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

As the sun set, only two silhouettes illuminated by the city lights remained in the cabin.

Chu Cihan's hand was still being held in Shen Ye's hand.

Scalding hot, slightly sweaty, clenched tightly, as if loosening even an inch would cause all the courage of the past ten years to leak away.

Shen Ye remained silent.

Chu Cihan likes herself.

Shen Ye actually knew about this a long time ago.

After all, the other party's actions from childhood to adulthood have been far too obvious.

Speaking of which, Chu Cihan is the girl he has known the longest.

They were classmates when they were seven years old and in the first grade of elementary school.

From age seven to eighteen, eleven years.

He was five years older than his sister, Lin Chunuan.

Therefore, he and Chu Cihan can truly be described as childhood sweethearts.

Shen Ye's feelings for Chu Cihan are complicated.

Perhaps because they grew up together, he considered each other more as his best friends. Just like Nuannuan, whom he used to see as a younger sister.

But once you find out that the other person likes you, it's hard to maintain the same attitude you have towards a friend.

Every time she came closer, every time she whined and mumbled insincerely, it took on a different meaning.

Now, Chu Cihan has made his point even clearer.

The imperative declaration of love resounded powerfully at the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

So, do I like Chu Cihan?

Shen Ye asked himself this question.

like.

Although he always complained about her, complaining about her arrogance and her hypocrisy.

But he was happy every time he saw her getting closer to him and finding new ways to play with him every day.

The little things in everyday life don't lie.

But the problem is...

His situation is too complicated.

Mu Jingyan, Nuannuan.

He has a legitimate girlfriend and a younger sister with whom he had a one-night stand. Although they have now resolved their differences and even tacitly accept each other's existence, they don't object to him continuing this way.

But that only means they don't object.

Where is the chill in the Chu Ci?

What will she think?

Given that guy's personality, will he be so angry that he jumps up and down on the spot, or will he turn around and leave crying, or... something else?

he does not know.

It is precisely because it is unknown that this is what worries him the most.

The silence inside the elevator car stretched on and on, second by second.

Chu Cihan held his hand, her initial anticipation turning into tension, but she gradually sensed something was wrong.

Shen Ye did not answer.

This guy, surprisingly, didn't jokingly avoid the conversation as usual, nor did he agree.

He lowered his eyes.

This expression sent a surge of bad premonition through the girl opposite her.

"......"

"Um, Chu Cihan."

Shen Ye finally spoke.

Her brows were lowered, and her voice was very soft.

really.

Shen Ye's next words dealt her a crushing blow.

"I'm already with Mu Jingyan..."

"..."

Inside the cabin, it was so quiet you could hear each other breathing.

Chu Cihan's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

My eyes stung first, and a surge of heat welled up uncontrollably.

What...?

She had prepared meticulously for so long, mustered the greatest courage of her life, and overcome her proud nature before finally saying, "I command you to be with me."

result.

This was the answer I got in return...

"When?"

After a long while, she sniffed, her voice trembling uncontrollably, and asked in broken sentences.

"I confessed my feelings to her the night after the college entrance exam ended."

Shen Ye didn't hide anything.

He didn't hide anything from Nuannuan, and he didn't need to hide it from Chu Cihan either.

"You confessed your feelings to her...?"

Chu Cihan keenly grasped the key words.

It wasn't Mu Jingyan who confessed her feelings to him.

It was Shen Ye who took the initiative to confess his love to Jing Yan.

This is undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

She took the initiative, while Mu Jingyan did the opposite.

It was Shen Ye who pursued her and confessed his feelings.

Why should I...?

Even though I was the first one there, I lost to the last one.

Chu Cihan finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Large tears fell from her eyes, landing on her skirt and spreading a small dark patch.

She cried so hard she lost all composure, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and she could barely speak.

"Then, since you're like this..."

"Why, why did you still come out with me...?"

"Don't you know... the meaning of riding a Ferris wheel with a girl...?"

"I know."

Shen Ye said.

He raised his hand, wanting to wipe away her tears.

"Smack."

Chu Cihan slapped his wrist away forcefully.

She turned her head away, tears streaming down her face, and cried even harder.

"Then why did you come?"

"Are you trying to make a fool of me?!"

She suddenly turned her head and glared at him fiercely.

This was probably the fiercest glare she had ever given someone in her life.

His eyes were red and his face was streaked with tears; even his fierceness was broken and disjointed.

"no."

Shen Ye shook his head.

Then, under Chu Cihan's extremely angry gaze, he said the words that left her stunned on the spot.

I came because I like you too.

"..."

ha?

Chu Cihan's sob caught in her throat.

The little expression that was originally crying and panting was frozen there.

Tears still clung to her eyelashes, her mouth slightly open, as if she'd forgotten to close it.

What did Shen Ye just say?

He...he likes her too?

But isn't he with Mu Jingyan?

He likes her, yet he's with Mu Jingyan?

What kind of logic is this?

The girl's CPU burned out; it spun for ages but couldn't print a single word.

Before she could finish restarting, Shen Ye spoke first.

Since we've already come this far, let's get to the point.

"I'm with Mu Jingyan, that's right."

"But...it's not just her."

Shen Ye paused.

"Nuan Nuan too..."

"!!!"

These words were completely beyond Chu Cihan's comprehension.

Lin Chunuan?

She, she and Shen Ye?!

The amount of information is too large, exceeding the current configuration's capacity limit.

Chu Cihan completely lost her composure.

Her eyes were still wide open, tears were still hanging in her eyes, and she had forgotten how to breathe. She remained frozen in that half-sobbing position in the Ferris wheel cabin.

The cabin descended slowly.

The city lights rose one by one from beneath my feet back into view.

For a long, long time.

She finally came to her senses.

Then, the way she looked at Shen Ye changed.

From sadness, to confusion, and then... disgust.

The disdain was written all over their faces.

"A two-timing scumbag..."

Chu Cihan murmured.

She pulled her hand back and rubbed it hard on her skirt twice, as if she had handled something dirty.

Shen Ye: "..."

Okay, that assessment is very accurate, and he can't refute it.

"Then, then you—"

After recovering, Chu Cihan sobbed and pointed at Shen Ye's nose.

Tears still clung to her face, but her spirit had already been rekindled.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell Mu Jingyan?!"

She gritted her teeth, looking threatening.

Shen Ye responded calmly and nonchalantly.

"She knows."

"......ah?"

Chu Cihan's threat stalled.

"Mu Jingyan knows."

Shen Ye repeated it.

"She knows everything. She knows about Nuannuan's situation, and she agreed to it."

Chu Cihan was completely stunned.

His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time.

Does Mu Jingyan know?

Acquiesced?!

Her worldview shattered into pieces.

half an hour.

She asked the question, trembling and incredulous.

"Then why are you telling me all this..."

"You want me to do the same?!"
