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

"Okay, then the contract is settled."

Mu Jingyan held the "Letter of Commitment" and looked at it again and again, a slight smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.

She quickly realized her lapse in composure, immediately straightened her face, and coughed lightly.

Then, I carefully folded the paper and put it into the innermost layer of my schoolbag.

Judging from her actions, Shen Ye guessed that if there was a safe at the scene, the paper would probably be lying inside.

"Satisfied now?" He turned his head to the side, propped his elbow on the table, and pressed his palm against his cheek, speaking in a lazy tone.

"Barely enough." Mu Jingyan turned her back and zipped up her backpack.

After she finished, she turned around and glanced at Shen Ye and her own table—

A thick stack of books sat between the two desks, forming a low wall that effectively separated the two spaces.

"Since we're going to be study partners, it's reasonable to remove the obstacles to facilitate learning and communication, right?"

"Yes, that makes perfect sense."

Mu Jingyan acted immediately, rolling up her sleeves and slipping her fingers into the gap at the bottom of the stack of books. With a sudden burst of strength, she tried to lift the entire stack of books away in one go.

"Hey—"

The girl had used all her strength, but sitting down made it difficult to exert any force.

It's class time now, and she can't possibly stand up.

"With your skinny arms and legs, all you can do is hold a pen." Shen Ye not only didn't help her, but also mocked her from the side.

He grinned and stretched out a hand, his palm loosely enveloping Mu Jingyan's wrist. He placed his index finger and thumb above her wrist bone, and the two fingers actually joined together without even touching her skin.

"Tsk tsk, you're all height and no muscle, are you going to be a skinny god?"

"What is the 'Pork Rib God of War'?" Mu Jingyan frowned as she looked at him, her intuition telling her that this was definitely not a good title.

"It's just..." Shen Ye thought for a moment, "...when you take off your clothes, your ribs are clearly visible."

What he saw was his good brother's emaciated upper body.

But Mu Jingyan clearly misunderstood.

She shrank back against the wall, her back pressed against it, arms crossed over her chest, glaring at him through gritted teeth: "Shameless!"

The girl's face was rosy, and her jaw was clenched.

The scene I had witnessed earlier flashed through my mind again...

His gaze unconsciously shifted, looking towards Shen Ye's waist and abdomen.

"Holy crap, what are you looking at?!"

Unpleasant memories resurfaced, and Shen Ye hastily turned around.

"Damn it, you call me a hooligan? I think you're the real hooligan!"

"No, no!" Mu Jingyan hurriedly waved her hands, sweat beading on her forehead.

She wanted to explain, but it was too late.

Miao Yongmei, who had been patiently waiting on the podium for a long time, finally slammed the chalk down on the podium.

"Shen Ye! Mu Jingyan! You two! Do you think you're somewhere?! How dare you cause trouble in class?! Come to my office after class!"

She was really furious.

When I entered the classroom, Shen Ye was sleeping.

Miao Yongmei comforted herself, saying that students need sufficient sleep to be in a better state to face their studies.

Shen Ye woke up and chatted quietly with Mu Jingyan, oblivious to everyone else.

She comforted herself, thinking that the top students were probably exchanging study tips.

Just now, these two actually started touching each other inappropriately, and she couldn't console herself anymore.

Hui-Wen Middle School has a strict hierarchy, and top students have certain exemptions, but only if they do not undermine the teachers' authority.

......

"Hey, don't be angry."

After returning from the office, Mu Jingyan ignored Shen Ye completely.

He poked her arm with his pen, but she didn't react; he tilted his head to look at her face, but she turned her face directly to the window.

"This can't be entirely my fault, you said a lot too," Shen Ye said, feeling frustrated.

Mu Jingyan glared at him fiercely.

Because of this person, I was taken to the teacher's office and reprimanded twice within a week.

In the office, Miao Yongmei gave the two of them a lecture, focusing on criticizing Shen Ye, saying something like, "You're the only one who's mischievous and likes to cause trouble; don't let others be like that too."

Shen Ye nodded obediently the whole time, while he stood next to him with a straight face and didn't say a word.

Several teachers nearby covered their mouths and chuckled.

This is an utter disgrace!

Mu Jingyan decided to communicate with Shen Ye less in the future.

"Hey deskmate, I don't know how to do this question, can you teach me?" Shen Ye opened the test paper collection, randomly flipped to a page, and pointed to the last big question.

"No, you can't learn anything real if you always rely on others," Mu Jingyan resolutely refused.

"Oh, I see..."

Shen Ye had already guessed that Mu Jingyan would say that, and his smile was strange.

"Have you forgotten... what's in the commitment letter?"

He stared at his deskmate with a playful look in his eyes, and the girl's body suddenly stiffened.

"If you've forgotten, let me remind you: we supervise each other's learning, discuss difficult problems together, encourage each other, and keep our promises to make progress together."

He paused, then lowered his voice slightly: "If either party is lazy, negligent, or violates the agreement, they must sincerely apologize to the other party and say three times: 'I am a little dog...'"

"Mu, you just refused to discuss a difficult problem with me, that's a breach of contract!"

The boomerang still hit her.

Mu Jingyan never expected that Shen Ye would use this to pressure her.

Moreover, she wrote the commitment letter herself.

Between talking to Shen Ye and saying I'm a puppy, Mu Jingyan chose the former.

She simply couldn't bring herself to say she was a puppy.

Especially in front of Shen Ye.

"Which question?" The girl gritted her teeth and moved closer to Shen Ye.

I really want to bite him to death.

That's shameless.

"Emm... Let me find it, this is it." Shen Ye changed the question and moved his finger to the first multiple choice question.

What does the "factory" on top of the "4" mean?

Mu Jingyan's vision went black.

"Be serious, don't play dumb!"

"Okay." Shen Ye returned to the last major question.

Mu Jingyan's complexion improved slightly.

She didn't believe Shen Ye couldn't answer this question, but explaining it was better than explaining "why the square root looks like a factory".

"Listen to me, the key to this problem is the placement of the auxiliary lines... First, connect the extension lines here..."

Shen Ye slowly moved closer to her, his chin almost touching her shoulder.

The girl was speaking earnestly and didn't notice until she finished the first part. When she caught a glimpse of his face, which was so close to hers, she realized that the distance between them was incredibly close.

Why are you standing so close to me?

"Listen more clearly."

"Get away from me, it's practically rubbing against my face!"

"Okay, okay."

After a while...

"Why are you here again?!"

"Oh, I was so engrossed in listening that I didn't notice."

"I want to bring the books back!"

"No, you said yourself that the books were blocking the way and affecting communication."

"..."
