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

Chapter 153 I Want to Be the First to Rush Towards You
Shen Yuan watched as the class formations walked towards the podium and took a deep breath.

A-Jie gave him a thumbs up.

Soon, as the drumbeats of "Athletes' March" sounded, the formation of Class 15 marched towards the podium.

Since it's not time to pull off any big stunts yet, everything is being kept low-key.

Yang Yimeng, the class monitor who was walking at the front, turned her head and looked at the boys in the class, then shook her head helplessly.

Oh well, that's always been the class spirit of Class 15.

"Now marching towards us is Class 15 of Senior Three!"

As soon as the announcer finished reading the script, the entire formation of Class 15 suddenly started shaking in a mesmerizing way.

Suddenly, the five boys in the front row all raised the folded wooden boards above their heads in unison.

The soul-searching question, "Have you memorized it?", composed of white KT boards, stands in mid-air.

On the far right, Shen Yuan held up a huge question mark whiteboard with a tense face, looking like a mascot of the resentful species holding a giant lollipop.

The students on both sides unfurled the poster, which was several meters long, with a "whoosh"!

The left panel is densely covered with handwritten formulas such as trigonometric functions and elliptic equations, while the right panel is filled with excerpts from "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" and high-frequency English words in colorful fluorescent pens.

"Odd changes to even and stays the same!"

Suddenly, Yao Junhao from the Sports Commission shouted, and the formation instantly switched to a wave-shaped formation.

Those students who didn't bring posters started waving their "53" practice books.

A few dramatic individuals in the back row even started taking out their English vocabulary books and reading them aloud.

"Abandon!"

The school leaders on the stage twitched at the corners of their mouths, but the other classes erupted in laughter and applause.

A cheer erupted on the playground of Jiyang Middle School.

Looking at his class's baffling actions, Lao Zhou turned to the homeroom teacher of Class 14 beside him and gave a wry smile.

The homeroom teacher of Class 14 smiled, but in his heart he was constantly complaining about Old Zhou.

Without your approval as the homeroom teacher, could they have pulled off this whole thing?
However, this year, Class 15 of the senior year was overshadowed by the freshmen.

The high school freshmen rushed onto the track with stretchers, each patient on a stretcher carrying a textbook, pretending to be learning.

At the very front of the line, someone was holding a banner.

—I was suddenly jolted awake from my deathbed, and they helped me up to memorize vocabulary!

What's even funnier is that during the run into the track, a stretcher broke apart, and the patient lying on it fell off.

But if you're talking about silly kids who can pull off some funny things, then someone said loudly.

"I can still learn!"

They completely stole the spotlight from Class 15.

Ah Jie's teeth were itching from watching.

"Ugh, why?! Such a great idea!"

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at A-Jie: "It's okay. Although your idea isn't as good as theirs, we're the ones that attract more hatred."

Ah Jie nodded in deep agreement, then sighed with his hands behind his back, "Forget it, let's give it to them this year. The younger generation will always surpass the older one!"

After all the classes were in place, the school leaders made their appearance.

The microphone on the podium emitted a piercing buzz as the principal adjusted his glasses and began reading his speech.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't too hot today, so the audience was able to stand comfortably.

"Our school has always adhered to the principle of all-round development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education..."

The school leaders' speeches echoed across the playground like a long, drawn-out lullaby.

Shen Yuan stood on the playground, listening listlessly, his thoughts already drifting far away.

However, his gaze was soon drawn to a figure.

That was Li Zhi, who was sitting on the stands not far away, chatting with He Zhiyu.

The sunlight shone on her, outlining her youthful and beautiful features.

However, Li Zhi seemed unaware of Shen Yuan's gaze; her attention was entirely focused on her conversation with He Zhiyu.

Of course, even if Li Zhi noticed it, he might not be able to see it clearly.

The two were still quite far apart.

Besides, there was someone standing crookedly next to Shen Yuan, holding a huge whiteboard that almost completely obscured the person.

"Yuan, prop it up!" a classmate shouted.

"Yes, yes, those in the front row, put up the boards to block the sun for the girls!" another classmate chimed in.

“OK!” Shen Yuan held up the whiteboard.

Soon, "Have you memorized it?" The five whiteboards were put back up, blocking out the sunlight for the 15 boards.

