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

Chapter 120 Mr. Shen, General Manager of Building Materials, challenges Young Master Li (5K)

Inside the room, two kittens were running around and playing.

Shen Yuan sat in his study, focused on the physics materials in his hands.

Study, what else can a senior high school student do besides study?

He's not some kind of genius.

An hour later, Shen Yuan finally raised his head again.

As Shen Yuan's pen hovered over the physics data, he caught a glimpse of the few blue and white White Rabbit candies on the table.

Some scraps of glutinous rice paper were sticking out from the edge of the packaging bag.

The cool air poured down from the air conditioner vents, but it couldn't extinguish the sticky, sweet fragrance in my memory.

He seemed to see Li Zhi's fingertips, holding a piece of candy, close to his lips, with bits of glutinous rice paper glistening between her lips.

Seeing the candy sliding in the beautiful girl's mouth, and feeling his heart pounding rapidly in his chest.

The pen was unconsciously gripped tighter.

When the tip of the tongue touches the palate, a phantom-painful sticky sensation spreads from the molars, and the feel of the toffee sticking firmly to the crown of the tooth is so strong.

Li Zhi felt a familiar burning sensation on the tips of his ears.

The beautiful girl raised her hand, gently stroked her cheek, and finally placed it on her earlobe.

Feeling the temperature change in her ear, Li Zhi unconsciously bit her lower lip.

Her long eyelashes drooped slightly as her gaze fell on the schoolbag lying to the side.

There was a blue and white toffee in the side pocket of the backpack.

One piece of candy was left behind.

Li Zhi lowered her eyes and stared at the lone blue and white milk candy in the side pocket of her schoolbag.

Her fingertips hovered over the nylon fabric for a moment before she reached into the bag and hooked out the candy.

Amidst the hum of the air conditioner, she slowly unwrapped the candy.

The milky white sugar is wrapped in translucent glutinous rice paper, which makes a very soft rustling sound when it is unwrapped.

Looking at the candy in her hand, Li Zhi brought it to her lips.

The moment the tip of the tongue touches the candy, the glutinous rice paper melts like the first snow, followed by a rich, milky aroma filling the nasal cavity.

Li Zhi subconsciously used his teeth to hold the candy, but the candy was still hard.

Once in your mouth, the candy begins to melt on your tongue, tasting as if someone is pouring syrup between your teeth.

After throwing the wrapper on the table into the trash can, Li Zhi stood up, a half-melted candy between her teeth, and walked towards the bathroom, the sticky syrup lingering on her tongue with each step.

Steam rose from the bathroom, instantly enveloping the exposed skin, the scent of milk mixed with the fragrance of shower gel lingering in the nostrils.

As the hot water from the showerhead slid over my collarbone, the candy melted into the last bit of sweetness, and my tongue unconsciously rubbed against my empty teeth, as if searching for any possible sweetness.

After drying his hair, Shen Yuan walked out of the bathroom.

He washed quickly, and the candy in his mouth hadn't completely melted yet.

"I can't let Li Zhi know that I secretly ate candy."

As Shen Yuan lay in bed, he thought to himself.

After scrolling through his phone for a while, Shen Yuan noticed that it was almost time, so he sent a message to Li Zhi.

The greeting was the same as always.

……

In the early morning, the moment Shen Yuan pushed open the security door, he subconsciously gripped the shoulder strap of his schoolbag.

Li Zhi was wearing a light gray sweatshirt today, with the neckline revealing half of her collarbone, and the light shone on the side seam of her sweatpants.

"Good morning." As Li Zhi turned around, a faint scent of citrus wafted from her hair.

"Wait, why aren't you wearing your school uniform today?"

Jiyang Middle School does not have strict requirements for school uniforms, and it is not even that strict about students' attire.

After all, if it weren't for that, Tong Churou wouldn't always be wearing stockings at school.

As for why Shen Yuan and Li Zhi always choose to wear school uniforms to school, the reason is actually quite simple.

School uniforms require no thought.

Although Shen Yuan was a bit lecherous, he also thought that it was pointless for high school students to spend so much time on dressing up.

Unless it's a coming-of-age ceremony or something similar, there's absolutely no need to dress up.

The girl tilted her head slightly: "I forgot to wash the clothes I took off the day before yesterday, so I can only wear my own clothes for now. But it's perfect, we have PE class today."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan rolled his eyes: "You talk as if you ever did sports in PE class."

