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

Chapter 258 Beg Me

From that day onward.

Shen Ye then discovered that the little girl named Chu Cihan was quite different from what her classmates were saying.

Everyone says she doesn't like to talk.

But when facing Shen Ye, Chu Cihan had so much to say.

What she talks about after class, what she talks about on the way home from school, even something as trivial as "the tomato and egg stir-fry in the cafeteria was too salty today," she can break it down and talk about it for five minutes straight, until the school bell rings, and she still doesn't want to stop.

Even after getting home, things don't calm down.

As soon as dinner was finished, her QQ avatar flashed in Shen Ye's contact list.

[During PE class today, someone tripped and fell flat on their backside while running. It cracked me up!]

[Teacher's new skirt is so ugly today, don't you think?]

【Are you there】

Why aren't you replying?

Are you asleep?

【Oh】

As a child, Shen Ye didn't understand much. After reading it, he would reply with one sentence and then go to sleep.

The next morning, he would usually be greeted with an impatient "You haven't replied to my messages all night, are you dead?"

People say she's cold and abusive.

But she never "bullied" Shen Ye.

in contrast.

During class, a small hand would always reach out from the back row and quietly stuff preserved plums, milk candies, and cookies into Shen Ye's desk drawer.

"Hmph, I can't eat it, so you're getting a good deal." The little girl replied confidently, her delicate features clearly saying, "I'm not giving it to you."

The only drawback might be that he says one thing but means another.

In the five years before Shen Ye transferred schools.

Chu Cihan can be considered his best friend.

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

Let's go back to the present.

As the sun sets, the small fields in the Labor Practice Park are bathed in a warm golden light.

Chu Cihan did not disturb Shen Ye's memories and stood quietly to the side.

She watched the expression on his face, from bewilderment to shock, and then to sudden realization.

The girl's lips curved into a smile.

It seems she's remembered.

"How is it?"

She spoke in a lazy tone, her chin slightly raised—a typical Chu-style tone.

"I've been with you for so many years, aren't you touched?"

"A little..."

Shen Ye rubbed his nose.

Eleven years, from age seven to eighteen, the first friend on my QQ contact list...

He had to acknowledge these past relationships no matter what.

"but--"

He raised his head.

"What are you trying to achieve by saying all this?"

I asked the question.

After going around in circles all day and laying the groundwork for so long, it's time for her to reveal her hand.

The smile on Chu Cihan's face slowly disappeared.

Inch by inch, it eventually transforms into seriousness.

She turned around to face Shen Ye and took a deep breath.

"Shen Ye."

I'm giving you a chance now.

"I'll go back with you if you beg me."

"Just beg me—"

Her voice paused, then she spoke each word clearly and distinctly.

"I don't care about Mu Jingyan and Lin Chunuan anymore."

The wind blew from the vegetable seedlings, carrying the scent of soil and grass.

"Just beg me."

"It's that simple."

"........."

Shen Ye stood there, stunned.

At first glance, this request sounds like Chu Cihan has finally given up.

She took all the conditions, not asking him to explain, not asking him to make a statement, not asking him to give any explanation to Mu Jingyan and Chu Nuan—just one sentence, one "please," and she would agree.

Everything was easily resolved.

The threshold was so low it reached the floor.

The girl opposite him had her arms crossed over her chest—the exact same pose she had when she was seven years old and asked for his QQ number. Her chin was raised, but her eyes were fixed on him, unblinking.

Waiting for him to speak.

More than a decade has passed, but the girl is still the same girl, her personality hasn't changed at all.

"........."

But she hasn't changed; Shen Ye has.

He won't be like before, readily agreeing to ask for favors after just a few words.

Shen Ye stared at Chu Cihan and remained silent for a few seconds.

Then.......

"I'm sorry..."

"I can't do it."

The wind has stopped.

Chu Cihan's raised chin froze.

Why?

Her voice was low and steady, but her fingertips curled tightly inside her sleeve.

"Didn't you say you liked me?"

"If you like me so much, can't you even beg me?"

"It's not that I don't want to ask!!"

Shen Ye shook his head.

"It's not that I can't ask you for help, I just feel that I shouldn't do it this way."

"Chu Cihan, what does 'begging you' mean? Does it mean I kneel down, lay out my troubles for you, soften your heart, and make you pay for my mess...?"

"This is not liking."

"They're using past relationships as leverage to force you to comply."

Women's eyesight.

"You like me. But even so, you have many choices; you don't have to be with me. If you turn around and leave now, your grades, family background... so many things are there for you to consider. Your future will still be bright, and you don't have to choose me."

"But if you had to choose me—"

"I hope you did it voluntarily."

"Instead of this kind of forced approach, which is coercive for both of us."

"The answer you get by asking for it will bother you every time you think about it, and you might regret it later."

"I don't want that."

Shen Ye has always known that he is a scumbag.

I'm sorry, Mu Jingyan; I'm sorry, Nuannuan; and I'm sorry to the girl in front of me.

He was greedy and wanted to keep them all by his side, not letting any of them go.

But if the premise is coercion, pressure, or using emotions as shackles, then he would rather let go.

Even though the girl in front of him could be considered his childhood sweetheart.

"....."

The setting sun sank inch by inch.
