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

Chapter 121 My Cousin Ruins My Good Deeds! (5k)

The competition was not as friendly as He Zhiyu had imagined.

From the very beginning, Shen Yuan and Li Zhijian's serves immediately entered a state of "dirty play".

"Young Master Li! There's a handsome guy over there!"

Shen Yuan suddenly shouted, and before he could finish speaking, he had already swiftly sent the ball out.

"With such a paltry trick, you're going to sit at the kids' table!"

Li Zhi slapped the ball back without any mercy, even aiming it directly at Shen Yuan's face.

The scent of citrus wafted from the swaying of the ponytail, and the crisp sound of the racket hitting the down feathers echoed in the gymnasium.

The soles of their shoes rubbed against the rubber floor, making a screeching sound. He Zhiyu watched the ball fly between them, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the water bottle.

"Wow, this is too intense!" Zhuo Peipei couldn't help but swallow hard, stunned by the scene before her.

As time ticked by, the atmosphere on the field grew increasingly tense.

Just when everyone thought the match would remain close, Shen Yuan suddenly unleashed a rapid spike, sending the ball flying straight towards Li Zhi like a cannonball.

Li Zhi failed to catch the ball.

"One to zero!" He Zhiyu shouted excitedly.

Li Zhi looked at the badminton shuttlecock that had landed on the court, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Tsk, looks like I haven't played for a while, I've gotten rusty," Li Zhi said casually.

Shen Yuan chuckled and replied bluntly, "Don't make excuses for yourself, being bad is being bad."

Li Zhi picked up the badminton shuttlecock with his racket and said, "Shut up, you noob!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi had already hit the ball.

"You cheated too!"

Shen Yuan hastily retaliated.

"You're acting like you're not cheating!"

Li Zhimeng swung her racket, and the ball hit her racket face as she suddenly leaped up, turning into a meteor and crashing into the back corner of the court.

However, just when Li Zhi thought he was about to score, Shen Yuanfei quickly took two big steps back and hit the ball back at an extreme angle!

But Li Zhi was already waiting at the net, and with a gentle swing of his racket, he returned the shuttlecock.

Li Zhi hit the ball very lightly, almost grazing the edge of the net.

Shen Yuan was at the back of the court at that moment, and there was no way he could catch the ball. He could only watch helplessly as the ball fell to the ground.

"Tsk."

"Yiping!" He Zhiyu exclaimed excitedly.

Shen Yuan picked up the ball and quickly began to return the ball.

"Four to three!"

As He Zhiyu announced the score, Shen Yuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead.

Li Zhi's breathing became slightly rapid at this moment, and the shadow of her collarbone rose and fell with her breath.

After picking up the ball, Li Zhi immediately served again.

After a few exchanges, Shen Yuan pretended to hit a high clear but suddenly dropped a short shot.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhi had already anticipated this. The sole of his shoe made a screeching sound as it rubbed against the rubber surface. As he lunged forward, the side seam of his athletic pants stretched out in a smooth arc, and his racket barely grazed the ground as he lifted the ball up.

"Trying to cheat?"

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow and stood up, her hair damp with fine sweat clinging to her neck.

Shen Yuan's hasty return shot hit her racket face as she suddenly leaped up, turning into a meteor and crashing into the back corner of the court.

……

"Ten flats!"

The first match point has been awarded.

The badminton shuttlecock, accompanied by a whooshing sound, tore through the air, leaving afterimages at both ends of the court.

Shen Yuan hunched over, staring intently at Li Zhiyang's raised racket face, sweat dripping down his chin and staining the ground with dark spots.

As Li Zhi leaped up and smashed the ball, Shen Yuan caught it precisely and swept it back.

But at this moment, Li Zhi's figure had already landed in the right position to hit the ball.

"Oh!"

Another smash!

Shen Yuan returned another high clear.

"Oh!"

Another smash!

He Zhiyu watched the badminton shuttlecock go back and forth, her heart pounding in her chest.

Just as He Zhiyu thought Li Zhi would smash the ball down from the height, he saw Li Zhi also lob the ball high.

Shen Yuan keenly grasped this point.

Li Zhi was tired.

With his abundant energy, Shen Yuan's physical strength recovered much faster than Li Zhi's.

With twenty balls going back and forth in a fierce attack, Li Zhi's stamina was gradually exhausted.

Each shot required more effort from her, and her breathing became increasingly rapid.

