Chapter 179 Yes, I just like her.
The cool morning light shone through the curtains, illuminating Shen Yuan's room.

Shen Yuan, who had already finished washing up, was preparing to go to school.

Before leaving home, Shen Yuan turned to look at the two left-behind children at home.

"Stay home and be good, wait for Dad to come home tonight."

After saying that, Shen Yuan closed the bedroom door and then went to the front door of his house.

He pushed open the door, and as expected, a figure was already waiting for him in the hallway.

Li Zhi stood at the elevator door, her slender fingers unconsciously tugging at the strap of her backpack.

The girl leaned forward slightly, her gaze fixed on her toes, as if there were some attractive patterns on the ground.

The sound of Shen Yuan closing the door seemed to have startled her.

Li Zhi suddenly turned around, his movements slightly stiff.

The girl's gaze darted away the instant it met Shen Yuan's, landing on the wall beside him before returning to the elevator door.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to speak, a greeting broke the silence.

"Morning."

Li Zhi greeted Shen Yuan with a "Good morning" first.

Shen Yuan blinked, but subconsciously replied, "Um... good morning."

His voice was so flat that it had almost no inflection, lacking the lazy or teasing tone he used to have.

Brief, honest, and even a little awkwardly reserved.

After that greeting, the air fell silent once again.

Shen Yuan naturally walked to Li Zhi's side and took the schoolbag from her hand.

"Ding!"

The sound of the elevator arriving broke the silence.

"gone."

After Li Zhi finished speaking, he stepped into the elevator first.

Shen Yuan froze for a moment, then immediately took off to catch up.

The elevator slowly descended, and the two stood in the car without exchanging a single word.

One dared not reflect on why he had taken the initiative to break the silence, while the other was puzzled as to why he had given up all the thoughts that deserved a beating.

The silence that followed immediately made both of them realize that something was wrong.

But as soon as the elevator reached the first floor and the doors opened, all the strangeness vanished instantly.

Shen Yuan naturally reached out and gently grasped Li Zhi's hand.

When Li Zhi felt the warmth of Shen Yuan's palm, he slightly opened his fingers, allowing Shen Yuan's fingers to naturally pass between them.

Their fingers were intertwined, as if this was how it should be.

The awkwardness and silence between the two melted away quietly in this simple yet warm touch.

……

Campus life continues amidst the intense and rhythmic review sessions.

Perhaps because of the joint entrance examination, the homework assigned by teachers of all subjects has become increasingly heavy recently.

Shen Yuan felt like he was suffocating under the weight of the exam paper.

On Monday, 12 more test papers could be added to Shen Yuan's desk.

Looking at last weekend's weekly test paper and today's homework together makes me feel like I want to die.

Damn, there are advantages to being in a parallel class.

Shen Yuan heard from his former classmates in the same class that although they were under a lot of pressure, the quality of their knowledge had decreased by about one-third.

Fortunately, Shen Yuan still had a place to catch his breath.

The brief moments when Li Zhi and I held hands on our way to and from school each day were moments of mutual encouragement.

Actually, Shen Yuan originally had A-Jie, but unfortunately A-Jie is now at the other end of the classroom.

"Class Sorrow"

Without A-Jie's amusement, Shen Yuan had to draw spiritual nourishment from Li Bao to keep himself motivated.

As for how to absorb it so intensely, it's probably by completing daily tasks on Li Bao.

First of all, Shen Yuan does not consider himself a pervert.

He was simply looking for motivation to learn.

Moreover, Tongzi has been feeling down lately. He was also feeling down for a while after dealing with the memory fragments last time, and this time, having traced back so many time periods, his downtime may last even longer.

However, Shen Yuan was not in a hurry.

He deposited the money he received as a reward from the system into Yu'ebao (Alipay's money market fund).

Isn't a little bit of daily income a form of financial management?

Anyway, as long as you don't spend it, you're making a profit.

Of course, this money will be spent soon.

During Thursday's lunch break, Shen Yuan finally decided to have the kitten spayed/neutered at Jiyang Hospital.

