An angelic personality, with a flawless, impeccable appearance, unparalleled intelligence, and extraordinary talent, coupled with an enviable, perfect figure.】

She is an absolute advocate of justice and takes things very seriously. To uphold the principle of absolute justice, she can make crucial decisions in special moments, and these decisions often mean her inner world is being shattered.】
"Her inner world is being shattered..."
Su Cheng opened the system panel and noticed the last sentence in the system description.
He then looked up at Li Zhaohao, who was on a rocking ride, and saw that she seemed genuinely happy, as if all her worries had vanished, her beautiful face filled with ease and contentment.
"Is she protecting her world this way?"
Su Cheng withdrew his gaze, muttered to himself, and then rode his bicycle away.
He didn't want to disturb her enjoyment or ruin the beauty she held in her heart.
So, pretending not to see was the best approach.
After all, in this world, there are many outstanding individuals, and seemingly perfect people are countless, but those who can find an answer within themselves are few and far between.
Although he still couldn't understand or connect the student council president with Li Zhaohao.
"No wonder she has two names."
Su Cheng couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Zhao and Li Zhaohao.
They are indeed two different people.
Soon, Su Cheng arrived at an archery range.
This was his last stop for the day.
After experiencing it, he would go back to review his studies.
After completing the procedures,
Su Cheng sat in a chair, waiting for the person in front of him to finish their experience.
However, at that moment,
He suddenly noticed an elegant older sister in black sports attire sitting next to him. Glancing sideways, he saw yet another unfamiliar, cold, and elegant older sister.
She was about twenty years old, with no confession marker on her head.
Why say "again"?
Because yesterday and today, he had encountered many people with a similar aura.
Yesterday, they hadn't approached him like this.
However, this aura was similar to that of the butler who was by Ji Qingyi's side, but compared to that butler, this person was clearly not as cold and icy.
If you think carefully, it's easy to draw a conclusion.
In fact, if someone wanted to harm him, they could tamper with the bowstring, and he might get injured by the snapped string.
This person was likely sent by Ji Qingyi to protect him.
Or perhaps Liu Qingyue?
He wasn't sure.
But it was clear that it was a shift system.
Ji Qingyi wouldn't participate this year, but it was rumored that she personally coached someone to participate.
So, he was highly anticipated.
It could even be understood that Ji Qingyi wanted him to win the championship.
This would undoubtedly arouse resentment from other school participants in the past.
"It's our turn."
Suddenly, she looked at Su Cheng, her voice slightly hoarse.
"Okay."
Su Cheng stood up and walked with her to the shooting range, receiving the bow and arrows handed over by the staff and placing them in the quiver.
Then, he began to nock and draw the bow, preparing to aim.
She also followed Su Cheng's lead and drew the bow.
The two almost simultaneously released their arrows.
Her aim was more accurate, and the arrow hit the bullseye.
She smiled at Su Cheng and then continued to aim at the bullseye.
At this moment, Su Cheng also released his arrow, which cut through the air with a sharp whistle.
"Whoosh～!"
Two sharp sounds echoed, and both arrows hit their targets almost simultaneously.
She shot faster, while Su Cheng's speed was noticeably slower.
After about ten minutes,
"Plop～"
Another arrow hit the bullseye, and Su Cheng looked down at his quiver, his face showing frustration.
He was out of arrows.
If he wanted to continue, he would need to become a member and renew.
He wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at the woman beside him.
He found her emotional control ability to be incredibly strong; she showed no change in expression, making it impossible to discern her emotions, as if she had no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
It was as if she had cultivated a poker face since childhood.
However, he didn't stare for long and continued to wipe his sweat.
After finishing, he packed up and walked out of the archery range.
Then, rode his bicycle toward his apartment.
He was extremely hungry, as he hadn't eaten lunch due to time constraints, and he was starving.
He planned to go home, have a good meal, and then review his studies.
……………………
As he passed through the villa area, he indeed spotted a familiar figure, Cornelia.