After a high clear, Shen Yuan clearly saw Li Zhi's fatigue.

Her panting was particularly noticeable.

As the white shuttlecock fell from the heights, the racket and the cold, silvery light reflected from the overhead lamp intertwined, creating a brief yet unforgettable scene.

His racket was like a fierce venomous snake, slamming the ball into the opposite corner with a sharp arc.

"Oh!"

A crisp sound echoed across the field, as if the last glimmer of hope in Li Zhi's heart had been shattered.

She knew she had lost the game even before she heard the voice.

Li Zhi watched helplessly as the badminton shuttlecock landed, a sense of helplessness and frustration welling up inside him.

He Zhiyu, standing to the side, stared blankly at the scene unfolding before her, seemingly still in shock.

Shen Yuan swung his racket triumphantly, a victorious smile spreading across his face.

"I'll win this small round first, do you still have the energy to play?"

Despite her exhaustion, Li Zhi forced herself to sit up, rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan, and replied irritably, "That's all, I'm tired."

Seeing this, Shen Yuan stopped arguing, slung his racket over his shoulder, and then, like a nimble monkey, swayed to the net in two steps at a time.

Then he wandered over to Li Zhi's side, seemingly still not satisfied with his victory.

At this moment, Li Zhi was half-squatting, trying to adjust his breathing.

Sweat beaded on her forehead and neck, and her wet ponytail clung to her skin, trembling slightly with her rapid breathing.

Shen Yuan suddenly leaned closer, and the scent of citrus mixed with the steaming heat of sweat wafted over him.

At such close range, Shen Yuan could see beads of sweat trickling down Li Zhi's neck and down to the hollow of his collarbone.

"You seem a bit weak, Young Master Li."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and poked her trembling shoulder with his fingertip.

My clothes were already soaked with sweat, and I could feel the heat rising from under my skin even through the thin layer.

Li Zhi looked up and glared at Shen Yuan, the fine beads of sweat on her eyelashes reflecting the light like shattered diamonds.

Before she could even speak, a drop of sweat splattered onto the net string of the racket that Shen Yuan had swung in front of her.

"I haven't been training enough, so I can't beat you anymore."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Oh, what are you saying, Young Master Li? It's just a badminton game. It's all in the past now."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi's dissatisfaction intensified. She couldn't help but roll her eyes, and an urge to give Shen Yuan a good beating surged into her heart.

"You must have noticed I'm out of energy!" Li Zhi said irritably.

Shen Yuan chuckled upon hearing this and nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I noticed. Your spikes were getting weaker and weaker, so I knew you were tired."

Li Zhi rolled her eyes and suddenly grabbed Shen Yuan's wrist as he was about to pull it back.

His sweaty palms pressed against his burning skin, glistening with tiny droplets of moisture under the stadium's overhead lights.

"You can clearly feel that the power of your spikes has decreased." Li Zhi panted as he poked Shen Yuan's chest with the handle of his racket, the sweat from his hair spreading into dark dots on Shen Yuan's school uniform.

The pretty girl said with a hint of reproach, "Can't you just let me have my way?"

Shen Yuan seized the handle of the paddle against his chest, his Adam's apple bobbing with sweat as he laughed.

Shen Yuan slowly leaned down, getting closer to Li Zhi. The citrus-scented shampoo on the beautiful girl mingled with the hormonal scent emanating from her after exercise, creating a unique aroma.

A few glistening beads of sweat, which had just fallen from Li Zhifang's hands, still clung to the net strings of the racket, as if telling the story of the intense battle that had just taken place.

“If we were really going to throw the game,” Shen Yuan flicked the net cable with his finger, water droplets splashing onto Li Zhi’s flushed cheeks, “this match should have ended long ago.”

Hearing this, He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei both swallowed hard.

To be honest, Shen Yuan is indeed quite important at times.

But soon, the two little sugar figures stopped smiling.

Seeing the triumphant smile reflected in Li Zhi's wide almond-shaped eyes, Shen Yuan suddenly became serious and pressed down on her still trembling shoulders: "But there are no trophies given away in the arena."

What kind of Sigma man is speaking?!
You're just making a perfectly sweet scene, stop going crazy!

If He Zhiyu hadn't held her back, Zhuo Peipei would have rushed up and punched Shen Yuan twice right now.

But the emotions that Zhuo Peipei experienced were different from those of Zhuo Peipei.