Yang Yimeng, the class representative who was holding up a sign in the front row, turned her head with a lingering gaze when she heard the commotion behind her.

but……

But let's get back to the point.

Although the school leaders are a little nearsighted, they are not blind.

The sight of these large planks standing in the square formation, raised again, seemed somewhat mocking to him as he read his manuscript.

Have you memorized it? You're just reading from a script; that's not professional at all!
However, such a trivial matter was not enough to upset the school leaders, so it was nothing serious.

At the end of the school leader's speech, the principal pushed his glasses back up on his nose and read the last sentence in a melodious tone: "May the students show their youthful spirit on the field and promote the spirit of sports!"

The microphone on the podium emitted a sharp, static-like sound as the sound faded, and thunderous applause erupted from the audience.

As the principal announced the official opening of the sports meet, the sports field instantly transformed into a sea of ​​cheers.

During the sports meet, the sports committee was mainly responsible for the conduct of each event, while the class monitor and other class officers played a supporting role.

Shen Yuan's 3000-meter race is tomorrow, so what he needs to do now is go find Li Bao.

Shen Yuan tiptoed around to the back of the audience seats, his gaze sweeping over the bustling crowd for a moment before finally spotting the figure sitting in the aisle.

Li Zhi lowered his head and swiped his phone screen. His stray hairs were tinged with golden brown by the sunlight filtering through the stands, and the hem of his school uniform draped over his knees swayed gently in the wind.

"Aren't you going to get sunburned?"

He strode down the steps in two quick steps, his shadow casting a long shadow over the girl.

The rustling sound of the school trousers fabric startled the focused person, and when Li Zhi looked up, she saw Shen Yuan's familiar face.

Li Zhi shook her head: "I applied sunscreen."

"That's fine."

Shen Yuan tilted his head to look at the empty seating area, his fingers gripping the railing as he gestured towards the bustling sprinters on the track, and asked, "Where should I sit?"

Li Zhi continued tapping on his phone screen, his voice carried by the cheers of the cheerleaders on the other side of the stands: "Whatever, there are plenty of empty seats."

Shen Yuan chuckled and said, "Then I'll go backstage to find A-Jie and the others."

Shen Yuan deliberately dragged his feet back two steps, making a move toward the entrance of the passage.

Li Zhi lifted her eyelids and glanced at him: "Go ahead, I'll stay here and watch for a while."

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan no longer wanted to leave.

However, even though that's what Shen Yuan thought, he still turned around and went backstage.

"Then I'll go first."

Li Zhi nodded but did not reply to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, and as he turned around, the hem of his school uniform stirred a gentle breeze. His deliberately slowed footsteps intertwined with the cheers of the cheerleaders on the other side of the stands, creating a fading echo.

The dappled shadows of trees at the entrance to the passageway, and the faint sounds of hurried activity from each class coming from backstage.

Before long, Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan return, holding an English vocabulary book in his hand.

Under Li Zhi's questioning gaze, Shen Yuan put the English vocabulary book on the aisle and plopped down next to Li Zhi.

The aisle was lower than the seats, so after Shen Yuan sat down, he had to look up at Li Zhi.

He looked up and met her questioning gaze. A pale golden halo shone on the boy's jawline: "Hehe, I'll sit here."

Sunlight shone on the boy's profile, giving him a youthful glow.

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan: "Whatever."

Beside Li Zhi, He Zhiyu quietly pointed to the commotion between the childhood sweethearts, Zhuo Peipei, and a smile appeared on the faces of the two little sugar dolls.

However, just as Shen Yuan sat down, A-Jie, who had just returned from backstage with Yang Ze carrying water, suddenly discovered that his English vocabulary notebook was missing.

"Damn it! Who took my vocabulary book?! Don't they have any manners?!"

The sacrifice of A-Jie's vocabulary notebook was effective.

As the sun rose higher, he took the opportunity to adjust his posture, his shoes rubbing against the edges of the steps inch by inch, his school trousers making a soft rustling sound as they rubbed together.

When Li Zhi's hair brushed against Shen Yuan's hand holding the phone for the third time, their sleeves were now only half a hand's width apart without them even noticing.

Seeing the head almost touching him, Li Zhi reached out and patted it.

