Chapter 140 Shen Yuan's Two Love Letters

Li Zhi was flustered by Shen Yuan's sudden outburst.

The beautiful girl reached out and placed her hand on Shen Yuan's forehead.

The little hands that had touched the ice cream were icy cold, and when they landed on his head, Shen Yuan couldn't help but shiver.

"What are you doing?" Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi with a puzzled expression, seemingly very confused by her actions.

Li Zhi retorted irritably, "Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you trying to do by suddenly saying something so idiotic?"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, his smile still on his face, and explained, "You mean this? I was just saying that my grades weren't good before, but it's different now."

Li Zhi rolled her eyes, not buying Shen Yuan's explanation. She scoffed, "What's different now? Even if you can get 620 or 630 points, so what? In my eyes, you're still a complete idiot."

"Hey!"

Shen Yuan's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, his face showing indignation.

"I'll surpass you someday!"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi reacted as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile.

“Fine,” Li Zhi said provocatively, “If your total score surpasses mine, I’ll grant you any request.”

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he saw Shen Yuan's eyes light up.

Thinking of Shen Yuan's unusual thought process, Li Zhi quickly added.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let me tell you, you are not allowed to violate public order and good morals, and you are not allowed to violate our country's laws."

Shen Yuan nodded brightly: "You said it yourself, that I'd take you straight to get the marriage certificate. Getting a marriage certificate doesn't violate public order and good morals, nor does it break the law, right?"

Li Zhi froze abruptly, the corners of his mouth that had been raised in provocation suddenly tightened into a straight line, and his porcelain-white skin began to blush from the tips of his ears.

The beautiful girl's pupils contracted slightly, her eyelashes trembled rapidly, and she suddenly released her bitten lower lip as if she had been burned by fire.

"you!"

The breathy sound squeezed out of the beautiful girl's throat was filled with sparks.

But after the initial shyness, a surge of anger welled up inside her.

Li Zhi glared fiercely at Shen Yuan: "You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth! I knew you had no good intentions."

"Didn't you say that yourself? If I pass the test, you'll promise me one thing: that it won't violate public order and good morals or the law. Getting a marriage certificate is one of those things that doesn't violate any of those rules."

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi with an innocent expression.

Looking at Shen Yuan's appearance, Li Zhi's anger grew stronger.

"you!"

Li Zhi looked at the boy in front of him with annoyance and said hurriedly, "How can you treat something like this so lightly!"

Shen Yuan looked directly into Li Zhi's eyes and said earnestly, "Where is this childishness? Young Master Li, I'm very serious."

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and continued to explain, "Think about it, my current score is only a little over 620, while yours is over 680. How much effort would I have to put in to surpass your score during my senior year of high school!"

Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, he saw that Li Zhi seemed about to retort, so he quickly raised his hand to signal her not to speak and said in a fast-paced voice, "Let me finish."

Seeing this, Li Zhi had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Looking at the beautiful girl's pursed lips, Shen Yuan paused slightly before continuing:

"If I can really do that, wouldn't that prove I'm serious? And if I can really improve my score from over 620 to surpass yours, then I think we should be able to get into the same university in the college entrance exam."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's last words, Li Zhi turned her head sharply like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her earlobes peeking out from the stray hairs on the back of her neck instantly turning bright red.

The beautiful girl let out a short, cold snort.

"Huh? You think 680 points is as easy as cabbage? That you can just pass the exam whenever you want?"

"Wouldn't my passing the exam prove my diligence even more?"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi intently.

At this moment, Li Zhi felt a surge of panic.

In just one or two days, the aggression of the idiot Shen Yuan has become so strong!
Is this still the Shen Yuan I know?

Li Zhi couldn't help but feel somewhat lost and confused.

Shen Yuan clearly sensed the girl's panic and thought to himself that it would be best to end the topic first.

Li Shao is clearly not mentally prepared yet; she definitely won't be able to handle his sudden directness.

So, Shen Yuan smiled slightly and tried to make his tone sound more relaxed: "Look at you, why are you so nervous? It's still early, and it's still unknown whether I can pass you."

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi's panic subsided slightly.

She stood at her doorstep, her gaze fixed on the boy before her, and slowly began to speak:
"Since you've said that, can I also interpret it this way: if your score isn't above 680, it means you haven't been studying seriously at all?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan tilted his head and gave a helpless look: "No way, how could my score suddenly jump to 680 points!"

However, Li Zhi remained unmoved. She slightly raised her chin, a pleased smile appearing on her lips, and continued:
"I don't care about that, you said it yourself. Anyway, from now on, no matter what exam you take, if you don't get 680 points, it means you didn't study hard!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan gave a helpless smile.

"No, sis, if you calculate it that way, then I'll be just coasting through school from now on. And then I'll coast until I reach 680?"

Li Zhi nodded: "Yes, is that not allowed?"

