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

The morning light moved forward another inch and climbed onto the edge of the bed.

Shen Ye made a move.

He remained in that supine position for almost half an hour, with a furry head pressed under his arm, which had long since gone numb.

A tingling, electric current surged from my fingertips to my shoulders.

He tried to pull his arm out.

The movements were extremely gentle, inch by inch, half an inch, with breath held, even the sound of the fabric rubbing together was almost stifled in the swaddling clothes.

Unfortunately, it was all for nothing.

He had barely moved his arm two fingers' width away when the person in his arms fluttered their eyelashes and slowly opened their eyes.

There was not a trace of the confusion one might feel when just waking up in those eyes.

It's very Qingming Festival.

Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

How could he not see that the girl must have been awake a long time ago, and was probably just pretending to be asleep?

This was the situation he least wanted to face this morning. After what happened last night, he still hadn't come up with a proper opening line.

Should we pretend nothing happened? Should we have a serious talk? Or should we first try to smooth things over by saying, "It was my brother's fault last night"?

Each option teeters on the brink of disaster.

Just as he was unable to utter a single word, Lin Chunuan made the first move.

The girl pursed her lips, forming a small curve, and leaned against the bed, moving closer to his face.

Nearly.

closer.

"Nuan Nuan, you haven't brushed your teeth yet..." Shen Ye said quietly.

This was the only straw he could grasp at that moment.

"fine."

The young girl remained calm and composed, speaking with confidence and self-assurance.

"I don't dislike my brother."

"......"

Nobody should stop anyone else.

Their lips and teeth touched, soft, warm, and still carrying the warmth of someone who had just woken up.

Being stimulated like this so early in the morning, Shen Ye really couldn't take it anymore.

He's a normal, hot-blooded young man. He was tormented half the night last night, and this morning he woke up to the same series of attacks. Who could withstand this kind of test?

Shen Ye has grown from a small child into a strong older brother.

Lin Chunuan felt these things particularly strongly.

The girl's eyelashes trembled, and she glanced down.

The smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, so deep it seemed to overflow with honey.

"elder brother."

She raised her face, her eyes flashing with an alarming light.

"I'm so cold, I want to get under the covers and warm up..."

Before any response could be received, the little girl darted under the covers.

The blanket bulged out in an arc, and Lin Chunuan finally stopped around Shen Ye's lower abdomen, using that area as a pillow.

"Phew~"

Shen Ye gritted his teeth, his Adam's apple bobbed violently, and stared up at the ceiling, his pupils unfocused.

After last night.

The brother and sister seemed to have jointly opened a box that had been sleeping at the bottom of Pandora's box for more than a decade.

Once the box is opened, nothing can be hidden anymore.

Lin Chunuan no longer concealed her feelings at all; her longing for her brother was blatantly displayed. Every word, every action, every glance, every little gesture was running wildly down the path of transgression, each time more outrageous than the last.

Shen Ye understood.

This is wrong.

He understands the principles; he understands a million of them.

Once a Coca-Cola is torn open, it's not something you can just put away whenever you want.

When a dam breaks, not a single drop of water is innocent, nor can a single drop of water climb back up to the top of the dam on its own.

He touched the little head that was bobbing up and down through the blanket.

Guilt welled up in my heart at that moment.

To Mu Jingyan.

How should he explain this situation to her?

On the second day of dating, my boyfriend spent the night in another girl's bed. I can't even make up a story like that, let alone explain it.

Then there's himself.

If he had been more firm and assertive last night, simply throwing her back into her room and locking the door...

Will Nuannuan have another chance to take advantage?

Will not.

Ultimately, it was his own problem; he surrendered to the phrase, "Even if you're just lying to me."

"Coo-choo~"

The birds outside the window seemed to be making strange calls that Shen Ye had never heard before.

The birdsong brought him comfort and a sense of relief...

Shen Ye closed his eyes.

............

noon.

A feast of seafood was laid out on the table—steamed grouper, scallops with garlic and vermicelli, boiled prawns, stir-fried clams with chili, and a whole pot of steaming hot seafood.

Lin Chunuan picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, chewed slowly, and her little brows gradually furrowed.

"What does it taste like?" Shen Ye asked.

She swallowed it, then picked up another shrimp and savored it carefully.

"It's a little salty...and a little fishy..."

The comments were delivered with utmost seriousness.

Shen Ye, sitting opposite, paused with his chopsticks.

He put his hand down, leaned over, pulled the plate of fish over, took a bite, and nodded.

"Yeah, seafood really can't be kept for long."

"It only sat in the refrigerator for a day, and the fishy smell got much stronger."

"I should have eaten half of it last night."

last night.

The two of them paused for a moment the moment the two words were uttered.

They didn't have time to care about seafood last night.

Lin Chunuan came to her senses first, then casually peeled another shrimp and dipped it in soy sauce.

"It's fine."

She held the shrimp meat to Shen Ye's lips, tilted her little face up, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"Anything my brother makes tastes good."

"It's okay if it's a little fishy, ​​Nuannuan will eat it all."

Shen Ye ate the shrimp from her hand, then lowered his head to eat his rice, his ears feeling a little hot.

This is way too subtle...

............

A seafood feast was devoured in a flash.

After dinner, the two snuggled up on the sofa again.

Same spot, same posture. Lin Chunuan hugged her brother's arm, hanging on it, her cheek pressed against his shoulder, her legs curled up on the sofa, and her tail practically wagging.

An unknown variety show was playing on TV, and the host was speaking loudly, but no one paid any attention to it.

The sunlight streamed in at an angle, illuminating the two people.

"elder brother."

"Um?"

"I am so happy right now."

Her voice was soft, with a sweet undertone at the end.

Starting from the day before yesterday, I was rejected, and by midnight I was crying my eyes out. Then I climbed into bed and succeeded.

In just two days, she experienced a rollercoaster ride, soaring from the bottom of the valley to the top of the clouds.

Now, it's landed.

She fell into the arms of her favorite person.

"......."

Shen Ye remained silent for a while.

The remote control was in his other hand, his thumb unconsciously rubbing the buttons.

happy.

Nuannuan is happy, though.

He was happy, but only physically.

It's still mentally agonizing.

Shen Ye cleared his throat and carefully chose his words.

"Nuan Nuan, last night I actually—"

"You said that last night."

Lin Chunuan interrupted him directly.

She didn't even look up; she rubbed her cheek against his shoulder, finding a more comfortable angle.

She knew exactly what her brother was going to say.

It's simply that they're already together, and all I can do is tell her to stop doing this.

None of it matters.

She said last night that she didn't care who her brother liked.

All those things like reputation, status, and seniority are rules that others have to follow. All she wants is this moment, this brother she's holding, who is real, warm, who can cook a seafood feast, and who is being held in her arms.

Will suffice.

"......"

With his words cut off, Shen Ye tightened his grip on the remote control.

It's unspeakable.

This girl is impervious to reason, neither soft nor hard tactics; one sentence from her completely shut down all his efforts.

He changed his approach.

"Have you thought about what you'll do next?"

Lin Chunuan blinked.

"after?"

Shen Ye lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"If others find out, they'll inevitably gossip..."
