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

The bell rang on Thursday afternoon, signaling the end of the last exam and marking the official conclusion of the midterm exams.

The students in the examination room breathed a sigh of relief, putting down their pens. Some let out a long breath, some began to pack up their stationery, and others started whispering with their deskmates, discussing the difficult questions on the test paper.

Shen Ye neatly stacked the answer sheet and exam paper and handed them to the invigilator who came to collect them.

When he walked out of the examination room, the corridor was already crowded with people.

Class 7's classroom was on the second floor. Instead of rushing back, he leaned against the corridor railing and watched a few students still playing football on the playground downstairs.

"Shen Ye."

A familiar voice came from behind me.

He turned his head, and Mu Jingyan was walking towards him.

The girl wore a clean school uniform, her long, straight black hair draped over her shoulders, swaying gently as she walked.

"Finished the exam?" Shen Ye turned to the side, making room for her.

"Hmm." Mu Jingyan stopped beside him, leaning against the railing, her gaze fixed on the distant playground. "The last subject, physics, did you find it difficult?"

"It's alright," Shen Ye replied casually. "It was a little harder than the last monthly exam, but not too difficult."

"I think so too," Mu Jingyan nodded, her tone calm.

The two stood side by side, looking at the scenery below, without saying a word for a while.

Other students came and went in the corridor. Some people glanced at them curiously as they passed by, but did not linger.

After all, the pairing of Shen Ye and Mu Jingyan was already considered "celebrity" status at Huiwen Middle School. The first and second place in the grade often appeared together, so everyone was used to it.

"Oh, right," Shen Ye suddenly said.

"What's wrong?" Mu Jingyan turned her head to look at him.

"Do you remember our bet?"

"Remember."

Before the midterm exams, the two agreed to compare their grades.

If Shen Ye wins, Mu Jingyan must grant him any request, but it cannot involve physical contact.

At the time, Shen Ye said he hadn't thought of the specifics yet, but now it seems...

"You figured it out?" The girl's tone was wary, and her eyes showed obvious defensiveness.

Based on her understanding of Shen Ye, the demands he made were definitely unreasonable.

"Hmm." Shen Ye's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that was hard to decipher.

That smile made Mu Jingyan's heart skip a beat.

That expression...

Every time he shows that smile, it means that what he's about to say is definitely not something serious.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Shen Ye slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, stuffed it into his mouth, and crunched it to pieces.

He chewed on the candy, his gaze sweeping over Mu Jingyan from head to toe.

The girl felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and her brows gradually furrowed: "Speak."

"Don't rush me," Shen Ye said slowly. "Let me think about how to express it."

He deliberately dragged out his words, as if enjoying Mu Jing's impatient expression.

"..." Mu Jingyan gritted her teeth, almost snapping.

"If you lose this time..." Shen Ye leaned closer, lowering his voice as if afraid of being overheard by those around him, "I want to see you in a maid outfit."

"What?!"

Mu Jingyan's voice suddenly rose, attracting the curious turn of several students passing by in the corridor.

She quickly lowered her voice, but the expression on her face had completely crumbled.

Shock, shame, and disbelief were all mixed together.

"What did you say?! Maid outfit?!"

The girl's eyes widened as she stared intently at Shen Ye, as if trying to confirm whether he was joking.

Shen Ye looked completely innocent: "Yeah, a maid outfit. You know, the kind with lace trim, black and white, and a little apron."

He even gestured with his hands, as if to say, "It would be even better if you wore a pair of white stockings with it."

"Pervert! Rogue! Vulgar! Shameless!"

Mu Jingyan cursed out four words in a row, each one uttered through gritted teeth, as if she wished she could tear Shen Ye to pieces.

Her face flushed red at a visible speed, from her cheeks all the way to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink.

"How could you make such a request?! A maid outfit is... is that kind of... that kind of thing!"

She could barely speak, clearly stunned by Shen Ye's suggestion.

Seeing her reaction, Shen Ye's smile deepened.

"Don't get so worked up." He spoke casually, as if it were something perfectly normal. "Wearing a maid outfit isn't anything shameful. It's in a lot of anime these days, it's pretty normal."

"Normal?! You call this normal?!"

Maid outfit?!

Those kinds of outfits that only appear in anime, with obvious suggestive meanings?!

That bastard Shen Ye actually wanted her to wear that kind of thing?!

"Furthermore," Shen Ye added, his tone even more innocent, "didn't you say before that it couldn't be any kind of physical contact? A maid outfit is just clothing worn on the body, it doesn't count as physical contact, right?"

"you--!"

Mu Jingyan was completely speechless.

She discovered that Shen Ye's logic was absolutely impeccable—the maid outfit was indeed not physical contact, but this was even more excessive than physical contact!

Just imagining that scene made Mu Jingyan feel like she was about to explode.

"You're dreaming!" she gritted her teeth. "Even if I lose, I will never wear something like that!"

"Oh?" Shen Ye raised an eyebrow. "You're going to breach the contract?"

"This doesn't constitute a breach of contract!" Mu Jingyan retorted. "Your demands are excessive and beyond what's reasonable!"

"Within reasonable limits?" Shen Ye tilted his head. "Our agreement is 'any request, but no physical contact.' The maid outfit meets that condition, so how is it beyond reasonable limits?"

"Because...because..."

Mu Jingyan stammered, unable to find a suitable reason for a moment.

In short, she was completely ensnared by Shen Ye.

"Furthermore," Shen Ye added, "didn't you confidently say you wouldn't lose? If you wouldn't lose, what's the point of worrying about this request?"

These words directly hit Mu Jingyan's sore spot.

She did say she wouldn't lose.

But now...

The girl fell silent.

She knew in her heart that this midterm exam was much more difficult than the last monthly exam.

Mu Jingyan couldn't guarantee that she could win.

"Also, this bet is mutual. If I lose, you can ask me to wear a maid outfit—no, wait, a male servant outfit."

But do male servant outfits even exist?

Shen Ye pondered.

Chengdu might have it.

"I can't agree to that right now..." Mu Jingyan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "You'd better pray you win."

"Don't worry, I'm confident." Shen Ye patted his chest.

"Hmph." Mu Jingyan snorted coldly, turned around and left, "We'll talk after you win."

She walked very fast, her steps hurried, as if she were running away from something.

As Shen Ye watched her retreating figure, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He knew that Mu Jingyan was indeed under a lot of pressure this time.

The repeated waterproofing had built the girl's confidence.

But this time, he used all his strength.

Shen Ye felt a mix of emotions.

He made the request to wear a maid outfit partly as a joke, and partly to see Mu Jingyan's reaction.

But seeing the girl's ashamed and indignant expression, he regretted it a little.

Perhaps this request is indeed excessive.

but......

Shen Ye stroked his chin, thinking: If she really loses, she'll have to wear a maid outfit...

That scene is definitely something to look forward to.

He shook his head, banishing those chaotic thoughts, and turned to walk towards Class 7's classroom.

......

The school bell rang, and Shen Ye slung his backpack over his shoulder, walked through the back of the classroom, and headed towards the door.

As I passed Mu Jinghuan's seat, the little robot was holding its schoolbag, waiting obediently for its older sister.

"Goodbye, brother." She waved to Shen Ye.

"Goodbye." Shen Ye waved in response, and casually ruffled her hair.

Mu Jinghuan's lips were slightly distorted from his rubbing, but she didn't resist, only making a muffled "hmm".

Mu Jingyan watched this scene from the side without saying anything. She took her sister's hand and walked towards the classroom door.

Shen Ye followed behind, and the three of them left the classroom one after the other.
