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

The brief break between classes passed in the blink of an eye, and the preparatory bell rang soon after.

The noisy fighting in the classroom quickly subsided, and the students returned to their seats, ready to receive the content of the new lesson.

Shen Ye, who had just finished silently studying the system panel while leaning back in his chair, snapped out of his reverie, turned his head to look at Lin Chunuan beside him, who was listlessly staring blankly with her hand propping up her cheek, and softly asked, "What's the next class?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Chunuan blinked her big, watery eyes and looked at her brother with a puzzled expression.

How come my brother, with such a good memory, forgot his class schedule?

Although she was curious, she obediently answered, "It's a labor class, brother."

"Labor class..."

Shen Ye nodded slightly.

He gently patted Lin Churuan's head and casually instructed, "When we go to class later, please tell the teacher that I'm going to participate in the school's English oral competition and I won't be attending this class."

Liu Xiaolu noticed him in class last time, and the teacher immediately decided to let him represent the class in the competition. Today is the day of the grade-wide unified competition.

"oh......"

Lin Chunuan immediately lowered her head, pouted slightly, and looked very unwilling.

Even if it was a boring and tedious labor class, she found it interesting as long as she could be in the same classroom as her brother.

But now that Shen Ye is going to participate in a competition, she won't see him for the entire class period. The little girl suddenly felt listless and empty inside.

Shen Ye looked at her sullen little face and chuckled helplessly, without offering any further comfort.

He glanced at the time on his wrist; there were still more than ten minutes before the competition started, which was plenty of time.

Without lingering, Shen Ye stood up straight, took the competition certificate he had prepared in advance, and walked towards the classroom door.

As soon as he stepped out of his seat, the girls who had been peeking at him from the classroom doorway panicked instantly.

"He's out!"

Soft gasps of surprise rose and fell, and the girls gathered at the doorway scattered involuntarily, quickly taking several steps back.

Having watched him every day for some time, they had long since grown accustomed to observing Shen Ye sitting quietly from afar.

But every time Shen Ye took the initiative to get up and walk over, everyone would still feel nervous and shy, and their hearts would race.

Even as everyone else stepped back, one particularly bold girl mustered her courage, gritted her teeth, and stepped forward, her face slightly flushed, to greet him softly: "Shen Ye, hello there!"

"Hello there."

Shen Ye remained calm, simply nodding politely in response. Without exchanging any further words, he walked straight past the group and headed towards the competition classroom.

Once the person had gone far away, the girls at the door dared to whisper among themselves, their eyes filled with envy.

......

Meanwhile, the labor class for Class Two officially began.

On the platform, Teacher Li, the labor teacher, smiled gently at the group of children sitting neatly below and said softly, "Children, today we won't have a theory lesson. Let's learn how to braid bracelets together. Are you all interested?"

"have--!"

The whole class spoke in unison, their voices loud and excited.

For students, a good course is one that doesn't require memorization or doing exercises, but allows for hands-on play, filling everyone with a sense of novelty and a desire to explore.

"very good."

With gentle eyes, Teacher Li took out two bright red ropes from the teaching aid box and showed them to the whole class.

"Now the teacher will teach everyone step by step, slowing down the movements so that everyone can watch carefully. In a little while, everyone will start weaving on their own."

After she finished speaking, her fingers flew nimbly as she patiently and meticulously demonstrated each weaving step. Her movements were slow and clear, ensuring that every student in every corner of the classroom could see the technique.

The simple yet beautiful knot takes shape little by little in her hands, becoming exceptionally exquisite.

After demonstrating the entire process, Teacher Li distributed the prepared red ropes to each student, and each student received their own materials and began to try it out attentively.

The classroom was instantly filled only with the quiet sound of knitting.

Teacher Li slowly patrolled the aisle between the desks, correcting everyone's mistakes in technique as they went.

As she walked, she quickly realized something was wrong.

Shen Ye, who usually studies diligently in class, had an empty seat today.

On the other side, Lin Chunuan was alone with her head down, her hands moving haphazardly, her eyes unfocused, completely out of sorts, and the rope she was braiding was crooked and haphazard.

"Nuan Nuan, where's your brother?" Teacher Li asked softly.

Hearing the teacher's question, Lin Chunuan listlessly raised her head and said in a muffled voice, "My brother went to participate in an English speaking competition."

With her brother, who was not by her side, on her mind, she couldn't muster any energy to do anything, and her hand movements were chaotic and absent-minded throughout.

"So that's how it is."

Teacher Li nodded knowingly, walked gently to her side, looked at her numerous mistakes in the knitting, and said with a soft smile, "You're not knitting it the right way. It'll come undone easily. I'll teach you again separately."

As she spoke, she gently took Lin Chunuan's small hand and guided her step by step to adjust her technique, correcting her mistakes little by little, and patiently and meticulously instructing her on the steps.

Even with the teacher's hands-on instruction, Lin Chunuan remained uninterested, her eyes darting around, unable to concentrate.

Seeing the little girl's listless appearance, Teacher Li casually smiled and said, "Nuan Nuan, you must study hard. The peace knot that the teacher taught you has a very good meaning. The finished bracelet can be given to someone important to you, to bless them with peace and good fortune."

That simple sentence instantly brightened Lin Chunuan's eyes.

