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

Chapter 154 This matter must not be known to the family.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Li Zhi looked down at the water stains spreading on his shoulder—the white paper that had been blocking the sweat was now completely soaked.

The boy's short hair tickled her neck, and the rising heat mixed with the scent of lime and sweat, creating a damp cloud where their clothes touched.

"How long are you going to lean on me?" She curled the hem of her school uniform with her fingertips, her voice softer than willow catkins floating in the air.

The cheers of the men's 3000m second heat coming from the distant track made this corner seem especially quiet.

Shen Yuan suddenly buried his face even deeper into the girl's shoulder: "How about we go home after school?"

The whining tone was drowned out by He Zhiyu's sudden, choking cough—two bright eyes were trembling against the door panel through the gap in the storage cabinet diagonally behind her.

Li Zhi raised her hand to push him away, but her fingertips hovered over the sweat-dampened stray hairs. Finally, she sighed and let the ends of her hair fall down to cover her reddened earlobes.

"I am tired."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan suddenly sat up, bringing with him a small patch of cool air.

"Then you lean back?" Shen Yuan patted his equally sweaty shoulder.

"Think beautifully!"

Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan, then turned and left.

As he turned, his sneakers made a short, sharp sound on the rubber floor. His reddened ear tips were faintly visible amidst the drifting willow catkins, leaving only a sliver of his ponytail swaying with each step.

As they passed through the passageway, Li Zhi grabbed He Zhiyu, who was silently screaming with Zhuo Peipei.

The two little sugar figurines immediately stopped laughing.

"Is it sweet?"

Despite trembling from Li Zhi's kind smile, the little sugar man still nodded stubbornly.

It's sweet, it must be sweet.

Little Sugar Man, never bow your head!

Li Zhi rolled his eyes at the two of them, and then went to watch the performance on stage.

After the second set of the 3000 meters was completed, the 3000-meter results were quickly released.

Clutching his report card, A-Jie sprinted from the podium, his sneakers making rapid strides on the rubber track.

Ah-Jie's voice arrived before he even got backstage.

"Yuan! Number one! You're number one!!"

Shen Yuan looked at A-Jie, his Adam's apple bobbing as he let out a nonchalant smile: "Calm down, don't be so loud."

"Damn it! Still pretending!"

Ah Jie suddenly widened his eyes and poked the other person's chest, which rose and fell with his breath, with his index finger: "Damn, you got the act! Remember to come collect your prize later!"

Shen Yuan nodded: "Understood."

The so-called award is actually just a simple medal with a simple production process.

A small award stage, then the top three receive medals, school leaders give a few words of encouragement, and they are given certificates and medals.

It's a very simple process.

In essence, it's possible that the school leaders wanted to do some cosplay, which is why they took this action.

Shen Yuan didn't have anything to say about this.

It doesn't matter.

Zhang Kai, the athlete who won the silver medal, was a little curious.

"Dude, you're really good."

"You too, you probably didn't play at your full strength."

Zhang Kai nodded: "I was just here to have some fun, who would have thought you'd overtake me? By the way, do you have any projects planned?"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I only quoted 3000."

"That's a pity, I wanted to have a competition with you."

"Maybe there will be a chance! I'm going back now!"

Shen Yuan waved and walked towards the side gate of the playground.

The gold-plated medal on Shen Yuan's chest swayed gently with his steps. Just as he turned the corner of the stands, he heard a clear call from above.

"Sand dollar!"

As he stopped, his sneakers left a half-circle on the rubber surface, and dried sweat clung to his tilted chin. The midday sun made him squint.

A half-swaying ponytail peeked out from the railing of the stands. Li Zhi clung to the rusty iron railing, half of her body almost hanging outside. Her school uniform billowed in the wind, and the arc of her hair falling down swept across Shen Yuan's upward gaze.

Does a gold medal weigh?

The girl's lips curled slightly, and she looked at Shen Yuan with a half-smile. Her fingertips lightly hooked the half-empty mineral water bottle and casually shook it.

Under the sunlight, the half-empty bottle of mineral water reflected light spots on the bottle, which seemed to dance merrily on Shen Yuan like little elves.

Shen Yuan deliberately tossed the medal up in the air: "Why don't you come down and try?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than He Zhiyu suddenly appeared from behind Li Zhi like a nimble little rabbit.

"Why can't you come up here?" He Zhiyu's voice was clear and loud, with a hint of a smile.

Shen Yuan's smile widened. He looked at He Zhiyu, then at Li Zhi, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes.

