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

Chapter 160 is dedicated to Li Zhi's outstanding contribution to encouraging Shen Yuan's progress!
Time passed quietly.

By 11 o'clock, Shen Yuan had not finished his homework.

He should take a rest.

Looking at the remaining half of the test paper in front of him, Shen Yuan slowly shifted his gaze from the test paper to Li Zhi, who was still diligently working on the test paper next to him.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "When are your aunt and uncle coming back?"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's question, Li Zhi stopped writing, looked up at him, and then gently shook her head, replying, "I don't know, they went to see my grandfather."

"Your maternal grandfather?" Shen Yuan frowned. "What's wrong?"

Li Zhi pursed her lips, but still said in a low voice, "I'm getting old, and my health isn't very good."

Seeing this, Shen Yuan decided not to press the matter further and changed the subject.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Yuan said to Li Zhi, "Then come to my house for lunch later. I'll call my mom now to let her know."

Li Zhi nodded: "Okay."

Shen Yuan immediately took out his phone and dialed his mother's number. Zhang Yuyan's voice came through the phone very quickly.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Mom, Li Zhi is coming to our house for lunch."

"Huh? You brat, why didn't you say so earlier? What time is it now?" Zhang Yuyan's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, clearly showing some dissatisfaction.

Shen Yuan quickly moved his phone a little further away to avoid being shocked by his mother's loud voice.

He explained helplessly, "I was doing my homework, and I only remembered to tell you this now. It's okay, I'll just cook another vegetable."

"I've already cooked the rice!"

Zhang Yuyan complained, "Fine, you should eat less."

After saying that, Zhang Yuyan hung up the phone.

Shen Yuan:?
Zhang Yuyan, I am no longer your child, am I?
Shen Yuan shook his head helplessly and turned to Li Zhi, saying, "Alright, we can go eat later."

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he put down his phone and stretched: "I'm so tired, Li Bao, are you tired too?"

Li Zhi unconsciously rubbed the back of her neck: "It's okay, just my shoulders and neck are a little sore."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly fell over Li Zhi's eyes.

Shen Yuan leaned down, his hands resting on the back of her chair, his Adam's apple almost touching the top of her head: "I can give you a massage, I'm a great masseur."

The pen tip left ink dots on the paper. Li Zhi leaned forward to avoid Shen Yuan's body heat, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"Hey! You're ungrateful for my kindness." Shen Yuan leaned back in his chair and said casually, "If you won't let me massage you, can you at least give me a massage?"

"You're ugly, dreaming! You think you can get me to massage you?"

Shen Yuan stroked his chin and brought his face close to her ear: "I'm not too ugly, am I? When I was little, Grandpa Wang at the village entrance said I looked like Takeshi Kaneshiro."

"Then you are truly relegated to the position of a military officer in Jiyang, amidst piles of exam papers."

Her gaze transformed into a measuring tape, tracing from the top of the boy's frizzy head to the tanned nape of his neck, finally settling on his lazy, languid smile.

The girl reached out and grabbed his loose collar to straighten it: "Give Mr. Fenwu a free service, your collar is crooked more than the crooked tree at the entrance of the village."

Shen Yuan immediately straightened his back, his fingertips casually fiddling with the wrinkled fabric around his Adam's apple: "Weren't you blown away by his handsomeness?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi's pen immediately tapped Shen Yuan's hand: "Want to hear the truth?"

Her raised eyebrows and sidelong glance cast butterfly-wing shadows on her porcelain-white cheeks from her eyelashes.

Shen Yuan nodded.

"No." Li Zhi's fingertips, which were supporting her chin, pressed a shallow dimple into her cheek.
"Then you might as well lie."

As Shen Yuan finished speaking, Li Zhi turned to face the table, and the plastic cap of the ballpoint pen suddenly tapped crisply against the wooden table.

"Give me a massage."

The fine downy hair at the back of the girl's neck shimmered with a fuzzy golden edge in the backlight, like the downy feathers of a fledgling bird.

Shen Yuan's fingertips, which were pressed against the back of the chair, suddenly curled up.

He could clearly hear the faint gurgling sound of his Adam's apple moving.

Looking at the girl's slender neck, Shen Yuan subconsciously held his breath.

"Don't let me regret it."

