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

Chapter 157 made Li Bao cry.
The room was enveloped in a thick, inky darkness, with only a few slivers of pale blue moonlight seeping through the gaps around the curtains.

The rustling sound of fabric suddenly broke the silence. Shen Yuan propped himself up on his elbows from the carpet, with fine fibers clinging to his slightly disheveled hair.

Li Zhi knew that Shen Yuan had gotten up from the carpet.

"Huh? What's this?"

Shen Yuan's fingertips suddenly touched some kind of soft fabric.

"Ok?"

Just as Li Zhi's questioning voice rang out, he heard Shen Yuan patting the doll.

Li Zhi recognized the voice quite well, since she often kicked it.

Why did you leave the doll here?

"It's easy to kick."

The light, casual reply made Shen Yuan stop abruptly.

He turned his head toward the source of the sound and vaguely saw the silhouette swaying slightly in the shadows, like a feline that had retracted its claws.

The sound of his Adam's apple bobbing was clearly audible. Shen Yuan's hand, gripping the doll, suddenly tightened, and cotton wadding leaked out from the seams.

"Shouldn't you..."

Li knew exactly what Shen Yuan wanted to say.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I kicked."

Shen Yuan pursed his lips: "Then you really went for it."

The last syllable of "down there" still trembled in the darkness when a light, gentle touch came from my calf.

Li Zhi's voice, tinged with feigned impatience, drifted from the shadows: "What's wrong? Only you could make me angry. Can't I just kick you a couple of times to vent my anger?"

Shen Yuan curled up his kicked leg, a muffled laugh escaping his throat, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the cotton wool on the doll: "Fine, fine, fine."

After saying that, he suddenly leaned forward: "Next time you want to kick me, just tell me, and I'll come and get kicked myself."

Judging from that voice, there seems to be a sense of anticipation.

The sound of rustling fabric came from the shadows, and Li Zhi let out a cold snort:
"Hmph! Dream on!"

Before the last note had even faded, there was the rustling sound of stockings brushing against the carpet, like the final, alluring scratch of a feline before it retracts its claws.

Before Li Zhi could retract his leg, Shen Yuan's palm, still warm from the cotton wadding, pressed down through the darkness.

When the five fingers are closed, they perfectly circle the most delicate arc of the arch of the foot, and the silk fabric, as thin as a cicada's wing, rubs against the web of his thumb.

The sudden change startled Li Zhi.

In a panic, the girl instinctively tensed her toes and kicked him in the chest.

Shen Yuan didn't use much force, but Li Zhi kicked Shen Yuan in the chest. However, the force of his foot was pushed back by Shen Yuan as it reached Shen Yuan's chest.

The girl's pearly, round toes sank into the hollow of her chest muscles through the thin fabric.

"Are you in such a hurry to get it stamped?"

His warm breath seeped into her instep through her stockings, startling Li Zhi so much that her toes curled up like frightened shellfish. Yet her soles remained trapped in his burning palm lines, her predicament leaving her unable to move forward or backward, which made the tips of her ears turn coral-colored.

"release."

Li Zhi lowered her voice, the coral color spreading from the tips of her ears to her neck.

Shen Yuan suddenly pressed his thumb onto the sole of her foot, precisely grinding it across the sensitive acupoints through the thin silk, startling her so much that her voice trembled.

"Ouch! It itches!"

As if sensing the tension in his chest and toes, Shen Yuan's muffled laughter vibrated in his chest cavity, and the vibration traveled up to Li Zhi's spine.

Shen Yuan's voice rang out in the darkness.

"I'll give you two choices: let go now and hold it with the other hand."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan deliberately slowed down his strength, his fingertips gently rubbing the soles of his feet.

The slight itching sensation made the girl grip the hem of her skirt tightly again.

Before Li Zhi could make a decision, Shen Yuan's voice rang out again.

"Or……"

In the darkness, the warmth of his palm gradually engulfed the arch of her foot, powerfully pulling her toes against his collarbone, her toes touching her throat.

Do you prefer me holding you like this?

Li Zhineng could clearly feel the rise and fall of the throat cavity with each swallow.

In the darkness, Shen Yuan measured her arch inch by inch with the lines of his palm, and the sensation of the stockings rubbing against her skin was amplified infinitely in the silence.

She tried to curl her pearly toes, but instead, her toes were pressed down and sank into the hollow of the other person's collarbone.

The back of her feet was soaked by his warm breath, and even biting her lower lip, she couldn't stop the trembling sound in her throat.

