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

It’s over.

Lin Chunu instinctively used her arm to shield herself.

She could already imagine what it would be like if she fell, her arm scraped raw by the rough ground, with red beads of blood seeping out.

She has been a girl who is afraid of pain since she was a child. She would cry when she got a shot or when she fell down. Just imagining that burning sensation makes her eyes well up with tears.

But the expected bumps and stings never came.

Lin Chunuan felt as if she had fallen into a warm embrace.

The area where it was pressed was soft and warm, and it smelled of familiar laundry detergent.

It didn't hurt; instead, it gave me an indescribable sense of security, like when I was a child and ran into my mother's arms.

She slowly opened her eyes.

My vision gradually focused, and a face filled with worry was reflected in my pupils.

"Are you alright?"

Shen Ye's voice was hoarse; he had shouted "Go!" too loudly just now, and his throat hadn't recovered yet.

He ran over before Lin Chunuan reached the finish line, just to prevent any accidents.

"elder brother......"

Lin Chunuan looked at his face so close to hers, and her nose suddenly stung with tears.

She hadn't cried while running, but when she saw her brother's worried face, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was tinged with a hint of grievance.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Nuannuan did a great job."

Shen Ye supported her back with one hand and gently patted her shoulder with the other, his tone soft and gentle, as if to say, "You ran so many laps and overtook several people, that was really great."

"Brother—! Waaaaaah—"

Lin Chunuan could no longer hold back.

She cried and burrowed into his arms, her little hands tightly clutching the front of his shirt, her face buried in his chest.

A warm, damp sensation came from his chest, and Shen Ye knew it was Lin Chunuan's tears soaking his clothes.

He hugged his sister and patted her gently a few times, then glanced down and landed on her left ankle.

It swelled up, red and bright, a stark contrast to the fair skin next to it.

Shen Ye looked up at the teacher next to him who was in charge of recording grades: "Teacher, my sister twisted her ankle. I'll take her to the infirmary."

"Go ahead, remember to carry her on your back to avoid further injury." The teacher nodded and then continued writing the report card.

Shen Ye responded and then gently coaxed the person in his arms, "Be good, get up first, brother will carry you to the infirmary."

Lin Chunu lifted her face from his chest, her eyes still red, tears clinging to the tips of her eyelashes, and her nose tip flushed a light pink.

She sniffed, gave a muffled "hmm," and obediently released her grip on his clothes.

Shen Ye turned around and squatted down. The little girl leaned forward and wrapped her two thin arms around his neck.

Shen Ye used her thigh to stand up.

Lin Chunuan clung softly to his back, her chin resting in the crook of his shoulder, her breath brushing against his neck.

Her brother's back wasn't broad, but Lin Chunuan felt incredibly safe lying on it.

Shen Ye carried her for a while, and felt the breathing on his shoulder becoming more and more steady and long.

He turned his head slightly and glanced back. The little girl had her eyes closed, her little mouth slightly pouting, and she smacked her lips every now and then, as if she had already fallen asleep.

He chuckled softly, said nothing, and continued walking forward, his steps becoming more steady.

"Brother~"

A soft, drawn-out murmur suddenly came from my back, returning to that sticky, whiny tone from before.

"Um?"

"I'm sorry, Nuannuan shouldn't have ignored you."

Shen Ye paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, "Silly girl, if anyone should apologize, it should be your brother. What are you apologizing for?"

"It's different..." Lin Chunu mumbled, burying her face in his shoulder again, her voice muffled.

......

There was no one in the infirmary.

Shen Ye gently placed Lin Chunuan on the small bed against the wall, then turned around to rummage through the cabinet.

He opened the freezer, took out a bag of medical ice packs, and then found a clean towel to wrap the ice packs inside.

After finishing, I walked back to the bedside and squatted down.

"Stretch your foot out."

Lin Chunuan obediently stretched out her left foot and slowly began to untie her shoelaces.

"I'll do it."