"I scheduled Sangeng and Naonao's sterilization for Saturday afternoon at 4 pm. The surgery will probably be completed in the evening."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi, who was still working on her problem, paused slightly.

Li Zhi turned around, his face full of worry.

The pretty girl was still a little worried.

Shen Yuan raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder, reassuring her, "It's alright, don't worry. We should have done this, I've already prepared everything."

Li Zhi pursed her lips, and finally nodded.

"Okay, then, shall we go together?"

"Hmm, I'll ask your dad tonight if he's free on Saturday afternoon. If he is, he can just bring the cat to pick us up."

"Ok."

Just as Li Zhi finished speaking, the lunch break bell rang.

Before Shen Yuan could even stretch or do anything, he saw Yang Ze's figure leap up from his seat seven seats away.

Immediately afterwards, A-Jie also got up from his seat.

Shen Yuan originally thought the two were going to the toilet, but Yang Ze spoke up the moment he stepped out of the classroom.

"Lao Yuan! Ai Muyu! Save me! A-Jie is going to kill me!"

A question mark appeared above Shen Yuan's head.

What to do?

The body reacted before the brain could react; Shen Yuan quickly stood up and squeezed through the gap between the desks behind him.

At the same time, Chen Mingyu also crossed the seat.

Upon seeing this scene, A-Jie, who had just stepped out of his seat, immediately deflated.

"Damn it! You're asking people outside the arena, aren't you!"

Yang Ze snorted coldly, peeking out from behind Shen Yuan: "We were all originally part of the team."

Shen Yuan turned his head with some confusion, looked at Yang Ze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Ze glanced at Shen Yuan and Chen Mingyu, then said mysteriously, "This isn't the place to talk. Come with me!"

Shen Yuan and Chen Mingyu exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat curious, but they still followed Yang Ze out of the classroom and into the corridor.

Ah Jie stood at the back door of the classroom, quietly watching the three of them.

Yang Ze walked to the railing in the corridor, leaned against it, faced A-Jie, and revealed a smug smile on his face.

Shen Yuan was originally facing the railing, but when he saw A-Jie at the back door, he turned around like Yang Ze and leaned against the railing.

Only Chen Mingyu remained leaning on the railing, seemingly unconcerned about everything.

However, thinking about Ai Muyu's XP, Shen Yuan suddenly felt that Chen Mingyu's posture was not incomprehensible.

"Come, come," Yang Ze waved to Shen Yuan and Chen Mingyu, signaling them to come closer.

After the two got closer, Yang Ze lowered his voice and said, "Lao Yuan, didn't we previously speculate that A-Jie liked Zhuo Peipei?"

Shen Yuan nodded and replied, "Yeah, but A-Jie won't admit it, will he?"

“I think A-Jie is mostly just being stubborn,” Chen Mingyu said, and Yang Ze confirmed it.

"Yes, Ah Jie is just being stubborn!"

Yang Ze continued, "As you all probably know, didn't A-Jie have a secondary account that added the campus confession wall as a friend?"

Shen Yuan nodded; there was indeed such a thing.

"I used it to peek at romance novels, what's wrong? Did you find out?"

In fact, Ah-Jie never hid this matter from Zhuo Pei-Pei, as if it were part of a secret power struggle between the Early Love Prohibition Association and the Comedic Learning Association.

Yang Ze shook his head: "That's common knowledge. What I want to talk about is something I just discovered recently."

The moment Yang Ze finished speaking, A-Jie rushed in front of him and tried to cover his mouth.

However, two fists can't beat four hands, let alone six hands now.

Shen Yuan and the other two pinned A-Jie against the railing.

Yang Ze, while restraining A-Jie, prepared to speak again. Just then, A-Jie struggled and said, "Yang Ze! If you don't say it, we can't be brothers anymore!"

Yang Ze snorted coldly: "We were never brothers to begin with, we were just cold, unrelated people with a score to each other!"

"what!!"

