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

The screen lit up, and several screens of unread messages popped up in the notification bar.

Shen Ye scanned from top to bottom.

There were classmates, teachers, and a few other people I rarely contact. The messages were all similar, asking how I did on the exam.

Shen Ye replied to a few of them, all with simple answers.

As for the messages from the teachers, I replied to each one with "Thank you, teacher," fulfilling my courtesy.

After dealing with these peripheral issues, he scrolled through the chat list and focused on the most important messages.

First, it's Lin Chunuan's.

The girl had just finished her exams and couldn't wait to send a string of messages.

Nuannuan: [Brother!]

Nuannuan: [I've finished my exams!!]

Nuannuan: [My biology skills are amazing! I actually managed to answer that last genetics question!]

Warm: [Image]

The last photo was of a street scene taken through a car window, with a small reflection of her own image on the glass—a ponytail, and a peace sign.

It seems that Xu Muwan is taking her home.

Shen Ye's lips curled up slightly.

This girl was so nervous she couldn't sleep three days before the exam, but her true colors were revealed immediately after it was over.

He had just opened the input box, ready to type a reply, when a video call request suddenly popped up on the screen.

Caller: Nuannuan.

This speed clearly indicated that the older brother had already left the examination hall.

Shen Ye answered the call.

The screen shook twice, then focused, and Lin Chunuan's delicate face appeared on the screen.

The young woman's face was radiant, and her eyes were incredibly bright; she was clearly in a very good mood.

"elder brother!"

She leaned close to the camera, her face almost touching the screen.

"Have you left the exam room? I've finished!"

"We're out." Shen Ye held the phone further away. "Uncle's driving. What about you?"

"I'm still on my way!"

Lin Chunu leaned against the car window.

Shen Ye said helplessly, "We're almost home. Can't we just say what we need to say to each other?"

"not good!"

The little girl pouted, looking quite self-righteous.

"I can't wait to share it with my brother..."

A soft laugh came from the other end of the video call; the voice belonged to Xu Muwan.

The camera tilted slightly, revealing half of Xu Muwan's face: "Xiao Ye, don't spoil her. Let her go back and talk to her."

"Mother!"

Lin Chunu snatched the camera back, clutching her phone tightly, and excitedly began her report.

"You wouldn't believe it, the last big question was about genetic maps, which we practiced so many times! I recognized it immediately!"

"And the English essays were exactly the kind of topics I had memorized!"

"By the way, math is really not hard; I felt it was even easier than the mock exam..."

She rambled on for two minutes, and what she said boiled down to one thing:

Praise me, praise me now!

Shen Ye could certainly see through the little girl's thoughts.

They were also generous with their praise.

Lin Chunuan's eyes curved into crescent moons, and she couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth.

The two exchanged a few more words, and before they knew it, the scenery outside the window had changed, and Lin Jianye's car had arrived at the apartment building.

Shen Ye pushed open the car door and picked up his schoolbag.

"We've arrived. I'm going upstairs. I'll hang up now."

"Okay, fine..."

On the other end of the video, Lin Chunuan waved her hand reluctantly.

Shen Ye turned off the video, stood in front of the building entrance, and sighed inwardly.

This girl is so clingy.

He put away his phone and took the elevator upstairs.

I changed my shoes in the entryway, turned on the light, and threw my schoolbag onto the sofa.

Shen Ye poured himself a glass of water, then nestled back into the sofa, swiped out his chat with Nuan Nuan, and focused his attention on the other chat windows.

"Um?"

Shen Ye suddenly frowned.

Opening the chat window with Mu Jingyan, I saw that she had sent several messages a dozen minutes earlier.

Mu Jingyan: [Huanhuan and I have finished our exams.]

Mu Jingyan: [It's quite simple.]

Mu Jingyan: [We're planning to go back. What about you? When are you coming back?]

Three messages, as concise as ever.

Everything is normal here.

They were talking about the difficulty of the exam and asking him when he would return to that villa.

Shen Ye was thinking about how to reply when his gaze fell on the fourth message, and he suddenly stopped.

Mu Jingyan: [My mother is here. She seems to have said she'd take us back...]

Did Qin Xian go to pick them up?

Shen Ye's furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

Although it was somewhat unexpected, upon closer reflection, it is not difficult to understand.

After all, this is the college entrance examination.

Qin Xian is someone who values ​​grades so much. It's perfectly normal for her to be there as a parent to pick up her daughter after she finishes the most important exam of her life, and to send her back in style.

but......

Shen Ye stared at the line of text and read it again, word by word.

What does "send us back" mean?

Should they be sent back to the villa, or to their own home?

The former involves giving a ride along the way, fulfilling a parent's duty, and then going their separate ways.

The latter...that's a bit more troublesome...

Shen Ye typed two words on the screen, then deleted them. After considering for a few seconds, he finally sent the message:

Shen Ye: [Is she going to take you home?]

The message was sent, but there was silence on the other end.

A few seconds later, Mu Jingyan gave him her reply.

Mu Jingyan: [Image]

There were no words, just a picture.

Shen Ye clicked on it.

This is the living room of the villa.

The shot was probably taken casually by Mu Jingyan, as the lighting is a bit shaky.

A woman was sitting in the very center of the sofa.

Wearing a burgundy suit, standing ramrod straight, legs crossed, he leisurely sipped tea from an unfamiliar bone china teacup.

Her well-maintained face revealed no emotion; wasn't that Qin Xian?

In other words, Qin Xian did not take them home, but only dropped them off at the villa.

It looks like it was just delivered.

but......

Looking at Qin Xian, who was leisurely drinking tea on the sofa in the photo, Shen Ye's relaxed brows furrowed again.

He stared at the photo for a long time, wanting to ask the other person: Is this your home? You just walked in.

(Just wanted to let everyone know that this book is planned to end at around 500,000 words. The reason is... when I started writing this book, I didn't have an outline or anything. It was okay at the beginning, but as I wrote, I got more and more lost and the writing fell apart. So I plan to end it as soon as possible. As for the plot that everyone likes, it will appear in the epilogue.)
