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

Chapter 166 Can you be a little more mature like me?

After the long break ended, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi walked towards the teaching building with their class, surrounded by noisy footsteps and the laughter of their classmates.

Shen Yuan suddenly turned to Li Zhi with a relaxed smile and asked, "Hey, you still haven't told me if you're satisfied with my answer."

Li Zhi naturally knew what Shen Yuan was asking.

Although the sound was drowned out by the noise of morning exercises, it seemed to still linger in the morning breeze.

Li Zhi did not respond immediately.

She paused slightly, her long, jet-black hair cascading down like ripples of ink, obscuring the tips of her ears that were beginning to blush.

Li Zhi's gaze briefly fell on Shen Yuan's face, her almond-shaped eyes narrowing almost imperceptibly, as if startled, but she quickly looked away, her gaze fixed on the distant teaching building.

The beautiful girl pursed her lips slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips, her voice as soft as a whisper, almost drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Did I say I was going to answer you?

After saying that, Li Zhi quickened his pace imperceptibly. As his sleeves swayed slightly, their shoulders brushed against each other, creating a slight distance between them.

The girl's figure blended into the crowd ahead, but she did not disappear from Shen Yuan's sight.

Shen Yuan's gaze remained fixed on Li Zhi.

Like being pulled by invisible threads, it firmly locks onto Li Zhiyuan's departing figure.

His long, black hair fluttered gently in the morning breeze, and the detail of his sleeves swaying seemed to replay repeatedly in Shen Yuan's mind.

A smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yuan's face.

During the remaining two periods in the morning, Class 15 did not have a regular class; instead, they continued with an exam.

Looking at the chemistry test papers being passed down, Shen Yuan frowned deeply.

Now it's his turn to have a headache.

Sitting next to Shen Yuan, A-Jie seemed to notice Shen Yuan's distress. He turned around, looked at Shen Yuan's worried face, and said with a smile, "Yuan, he will come when he is supposed to."

Hearing A-Jie's words, Shen Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance and retorted, "Can you even pass an English test?"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Ah Jie was displeased: "How did you break through my defenses so easily?"

"Pah! It's not certain who will break through!" Shen Yuan retorted without backing down.

Just as the two were arguing back and forth, the chemistry teacher on the podium suddenly spoke up: "Do your own thing, and stop whispering to each other!"

Shen Yuan raised an international friendship gesture to A-Jie, and A-Jie returned the gesture to Shen Yuan in kind.

Shen Yuan's attention began to focus on the chemistry exam paper.

The test was not very difficult this time, and Shen Yuan felt that he did well as he solved the problems.

Apart from the last major question being rather troublesome, Shen Yuan's problem-solving speed did not slow down.

As soon as the bell rang, the classroom became lively. Students began handing in their papers, which were passed around like a relay race.

Shen Yuan's gaze swept past the seven seats in front of him and landed on Li Zhi.

Just then, Li Zhiye was looking at Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan nodded at Li Zhi, his meaning clear: they should go to the cafeteria together for lunch.

Li Zhi nodded, and then the two of them stood up together.

Just then, A-Jie's voice suddenly rang in Shen Yuan's ears: "Come on, come on! Lao Yuan, dinner's ready!"

However, before A-Jie could finish speaking, Zhuo Peipei's voice followed: "You idiot A-Jie, do you think Shen Yuan will go out to eat with you?"

Upon hearing Zhuo Peipei's words, A-Jie was visibly taken aback. He took a deep breath, seemingly wanting to refute, but ultimately exhaled.

He muttered to himself, "Damn, that makes so much sense."

Ah Jie turned his head to look at Shen Yuan, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He reached out and gently patted Shen Yuan's shoulder, sighing as he said, "Yuan, I understand, now this is all I can do for you."

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at A-Jie and said irritably, "What the hell are you making a fuss about over a meal? If you want to eat, come together! But let's make it clear beforehand, you're paying for your own meal!"

Ah Jie nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go! Let's eat!" A-Jie waved his hand, calling to Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu.

"Let's eat! I want fruit dishes!"

"Get out of here!"