“Taking a walk is also a form of exercise,” Li Zhi said confidently.

"Nonsense! A walk is definitely not exercise!"

Shen Yuan firmly denied that walking was a form of exercise, because if walking were truly exercise, then his system task time should have already reached the next reward stage.

In any case, Shen Yuan would never admit that walking is a form of exercise.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi coldly replied, "Think what you want."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator arrived, and with a "ding" sound, the elevator doors slowly opened.

Just as the beautiful young woman was about to step into the elevator, Shen Yuan's voice suddenly rang out from the side: "Hey! Wait!"

Li Zhi stopped and turned around to look at Shen Yuan with a puzzled expression, waiting for him to continue.

Shen Yuan swallowed hard and said, "You look so dull in these sportswear. I want to change into something too."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi frowned slightly, revealing a hint of impatience.

The pretty girl replied calmly, "Think what you want, but I won't wait for you."

After saying that, Li Zhi stepped into the elevator without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan's original plan to go home to change clothes was instantly interrupted. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to follow Li Zhi into the elevator.

Li Zhi watched Shen Yuan walk into the elevator, a slight smile playing on his lips as he said, "Why aren't you changing?"

Shen Yuan chuckled, scratched his head somewhat sheepishly, and explained, "I was just thinking, if I changed into other clothes, I might look too handsome, and I'm afraid you, Young Master Li, might not be able to resist."

Li Zhi scoffed at Shen Yuan's words, rolled his eyes at him without any politeness, and then pressed the close button on the elevator.

Perhaps because of what Li Zhi had said earlier, Shen Yuan didn't go to the steamed bun shop today. Instead, he found a savory pancake shop and bought an 8-yuan pancake and a bottle of plum juice.

As they passed by the steamed bun shop, Shen Yuan and the shop owner exchanged glances.

When the boss saw Shen Yuan wave the savory pancake in his hand, he knew that his challenger wouldn't be coming today.

At the same time, the boss breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Walking down the street, Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi's ponytail sway back and forth. He couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Li, are you really planning to practice in PE class today?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "We'll see. If you want, you can play badminton."

Hey, wanna come along?

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi expectantly: "It's been a while since we played together."

"we'll see."

Li Zhi did not give a clear answer.

Shen Yuan wasn't in a hurry, since the introduction was already there.

When the two returned to the classroom, Li Zhi had just finished eating what he had in his hands.

Before Shen Yuan could even take the Huanggang exam paper he had just brought out of his bag, he saw Sun Xiansheng rushing into the classroom.

"Yuan, Lao Yuan, I need your help! I'm in urgent need of help!" Sun Xiansheng went straight to Shen Yuan's seat as soon as he entered the room.

Shen Yuan looked at Sun Xiansheng blankly and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you finish your homework?"

Generally speaking, people like Sun Xiansheng who arrive at the classroom early are mostly rushing to copy homework because they haven't finished it.

Aside from that, Shen Yuan couldn't think of anything else Sun Xiansheng needed his help with.

Isn't it a good thing to be targeted by Nantong in the dormitory?

Sun Xiansheng quickly shook his head and explained in a very fast voice, "It's not about the homework, it's about Ashuai!"

"Ah Shuai? What happened to him again?" Shen Yuan frowned slightly, feeling curious about Sun Xiansheng's words.

"Isn't next Monday the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Sun Xiansheng took a deep breath and continued.

"Oh, right," Shen Yuan replied casually.

"I'm just acting as a strategist for Commander A."

"Get to the point!" Shen Yuan felt his patience was almost completely worn out.

Sun Xiansheng gave a slightly apologetic look, then quickly said, "It's Mid-Autumn Festival, and we have a day off, so I asked Ashuai to invite his neighbor's girl. But we've been thinking for ages and still can't decide where to go. Do you have any good ideas?"

Shen Yuan looked at Sun Xiansheng and blinked.

Shen Yuan pointed to himself, looking at Sun Xiansheng with a puzzled expression, as if asking:
"I?"

Sun Xiansheng nodded repeatedly, then looked at Shen Yuan with anticipation.

Shen Yuan was dumbfounded: "No, I've never been in a relationship before, how would I know where to ask my sister to go out?"

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, he saw Sun Xiansheng's gaze fall on Li Zhi, and then on himself.

