I'm a senior in high school, and the system says I'm going on a blind date with my childho

Chapter 113 Keep it down, he's sleeping
Perhaps because "The Stealer" wasn't updated today, Shen Yuan wasn't in the mood to go to the steamed bun shop and compete with the owner.

Like Li Zhi, he bought an egg pancake from a roadside vendor.

"I've noticed you seem to have a particular fondness for egg pancakes," Shen Yuan said, looking at Li Zhi with curiosity.

Shen Yuan was also calculating in his mind how many days in a row he had seen Li Zhi eating egg pancakes.
Three days? Or five days?
With an egg pancake in his mouth, Li Zhi mumbled, "Is there a problem?"

Shen Yuan shook his head and said with a smile, "It's not a big problem, but I'm curious, don't you get tired of eating egg pancakes every day?"

Li Zhi swallowed the food in her mouth and retorted, "What about you? Don't you eat steamed buns every day? I've never seen you get tired of them."

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting Li Zhi to say that.

He thought about it and realized that what Li Zhi said seemed to make some sense.

My favorite breakfast is one I can't get tired of.

Just then, Li Zhi suddenly looked at Shen Yuan with surprise, as if he had discovered something new, and said, "Could it be... that your purpose in eating the steamed bun wasn't for the bun itself? But for the old man..."

She covered her mouth with her hand, looking at Shen Yuan with surprise, as if she had thought of something incredible.

Shen Yuan was startled by Li Zhi's reaction. He glared at Li Zhi and said irritably, "Shut up, you fujoshi!"

Seeing this, Li Zhi chuckled and teased, "I told you so, didn't I? Look at you, you've already broken down."

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue with Li Zhi anymore.

Li Shao is clearly teasing me now. As long as I shut up, Li Shao won't bother arguing with me anymore.

Back in the classroom.

Shen Yuan took the lead, quickly walked to Li Zhi's seat, and then plopped down in it.

"I'm home!"

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan and said irritably, "Come out here!"

"Eh?"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi with a suspicious expression, seemingly quite surprised by Li Zhi's words, "Wait, didn't you say before that you didn't want to sit in the middle? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi raised her chin slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible arrogance: "What's wrong? I suddenly want to sit in the middle, is that not allowed?"

Li Zhi's tone was somewhat forceful, as if he didn't want to explain further.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, of course."

After saying that, he stood up and quickly returned to his seat.

Seeing this, Li Zhi also sat down in his own seat.

However, as soon as she sat down, she noticed a gaze falling on her.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Shen Yuanzheng staring at him with a smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Zhi frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure.

However, Shen Yuan did not answer Li Zhi's question. He simply shook his head slightly and then buried his head in his arms, as if preparing to take a short nap.

Seeing Shen Yuan's appearance, Li Zhi had some doubts, but he was too lazy to ask any further questions.

"Get some rest first. Look at you, you look so weak," Li Zhi said to Shen Yuan in an annoyed tone.

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan simply replied, "Okay, okay, remember to wake me up during morning self-study."

After saying that, he lay down on his desk, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

It has to be said that Shen Yuan's sleep quality is really good.

Normally, he can fall asleep almost immediately as soon as he lies down, and he sleeps very soundly.

Of course, unless he has something on his mind.

For example, the fact that "The Stealer" has not been updated.

When He Zhiyu entered the classroom, her gaze was immediately drawn to Shen Yuan, who was fast asleep on the desk.

Meanwhile, Li Zhizheng was sitting quietly in his seat, reading a book.

"Good morning, Zhizhi!" He Zhiyu greeted Li Zhi warmly.

"Good morning, Zhiyu!" Li Zhi replied with a smile.

He Zhiyu pointed at Shen Yuan curiously and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

Li Zhi shrugged helplessly and replied, "I'm not too sure either. When I came out this morning, I saw that he looked listless and weak. Maybe he stayed up late last night doing something."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he gave He Zhiyu a knowing look.

Li Zhi did not tell He Zhiyu that the reason Shen Yuan had not slept well was because "The Stealer" had not been updated.

Therefore, He Zhiyu simply assumed that Shen Yuan might have stayed up late playing games or doing other things.

For He Zhiyu, these were just trivial matters.

It's quite normal for young people to stay up late playing games occasionally.

After listening to Li Zhi's explanation, He Zhiyu suddenly realized something. She turned to Li Zhi and said, "Hey, Zhizhi, aren't you planning to switch seats with Shen Yuan this time?"

Li Zhi nodded and explained, "Switching back and forth is too troublesome, and it's inconvenient to carry things. It's more convenient to sit in my own seat."

“That’s true.” He Zhiyu said understandingly, and then sat down in her seat.

After putting down her schoolbag, He Zhiyu turned around and her gaze fell on Li Zhi. A hint of surprise flickered in her voice: "Zhizhi, do you know what? 'The Stealer' didn't update yesterday!"

Li Zhi was engrossed in the book in his hands, his head down, seemingly oblivious to He Zhiyu's words.