Shen Yuan looked at this group of idiot kids and shook his head.

"That's so childish. Can't you guys be a little more mature like me?"

After Shen Yuangang finished reprimanding A Jie and the others, criticizing them for being childish, he himself displayed childish behavior before he even finished speaking.

Shen Yuan turned around and started walking towards Li Zhi. Instead of walking steadily, he moved forward with a light and almost bouncy gait.

Shen Yuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, his body bounced slightly, his steps were irregular like a primary school student, and he even exaggeratedly swayed his shoulders from time to time, sweeping away the pretentiousness of his previous accusation of others being childish.

"Li Bao, I'm here."

Ah Jie's lips twitched as he looked at Shen Yuan's retreating figure, utterly speechless.

Ah Jie turned to look at Yang Ze and the other man, pointing at Shen Yuan with one hand and laughing, "Damn it, you said we were childish, but you're even more childish than us."

After saying that, A-Jie imitated Shen Yuan's manner and hopped and skipped towards Shen Yuan.

"Yuanbao, I'm here!"

Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, followed A-Jie's lead and did the same thing.

"Yuanbao, I'm here!"

Soon, Shen Yuan's exasperated voice rang out in the classroom.

“Roll, roll, roll!”

Zhuo Peipei shook her head and pulled He Zhiyu to her side at the back door of the classroom.

The two women then caught up with the main group.

Although Shen Yuan and Li Zhi may not necessarily sprinkle candy later, the little sugar man will find candy to eat on his own.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi walked side by side on the way to the cafeteria.

What are we going to eat later?

Li Zhi shook his head: "I don't know, beef over rice?"

Upon hearing Li Zhi's choice, Shen Yuan rolled his eyes helplessly: "Can't you come up with something new? Let's try something else."

"Then you decide."

Shen Yuan didn't think for long before saying, "Let's eat. Let's split up and eat more."

"also."

Li Bao's requirements for food are simple: as long as it suits her taste.

I've been eating the cafeteria food for a long time now, so it's naturally to my liking.

Of course, the premise is that you don't have a sense of curiosity.

Shen Yuan stared wide-eyed at the strange orange-stewed pork ribs on Yang Ze's plate, his heart churning with turmoil, and for a moment he was completely at a loss for words to express his feelings.

In stark contrast to Shen Yuan, Yang Ze seemed full of confidence and enthusiasm for the dish.

When he noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on his plate, he was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he enthusiastically invited everyone to taste it together.

"Come on, have a taste!" Yang Ze's voice revealed excitement, as if this orange stewed pork ribs was his carefully crafted masterpiece.

Upon hearing Yang Ze's words, Li Zhi involuntarily stepped back slightly, a hint of undisguised resistance showing on her face.

Clearly, she had no interest in this seemingly strange combination.

No need, really no need.

The young girl has low standards when it comes to food, but she's not without limits.

However, as people often say, people always have a sense of curiosity.

Although Li Zhi was reluctant, Shen Yuan was the first to pick up his chopsticks at Yang Ze's enthusiastic invitation.

"I'll just try an orange..." Shen Yuan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to stop after taking a small bite.

However, Yang Ze clearly did not intend to let Shen Yuan escape so easily. Just as Shen Yuan picked up an orange, Yang Ze quickly picked up a piece of pork rib and handed it to Shen Yuan's bowl without hesitation.

"Hey! A real man should face the harsh realities of life head-on!" Yang Ze's tone was firm, as if encouraging Shen Yuan to bravely try this unique delicacy.

“No…” Shen Yuan looked at the ribs in the bowl and couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

Just then, Ah Jie picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks. His expression was full of righteousness, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Come on, bottoms up this rib!" A-Jie shouted boldly, as if this was not an ordinary rib, but a glass of strong liquor that needed to be drunk in one gulp.

"Come on! Let's finish this orange!" With Chen Mingyu's shout, he and Yang Ze simultaneously reached out with their chopsticks and quickly picked up the ribs and oranges from their bowls.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan's hesitation vanished instantly. Without hesitation, he picked up a piece of spare rib and shouted, "Come on! Finish this spare rib!"