Shen Yuan gleaned a meaning from Sun Xiansheng's eyes.

—What does Li Zhi count for?
Shen Yuan wanted to say that they were childhood sweethearts, but that would only make things more complicated.

Shen Yuan glared at Sun Xiansheng, then quickly searched his memory for places he and Li Zhi had been together.

"Jiyang is so big, there are so many places to go! There's Xi Shi's hometown, the city square, the old street, Wuxie, and if all else fails, you can always climb Eagle Mountain in the back!"

Sun Xiansheng frowned slightly upon hearing Shen Yuan's words.

However, his gaze toward Shen Yuan held a newfound certainty.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan became even more puzzled. He looked at Sun Xiansheng and asked in bewilderment, "Really? Aren't you supposed to be a strategist? How come you don't even know something like this?"

Sun Xiansheng shook his head, looked at Shen Yuan with a firm gaze, and slowly said, "Yuan, I now believe that you have never been in a relationship."

Shen Yuan:?
Shen Yuan covered his chest with his hand, feeling as if he had been insulted.

"You son of a bitch, I'm giving you advice, and you're going to unleash true damage on me?!"

Sun Xiansheng chuckled awkwardly, "Just kidding, just kidding."

As he spoke, Sun Xiansheng sat down in Chen Mingyu's seat and said seriously, "Yuan, what I want is to know exactly what to do, not the location."

"Teacher Monkey, please listen to my advice."

Shen Yuan said seriously, "Just let Ashuai take his sister to an internet cafe and book a private room. Then you don't need to worry about anything. Ashuai and his sister will find a way out on their own."

After listening to Shen Yuan's opinion, Sun Xiansheng ran his fingers through his hair and said with a pained expression, "I'm not reconciled."

"As a strategist, I'm not willing to just play matchmaker for a couple! If they get married and invite me to dinner, I'll be too embarrassed to say that I was the one who brought them together."

Sun Xiansheng looked at Shen Yuan and said, "Think about it, if others find out that I was the one who brought them together, they'll definitely ask. When they do, I'll tell them I had them go to an internet cafe for a date."

"Dating, dating is easy, but going to an internet cafe for a date."

Sun Xiansheng patted his face: "A man has a sense of shame."

Shen Yuan shook his head: "Then I can't help you. Some things are different for different people. For someone like Ah Shuai, I think going to an internet cafe for a date is more suitable."

Sun Xiansheng nodded: "I understand."

After saying this, Sun Xiansheng got up and left.

After Sun Xiansheng left, Shen Yuan suddenly stood up, put his index and middle fingers together to form a sword gesture, and pointed at Li Zhi in mid-air with exaggerated force.

"Did you just laugh?"

Li Zhi slowly twirled the pen tip, a smile playing on his lips: "I'm smiling right now too."

When the beautiful girl tilted her head back, her high ponytail swept across her light gray hoodie, and from Shen Yuan's angle, he could see her collarbone peeking out from the crooked neckline.

Its elusive appearance sparks the imagination.

Shen Yuan let out a cold snort, his palms braced against the gap between the two desks, his forward-leaning body already beyond the 38th parallel.

"you……"

Shen Yuan lowered his voice and made a show of bravado.

Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, Li Zhi suddenly stepped back, covering his collar with one hand and looking at Shen Yuan with a wary expression.

"Hey, hey, what do you mean? What do you mean?" Shen Yuan said, dissatisfied.

Li Zhi responded by glaring back fiercely.

"Serlan!"

"not me……"

"What do you want to do!"

Seeing Li Zhi's dangerous gaze, Shen Yuan scratched his head.

"Okay, I just wanted to ask you how you're planning to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan in annoyance.

She then turned her head, and her ponytail swayed to one side with her movement.

"we'll talk about it then."

After saying that, Li Zhi focused his attention back on the test paper in front of him.

When the rest of the students arrived in the classroom, Li Zhi was already correcting the Huanggang exam paper he had brought home the day before.

If I had to pick the most anticipated thing on Tuesdays, it would probably be the morning's physical education class.

For senior high school students, physical education class is like a chance to get some fresh air.

Moreover, Class 15 gets to have their fourth PE class, which is a rare treat!
Most importantly, no teachers changed classes today!

As the bell rang for the third period, the students in Class 15 could no longer contain their excitement.

We were just waiting for the physics teacher's signal, and then we would rush to the playground and start having a great time.

