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

It was a little past six in the evening. In November, darkness falls quickly, and the night had already quietly enveloped the entire neighborhood.

The last rays of sunlight faded completely, and the streetlights along the streets lit up one after another, casting warm yellow light on the road.

Shen raised his hand and pushed open the door. As soon as he stepped into the foyer, a force suddenly rushed towards him.

He instinctively tightened his body, and with a quick movement of his arms, he caught the small figure that was rushing towards him in his embrace.

Looking down, I saw it was Lin Chunuan.

The little girl's eyes were tightly closed, her long eyelashes drooped, and her chest rose and fell gently; she had clearly fallen asleep against the door frame.

It seemed they had been waiting for me for a long time, and only took a nap because they couldn't stay awake any longer.

"Hmm..."

Startled by the sudden shaking, Lin Chunuan pouted slightly and let out a soft, sweet hum.

She slowly lifted her eyelids, her eyes still misty with sleep, her gaze hazy.

Upon recognizing that the person holding her was Shen Ye, the little girl didn't hesitate and softly called out, "Brother~"

As soon as she finished speaking, she instinctively tightened her arms around Shen Ye, clinging to him and not wanting to let go for a second.

Clearly, the sleepiness hadn't completely worn off, and the person felt languid and lethargic.

Shen Ye gently supported her small body and said helplessly, "Why did you fall asleep by the door? What if you catch a cold?"

It's still quite chilly in the entryway; sleeping here for too long could easily make you catch a cold.

Lin Chunuan nestled in his arms and rubbed against him, not replying, but just holding him tighter.

Soft footsteps came from inside the house, and Xu Muwan, wearing an apron, came out of the living room.

Seeing the two embracing in the entryway, a gentle smile appeared on her face, followed by a hint of worry.

"Xiaoye, you're finally back! Why are you so late? Did everything go smoothly on the way?"

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's alright." Shen Ye nodded gently and answered truthfully, "My friend drove me to the entrance of the community."

Hearing that someone would be picking her up and dropping her off, Xu Muwan felt relieved.

She stepped forward, reached out and straightened Lin Chunuan's messy braids, and reminded her, "Next time you go out with your friends, remember to come home early. If you stay out late, send a message home so I can come pick you up."

"I understand," Shen Ye replied obediently.

During a brief moment of conversation between the two, Lin Chunuan, who had been dozing off, suddenly stiffened.

The drowsy feeling vanished instantly.

She suddenly raised her head, her big, round eyes fixed on Shen Ye's face.

After confirming that it really was her brother who came home late, the little girl didn't say a word and stuck her head forward.

"Thump!"

A muffled thud was heard.

Lin Chunuan delivered a rocket-like headbutt, slamming it squarely into Shen Ye's chin.

"Awooo—!"

The sudden impact made Shen Ye gasp in pain, instinctively covering his chin and wincing in pain.

He was completely unprepared for this little girl's sudden attack and had no defenses whatsoever.

"Why did you bump into me?" Shen Ye was both angry and helpless.

Lin Chunuan broke free from his embrace, stood to the side, put her hands firmly on her hips, and kept a straight face.

His eyes were wide open, filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.

Why didn't you bring Nuannuan with you when you went out to play?

Her tone was accusatory, making it clear that this matter wouldn't be over until she received a satisfactory answer today.

Shen Ye rubbed his aching chin and patiently explained, "I'm meeting up with some friends from my old school. You don't know any of them, and it would be boring to bring you there."

"So what if we're friends!" Lin Chunu pouted, looking Shen Ye up and down with suspicion in her eyes. "We don't need that kind of thing at all. Brother only needs Nuannuan!"

She spoke with great seriousness, her little face filled with possessiveness.

In her heart, Shen Ye should be with her at all times, and she shouldn't spend even a little time with anyone else.

Xu Mu, who was listening from the side, didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She stepped forward and gently patted her daughter's shoulder, advising, "Silly child, everyone needs to have their own friends. You'll be lonely if you don't have any."

"I don't care!" Lin Chunuan turned her head away stubbornly, refusing to listen to any advice.

This little girl is spoiled; once she's made up her mind, it's impossible to change it overnight.

Xu Muwan sighed helplessly and turned to look at her: "Look, you bumped into Brother Xiaoye and hurt him so much. Quickly apologize to him."

Reminded by her mother, Lin Chunuan subconsciously looked at Shen Ye.

Seeing the other person clutching their chin and looking pained, she felt a pang of guilt.

Her face flushed slightly, she tugged at the hem of her clothes, and was about to say sorry.

But just then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Shen Yekong's delicate wrist.

The red safety bracelet that I had painstakingly woven and stayed up all night to make had vanished without a trace.

Her apologetic face, which had been contorted just a moment ago, instantly darkened completely.

The cheerful atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by a low-pressure feeling that slowly emanated from the little girl.

Lin Chunuan slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on Shen Ye, and spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone as flat as an emotionless little robot: "Brother, where's the bracelet I gave you?"

A bracelet?

Shen Ye put his hands into his pockets and rummaged around, his fingertips only touching something cold.

The pocket was quiet and still; there was no trace of the half-finished hair tie.

Shen Ye's heart skipped a beat.

Oops!

It must have been lost somewhere today!

Seeing Shen Ye's evasive expression, Lin Chunu already knew the answer in her heart.

She slowly lowered her head, her bangs obscuring most of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

The aura around him grew colder and colder, and his small body stood still, motionless.

Those who know her well know that this is the prelude to the little girl getting truly angry.

"Warm, warm, don't be angry." Shen Ye forced a smile and said, "I was wearing it when I went out today, but I must have accidentally lost it halfway through. I don't know where it fell..."

Losing a handmade gift would upset anyone, let alone someone as possessive as Lin Chunuan.

"elder brother......"

Lin Chunu murmured softly, slowly moving her feet towards Shen Ye step by step.

Shen Ye's heart was pounding wildly.

He stood there, his mind racing, trying to think of a way to salvage the situation.

An apology won't do any good; this little girl is furious right now.

But the bracelet has been lost, and it's impossible to get an identical one in a short time.

Just then, his fingertips suddenly touched a cold object in his pocket.

It's the silver bracelet that Chu Ci just gave me!

Shen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up—

Got it!

I'm sorry, Chu Cihan, I can only borrow your help for now to save the day.

Forgetting all feelings of guilt, Shen Ye quickly took out the glittering silver bracelet from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chunuan.

He forced a kind smile: "Losing the bracelet was my fault, and I've prepared a gift as compensation, how about that?"
