As the bell rang to signal the end of evening self-study, Shen Ye eagerly picked up his pre-packed schoolbag.

"Go home, go home."

As he passed by Mu Jingyan's desk, he slowed down and glanced at her—the girl was still looking down, her pen scratching across the draft paper, clearly not having finished a problem yet.

"Sis," Shen Ye tapped on her desk, "Is this really necessary? I'll just let you win."

"Um?"

Mu Jingyan paused for a moment, then looked up at him.

The light shone from the side, casting a small shadow under her eyelashes.

She was very annoyed that her train of thought was interrupted while solving the problem.

"I'll leave after I finish this question."

"Also, I'm not just doing this for the bet; you don't need to try to persuade me."

"Alright."

It seems I can't persuade them anymore.

He muttered something to himself, then turned and walked to the front row.

Mu Jinghuan was already packing her things, her backpack zipper only half open, slowly putting the books inside one by one.

Shen Ye casually pinched her cheek. The little robot tilted her head back, and although her mouth was slightly distorted by his pinch, she did not resist, only making a muffled "hmm".

Shen Ye withdrew his hand and glanced back.

Mu Jingyan was looking down at the problem, her shiny black hair hanging down her side, making her jawline look exceptionally clean.

A thought struck him, and he said, "If you lose, how about I pat your head every day?"

He'd been craving this for a long time.

He had touched Lin Chunuan, he had touched Chu Cihan, and he had casually rubbed Mu Jinghuan.

Only Mu Jingyan, whenever he tried to casually touch the top of her head, would shrink back under her murderous gaze.

"I won't lose." Mu Jingyan didn't even raise her head, her tone flat, as if stating a given fact.

"Oh." Shen Ye ruffled Mu Jinghuan's hair again, straightened up and walked towards the door. "I'm leaving now."

He still had to pick up Lin Chunuan.

After crossing a main road on campus, Shen Ye entered Building B and saw Lin Chunuan at the entrance of Class 21.

but......

Why is Chu Cihan standing next to her?

"What are you doing...?"

Shen Ye was completely baffled.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Chunuan turned around abruptly, her expression quickly switching to a wronged mode.

"Brother!" She rushed over and hugged his arm, pressing her face against his upper arm, her voice soft and pitiful, "You're not in the same class as Nuannuan, so Nuannuan gets bullied by her every day!"

She pointed at Chu Cihan with her other finger, her face full of accusation.

The tone suggested that he had suffered a great injustice.

"Don't make false accusations." Chu Cihan put his hands on his hips, his eyes wide. "It's clearly you who's always picking on me."

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Shen Ye quickly interrupted them.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. It's so late, let's go home."

As he spoke, he pointed to the clock hanging in the classroom.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time." Lin Chunu pouted and was pulled downstairs by Shen Ye.

Shen Ye thought that was the end of it.

The two walked out of the school gate and along the road outside the wall toward the teachers' apartments.

After walking about ten steps, he caught a glimpse of a shadow behind him out of the corner of his eye.

Turning around, Chu Cihan followed leisurely about five or six meters away, his hands in his pockets, his steps relaxed as if he were taking a stroll.

"No," Shen Ye stopped, "Aren't you going home? Why are you following me?"

"Chu Cihan," he said, feigning wariness and taking a half-step behind Lin Chunuan, "you're not some stalker following a pervert, are you?"

Chu Cihan rolled her eyes.

"You're quite the drama queen. I heard you lived here, so I came to see you."

"What, you won't let us in?"

Before Shen Ye could answer, Lin Chunu stepped forward and stood in front of Chu Cihan.

"No way!"

The two were extremely close, perhaps only a finger's width apart.

You can even smell the other person's breath.

"This is my brother's and my home. What are you doing here, an outsider?"

Lin Chunuan was aggressive, completely unlike her playful and cute demeanor when talking to her brother.

"outsider?"

Chu Cihan wasn't annoyed, and instead asked with a smile:

"Aren't we all outsiders?"

"Excuse me, are you surnamed Lin and he surnamed Shen related by blood?"

Chu Cihan was aggressive, attacking Lin Chunuan's sore spots.

"Shen Ye and I have known each other the longest, and in terms of our relationship..."

She lightly touched the corner of her mouth, her gaze passing through Lin Chunuan and landing directly on Shen Ye behind her.

"My mother's surname is also Shen. Maybe she and Shen Ye were even from the same family before."

Damn it, just shut up!

Shen Ye wanted to cry but had no tears.

How did I end up having anything to do with your mother?

He slapped a mosquito that was trying to land on his arm to suck blood, and noticed that a teacher passing by on his way home from get off work had noticed them, so he quickly stepped in and pushed the two of them a little further apart.

"Listen to me, stop arguing here, go back inside. I don't want to feed the mosquitoes."

Without waiting for Lin Chunuan and Chu Cihan's reactions, Shen Ye pulled the two of them upstairs.

After closing the door, Shen Ye finally let go of his hand with a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness.

If the teacher had caught you just now, they would have accused you of having a relationship and given you a disciplinary warning.

"You can continue."

Unexpectedly, the two girls suddenly fell silent.

Lin Chunuan was sulking because she couldn't stop Chu Cihan from entering her home.

Chu Cihan, on the other hand, was looking around at the layout of the room.

"It's just average, not as big as my dressing room," Chu Cihan commented on the living room.

He then turned to Shen Ye and asked, "Which one is your bedroom?"

"What are you going to do?" Shen Ye became wary.

"Just a routine check."

"As a master, it is necessary to understand the living environment of your servants."

Having said that, Chu Cihan opened the door to a room next to the living room without any hesitation.

This happens to be Shen Ye's room.

Chu Cihan stepped inside and glanced around.

"Terrible." She pointed to the unmade blankets and the books scattered haphazardly, rubbing her eyes in disgust.

"Like a doghouse. No, a doghouse isn't this messy."

"I don't think I gave you permission to comment, did I?"

"I don't need your permission."

Chu Cihan suddenly sat down on the edge of the bed.

To Shen Ye's astonishment, the girl bent down, hooked her fingers on the heel of the shoe, and took off the dark blue canvas shoes, revealing white socks with white lace trim underneath.

Then......

I lay down on it.

Chu Cihan nuzzled against Shen Ye's pillow, nuzzling gently like a cat finding a comfortable spot, then squinted his eyes contentedly.

Take a deep breath—

The air around my nose was filled with Shen Ye's scent.

"Get up!"

Lin Chunu screamed.

How come my house was almost burgled just because I was distracted for a moment?

The girl pushed her brother away and pounced on the bed, pulling at Chu Cihan.

"You're not allowed to lie on this older brother's bed!"

But Chu Cihan stubbornly stayed in bed and refused to leave.

Enraged, Lin Chunuan simply took off her shoes and climbed up, engaging Chu Cihan in a fierce battle.

The thin blanket was torn into a tangled mess by the two of them, and the wooden bed creaked as they stomped on it.

Shen Ye silently closed the door.

The sounds from inside the house were incessant.

Shen Ye thought to himself: Will I be able to sleep peacefully tonight?
