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

"I'm really good at flipping food in a wok."

Shen Ye said with a grin to Mu Jing beside him.

They were sitting in the waiting hall, waiting for their high-speed train back home.

Mu Jingyan was looking through her phone when she heard this and glanced at him.

"Yeah?"

His tone was indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether he believed it or not.

"Of course." Shen Ye patted his chest, looking confident. "Come to my house sometime, and I'll demonstrate it for you personally."

Of course, they were discussing cooking.

That lunch today was really hard to swallow.

The lunch on the last day of the study tour was, in Shen Ye's words, so bad that even a pig would shake its head in disapproval.

That restaurant, which claims to serve "famous Huaiyang cuisine," served sweet and sour pork ribs that were sickeningly sweet, stir-fried shrimp that were tough and dry, and even the simplest tomato and egg soup had a strange taste.

It was immediately identified as a pre-made dish.

Even after arriving at the high-speed rail station, Mu Jingyan was still muttering complaints about the meal.

"Then demonstrate for me."

Chu Cihan pursed his lips, crossed his arms, and looked indifferent.

The school uniform, bulging at the chest, was shaped into a beautiful curve by the tight fit.

"All talk and no action is useless."

Shen Ye glanced at her unconsciously.

I forgot to turn off auto-aim again.

"Sure, you two come together then, and I'll bounce you both at the same time."

Chu Cihan snorted and turned her face away.

"Who wants to go to your house?"

She glanced at him sideways, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"You lecherous devil, who knows what bad things you might be up to."

"Disgrace!"

Shen Ye cried out that he was wronged and raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender.

"Chu Cihan, please don't ruin my reputation."

"Innocence?" Chu Cihan chuckled. "You still have that thing?"

Shen Ye: "..."

Okay, so in this guy's eyes he's just a filthy piece of trash.

"Of course, I'm quite ethical, and the situation you described doesn't exist at all," Shen Ye said emphatically.

Chu Cihan smiled meaningfully, his eyes sweeping over Shen Ye.

"Yeah?"

She asked softly, her tone rising, as if she had some kind of leverage over her.

Immediately afterwards, in Mu Jingyan's blind spot, she quietly took out her phone.

With a few taps on the screen, you can open a picture in your photo album.

Then, slightly turn the phone screen towards Shen Ye.

Shen Ye's eyes widened in disbelief.

The photo was taken from a high-angle perspective, so faces are not visible.

The only thing visible in the picture is a pair of milky-white snowflakes surrounded by arms.

Her rounded, full curves were gently supported by slender arms, and her skin glowed with a luminous white under the light, as delicate as peeled egg white.

Shen Ye's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he looked away.

Chu Cihan grinned mischievously and leaned closer to him, lowering his voice.

Should I send it to you?

The girl's scent brushed against his ear, carrying a hint of sweet fruity fragrance.

Shen Ye didn't speak.

Of course, he wouldn't admit that he was attracted to her.

But silence itself is an answer.

The girl didn't wait for his reply, and lowered her head, her fingers lightly sliding across the screen.

"Buzzing—"

Shen Ye's phone vibrated in his pocket.

He took it out and glanced at Chu Cihan.

The other person was looking at him with a smile on their lips, their beautiful eyes full of cunning.

Shen Ye opened the chat interface with Chu Cihan.

A picture lay quietly in the chat box.

He silently long-pressed the image and saved it.

The movements were fluid and seamless, executed in one go.

"Don't do anything naughty while looking at the photos when you get home tonight~"

Chu Cihan smiled and said in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for two people to hear.

Shen Ye scoffed dismissively.

"You think I would do something like that?"

He glanced at her sideways, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Don't forget, you still owe me two sets..."

Before he could finish speaking, a small hand covered his mouth.

Chu Cihan was filled with shame and indignation, even her ears turned crimson.

"Keep your voice down!"

She glared at him in a low voice, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily, before finally letting out a sigh of relief to make sure no one was watching.

Oh, so you're shy now?

Who just posted the photos?

Shen Ye was quite clear that Chu Cihan was just a big talker.

They talk a big game, but when it really comes down to it, they chicken out faster than anyone else.

"You two, it's time to get on the bus. Quiet down for a bit."

Mu Jingyan's voice came from the side, tinged with a hint of helplessness.

She gently touched her forehead, her brows showing signs of weariness.

She didn't sleep well last night and felt groggy all day today.

Shen Ye and Chu Cihan then calmed down a bit.

Mu Jingyan glanced at Shen Ye silently, then quickly looked away.

Last night in her dream, she dreamt of Shen Ye...

In his dream, Shen Ye picked her up in the same position he had used on the riverbank last time.

Then......

The image is a bit blurry, I don't remember it very clearly...

Or perhaps they simply didn't want to remember it clearly.

I only remember hearing the sound of flowing water in my dream.

Mu Jingyan's earlobes turned slightly red, but quickly returned to normal.

She pursed her lips and found a reason for herself in her mind.

This is just a normal physiological reaction during puberty.

It doesn't mean anything.

No, it's not possible.

An announcement came over the loudspeaker that the train was arriving at the station.

The group lined up and boarded the bus.

Just like when he arrived, Shen Ye was still sitting in the three-seater.

The seat by the window is Chu Cihan, and the seat by the aisle is Mu Jingyan.

He was caught in the middle again.

The train started moving, and the scenery outside the window rushed past.

Shen Ye was playing with his phone listlessly.

Chu Cihan wore headphones and looked out the window at the scenery, ignoring him completely.

The carriage gradually quieted down.

After a while, I suddenly felt some weight on my right shoulder.

Shen Ye turned his head to look.

Mu Jingyan fell asleep at some point.

The girl leaned against him, her head resting on his shoulder, her breathing even and long.

His long, jet-black hair fell down like a curtain, with a few stray strands brushing against his neck, causing a faint ticklish sensation.

A pleasant hair fragrance wafts by; it's not a strong perfume scent, but rather a very light and clean shampoo aroma.

Like the light mist of a spring morning, refreshing and gentle.

Shen Ye felt completely relaxed, both physically and mentally.

Fine, I'll let you lean on me for a bit.

He slightly adjusted his posture to make Mu Jingyan more comfortable.

He tilted his shoulder slightly to the side, which made it easier for her to rest her head on his pillow.

He was stunned for a moment after making the move.

When did I start paying so much attention to this guy?

Forget it, I don't want to.

Shen Ye yawned, and drowsiness washed over him.

I got up very early today and traveled all afternoon, so I'm really tired.

He took out his school uniform jacket from his backpack, unfolded it, and gently covered the two of them.

The train has air conditioning, so you can't leave your stomach uncovered...

The fabric draped over my arm felt slightly cool.

Then, Shen Ye tilted his head and drifted off to sleep.