The physics teacher could probably see what his group of stupid kids were thinking, and knew that if he continued lecturing, he wouldn't be able to get their attention.

"I'll let you go after I finish explaining this problem."

The physics teacher was quite fast; he finished the question in just 3 minutes.

As soon as the word "get out of class dismissed" rang out, everyone in Class 15 rushed out of the classroom.

"Come on, come on! Today your dad is going to show you what a super basketball idol is all about!"

Ah Jie got up and started shouting.

"You don't even know what basketball is called in English, so don't try to combine Chinese and Western styles!"

"Heh, Dad will show you what a real difference in strength means in a moment!"

Ah Jie, carrying a basketball, dashed across the corridor, and the boys rushed towards the playground.

After more than a month of getting to know each other, A-Jie and the others also realized that Shen Yuan didn't really like sports like basketball, so they usually didn't invite Shen Yuan to play basketball.

Unless there really isn't enough people.

Shen Yuan slowly stuffed the physics test paper into the drawer, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Li Zhi tidying up the desk with his eyes down.

He turned around and braced himself against the edge of the table, half his body crossing the dividing line: "Young Master Li, are you going to play badminton later?"

Li Zhi paused in her tidying up, her ponytail brushing against her shoulder as she looked up.

"we'll see."

Li Zhi said casually, then stood up and greeted He Zhiyu. The two walked out of the classroom together.

Upon seeing this, Zhuo Peipei quickly followed.

"no……"

Shen Yuan watched helplessly as the three walked away, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "I'm not here, how are you two sugar figurines supposed to eat candy? I'm the key person here, okay!"

With that, Shen Yuan stood up helplessly.

On the playground, the physical education teacher did the usual routine of running exercises, followed by free time.

Shen Yuan was eager to spar with Li Zhi, so he quickly rummaged through the equipment room and found two badminton rackets, then picked up a few shuttlecocks that looked to be in decent condition.

When Shen Yuan walked out of the equipment room with the equipment in high spirits, he immediately saw Li Zhizheng leaning leisurely against the wall outside the equipment room with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had been waiting for him there for a long time.

"Young Master Li, this is a rare opportunity!"

Shen Yuan shouted excitedly, handing one of the rackets to Li Zhi at the same time.

Li Zhi smiled as he took the racket and said, "It's agreed beforehand that the loser has to provide all the late-night snacks for a week."

"No problem!" Shen Yuan readily agreed.

A gentle breeze caressed the girl's hair, and the sunlight gilded the smile on the boy's face.

The gymnasium has badminton courts, and Shen Yuan and Li Zhi quickly found a place to play.

"How do we fight?" Li Zhi asked.

"11 balls, whoever gets to the top first wins, best of three."

Because we need to eat during the fourth period, we can't play for too long.

Li Zhi nodded and stood behind the line: "You serve first, try it out."

"Snapped!"

The shuttlecock traced a silvery arc across the net, and Li Zhifei quickly raised his hand to receive Shen Yuan's serve.

A dull thud was heard as the ball struck the racket.

As Shen Yuan watched the ball fall toward him, he swung his hand and returned a high lob.

Li Zhi watched Shen Yuan's movements, raised his head slightly, and his eyes were full of focus.

The next second, Li Zhi's arm was already raised.

The moment the racket was swung, a crisp sound rang out from the racket.

"Oh!"

A clean and crisp spike!

But Li Zhi did not relax in the slightest.

As childhood friends, Li Zhi was very clear about Shen Yuan's abilities.

Because of their parents, the two have been badminton partners since childhood.

Normally, the parents play doubles on the sidelines while the two of them play singles.

Although Li Zhi had less time to play basketball after entering high school, he still knew Shen Yuan very well.

As expected, Shen Yuan easily received Li Zhi's spike.

As the badminton shuttlecock fell towards him, Li Zhi swung his hand and swatted it back.

But this time, Shen Yuan didn't return the shot. Instead, he seized the opportunity and steadily stopped the ball on his racket.

"Warm-up complete?"

Li Zhi nodded.

"So……"

Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, He Zhiyu ran to the net and loudly announced, "Now, the badminton match between Shen Yuan from Class 15 and Li Zhi from Class 15 officially begins!"

"This match will be exclusively sponsored by the Jiyang Middle School Ke Xue Association, and broadcast with the school's confession wall as the broadcasting sponsor!"
