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

"It's almost eight o'clock, let's go back." Shen Ye raised his hand and glanced at the time. There were only a dozen minutes left before the scheduled return time.

"Okay." Chu Cihan hadn't had enough fun yet. She held a half-eaten candied hawthorn in her left hand and a spicy squid tentacles in her right.

Won't these two things taste mixed together?

Shen Ye couldn't understand what she was thinking.

"Sigh~" Chu Cihan suddenly sighed, "I don't really want to eat this candied hawthorn anymore."

"Then just throw it away."

"That's a bit wasteful."

Shen Ye almost burst out laughing.

You're the one who wastes the most food all the time, how dare you say such a thing now?

"Sigh, if only someone could eat it for me." Chu Cihan looked at Shen Ye with sparkling eyes.

"Don't look at me, I'm not a trash can."

"Tch, I never said you could eat it, don't flatter yourself."

On their way back to the hotel, the two encountered many students from No. 1 Middle School, all of whom were rushing back.

Some walked in twos and threes, while others walked briskly alone, all afraid of exceeding the stipulated return time.

When Shen Ye and his group arrived, a number of students had already gathered in the hotel lobby, standing in twos and threes, waiting to assemble.

"Oh no!" Chu Cihan suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"The teacher said that we must wear school uniforms when we gather in the hall for the headcount."

"I left my school uniform in my hotel room and forgot to take it when I left."

"What should we do then?"

"I'll go upstairs and get it," Chu Cihan said. "You wait for me here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she shoved half a candied hawthorn into Shen Ye's hand.

"Please help me resolve this."

"Wait..." Before Shen Ye could finish speaking, Chu Cihan had already turned around and entered the elevator.

Shen Ye stood still, looking down at the candied hawthorn in his hand.

The red hawthorn berries, coated in a glistening sugar glaze, gleamed enticingly under the light.

Half of the candied hawthorn berries had been eaten, leaving only three berries still on the bamboo skewer.

Shen Ye was speechless.

Just because you want to change your clothes doesn't mean I don't.

Moreover, this was something Chu Cihan had eaten...

Is it still covered in her saliva?

Just find a trash can and throw it away.

He turned and looked around, trying to find a trash can. There was one by the wall, but it was a bit far from him.

Shen Ye was about to walk over.

"Brother!" A sweet voice came from behind him.

Shen Ye stopped and turned around.

Lin Chunuan was standing behind him, her hands behind her back, smiling at him.

She was wearing a white dress with a school uniform jacket over it, and her long hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked fresh and cute.

The girl's smile was radiant, her eyes curved into crescent shapes, and a playful smile played on her lips.

"Warm and cozy?"

"Brother, where did you go to play?" she asked, her tone curious.

Shen Ye was stunned.

What should he say?

She said she and Chu Cihan went to the mall to buy stockings?

That would be equivalent to confessing to lying to Nuan Nuan, wouldn't I get beaten to death by Nuan Nuan?

"The pedestrian street," he said. "I just strolled around."

This isn't exactly a lie, since he did go to the pedestrian street.

Lin Chunuan nodded after listening.

Brother, you lied to me again...

This is the second time today...

"Oh—" Her tone was flat, showing no sign of anything unusual.

Her gaze then fell on the candied hawthorn in Shen Ye's hand.

"Brother, what's that?" she pointed.

"Candied hawthorn".

"Of course I know they're candied hawthorns! I was asking if my brother bought them?"

"Hmm..." Shen Ye paused, "I guess so."

"Doesn't my brother dislike candied hawthorns?"

"Well......"

I almost forgot about that.

"It's been too long since I've had this. I bought a skewer to try, but it's definitely not to my liking," Shen Ye said, shaking the candied hawthorn in his hand with a look of disgust.

As he spoke, he was about to throw the candied hawthorn into the trash can next to him.

"Hey hey hey—" Lin Chunuan quickly reached out to stop her.

"My brother doesn't like it, but I do!"

She snatched the candied hawthorn from Shen Ye's hand and took a bite without waiting.

"Crunch—" The sound of sugar coating being bitten off echoed in the night.

Lin Chunu chewed it, and her eyes lit up.

"Mmm~ Delicious!"

Sweet and sour.

The sweetness of the sugar coating and the sourness of the hawthorn blend together, bursting on the tip of the tongue.

but......

Lin Chunuan frowned.

Why does it smell like barbecue?

She tasted it carefully and found that the candied hawthorn did indeed have a slight spicy flavor.

It tastes like cumin and chili powder.

It must have been that my brother ate barbecue and then this candied hawthorn.

That's why candied hawthorns have a barbecue flavor on them.

Thinking this through, Lin Chunuan put her suspicions aside.

She continued eating the candied hawthorn, her cheeks puffing out, clearly enjoying herself.

Shen Ye's lips twitched.

Warm and cozy...

Do you know that Chu Cihan ate this candied hawthorn skewer...?

It was covered in her saliva and her teeth marks...

What you're doing is equivalent to.....

After finishing one hawthorn fruit, Lin Chunuan took a bite of a second one.

She ate with great satisfaction, a little sugar coating still clinging to the corner of her mouth, glistening under the light.

"Brother, aren't you going to eat it? It's very sweet."

"I won't eat it." Shen Ye shook his head.

"Alright then, I'll eat it for my brother."

Perhaps because her brother had already eaten it, Lin Chunuan ate it very quickly.

After eating the last hawthorn fruit, I threw the bamboo skewer into the trash can.

She licked her lips and smiled contentedly, "Thank you for the candied hawthorn, brother!"

"......You're welcome."

Noticing his strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, Lin Chunu asked疑惑地问道, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, you go to the assembly first, I'm going back to my room to change my clothes." Shen Ye waved his hand and turned to run towards the elevator.

If Nuannuan found out she ate Chu Cihan's leftovers, she'd probably explode...
