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

Upon arriving at the entrance, Shen Ye leaned closer to the security camera at the door and took a look.

The screen lit up, revealing a figure standing outside the door.

The moment Shen Ye saw who it was, he froze on the spot.

Shock was written all over his face.

The visitor was none other than Chu Cihan, whom he had just parted ways with yesterday.

What is she doing here?!

Shen Ye was puzzled.

He had indeed considered that Chu Cihan might come back to him.

But that was just something he "thought about." In his mind, even if the two of them were to meet after the Ferris wheel ride, they would at least exchange a few words on their phones first, go through a few rounds of sarcastic banter, arrange a time and place, and then meet in person a day or two later.

The results of it?

They didn't follow any procedures at all.

They didn't even bother to say hello, they just blocked the door?!

That's way too fast!

Shen Ye thought things would at least calm down for a day or two...

"Knock knock knock!"

There was no sound from outside the door for a long time, so Chu Cihan knocked a few more times, this time with much more force, indicating that he was in a very bad mood.

If you don't open the door soon, I'm afraid I'll kick it down.

Shen Ye snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

Morning light streamed in through the door.

The boy and girl locked eyes.

Chu Cihan stood at the bottom of the steps, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her hair tied in a ponytail, clearly having left in a hurry.

There was a faint bluish-black ring under her eyes.

Judging from the looks of it, I didn't sleep very well after I got back yesterday.

The two stared at each other for a full two seconds.

Chu Cihan was the first to give in, shifting his gaze, gritting his teeth, and speaking with difficulty.

"...Why did it take you so long to open the door?"

"Aren't you welcoming me?"

The voice was still the same familiar tone, but there was something else hidden in the ending notes.

Annoyed? Or aggrieved?

I can't tell.

No, no.

Shen Ye quickly waved his hand.

"You didn't even send a message before you came, so I wasn't prepared at all..."

"You don't need to prepare anything."

Chu Cihan snorted.

She interrupted him decisively, and then just like that, she squeezed in from his side.

"Who's here?"

Hearing the noise at the door, Mu Jingyan came out of the living room with a water glass in her hand and peeked into the entryway.

He looked up.

He happened to meet Chu Cihan's gaze as she was changing her shoes.

"........."

The air freezes.

In the entryway, the two stood facing each other silently, neither of them speaking first.

One is his official girlfriend.

One is my childhood sweetheart, whom I just confessed to yesterday.

It was Mu Jingyan who broke the silence.

"Is there something you need?"

She spoke calmly, her tone devoid of emotion, holding her water glass with a relaxed posture.

"It's nothing, I just came to take a look."

Chu Cihan looked away, not wanting to get entangled with her any longer. He took off his shoes and walked into the house on his own.

Once inside, her eyes began to dart around.

The layout of the living room, the cushions on the sofa, the water glasses on the coffee table, the decorations on the wall, the direction of the staircase...

to be frank.

This was her first time entering Shen Ye's home.

I had passed by this door a few times before and even stood outside waiting for him, but I had never stepped inside.

Judging from the furnishings, it is indeed a very cozy two-story villa. The wooden floors and warm lighting exude a sense of home and comfort.

But Chu Cihan didn't come to look at houses today.

Are you alone?

She looked away and asked Xiang Mujingyan.

The question was asked casually, but the look in his eyes was anything but.

She was still reeling from what Shen Ye had said yesterday.

Mu Jingyan accepted Lin Chunuan.

This sentence swirled in her mind all night, becoming more and more absurd with each repetition.

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

Who is Mu Jingyan?

Born into a wealthy family, she was as proud as a peacock displaying its feathers, looking down on everyone. How could a girl like that tolerate her boyfriend being involved with other women?

Or is she the other person's sister?

Shen Ye might be lying to her, or there might be something she didn't understand.

After returning home, Chu Cihan tossed and turned, unable to figure it out.

So this morning, she simply came straight to their door.

Seeing is believing, after all.

She still found it hard to believe without seeing it for herself.

Mu Jingyan, on the other hand, roughly guessed her purpose from this question.

Are you here to verify something...?

Honestly, Shen Ye is such an unreliable guy; I have to clean up this mess...

With a sigh, Mu shrugged and pointed to the stairwell.

Huanhuan is still sleeping.

"Lin Chunuan's words..."

Her gaze slowly shifted to Shen Ye, becoming subtle.

After all, those things weren't really her thing to say...

You'll have to ask him.

"..."

Shen Ye picked up the water glass on the coffee table and pretended to drink water.

His eyes darted around, his main theme being "I can't hear, I can't see."

"You really agreed?!"

The next second, Chu Cihan couldn't care less about Lin Chunuan anymore.

She walked a few steps to Mu Jingyan and stood still, staring intently into her eyes, asking the question word by word.

"Lin Chunuan, have you really agreed to things with Shen Ye?"

Today, she must hear the answer herself.

Mu Jingyan did not dodge.

She took another sip of water from her cup, swallowed it, and then nodded, meeting Chu Cihan's gaze.

"Yes."

"I agree."

It was straightforward, efficient, and without any attempt to conceal anything.

"......"

Chu Cihan's pupils contracted slightly.

Seeing is believing, and what you hear is confirmed by the person in question.

She remained silent for a while.

The living room was so quiet that you could hear the air conditioner unit upstairs.

Seemingly surprised, yet also processing what she had been thinking, a few seconds later she finally asked the question that had been weighing on her mind all night.

Why?

"Someone like you..."

"I shouldn't have agreed to something like that."

This is something I really can't understand.

This is also what Chu Cihan finds most incomprehensible.

Her friendship with Mu Jingyan predates that of everyone else; they've known each other since childhood.

Therefore, she knew that although Mu Jingyan appeared to be a very calm and indifferent person, she was very strong-willed at heart, and her inner pride was no less than hers.

How could someone like that agree?

If even Mu Jingyan accepts it, then isn't the rule of this world wrong?

Upon hearing this question...

Mu Jingyan put down her cup.

The bottom of the cup tapped on the coffee table with a soft "thud".

She lowered her eyes, her gaze fixed on the shimmering water in the glass, and remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ye, standing to the side, huddled in the corner of the sofa, barely daring to breathe.

They dared not utter a sound.

After all, the two were talking about the things he had done.

At times like this, making any noise, or even just coughing...

The firepower was estimated to turn entirely towards him instantly.

When the time comes, all the old and new scores will be settled together, and he won't even know how he died.

So, I played dead.

The quieter you appear, the better.

Shen Ye remained silent, leaving only the breathing sounds of the two girls in the living room.

I waited for a long time.

Mu Jingyan's lips suddenly curved into a smile.

That smile contained helplessness, self-deprecation, and a hint of resigned acceptance.

She raised her eyes and looked at Chu Cihan.

"It might be because..."

"I like him so much..."

What kind of reason is that?!

Chu Cihan was even more confused.

If you like something, shouldn't it belong to you alone? Why share it with others?
