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

Chapter 144 It's all thanks to Li Bao's teaching.

"Serlan!"

At the doorstep, a beautiful girl, already dressed in her school uniform and with her long hair tied in a ponytail, immediately scolded Shen Yuan upon seeing him.

Faced with Li Zhi's reprimand, Shen Yuan showed an innocent expression.

"He seems to me the innocent one, doesn't he?"

"Where are you innocent?" Li Zhimei glared at her.

Shen Yuan counted on his fingers and said, "Look, you're the one who asked me to wake you up, right? You answered the video call yourself, right? You got out of bed yourself, right? So I didn't do anything!"

Shen Yuan, the little bear, shrugged: "I'm completely innocent, okay?"

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi's face turned even uglier. She snorted coldly and said, "Your eyes aren't innocent!"

Shen Yuan said confidently, "You know, the brain is unaware of the existence of eyes, so what my eyes see and perceive is entirely their own idea. It has nothing to do with me!"

Shen Yuan stated confidently, "Therefore, I am still innocent."

Seeing Shen Yuan speak so confidently, Li Zhi was so angry that he almost couldn't speak.

"You!" Li Zhi finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Li Zhi was furious and kicked him directly.

The beautiful girl, enraged, attacked: "Die!"

If she doesn't get vaccinated, she feels like she's going to develop nodules from the stress today.

As Shen Yuan watched the beautiful girl's feet, encased in white socks, kick towards him, a sentence echoed in his mind.

—Should I avoid her sharp edge?

Shen Yuan didn't dodge at all, and calmly took Li Zhi's kick.

Not too light, not too heavy, just the right amount of force.

Shen Yuan leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly narrowed, his Adam's apple bobbing as he let out a muffled laugh. He even raised his hand to support his chin with a sense of contentment, clearly treating the kick he had just received as some kind of ambiguous caress.

"Shen Yuan!"

The girl's shout suddenly changed tone, her toes, still dangling in mid-air, her whole body exploding like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

With her eyes wide open, Li Zhimei suddenly took half a step back, grabbed the round-toed leather shoes from the entrance, and put them on.

"A perverted masochist, huh?"

As the heel slammed heavily onto Shen Yuan's sneakers, the beautiful girl's trembling voice whistled through her teeth as she forced out a rebuke.

"Then I'll grant your wish!"

The soles of his feet, encased in white socks, continued to exert pressure through the leather shoes, leaving clear patterns on the soles of his shoes.

Not satisfied with stepping on the other person with one foot, Li Zhi grabbed Shen Yuan's collar with the other hand and pulled him down, forcing the boy to bend over and look him in the eye.

Amid Shen Yuan's gasp, Li Zhi said viciously, "If you dare to make that disgusting face again, you'll have to wear spiked shoes next time!"

After saying that, Li Zhi quickly released Shen Yuan.

"Hmph! You're getting the benefit and then acting innocent!"

The beautiful girl clenched her teeth, and the way she casually tucked her stray hairs behind her ears revealed her reddened earlobes, making her look just like a cat that was cornered but still wanted to stand up and protest.

Shen Yuan dared not say anything about those words, after all, he had really benefited from them.

The beautiful girl's morning indulgence, delivered in a daze, completely captivated Shen Yuan, leaving him unable to bear the memory.

After Li Zhi put on his shoes, the two went downstairs.

However, perhaps because of what happened in the morning, Li Zhi kept walking an arm's length away from Shen Yuan.

Whenever Shen Yuan tried to get close, she would dodge sideways like a cat with its fur standing on end.

However, in Shen Yuan's eyes, the situation was not yet out of control.

After all, Li Zhi's schoolbag is still hanging on his body.

The morning breeze carried the scent of the girl past Shen Yuan's nose, a mixture of peach fragrance and lingering shyness, which deepened the smile in the boy's eyes.

"I'll treat you to breakfast."

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi snorted coldly: "Don't think that such small favors will make me forgive you!"

"And what about ice cream?"