When Li Zhi's voice rang out, Shen Yuan immediately snapped out of his daze.

"I'm making preparations."

Li Zhi chuckled, his gaze falling on the image projected onto the screen in front of him.

However, the truth was not revealed.

Shen Yuan's warm palm hovered three inches above the girl's tense shoulders and neck. Just before he was about to put it down, Shen Yuan slowly took a breath and then slowly exhaled.

"The first move of Shen's Massage, I haven't thought of a name yet."

With a mischievous laugh at the end of the song, he restrained himself and used only the pads of his fingers to apply pressure, gently rubbing outwards in a spiral motion along the Jianjing acupoint.

He noticed a slight tremor in the shoulder blade beneath his palm and asked softly, "Is it too heavy? If you apply too much force, let me know."

"Hmm." The girl made a soft, moderate sound.

The scapula trembled slightly with the pressure of the boy's fingertips. The warm touch penetrated the single layer of cotton fabric in autumn. The spiral kneading precisely stimulated the Jianjing acupoint. The process of the soreness being replaced by numbness was like carbon dioxide bubbles bursting between the bones.

The girl's brows furrowed slightly, and her tense legs curled up under the table.

Li Zhi had to try to distract himself in order to suppress the sigh that was about to escape his throat.

However, Shen Yuan's force was too precise, and every time he could find the part of her neck and shoulders that was comfortable, and sighs would always escape from his throat from time to time.

"Comfortable?"

Li Zhi nodded.

As Shen Yuan precisely kneaded and pressed, Li Zhi's shoulder and neck lines gradually melted and relaxed, like ice in early spring.

The ink stains left on the manuscript paper by the pen tip had long since dried. Under the pressure of Shen Yuan's hands, Li Zhi lay comfortably in the chair, looking like a cat melted by the spring sun.

The taut spine finally relaxed, no longer like a fully drawn bow, and slumped into the chair back, the chair legs rubbing against the floor tiles with a lazy creak.

"All right."

"Woo——"

The girl made a comfortable sound.

As Shen Yuan removed his hands, Li Zhi stretched out his arms, his long legs taut and straight.

When wearing long pants that are stretched out, slender ankles that have been curled up for a long time are revealed.

The ten toes that were originally curled up inside the cotton shoes are now twitching slightly in the sunlight through the white socks, like the prelude to a butterfly tentatively flapping its wings after emerging from its cocoon.

"Comfortable."

Li Zhi breathed a satisfied sigh of relief, then turned his head and smiled at Shen Yuan, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Shen Yuan, your massage technique is quite good!"

Shen Yuan smiled slightly: "Of course, you don't even know who I am."

Li Zhi replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, yes, Takeshi Kaneshiro and the Yang branch."

"Hehe." Shen Yuan's laughter revealed a hint of shyness.

As he was laughing, Shen Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something. He put his hands back on the back of Li Zhi's chair, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a hint of expectation, "Then, could you give me a massage too?"

Li Zhi seemed to have anticipated this question.

She drew out the last syllable, letting out a low growl like a small animal that had been tricked.

"Roar!"

At the same time, the girl's fingertips quickly pressed against Shen Yuan's chest, pushing him back to a safe distance.

"So you were waiting for me here!" Li Zhi said with a hint of reproach. "I knew you wouldn't be so kind!"

Shen Yuan scratched his head and explained, "Oh, well, I'm quite sore too..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi interrupted him rudely: "If your shoulders are sore, use Miao..."

"Hold on! There are no advertising fees involved here!"

Li Zhi shrugged and said with a smile, "Alright then, I won't say anything more."

"correct."

Shen Yuan suddenly seemed to remember something, reached into his pocket and rummaged around for a while before pulling out the gold medal.

Upon seeing this, Li Zhi's face showed a hint of doubt.

The pretty girl looked at the gold medal in Shen Yuan's hand and asked in confusion, "Why are you holding this? It's just that you got first place once, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

However, Shen Yuan slowly shook his head, his gaze falling on Li Zhi, and said softly, "I want to give this to you."

Li Zhi was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.

She looked at Shen Yuan with some surprise, clearly taken aback by his action.

"Give it to me? Why?" Li Zhi asked, puzzled.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly and explained, "Because this is the first time I've ever won first place."

The boy's gaze fell on the gold medal: "Besides, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to win first place."