However, from He Zhiyu's perspective, Li Zhi's lips were twitching uncontrollably, as if something was making her unable to bear it.

However, Li Zhi quickly composed himself, raised his head, and looked at He Zhiyu with a calm gaze, as if nothing had just happened.

"Oh, really? So what?" Her tone was as calm as a stagnant pool.

He Zhiyu chuckled twice and explained, "I just find it a bit strange. After all, the sweet stories on the confession wall are usually updated on Sundays. The sudden cessation of updates for 'The Stealer' feels like it's going to have a bad ending."

Li Zhi blinked, seemingly unconcerned about He Zhiyu's statement.

She responded casually, "Oh, so what if it's a bad ending? It's not a big deal. We're all seniors in high school now. Focusing on our studies is the most important thing. It's much more meaningful than spending time writing those so-called sweet romance novels."

Li Zhi's words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into He Zhiyu's heart.

Good words are warm in the winter, and bad words hurt the cold in June.

He Zhiyu's smile froze: "It's just, just a little bit of emotional comfort."

Looking at her best friend, Li Zhi calmly said, "That's considered doing good deeds."

The young author is seriously injured and needs urgent medical attention.

He Zhiyu slowly turned around and began tidying up her desk.

However, in a corner unseen by Li Zhi, the young author breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that Zhizhi really hasn't read 'Inside Job'."

He Zhiyu had a purpose in the conversation just now.

The problem is that "The Stealer" was not updated last night.

This is the first time He Zhiyu has not updated on time since he started writing "The Stealer". Although it was Zhuo Peipei's idea, He Zhiyu still felt quite sorry for the readers who liked his book.

"Diabetes friends" is what the "Diabetes Study Association" refers to its members who read articles about diabetes together.

The conversation just now was because He Zhiyu wanted to test whether Li Zhi was actually reading "The Stealer".

Although she was deeply hurt in the end, the good news is that Li Zhizhen never watched "The Stealer" again!

and many more……

The person in question says their own sweet romance stories aren't good, so why should I be happy?

He Zhiyu immediately accepted the gift.

After He Zhiyu arrived at the classroom, Ji Ningning followed.

Ji Ningning felt sad at the thought of sitting with Shen Yuan today.

As for why Ji Ningning was so sure that her deskmate wasn't Shen Yuan, it was because she had overheard Li Zhi's words last time.

Well, that's how Ji Ningning sees her classmate.

Li Zhi said she didn't like sitting in the middle, so she probably really didn't like sitting in the middle.

Given the relationship between Shen Yuan and Li Zhi, Shen Yuan would definitely switch seats with Li Zhi. Therefore, when Ji Ningning walked into the classroom, her gaze naturally fell on Li Zhi, who was sitting in the middle seat.

In that instant, a look of surprise flashed across Ji Ningning's face, as if she had not expected to see Li Zhi here.

This slight surprise vanished in an instant, replaced by undisguised delight.

This surprise was like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds in the morning, instantly illuminating Ji Ningning's entire world.

Her mood instantly brightened, as if a warm spring breeze had swept over her.

Ji Ningning walked briskly to her seat, a faint smile on her lips the whole way.

When she walked up to Li Zhi, she unusually took the initiative to greet him: "Good morning, Li Zhi."

This greeting was so unusual to Ji Ningning that even she herself was somewhat surprised.

Normally, Ji Ningning and Li Zhi have very limited interactions, let alone such a warm greeting.

Upon hearing Ji Ningning's voice, Li Zhi slowly raised her head, her gaze meeting Ji Ningning's. A hint of doubt flickered in her eyes, as if she were somewhat surprised by Ji Ningning's enthusiastic attitude.

After all, given their relationship, Ji Ningning shouldn't be greeting her with such a happy expression.

Despite some doubts, Li Zhi politely nodded to Ji Ningning and replied, "You too."

Ji Ningning looked at Li Zhi, her smile growing even brighter, like a flower blooming in spring. She happily exclaimed, "I feel so motivated to study today!"

Li Zhi simply nodded slightly, then softly reminded him, "Keep your voice down."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ningning was taken aback. Following Li Zhi's directions, she saw that Shen Yuan, who was sitting next to Li Zhi, was fast asleep, slumped over the table.

"He's sleeping."

"Oh! Ah! Okay! Okay!" Ji Ningning nodded quickly, her voice unconsciously becoming much softer.

What on earth is going on?!
Li Shao wasn't very popular in class before, but ever since Shen Yuan took over all the firepower, people in the class have started paying more attention to Li Shao.

During the late-night chats in the dormitory of the boarding students, Li Shao's name appeared more frequently.

Especially the boys' dormitories.

High school students, who doesn't have a crush on someone?

However, since Shen Yuan and Li Zhi were quite close, the silly boys in Class 15 would only say a few words about Li Zhi and wouldn't bring up any other nonsense.

Late-night chats in girls' dormitories usually tend to focus on gossip.

Among the gossip surrounding Li Zhi, the most popular topic is probably the relationship between Li Zhi and Shen Yuan.