Seeing Shen Yuan's serious expression, Li Zhi suddenly chuckled amidst his rapid breathing.

"It's quite fitting for your persona to say that."

Li Zhi released Shen Yuan's wrist and handed the racket to Shen Yuan.

"Tch, you'll be unhappy if we actually loosen the rules."

"Humph!"

The beautiful girl staggered to her feet, her neck, glistening with sweat, taut in a defiant arc, while the corners of her glistening lips curled up even higher than usual.

"Zhizhi, drink some water."

He Zhiyu handed over a bottle of mineral water, and Li Zhi immediately handed it to Shen Yuan. "Open it."

"As ordered."

As a gentleman of the new era, since the lady had expressed that she could not open the bottle cap, Shen Yuan naturally took the water bottle.

The muscles in his forearms taut under the overhead light, forming smooth lines. With a crisp "click," a drop of water splashed out as he unscrewed the bottle cap, landing right between the two of them.

"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength."

After handing the water to Li Zhi, Shen Yuan went to collect the ball.

Since we can't play anymore, we should return the equipment now.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to leave, he heard Li Zhi's voice from behind.

"I definitely won't lose next time."

Li Shao looked at Shen Yuan stubbornly.

Shen Yuan nodded: "You really need to practice cooking more to improve!"

"Shen Yuan!"

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, Shen Yuan disappeared in a flash.

Watching Shen Yuan's disappearing figure, Li Zhi felt a little puzzled.

"How did this guy's stamina get so good?"

It's only been a short time since the fight, and Shen Yuan can already run and jump.

Compared to Shen Yuan, I have indeed neglected physical exercise during this period.

After handing the equipment to the equipment room, Shen Yuan went to the restroom.

When Shen Yuan returned to the gymnasium, Li Zhi was taking a walk and resting.

Looking at Li Zhi's figure, Shen Yuan curled his lips.

"Damn, I hadn't noticed before, this brat is so well-developed?"

In fact, Shen Yuan was actually holding back. During a badminton match, Shen Yuan's attention was sometimes unable to focus on the badminton at all!

How can anyone concentrate when they're jumping around like that!
Otherwise, Shen Yuan wouldn't have been able to fight Li Zhi to a draw; the match would have ended long ago!
"Do you want to bring lunch? If you do, go back and rest early." Shen Yuan's voice suddenly came from the side. Li Zhi looked up at him and slowly shook her head.

"I'm just tired, not useless," Li Zhi said irritably, seemingly unappreciative of Shen Yuan's concern.

"But they actually look quite similar." Shen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi rolled her eyes and retorted, "Who's to blame?! They knew I was out of stamina but kept trying to get me to spike the ball!"

"You didn't have to deduct it, and you didn't in the end," Shen Yuan said innocently.

"That's because I'm out of energy!" Li Zhi's voice unconsciously rose eight octaves. "I don't care, just tell me what to do?"

Seeing this, Shen Yuan thought for a moment and cautiously suggested, "Shall I massage your calves?"

"Get lost!" Li Zhi refused without hesitation. "I'll go ask Sister Shui for a massage gun later."

"This thing exists?!" Shen Yuan exclaimed, his mouth agape in astonishment, as if he had heard something utterly unbelievable.

Li Zhi shrugged nonchalantly, "I don't know, but it probably is."

Shen Yuan was completely speechless; he really didn't know where to begin complaining.

Just how many strange and wonderful things are hidden in my cousin's workstation?
Hair dryers are one thing, but now there are even massage guns? Yang Yishui, what exactly do you do at work?
The answer was: to fish.

During the afternoon English class, my older cousin grabbed Shen Yuan and made him translate.

Then I explained the questions while Shen Yuan was translating.

Wow, that makes things much easier.

Inadvertently insert willows and willows.

What does it mean to plan ahead?
Yang Yishui felt that she was more motivated to go to work.

However, Yang Yishui did not notice that his cousin was feeling a bit resentful at this moment.

why?

Because my older cousin really has a fascia gun.

Watching Li Zhi use a massage gun to stimulate his calf muscles, Shen Yuan always felt an indescribable envy.

Tsk, if my older cousin didn't have a fascia gun, would she be the one helping Li Zhi relax his calves?

"Shen Yuan."

Shen Yuan turned to look at his older cousin beside him, his eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

"Go on," my older cousin said, pointing to a reading comprehension passage. "Just keep going."

