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

The morning light had just broken through the thin mist, casting a hazy glow into the bedroom, while the street outside the window still retained the unique tranquility of the early morning.

Shen Ye slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously glanced at the watch on the pillow.

It wasn't even 7 a.m. yet.

This time is earlier than his usual wake-up time for school.

The long-awaited Saturday off, which should have been a great opportunity to sleep in and completely relax, was disrupted by a message from Chu Cihan.

Lying in bed, enveloped by the soft mattress, with a deep sense of drowsiness still lingering in his mind, Shen Ye really wanted to just turn over and lie down, continuing to catch up on sleep until he naturally woke up.

But the thought of his promise to Chu Cihan instantly dispelled his desire to slack off.

Yunqi Park is not close to his home. Even by taking the subway, it would take more than half an hour without any delay.

Most importantly, Shen Ye had never ridden the subway alone before in all his life.

The unfamiliar routes, complicated transfers, and constant flow of people made him feel annoyed just thinking about it.

The thought that all of this was caused by Chu Cihan made Shen Ye secretly grumble to himself.

That wretched Chu Ci Han!

Why not sleep in on a perfectly good weekend instead of making everyone up early in the morning!

But he also knew Chu Cihan's personality very well: proud, stubborn, and a man of his word.

If I dare to break my promise today, she will definitely keep her word and come to my door, which will only make things more troublesome.

Shen Ye sighed softly, his gaze falling on the bright red safety bracelet on the pillow by the bedside.

Should I wear it...?

He was caught in a dilemma.

If I wear it on my wrist now, when I see Chu Cihan later, that girl, with her sharp mind, will definitely keep asking me all sorts of questions, endlessly.

But if she doesn't wear it, and the clingy Lin Chunuan finds out, she'll definitely throw a tantrum and act all spoiled.

After much deliberation, Shen Ye finally settled on a solution.

Let's put it away for now!

I'll wear it when I get home tonight; that'll be the best of both worlds.

He reached for the bracelet, folded it neatly, and stuffed it into the inside pocket of his hoodie to make sure he wouldn't lose it.

After a quick wash and tidying up, and changing into clean clothes, Shen Ye quietly pushed open the bedroom door.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, he bumped into Xu Muwan, who was busy getting up early.

Today is Saturday, no school. The children usually sleep until dawn. Xu Muwan thought the two little ones were still fast asleep. When she saw Shen Ye leaving early, she was surprised and even wondered if she had remembered the date wrong.

"Xiaoye? Why are you up so early? Isn't today the weekend?"

Xu Muwan stopped what she was doing and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Shh-"

Shen Ye immediately put his index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture, and signaled to her to be quiet.

Lin Chunuan was still sleeping in the next room. The little girl was a light sleeper, and once she was woken up, she would immediately cling to him and follow him around every step of the way.

If she clings to me, my plans to go out today will definitely be ruined.

Shen Ye lowered his voice and explained softly, "Auntie, a friend I used to know invited me out, and I'm about to go there now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Muwan immediately understood and nodded with a gentle smile: "I see. Would you like to have breakfast at home first? I'll make it for you now, it'll be quick."

"No need, Auntie, we're in a bit of a rush, there won't be enough time." Shen Ye gently shook his head and refused.

"Okay." Xu Muwan didn't insist, and kindly reminded her, "Then you must be careful on the road, don't go to remote places, and go home early when you're tired. I'll explain to Nuannuan about your trip after she wakes up."

"Thank you, Auntie, I understand."

Shen Ye obediently responded, trying to keep her footsteps as quiet as possible, quickly walked to the entrance, changed her shoes, and gently opened the door to go out.

It was a chilly early autumn morning in November.

A cool morning breeze blew in, brushing against his face with a faint chill, instantly dispelling the last trace of drowsiness from Shen Ye's body.

The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet in the early morning. The morning mist had not yet completely dissipated, and fine dewdrops clung to the green plants.

There were hardly any pedestrians out for a stroll on the street, only a few early-rising elderly people leisurely exercising and practicing Tai Chi in the park.

Shen Ye wore a clean and simple white floral gray sweatshirt, paired with khaki trousers, and had a tall and neat figure.

The soft morning light fell on his delicate features, making his already handsome appearance even more outstanding. His features were refined and his temperament was clean and pure. As he walked on the empty streets of the residential area, even the dogs on the roadside would stop to take a look.

He walked briskly along the community road, preparing to leave the community and head to the subway station.

He hadn't walked far when a group of middle-aged women from the neighborhood chatting idly by the roadside caught his attention.

Several middle-aged women huddled in a circle, whispering excitedly about something, their eyes all fixed on the side of the road.

Shen Ye turned his head to look in the direction everyone was looking—a black sedan parked quietly by the roadside.

Just by looking at the car's sleek and high-end texture and its calm and dignified aura, even if Shen Ye didn't recognize it, he could tell that it was worth a lot of money.

Just as he was secretly observing—

"Buzz—!"

The deep, resonant roar of the engine suddenly broke the morning's tranquility.

The black luxury car, which had been quietly parked by the roadside for a long time, suddenly started up, its wheels turned slightly, and it steadily changed direction, slowly driving straight towards Shen Ye.

A look of surprise flashed in Shen Ye's eyes, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

The luxury car came to a smooth stop in front of him, and the door opened gently outwards.

The first thing that caught Shen Ye's eye was a pair of clean, white leather shoes, paired with slender and shapely calves, wrapped in sheer over-the-knee socks, with an exquisite texture.

Then, a gentle, flowing light blue skirt slowly draped down, elegant and beautiful.

Shen Ye's gaze unconsciously moved upwards little by little. When he clearly saw the figure sitting in the car, he was completely stunned. His pupils shrank slightly, and his face was full of disbelief.

"The Chu Ci is cold?!"

"Hmph, that's right, it's me."

Seeing Shen Ye's shocked expression, the girl in the car smiled smugly.

Chu Cihan crossed her arms over her chest, her delicate face slightly raised, carrying a hint of innate arrogance, but her eyes were filled with subtle smiles, clearly very satisfied with Shen Ye's surprised reaction.

She looked up at the boy standing dumbfounded outside the car, her tone forceful and authoritative: "What are you still standing there for? Get in the car!"

"Get in the car?"

Shen Ye was still reeling from the sudden reversal, his mind still a little dazed.

"Otherwise what?" Chu Cihan raised an eyebrow, speaking with self-righteousness, "I got up early specifically to have my driver pick you up personally, and you expect me to stand here in the wind?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave Shen Ye no chance to refuse or hesitate.

Her slender hand reached out and grabbed Shen Ye's hoodie collar. With a gentle yet forceful pull, she dragged the still-dazed Shen Ye into the spacious car.

"Bang!"

The car doors slammed shut, cutting off all outside noise.

The black luxury car roared to life again, started smoothly, and quickly drove away from the residential area, speeding off.

Meanwhile, the group of middle-aged women from the neighborhood who had just witnessed the whole thing were now recovering from their shock and immediately erupted into a heated discussion.
