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

Chapter 65 Night Roads and Secrets

Going to bed early is out of the question.

That brat Chu Cihan, she dragged him out again to be a laborer.

"Won't your aunt and uncle say something if you go home so late?"

Shen Ye looked up at the full moon overhead. The moon hung high, its edges so clean it looked as if someone had cut it with a knife.

The streetlights cast his shadow long and slanted, while Chu Cihan's shadow was next to his, the two shadows overlapping slightly on the ground.

Taking a walk under the moon with a beautiful girl sounds like a very romantic thing.

But Shen Ye didn't want this kind of romance at all.

He'd rather go back and play some games and then go to sleep.

"No, there are bodyguards with me anyway."

Chu Cihan pointed to a car that had been following the two of them for about twenty or thirty meters.

"oh."

Shen Ye nodded, then turned around and realized—

"Wait a minute! Then why did you ask me to take you?!"

"This is a scam!"

Chu Cihan covered his mouth and chuckled mischievously.

"Oh, it's just walking a short distance, what's there to complain about? So many people want to walk with me but can't find a chance, and you're not happy about it?"

Then, with a graceful leap, the girl turned around in mid-air and landed steadily in front of Shen Ye. Her loose black hair brushed against Shen Ye's nose, carrying a faint fragrance.

She stretched out her slender index finger and pointed it at Shen Ye's nose.

"And don't forget your place! It's an honor for a slave like you to accompany me on a walk!"

Shen Ye looked at Chu Cihan with dead fish eyes and replied with a "hehe".

"Hmph, talking to you is so boring, you have no emotional value whatsoever." Chu Cihan curled his lip.

"It's not as good as before."

"Then why don't you time travel?" Shen Ye took out a candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, stuffed it into his mouth, and crunched it to pieces.

"I want some too!"

"That's all, just this one."

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Chu Cihan grabbed Shen Ye's head with both hands and shook it from side to side with such force that it felt like he was trying to shake his brains evenly.

Shen Ye was so dizzy from her glare that he shook off her hand forcefully and took a step back, annoyed. "I kindly took you this far, and instead of being grateful, you try to harm me!"

"I'm going back. You can go on your own."

He tossed his head, pretending to leave.

Chu Cihan panicked and grabbed Shen Ye's arm, pulling him back.

"Don't go! Stay with me a little longer!"

She used both her hands and feet to hold Shen Ye firmly in place.

"A thousand meters at most."

"good!"

Under the dim streetlights, the two walked side by side again. The canopies of the camphor trees on both sides of the road stretched out, and moonlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, spreading a layer of dappled light on the sidewalk.

"Mu Jingyan is your deskmate, right?" Chu Cihan suddenly said.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"You don't have any inappropriate relationship with her, do you?" The girl glanced at him warily.

"What are you saying? We're just classmates, what could possibly be between us?"

"That's good."

Her mention of it prompted Shen Ye to recall his interactions with Mu Jingyan since the start of the semester.

"Um, don't you think Mu Jingyan is acting a little strange?" Shen Ye asked.

"What's strange about it?"

"It's just... I feel like I've become more serious, not as... lively as before?" Shen Ye said uncertainly.

Chu Cihan stroked his chin, thought carefully for a moment, and replied, "Indeed."

"It must be a problem with her family. I heard from my mother that Mu Jingyan comes from a single-parent family, and her mother is very, very strict. She might have been influenced by that."

"We used to argue a lot, but now she hardly talks to me anymore."

Chu Cihan was also puzzled by the changes in her childhood playmates.

Although the two of them used to be at odds, it was just childish play in the end.

"So now that you've run out of people to bicker with, you've set your sights on my mom?" Shen Ye teased.

"She provoked me first!"

......

Teachers' apartments.

Lin Chunuan lay on the table with a worried expression.

My brother has been seduced by that bad girl Chu Cihan again.

Unfortunately, she couldn't argue with them and could only watch helplessly as her brother was taken away.

The thought of Chu Cihan laughing and joking with her brother while she was stuck sitting on the sidelines was unbearable.

Lin Chunuan clenched her small fists involuntarily.

She stood up dejectedly, thought for a moment, and walked towards her brother's room.

Opening the door, the messy bed came into view, and some details of the epic battle that had just taken place became clear again.

Lin Chunuan lay on her side on Shen Ye's bed.

Strands of hair fell across her face, revealing only her somewhat dim eyes.

"Buzzing—"

The sound of her phone vibrating caught her attention.

Didn't your brother take his phone with him?

She propped herself up and picked up her brother's phone, which was on the bedside table.

The screen showed a long string of mysterious numbers sent to the brother by someone named "Liu Gaoyuan".

She knew Liu Gaoyuan; he was her brother's good friend.

But what is this link?

Lin Chunuan knew the phone's password and unlocked it easily.

Then she clicked on the link sent to her by the other party.

The screen flipped through various formats, eventually switching to a page resembling an anime series.

"The Sky of Fate?"

Lin Chunuan murmured to herself.

What is this?

Is it an animated film?

Just then, Liu Gaoyuan sent another message—

[Old Shen, this animation has profound educational value; you'll definitely gain a lot from watching it.]

Educational significance?

This further fueled Lin Chunuan's curiosity.

So she clicked on the animation and started watching it seriously.

Is it a story about a brother and sister?

This suits her taste perfectly.

Lin Chunuan continued reading.

First, the conversations between the siblings became increasingly intimate, then there were more and more scenes of physical contact, and at one point, Lin Chunuan froze completely.

She instinctively covered her face with her hands, peeking through her fingers with wide eyes.

What are all these?

Is this even possible?

Lin Chunuan's worldview was turned upside down.

Why does my brother want to watch this kind of thing?

Her fingers trembled as she exited the video, quickly turned off her phone screen, slammed it back in its place, then sprang up from the bed and ran back to her room.

This is so...so embarrassing!

Lin Chunuan turned the air conditioner down to its lowest setting, buried herself in the blankets, and blushed as if she were burning up.

......

Shen Ye returned after seeing Chu Cihan off.

The originally agreed-upon kilometer distance was doubled due to the girl's persistent pleading.

It took him almost half an hour to walk back.

The door opened, and the room was pitch black.

He then looked towards his sister's room—a sliver of light was still seeping through the crack in the door.

"Nuan Nuan, go to bed early," Shen Ye knocked on the door and reminded her.

no respond.

He knocked a few more times before a muffled reply came from inside.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go to sleep right away."
