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

Chapter 132 Obey! Shake hands!
My older cousin drives incredibly fast, like lightning.

Around 1 p.m., Shen Yuan and Li Zhi arrived at the apartment building.

After the car stopped, my older cousin said, "Okay, go ahead. Remember to study hard tonight."

Yang Yishui's gaze fell on Shen Yuan, and she continued, "Next week is National Day, and after National Day, there will be the monthly exam. What are your goals for this monthly exam?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan turned his head. His gaze first fell on his older cousin, and then quickly swept over Li Zhi, who was sitting in the back row.

"635 points, above."

Upon hearing this number, the older cousin was slightly surprised. She clicked her tongue and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, you improved so quickly? Are you that confident?"

Shen Yuan's lips curled into a confident smile as he replied, "Of course! What else could it be? My math grades are currently on the rise!"

Seeing this, the older cousin chuckled and said, "I hope so."

"Drive carefully on the road," Shen Yuan instructed.

"Okay," my older cousin replied, then started the car and slowly drove away from the neighborhood.

After his older cousin left, Shen Yuan's gaze fell on Li Zhi again.

He looked at Li Zhi and asked softly, "Shall we come over to my house to do our homework later?"

Li Zhi raised her eyes, looked at Shen Yuan, and with a slight upturn of her lips, she scoffed softly, "Dream on."

After saying that, the beautiful girl walked towards her home, leaving Shen Yuan with only a dashing back view.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan pursed his lips helplessly, but still followed after him.

Why are you walking so fast? Do you think I'm going to bite you?

Li Zhi paused, turned to look at Shen Yuan, wrinkled his nose slightly, and said fiercely, "Maybe."

Shen Yuan stared at Li Zhi for a while, then suddenly arched his back, curled one hand into a claw shape and pressed it close to his chest, letting out a long cry.

"Wang!"

This sudden action startled Li Zhi. Her eyes widened, and she involuntarily took a half-step back.

Clearly, the beautiful girl had no idea that Shen Yuan would do such a thing.

"Are you an idiot?!" Li Zhi snapped back to reality and immediately shouted angrily.

However, before she could finish speaking, she saw Shen Yuan continue barking, "Woof! Woof!"

Not only that, he ran towards me while shouting.

Li Zhi's pupils suddenly contracted, like a startled fawn. She abruptly turned around, her snow-white sneakers making short, sharp scraping sounds on the cement ground.

"Stay away from me, you idiot!!"

The girl screamed as she ran quickly toward the apartment building, her ponytail swinging violently over her shoulder.

Shen Yuan, however, did not care about Li Zhi's reaction. He followed closely behind Li Zhi, refusing to give up.

However, he kept his speed at a distance not far behind the beautiful girl and did not actually catch up.

And so, the two of them playfully bickered their way to the elevator.

Li Zhifei pressed the elevator button quickly, seemingly not wanting to have any interaction with Shen Yuan for even a moment.

However, both elevators were currently upstairs and couldn't come down anytime soon.

Li Zhi watched helplessly as Shen Yuan's figure slowly appeared in the elevator lobby.

"Hey! No barking!" Li Zhi shouted without hesitation almost the instant he saw Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan didn't take it to heart. Instead, he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth: "Please, I'm not a pervert."

"cut."

Li Zhi scoffed at his explanation, rolled her eyes, and retorted mercilessly, "I wonder who was barking like a dog at the entrance of the community just now. I think the security guard was about to bring over his dog-snatching tools!"

Faced with Li Zhi's accusation, Shen Yuan blinked and pretended to be blank, as if he had no recollection of what had just happened.

After all, Li Shao had been going up against Shen Yuan for many years, and she had recovered from her previous panic.

Seeing Shen Yuan trying to play dumb, Li Zhi's lips suddenly curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

"Suckling sound." She made that familiar sound softly, as if she were summoning something.

Shen Yuan's body trembled violently, as if he had been electrocuted. He turned his head sharply and looked straight at Li Zhi, his face full of disbelief.

