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

Chapter 146 Childhood Sweethearts with 99.99% Purity

"Here you go! This is the fourth day's milk tea."

After lunch, Shen Yuan brought his older cousin a cup of milk tea, as usual.

Yang Yishui happily accepted the milk tea, a smile involuntarily appearing on her lips. She looked at Shen Yuan cheerfully and asked, "Classes will resume normally tomorrow. What are your thoughts?"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "What kind of thoughts do I have? It's Thursday today. I'll give you 50 V's. I'm having KFC tonight."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yishui's relaxed brows instantly furrowed. She said irritably, "Eating KFC every day, are you worried I'll tell your mom? How many times have you taken Li Zhi to KFC these past few days?"

Shen Yuan quickly explained, "Oh, it wasn't several times, it was only three times. Besides, we didn't eat much, we just went to get some ice cream."

Yang Yishui rolled her eyes at him: "It's only been four days since the 4th, and you've already eaten ice cream three times. You're going again today. Isn't that eating it every day?"

Shen Yuan felt a little embarrassed by what he was being told. He touched his nose and muttered softly, "Then take me to eat something else."

Shen Yuan had only asked casually, but he didn't expect Yang Yishui to agree.

"I'll take you guys out for hot pot tonight."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan grabbed Yang Yishui's hand and stared into his innocent eyes, asking, "Really? My dear sister?"

Yang Yishui nodded: "Come find me after school, let's go together."

"okay!"

Shen Yuan immediately scurried back to the classroom.

"Why are you so happy?" Li Zhi asked, puzzled by Shen Yuan's cheerful expression.

Upon hearing Li Zhi's question, Shen Yuan approached the pretty girl's table and told her the good news.

"Sister Shui said she'd take us out for hot pot for dinner."

Li Zhi blinked, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

However, Li Zhi quickly looked at Shen Yuan with some doubt: "Why did Sister Shui take us out for hot pot?"

“I contacted her on WeChat and she said she would take me to KFC every day, and then she said she would take us to eat hot pot.”

Shen Yuan shrugged: "Who cares? At least we have food."

"Ok."

The last class on the afternoon of the 7th was Lao Zhou's class, because Lao Zhou had taken over the self-study period.

Just before the end of get out of class, Lao Zhou put down his lesson plan and started talking about other things.

"I have something to tell you, which you probably already know, but I'll emphasize it again just in case anyone forgets."

"Starting tomorrow, class schedules will change. The school gates will open at 6 a.m., so day students shouldn't come too early. Morning self-study will be moved to 7 a.m., so boarding students should remember to eat breakfast before coming to the classroom. The long break will be replaced with morning exercises, and the Student Affairs Office will conduct random checks on students who don't participate in the morning exercises."

As Old Zhou spoke, he looked at the students in the class and said, "If anyone is feeling unwell and can't run the morning exercises, remember to come to me for a leave slip. Don't blame me if the student affairs office deducts points from the class."

"The school gates close at 1 p.m., don't forget the time. Evening self-study is the same as usual. Oh, and Sunday afternoon is still a holiday."

Upon hearing Lao Zhou's words, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up slightly; this was probably good news.

After all, after the National Day holiday, classes will continue from the 8th until the 17th when the monthly exams are over.

For first and second-year high school students, it's 10 days, but for third-year students, it's almost two weeks.

If there's no time to catch your breath in between, the pressure would be too much.

Under pressure, anything can happen.

Young couples dating is relatively mild; a student falling from the rooftop would be in serious trouble.

It's only half a day anyway, it won't take much time.

As soon as school was over, my older cousin took Shen Yuan and Li Zhi and set off.

It wasn't until they got in the car that Shen Yuan realized a problem: "Sis, we only have a little over an hour, is there enough time to eat?"

Yang Yishui nodded: "Don't worry, I've already asked Sister Yang Liu to prepare it for us. When you've almost finished eating, I'll call you a car."

Shen Yuan's lips twitched. Judging from his older cousin's words, she probably wasn't planning to send the two of them back.

My older cousin has a history of messing with her younger brother.

But when it comes to tricking his younger brother with a hot pot meal, Shen Yuan can only say that he did it voluntarily.

The hot pot restaurant was a quick trip, less than 10 minutes away.

When Yang Yishui and Li Zhi entered the store, Shen Yuan noticed that at least six or seven people were staring at the two women.

The two have completely different temperaments.