Li Zhi's ears suddenly twitched as the boy's slightly rising tone made the word "ice cream" roll on her tongue.

"Who cares..."

As the girl turned her face away, strands of hair fell down, just enough to obscure the sudden brightness in her eyes, but Shen Yuan clearly saw the subtle swallowing in her throat.

"Two portions." Shen Yuan pressed his advantage.

Li Zhi turned her head and looked at Shen Yuan with a serious expression: "I don't want to eat your ice cream! Don't try to tempt me with your appetite!"

Shen Yuan chuckled, ran his hand through his stray hairs, and said in his deep, bubbly voice, "So, my darling, what do you think of me?"

"yue~"

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan: "You might as well eat ice cream."

"Then I'll take you to get ice cream this afternoon. KFC has a buy-one-get-one-free deal on ice cream."

Shen Yuan waved his phone, showing off the buy-one-get-one-free coupon for ice cream.

Li Zhi pursed her lips: "Let me make this clear first, I went to eat with you because of the buy-one-get-one-free promotion."

Shen Yuan nodded: "I know, I know."

Shen Yuan went to the steamed bun shop for breakfast as usual, but he still returned empty-handed.

The boss's skills haven't diminished at all; he's truly amazing.

Li Zhi still didn't understand Shen Yuan's childish behavior, but she had no reason to refuse the half of the pickled vegetable bun that Shen Yuan had given her.

……

Because they made a fuss when they left home in the morning, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi were already a little late when they arrived at school.

The two arrived at the classroom just as He Zhiyu arrived.

"Zhizhi, good morning!"

Good morning, Zhizhi.

Li Zhi reached out and pinched He Zhiyu's cheek, and the two of them smiled very happily.

Shen Yuan leaned closer: "What about me? Do I have one?"

"Good morning, Shen Yuan." He Zhiyu greeted Shen Yuan in return.

"morning."

After greeting everyone, Shen Yuan returned to his seat.

Shen Yuan is on duty today, but it's a bit too early now; the sweepers haven't arrived yet.

After tidying up his desk, Shen Yuan's gaze naturally fell on Li Zhi, who was standing by the aisle.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat greasy smile, and softly called out, "Li Bao..."

This title made Li Zhi frown. She looked up at Shen Yuan, a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Shen Yuan pretended not to notice Li Zhi's reaction and continued to ask, "Did you read 'The Inmate's Embezzlement' yesterday?"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's question, Li Zhi rubbed her temples, as if the question was giving her a headache.

The pretty girl gently shook her head and replied, "I didn't watch it. I went to sleep right after the video ended yesterday. What's wrong? Was it too sweet for you?"

Shen Yuan retorted, "How could that be? With such a low level of sweetness, how could it possibly be sweet enough to make me feel sweet?"

As he spoke, he shook his head, dismissing the sweetness of the work: "The guy who wrote 'The Stealer' probably has never been in a relationship and can only rely on his imagination. And he doesn't even dare to be a little bold in his imagination."

Shen Yuan shook his head.

In his view, the young author's content is largely about the young fans of the "Love in the Bite Association" protecting the original form of love.

Meanwhile, in front of Li Zhi, He Zhiyu, who had overheard Shen Yuan's words, was probably about to give birth.

Is it my fault for not being in a relationship?
I have suitors too!

However, before He Zhiyu could protest, she heard Li Zhi's voice from behind her.

"So, you're quite bold, aren't you?" Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with a half-smile.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's body suddenly straightened up, his posture that had been slumped over the table instantly becoming upright.

The boy slightly raised his chin, a confident smile playing on his lips, and replied without backing down, "Of course!"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuan rushed to Li Zhi's side.

The action was swift and decisive, as if giving Li Zhi no time to react.

Before the pretty girl could even dodge, Shen Yuan blurted out, "Isn't this what Li Bao taught you?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, He Zhiyu, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly turned around. The young author stared wide-eyed at the two people in front of him, his expression full of disbelief.