Shen Yuan's voice rang out again in the darkness.

"If I choose to shake hands—"

Suddenly, Shen Yuan released his hand, his palm hovering half an inch above the instep.

"You can escape now."

The girl's breath caught in her throat, and a blush instantly spread across her cheeks.

Li Zhi suddenly raised his foot to kick, but it landed squarely on Shen Yuan's open palm, which he had planned to use.

"Looks like I'll choose to shake hands."

When Shen Yuan's chuckled voice rang out in the darkness, Li Zhi also rebuked him.

"Pervert! Who, who asked you to hold my hand!"

Li Zhi tried to pull his foot back, but Shen Yuan held his ankle firmly and he couldn't move.

"Didn't you put your foot in my hand yourself?"

"Who, who put their foot in your hand!"

Li Zhi hurriedly denied it, saying, "I wanted to kick you!"

"The kicks were so soft and weak, like she was just being coquettish."

Just as Shen Yuan finished speaking, a muffled sound came from the darkness.

The next second, a soft cushion hit him directly on the head.

"Pervert! Seran! Who the hell was being affectionate?! You damn pervert!"

The pillows kept falling on Shen Yuan's head, the popping sounds of the cotton filling bursting out were filled with trembling anger.

"Foot fetishist! You idiot Shen Yuan! You disgusting pervert!"

Coral hues had already crept up her collarbone and reached the corners of her eyes. Li Zhi wildly swung a pillow, striking Shen Yuan in the darkness.

"You only know how to bully me! You only know how to bully me! You only know how to bully me!"

In the darkness, just as the soft pillow, accompanied by a strong gust of wind, slammed into Shen Yuan's head, his left hand, hanging by his side, quietly climbed onto the girl's dangling right foot.

The warm fingertips were precisely placed on the itchy spot on the sole of the foot, causing the curled-up toes to spring open like shells.

"Haa... Shen Yuan!"

Li Zhi's scolding was abruptly cut off by a ticklish sensation, and the silk skirt rustled and trembled with her body.

Shen Yuan's fingertips traced the sole of the sock, the calluses leaving a lingering itch on the smooth skin.

Li Zhi's coral-colored arches stretched into a panicked arc in the darkness, and the wrinkled stockings at her knees shimmered with light as she struggled.

When Shen Yuan's fingertips rubbed against the most sensitive acupoint on the sole of the sock, the girl suddenly fell backward onto the messy bed, her silvery gasps and the rustling of the sheets exploding at the same time.

Her left leg, suspended in mid-air, suddenly kicked at Shen Yuan's arm, her pearly toes catching the moonlight, her black dress billowing like an undercurrent with the movement.

"No...it tickles!"

The scolding was shattered by a new wave of itching. Li Zhi's right leg was still trapped in the other person's palm, and his taut ankle was sweating from the grip.

The darkness amplified the five senses, and Shen Yuan could clearly perceive that Li Zhi was struggling incessantly.

You could feel it just from the toe kicking you.

Shen Yuan's thumb suddenly pressed into the most sensitive hollow of her sole, swirling and grinding against her soft skin.

Li Zhi's right leg trembled violently in rhythm with the movement of his knuckles as he struggled.

"Tear--"

A sound like silk fabric tearing rang out, followed by a faint sob from the darkness.

"Waaah... Shen Yuan, no..."

Li Zhi futilely clutched at the crumpled silk sheet beneath him, his toes fluttering like the wings of a dying butterfly.

Shen Yuan felt the soft skin on his fingertips; the stockings were no longer covering him there.

For a moment, Shen Yuan froze on the spot.

As the itching sensation disappeared, Li Zhi's taut waist collapsed heavily.

The girl's bitten lips blushed crimson, and the tears that had been building up in her eyes finally rolled down her temples, spreading out spots on the sheets.

"You, you just have to bully me."

A sob broke her angry curses into gasps: "Can't you just let me have my way..."

Shen Yuan released Li Zhi's ankle, and the sound of fabric rustling came from the darkness.

In the darkness, her slender silhouette gradually shrank, and Li Zhi's sobs trembled slightly in the darkness, tightening around Shen Yuan's heart like a spider's web.

Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed several times, and when he hurriedly propped himself up, his knees hit the edge of the bed with a dull thud.

He groped his way toward the bed, and just as his fingertips were about to touch Li Zhi's shoulder, Li Zhi's voice rang out in the darkness.