Just as A-Jie was about to explode, Chen Mingyu said in a sinister tone, "A-Jie, be quiet. You don't want everyone to know that you like Zhuo Peipei, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice rang in Chen Mingyu's ears.

Sun Xiansheng looked at A-Jie in astonishment: "What?! A-Jie, you... Ugh!! Ugh!!!"

Before Sun Xiansheng could finish speaking, Shen Yuan covered his mouth.

"Quiet!"

Looking at Shen Yuan's face, Sun Xiansheng gradually calmed down, but the astonishment in his eyes still could not be calmed down.

"Fine, damn it, since you're already on this pirate ship, Mr. Monkey, you might as well stay on."

Shen Yuan put his arm around Sun Xiansheng's neck and said calmly, "This matter is known only to heaven and earth, you, me, Aze, Ai Muyu, He Zhiyu, and Li Zhizhi. Oh my, my Li Bao's lyrics are so beautiful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan saw the others staring at him in complete silence.

Shen Yuan quickly broke into a smile: "Hehe."

"Hey you head!"

"Quite a few people know about this," Sun Xiansheng muttered to himself. Although he didn't know why A-Jie had feelings for Zhuo Peipei, he naturally wanted to continue listening since he had already heard about the topic.

After all, you can use the toilet anytime, but you can't always hear gossip.

Sun Xiansheng quickly stepped forward, completely ignoring A-Jie's desperate struggles and his constant muttering of things like "They're lying to you," "That's not true," and "How could I possibly do that?"

Sun Xiansheng chuckled inwardly, thinking to himself, "You little punk, you think you can fool me, the dignified love strategist?"

I could tell at a glance that you're interested in Zhuo Peipei!

Surrounded by the crowd, Yang Ze continued to tell the story: "I was just talking about how A-Jie used a fake account to spy on the school's confession wall. It's not a big deal, after all, A-Jie used to be a 'forbidden lover'."

However, Yang Ze changed the subject and continued, "But here's the problem: I discovered that A-Jie's alternate account is still frequently active on Zhuo Peipei's QQ space!"

As soon as Yang Ze finished speaking, the scene fell completely silent.

Immediately afterwards, everyone simultaneously let out a long, puzzled exclamation: "Huh?!"

Ah Jie, who was standing to the side, tried to struggle a bit, but Chen Mingyu covered his mouth.

"Those who are not involved should not speak yet. You will have a chance to speak after listening."

After Ah Jie was manually muted, Yang Ze continued, "Actually, I had already locked onto Ah Jie's alternate account. That idiot Ah Jie even tried to disguise himself as a girl, but under my sharp eyes, there was nowhere for him to hide!"

When Yang Ze finished speaking, Shen Yuan glanced at A-Jie.

Ah Jie's eyes at that time, how should I put it, had a sense of resignation.

"That idiot A-Jie always uses his alternate account to like Zhuo Peipei's posts on social media, basically every single one. But he never comments."

Yang Ze chuckled: "Ah Jie thought he was hiding it well, but in fact, I noticed him a long time ago."

"Why?" Shen Yuan looked at Yang Ze in confusion.

"Mutual friend".

Yang Ze said with an air of certainty, "A-Jie's alternate account and my main account have two mutual friends. At first, I thought it was Zhuo Peipei and the confession wall, but later, when I looked at his alternate account, I realized something was wrong."

“I have A-Jie as a friend on my alternate account, but not Zhuo Peipei.”

"Isn't that a bit arbitrary?" Sun Xiansheng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yang Ze snorted coldly: "Since I've locked onto it, there can't be any mistake. Besides, A-Jie specifically disguised himself as a student from our school to create a fake account, but you know, the information is too fake."

"He seems to love sweet romance novels, but he rarely shares any sweet romance articles, and the only ones he shares are 'The Stealer' and Zhuo Peipei's 'Love During the Lecture Period'."

Shen Yuan pursed his lips, realizing he'd been caught up in the drama himself.

However, most of you here already know that "The Stealer" is based on him and Li Zhi.