However, just as He Zhiyu's mind was racing, trying to understand what was happening before her eyes, she saw Li Zhi suddenly kick Shen Yuan hard.

Accompanying the kick was an angry shout.

"I taught your mother that!"

"Yes,"

Shen Yuan nodded to Li Zhi, then blurted out, "Yes, Mom."

Li Zhixue's fair cheeks flushed crimson instantly, and her clenched fist slammed into Shen Yuan's arm with a whooshing sound.

The sound of thumping rang out on Shen Yuan's arm. Li Zhi's beating seemed fierce, but in Shen Yuan's perception, this seemingly fierce beating was not even as painful as the feeling of the kitten using him as a cushion to step on.

"You bastard, go to hell!" The beautiful girl's angry voice trembled with embarrassment and resentment, her hair bouncing on her shoulders with each movement.

He Zhiyu, sitting in the front row, stared blankly at the childhood sweethearts, watching their textbook-perfect flirting. For a moment, she was stunned, her mouth agape, and she even forgot to close it.

Shen Yuan showed no anger at Li Zhi's attack; instead, he smiled with satisfaction. He nodded slightly, a low chuckle escaping his throat: "Li Bao's massage techniques are getting more and more professional."

These words were like adding fuel to the fire, completely enraging the beautiful girl.

Li Zhi's face instantly turned bright red. Enraged, she raised her foot and stomped hard on Shen Yuan's toes.

Just as her foot was about to stomp hard on Shen Yuan's foot, at the critical moment, the girl's heel suddenly turned inward a little.

The heel slammed heavily on the ground with a dull thud, while the toe landed on Shen Yuan's foot, which was less dangerous.

Nevertheless, the little leather shoes relentlessly ground against Shen Yuan's instep, causing a sharp pain.

At the same time, the girl suddenly tightened her grip on Shen Yuan's collar, pulling him close.

Is it professional or not?

Shen Yuan groaned, his body involuntarily leaning back. He clenched his teeth tightly: "Is Li Bao... stamping my name?"

"Shut up!" Li Zhi's voice was full of shame and indignation. She added a little more force to her foot, making Shen Yuan gasp.

"Is that bold enough?" Shen Yuan forced a smile through his pain and teased.

Upon hearing this, He Zhiyu's eyes widened instantly.

The moment Li Zhi heard Shen Yuan's teasing remark, his pupils contracted sharply like a cat with its fur standing on end, and he quickly shook off Shen Yuan.

The fingertips that were originally gripping Shen Yuan's collar curled into defensive cat paws and hung in mid-air, while the toes of her small leather shoes were slightly raised.

For some reason, even though Shen Yuan was clearly being a jerk, Li Zhi always felt like she was being flirted with.

The pretty girl pushed Shen Yuan away repeatedly and scolded him urgently.

"Get out of here! Go take out your garbage!"

"Hey, eh, eh."

Shen Yuan was pushed to the side of the trash can.

Shen Yuan is the one in the duty group who takes out the trash.

There's an unwritten rule about taking out the trash: when a student comes back with the trash can after taking out the trash, they are considered unselectable.

Even if the bell rings, the homeroom teacher or even the dean of students can only say "go back quickly" and cannot impose any punishment.

Shen Yuan's garbage disposal partner, or rather, his garbage disposal partner, is Pan Hao, the math class representative who sits in the back row.

In A-Jie's words, he's a complete idiot.

Those who refuse to let A-Jie copy their homework are idiots, and Shen Yuan is no exception.

To be honest, Shen Yuan was once refused permission by Pan Hao to copy homework, so he ended up having Li Zhi copy it instead.

After the other students on duty finished sweeping, Shen Yuan and Pan Hao picked up the trash cans together and prepared to empty the trash inside.

Since the two rarely communicated, Shen Yuan did not intend to initiate a conversation with Pan Hao.

However, just as the two were heading to the garbage station, Pan Hao suddenly broke the silence: "Shen Yuan, are you and Li Zhi dating?"

Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

However, Shen Yuan shook his head and replied, "No."