"Then you wait."

The stands are two meters below the track, and apart from the platform extending from the edge of the stands, there is an open area underneath with no footholds.

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, he lightly leaped up and climbed onto the platform of the stands with both hands.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Seeing Shen Yuan's behavior, Li Zhi hurriedly reprimanded him.

However, Li Zhi soon saw Shen Yuan slowly lift himself up by gripping the platform of the stands with both hands.

The system-enhanced physique allowed Shen Yuan to easily support his body.

Supported by that powerful core strength, Shen Yuan easily climbed onto the stands.

"Beep!"

Seeing Shen Yuan climb over the railing, Li Zhi rolled his eyes at him.

"Really? Aren't you afraid the political education department will arrest you?!"

"Tch, it's the sports meet now, you see they don't even catch those young couples."

Shen Yuan spoke with an indifferent expression.

"Humph!"

Just as she turned away from him, Shen Yuan gently tugged at the red string of the medal with her fingertips.

"Can I borrow it for a bit?"

The boy's voice was hoarse from exercise, but the medal ribbon had already crossed over the girl's swaying ponytail.

Li Zhi instinctively leaned back, but the back of his neck bumped into Shen Yuan's hand, which had been blocking in advance.

Shen Yuan deliberately let go and let the medal fall, landing on the girl's neck. The boy's wicked laughter rang in his ears: "Is it heavy?"

The girl's wide almond-shaped eyes reflected swaying golden light spots, and the ends of her hair and the red rope tangled in the wind.

"Are you asking for a beating?!"

With a soft rebuke, Li Zhiyi's electric cannon landed on Shen Yuan's arm.

Shen Yuan ran off laughing.

Li Zhi watched Shen Yuan's retreating figure, the red rope around her neck being lifted by the wind, tangling with the loose strands of hair from her ponytail.

The beautiful girl raised her hand and pinched the medal, her fingertips tracing the raised and recessed engravings.

The cheers from the high jump field in the distance were broken up by the wind and drifted over, but they couldn't drown out the heartbeat pounding through the metal in my palm.

The medal ribbon pressed against her collarbone by the wind, and Li Zhi suddenly remembered the tense lines of Shen Yuanyue's forearm when he went up to the stands, with beads of sweat rolling down the blue veins into the collar of his school uniform.

It seems quite charming. Li Zhi was startled by her own thoughts, realizing that she had been staring at the medal in a daze for a long time, and the tips of her ears were even redder from the midday sun.

If Shen Yuan saw this scene, he might feel that this was the true meaning of this medal.

Li Zhi returned the medal to Shen Yuan not long after.

This thing is too much trouble to carry.

"You can keep it for me," Shen Yuan said, looking at the medal Li Zhi handed him.

Li Zhi shook her head: "No, it's too ugly."

Just as Shen Yuan was about to say something, he heard a "ding" sound in his mind.

Holy crap! Brother Tongzi is back in action!
After returning from Hangzhou, you couldn't help but think about your high school days with Li Zhi. Those were the last time you spent together on campus.

After taking a well-preserved high school graduation photo out of the drawer, you look at Li Zhi's figure in the photo and suddenly think of the medal you won at the high school sports meet.

[Wrap up the sports meet medals and give them to Li Zhi as a keepsake of his school days. Reward: 10000 yuan.]

What?
Shen Yuan looked at his task with a puzzled expression.

A strange thought popped into his mind.

"Did I participate in the sports meet back in the day? And even win a medal?"

Is it really such a coincidence?

Before Shen Yuan could think too much, Li Zhi slapped the medal in his hand into Shen Yuan's hand: "Take this!"

After receiving the medal, Shen Yuan subconsciously looked up at Li Zhi.

Li Zhi said irritably, "Let's go eat."

Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly, and then the two went to the cafeteria.

The sports meet will have a lunch break and will resume at 1 p.m.

After finishing his project, Shen Yuan didn't go out and have fun. Instead, he spent the whole afternoon working on practice tests in the background.

Actually, whether backstage or in the stands, there are quite a few people with their heads down doing exercises or reading books.

The senior year of high school is the most noteworthy.

"Damn it, Lao Yuan, this is supposed to be a gaming forum, and you're here to do practice problems..."

Ah Jie muttered to himself, his face full of displeasure. He glared at Shen Yuan, his eyes seeming to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

However, just as A-Jie finished complaining, he glimpsed Shen Yuan taking a gold medal out of his pocket and placing it steadily on the table with a "thud".