Before the words were even finished, the four of them, as if by telepathy, simultaneously put the ribs and oranges in their hands into their mouths.

However, in the next second, their gazes locked onto each other's faces like lightning.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at each other's mouths, as if trying to see through those tightly closed lips to see if the other person had actually chewed.

"Eat!" A-Jie's voice suddenly broke the brief silence. Then, he started chewing himself.

At A-Jie's suggestion, Shen Yuan and the other two began chewing at the same time.

Then, all four of them revealed masks of pain on their faces.

"Damn it! This cafeteria is a piece of trash!" Chen Mingyu couldn't help but curse.

"Uh—what is this thing—" Yang Ze's voice was filled with disbelief and pain.

"I feel like my taste buds have been raped," A-Jie muttered in pain.

This feeling is truly indescribable.

While oranges can be slightly heated before eating, this absolutely does not mean they can be boiled.

When the fruit pulp is stewed for a long time, it will emit an unbearable bitter taste, which will then mix with the sweet and sour taste of the juice and the taste of the fruit itself...

That felt like I wanted to die.

"yue~"

After struggling to chew, Shen Yuan swallowed the food and then expressed his opinion.

"Yang Ze, you're a real troublemaker."

Chen Mingyu covered his eyes in pain: "Damn it, the cafeteria lady's hand wasn't even shaking! Such a big spoonful, don't you think there's something fishy about it?"

Yang Ze gave a wan smile: "I thought it was because Auntie loved me~"

"You eat it yourself. Don't waste it. I'll scold you if you do."

Yang Ze looked at A-Jie, wanting to ask for comfort, when he saw A-Jie leaning back in the cafeteria chair, looking like he had probably been gone for a while.

Yang Ze ultimately lacked the courage to face the remaining orange stewed pork ribs and could only let it go to waste.

Logically speaking, if Yang Ze were to throw away such a small amount of orange stewed with pork ribs, the student council member who was inspecting the case should have arrested him and deducted points from his record.

The problem is that when a plate of braised pork ribs with oranges appears in front of you, stopping it is an extremely risky thing to do.

About two years later, a student council member was also involved in this incident and had his mouth stuffed with fruit.

It's suffocating.

Although Jiyang Middle School is the best high school in Jiyang, who says that good grades will make you good-tempered?
Moreover, schools need to generate revenue. Some students with decent grades can get in by pulling strings and using connections.

Fights are also common.

It's normal to be impulsive during adolescence.

After finishing their meal, the group strolled leisurely out of the cafeteria. Sunlight shone on them, illuminating their relaxed figures.

He Zhiyu had a slight smile on her lips, and she suddenly winked at Zhuo Peipei.

Zhuo Peipei nodded knowingly, then took a deep breath.

The president spoke up, "Zhiyu, shall we go to the supermarket? I want to get some ice cream."

No sooner had the president finished speaking than Ah-Jie's voice rang out, before the plan could even be launched.

"Hmm? You're probably about to get your period, right, Peipei?"

Dead silence.

A strange silence fell over the entrance of Cafeteria No. 1.

Ah Jie had no idea that his offhand remark had made him the center of attention.

"Holy crap?" Yang Ze stared wide-eyed at A-Jie, his face full of disbelief, as if he had said something earth-shattering.

"No..." Zhuo Peipei was also a little surprised, and a blush rose on her face as she quickly explained.

The president stared at A-Jie with his mouth agape, stammering, "No, Zhou Shaojie, how... how did you know I was about to get my period?"

In that instant, A-Jie suddenly realized he might have said something wrong. He nervously looked at the stares from his classmates, his once fair face instantly turning bright red.

"Hey, no, listen to my excuses... no, listen to my explanation!" A-Jie said somewhat incoherently.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him turned to look at him with curiosity, including Li Zhi, who had been silent all along.

Ah-Jie took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then explained, "Kei-Pei and I were classmates for two years of high school. We were even deskmates in our junior year, and we were still deskmates in our senior year. After spending more than a year together, I... I'm not stupid!"

Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to understand something and exclaimed "Oh~~".