Shen Yuanfei quickly pointed at someone with a husky-like gesture: "Hey! Here we go again, huh?"

However, Li Zhi's smile remained unchanged, and he continued to make that "sucking" sound that was both infuriating and amusing.

"Hey!"

Shen Yuanda walked up to Li Zhi, bent down slightly, revealed a threatening look, and said fiercely, "Believe it or not, I'll really bite you!"

However, just as Shen Yuan finished speaking, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, a clear, sharp rebuke rang out from the beautiful girl's mouth:

"Squat down!"

The sound was like a thunderclap, exploding in Shen Yuan's ears.

Not only that, Li Zhi also added a "squat down" gesture.

Shen Yuan was stunned by this sudden scene. He stared wide-eyed at Li Zhi in disbelief.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said to Li Zhi with a wry smile, "Sisters, do you really think you're a dog trainer?"

Li Zhi's lips curled up into a smug smile; she seemed quite satisfied with Shen Yuan's reaction.

But soon, she shouted again, "Squat down!"

This time, her voice was louder than before, carrying an unquestionable authority.

Upon hearing the rebuke, Shen Yuan felt his legs go weak and his body involuntarily squatted down. However, Shen Yuan quickly straightened up and looked at Li Zhi with a panicked expression, stammering, "You, what kind of magic did you cast on me?"

Li Zhi tilted her head to the same angle as Shen Yuan, and her long ponytail fell down with gravity.

The beautiful girl's smile grew even brighter as she whispered, "Witchcraft, the kind that can turn someone into a puppy."

After saying that, Li Zhi smiled and suddenly reached out and placed her hand on Shen Yuan's head. Then, she held her palm up in front of him and said sweetly, "Shake hands!"

Shen Yuan's eyes widened in astonishment.

"you!"

This won't do.

This is practically pushing their own limits!

"No! Absolutely not!" Shen Yuan raised his chin, shook off Li Zhi's hand from his head, and then put his hands behind his back.

"I would never say that. How could I, a dignified seven-foot man,..."

Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, Li Zhi had already tiptoed closer.

The scent of citrus wafted past Shen Yuan's nose as she leaned forward, and before Shen Yuan could react, the beautiful girl had already swiftly grabbed his wrist.

The warmth from Li Zhi's fingertips traveled through the veins in Shen Yuan's wrist, causing him to stiffen.

Before Shen Yuan could even process what was happening, he saw Li Zhi take his hand and flatten it in his palm.

Shen Yuan's hands were quite large, and they quickly covered Li Zhi's hands.

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan and said seriously, "Pay close attention, and when I ask you to shake hands later, put your hand on my hand!"

As Li Zhi spoke, he removed Shen Yuan's hand.

Then, the beautiful girl placed her palm in front of Shen Yuan again and said earnestly:

"shake hands."

A faint blush crept onto Shen Yuan's ears as he stiffened his neck and said, "You..."

"Listen to me! Shake hands!"

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan intently, his face full of patience.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath, and then, as if he had nothing to lose, he slapped his hand onto Li Zhi's palm, but just before they touched, he suddenly lightened his grip and began to gently press his hand against Li Zhi's.

The moment Shen Yuan's fingertips touched Li Zhi's palm, the girl's skin was as delicate as melting snow in early spring, and the lines on her palm slightly embedded in the thin calluses on his fingertips when they touched.

An unusual temperature emanated from the point where they overlapped, and the pulse throbbing on the girl's wrist resonated with the boy's heartbeat.

"Okay?"

Shen Yuan turned his head to look at the green plants in the distance, his heart pounding.

"qualified!"

Li Zhi suddenly let go of his hand, quickly took half a step back, put his hand behind his back, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the boy who was frozen in place with great interest.

Her eyes sparkled with tiny lights, like stars in the night sky, and in their movement, she seemed like a mischievous child who had successfully pulled off a prank, revealing a hint of barely perceptible smugness.

"Hmm, it seems you are quite talented."