Someone important!

The first image that popped into her mind was Shen Ye!

Yes! She can make a bracelet to give to her brother!

In an instant, all of Lin Chunuan's gloom and boredom vanished.

Her previously unfocused gaze instantly became incredibly focused, her droopy little face perked up again, and she stared intently at the red rope in her hand, carefully weaving it step by step, following the teacher's instructions with exceptional dedication.

She meticulously wove each step and each knot, with only one thought in her mind—

I must make the most beautiful and complete peace bracelet to give to my brother!

......

The setting sun streamed in through the glass windows of the school building, casting a warm glow; it was just the time for elementary school students to let out.

The English speaking competition has already concluded successfully.

Throughout the entire competition, Shen Ye maintained a stable performance, with standard and fluent pronunciation and natural and authentic sentence expression.

His spoken English skills stood out among all the contestants.

After the competition, all the teachers in charge of judging praised him highly, and his homeroom teacher, Liu Xiaolu, couldn't stop smiling.

Without a doubt, the champion of this grade-level oral English competition is already a foregone conclusion.

Shen Ye remained completely unmoved by this.

With the support of systematic language skills, if he can't even win first place in a competition at the elementary school level, he might as well drop out of school.

He strolled slowly down the corridor toward Class 2, Grade 3, preparing to go back to the classroom to get his schoolbag and leave school.

Just as I reached the middle of the corridor, a clear and familiar voice suddenly rang out.

"elder brother!"

The clear, soft voice pierced through the corridor, standing out prominently.

Shen Ye looked up and saw Lin Chunuan, carrying a pink backpack, standing on tiptoe and peering out from the end of the corridor.

The moment she saw him, the little girl's eyes lit up like stars, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she skipped and hopped towards him on her short legs.

She ran incredibly fast, showing no sign of slowing down, and plunged straight into Shen Ye's arms.

In fact, Lin Chunuan could have stopped herself, but she especially liked the feeling of being caught steadily by her brother every time she jumped into his arms, so she would deliberately rush over to act cute and clingy every time.

"Brother, brother! Nuannuan has prepared a gift for you!"

Lin Chunu hugged his waist tightly, rubbed her face against his clothes, and looked overjoyed.

"A gift?" Shen Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat curious.

"Yes! It's a super beautiful gift!"

Lin Chunuan mysteriously turned one hand behind her back, then slowly opened it, revealing a neatly woven, brightly colored red safety bracelet lying quietly in her palm.

She carefully protected the work she had just meticulously woven in class, ensuring it wasn't messed up at all.

She gently shook the end of the rope, and the curled-up red rope instantly unfurled, revealing a complete and exquisite peace knot, small and beautiful.

"Brother, put this on quickly! Nuannuan knitted it herself!"

Lin Chunuan couldn't wait to grab Shen Ye's wrist, stand on tiptoe, and try to put the bracelet on for him.

It's just that her little hands aren't very dexterous, and she couldn't get it on properly even after several attempts.

Looking at her clumsy yet earnest expression, Shen Ye smiled helplessly and said, "Let's go home and put it on first."

"No, no! I want to wear it now!"

Lin Chunuan immediately started to act coquettishly, hugging his arm and rubbing against him gently, pleading softly, "Brother, please, put it on now~"

Seeing the little girl's persistent yet adorable appearance, Shen Ye completely lost his temper.

"Fine, fine, I give up."

He willingly raised his hand, letting Lin Chunuan do as she pleased.

A dozen or so years later, the red safety bracelet was securely placed on his wrist. It was the perfect size, and the red string made his skin look even cleaner and whiter, making him look exceptionally handsome.

Lin Chunu stared at the bracelet she had braided herself on her brother's wrist, her eyes instantly filled with a great sense of accomplishment, and her heart was filled with sweet joy.

"Are you happy now?" Shen Ye raised his hand and rubbed her little head, his tone full of doting and helplessness.

"Hehe! Big brother is the best!"

Lin Chunuan smiled, her eyes crinkling like a little fox who had stolen a piece of candy, overjoyed.

The two walked back to the classroom side by side to pick up their schoolbags, followed the flow of people out of the school gate, and soon saw Xu Muwan waiting outside.

I got on the bus home and arrived home safely.

The next day was Saturday, and finally I didn't have to get up early for school.

The thought of sleeping in and resting all day made Shen Ye feel relaxed.

He returned to his room and collapsed onto the soft, large new bed, stretching out his limbs, so comfortable that he didn't want to move at all.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and catch up on sleep, the smartwatch on his wrist suddenly buzzed twice.

Shen Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, feeling somewhat puzzled.

Who would suddenly message him at this time?

He turned his head and glanced casually at his watch screen. When he saw the name of the contact who sent the message, he was instantly stunned.

Three words were prominently displayed on the screen: "Chu Ci Han".

That proud, stubborn but soft-hearted girl who had cried on campus before.

Shen Ye opened the message box with some surprise.

The pinned message was direct and assertive, carrying the same haughty tone of a spoiled young lady:

[Shen Ye, come to Yunqi Park at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I need to check on your recent condition.]

Shen Ye: ? ? ?

Don't even think about refusing; I know your exact address. If you dare not come, I'll personally pay you a visit!
