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

After handing over the phone, Shen Ye didn't say anything more.

Mu Jingyan took the phone and glanced at the screen casually.

The message was short, just a few lines.

Chu Cihan: [Shen Ye! Shen Ye! I'm back from my trip!]

Chu Cihan: [How are you? Can't sleep because you're thinking about me?]

Chu Cihan: [I wasn't originally planning to bring you anything, but then I thought you looked a bit pitiful, so I brought back some souvenirs.]

Chu Cihan: [Let's go out and play tomorrow.]

She read it but offered no comment.

Not a single word.

She simply raised her eyes and quietly looked at Shen Ye.

Just watch.

Shen Ye felt uneasy watching this, and his fingers gripping the remote control curled up involuntarily.

That look exudes an air of quiet authority, on par with asking, "What were you doing last night?"

After a long while, Mu Jingyan let out a soft hum.

"Go if you want to."

"Why are you telling me?"

"...Haha, I was just asking for your opinion..."

"snort."

Another soft hum, the last note rising in pitch, signaled the end of the chapter.

She turned back to watch TV, her hand still gripping his.

Seeing that she didn't react much, Shen Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she had said a few days ago that she had given him two chances, made things clear and drawn a clear line.

But when it came to actually mentioning "going to see Chu Cihan," he still felt a little apprehensive.

He said he was going to "have fun," but he could guess what that guy was really up to even with his eyes closed.

Fortunately, my girlfriend is very magnanimous and didn't hold a grudge.

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

The next day, early in the morning.

Shen Ye woke up just as dawn broke.

He propped himself up, looked at the person sleeping soundly beside him, and quietly got out of bed. He gently tucked the blanket around Mu Jingyan and pressed the corners of the curtains tightly shut.

Then he quietly left the room and closed the door behind him.

Halfway down the stairs, a noise suddenly came from the living room.

"what?"

"Nuan Nuan? Why are you up so early?"

Shen Ye stood at the top of the stairs, and for a moment thought he was hallucinating.

It's only 7 a.m.

Normally, this girl should sleep for another hour or two.

On the sofa, Lin Chunu crossed her long legs and sat up straight.

The moment Shen Ye looked up upon hearing the voice, he saw her face clearly: a dark bluish-black tinge was pressing down on the girl's eyes.

"Good morning, brother..."

Her voice was also listless, and she seemed to lack energy.

Shen Ye frowned, took three steps at a time, and sat down next to her.

"Your dark circles are terrible, didn't you sleep well?"

Lin Chunuan lowered her eyes and did not answer immediately.

She really hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days.

Ever since she overheard her brother and Mu Jingyan's conversation a few mornings ago, her heart has been unable to find peace.

Every night when I lie in bed and stare at the ceiling for too long, my mind starts playing movies uncontrollably.

What exactly happened in my brother's room that day?

What kind of positions and postures were the two of them using to sleep...?

As I was thinking, I drifted off to sleep.

Then the main character in the dream changed.

She herself became the one sparring with her brother.

She envied Mu Jingyan so much.

I'm so envious my heart aches.

The other party was able to openly and honestly do bad things with his brother, to that deepest level, until dawn.

Although she had been intimate with her brother, she hadn't yet reached the deepest point.

It's always just a little bit short.

This morning, Lin Chunu woke up with her cheeks burning hot again; the lingering warmth from her dream had completely banished her sleepiness.

The first thing I do when I wake up is to grab the bed sheet and sneak into the laundry room.

Even now, the washing machine drum is still buzzing.

"I'm having some trouble sleeping."

She said to her brother.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately, so I've been waking up earlier."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye became worried.

Nuannuan has been acting very strangely these past two days.

He's well-behaved, always smiling at people, and doesn't throw tantrums anymore. He's also not like before, always clinging to him for hugs or to be lifted up high.

His obedience made him uneasy.

This is a far cry from the clingy person she used to be.

Is he restraining his temper in order to avoid escalating the conflict between him and Mu Jingyan?

Are you feeling really wronged?

Shen Ye's heart softened, and he reached out to rub her head.

"Don't overthink it."

"Just like before is fine."

"We used to get along quite well."

"Eat what you want, play what you want, your brother is still your brother."

Lin Chunuan was stunned for a moment.

Ok?

Brother, you've... got the wrong idea.

Her insomnia wasn't because of any sisterly relationship.

So she raised her head, looking aggrieved, and spoke in a soft voice.

"That's not why..."

"Just because..."

"Because my brother hasn't been playing with me these past few days..."

"..."

Shen Ye blinked.

Oh.

So this little girl is jealous.

"Okay, okay."

Shen Ye chuckled and reached out to gently scratch her nose.

"It's my brother's fault."

"Pay more attention to Nuannuan from now on, okay?"

"real?"

"real."

He pulled his little finger over and hooked it with his finger.

Lin Chunuan then smiled again, her eyes crinkling, all the previous listlessness vanished, and she was as if she were fully charged.

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

After breakfast.

After washing up, Shen Ye went back to her room to change her clothes.

Shirt, trousers, and neatly combed hair.

"Is brother going out?"

Lin Chunuan leaned against the door frame, looked at the person in the mirror, and asked.

"Um."

Shen Ye didn't try to hide anything from her, and finished speaking while buttoning his shirt.

"Chu Cihan is back, and she asked me to go out with her."

Lin Chunuan said "Oh" and pouted.

How could she not guess Chu Cihan's thoughts?

She's just eyeing my brother.

Also.

That guy likes his older brother; anyone with eyes can see that.

I've liked him since elementary school, and I've pursued him relentlessly for so many years.

Lin Chunuan pouted.

However, she had no right to stop her brother from going to the appointment.

After all, she herself had already gotten involved before signing the contract, and it was only after the deed was done that Mu Jingyan officially recognized her.

When it comes to acting first and informing later, she's more skilled than anyone else.

How could I possibly criticize others like that...?

"Brother, can you sleep with me tonight?"

She stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, and helped Shen Ye straighten his collar, smoothing out the crooked fold.

Then, tilting his head back, he asked tentatively.

Her big eyes sparkled like stars.

"sure."

Shen Ye did not refuse.

Anyway, Mu Jingyan has been trying to kick him out of bed these past two days, saying she can't stand him anymore.

Since Nuannuan took the initiative to invite me.

Then I'll sleep with Nuannuan tonight.

"yeah!"

Lin Chunuan was immediately happy.

The little girl jumped up on the spot, wrapped her arms around Shen Ye's neck, and hung on him, swaying back and forth.

Then she leaned down and kissed him with a smile.

"Pop".
