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

Chapter 34 The Cultivation Ground at the School Gate

Sports meet?

Shen Ye looked at the homeroom teacher on the podium, spitting as he spoke, and his head sank lower and lower.

"This sports meet is jointly organized by the grade level, and every class must have full participation, registering for at least one event..."

Liu Xiaolu held the registration form and glanced at the whole class.

"The sports committee member will hand out the forms. Everyone, please fill them out quickly and hand them in tomorrow morning."

The moment the words were spoken, the classroom erupted in chaos.

"I want to participate in the relay!"

"Long jump! Long jump! I'm amazing at the long jump!"

"Anyone want to sign up for tug-of-war with me?"

Shen Ye huddled in his seat and silently pushed the registration form to the corner of the table.

trouble.

Too much trouble.

Running makes you sweat, long jump requires sun exposure, and relays require waiting for others to coordinate.

He just wanted to be a quiet spectator and applaud his classmates.

Besides, if I actually went in, wouldn't that be just stomping on noobs?

"Brother, brother!"

Lin Chunu peeked her head out from the front, her little face full of excitement.

What project did you sign up for?

"No report."

"Huh? Why didn't you sign up?" Lin Chunu blinked her big eyes. "The sports meet is so much fun!"

"Too much trouble."

Shen Ye yawned and lazily lay on the table.

"And what about you? What did you apply for?"

"I..." Lin Chunu hesitated for a moment, her small hands clutching the corner of the registration form, "I registered for the 800 meters."

"Eight hundred meters?"

Shen Ye looked up at her, somewhat surprised.

This little girl usually loves to eat, sleep, and act spoiled; she doesn't seem like the type to actively challenge herself with long-distance running.

"Are you sure? Eight hundred meters is not a short distance."

"Yes, I'm sure!"

Lin Chunuan puffed out her chest, looking serious.

"I've been running really fast in PE class lately, and the teacher says I have a talent! And...and I want to try it out too, I can't always rely on my brother to protect me, I want to become better too!"

Her eyes sparkled as she said this.

It was as if they had made some incredible decision.

Shen Ye looked at her for a few seconds, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, good luck then."

"Yes, yes! Big brother, you must come watch my match!"

"understood."

......

At 4:30 p.m., the school bell rang on time.

Shen Ye packed his schoolbag and stood up when a small figure sidled up to him.

"Brother~"

Lin Chunuan tugged at his sleeve, her voice as soft as honey, "How about you carry Nuannuan home?"

Shen Ye looked down at her. The little girl looked up, her eyes sparkling, and a flattering smile on her lips.

"Didn't you say you were going to run 800 meters? You don't even want to walk this little bit?" Shen Ye teased.

"Oh, that's different... I'm tired~"

Lin Chunuan said matter-of-factly, "Nuannuan was so focused in class today, she used up all her brain cells, and now her legs are too weak to walk!"

"That's a rather novel reason. What do brain cells have to do with legs?"

"Please, just once!"

Lin Chunuan gently swayed his arm, almost hanging on him.

Unable to resist her shaking, Shen Ye sighed and squatted down.

"Come up."

"yeah!"

Lin Chunu cheered and nimbly climbed onto his back, wrapping her little arms around his neck.

Shen Ye lifted her little bottom, stood up, and walked towards the school gate.

Lin Chunuan lay on her brother's back, her chin resting on his shoulder, her little face full of satisfaction and pride.

"My brother is the best!"

Don't give me that crap, just walk by yourself next time.

Hehe~

The setting sun cast its last rays onto the school path, stretching the two figures into long shadows. Passing students, seeing this, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Wow, Shen Ye is so good to his sister!"

"I wish I had a brother like that..."

Shen Ye pretended not to hear and continued walking forward. Lin Chunuan, on the other hand, heard everything clearly, raised her little head, and was extremely proud of herself.

Hmph, envious, aren't you? This is Nuan Nuan's "own" brother!

The two walked out of the school gate chatting and laughing.

Shen Ye was about to turn in the direction of home when he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the sycamore tree next to the school gate.

His steps suddenly stopped.

A girl was standing under the sycamore tree.

A light blue dress, its hem gently billowing in the evening breeze. Long, jet-black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her delicate features were framed with a soft golden glow in the sunset.

