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

...........

"Chu Ci Han?!"

Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise, his voice filled with shock.

He never imagined that the person squatting in his yard like a thief would be Chu Cihan.

The usually aloof and arrogant young lady was now lying on the ground, being held down by him.

Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks, stained with tears.

Her eyes were red, and her eyelashes were wet.

His cheeks were pale from the cold, and his lips were almost bloodless.

Chu Cihan sobbed softly, tears filling her eyes.

One tear after another slid down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes.

The drops, falling onto the cold ground, quickly vanished without a trace.

At this moment, she was filled with resentment.

Shen Ye brought Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan home to live with him, and then left it at that without telling her.

Now they've even laid a hand on her...

It hurts so much...

Her arm was pressed to the ground by Shen Ye, and the bones in it ached.

Although she knew Shen Ye didn't mean it, the feeling of being misunderstood made her very uncomfortable.

She just wanted to know what he was doing.

She just wanted to see him.

Why did you treat her like that...?

Chu Cihan glared at Shen Ye through gritted teeth while crying.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with tears and grievances.

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go of her hand.

He hurriedly pulled her up from the ground and looked her up and down.

"Are you hurt?" he asked anxiously.

"Did you hurt yourself?"

Fortunately, she was dressed warmly for winter; Chu Cihan's down jacket wrapped her up tightly.

There was no injury.

But Chu Cihan continued to cry softly.

Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

Shen Ye tried to reach out to wipe her tears, but she pushed him away.

She didn't use much force, but her attitude was very clear.

"Don't touch me."

Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs.

"Get away from me."

Shen Ye was pushed away and did not go forward again.

He could only stand quietly beside her, keeping her company.

The night wind howled and swept up the withered leaves on the ground.

Chu Cihan stood there, clutching the hem of his clothes with both hands, his head bowed.

The tears kept flowing.

Shen Ye stood beside her, watching her cry, and felt a little guilty.

He really shouldn't have laid a hand on her.

Even if you thought she was a thief, you should have confirmed it before taking action.

Instead of rushing in directly.

Chu Cihan didn't cry for long.

In about two minutes, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.

But the tear stains on her face still made her look like a kitten.

Her eyes were red-rimmed, and the tip of her nose was red too.

A few teardrops still clung to her eyelashes, glistening under the streetlights.

Shen Ye pulled a crumpled tissue out of his pocket.

I don't know when it was put in, but at this point I can only make do with it.

He handed a tissue to Chu Cihan, wanting to help her wipe her tears.

"Here, wipe it off."

Chu Cihan glanced at him but didn't take it.

She wiped her face with the back of her hand, removing her tears.

Then she looked up and glared at him.

Those eyes were still wet with tears, but even more so with anger.

"you......"

She gritted her teeth and questioned him.

"Weren't you just going to the hospital to take care of Mu Jingyan?"

"Why did you bring them home?!"

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

Why aren't you replying to my messages?!

Her voice grew louder and louder until it was almost a shout.

"Do you really think I'm completely unimportant to you?!"

When she uttered the last word, her voice choked up again.

Tears welled up again.

Shen Ye felt a pang of sadness seeing her like this.

He took out his phone and opened the chat interface.

Chu Cihan did send him a lot of messages that morning.

Most of the questions were about why he didn't come to school today, and what he was doing.

A few other messages said they missed him and asked when he would come back.

But he spent half of this morning sleeping with Mu Jingyan.

I slept until after nine o'clock before waking up.

After waking up, she busied herself changing Mu Jingyan's clothes and buying her clothes.

I didn't even bother to look at my phone.

Although he saw the message later, Mu Jingyan was talking to him again at the time, so he forgot to reply.

Shen Ye didn't explain, he just sincerely apologized.

"sorry."

He kept his voice very low.

"It's my fault."

I shouldn't have ignored your messages.

"I shouldn't have kept it from you either."

Most girls want your attitude, not all sorts of excuses.

And he was indeed wrong in this matter.

Chu Cihan didn't speak, she just looked at him.

Her eyes were still glistening with tears, but she wasn't as agitated as before.

Shen Ye reached out and, ignoring her protests, pulled her to a sheltered spot.

There is a low wall on one side of the yard, which can block most of the wind.

He pulled Chu Cihan behind the wall so she wouldn't be exposed to the cold wind.

"Stand here."

He said.

"Don't catch a cold from the wind."

Chu Cihan did not resist and let him pull her along.

She stood behind the wall, looking up at Shen Ye.

"I don't want your apology."

Her voice sounded muffled.

"I just want to know why."

"Why did you bring them home? Why didn't you tell me?"

Shen Ye remained silent for a while.

He looked down at Chu Cihan and saw her eyes, which were still streaked with tears.

He sighed.

"Last night..."

He began to speak.

"After I took Mu Jingyan to the hospital, I ran into Qin Xian, and she... said some very hurtful things to Mu Jingyan."

"Mu Jingyan ran out crying, with nowhere to go."

"So I brought them home."

He briefly recounted what had happened the previous night.

It wasn't explained in too much detail, just a general description.

What did Qin Xian say to Mu Jingyan, and how did Mu Jingyan react?

How sad and helpless the two sisters must have felt.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chu Cihan.

That's how it is.

His tone was calm.

"I didn't mean to keep it from you."

"But... the situation was rather complicated at the time, and I didn't have time to think about it too much."

After listening, Chu Cihan fell silent.