Ji Ningning belongs to the group that doesn't think Li Zhi and Shen Yuan have a chance.

After all, in her opinion, although the two were close, Li Zhi did not feel any romantic feelings towards Shen Yuan.

But now, Ji Ningning has changed her mind.

Ji Ningning suddenly realized how superficial her understanding had been before.

These two are absolutely, absolutely, absolutely suspicious!

Ji Ningning suppressed her shock and began tidying up her desk.

Even so, Ji Ningning's thoughts were on Shen Yuan and Li Zhi.

Ah Jie burst into the classroom, his voice preceding his arrival as he boomed in Shen Yuan's direction, "Yuan! Your dearest father—"

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if he had been stabbed by some invisible cold.

Looking up, I was met with Li Zhi's face.

Li Shao's originally lowered eyelashes lifted, and his dark eyes fell on him as if they were frozen in ice.

It was the height of summer in mid-September, but Ah Jie felt icy cold all over.

Under Li Shao's serious gaze, A-Jie's last words caught in his throat, and his hand, raised halfway to pat Shen Yuan's shoulder, froze.

He saw that Li Zhi's left hand was still on the exam paper, while her right index finger was silently pressed against her lips. This action caused the morning light leaking in from the window to condense into a cold silver line at her fingertips.

Shen Yuan, who was lying on the table, was completely unaware of this. His wispy hair rose and fell slightly with his even breathing, and there was still oil stains from the egg pancake on the corner of his mouth.

Ah Jie swallowed hard, tiptoed to his seat, and even the act of pulling out the chair was broken down into three careful steps.

When his bottom finally touched the chair, Li Zhi had already lowered his eyes again.

Only when he felt that sharp gaze disappear did Ah Jie slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

However, while Ah-Jie breathed a sigh of relief, Zhuo Pei-Pei, the leader of the Ke Xue Association who had already arrived in the classroom, completely lost her mind after seeing this scene.

He Zhiyu was even more distressed. After realizing something was wrong, the young author had been paying close attention to how things were developing, and the tips of his fingers, which were gripping the pen, turned slightly white.

Although there was no interaction between Li Zhi and Shen Yuan at this time, even so, when Li Zhi's warning gaze fell into He Zhiyu's eyes, it instantly melted into a tenderness that she had never written in "The Stealer".

The pen tip clicked through the draft paper, and a hot, tingling sensation shot up my spine.

This is a hundred times more exciting than fictional romance novels!
He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei's gazes suddenly collided above the corridor.

Zhuo Peipei was gripping the strap of her schoolbag tightly, her eyes behind her glasses were frighteningly bright, while He Zhiyu's lower lip was already white from biting it. They both read a thunderous scream in each other's eyes.

It turns out that the tension between real-life couples can really make you feel breathless!

He Zhiyu stared at the grease from the egg pancake on Shen Yuan's lips. That was clearly icing sugar!

He Zhiyu immediately decided, "I'm going back today and rewrite the entire manuscript!"
What kind of rubbish did I write before?!
Gan!
Li Zhi suddenly noticed the eerie silence around her. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not look around randomly.

Although Li Zhi didn't know why this reaction occurred, he knew exactly what he needed to do.

Hide it well, you must hide it well!

These guys absolutely cannot let them find out that they're paying attention to them now!
Otherwise, these guys in the Coke Club would be celebrating the New Year today.

However, Li Zhi did not notice that, due to nervousness, she twirled her pen much faster than before.

Unfortunately, such a small action was not enough to attract the attention of Zhuo Peipei and He Zhiyu.

Just as everyone was having different thoughts, Shen Yuan, who was in the center of attention, suddenly made a move.

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

The moment Shen Yuan made a move, everyone's attention immediately focused on him again.

However, Shen Yuan only moved his head slightly.

He smacked his lips and licked away the sugar, or rather, the grease, from his mouth.

In an instant, a common thought resonated in everyone's mind.

Sand coin Shen Yuan!

As for Ah Jie, he didn't think that way.

He hates!

Shen Yuan ultimately did not sleep until the start of morning self-study.

As more and more people filled the classroom, Li Zhi felt it was inappropriate to warn everyone.

"Aha--"

Shen Yuan stretched lazily.

After clearing his head, Shen Yuan lazily sat up and then looked at Li Zhi's face.

The morning light slanted across Li Zhi's lowered eyelashes, casting a shimmering golden glow on her porcelain-white profile.

The girl's skin appeared translucent white under the sunlight, which reminded him of the lychee jelly he had specially frozen in the freezer during the summer.

Good morning, Young Master Li.

Hearing Shen Yuan's lazy voice, Li Zhi gave him a disgruntled look.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep! Not getting proper rest at night and then catching up on sleep in the morning—how much time have you wasted reading time?"

Shen Yuan grinned foolishly: "I'll catch up now! I'll start reading right now!"

After saying that, Shen Yuan immediately put down the Chinese textbook.

Today's morning reading session is for Chinese, so no slacking off is allowed.
