Shen Ye felt that Lin Chunuan had been acting strangely lately.

Mingming used to be so eager to stick close to him whenever she ran into him at school, as if she wanted the whole school to know, "This is my brother."

But now...

You're lucky if you don't avoid him when you see him.

Sometimes, when I see him from afar, I even pretend I don't see him and walk away quickly with my head down.

This actually benefited Chu Cihan.

When Lin Chunuan was still around, the two of them almost took turns being clingy, one clinging to the other.

Now that Lin Chunuan has voluntarily withdrawn, Chu Cihan has immediately taken over all the spots.

Inside the cafeteria, Shen Ye and Chu Cihan sat facing each other.

But Shen Ye was clearly distracted, his eyes searching for Lin Chunuan's figure.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Cihan shifted his position, blocking his view.

She puffed out her cheeks and poked at the rice in her bowl: "With such a beautiful girl like me sitting across from you, you still have the mind to look at other people!"

Shen Ye withdrew his gaze and glanced at Chu Cihan speechlessly.

"Hey lady, could you move away from me? If you sit so close, the teacher might misunderstand."

"What misunderstanding? You never say that when you eat with Lin Chunuan." Chu Cihan flashed his little tiger teeth and glared at him fiercely.

"Nuan Nuan and I are siblings, so even if the teacher asks us questions, we can just explain it clearly. But it's different for us."

"What's the difference?"

"It's different everywhere."

"Heh." Chu Cihan turned his head away, pursed his lips, and gave a standard "I'm not happy" look. "I think you just look down on me."

Her willful and arrogant demeanor captivated many young boys observing the situation.

Boys who are gradually entering puberty will find themselves unconsciously attracted to pretty girls.

Chu Cihan is the most outstanding among them.

However, upon seeing Shen Ye opposite the girl, everyone sighed inwardly.

Modeling monsters are still too numerical.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Shen Ye not only did not deny it outright, but instead accepted the label.

This left Chu Cihan unsure how to respond.

That shouldn't be happening!

In her mind, Shen Ye should have quickly denied it and comforted himself.

Then she took the opportunity to suggest that he feed her.

That's how it is in cartoons.

Why doesn't it work on Shen Ye?

"You...you—!"

Chu Ci was so angry that he couldn't speak.

My hands, which were holding the chopsticks, were trembling slightly.

"Let's not talk about that now. How did your exam go this morning?"

Shen Ye didn't want to give her a chance to start swearing, so he immediately changed the subject.

His words drew Chu Cihan's attention.

"Emm...it's alright."

She took a piece of spare rib from Shen Ye and stuffed it into her mouth.

The girl squinted her eyes with a delighted look.

"I didn't finish the last sub-question of the last big math problem, but the rest should be fine."

"So you did really well on the test. Are you confident you'll be in the top 100 of your grade?"

Not to be outdone, Shen Ye snatched some food from Chu Cihan's bowl.

"You underestimate me too much. I'm just a top 100." Chu Cihan proudly raised her chin.

"Guaranteed top 30"

Oh.

I almost forgot that this girl is also a top student in elementary school.

"And you?" Chu Cihan asked in return.

"Me? I'm sure I can get first place in the grade."

Shen Ye patted his chest.

He was absolutely certain of this.

If I still can't get first place even with the system, I might as well skip it.

Chu Cihan scoffed, indicating some doubt.

She knew Shen Ye had excellent grades, but there were over a thousand students in each grade at Huiwen School.

The vast majority of these thousand people were top students in their respective elementary schools.

In a regular high school, they would be considered top students.

Don't believe me?

"I don't really believe it."

"How about we make a bet?"

Shen Ye wanted to drag Chu Cihan into this mess.

But Chu Cihan wasn't fooled by that tactic.

"No gambling," she resolutely refused.

If she loses the bet, she will lose all her authority as the mistress.

Although there weren't many to begin with.

But we can't take that risk.

"All right."

Shen Ye suddenly felt bored.

......

"Nuan Nuan, why don't you sit with your brother?"

Lin Xin looked at her best friend, who was pounding rice with chopsticks, with a sense of disappointment.

"Look, your brother is about to be stolen away by that wicked woman, Chu Cihan!"

Lin Chunuan glanced in the direction she was pointing—

The older brother and Chu Cihan sat facing each other, even laughing and joking as they tried to take food from each other's bowls.

He pursed his lips, unable to articulate his feelings.

Of course Lin Chunuan wanted to sit with her brother.

But whenever I get close to Shen Ye, that dream uncontrollably pops into my mind.

Then her legs went weak.

"Hey! Nuan Nuan! Your brother's here!"

Lin Chunuan's thoughts were interrupted by Wu Hui's suppressed scream.

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell around her.

When Lin Chunuan came to her senses, there was already someone else beside her.

The familiar scent of her brother wafted over her, and Lin Chunuan almost held her breath.

"How did the exam go?"

"It's...it's alright..."

Lin Chunuan was so nervous that she stammered.

My legs are starting to feel weak again...

Shen Ye looked at his sister's increasingly rosy face and felt puzzled.

"Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?" he asked with concern.

The cold hands covered Lin Chunuan's forehead, bringing the girl back to a sliver of clarity.

"I...I'm fine..." Lin Chunu pushed her brother away and moved a little closer to Lin Xin.

This move left Shen Ye completely baffled.

What's going on?

Are you in a bad mood?

Seeing that Lin Chunuan was acting strangely, Shen Ye didn't linger.

After telling her to get some rest and exchanging a few words with her sister's friend, Shen Ye left.

Only after Shen Ye's figure completely disappeared at the cafeteria entrance did Lin Chunuan slowly raise her head, look in that direction, and breathe a sigh of relief after several seconds.

Lin Xin watched her like this, wanting to say something but holding back.

Wu Hui muttered under her breath, "Your brother is such a good person, why are you avoiding him...?"

Lin Chunuan didn't answer, but buried her face in her arms and lay on the table without saying a word.

......

I hate competitive dogs!

When Shen Ye returned to the classroom, the first person he saw was Mu Jingyan, who was doing her homework.

"You have an exam this afternoon, aren't you going to rest?" Shen Ye muttered. "Don't run out of brain cells later."

"Don't worry, the brain size of humans and monkeys is different."

Mu Jingyan's remarks were clearly directed at Shen Ye.

"Don't judge me by your own standards."

"..."

Good intentions are misunderstood.

"No wonder you don't have any friends," Shen Ye muttered to himself.

With Mu Jingyan's arrogant and disdainful nature, how many people could tolerate her?

"No need." Mu Jingyan didn't think having no friends was anything to be ashamed of. "It saves me from having any meaningless conversations."

"Then what should I say?"

"Hmm..." The girl touched her lips and thought for a moment, "It's a bit complicated."

"He was both a benefactor who helped my sister and a tool I used to relieve stress."

Shen Ye: "..."
