The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

His evasive gaze shattered the girl's smile.

Su Ran didn't know why she was laughing; perhaps it was the boy's flushed face that made her feel the weather was nice today.

“If you can’t go, I’ve arranged another job for you, but there’s a scheduling conflict.”

Zhong Jue's voice was no less than the collapse of the heavens and the cracking of the earth.

Gu Cai exploded: "I didn't agree!"

"You have no right to refuse."

"I have very poor self-care skills, so what's wrong with wanting to participate in 'Self-Sufficiency'?"

“After your last car accident, the doctor said you haven’t fully recovered and can’t attend outdoor work.”

"I'm perfectly healthy! Don't believe me? Try punching me!" He was certain Zhong Jue wouldn't dare.

Zhong Jue suppressed the throbbing veins on his forehead.

I've wanted to beat this kid up for a long time.

The little bit of ambiguous atmosphere we finally managed to create was completely ruined by this kid.

But he didn't want to be so rude to Guiyin.

He didn't want to leave her with the impression of domestic violence.

"Do you think your aunt will agree?" He had no choice but to bring up a powerful figure.

Gu Cai was indeed deflated when his aunt, who was also his mother, was mentioned.

He looked at Su Ran with some reluctance, hoping she would say something.

The girl simply leaned back lazily on the sofa, her bent knuckles resting on her chin, her deep, beautiful eyes behind her mask quietly watching him.

He looked at her with a slightly teasing expression, as if he were looking at a cute little animal.

Gu Cai was a little annoyed.

what the hell.

He was clearly a year older than her.

Why do I act like an immature child in front of her?

"I'm going to practice the guitar." He made up an excuse, and just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly looked at Su Ran with a sharp gaze. "How's your guitar playing going? As your teacher, I have the right to test you, don't I?"

Su Ran was taken aback; she had almost forgotten that Gu Cai was her first guitar teacher.

He had expected Su Ran to refuse, saying, "I don't have time."

After all, he had a terrible temper when he was teaching her.

In addition, her guitar skills, as demonstrated in "Hana-Kimi," are already quite impressive. With her current influence, she may not be Yu Ran's number one star, but she certainly has the right to be arrogant.

"it is good."

Her voice was neither too warm nor too cold, flowing freely into his ears like a gentle breeze.

It was he who felt uncomfortable.

"You, you... what's so good about it? Don't you know how to call me Teacher Gu?"

“Okay, Teacher Gu,” she replied naturally.

Piano room.

Gu Cai is indeed a genius when it comes to arranging music. Su Ran only needs to play a simple melody, and he can match it with different tunes.

“There’s no one here, no surveillance cameras, and you don’t need to wear a mask when you’re facing me,” Gu Cai said.

Su Ran thought so too. Wearing a mask all day long would make one a criminal. She told Little Butterfly to keep an eye on things, so she put down her guitar.

Effortlessly and unhurriedly, I removed the mask that seemed like a sealing talisman.

Her entire face was revealed, her eyes, which held secrets, possessing the chill of the night and the depth of the sea.

Gu Cai looked at her quietly.

Watching her trembling eyelashes as she fluttered her eyelashes, watching her slender hands as she bent down to put something down, watching her medium-length black hair slide down her neck as she moved...

I just couldn't look her in the eyes.

"I have something I'd like to ask you to do in cooperation."

In a daze, he heard a girl's voice.

"W-what?"

As soon as he asked the question, he was annoyed at himself for being so clumsy in front of her.

"I have a song that I'd like you to arrange."

Although she could obtain the existing arrangement from the system for the opening song of "Born to Be Beautiful", she still felt that it would definitely have a different feel if it were in Gu Cai's hands.

When his expertise was mentioned, Gu Cai's expression became noticeably serious.

"Sure, we're friends, after all."

After saying this, Gu Cai felt a little smug.

We're friends, not alumni.

With Gu Cai's help, Su Ran completed the song much more smoothly.

Su Ran felt very relaxed when she left the music room.

If only I hadn't run into Lu Xiaoyan.

"Ghost Voice, how wonderful, we've met again. We're truly destined to meet."

As soon as she came up, she grabbed Su Ran's arm. Because Su Ran was at an angle on both sides and there was a door behind her, she was caught off guard and couldn't dodge.

"I've always wanted to take a photo with you, and today I finally have the chance."

Lu Xiaoyan quickly raised her phone, which she had already adjusted to use the front-facing camera, ready to take a picture.

As a result, all she captured was a moving, blurry image of Su Ran.

The instant Lu Xiaoyan pressed the shutter, Su Ran quickly broke free from Lu Xiaoyan's arm and darted to the other side.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom."

The saying "a person has three urgent needs" is an excuse that's hard to refuse.

Lu Xiaoyan never expected that Guiyin, who was like a goddess in front of everyone, would use going to the toilet as an excuse.

But she still wouldn't let her go.

"Going to the bathroom? Let's go together, we're all girls."