"Hey! You've crossed the line!"

However, to Li Zhi's surprise, Shen Yuan tilted his head and pressed his weight onto her palm, the hair at the back of his head brushing against her palm and making it itchy.

"I was clearly trying to shield you from the sun."

As Shen Yuan spoke, he moved even closer, as if he had succeeded.

At this moment, his shadow had completely enveloped the phone on her lap.

He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei have moved to a great viewing spot diagonally behind them.

The two girls suppressed their laughter as Shen Yuan pretended to be calm and placed his hand on Li Zhi's side, but the veins on the back of his hand revealed the force he was exerting.

Just when the two girls thought this scene would continue, a roar rang out from the stands of Class 15.

"Shen Yuan!!"

Ah Jie came knocking on the door.

Ah Jie's roar tore through the ambiguous atmosphere in the stands.

He stormed up the steps, clutching a half-empty bottle of mineral water, his school uniform collar still stained with dust from carrying water.

When his gaze fell upon the two figures at the corner of the steps, his frantic steps came to an abrupt halt on the third step.

Ah Jie looked at his English vocabulary book being placed under Shen Yuan's bottom and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What the hell..."

"What's wrong?" Shen Yuan looked up at A-Jie.

Ah-Jie's hand, holding the mineral water bottle, froze in mid-air; for a moment, paternal love overwhelmed brotherly affection.

Ah Jie said seriously, "Xiao Hua bought a cup of millet porridge for the exam in the morning and asked Huang Feihong to guess how many apples were in the question. However, Guo Qilin chose Huawei's toothpaste because it was clean and fast when brushing his teeth. So, how many grams of toothpaste do you need to squeeze out!"

Shen Yuan answered without hesitation: "5 grams."

Ah Jie froze on the spot: "How did you know?"

"Because 5G is fast!"

"Farewell!"

Ah Jie clasped his hands in a fist salute, then turned and left.

But as he left the stands, A-Jie quickly sent a message to Shen Yuan.

"Please treat me to milk tea tonight."

Shen Yuan replied quickly: "Let's have a couple of drinks."

Brotherhood resides in the heart.

Ah Jie returned to the back row with a satisfied look on his face, and then he ran into Yang Shuai.

"Hey, Jay, didn't you go to look for Shen Yuan? Didn't you find him?"

Ah Jie nodded, tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and sighed, "I found it, but I can't bear to disturb him and Li Zhi, so let my vocabulary book suffer a little."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shuai immediately gave A-Jie a thumbs up.

"If Teacher Monkey were as reliable as you, I would probably be single by now."

Upon hearing this, A-Jie asked in confusion, "Is your little sister ignoring you?"

Yang Shuai shook his head: "No, it's just that he doesn't call me 'brother' anymore when we play games."

Ah Jie pounced on him, yelling, "You fucking deserve to die, Chu Sheng!!!"

In the stands, Shen Yuan continued reading. Taking advantage of adjusting his posture, the vocabulary book under his buttocks made a soft rustling sound as it rubbed against the concrete steps.

Her short hair, slightly scalded by the sun, brushed against the fabric of Li Zhi's school uniform as she moved.

Suddenly, Shen Yuan's voice came to Li Zhi's ears: "Baby, I'm a little dizzy. Can I lean on your knees for a bit?"

"Okay, I'll call 110 for you and tell them someone committed indecent assault."

Shen Yuan immediately straightened up: "That's really unnecessary."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan.

……

During evening self-study, Shen Yuan kept his promise and brought A-Jie milk tea.

This is to mourn A-Jie's vocabulary notebook that Shen Yuan rubbed against all morning.

As for why there was no friction in the afternoon, it's because Li Zhi went backstage.

The afternoon sun was quite strong; it was really too hot.

The first day of the sports meet ended at 4:30 pm.

Class 15 received one gold and one silver medal.

They were all shot puts.

The sports committee was busy with various tasks and might have been a bit distracted, which ultimately allowed Haojie to win the gold medal.

Although Haojie and the sports committee member's throwing posture was not as standard as that of the sports training team.

But throwing bricks with all your might is always the best approach.

Shen Yuan wasn't actually very confident about his long-distance running, but he would only know once he started running.

"Li Bao, wait for me at the finish line later."