As for Ah Jie, well, he's completely resigned to his fate now.

and many more……

What the hell!

Shen Yuan yanked Chen Mingyu's hand away: "Damn it! Ai Muyu, you're suffocating A-Jie!"

Finally able to breathe, Ah-Jie took deep breaths.

"Friend, is this really necessary? You should spare my life."

Chen Mingyu chuckled sheepishly, "I was wrong, Brother Jie. I'll treat you to dinner tonight! If you're still not satisfied..."

As he spoke, Chen Mingyu bent over.

What the hell? Using this to test male high school students?

Which boys' high school could withstand such a test?

Without saying a word, Ah Jie slapped him across the face.

"Snapped!"

In an instant, four slaps landed on Chen Mingyu's buttocks.

Chen Mingyu jumped up instantly: "That's too much! Did I tell you to hit them?"

Shen Yuan and the other two quickly looked up and whistled, pretending that nothing had happened.

However, Sun Xiansheng's mind quickly turned to eating melons.

"Jay, so do you really like Zhuo Peipei?"

In an instant, four pairs of eyes fell on A-Jie.

Looking at the gazes of his best buddies, A-Jie scratched his head in annoyance, and finally nodded in a somewhat resigned manner.

"Yes, I just like her."

Upon hearing Ah Jie's admission, the crowd erupted in cheers.

Sun Xiansheng looked at A-Jie excitedly: "Holy crap! A-Jie! You have a crush on me!"

"Damn it, you're saying you remember your period because you have a good memory?"

"Pervert, pure-blooded pervert!"

"That's insane. Damn it, at most I'd let Li Zhi kick me."

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, the eyes of the other four people all fell on him.

"I never imagined that such a small Class 15 would produce two such outstanding individuals as the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix!"

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes at Yang Ze: "Stop talking nonsense. The most important thing right now is to see what A-Jie wants to do."

Shen Yuan looked at A-Jie: "Jie, so what are you planning to do next?"

Ah Jie scratched his head, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Shen Yuan and the others could understand A-Jie's reaction.

Shen Yuan sometimes felt that the thrill of puppy love was similar to that of having an affair.

On the surface, they are rivals who refuse to admit defeat to each other, or seemingly unfamiliar people who are like opposite sides of a river, but in reality, they are secretly kissing each other behind everyone's back.

This situation is so similar to that of Ah Jie and Zhuo Peipei.

The "Choice-Study Association" X The "Early Romance Prohibition Association"

Tsk, what's the difference between this and having an affair?!

However, A-Jie's feelings are different from Shen Yuanli's.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi's foundation is too solid. With Tongzi Ge around, it's even more solid than the C200.

But Ah-Jie and Zhuo Pei-Pei are different; they are just classmates, and under the pressure of the college entrance examination, neither of them knows what the future holds.

The beginning of a romantic relationship is basically due to the effects of hormones.

Over time, this will transform into appreciation of the individual.

However, if anything unexpected happens during this process, the partnership will fall apart.

Ah Jie's concerns are not unfounded.

That's how unrequited love is. If you don't confess, you can still be like bickering lovers. But if you do confess, you might not even be able to remain friends.

Seeing Ah Jie's conflicted expression, Sun Xiansheng patted his chest.

"Jay, I believe everyone is born with their own mission. And my mission is roughly to help you achieve your goal!"

Sun Xiansheng grasped A-Jie's hand and said sincerely, "Jie, let me be your strategist and guide you in the right direction for your love!"

"roll!"

Ah Jie rejected Sun Xiansheng without hesitation.

"I'd rather remain mute than have you as my strategist!"

As soon as A-Jie finished speaking, Shen Yuan, Yang Ze, and Chen Mingyu nodded in unison.

The methods that Teacher Monkey taught Yang Shuai about love are still vivid in my mind.

If it weren't for Yang Shuai's good fortune, he probably wouldn't be loved by anyone now.

Oh, Ah Shuai doesn't care. As long as Ah Shuai has games, that's enough for him.

Damn bastard!
