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

"Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Shen Ye stopped beside Lin Chunuan's desk, looking at the little girl squatting in front of the desk and rummaging through it, his tone filled with doubt.

The school bell had long since rung, and most of the students had left the classroom. The noise gradually subsided, and the whole classroom became quiet.

It was already past school dismissal time, and most students had left the campus with their parents, but Lin Chunuan was the only one who hadn't left yet.

"Brother, wait for me! I can't find my pencil case." Lin Chunuan squatted on the ground, her little head almost sticking into the narrow table. She stretched her two short arms out and rummaged through the pile of clutter, but after a long time, she still couldn't find it.

"Okay." Shen Ye replied, casually pulled over an empty desk next to him, sat down sideways, and waited patiently.

Several more students packed up their belongings and prepared to leave school. A female student passing by saw Shen Ye sitting in the classroom, smiled, and waved goodbye: "Shen Ye, goodbye!"

"Hmm." Shen Ye simply nodded slightly in response.

But this seemingly ordinary gesture seemed to the girl as a special recognition. She beamed with joy, ran lightly out of the classroom, and skipped and hopped down the stairs.

Time ticked by, and Lin Chunuan still hadn't found the item. Shen Ye asked again, "Still haven't found it?"

He frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled.

The desk has only so much space inside, and I searched it over and over again several times, but there's no reason why a small pencil case could remain missing.

"No..." Lin Chunuan raised her head, her face full of anxiety, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Let me take a look." Shen Ye jumped down from the desk and squatted down next to Lin Chunuan. Lin Chunuan obediently moved aside to make room for her.

Shen Ye glanced down into the underside of the table and was immediately stunned.

This little girl's desk was a complete mess. Books from all subjects were piled up haphazardly, with curled edges and misaligned pages. There were also many crumbs of snacks scattered underneath, making it look like a chaotic mess.

Shen Ye, who already had a slight case of mysophobia, felt extremely uncomfortable upon seeing this scene.

"Remember to clean the underside of the table and pay attention to hygiene next time," he reminded calmly.

Lin Chunuan noticed the faint disdain in his eyes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she turned her head away shyly, not daring to meet his gaze again.

Without further ado, Shen Ye simply reached under the table and pulled everything out, spreading it all out on the tabletop.

Textbooks, workbooks, cartoon stickers, and empty snack wrappers piled up on the table, a dazzling array. He examined them one by one, his eyes sweeping over each item, looking them over from beginning to end. There were plenty of snack wrappers, but the pencil case was nowhere to be seen.

"Are you sure you've kept your pencil case in your desk all day and haven't taken it out?" Shen Ye turned to look at Lin Chunuan, unable to help but feel a little suspicious.

Lin Chunuan's carefree and forgetful nature might mean she simply put it somewhere else and completely forgot about it the moment she turned around.

"I'm sure! Nuan Nuan didn't take her pencil case out of the classroom even once today!" The little girl, now suspected, immediately became anxious, puffing out her cheeks to earnestly defend herself, afraid that her brother wouldn't believe her.

Seeing this, Shen Ye had no choice but to lower his head again, reach out and fiddle with the books on the table, intending to check them carefully once more.

Just as he turned the pages of his math textbook, a folded piece of paper slid down the pages and fluttered to the ground.

He bent down and picked up the note. The handwriting on it was crooked and the strokes were so messy that it took him a while to make it barely legible.

"Want a pencil case? See you in the woods after school!"

Shen Ye read the contents aloud slowly and deliberately, his eyes filled with surprise.

What kind of mess is this?

Could it be a challenge to a fight?

He shook his head inwardly, feeling a bit amused and bewildered.

What era are we living in? Using this old-fashioned method of passing notes to make agreements is just too outdated.

This is what his parents' generation did.

Moreover, the one who lost the item was a young girl named Lin Chunuan, and it had nothing to do with fighting.

Just as Shen Ye was pondering to himself, Lin Chunuan quickly snatched the note from his hand.

The gloomy look she had just had about losing her pencil case vanished instantly, her big eyes brightened, and her face was full of curiosity and excitement.

"Wow! Is this the threatening letter they show on TV?" She held the note, looking at it from left to right, feeling very excited.

"I've only ever seen things like this in cartoons and TV dramas before!" Lin Chunuan reached out her little hand, gently tugging at Shen Ye's clothes, her face upturned with expectant eyes as she pleaded, "Brother, will you come with me? I want to see who it is!"

Shen Ye looked at his sister's enthusiastic expression and pondered silently for a moment.

Regardless of the other party's purpose, since they lured someone to a secluded grove in this way, it's hard to guarantee they don't have malicious intentions.

Unlike herself, Lin Chunuan had never been deceived by a malicious relative and had no sense of caution. If she were to encounter someone deliberately causing trouble, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As her older brother, I naturally couldn't let her go alone; it was necessary for me to step in and resolve the matter.

"Okay, let's go take a look." He finally nodded in agreement.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Ye raised his hand and operated the smart watch on his wrist to send a text message to Xu Muwan, lying that the two of them would stay in the classroom to clean and would go out later so as not to worry their families.

"Great! Nuannuan, lead the way!" Lin Chunuan cheered and excitedly strode ahead, eagerly heading towards the grove behind the campus.

......

In the grove deep within the campus, the trees intertwined their branches and leaves, and sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting dappled shadows. The surroundings were exceptionally quiet.

At this moment, Lin Chunuan's lost pencil case was placed on a rock to the side, and three small figures were waiting there.

The chubby Wang Jiahao sat cross-legged on the ground, striking a pose as if he were meditating with his eyes closed, pretending to be profound.

Standing beside him were two followers: a round-faced, chubby-cheeked little boy and a thin, bespectacled boy.

The chubby-faced boy stared at his boss, and after a long pause, he couldn't help but ask first, "Boss, didn't you say you were going to teach the new transfer student Shen Ye a lesson? Why did you take Lin Chunu's pencil case instead?"

"Yeah, boss." The skinny boy with glasses chimed in, a conflicted look on his face. "If we go after Lin Chunuan, it seems a bit unethical, doesn't it? If other people of different ages find out, they'll look down on us."

"Hmph, what do you two know?" Wang Jiahao slowly opened his eyes, stood up from the ground, a shrewd smile curling at the corner of his mouth. He deliberately put on a serious face and put on a profound look, then snorted disdainfully.

"Shen Ye is Lin Chunuan's older brother. If his sister's things are taken, he definitely won't sit idly by. He will come with Lin Chunuan."

At this point, a smug gleam appeared in Wang Jiahao's eyes, and his mind was racing with calculations.

"Once they both arrive, I'll take Shen Ye down in front of Lin Chunuan, fair and square! Then Lin Chunuan will witness my power firsthand and be captivated by my strength!"

Just imagining Lin Chunuan twirling around him and looking at him with new respect, Wang Jiahao couldn't help but chuckle mischievously, completely immersed in his wonderful fantasy, the more he thought about it, the more beautiful it seemed.

He then turned to his two henchmen and solemnly instructed them, "Wu Fan, Li Feng, when it's time to make your move, neither of you should interfere. Just stand by and watch. I can handle Shen Ye by myself."

Wang Jiahao was extremely confident in his chubby strength and size.

In his opinion, although Shen Ye looked tall, he was thin and had little muscle, so he was not very durable.

Taking advantage of his size, he could easily suppress his opponent and win this "duel" with ease.