"No!" Lin Chunuan shrank back suddenly, her face flushed red, and she held onto her shoelaces tightly.

"I'll take them off myself! I just finished running and I smell sweaty!"

"There aren't that many rules."

Shen Ye didn't give her a chance to resist at all. In no time, he stripped off her shoes and socks, exposing her fair little foot to the air.

Lin Chunuan blushed with embarrassment and covered her face with her hands, not daring to look at him.

My toes curled up involuntarily, as if trying to find a place to hide.

Shen Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

He looked down and saw a red, swollen patch on the outside of her ankle, which stood out starkly against the surrounding pale skin. He didn't seem to mind; he gently cradled her small foot in his hand and placed the ice pack on it.

"Hiss—" Lin Chunuan gasped, the ice pack was so cold when it touched her skin that her toes snapped.

"Bear with it, applying ice will reduce the swelling."

Shen Ye spoke softly, his hand firmly supporting her heel, placing the ice pack against the swollen area.

He lowered his head, staring intently at the redness and swelling on her ankle, his fingertips occasionally brushing lightly against the skin on the back of her foot to check if the temperature was suitable.

Lin Chunu peeked out from between her fingers and watched her brother carefully applying an ice pack to her, her heart pounding faster and faster.

She couldn't explain what that feeling was like.

Anyway, it's not quite the same as when my heart rate increases during a normal run.

Shen Ye didn't notice his sister's unusual behavior. He lowered his head, his gaze falling on her small, delicate, white foot, and his mind began to wander.

The arch of the foot is gentle, the toes are round and pink, the delicate skin has a thin layer of pink, and the fine blood vessels are faintly visible.

Her slender ankles fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, delicate and exquisite.

wrong!

Shen Ye suddenly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly shook his head.

What am I thinking?!

He took a deep breath and quickly looked away, but then felt that it was too deliberate, so he looked back down, pretending that he hadn't thought about anything.

"Brother, why is your face red?" Lin Chunuan asked, tilting her head as she peeked at his expression through her fingers.

"It's not red, it's hot," Shen Ye replied calmly, his hands moving steadily.

"oh..... "

Lin Chunuan didn't delve into it further and buried her face back in her hands.

Her little feet moved gently under the ice pack, feeling the warmth of her brother's palm seeping into the towel little by little, and the little knot in her heart completely melted away.

......

In the evening, the setting sun bathed the living room in a warm, orange-red hue.

As soon as Shen Ye got home, he went into his room and started rummaging through drawers and cabinets, seemingly looking for something.

Lin Chunu followed him with a limp, leaning against the door frame, watching curiously as her brother bent over and rummaged through the bottom of the wardrobe.

"Brother, what are you going to show me?"

"this."

Shen Ye pulled out a transparent glass jar from the bottom and turned to put it in her hand.

The jar was heavy, and the colorful candies inside were squeezed together, making a rustling sound as they collided.

Lin Chunuan held the jar up to her eyes with both hands, looking through the glass at the candies inside. There were fruit hard candies, filled soft candies, and colorful lollipops, like a small piece of a shattered rainbow.

"This is...candy?" She looked up at him, her eyes slightly brightening.

"Um."

Shen Ye scratched the back of his head, turned his head to avoid her gaze, and said in a slightly hesitant tone, "Although you have forgiven me, I still need to prepare an apology."

"There are 365 candies in this jar. If you eat one every day, you'll finish them in a year."

"It means we'll never be apart, 365 days a year."

Lin Chunuan held the jar and listened quietly as he finished speaking.

My arms felt heavy, and the candies, warm to the touch through the glass, were hard to tell whether from the setting sun or something else.

She sniffed and muttered something under her breath.

"My brother is so stupid..."

Then she lowered her head and hugged the jar tightly to her chest. "Then... Nuannuan will accept it."

Shen Ye looked at her eyes and brows, which had been hanging in suspense for almost half a month, and finally settled back into her belly.

But the next second, he thought of someone else.

That person was still angry with him.

And the contact information is still on the blacklist.