Upon seeing this, Pan Hao frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Shen Yuan's answer, and continued, "But I see that you and Li Zhi are quite intimate."

Shen Yuan found Pan Hao's question a bit strange: "Isn't it okay if we have a good relationship?"

Shen Yuan looked at Pan Hao, his brows furrowing: "If you're alright, let's hurry over and take out the trash. I need to go back and study."

But Pan Hao clearly wasn't going to let it go, and he continued to press, "Aren't you two getting a little too close?"

Shen Yuan's impatience grew stronger, and he couldn't help but ask, "What exactly do you want to ask? Do you like Li Zhi?"

What was originally just a casual question turned out to be met with Pan Hao's immediate and unequivocal admission: "Yes, I like Li Zhi."

This is a love rival!
Just as this thought popped into Shen Yuan's mind, a familiar voice rang out.

"Ding!"

After leaving Zhejiang University, you found Li Zhi's current workplace. Li Zhi was surprised by your arrival, and at the same time, Li Zhi's suitors also discovered your existence.

When your rival belittles you in front of Li Zhi, use your skills to deliver a heavy blow to your opponent!

[Strike back at your rival and make him give up on pursuing Li Zhi. Reward: Your existing funds (9457.5) are doubled.]

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

The damn idiot system's timeline is still stuck two days ago.

But isn't this just something that comes naturally?

Shen Yuan's gaze was fixed on Pan Hao, as if trying to see through him, before he launched his attack: "You like Li Zhi?"

Pan Hao nodded, a very serious expression on his face: "I pursued her when I was in my second year of high school, but she rejected me."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's lips twitched slightly, and a feeling that he couldn't quite describe welled up inside him.

He stared at Pan Hao in disbelief, cursing inwardly.

Damn it, this stupid system actually assigned me a loser rival in love?

This sudden situation left Shen Yuan somewhat at a loss.

"No, then... then what exactly do you mean?" Shen Yuan frowned and asked with a suspicious look on his face.

He really couldn't understand what Pan Hao wanted to do.

Pan Hao stared at Shen Yuan, seemingly observing his reaction. After a while, he continued, "I just want to know, do you like Li Zhi?"

Shen Yuan frowned even more, finding Pan Hao's question somewhat absurd: "Whether I like Li Zhi or not, what does that have to do with you?"

However, Pan Hao was not affected by Shen Yuan's attitude. He still said earnestly, "I see that Li Zhi is especially happy when she's with you. So, what I want to say is, if you really like Li Zhi, please make sure she stays this happy!"

Shen Yuan felt like his head was about to explode after hearing Pan Hao's words.

What kind of pure love warrior's statement is this!
Looking into Pan Hao's serious eyes, he suddenly had a strange feeling that if he shook his head to show that he didn't like Li Zhi, Pan Hao would probably kill him on the spot.

However, in reality, Shen Yuan would have done the same thing even without Pan Hao saying so.

Shen Yuan looked at Pan Hao and said with a smile, "Don't you think she's quite happy being with me right now?"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Pan Hao opened his mouth and said, "That's great."

Pan Hao's voice sounded somewhat bitter.

A pure-hearted warrior's budding love died.

【mission completed! 】

[Strike back at your rival and make him give up on pursuing Li Zhi. Reward: Existing funds (9457.5) doubled! (Completed)]

Shen Yuan scratched his head, completely baffled by Pan Hao's thought process.

Forget it, let's simplify complex problems.

Pan Hao is a complete idiot.

that's it!
After taking out the trash, Shen Yuan returned to the classroom with light steps.

The morning study bell had already rung, and the sound of morning reading could be heard in the classroom.

"What are you doing?"

When my older cousin came out of Class 14, she grabbed Shen Yuan in the corridor.

"Take out the trash," Shen Yuan said truthfully, lifting the trash can in his hand.

My older cousin nodded: "Go ahead, go ahead."

After returning to his seat, Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi, who was studying vocabulary, and nodded to himself.

Another day of protecting Young Master Li!