“Besides,” Shen Yuan looked into Li Zhi’s eyes and said seriously, “if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to score above 650 points now.”

"Therefore, I feel it is necessary for me to give you this medal in recognition of Li Zhi's outstanding contribution to encouraging Shen Yuan's progress!"

As Shen Yuan finished speaking, Li Zhi couldn't help but think of what Shen Yuan had said backstage on the day of the sports meet.

I want to be the first to rush to you.

The girl's earlobes were slightly red.

The thought of Shen Yuan running off to Zhejiang University because of something I said, and even saying something crazy like he wanted to pass the exam, makes me think of how he felt.

Li Zhi stared blankly at the gold medal lying in Shen Yuan's palm.

The "First Prize" relief on the metal surface was plated with a layer of gold, almost burning a mark on her retina.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly and rapidly, and she gently bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth.

"You really want to give it to me?"

the girl asked softly.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Of course I'll give it to you. What belongs to Shen Yuan belongs to Li Zhi."

"Pooh!"

Li Zhi spat lightly at Shen Yuan.

The girl lowered her gaze to the gold medal lying in the boy's palm, its surface slightly reflecting light. In the backlight, one could see the coral hue emanating from her porcelain-white earlobes gradually spreading to the side of her neck. Li Zhi raised his hand, his fingertips hovering in mid-air for three seconds before finally bringing his slender fingers down.

When the girl's neatly trimmed nails unconsciously brushed against Shen Yuan's palm lines, their heartbeats seemed to synchronize.

Li Zhi gently picked up the medal and tentatively asked again, "Did I really take it?"

Although her expression was full of probing, the joy deep in the girl's eyes betrayed her true emotions.

Before Shen Yuan could speak, the girl had already quickly hidden the medal in the pocket of her pajamas, the fabric of the pocket instantly drooping with a stubborn curve.

"It's a deal, this is mine! If your grades drop later, I'll give it back to you!"

After saying that, Li Zhi turned around and left.

However, the turn was too large, and he almost knocked over the water glass on the corner of the table.

In the fleeting moment of frantically steadying the cup, a blush spread from the tip of her ear to the back of her neck.

【mission completed! 】

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

Just give it a makeover, the sand coin system doesn't say how to make it makeover.

Language-based packaging is also a form of packaging.

Shen Yuan quickly forgot about the system and his gaze naturally fell on Li Zhi's seemingly calm back.

After receiving the medal, Shen Yuan no longer mentioned the massage.

"Stop writing, take a break first, we'll talk about it after dinner."

"Know it."

Li Zhi stood up and walked out of the study: "I'm going to change my clothes. Wait for me in the living room. I'll be there in a bit. I'll also go see the cat."

"Ah."

Shen Yuan nodded.

Inside the bedroom, Li Zhi took the medal out of his pocket.

Under the light of the ceiling light in the room, the beautiful girl looked at the medal in her hand from side to side, a satisfied look on her face.

"That idiot Shen Yuan is quite good at flirting. I almost fell for him."

Li Zhi sat at his desk and skillfully opened the bottom left drawer.

Just as he was about to put the medal in the drawer, Li Zhi frowned slightly.

"Is it really appropriate to put it here?"

Li Zhi blinked, then opened the third, second-to-last drawer and put the medal inside.

After closing the drawer, Li Zhi suddenly noticed the two train tickets placed in the bottom drawer.

"Well--"

Li Zhi reached out and picked up the ticket, a sweet smile spreading across her face.

Where should we put this?

While thinking, Li Zhi's gaze fell on the third drawer, but soon his gaze moved upwards again.

"Just leave it here."

Li Zhi opened the first drawer on the left and solemnly placed the train ticket inside.

Next to the two train tickets was a graduation photo.

Class 19, Grade 9, Huansha Junior High School.

In the center of the photo, a boy is smiling brightly, while next to him is a girl with a blank expression.

Below the junior high school graduation photo, there is also an elementary school graduation photo.

Li Zhi closed the drawer, got up and went to the wardrobe, his fingertips brushing against the stacked clothes rack, making a soft tinkling sound.

The pretty girl is in a good mood today and wants to pick out a nice outfit to wear.

Li Zhi's gaze first swept over the hoodies hanging in the third row.