"Get...out." Li Zhi's choked voice pierced the darkness.

Shen Yuan's fingers, which were hanging on the bed sheet, suddenly clenched. He opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was choked with cotton wool: "I..."

"What's wrong? Are you still going to continue the bet?"

Li Zhi remained curled up on the bed, angrily saying, "It's been so long! Even if I made you eat two wasabi bombs, it's time we evened things out!" Shen Yuan pursed his lips and murmured, "Then...then I'll go to the study and wait for you?"

"you!"

Li Zhi's angry voice rang out in the darkness.

"Then, then I'll go back?"

"You think you can just run away after bullying someone, huh? You little bastard! Go wait in the living room!"

Li Zhina's voice, sharp as a rose thorn, rang out: "Turn on the lights for me when you leave."

"Oh, oh!"

Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

As his fingers touched the cold metal doorknob, Shen Yuan looked back at the darkness that had swallowed the girl.

"I turned on the light."

After saying that, Shen Yuan turned around and turned on the light in Li Zhi's room.

As the light came on, Li Zhi suddenly buried her flushed face in the messy bedding in the brightly lit room.

After a while, the girl peeked out from under her arms to make sure the door was closed, and finally loosened her clenched fingers, which had turned white.

Her lips, marked with bite marks, glistened with moisture, and the crimson at the corners of her eyes clearly showed traces of tears from laughter.

Why are you crying...

Li Zhi was laughing so hard he cried because Shen Yuan was tickling him.

However, Li Zhi was genuinely frightened when the stockings ripped, which is why she reacted in that way.

Li Zhi propped himself up in bed, his gaze involuntarily falling on the bed.

The messy bed looked like a battlefield; the sheets that were once neatly folded were torn to shreds, and the pillows and blankets were all out of place.

When the tiny damp stains spreading on the messy sheets came into view, Li Zhi suddenly pressed her burning cheek against the cool silk pillowcase.

Of course, Li Zhi himself wasn't much better off.

Her once neatly combed long hair was now disheveled, and the stick-up tufts of hair trembled slightly with her body, as if they were invisible cat ears standing up for their owner, expressing a silent protest.

As her gaze moved downwards, Li Zhi immediately noticed the hole in the stocking on her right foot.

The beautiful girl immediately frowned.

"Shen Yuan, you idiot!"

Li Zhi immediately wanted to take out his phone to take a picture and show it to Shen Yuan, so that he could see what he had done.

As soon as Li Zhi found her phone on the bed, she regretted it.

Slapping his feet in front of Shen Yuan was clearly a way to please that guy!
But... throwing ripped stockings in Shen Yuan's face...

It seems even worse now.

"No way! We have to show this idiot what he's done!"

Li Zhi suddenly thought of a solution: why not just wear it out like that, since it's already torn anyway?

"No! Absolutely not!"

The beautiful girl sat on the bed and rejected her own suggestion.

"Oh well, forget it, a pair of stockings is torn, so what? Let's change our clothes first."

Thinking of this, Li Zhi got up from the bed.

Then, a burning sensation shot up his spine, turning Li Zhi's face crimson.

"Shen Yuan!! You idiot!!"

Shen Yuan, who was calming himself down in the living room, immediately turned to look in the direction of the bedroom after hearing the curse.

"Ok?"

Shen Yuan blinked, not noticing anything unusual, and only thought that Li Zhi was scolding him because of what had happened before.

Sitting on the edge of the living room sofa, his interlaced knuckles pressed against his burning forehead.

Shen Yuan unconsciously clenched his fist, where the girl's panicked pulse seemed to still be imprinted.

He remembered the slight itch of his toes sinking into his chest muscles through his school uniform in the darkness, and how each time his pearly toes curled, it seemed to leave invisible teeth marks on his collarbone.

The sensation of the stockings, as soft as cicada wings, surged back through my memory, and as my Adam's apple bobbed heavily, a phantom pain suddenly shot through my knee.

Shen Yuan then thought of Li Zhi's words when he told him to leave.

As he exhaled a heavy breath, Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

Li Zhi lingered in the bedroom for more than half an hour before finally coming out again.

The bedroom door hinges made a slight creaking sound.

Li Zhi, with her eyelids lowered, quickly passed the sofa. Her light gray cotton sweatshirt swayed slightly at her waist with each hurried step, and her loose trousers barely brushed against her reddened ankles.

Shen Yuan subconsciously sniffed, the rose-scented bath fragrance mingling with the scent of the girl's outer garment and blending into the air.

