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

So that's how it is...

Chu Cihan lowered his head and bit the corner of his mouth.

Her feelings were somewhat complicated.

Chu Cihan was not entirely unfamiliar with Qin Xian.

Her family and Mu Jingyan's family have some connections.

It seems that Mu Jingyan's mother and her mother had some conflicts in the past.

Her mother had told her that the other person was a very selfish and unreasonable person.

Therefore, Chu Cihan already had a bad impression of Qin Xian.

But after hearing what Shen Ye said, she realized she had been too naive...

What she considered "incomprehensible" was on a completely different level from the actual situation.

Even though Shen Ye only revealed a small part of what Qin Xian had said, she still found it incredible.

Is it really possible for someone to force their daughter to take an exam when she is sick?

My daughter has a high fever, but she's still thinking about the mock exam.

Although mock exams are important, they can't compare to a person's physical health.

Moreover, although she always mocked Mu Jingyan for being "the eternal runner-up," this "runner-up" only applied to Shen Ye.

Aside from Shen Ye, her strength is overwhelmingly superior in her grade.

Chu Ci Han could not understand.

If it were her mother, she would definitely tell her not to worry about these things and to just get some rest.

"Health is the most important thing; we can worry about grades later."

Her mother would definitely say that.

Putting herself in Mu Jingyan's shoes, Chu Cihan felt that if she were Mu Jingyan, she probably wouldn't be as strong as Mu Jingyan if her mother said such hurtful things to her.

She probably broke down on the spot.

Upon realizing this, Chu Cihan's imposing manner when questioning Shen Ye weakened considerably.

Her brows relaxed, her shoulders slumped, and the resentment and anger she felt dissipated considerably.

"So, in that sense...those two...are quite pitiful..."

She said in a low voice, her voice tinged with helplessness.

Shen Ye nodded.

"yes."

His tone was also somewhat heavy.

"Having a mother like this is truly a nightmare."

He sighed.

It's not good to talk badly about their mother behind their backs.

but......

What does it matter to you if I curse your mother?

If you do something wrong, you'll just have to take the criticism.

Seeing Chu Cihan deep in thought with his head down, Shen Ye tentatively asked:

"So...you forgive me?"

Chu Cihan frowned again.

"One thing at a time."

Her tone turned somewhat cold again.

I won't pursue the matter between the two of them.

"But shouldn't you also explain why you're not coming to school?"

"And why aren't you replying to my messages?!"

Shen Ye froze.

He opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

You can't exactly say you were having too much fun playing with Mu Jingyan and forgot about her, can you...?

If that's really the case, Chu Cihan probably won't talk to him for the next week.

So he came up with an excuse.

"When Mu Jingyan woke up this morning, she was very weak."

He said it in a very serious tone.

"There is a possibility of relapse, and someone will need to take care of you."

"You know Huanhuan has no experience in this area."

"Nuannuan is about the same."

"So I stayed to take care of her."

Chu Cihan did not speak immediately upon hearing this.

"and then?"

"Then......"

Shen Ye scratched the back of his head.

"And then, because I was taking such good care of her, before I knew it..."

"You've already forgotten?"

Chu Cihan finished speaking for him.

"......right."

Shen Ye nodded, forcing himself to be polite.

Chu Cihan clenched his fist.

Then she rushed up and unleashed a series of cat punches at Shen Ye's down jacket.

He punched Shen Ye in the chest again and again.

"You're so bad!"

She would shout with each hit.

It wasn't very forceful, about the same as a tickle.

But the attitude is very clear.

She was really angry.

Shen Ye did not dodge.

He stood there, letting Chu Ci beat him.

She should calm down after she finishes hitting him, right?

Sure enough, Chu Cihan got tired after throwing punches for a minute straight.

Her arms were a little sore, and her breathing became rapid.

The anger he felt earlier gradually dissipated as he threw his punch.

She stopped what she was doing, lowered her head, and seemed lost in thought.

Then she suddenly asked:

Do you have any spare rooms?

Shen Ye was stunned for a moment.

"Um?"

He was a little puzzled as to why she asked that.

Then he remembered that Chu Cihan had just been angry because the Mu Jingyan sisters had moved in...

Shen Ye immediately had a bad feeling.

Why are you asking this?

He asked suspiciously.

Chu Cihan didn't look at him, but turned her head away and said in a muffled voice:

"Don't get me wrong, I don't want to move into your house."

"Your house is so small and dilapidated, who would want it?"

"I don't want to move in..."

Shen Ye rolled his eyes.

Well, that's basically admitting it without being asked.

The girl was saying things she disliked, but she was actually hinting at something to him.

His words were filled with the implication: I also want to move in, but I'm too embarrassed to say it.

Shen Ye simply remained silent and stared at her.

Chu Cihan felt uneasy looking at him.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes began to wander.

But she quickly came up with another idea.

"I don't want to move in."

She deliberately raised her voice a little.

"If I move in, I definitely won't come to your room in the middle of the night dressed as a maid and wearing black stockings."

"Hmph, these are all just fantasies of a shut-in like you..."

"I would never do that..."

"I will never let you touch my legs or pinch my feet, you're not worthy of doing that..."

Shen Ye's eyes lit up.

To be honest, he was a little tempted.

But I'm glad that Shen Ye isn't the type of person whose big head is controlled by his small head.

He pressed down on Chu Cihan's shoulder, his tone becoming serious.

"Chu Cihan, your situation is different from theirs."

"They can't go home for a while, and their parents don't care."

"But if you move into my house, will your parents agree?"

Chu Cihan was taken aback.

She stared blankly at Shen Ye, as if pondering the question.

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

Her parents wouldn't allow her to live in a male classmate's house.

Even if she and Shen Ye were childhood friends, her parents would not allow it.

Chu Cihan was very troubled.

Her brow furrowed, caught in a dilemma.

But she certainly wouldn't let Shen Ye off so easily.

"What are you being so delusional about?"

She snorted, deliberately making her voice cold.

"I never said I wanted to live with you."

Then she added:

"Of course, I won't tell you that I'll be an adult in a few months."

"My parents are going to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for me."

"I'm not inviting you over."

Shen Ye: "..."

He knew exactly what she meant—since you can't move in, you have to agree to my request!

Shen Ye covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.

"I'll go to your coming-of-age ceremony, okay?"

Chu Cihan's lips curled up slightly.

But she quickly suppressed it, acting as if she didn't care.

"Hmph~"

She turned her head away.

"You didn't give me permission to come."

"But since you're begging me so earnestly, I'll reluctantly agree..."

"But I'll give you a friendly reminder: my parents will definitely be here then, so be prepared to face them..."