Shen Yuan smiled helplessly: "Your thought process is quite cute."

“Of course!” Li Zhi raised his chin slightly.

Just then, Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan point at her hand.

"The cute ice cream is almost melting."

"Damn it! You idiot Shen Yuan, why didn't you say so sooner? No, no, I'm going to freeze it."

Li Zhifei quickly turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

As for Shen Yuan, he happily opened the lid of the ice cream and started eating.

It's okay if the surface melts a little; just quickly absorb the melted sugar water, and the inside will still be cool and refreshing.

It's still edible.

Li Zhi left the door open when he put out the ice cream, and Shen Yuan wandered in.

After the pretty girl put her things away, she suddenly realized there was another person in the house.

"Hey, wait, what are you doing here?" The pretty girl's tone was a mix of surprise and displeasure.

Shen Yuan blinked, putting on an innocent expression, and said, "Are you trying to kick me out?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi took a deep breath and cursed, "Why the hell are you being so effeminate?"

Shen Yuan put his hands on his hips and said confidently, "Is this all the tea? I haven't even shown my true skills yet!"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi was momentarily at a loss for words. She shook her head helplessly, thinking, "Whatever, whatever. I'll just go play games."

Li Zhijia's computers are all kept in the study, and there are three computers in one study.

Shen Yuan followed Li Zhi into the study.

When he entered the study, he saw that Lao Li was also inside.

Shen Yuan's heart immediately wavered, and he hesitated whether to go in.

Hearing the noise, Lao Li turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and then at Shen Yuan standing at the door.

"Oh, Shen Yuan, please have a seat."

Old Li gave a curt greeting and then started playing chess on his own, showing no intention of chatting with Shen Yuan any further.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the study, then approached Li Zhi.

Li Zhi plays Oxygen Not Included, and Shen Yuan also plays this game; he bought it when he played it with Li Zhi.

But Shen Yuan still couldn't figure it out.

Li Zhi's assessment of Shen Yuan was that he was a complete idiot who couldn't even understand the water cycle.

Shen Yuan watched as Li Zhi quickly issued instructions, but he couldn't understand them, so he went back to playing King of Glory.

Upon hearing that familiar "timi," Li Zhi turned to look at Shen Yuan.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to log into the game, he saw the beautiful girl's death stare and immediately asked with an awkward smile, "Want to play together?"

"No way, you didn't even call me!" Li Zhi turned to look at the computer.

"Let's play together, let's play together. I'll play support for you. I'm really good at support."

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi snorted coldly, picked up his phone and threatened, "If you make me die even once, I'll beat you up."

"I'm confident. I, Taiyi, am very confident."

Nearby, Old Li, who was playing chess, listened to the conversation between the two and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Then his hand shook.

"Damn it! I added an extra D!"

In the following time, Lao Li either played D too fast, played F too much, or forgot to play the game.

In conclusion, Lao Li made many mistakes.

But Lao Li couldn't say anything.

Because every time he made a mistake, it was Li Zhi who was criticizing Shen Yuan.

During the game, Lao Li glanced at Shen Yuan out of boredom.

Shen Yuan was seen with his head down, working intently and completely focused, clearly under a lot of pressure.

For a moment, Lao Li felt a little sorry for the child.

"Will Shen Yuan stay for dinner tonight?"

Shen Yuan shook his head repeatedly: "I haven't eaten at home yet today, so I won't stay."

Old Li nodded: "It's almost time. Go back early and help your mom with the cooking. I remember you can cook too, right?"

"They only have one dish: braised pork. The others are just average."

"That's fine then."

Old Li casually remarked, "Li Zhi really likes your mom's braised pork."

"Dad! What are you saying!" Li Zhi looked at Old Li with dissatisfaction.

Old Li was taken aback by Li Zhi's reaction and quickly said, "He didn't say anything?"

"It's best if it isn't!"

Seeing Li Zhi's reaction, Lao Li subconsciously looked at Shen Yuan, trying to get some information from him.

But when Lao Li's gaze fell on Shen Yuan, he saw that Shen Yuan had his head down and looked completely suppressed.

Forget it, we can't count on this stupid kid.

Old Li shook his head and continued playing his game of chess.

As for Shen Yuan, after hearing Lao Li's words, he played a few games and then left.

If we stay any longer, we'll most likely get beaten to death by Li Zhi.

Li Zhi escorted Shen Yuan to his doorstep, his face still bearing the disdain that came with his game defeat.

The pretty girl braced herself against the doorframe, a slight smirk playing on her lips: "You noob, you wasted my trust in you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes widened, and he pointed at himself with an incredulous expression, as if he had heard the most absurd thing in the world.

He retorted loudly, "Me, bad? How dare you say I'm bad?"