The older cousin exuded the intellectual and capable air of a young female teacher, while Li Zhi, dressed in a school uniform, looked brimming with youthful energy.

The appearance of such a couple in the store naturally attracted a lot of attention.

There were even a few young couples among them.

In response, Shen Yuan could only say that you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you like them, but if you like two people, then you'd better keep it well hidden!
"Shui Shui! Over here!"

Not long after arriving at the hot pot restaurant, Shen Yuan saw someone calling out to Yang Yishui.

Yang Liu, Yang Yishui's cousin, is also related to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan and Yang Liu actually met quite a few times.

This hot pot restaurant was opened by my cousin's husband. The food is pretty good, and my cousin often comes here to eat.

Shen Yuan naturally benefited from this opportunity quite a few times.

While her older cousin and her other cousin were chatting, Shen Yuan took Li Zhi to get some seasonings.

Do you have any favorite food flavors?

"Make it a little spicy, and not too much sesame paste," Li Zhi said.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Then I'll make you a copy. You can make whatever else you need."

Li Zhi responded softly.

The two have similar tastes; what Shen Yuan likes to eat, Li Zhi generally likes as well.

Shen Yuan prepared three portions of the ingredients.

Shen Yuan had gotten used to serving his older cousin condiments when they ate hot pot.

"Here, let's eat."

After the beef was cooked, Shen Yuan took the initiative to pick it up.

As Yang Yishui reached out to take it as was her habit, she saw Shen Yuan put the beef into Li Zhi's bowl across from her.

"Eh?"

The older cousin froze, her fingers holding the chopsticks curled slightly, and her natural forward lean to receive the bowl abruptly stopped.

"I'll give it to you in a bit!" Shen Yuan said dismissively.

Amidst the rising steam of the hot pot, my older cousin suddenly put down her chopsticks, rested her chin on her hand, and showed no displeasure whatsoever; instead, she appeared quite engrossed.

Yang Yishui's gaze lingered between Shen Yuan and Li Zhi, her lips curving upwards into a meaningful smile.

After a while, Shen Yuan cooked another serving of beef. He picked it up and put it in Yang Yishui's bowl, saying with a smile, "Here, sis, yours is ready."

Yang Yishui looked at the beef in the bowl, a playful smile on her face.

The older cousin slowly raised her head, looked directly into Shen Yuan's eyes, and said softly, "Shen Yuan."

Hearing Yang Yishui call his name, Shen Yuan immediately became alert and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"

Yang Yishui's smile deepened, and she said with a half-smile, "You're quite skilled now."

Shen Yuan smiled sheepishly: "It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, sister."

Yang Yishui snorted disdainfully, then leaned close to Shen Yuan's ear and whispered, "When did this happen?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan waved his hand repeatedly, then picked up his phone and replied.

"No, that's not true. We're just childhood friends, 99.99% pure!"

Seeing this, the older cousin snorted coldly.

99.99%? I don't believe you for a second!

However, seeing that Shen Yuan was unwilling to talk about it, Yang Yishui did not intend to continue to ask, but instead pointed to her own bowl.

Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly.

Just then, a pair of chopsticks landed on the edge of Shen Yuan's bowl.

"Ding--"

The crisp sound of the porcelain bowl clattering against the bamboo chopsticks broke the tense silence.

Li Zhi lowered her eyes and placed the tender beef wrapped in cilantro into Shen Yuan's bowl, her hair swaying gently in the steam of the hot pot: "It's overcooked, a bit tough."

The siblings glanced at the beef that had been refreshed in Shen Yuan's bowl, and then looked at Li Zhi, who had already sat down in his seat again.

Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised, while Yang Yishui felt as if she had been fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

Damn it! I actually got fed dog food by that bastard Shen Yuan?

Yang Yishui looked at Shen Yuan with surprise, her eyes full of questioning.

"So this is the 99.99% pure childhood sweetheart you were talking about?"

Shen Yuan smiled awkwardly, scratching his head unconsciously, unsure how to explain himself.

However, when he picked up the beef that Li Zhi had given him, he instantly understood why Li Zhi had said that the beef was a bit tough.

This isn't just a little old! It's incredibly old! If the beef hadn't been sliced ​​so thinly, it would be impossible to chew!

After dinner, Yang Yishui did as she had said before, hailing a car for Shen Yuan and Li Zhi and taking them back to school.

