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

After changing their shoes, Lin Chunuan and Mu Jinghuan went out.

The morning air was exceptionally fresh, carrying the crispness unique to winter.

Lin Chunu walked in front, and Mu Jinghuan walked behind.

The two walked one after the other, with a distance of two or three meters between them.

Both girls seemed a little off.

Lin Chunuan felt particularly bored on her way to school in the morning without her brother by her side.

At this time of day, she would usually be walking arm in arm with her brother, chatting as they went.

She would tell her brother what she dreamed about last night, and her brother would tell her what he wanted to eat for lunch today.

Sometimes, when her brother is in a good mood, she might say a few sweet words, and he'll even carry her for a while...

But now...

She could only walk alone on this familiar road, without that familiar figure beside her.

Mu Jinghuan, on the other hand, was not going to school with her sister for the first time.

Instead, it was with this person I wasn't very familiar with.

Although she is Shen Ye's sister, Xiao Renji is still quite reserved.

She's not very good at getting along with people she doesn't know well.

Aside from her sister and Shen Ye, she almost never speaks to anyone else.

Now that she was being asked to go to school with Lin Chunuan, the little robot was a little nervous, and her legs were stiff as she took a few steps...

"Gurgle—"

Lin Chunuan kicked a pebble.

The pebble rolled along the concrete pavement, making a soft sound, as she kicked it with her toe.

She glanced back discreetly.

This dazed girl named Mu Jinghuan followed behind her the whole time.

She goes when she wants to go, and she stops when she wants to stop.

The two maintained a fixed distance from each other, as if someone was holding them by a string.

Lin Chunuan frowned.

This guy...

Why does it look like a marionette?

Can't it walk by itself?

Does it have to follow me around all the time?

She quickened her pace, trying to create some distance.

But Mu Jinghuan quickened her pace as well.

The distance between the two remained unchanged.

Lin Chunuan couldn't hold back any longer.

She stopped abruptly and turned her head sharply.

Why are you following me?!

Her tone was somewhat sharp, with a hint of impatience.

Mu Jinghuan was startled by her sudden movement.

She stopped and blinked her big eyes.

Those eyes were filled with confusion, as if they didn't know what they had done wrong.

"It was my brother who told me to go with you."

Her voice was soft and gentle.

"My brother told me to stay with you and not get lost."

Lin Chunuan's expression changed, and she clicked her tongue in displeasure.

elder brother?

That's her brother!

He's not this guy's brother!

"That's my brother!"

She said fiercely, her little face puffing up with anger.

"He's not your brother, so don't call him brother!"

Mu Jinghuan tilted her head, looking confused.

"But... Brother Shen Ye told me to call him that."

Her tone was very serious, as if she were stating a fact.

"Brother Shen Ye said that you are his sister, and I am also his sister."

"Brother Shen Ye is also my brother."

Lin Chunuan: "..."

She opened her mouth, wanting to say, "You're not related to him by blood, so why do you call him 'brother'?"

Then he discovered a logical flaw—he and his brother weren't related by blood at all...

She was so angry that she stomped her feet.

"I just won't allow it!" Lin Chunuan tried to intimidate the little blockhead and make her listen to her, but she obviously failed.

"If my brother doesn't allow it, then I won't call him that," Mu Jinghuan said calmly.

"..."

Why is this guy so stubborn!

He won't listen to anything I say!

"you--"

Lin Chunu pointed at Mu Jinghuan's nose, wanting to say something to her.

But I don't know what to say.

After all, Mu Jinghuan hadn't done anything excessive.

She's just... too dull and stupid.

Lin Chunuan was furious, but there was nothing she could do about it.

So she took her backpack off her shoulder.

It was a pink backpack with a cute little charm hanging on it.

She handed the schoolbag to Mu Jinghuan and said:

"Since you're following me, I'll have to charge you some money for guiding me."

Her tone was deliberately nasty.

"Okay, I won't make things difficult for you. Just get me my schoolbag."

What she was really thinking was, "I want to see what this guy is really like."

If I bully her like this, no matter how well she pretends, she'll eventually be exposed.

Then I'll tell my brother her true colors and let him know how bad this girl is.

result--

Mu Jinghuan tilted her head and thought for a moment.

A thoughtful look flashed in those big eyes.

It seems...that's how it is...

There's a fee for having someone guide you...

My sister always said, you can't take advantage of others for nothing...

Then she actually reached out to take Lin Chunuan's schoolbag.

Lin Chunuan was completely stunned.

Aren't you angry?!

She thought Mu Jinghuan would either retort or simply ignore her.

And this guy actually offered to carry her backpack?!

His serious demeanor didn't seem like he was faking it at all.

Lin Chunuan stuffed the schoolbag in her hand into her arms, not knowing what to say for a moment.

This guy doesn't seem to be faking it...

He seems really dull...

.............

Back home, Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan remained in bed.

The curtains were not yet drawn, and the room was dimly lit.

However, Mu Jingyan was awake, while Shen Ye was not.

The girl lay in Shen Ye's arms with her eyes open.

Her head rested on his chest, and she could hear his steady heartbeat.

It's rhythmic, one beat at a time.

She had tried to struggle a couple of times to break free from his embrace.

But Shen Ye's arms were like iron hoops, firmly encircling her waist.

They couldn't break free at all.

So she simply stopped struggling and lay quietly in Shen Ye's arms, watching his sleeping face.

This rascal is actually quite well-behaved when he's asleep...

Mu Jingyan's lips curved into a small smile.

Her gaze slowly lingered on Shen Ye's face.

From his brow bone, to the bridge of his nose, and then to his jaw.

His features are deep-set and well-defined.

Her eyelashes were very long, casting a small shadow under her eyelids.

Her skin was fair and clean, without any blemishes.

When she is asleep, she looks exceptionally quiet.

It was completely different from his usual carefree and smiling demeanor.

Mu Jingyan's gaze finally settled on his lips.

Those lips were thin and slightly pursed.

It has a beautiful shape, as if it was carefully sculpted.

She stared at those lips for a long time.

Lost in thought, she slowly, gently reached out her small hand towards those thin lips...