Unlike usual, she was today wearing a sports outfit and wearing a baseball cap, fully disguised to avoid being recognized.
She was currently by the lake, holding a packet of red items, glancing around nervously as she tiptoed toward a large yellow dog lying on the ground.
Su Cheng couldn't help but feel amused.
Cornelia had actually gotten a pack of Huazi Cigarettes, trying to make the dog give her face.
As Cornelia approached, she quickly took out a cigarette from the box and handed it to the large yellow dog, muttering, "Dog brother, give me face!"
However, the dog stood up, facing Cornelia, showing its sharp teeth.
Startled, Cornelia immediately took a step back, waving her hands, "Don't bite me!"
Su Cheng watched Cornelia's panicked expression and felt somewhat speechless.
"Look closely, this brand doesn't irritate the throat," Cornelia explained.
But the large yellow dog didn't relax its teeth; instead, it got closer, its eyes glaring fiercely at Cornelia.
"Ah!"
Cornelia finally couldn't hold it together and fell to the ground, covering her head with her hands, trembling all over.
So inexperienced yet eager to try!
Su Cheng felt a bit guilty seeing her in such a state, so he quickly parked his bicycle and ran toward Cornelia.
Before he could get close, the large yellow dog noticed him, instantly switching targets and wagging its tail, pleadingly rushing toward Su Cheng.
"Scram, next time I'll break your legs if you bare your teeth again!"
Su Cheng launched a glare attack.
The large yellow dog immediately backed down.
It didn't dare to get closer to Su Cheng and instead lay on the ground, wagging its tail in submission.
Su Cheng raised his foot as if to kick, instantly scaring it into scrambling away, disappearing from Su Cheng's sight.
Hearing this familiar voice, Cornelia suddenly looked up and, seeing Su Cheng, was momentarily stunned.
"Ha, Su Cheng?!"
Cornelia quickly pretended nothing had happened and stood up.
However, the calmer she acted, the stranger Su Cheng felt, an inexplicable sense of guilt welling up inside him.
He didn't know what to say.
This person was already so foolish.
No, he had to buy sunflower seeds for the fool.
"What are you doing here?"
Su Cheng asked.
"I... I'm here to enjoy the scenery," Cornelia, relieved that the dog was gone, made up an excuse.
"What's that in your hand?"
"This, this is..."
Cornelia looked at the cigarettes in her hand, suddenly at a loss for words, her face turning as red as an apple. Eventually, she said, "This... these are cigarettes... they're... I..."
She stammered for a while but couldn't come up with an explanation, eventually hiding the cigarettes behind her back.
"Are you trying to get the dog to do a backflip?"
Su Cheng directly exposed her little plan.
"Of course not, I'm not that boring!"
Cornelia retorted.
"Let me be clear, the dog won't perform for strangers, so you can forget about it," he spread his hands and said.
"Then why didn't you explain it all at once!"
Cornelia's fur instantly stood on end upon hearing this, and she couldn't hold back her frustration, lashing out in a fit of anger.
Last time, she had been told that the dog only smoked Huazi Cigarettes.
Confident after secretly buying a pack today, she approached the dog again, ready to test her theory.
Once successful, she planned to invite Ailiya to watch, so that Ailiya would no longer ridicule her.
But today, she failed again.
However, she trusted Su Cheng implicitly.
She assumed it was just a mistake on her part.
Now, Su Cheng was telling her that the dog only performed in front of familiar people?
This felt like intentional bullying!
How infuriating!
She would never trust Su Cheng again!
Seeing Cornelia's furious state, Su Cheng quickly spoke up: "This is indeed my fault. I didn't explain it clearly. I apologize. How about this? I'll cook dinner for you tonight, what do you say?"
"Huh?"
Cornelia's eyes widened in disbelief, blurting out: "Are you serious?"
Not only was he apologizing to her today, but he was also inviting her to dinner?!
"Has the sun risen in the west?"