Seeing Shen Yuan's reaction, Li Zhi continued, "So you mean you think I'm bad at this?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's incredulous expression vanished instantly with two laughs, and he quickly continued, echoing Li Zhi's words:

"I'm bad, I'm bad. Let's play a duo game together next time, I'll play the girl and you play the guy."

Hearing this suggestion, Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "I think it's a good idea, but let's wait until after this monthly exam to talk about it."

"Ah."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, the two fell into a moment of silence.

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan also looked at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi broke the silence first, asking softly, "What, is there anything else you want to say?"

Shen Yuan nodded, then said to Li Zhi, "Aren't you curious about what I did today?" Li Zhi shook his head and replied casually, "Not curious. Either you went out to play with Zhou Shaojie and the others, or you went out to find Hei Si. But I feel that you probably went to find Hei Si with Zhou Shaojie and the others."

Shen Yuan felt that his reputation had been ruined by A-Jie.

It's all Zhou Shaojie's fault!

Shen Yuan didn't let the answer to this question drag on for too long, and quickly told Li Zhi the answer.

"I'm going to Zhejiang University."

Li Zhi's fingers, which were resting on the door frame, suddenly curled up.

"Zhejiang University? What are you going to do at Zhejiang University?"

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Didn't you say last time that you might go to Zhejiang University?"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi and smiled: "With my grades, it's probably difficult for me to get into Tsinghua or Peking University, but if I were to try for Zhejiang University, the chances would be higher, right?"

"You...really went?" Li Zhi still couldn't quite believe Shen Yuan's words.

After all, Shen Yuan arrived at around 2 o'clock, which means that Shen Yuan had gone to the station at least early in the morning!
And this happened during the National Day holiday, a time when tickets are practically nonexistent.

“Of course, I have my tickets.” Shen Yuan said, reaching into his pocket to take out his tickets.

"Do you still need a ticket to take the high-speed rail now? Are you...?"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi saw the train ticket that Shen Yuan had taken out.

Li Zhi originally thought that Shen Yuan had bought a high-speed rail ticket.

Now that you can just swipe your ID card to take the high-speed rail, it would seem deliberate for Shen Yuan to pick up a ticket.

She never expected that Shen Yuan would produce a bus ticket.

"you……"

Li Zhi lowered her eyes and stared at the two train tickets, slightly wrinkled from the boy's body heat, her eyelashes trembling slightly in the light and shadow.

The tightly pressed lips softened slightly.

Li Zhi reached out and took the ticket, immediately noticing the time on it.

I went there around 7 a.m. and came back around 12 p.m.

Shen Yuan's time in Hangzhou will not exceed 4 hours.

They came and went, barely settled down before running back to find me.

Li Zhi felt like he had a lot to say, but when the words reached his lips, only two very simple words came out.

"Tired?"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "Please, I don't get tired even after studying all day, this is nothing."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, a smile appeared in Li Zhi's eyes.

"Really?"

"Of course, I can still make a trip now! I'm full of energy." Shen Yuan patted his chest.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan saw the beautiful girl in front of him burst out laughing.

Li Zhixiao is very beautiful. Two shallow dimples appear on her porcelain-white cheeks, like ripples on spring water touched by the evening breeze.

Looking at the girl's smiling face, Shen Yuan also smiled.

What's the scenery like at Zhejiang University?

Shen Yuan nodded: "It's quite beautiful. The library is very large, the scenery of Qizhen Lake is nice, the dormitories look great, and the teaching buildings are the same. Oh, by the way, the cafeteria also has beef rice bowls."

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Please, this is university, and all you notice is that there's beef rice bowl in the cafeteria?"

"Shouldn't you? Don't you like to eat it?"

Li Zhi snorted: "No way! I've been eating this for three years in high school, and I'm going to keep eating it in college? I'm going to turn into a beef rice bowl person."

Listening to Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan couldn't help but think of that guy eating beef rice bowl alone in the cafeteria.

If Li Zhi was really chatting with him at that time, what would he have replied?

"Why are you eating beef rice bowl again?"

"Why don't you choose another one?"

"Are you really never tired of eating this?"

"Did you die in your past life because you never got to eat a beef rice bowl?"

--"oh."

Or perhaps, there was no reply at all.

Shen Yuan felt he couldn't possibly be that much of a jerk.

"Then maybe the beef rice bowl at the university is even tastier."

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, he saw swallowing marks on Li Zhi's neck.

Goodness, you really want to eat it...

Just as Shen Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly heard a soft, sweet hum in his ear.

"Then why didn't you take me with you? You secretly went to Zhejiang University to play by yourself."

"No tickets!"

Shen Yuan quickly explained, "That's really not true. High-speed rail tickets are so hard to get. I had to get up really early to snag this ticket at the passenger transport center. You wouldn't believe it, I almost got stuck in Hangzhou and couldn't get back!"