She crossed her arms over her chest, her chin slightly raised, a half-smile playing on her lips, and stared intently at him.

Is the Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) cold?

A big question mark instantly popped into Shen Ye's mind.

What is she doing here?

Chu Cihan strolled over leisurely, stopped in front of him, and looked up at him.

"Shen Ye, it's been a long time."

His voice carried a hint of lazy smugness.

"What are you doing at our school? Shouldn't school have just let out?"

Shen Ye asked.

"This school is owned by my family, so I can let students leave whenever I want."

Chu Cihan raised an eyebrow and said smugly, "I just happened to feel like checking on the slaves' condition."

Ha ha.

If you want to talk to me, just say so directly, instead of being so tactful.

She really is a stubborn tsundere.

Before Shen Ye could reply, Lin Chunuan on his back had already raised her head alertly.

"Who are you?"

The sound was crisp and carried a distinctly unfriendly tone.

Chu Cihan finally shifted his gaze from Shen Ye to the little girl on his back.

She only just discovered this person.

"And who are you?"

Chu Cihan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Why is this girl allowed to ride on Shen Ye's back?!

Even I haven't done that!

Chu Cihan's heart was in turmoil.

"I'm his sister!"

Lin Chunuan tightened her grip on Shen Ye's neck, as if asserting her ownership, "Who are you? Why are you looking for my brother?"

"younger sister?"

Chu Cihan pondered for a moment, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Shen Ye did mention that he has a younger sister living in his current home.

Tch, so that's why she got Shen Ye to carry her on his back.

"My little sister—"

Chu Cihan deliberately emphasized the word "younger sister," his tone carrying a subtle hint of disdain.

That's blatant provocation.

Lin Chunuan exploded instantly.

"What do you mean! I'm your brother's sister!"

"Is that so—?"

Chu Cihan slowly walked around to Shen Ye's side, his gaze sweeping over Lin Chunuan with interest. "You and Shen Ye, one has the surname Shen, and the other has the surname Lin. What kind of siblings are you?"

Lin Chunuan was speechless.

She opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that she couldn't say anything at all.

This is a hurdle she can never get over in her heart.

My brother's surname is not Lin.

But she is Shen Ye's sister! No one can question that!

Little did Lin Chunuan know that she would later be incredibly relieved that the two were not biological siblings.

"My brother and I are none of your business!"

Lin Chunuan's face flushed red with anger. "Go away! We want to go home!"

"Hmph, why are you leaving? I haven't finished speaking yet."

Chu Cihan didn't move an inch, but instead took a step forward, looking directly at Shen Ye. "I'm here today because I have something important to tell you."

"What is it?"

Shen Ye had a vague sense of foreboding.

"Come to my house this weekend."

Chu Cihan smoothed a stray strand of hair, her cheeks slightly flushed. "My parents want to meet you. I've mentioned you to them; they want to see what kind of friends I make."

Of course, she couldn't reveal that she had been so enthusiastic about praising Shen Ye in front of her parents.

How embarrassing!

"No!"

Lin Chunuan exploded; she practically yelled it out, drawing the attention of passing classmates.

"Why should my brother go to your house?!"

Chu Cihan's smile faded slightly. She turned to look at Lin Chunuan, her eyes turning cold.

"Why are you interrupting me when I'm talking to Shen Ye?"

"I'm his sister! I have the right to interfere!"

Chu Ci sneered, "So, a younger sister can control her brother's freedom to make friends? Your family has quite a few rules."

"you--!"

Lin Chunuan was trembling with anger. She wriggled off Shen Ye's back, stood on the ground, stood in front of Shen Ye, and glared at Chu Cihan with her small face upturned.

"No matter who you are, your brother isn't going to your house!"

"Oh?"

Chu Cihan raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice, "Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Shen Ye, is that so?"

Chu Cihan's gaze passed over Lin Chunuan and landed directly on Shen Ye's face, his eyes practically overflowing with threat.

If you dare say no, you're dead!

Chu Ci felt a chill in his heart.

Shen Ye was sandwiched between the two of them, feeling utterly overwhelmed.

"Well..."

"elder brother!"

Lin Chunuan turned around abruptly, her eyes already reddening. "You're not allowed to go!"