After returning to the hot pot restaurant, Yang Yishui's cousin, Yang Liucai, came to visit again.

"Was that your uncle's son just now?" Yang Liu asked curiously.

Yang Yishui nodded and replied, "Yes, that's right."

"And what about the one over there?" Yang Liu continued to ask. "This is the first time I've seen her. She's quite pretty. Could they be dating?"

Hearing this, Yang Yishui gave a slightly tired smile and said helplessly, "Those two, they're childhood sweethearts. I really didn't expect to be forced to witness Shen Yuan's PDA, I'm just..."

Yang Yishui felt somewhat irritable.

Seeing this, Yang Liu burst into laughter: "If you're really feeling down, how about I introduce you to a few potential partners?"

Yang Yishui quickly waved her hand and said, "Then forget it. Men are too much trouble. I'm already annoyed enough by dealing with a bunch of kids every day. I don't want to create more trouble for myself." "I'd rather stay single for the rest of my life."

……

Why did you think of putting meat on my plate just now?

Walking on the road to school, Shen Yuan asked the question that had been bothering him.

"I overcooked it."

Li Zhi said seriously, "It doesn't taste good anymore."

Shen Yuan looked at the beautiful girl's serious expression and suddenly laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

"Actually, you're quite bold too."

Li Zhi suddenly stopped, her porcelain-white ear tips blushing in the twilight.

She turned her head and pursed her lower lip, her long eyelashes trembling rapidly. Her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her school uniform, but she deliberately kept her voice clear and cold.

"I already told you, the meat was overcooked and wouldn't taste good, that's why I gave it to you."

Shen Yuan chuckled, naturally sensing the girl's arrogance.

Just kidding.

Although Shen Yuan has never tasted Li Zhi's cooking, how could Li Zhi not even be able to cook beef properly?

Shen Yuan turned his head to look at Li Zhi, and asked tentatively with a smile, "Actually, are you wondering what Sister Shui and I are whispering about?"

She suddenly turned around and glared at Shen Yuan, her ponytail tracing a defiant arc in the air: "Who's curious about what you and Sister Shui were talking about!"

Shen Yuan said with a smile, "I told Sister Shui that we are 99.99% childhood sweethearts."

Just then, the streetlights turned on, casting a warm yellow glow over the girl's slightly dazed face. Li Zhi's fingers suddenly tightened around the hem of her school uniform.

She pursed her lips, moistened by the night breeze, and suddenly looked up to look directly into Shen Yuan's eyes: "Why not 100%?"

Her porcelain-white ear tips blushed slightly in the twilight, but her voice remained taut and clear: "Who stole the remaining 0.01%?"

Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

The steaming hot pot vapor still seemed to linger around my nose, and the girl's scent felt indistinguishable from mine at that moment.

"actually……"

As his tongue pressed against his teeth, Shen Yuan suddenly took a deep breath.

"Perhaps that 0.01%..."

The moment the last syllable was deliberately drawn out, the boy suddenly leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her reddened earlobe.

Suddenly, Li Zhi saw a cunning yet gentle light shimmer in Shen Yuan's eyes.

"It was an error; I should have left myself the possibility of getting the marriage certificate with you."

The moment Shen Yuan finished speaking, Li Zhi's cheeks flushed a deep, burning red, and even the tips of her ears shone as if they were soaked in rose juice.

She suddenly lowered her head, turning around abruptly like a startled deer, her ponytail tracing a rapid arc in the air.

"You wish!"

Her trembling reproach was broken by the night wind, and she almost ran forward a few steps.

The glow of the streetlights followed her hurried figure.

Shen Yuan stood there, a self-deprecating smirk playing on his lips: "Coward..."

When they reached the teaching building, Li Zhi suddenly stopped.

The beautiful girl never dared to turn around, but unconsciously slowed her pace at the corner, as if waiting for something, or perhaps afraid of having her thoughts read.

"What an idiot! Does getting a marriage certificate mean we're no longer childhood sweethearts?!"

Li Zhi was startled by her own thoughts, bit her lower lip, quickened her pace, and disappeared around the corner.

Before returning to the classroom, Li Zhi took two deep breaths to calm his inner turmoil before entering the classroom.

He Zhiyu stood at the classroom door, her eyes following Li Zhi's figure closely.

When she saw Li Zhi walk into the classroom alone, a feeling of déjà vu suddenly welled up in her heart.