Li Zhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly, "If you study hard from now on, you might really be able to become a qualified companion dog."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan was taken aback at first, then gave a playful smile and jokingly replied, "Oh? They say companion dogs have to sleep with their owners, right?"

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Zhi's face turn bright red, like a ripe apple.

The beautiful girl frowned deeply, her beautiful eyes widened, and she angrily shouted, "Pervert!"

Daily Quest: The Beautiful Girl's Scolding (Completed)!
Shen Yuan was momentarily dazed.

No, he didn't do the task.
I've been so focused on Kegel exercises lately that I haven't been doing my daily Kegel practice.

Regardless, let's go through the procedures first.

Shen Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.

That felt great. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and several people stepped out.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi immediately quieted down.

The reason why people in Class 15 acted strangely is because everyone in Class 15 acts strangely, but if someone sees you in the neighborhood, it's better to be more composed.

Once inside the elevator, the two who had been lively immediately became quiet.

As for the reason, it's probably because there are surveillance cameras in the elevator.

The elevator slowly ascended and finally came to a steady stop on the 19A floor.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, the two childhood sweethearts stepped out of the elevator one after the other.

Li Zhi walked briskly to his front door, skillfully inserted the key into the lock, and prepared to open the door.

Standing to the side, Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi's hurried appearance, a slight smile playing on his lips, and deliberately asked tentatively, "Really not coming?"

"I'm not coming!" Li Zhi's answer was crisp and decisive. He didn't even look back at Shen Yuan, and continued to focus on opening the door.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan did not stop there. He continued to tease, "Alright, alright, then I'll go back and tell the kittens that their mother doesn't want them anymore, and only their father and they depend on each other for survival."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's body stiffened abruptly.

The beautiful girl stopped what she was doing as if frozen in place. Then, like an angry kitten, she quickly turned her head, a dangerous glint flashing in her eyes.

"You dare!" Li Zhi's voice carried a clear threat.

Shen Yuan disregarded the threat in the words.

He chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Why wouldn't I dare? I'm absolutely brave! I'll go tell them right now!"

As he spoke, Shen Yuan made a gesture as if to turn around and open his own door.

However, just as Shen Yuan took out the key, he suddenly heard Li Zhi's voice coming from behind him.

The voice, though not loud, was full of authority: "Go ahead and tell them that I was originally planning to come and see them during the National Day holiday, but now it seems I can only come today."

Shen Yuan turned around, looking puzzled, and asked, "What do you mean? You're not coming back for National Day just because you came today?"

Li Zhidi shrugged, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Two choices. Ugh, this is such a difficult decision. When should I come to see them?"

The beautiful girl's gaze was fixed on Shen Yuan, her eyes sparkling with a playful light, as if she was waiting for his answer.

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then said without hesitation, "National Day."

His tone was firm.

After all, the National Day holiday lasts for three days!

"You said it yourself, I'm not coming today."

Li Zhi's smile widened, and she seemed quite satisfied with the answer.

Shen Yuan nodded in agreement.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, then gently closed the door.

However, just as the door closed, she did not leave. Instead, she stood quietly behind the door, secretly observing Shen Yuan through the peephole.

Shen Yuan stood there, looking completely bewildered, seemingly still unaware of what had just happened.

Looking at his silly expression, Li Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud, a mischievous smile appearing on her face.

"You idiot Shen Yuan!" Li Zhi muttered under his breath, "Does he really mean I shouldn't come just because I said I wouldn't?"

Although she said that, she wasn't really angry; on the contrary, she found the interaction quite amusing.

"Humph!"

Li Zhi snorted softly, turned and walked towards the room, muttering to himself.

"If you don't want to come, then you don't have to."

Looking at the tightly closed door across the way, Shen Yuan clicked his tongue twice.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to close the door, he suddenly realized something.

Did she just say she was coming?

Realizing this, Shen Yuan slapped his head and couldn't help but curse, "You brainless idiot."