At 9:50 a.m. on the second day of the sports meet, students participating in the 3000-meter race began to check in.

Shen Yuan made a point of telling Li Zhi before he left, but all he got in return was a glare from the pretty girl.

Watching Shen Yuan's departing figure, and after the boy disappeared from her sight, Li Zhi slowly stood up and walked towards the stands.

I'm not going to pick him up, I'm just going to check on him.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Zhi went to the stands and found a prominent seat to sit down.

The announcements from the check-in area echoed beside the synthetic track.

Shen Yuan, as part of the first group in the 3000-meter race, is walking towards the track with a group of students.

A freshman asked nervously, "Senior, have any of you run the 3000 meters?"

“No, it’s the first time,” a senior high school boy said.

"Won't it be embarrassing if I can't run?"

Upon hearing this, the others in the group burst into laughter.

A physical education student patted a first-year high school student on the shoulder:

"Don't be ashamed. The fact that you're standing here makes you better than everyone else! Keep running, even if you're the last one, if you finish, I believe everyone will cheer for you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gao finally smiled.

As the starting gun fired, several figures quickly surged out from the 3000-meter starting line.

Shen Yuan did not rush to the front, but chose to stay at the back.

Since Shen Yuan didn't have much experience running 3000 meters and didn't know how to allocate his energy, he chose to follow behind the trainees at the front.

Shen Yuan quickly passed by the stands of Class 15, and heard cheers from all around him.

Shen Yuan's gaze suddenly locked onto a familiar figure.

Seeing Li Zhi's slightly raised chin, Shen Yuan smiled.

3000 meters, 7 and a half laps.

Shen Yuan quickly ran three and a half laps.

When he passed by the 15th class stand again, his steps remained steady, and he maintained a following distance of about two meters from the physical education students.

Seeing that Shen Yuan was still in second place, the students in Class 15 couldn't help but start discussing among themselves.

"Wow! Lao Yuan is pretty fierce!"

A-Jie was somewhat surprised to see Shen Yuan's still relaxed expression.

Sun Xiansheng shook his head and said, "Damn it, you know if you've ever played badminton with Lao Yuan in PE class. That guy is a monster. It takes three or four of us taking turns to hit him before he can even react."

By the fifth lap, the high school freshman's face was flushed and his breathing was heavy and labored.

At this moment, the physical education trainees had already come up behind him.

As he spun the leash once, the trainee quickly said to him, "Go for it!"

Before the first-year high school students could react, a second cheer came from behind them.

Before he could say anything, he saw Shen Yuan and the physical education trainees running forward.

6 and a half laps.

When Shen Yuan ran past the stands again, he found that Li Zhi was nowhere to be seen.

"He probably went to the toilet."

Shen Yuan thought to himself, while he followed closely behind the physical trainees.

The long run had left Shen Yuan somewhat fatigued.

However, it seems he hasn't reached his limit yet.

"The skills that the system gave me are pretty powerful!"

Shen Yuan couldn't help but think of the system that hadn't reacted for a long time; perhaps the memory of Li Zhi that had been extracted last time had made it a little tired.

"Brother Tongzi, get well soon! The skills you gave me are so useful!"

As Shen Yuan thought of this, he saw the physical trainees ahead begin to quicken their pace.

Shen Yuan immediately followed suit.

When the trainee caught sight of Shen Yuan out of the corner of his eye, he quickly exclaimed "Holy crap!" and then began to exert himself intensely.

Shen Yuan also began to exert his strength at the same time.

Although the physical education trainees train day after day, unfortunately, Shen Yuan is overpowered.

The athletes gritted their teeth and suddenly accelerated in the last 100 meters before the finish line, their backs soaked with sweat.

Shen Yuan was about to muster all his strength to catch up when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Zhi standing outside the finish line at the end of the track, her hair disheveled by the wind.

A surge of scalding heat exploded in the boy's chest.

His previously heavy legs suddenly felt light, as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline, and the force of his push sent plastic particles flying.

The physical education trainee suddenly felt hurried footsteps ringing in his ears.

When the trainees turned around in astonishment, they only saw beads of sweat on Shen Yuan's forehead reflecting light like shattered diamonds, and veins bulging on his neck.

The two boys sprinted as if they were about to smash through the air.