Sweatshirts hang in the closet, each fabric showing a different fluffiness depending on how many times it has been washed.

Li Zhi tapped the drawstring of the pink hoodie with her knuckles, then her gaze fell on the white skirt beside her.

But in fact, this skirt is actually an unusually large pair of wide-leg pants.

"It's you!"

Li Zhi took off her wide-leg pants and then took out a white cotton short-sleeved shirt.

Finally, Li Zhi reached out and picked up a purple-colored knitted sweater.

The combination of white and light purple has an indescribable gentleness.

Looking at herself in the mirror, the beautiful girl pursed her lips.

"It doesn't seem like they're going to lunch, it seems like they're going to meet someone's family..."

After giving his evaluation, Li Zhifei quickly changed into a sweatshirt and trousers.

However, after changing her clothes, Li Zhi did not put the three pieces of clothing back in the closet, but instead threw them all on the bed.

For Li Zhi, there was only one reason for doing so.

—She'll be wearing it again later.

As soon as Li Zhi stepped out of the room, he met Shen Yuan's gaze.

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi's clothes and asked in a puzzled tone, "Did you change?"

Li Zhi smiled and rubbed his upper and lower teeth together.

"If you miss, just keep talking."

Shen Yuan gave an awkward smile: "My mom just called, let's go over there."

"Ah."

Li Zhi nodded, and just as he was about to take a step, he saw Shen Yuan reach out his hand.

Li Zhifei quickly brought his hand to his chest: "Dream on! I can't let you hold my hand every day!"

Seeing that he had not succeeded, Shen Yuan did not continue.

Upon arriving home, Shen Yuan immediately smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air.

The next second, Shen Yuan's eyes lit up: "Wow, Mom, you made braised pork today?"

Upon hearing the words "braised pork," Li Zhi's eyes lit up as well.

Then, Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan walk towards the kitchen.

The boy leaned against the kitchen door frame and started acting cheeky towards his mother: "Mom, you didn't make braised pork just because Li Zhi came, did you?"

Zhang Yuyan turned to look at Shen Yuan and said coldly, "You are not allowed to eat braised pork."

"I was wrong, Mom, I was wrong."

Shen Yuan slid to his knees at lightning speed.

As someone who inherited his mother's braised pork recipe, Shen Yuan naturally knew how long Ms. Zhang Yuyan's braised pork needed to be cooked.

It takes an hour and a half to simmer over low heat.

Even with a pressure cooker, it's impossible to prepare this dish in half an hour.

And the key point is the ingredients.

You can't just conjure up a piece of pork belly out of thin air in your home.

After all the dishes were served, Shen Yuan quickly noticed his rice bowl, which only contained half a bowl of rice.

After glancing at Li Zhi's full bowl of rice, Shen Yuan looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.

“Your dad served the rice,” Zhang Yuyan said, pointing to Lao Shen.

"Your mother taught you that."

"Fine! Fine! It seems there's no place for me in this family anymore!"

Shen Yuan turned to Li Zhi and asked, "Can I sleep in your study?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "No."

"But then again..."

Zhang Yuyan snapped, "Shut up and eat!"

"okay."

Shen Yuan buried his head in his food, acting like a complete coward.

After dinner, Li Zhi went to spend some quality time with the kittens.

During this time, Li Zhi's parents called, so he must have returned home.

But Li Zhi wasn't in a hurry to go back, since there wasn't anything else to do right now.

My grandfather seemed to be doing alright on the phone.

Shen Yuan stood aside, watching Li Zhi hugging and sniffing the two kittens, and immediately felt extremely envious.

Damn it, why can't it be me?

Shen Yuan was initially confused as to why Li Zhi would only visit Sangeng and Naonao once every week or two, yet the two little ones remained very close to her.

Later I roughly understood.

Because I carry Li Zhi's scent, and it's quite strong.

While domesticated cats rely more on sound to determine how unfamiliar humans are, deaf cats like Nao Nao can only rely on scent.

Although Sangeng was timid, he was also clever enough to remember Li Zhi's scent.

Shen Yuan leaned back on the bed and watched Li Zhi sitting in a chair, teasing two kittens with a cat toy.

Listening to the beautiful girl's cheerful laughter, and Sangeng and Naonao running around the room.

Shen Yuan thought this was a good idea.

This is the life I've always wanted!
