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

The indoor gymnasium is located on the east side of the campus and is a stand-alone building.

The exterior features a modern design, with glass curtain walls that shimmer in the sunlight.

Upon entering the gate, the space is quite large, enough to accommodate more than a thousand eighth-grade students and their parents.

Seating is divided according to class, with each class having a designated area.

The students in Class 1 sat at the very front, right next to the teacher's podium. The podium was already set up, with a microphone and projector, and a banner hung behind it—

"Parent-Teacher Meeting for the Second Year of Junior High School Midterm Exams".

A faint smell of dust mingled with the scent of pine wood hung in the air above the stadium.

Lights streamed down from the ceiling, illuminating the entire space brightly and transparently.

Xu Muwan and Shen Ye walked towards the seats in Class 1, while Lin Jianye and Lin Chunuan went to the seats in Class 2.

"See you in a bit." Lin Jianye waved to the two of them.

"Mm." Xu Muwan nodded.

He and Xu Muwan walked together to the area of ​​Class 1.

Shen Ye spotted Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan from afar.

The two sisters sat together, with several empty seats next to them.

Class teacher Miao Yongmei specially arranged for him and Xu Muwan to sit at the front, in the same spot as the Mu sisters.

But to Shen Ye's surprise—

A woman was sitting next to Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan.

She was a beautiful woman in her thirties, wearing a well-tailored dark suit, her hair was neatly styled, and her makeup was exquisite but not heavy.

Her features are somewhat similar to Mu Jingyan's, but she has a sharper and more mature look.

Sitting there, with his back straight and chin slightly raised, he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

Qin Xian.

Shen Ye paused for a moment.

He turned to look at Xiang Mujingyan, casting an inquiring glance at her.

The girl met his gaze, her expression somewhat complicated.

She shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't know why her mother had suddenly come.

Mu Jinghuan sat next to her sister, and the little robot looked very nervous.

She had her head down and her hands clasped together, looking very uncomfortable.

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards his seat.

From the moment he appeared, Qin Xian's gaze fell on him.

She looked the boy up and down—his features were so exquisite that they seemed to have been sculpted by God, his skin was as white as jade, and his figure was tall and slender.

Even with her discerning eye, she had to admit that the child was indeed flawlessly beautiful.

Qin Xian withdrew her gaze and turned to Xu Muwan, who was standing next to Shen Ye.

This woman has a gentle temperament, with a soft look in her eyes, and seems like an easy person to get along with.

She was dressed appropriately but not ostentatiously, with light makeup, and exuded a comfortable aura.

Qin Xian secretly guessed that this must be Shen Ye's mother.

"Hello," she said, speaking politely but with a hint of scrutiny. "I am Qin Xian, the mother of Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan. My daughter and your son are friends."

"Hello Ms. Qin, my name is Xu Muwan." Xu Muwan replied with a smile, "Shen Ye's... mother."

She hesitated for a few seconds, but still used the term "Mom".

"Shen Ye is a really outstanding kid," Qin Xian said. "I've heard Jingyan mention him many times, saying that he's the top student in the grade and has always been neck and neck with Jingyan."

"Not at all, it's all thanks to the child's own hard work," Xu Muwan said modestly.

"To raise such an outstanding child, one must have unique educational methods."

Qin Xian's gaze lingered on Xu Muwan for a few seconds, her eyes filled with inquiry. "I wonder how Ms. Xu usually educates her children?"

Xu Muwan smiled and said, "We didn't really do anything special; we just let them roam freely."

"Free-range?" Qin Xian was somewhat surprised, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Yes, Xiaoye has been quite self-disciplined since he was little, and we basically don't have to worry about his studies," Xu Muwan said in a relaxed tone. "His father and I think that children have their own pace, and it's better for adults to interfere less."

Qin Xian nodded thoughtfully, but her eyes clearly showed some disbelief.

Can free-range farming produce a student who ranks first in their grade?

She harbored doubts, but showed no sign of them on her face, and continued chatting with Xu Muwan.

"Ms. Xu's educational philosophy is very open-minded," Qin Xian said, feigning ignorance. "However, I'm curious, what does Shen usually do at home? Does he attend any tutoring classes?"

"He doesn't attend tutoring classes." Xu Muwan shook her head. "He usually just reads books and plays games occasionally, just like other kids."

"How does he maintain such good grades?"

"Well..." Xu Muwan thought for a moment, she also found it strange, "Maybe he's just smarter and learns things quickly."

Smart? Quick learner?

These were not the answers Qin Xian wanted.

What she wanted was a concrete method, an experience that could be replicated on Jingyan.

"Ms. Xu is too modest," Qin Xian said, her tone tinged with a hint of probing. "As parents, you must have some unique methods to raise such an outstanding child."

"Really, no." Xu Muwan shook her head with a smile. "We really haven't taken care of Xiao Ye much."

Qin Xian didn't press the matter further, but her doubts deepened.

This woman is either genuinely carefree, or she's hiding her true abilities.

She turned to look at Shen Ye, and her gaze met that of the young man.

The moment their eyes met, Qin Xian narrowed her eyes slightly.

This child...

There's something wrong with his eyes.

There seems to be a hint of... hostility?

......

While the two were chatting, Shen Ye quietly moved closer to Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan.

"What's going on?" he asked in a low voice. "Why is your mother here?"

Mu Jingyan shook her head, her face slightly pale: "I don't know, she said before that she wouldn't come."

Her voice was soft and trembling.

Her fingers gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Mu Jinghuan also pursed her lips, looking nervous.

The little robot's eyes were red, as if it was about to cry.

Seeing the two sisters like this, Shen Ye felt a pang of regret.

If he had known Qin Xian would come, he would have gone easy on her in this exam.

Looking at Mu Jingyan's nervous expression and then at Mu Jinghuan's almost tearful face, Shen Ye made a decision.

He reached out and took the hands of the two sisters in each hand.

Mu Jingyan and Mu Jinghuan were both stunned and looked at him in surprise.

"It's alright," Shen Ye said softly, his tone firm. "No matter what the results are, I'll be here for you."

His palms were warm, carrying a reassuring power.

Mu Jingyan pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but her tense shoulders relaxed a little.

She lowered her head and looked at Shen Ye holding her hand, a complex emotion welling up inside her.

"Rogue," Mu Jingyan murmured softly.

Mu Jinghuan nodded slightly and gave Shen Ye a smile.

"I believe in my brother."