Ah Jie immediately shut up.

As the game ended, his attention shifted back to Shen Yuan, and his mouth started chattering like a machine gun: "Tomorrow is the start of a long holiday, Shen Yuan, what are your plans?"

Upon hearing the words "extended holiday," Shen Yuan, who was engrossed in doing his homework, suddenly paused.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze naturally falling on Li Zhi beside him.

The beautiful girl felt Shen Yuan's gaze, turned her head to look at him, and in the instant their eyes met, she glared at Shen Yuan fiercely, as if warning him not to do anything reckless.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

He nodded slightly, then turned to A-Jie and said, "Practice coding problems, what else can we do? What about you, what are your plans?"

Ah Jie scratched his head and chuckled, "Me? I'll play games..."

Shen Yuan's smile vanished instantly. He stared at A-Jie with a serious expression, poked his head with his finger, and said with a look of exasperation:
"Damn it, what was your score on the English test?! How many words did you copy down? This whole holiday, I want to see you memorize 50 words!"

A-Jie was stunned by Shen Yuan's series of questions. His face instantly stiffened, and the game he was having so much fun with suddenly became boring.

“I…” A-Jie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Shen Yuan’s stern rebuke.

"Do you still want to be an English expert?!" Shen Yuan stared at A-Jie with wide eyes, as if he was very disappointed in his performance.

A-Jie was startled by Shen Yuan's reprimand, but he quickly recovered and shouted back, "I want to be an English expert!"

His voice was firm and powerful, revealing his desire to become an English expert.

"Then go copy the words!!" Shen Yuan ordered without any mercy, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.

Ah Jie nodded.

After seeing A-Jie off, Shen Yuan refocused his attention on the exam paper.

He picked up his pen, ready to continue working on the problems.

However, as he wrote, his thoughts gradually drifted elsewhere.

It's a long holiday, isn't it? Li Zhi said back then that the bet he would fulfill would be during the long holiday.

"Honey, what are we going to do on this long holiday?" Shen Yuan suddenly leaned close to Li Zhi and asked with a curious look.

"show off."

Li Zhi chuckled: "If you keep showing off, I'll change my mind."

"Hey hey hey!" Shen Yuan warned with a husky-like gesture: "Are you cheating?!"

“I’m a girl, so what if I cheat?” Li Zhi raised her chin, revealing a smug expression.

"What you need most right now is to uninstall Xiaohongshu!" Shen Yuan said in a serious tone.

"Hehehe, no way!" Li Zhi shook his head playfully, his ponytail swaying from side to side with his movements, seemingly not taking Shen Yuan's words to heart at all.

The second day of the sports meet passed quickly.

After evening self-study, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi went home.

"Let's have a serious discussion." Shen Yuan said as he walked along the road, putting on a protective shield before speaking.

"Speak," the beautiful girl's voice came from ahead.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and continued, "Tomorrow's Xi Shi Tofu will be dinner."

Li Zhi thought for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, that's all for dinner."

Shen Yuan turned to look at Li Zhi, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes: "So, shall we come to your house, or mine?"

Upon hearing this question, Li Zhi frowned slightly, seemingly troubled.

After all, this bet is probably not easy to keep when the parents are home.

Both of them remained silent for a while, neither knowing how to explain the situation to their parents.

"Why don't we just say you lost the bet to me? It's just a matter of cooking a meal anyway," Shen Yuan broke the silence, proposing a seemingly simple solution.

However, Li Zhi rejected his suggestion without hesitation: "No way! I'm not admitting defeat to you!"

"Then what should we do?" Shen Yuan asked helplessly.

Li Zhi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively asked, "Why don't you choose another one?"

Shen Yuan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll go back and think about it. If it really doesn't work, I'll kick my parents out."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi's lips twitched involuntarily.

What a harmonious family!

However, this problem that had been giving the two of them a slight headache was solved in a completely unexpected way.

On the morning of the third day of the sports meet, a phone call came to Li Zhi.

After finishing the call, Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with a strange expression.

Shen Yuan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The pretty girl's lips twitched, and she said, "My parents went to my maternal grandfather's house and won't be back tonight. They want me to come to your house for dinner."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing this, Li Zhi kicked him directly: "Are you fucking happy now?!"

"No, no, no, I can actually cook too."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey, what do you think, should we cook dinner together?"

Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan: "Dream on! Dinner is just Xi Shi Tofu! You'll have to treat me to a midnight snack later!"

Shen Yuan clicked his tongue: "That's fine too."