"Beep——"

The beeping of the electronic timer tore through the noise.

As Shen Yuan stumbled across the finish line, the toes of the trainee's shoes were only half a palm's width away from the white line.

When Shen Yuan crossed the finish line first, Class 15 erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Shen Yuan staggered forward for a distance before finally stopping.

"Holy crap, buddy, you..."

The physical education student was panting heavily. Before he could say anything, he saw a girl standing in front of Shen Yuan.

"you……"

She pursed her lips and moved the bottle forward a little more, her words drowned out by the cheers of the crowd as they helped Shen Yuan up.

"Shen Yuan! Shen Yuan!"

"Li Bao, save me!"

Seeing the bewildered Shen Yuan, Li Zhi's face broke into a bright smile.

As for the athletes, they all looked dejected.

Damn...

In the stands, He Zhiyu's phone captured a snapshot of Shen Yuan's glance at Li Zhi as he crossed the finish line—

It's like a meteorite passing through the atmosphere and finally finding the sea it's going to fall into.

In the backstage rest area, a small section occupied by Class 15 had tables pieced together to form a temporary platform.

Seeing Shen Yuan being carried back, class monitor Xu Ziqiong, who was sitting behind the table, immediately showed a surprised expression.

"What's going on here?"

"Shen Yuan is first in his 3000-meter heat! He overtook Zhang Kai! He surpassed the school's 3000-meter record holder!"

Chen Mingyu spoke quickly.

Upon hearing this, the squad leader immediately covered his mouth: "That strong?"

"Put it down, put it down, let me rest!" Shen Yuan struggled to say.

Upon hearing this, A-Jie and the others put Shen Yuan down.

Shen Yuan quickly found a chair to sit down and rest: "Where's the water?"

Just as A-Jie was about to take it, he saw a hand stretched out in front of Shen Yuan: "Here."

Seeing Li Zhi standing in front of Shen Yuan, A-Jie secretly gave his brothers a wink, and the group quickly and discreetly left.

Li Zhi placed the mineral water bottle on the edge of the table and pulled over a chair to sit next to Shen Yuan.

The scent of peaches mingled with the sweat of the boy after exercise in the sweltering air.

The starting gun for the second heat of the men's 3000 meters rang out from the track in the distance.

She tapped the table with her fingers, watching Shen Yuan's wet, stray hairs sticking to his collar.

The girl rarely offered praise, saying, "That was great! The final impact scene was really powerful!"

Shen Yuan unscrewed the bottle cap and slowly drank the water, the water dripping from his Adam's apple as it rolled down his chin.

Suddenly, the chair under Shen Yuan's buttocks emitted a screeching sound, and he tilted his entire body to the left at a 30-degree angle.

"Ouch, I think I twisted my back while sprinting."

Li Zhi looked down at the fluffy head that tentatively leaned against her shoulder, the steam rising from the hair brushing against her ear.

Just as Shen Yuan's temple was about to touch the fabric of his school uniform, he suddenly saw Li Zhi pick up a piece of white paper and place it on his shoulder.

Shen Yuan understood that Li Zhi had tacitly approved of this.

Seeing Li Zhi's appearance, Shen Yuan became somewhat nervous.

The boy's body was taut like a fully drawn bow, his neck trembling slightly as he deliberately tightened his grip.

His spine slid down the back of the chair, but stopped abruptly just before touching the white paper on the girl's shoulder, maintaining a delicate balance.

"Didn't you say you strained your back?"

Li Zhi's voice rang in my ears: "This shows concern for the patients."

Hearing this, Shen Yuan finally gently rested his head on Li Zhi's shoulder.

The scent of peach blossoms wafted from the girl's hair, making Shen Yuan's heart pound nervously.

Shen Yuan licked his lips and said in a dry voice, "Do you know why I rushed so fast?"

"I don't know, did the class's sense of collective honor suddenly erupt?"

Shen Yuan let out a soft chuckle: "No."

"Because I want to be the first one to rush to you."

Fifteen meters behind the outer wall, He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei covered each other's mouths tightly, their shoulders trembling as they tried to hold it in.

Beside the two, the class monitor, the academic representative, and the sports representative looked at each other in bewilderment.

Did we just get fed dog food?