However, Li Zhi wouldn't listen to his explanation at all, and said angrily, "I don't care, you just went out to play by yourself and didn't take me with you!"

Li Zhi wrinkled her nose slightly, revealing a reproachful expression, and muttered, "Hmph! Eating alone! Shameless!"

Seeing this, Shen Yuan quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Alright, alright, don't be angry. How about this, I'll definitely take you with me next time, okay?"

To everyone's surprise, Li Zhi turned her head away and replied haughtily, "No way! Who wants to go with you!"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi and suddenly had a brilliant idea, saying, "Then take me next time."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi immediately glared at him and said irritably, "Pah! Dream on! I'm not taking you with me, I want to go and have fun by myself!"

As he spoke, Li Zhi grabbed Shen Yuan's train tickets, putting on a cold expression, "I'm confiscating these two tickets as evidence that you sneaked off to play!"

After saying that, Li Zhi stuffed the ticket into her pocket without hesitation. Judging from her posture, she really didn't intend to return the ticket to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan did not intend to say anything about this.

Let them take it; it'll just end up in the trash anyway.

"Any thing else?"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "That's all, I'll head back now."

"Go on, lone wolf."

Clearly, this is not a good word.

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at Li Zhi, then turned and walked home.

As Shen Yuan stepped into the house and prepared to close the door, he suddenly noticed Li Zhi still leaning against the doorway behind him.

"Aren't you going back?" Shen Yuan asked.

Li Zhi replied unhurriedly, "Let me see if my silly child can get home by himself."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan replied irritably, "Yes, I'll get home safely!"

"Bye then." Li Zhi seemed satisfied with Shen Yuan's answer, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

After saying that, Li Zhi closed the door without hesitation, leaving Shen Yuan standing alone at the door, looking at the closed door, and couldn't help but feel amused.

"That arrogant brat." Shen Yuan muttered softly, shook his head, and turned to walk into the house.

Li Zhi hadn't actually left; instead, he remained quietly perched on the door, silently watching Shen Yuan through the peephole.

Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan move his lips, as if he had said something.

"Hmph! That idiot Shen Yuan is definitely talking badly about me."

"Alright, alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with that idiot." Li Zhi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.

With a sudden thought, Li Zhi's hand instinctively reached into her pocket, and after rummaging around for a while, she gently picked out two train tickets.

These two train tickets originally belonged to Shen Yuan, but now they belong to her.

Li Zhi examined the train ticket in his hand, his fingers unconsciously stroking it, as if he could feel Shen Yuan's presence through the thin piece of paper.

For some reason, her mood suddenly became cheerful at that moment.

"What are you looking at?"

Just as Li Zhi was immersed in his own world, Old Li's voice suddenly rang in his ears.

Li Zhifei quickly put away the train ticket in his hand.

"nothing."

Li Zhi stared straight at his father.

"It's best not to say anything at this time."

In an instant, the father and daughter both thought of the same way to deal with this situation.

Seeing the panic on his daughter's face, Lao Li silently turned away.

"I'll go cook now. How much do you want to eat today?"

"Half a bowl, I'll have ice cream later."

Old Li nodded.

After seeing Lao Li leave, Li Zhi quickly fled back to his bedroom.

Hearing his daughter hurriedly close the door, Lao Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Well done, Shen Yuan, you've got some skills. You're even sending love letters now."

"What?" Xu Chan looked at Lao Li in confusion.

"Our girl probably received a love letter, from Shen Yuan."

In an instant, Xu Chan's eyes blazed with gossip.

Old Li shook his head: "Don't make a fuss, don't ask questions, they know what they're doing."

In the bedroom, Li Zhi had no idea that her father had interpreted her behavior as if she had received a love letter and been discovered by her parents.

If Li Zhi knew, he would probably have just told Lao Li directly.

Li Zhi sat in the chair, examining the train ticket in his hand.

"Hmph! That idiot Shen Yuan actually dared to go to Zhejiang University alone!"

Although he said that, a smile was clearly visible on Li Zhi's face.

Li Zhi felt a burning sensation on his face when he thought of what Shen Yuan had said earlier.

"How dare a fool say such a thing! It's outrageous! He's been watching too much 'Inside Job' movies!"

After cursing Shen Yuan twice, Li Zhi was at a loss for what to do when he held Shen Yuan's two train tickets.

Where should I put it?

After thinking it over, Li Zhi decided to stop thinking.

"Never mind, let's just put them all together."

After saying that, Li Zhi opened the bottom drawer of the desk.

The question mark lamp that Shen Yuan bought is still here.

Upon seeing the question mark light, Li Zhi couldn't help but recall his previous foolish actions.

"Shen Yuan, you idiot!"

After saying that, Li Zhi put the two tickets into the drawer.

Looking at the train tickets in the drawer, Li Zhi smiled sweetly.
