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

cartoon?

Shen Ye was stunned.

All the way there, Nuan Nuan kept staring at him, making him feel really uneasy.

He thought this girl was hiding something earth-shattering, but it turned out she was just talking about anime?

"Okay." Shen Ye continued walking. "What anime? Tell me, brother."

Lin Chunuan nodded gently and followed him with small steps, walking half a step beside him.

She pursed her lips and carefully began to speak.

"What is that anime about...?"

"A brother and sister who had lost all their relatives moved from the city to a small rural town after their parents passed away, relying on each other for survival..."

Shen Ye paused for a moment.

Siblings who lost their family...

They depend on each other for survival...

Move to the countryside...

Why does this premise sound so familiar?

"Wait, wait, wait!"

He suddenly turned his head, interrupting Lin Chunuan with a look of shock on his face.

"Are you talking about a serious anime?"

"Let me finish!"

Lin Chunuan stomped her foot, glared at him, and spoke in a harsh tone, as if she had been stopped from making a serious statement.

"well."

Shen Ye nodded and wisely kept quiet.

Okay, I'll listen.

He listened quietly, waiting to see what the girl had to say.

Lin Chunuan paused for a moment, gathered her thoughts, and then continued:

"This older brother is very outstanding."

He's handsome, has a great personality, and excels academically; he's popular wherever he goes.

"Especially girls."

When she said the word "girl," she lowered her voice at the end.

Even after moving from a bustling city to a remote town, my brother still attracts attention...

The more Shen Ye listened, the more his eyebrows twitched.

This is not an anime character.

The setting, the description, the tone—it all sounds more and more like a description of him personally? A brother and sister without parents, moving from a small town, the brother attracting girls wherever he goes...

No, wait a minute.

Perhaps it's just a coincidence.

However, the story then took a completely unpredictable turn.

"Then......"

Lin Chunuan lowered her voice, and two blushes rose on her face, but she didn't stop walking or talking.

"The younger sister felt very uncomfortable seeing her older brother always surrounded by many girls..."

"But girls keep appearing around my brother, one after another, and I can't get rid of them no matter what I do..."

"Then one day, the two had a really bad fight, and the younger sister cried and asked her brother if he didn't like her anymore, if someone else was going to take her away from her..."

"And then...and then..."

At this point, Lin Chunuan's voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's hum, and her cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

"Then, that night, the two of them..."

boom.

Shen Ye felt as if a muffled thunderclap had exploded in his mind.

He stood frozen in place for a full three seconds.

The wind was still blowing, the river was still flowing, and the ground lights on the boardwalk were still on, but all of this had become a backdrop in his eyes.

Shen Ye felt that his eighteen years of life had come to an end.

this......

If he only had some doubts at the beginning, now he is completely certain.

This is the anime about siblings.

So warm, so warm...

Shen Ye felt a mix of emotions, his heart churning like a stormy sea.

My own soft, sweet, innocent, and adorable little sister is even afraid to watch horror movies; she covers her eyes whenever she sees a scene of fish being killed...

How did she come into contact with that kind of thing?!

Lin Chunuan stopped in her tracks.

She turned around to face Shen Ye, her hands clenching and unclenching at her sides.

The riverside lights cast her long shadow on the boardwalk, trembling slightly.

The girl raised her head and stared intently into Shen Ye's eyes.

Those eyes no longer held their usual playful smiles; only a desperate, all-or-nothing gleam remained.

"Anime is not reality."

"However, art originates from reality."

Her voice trembled in the night wind, yet each word grew clearer than the last.

"In anime, a younger sister might like her older brother. That's possible in real life too... right?"

"Warm and cozy."

Shen Ye interrupted her again.

He turned around and faced Lin Chunuan directly, their eyes meeting.

The boy's expression was more serious than ever before.

"That's just anime, we—"

"elder brother!"

Lin Chunu spoke up without hesitation.

She raised her voice, almost shouting, abruptly cutting off Shen Ye's next words. Her eyes trembled with tears, and her voice trembled with a desperate, reckless tone.

"I like you! Please say yes!"