"Oh."

Shen Yuan responded and then continued to act as his older cousin's human translation machine.

While listening to Shen Yuan's translation to see if it was right or wrong, the older cousin smiled as she looked at Zhou Shaojie standing by the aisle.

At this moment, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe Zhou Shaojie as being on high alert.

He was sitting upright, but what was the reality?
He completely concealed his English exam paper under his pile of books.

In this way, Zhou Shaojie wouldn't have to worry about his older cousin seeing his terribly done English homework.

It just didn't last long.

With one step, Yang Yishui arrived beside Zhou Shaojie.

Then his gaze fell on Zhou Shaojie's homework.

Yang Yishui did not correct homework today.

However, the corrections on A-Jie's exam paper were far too obvious.

Yang Yishui didn't say anything and continued with her lesson.

The general approach to reviewing English is to go over the questions while reviewing.

My older cousin has a much more convenient time management system in class compared to other teachers.

Zhou Ruolan, who teaches Chinese, is in a similar situation.

After English class, her older cousin took a gummy candy out of her pocket and put it on Shen Yuan's desk: "Take this, it's your reward."

Holding the gummy candies, Shen Yuan protested, "Is my salary really that low?!"

I'll treat you to pizza tonight!

"Call me again next time, sis!" Shen Yuan waved to his older cousin's retreating figure.

After his older cousin left the classroom, Shen Yuan peeled open a gummy candy and ate it in one bite.

"Tsk, that feels good. Dinner's all set now?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi rested her chin on her hand and said, "That's great, someone even brought you dinner."

"Hey, stop being sarcastic," Shen Yuan warned, like a husky.

"Oh."

Young Master Li gave a perfunctory reply.

"Do you want to eat it? If you do, I'll ask my older cousin to buy more."

Li Zhi shook his head: "I ate something at home the night before last, and now I just want to eat."

Shen Yuan could tell that there was not a trace of probing in Li Zhi's words.

If Young Master Li doesn't want to eat, he simply doesn't want to eat, so there's absolutely no need for his older cousin to buy more.

Just after the fourth period ended, Shen Yuan received a message from his older cousin.

Yang Yishui: "Come to the office!"

Yang Yishui: "[Image]"

Looking at the large pizza in the picture, Shen Yuan didn't hesitate at all and got up to walk towards his office.

Seeing Shen Yuan alone at the office door, the older cousin sitting at her workstation was puzzled.

"Huh? Why are you the only one here?"

"You didn't say that only the two of us should come!"

Seeing Shen Yuan's matter-of-fact attitude, the older cousin was dumbfounded.

"Should I tell the whole class that I want you and Li Zhi to come to my office for pizza? Wouldn't that expose your relationship?"

After listening to his older cousin's words, Shen Yuan suddenly understood.

"That's right... Oh, right my ass! What relationship do I have with Li Zhi! Yang Yishui, I'm warning you, don't make false accusations!"

The older cousin rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan's words.

Clearly, the older cousin didn't believe Shen Yuan's nonsense at all.

Seeing his older cousin's unchanging gaze, Shen Yuan touched his nose.

"Okay, let's skip that and start eating pizza!"

Shen Yuan quickly opened the box and pulled out a slice of pizza.

Yang Yishui likes cheese, so she usually adds an extra cheese to her pizza because it makes the meal more enjoyable.

A mouthful of cheese, it's so satisfying!

While eating, the older cousin started talking about things that Shen Yuan was concerned about.

"You'll probably only get one day off for the Mid-Autumn Festival, mostly starting at 2 pm on Sunday afternoon, and then you'll have to come back for evening self-study the next night."

Yang Yishui chewed on her pizza and slowly said, "And next week is almost National Day, so I reckon your next long holiday will probably be after the sports meet."

"That's too stingy!" Shen Yuan said with a dissatisfaction.

We finally have a few long holidays in name only, but whether we get to actually take them or not still depends on the whims of the school leaders.

That's ridiculous!
"We have a one-day holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, a three-day holiday for National Day, and a sports meet. If we take a long holiday right after that, the students won't be able to get back into the swing of things. It's better to drag it out a bit longer."

Shen Yuan pursed his lips.

Perhaps due to their different backgrounds, the older sister's perspective on issues is completely different from his.

However, no matter what, how holidays are taken has no necessary connection with my older cousin.

After all, it wasn't her who put it there.