But she quickly calmed down, tilting her head and crossing her arms, adopting an arrogant stance as she huffed: "I'm not so easily forgiven. But since you're being sincere today, I'll reluctantly agree."
"Let's go."
Su Cheng turned and walked towards his bicycle.
"Wait for me, I need to go home and change!"
Cornelia looked down at her athletic outfit and felt a bit embarrassed.
Going to a restaurant to have dinner with this guy, she should at least wear something formal to make it more special and not embarrass him.
"Hey, wait! It's at my place, why are you ignoring the part about me cooking?"
Seeing this, Su Cheng grew anxious and hurried to catch up.
Fortunately, Cornelia heard him, slowing down and turning back: "Tsk, I heard you!"
After about half an hour, Cornelia finally reappeared.
Su Cheng, seeing her in casual wear, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey!"
Cornelia, noticing Su Cheng's gaze, blushed and urged him on.
"Oh, let's go."
Su Cheng led the way, pushing his bicycle.
Cornelia followed closely behind Su Cheng, even accompanying him to the parking lot to park his bike.
Whenever Su Cheng looked back, Cornelia quickly averted her gaze.
Soon, they arrived at Su Cheng's home.
At the door, Su Cheng opened a new pair of women's slippers, while Cornelia, standing beside him, widened her eyes, her heart racing.
Last time she visited, there were no slippers.
What did this mean?
It meant that Su Cheng had prepared them specially for her.
"Come in."
Su Cheng placed the slippers in front of Cornelia and walked into the house.
"This... this... this..."
Looking at the small-sized new slippers, Cornelia felt the world become warm and beautiful, her heart filled with joy.
In Su Cheng's home, she had her very own pair of slippers.
"Heh... heh... heh... Mistress."
She even forgot why she was here, unconsciously grinning, her mouth almost drooling.
"Come in quickly."
In the living room, Su Cheng noticed Cornelia hadn't entered and urged her.
He hadn't realized anything.
After all, he had bought several new pairs of slippers yesterday.
"Oh, okay."
Cornelia suppressed her silly grin, quickly responding, taking off her shoes and carefully putting on the slippers with her white silk feet, feeling light as a feather.
"You can sit for a while, I'll prepare dinner. How about some noodles?"
Su Cheng gestured for Cornelia to sit on the sofa and asked.
"Sure, that's fine."
Cornelia nodded repeatedly, her head bobbing in a daze.
Su Cheng nodded in response and headed to the kitchen.
Cornelia lay on the sofa, swinging her legs, admiring her slippers, unable to stop her silly grin, feeling extremely happy.
Before long, Cornelia noticed Su Cheng approaching and quickly straightened her legs, sitting casually on the sofa, pretending to play with her phone.
"Have a glass of water first."
Su Cheng brought a glass filled with 'Eight Nuclear Bombs' and placed it on Cornelia's table before leaving.
"Thank you."
Cornelia thanked him, maintaining her pride but still showing guest etiquette.
After Su Cheng left, her gaze fixed on the water on the table.
As an 'Eight Nuclear Bombs' enthusiast, she immediately recognized it.
She licked her lips, inwardly delighted.
She hadn't had any all day.
Seeing Su Cheng gone, she quickly stood up, grabbing the glass and gulping it down, not noticing the white liquid dripping from her mouth onto her shoes, eventually staining the carpet.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation on her foot, lifting her left foot to find water stains on her new slippers!
"No~"
Cornelia was stunned, her eyes wide, looking at her right foot, then full of shame and anger, quickly squatting down to take off her slippers.
Then, in a flurry, she pulled out tissues from her skirt to wipe the stains, but to no avail.
What should she do?
"Oh, I'm so clumsy!"
Cornelia was anxious.
Finally, she decided to blow on the slippers with her mouth, trying to dry the stains: "Huff huff~"
"What are you doing?!"
Even the well-experienced Su Cheng was baffled by this perplexing scene.
