyan's temple twitched.

The next second, she reached out and pinched Shen Ye's thigh hard.

That bastard actually has feelings for Huanhuan!

......

The bus departed half an hour ago; it's 10:00 AM now.

Shen Ye was hungry.

He didn't eat breakfast, he just stuffed some snacks into his schoolbag.

But he ate all the snacks in class that morning.

There was still more than an hour before lunch was distributed.

A sixteen-year-old boy can't possibly eat that little bit all morning.

Just then, Mu Jingyan opened her white backpack and rummaged through it for a power bank.

Shen Ye's eyes glanced sideways in surprise.

That's... a chocolate bar?

On the top layer of Mu Jingyan's schoolbag lay several chocolate bars in red packaging.

Shen Ye instantly perked up.

He rubbed his hands together and moved closer to Mu Jingyan.

"Um..." Mu Jingyan noticed his movement, cautiously zipped up her backpack, and hugged the whole bag to her chest.

"What do you want to do?" The girl's tone was completely undisguisedly wary.

"Nothing much..." Shen Ye chuckled, his gaze still fixed on her backpack. "It's just...could you perhaps spare some food, Mu-tong?"

Mu Jingyan gave a cold laugh upon hearing this: "I warned you about this back in school, did you listen?"

"Oh dear, it was my fault. I shouldn't have disobeyed you," Shen Ye repeatedly admitted his mistake.

If you want food, you have to do what the other party asks for.

Mu Jingyan looked at him, a hint of mockery on her face, and said, "Now you know you're hungry?"

"I know, I know, I really know..." Shen Ye nodded.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Mu Jingyan's lips curled up slightly: "Will you listen to me from now on?"

"Listen, listen, listen! I absolutely must listen!"

"Hmph, that's more like it~"

Mu Jingyan pulled two chocolate bars out of her bag and tossed them to Shen Ye.

Her gaze then fell on Shen Ye's right shoulder.

Chu Cihan was leaning against there.

She fell asleep shortly after getting on the bus and has been sleeping ever since, showing no signs of waking up.

Her long hair fell over Shen Ye's shoulders, the strands swaying slightly in the air conditioning. Her cheeks were pressed against his sleeve, her breathing even and long.

Mu Jingyan watched this scene, a disdainful smile curving her lips.