"No!" Ah Jie became even more anxious upon seeing this. "Let me explain! I really didn't have any other intentions!"

As he spoke, he hurriedly pointed at Shen Yuan and continued, "Him! Doesn't Lao Yuan also know..."

However, before A-Jie could finish speaking, Li Zhi glared at him fiercely, forcing him to swallow his words back.

Before A-Jie could even gather his thoughts, Shen Yuan retorted without backing down: "You've only been deskmates for a year, and I already know when Li Zhi..."

"Smack!" Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, he was suddenly struck on the head.
"What do you know?" the pretty girl asked in a low voice.

Shen Yuan held his head and said weakly, "I know... I know you take a shower, brush your teeth and wash your face before going to bed at night, and you also say goodnight to me."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, the young author's face immediately showed a look of astonishment.

what? !

Li Zhi and Shen Yuan chatted until they went to sleep after evening self-study.
Do you even tell me when you're taking a shower?
You might say, "Hey, doesn't this completely distort the meaning of both people?"
Don't worry about that, Little Sugar Man has his own way of enjoying sugar.

The next moment, Shen Yuan straightened up again.

"But that's not the problem at all! The problem lies with A-Jie!"

Seeing the criticism directed at him again, A-Jie tensed up once more.

You shut mouth! What were you just saying?!

Ah Jie couldn't help but look at Zhuo Peipei, only to see that the blush on the president's face had not yet faded.

A rosy-cheeked, sweet girl—wow, she's pretty kawaii!

bah bah bah!
What are you thinking about?
Ah Jie quickly explained, "As a gentleman of the new era, I believe that caring about female classmates is something we must do!"

"We cannot neglect mutual care among classmates because of our studies! I have always believed that our Class 15 is a loving class, unlike other classes that are cold and indifferent classes focused on grades!"

"Good! Well said!"

Yang Ze led the applause: "That was so touching!"

"Yes! It's so touching! It's a pity I'm not human now."

Chen Mingyu grabbed A-Jie by the collar and then dragged A-Jie away with Yang Ze.

"Damn it, today I, Chen Mingyu, will act on behalf of heaven and eliminate the pervert in our class!"

Shen Yuan blinked as he watched A-Jie being dragged away.

"Alas, the world is going to the dogs!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Yuan heard Li Zhi's voice: "You're not much better off."

"Huh? I'm being very serious, okay!"

"Heh." Li Zhi left with a mocking smile, then walked towards the school supermarket.

Looking at the direction Li Zhi was heading, Shen Yuan knew what she was going to do.

Shen Yuan glanced at Zhuo Peipei, who was still standing there in a daze, then at He Zhiyu, before turning and chasing after Li Zhi.

"Hey, can you treat me today?"

"Okay, then call me something nice."

"mom!"

"You fucking die!"

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, He Zhiyu's gaze involuntarily fell upon the president standing to the side.

"Pepe, they've gone far away."

Zhuo Peipei raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.

Looking at Zhuo Peipei's flushed face, the young author subconsciously asked, "Um, are you alright?"

Zhuo Peipei shook her head.

The president had begun to calm down by this point.

"That idiot Zhou Shaojie has something wrong with his brain. What kind of nonsense is he spouting?"

Zhuo Peipei quickly said, "He's targeting my period. I think he's planning to take advantage of my weakened state and lead the remnants of the Early Romance Prohibition Association to launch a surprise attack on my 'Dating Association'!"

He Zhiyu blinked, and hesitated before asking, "Then, is it possible that he likes you?"

Zhuo Peipei took a deep breath, then patted He Zhiyu on the shoulder and said, "Zhiyu, you're still young. Zhou Shaojie and I are dealing with a matter of principle!"

"Our 'Study Association' and the 'Early Romance Prohibition Association' are irreconcilable!"

The young author asked in confusion, "But didn't Zhou Shaojie already withdraw?"

"Hmph! He may be gone, but his heart remains. Who knows what that bastard is thinking? Besides, what he said was just what he should do! Zhiyu, do you know when my period is?"

"Around the 28th, today is the 25th."