As I looked up, I saw a drop of water roll down her temple, leaving a dark stain on her sweatshirt.

"Come with me!"

Li Zhi's eyes, moistened by moisture, shimmered with an amber glow under the lamplight, but her voice was deliberately taut like an icicle at the end.

As Shen Yuan stood up, he noticed that the fine hairs on the back of her neck were stuck together by moisture and trembled slightly on her warm white skin with each breath, like a freshly steamed glutinous rice ball, still steaming with misty heat.

Shen Yuan swallowed unconsciously and blurted out, "You took a shower?"

The figure in front froze instantly, the fingertips gripping the doorknob turning pale from the force: "I was just touched by a dog!"

Li Zhi practically spat out those words through gritted teeth, but her earlobes suddenly flushed a deep, sunset-like red.

She slammed the study door open and then stepped into the study first.

The pretty girl plopped down on the sofa, then turned her gaze to Shen Yuan, who was standing at the door.

"I..." Shen Yuan opened his mouth to defend himself, but his words were cut off before they could form.

Li Zhixian pointed a sharp finger at the person in front of her, her almond-shaped eyes wide open as if they were about to burst into sparks, her coral-colored hair spreading from the tips of her ears all the way to the nape of her neck: "What do you mean, 'you'!"

A clear, cold voice, tinged with exasperation and a trembling tone, pierced the air, while her pajamas shimmered with each stomp of her foot.

"Thran! Pervert! Foot fetishist!"

The three accusations came with the sound of a small doll cutting through the air. Two stray hairs sticking up from the girl's messy hair swayed in the violent movement, like the ears of a cat with its fur standing up.

Shen Yuan tilted his head to dodge the flying cotton cannonball, pursed his lips, and said, "You clearly offered your foot to me yourself."

"I! Said!" Li Zhi gritted her teeth, each syllable clenched, clutching the newly retrieved doll, her knuckles white. "I wanted to kick you!"

"How was I supposed to know? I thought you didn't want to shake hands," Shen Yuan said with an innocent expression.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he said incredulously, "Huh?"

The girl's knuckles, gripping the cushion, left five dents in the fabric, and the coral color spread like wildfire from her neck to the tips of her ears. "You mean—"

Every word she uttered was like a silver fork scraping against glass: "Is this my fault?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "You bear some responsibility."

Before Li Zhi's gaze turned dangerous, Shen Yuan quickly said, "But the main responsibility lies with me."

"Hmph!" Li Zhi exhaled through his nose, the scent of rose shampoo lingering in his breath. "That's more like it!"

After saying that, Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan, biting her lip and muttering, "You went too far today!"

Shen Yuan nodded: "Yes, it was my fault."

As he spoke, he suddenly knelt on one knee on the cashmere carpet, his gaze level with the beautiful girl's, and tentatively asked, "Just now, did you really cry?"

"Cried!"

Li Zhi snorted heavily: "Tell your mother later that you made me cry!"

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan laughed instead, his low chuckle spreading through the study like melting maple syrup.

Clearly, Li Bao wasn't actually crying.

"why are you laughing!"

Li Zhi was so angry that she wanted to kick Shen Yuan again, but when she thought of the scene just now, she was afraid that Shen Yuan would grab her feet and tickle her again.

She's very ticklish.

Shen Yuan shook his head: "I didn't laugh."

Even so, Shen Yuan's lips and eyes were full of smiles.

Li Zhi gently rubbed her lips with her teeth, her eyes filled with shame and anger.

I can't take it anymore!
Li Zhi's teeth crushed her lower lip, leaving a rouge stain, and she kicked Shen Yuan in the chest, knocking him down onto the carpet.

Seeing Shen Yuan's expression, Li Zhi burst out laughing.

"Hmph! Serves you right for laughing at me!"

Before Li Zhi could finish speaking, Shen Yuan flipped over and precisely grabbed her ankle.

The moment the burning sensation reached his ankle, Li Zhi exclaimed in surprise.

The bare feet, without socks, were stretched into an exquisite arch between Shen Yuan's toes.

Shen Yuan looked at the archway in his hand, which gleamed like mutton fat jade, and swallowed silently.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to continue holding onto the bare foot, Li Zhi's voice reached his ears.

"No, no!"

Li Zhi hurriedly said, "The bet... the bet is over!"

Shen Yuan looked up at the beautiful girl's nervous expression and spoke.

"Handshake, or foot shake?"