After Shen Yuan returned to his room, the two kittens immediately woke up from their sleep, meowing and surrounding him for food.

I didn't eat lunch, I'm hungry.

After skillfully feeding the furry friends, Shen Yuan went into the study and took out the Huanggang Secret Scrolls given to him by Li Zhi.

The glow of his phone screen reflected on his focused profile as he lightly tapped his finger to set an alarm for the two-and-a-half-hour exam.

"Do the test papers, do the test papers, it's time to prepare for the monthly exam."

Soon, only the scratching sound of pen nibs rubbing against paper filled the study.

Shen Yuan always started with the simplest problems when solving science problems.

The reason I did this was because I was afraid I would exhaust my brain on the physics problems later.

Midway through, Sangeng jumped onto the desk to try and touch it, but was shooed off by a light tap on the forehead with his knuckles.

When I lowered my head, it was two and a half hours later when I looked up again.

When the phone vibrated and buzzed, the exam paper was already covered with neat handwriting.

Shen Yuan picked up the test paper in front of him. The afternoon sun shone through the window and fell on the test paper, casting a peculiar pattern on Shen Yuan's face.

"Knowledge, you need to get into your brain!"

After saying this, Shen Yuan put the test paper on the table and began to check the answers.

"What?! How could you get this wrong?"

"Hiss—this, I can't let Young Master Li know. If she finds out, I'm probably going to die."

Shen Yuan looked at the answer and corrected his solution process.

Fortunately, each answer had a detailed solution process, so Shen Yuan wasn't completely unable to understand the reference answer.

After checking the answers, Shen Yuan also calculated his score.

"Physics 89, Chemistry 87, Biology 81. Damn, still only 257!"

Shen Yuan leaned back in his chair: "Damn, this exam is really hard!"

After completing the entire test paper, Shen Yuan had a very clear feeling.

This test paper was more difficult than the first monthly exam.

"If this is as difficult as the college entrance exam, then I'm doomed!"

Shen Yuan let out a breath.

He knew very well that the difficulty of the science section of the college entrance examination was uncertain.

It could be high, or it could be low.

But he couldn't possibly pray that the college entrance exam would be easier.

In the battle of the college entrance examination, we cannot place our hopes on our opponents.

After copying down the incorrect questions, Shen Yuan took out another test paper.

Of course, I'm not making it now; I'm taking this to the classroom.

By the time Shen Yuan finished doing all this, it was already past 4 o'clock.

Shen Yuan took out his phone and called Li Zhi.

"What's wrong?"

"Let's go eat. We'll go back to school after we eat."

Li Zhi's parents are going to Li Zhi's maternal grandfather's house tonight, while Shen Yuan's parents are still in their hometown.

The two had no choice but to go out to find food.

"Okay," Li Zhi said before hanging up the phone.

The incandescent lights in the stairwell seemed particularly desolate as evening approached. Shen Yuan leaned against the mottled wall, his knuckles unconsciously tapping the edge of his phone.

A short while later, the door to Li Zhi’s house opened.

Upon seeing Shen Yuan, Li Zhi glanced at him and immediately looked away.

Seeing Li Zhi squat down to tie his shoelaces, Shen Yuan suddenly had a mischievous idea.

"Li Zhi." He called her deliberately in a breathy voice, the last syllable swirling and landing on the top of her head.

"What?" The girl asked without looking up.

As Li Zhi responded, Shen Yuan extended his hand to her: "Shake hands."

The knuckles curl up and then straighten out, much like a furry invitation.

The next second, the air suddenly froze. Li Zhi's action of tying her shoelaces abruptly stopped, and on her slowly raised face, her almond-shaped eyes were now brewing a blizzard.

His laughter caught in his throat, and his outstretched hand grew cold from that gaze, but he couldn't retract it in time.

The next second, a crisp sound rang out in Shen Yuan's hand.

"Snapped!"

"hiss--"

Shen Yuan's gasp echoed in the hallway.

The boy clutched his hand, his mouth agape as he let out a silent cry of pain.