"Zhizhi?" He Zhiyu called softly.

"Hmm?" Li Zhi looked at He Zhiyu with a puzzled expression.

At that moment, a strange, indescribable feeling welled up in He Zhiyu's heart.

She gazed at Li Zhi, as if she could see through her appearance to her true inner emotions.

"Did Shen Yuan make you angry again?" He Zhiyu blurted out involuntarily.

Li Zhi clearly hadn't expected He Zhiyu to ask that question, and immediately stammered, "No, no."

Upon hearing Li Zhi's answer, the young author subconsciously sensed that something was amiss.

A hint of doubt flashed in He Zhiyu's eyes.

At this moment, Li Zhi subconsciously avoided her friend's probing gaze: "I'm going to read first."

Seeing Li Zhi's evasive manner, He Zhiyu swallowed hard.

Things seem to have taken a bit unexpectedly.

However, He Zhiyu soon thought of Shen Yuan.

Li Zhi is rather stubborn and most likely won't say anything, but Shen Yuan might be a different story.

He Zhiyu rested her chin on her hand, observing Li Zhi's flushed ear tips, her fingertips tapping rhythmically on the desk.

As Shen Yuan's figure passed by the window, she suddenly straightened up.

For a moment, a unique feeling grew stronger in He Zhiyu's heart.

They were just like a couple secretly dating, but pretending nothing was happening on the surface.

Before Shen Yuan could even sit down, He Zhiyu waved to him.

Seeing the young author looking for him, Shen Yuan blinked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

He Zhiyu remained silent, only waving at Shen Yuan repeatedly.

Shen Yuan curiously approached He Zhiyu's seat, and then heard the young author speak.

"Shen Yuan, you've made Zhizhi angry. You need to comfort her."

"Aha?"

Shen Yuan was stunned.

Before he could say anything, Li Zhi pounced on him, grabbed the young author by the base of his neck, and shook him violently.

"He Zhiyu, say another word and I'll kill you!"

"Ah! Help! Shen Yuan, save me! Do something about your Li Zhi!" The young author was dizzy from the shaking and blurted out incoherently.

"He Zhiyu!!"

As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he felt a hand land on his shoulder.

Shen Yuan gently placed his palm on Li Zhi's slightly tense shoulders and said softly, "Young Master Li, you are a magnanimous person, please forgive this ignorant fellow."

Li Zhi turned around, snorted coldly, stared directly at Shen Yuan, and said sharply, "Whose side are you on?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan released his grip without hesitation.

"You continue."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi quickly reached out to tickle He Zhiyu's ticklish spot.

"Ah! Pepe, save me!"

Upon hearing his capable subordinate cry for help, the guild leader immediately leaped into the air and charged over.

"Hey! Take this!"

The next second, Li Zhi's exclamation rang in Shen Yuan's ears.

"what!"

The moment the girl's ticklish spot was attacked, she instinctively called out a name.

"Shen Yuan!"

In fact, Shen Yuan was already preparing to make a move even before Li Zhi shouted for him.

"Hey, be careful when you're shipping Peipei."

Shen Yuan grabbed Zhuo Peipei's school uniform jacket and easily pulled her aside.

Seeing Zhuo Peipei's annoyed expression, Shen Yuan raised the corners of his mouth and said, "My sweet and soft Li Bao is not someone you can touch."

Zhuo Peipei immediately spat at Shen Yuan: "Pah! Just say you're possessive of your food!"

"Hey! I'm just possessive of my food."

He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei's pupils contracted sharply the moment Shen Yuan finished speaking.

Two pairs of wide eyes collided silently in the frozen air.

Zhuo Peipei's eyebrows were so high they almost flew into her temples, and He Zhiyu let out a gasp from her slightly parted lips.

"You... you..."

Zhuo Peipei's voice was like a cat being choked, with a sharp, piercing tone at the end.

Her staggering half-step back caused Shen Yuan's desk to clatter loudly. Her previously arrogant demeanor now turned into trembling fingertips, making her look like a witness to a nuclear explosion.

"You, you, you, you bastard!"

Shen Yuan grabbed Zhuo Peipei's coat and pulled her aside: "What the hell have you done to my books?"

However, Zhuo Peipei completely ignored what Shen Yuan said.

At this moment, Zhuo Peipei and He Zhiyu had only one thought in their minds.

"Why are these two making such a rapid progress all of a sudden?"
