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

Chapter 180: Let A-Jie write a sweet romance novel.

"Jay, now that you've admitted you like Zhuo Peipei, we need to plan our next move!"

Although Sun Xiansheng was disliked, his enthusiasm for the matter did not diminish at all. He even lingered because he could watch the drama unfold and became increasingly excited.

Shen Yuan leaned against the railing, one hand casually in his pocket, the other around Zhou Shaojie's neck, and said, "Jie, let's not beat around the bush and get straight to the point."

Do you want to pursue Zhuo Peipei?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shaojie turned to look at Shen Yuan, remained silent for a moment, and finally nodded.

However, when he opened his mouth, it was completely inconsistent with his actions. He said, "I wouldn't dare."

At this moment, Zhou Shaojie was completely different from the Ah Jie who dared to act silly and prank in front of the whole class.

He lowered his head slightly and said softly to Shen Yuan, "Yuan, my situation is different from yours. I really failed in my confession, and I might not even be able to be friends with him anymore."

Upon hearing Zhou Shaojie's words, the people present all frowned.

"What are you afraid of, Jie! How do you know she won't come forward if you don't go forward yourself?" Sun Xiansheng patted Zhou Shaojie's shoulder confidently and said loudly, "I suggest you go and talk to Zhuo Peipei right now, directly... um!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu covered Sun Xiansheng's mouth.

Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu exchanged a glance, and then without saying a word, they dragged Sun Xiansheng away.

"Alright, alright, Teacher Monkey, come here, stand here and just listen quietly." Yang Ze said to Sun Xiansheng while dragging him along.

Although Sun Xiansheng struggled desperately, Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu were too strong, and he couldn't break free at all.

Teacher Monkey had no choice but to accept his fate.

"Aze, do you have any good ideas?"

Yang Ze pursed his lips and said, "You can talk about games, but when it comes to dating, I'll have to ask you. You're the only one here who has dating experience."

"Hey, hey, hey, that can hardly be called a relationship," Shen Yuan quickly waved his hand in denial upon hearing Yang Ze's words.

“Well, at least you have experience, right? You should have some ideas on how to win a girl’s favor,” Chen Mingyu chimed in.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other four nodded in agreement.

Four pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "Personally, I think that if you want to get close to girls and win their favor, you have to start with things they are interested in."

He paused briefly, then explained, "As we all know, Li Bao especially loves doing practice problems. So, if you bring her some problems, she usually won't refuse you outright."

"However, there is one thing to be careful about: when you are communicating with her, you must not appear too stupid."

After saying this, Shen Yuan's gaze slowly fell on Zhou Shaojie, and then he asked directly, "So I want to ask, what exactly does Zhuo Peipei like?"

Zhou Shaojie answered almost without hesitation: "She likes to eat candy, write sweet articles, and eat desserts."

Upon hearing this answer, Shen Yuan's lips twitched involuntarily. He couldn't help but curse, "This idiot kid eats so much candy all day long, he'll get diabetes sooner or later! Wait a minute..."

Suddenly, as if realizing something, he pointed a finger at Zhou Shaojie and yelled, "You little bastard, you actually investigated so thoroughly in secret?! You were planning this all along, weren't you?!"

Faced with Shen Yuan's accusations, Zhou Shaojie remained calm and explained unhurriedly:

"Oh dear, we've been deskmates for over a year. If I don't even know what she likes, wouldn't I be a complete idiot? Besides, if I don't even know this basic information, how am I supposed to pursue her?"

Zhou Shaojie's words were met with nods of agreement from everyone present.

"Damn! I didn't expect you, Ah Jie, to have come prepared!"

Seeing Yang Ze's "I knew it" look, Zhou Shaojie smiled a little embarrassedly.

He said softly, "Although I was prepared beforehand, the actual situation is another matter. In fact, if you hadn't asked, I probably would have kept this to myself and never said a word."

That's how unrequited love is; it can easily linger until high school graduation, and then continue to linger until it rots in your heart.

It never sprouts and dies in some unknown corner.

Shen Yuan looked at Zhou Shaojie and patted him on the shoulder: "So now that you know Zhuo Peipei's hobbies, which aspect do you think is the best to start with?"

Zhou Shaojie frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then hesitated before speaking: "I think it's probably not realistic to enjoy sweet moments with her, and lately she's been enjoying sweet moments between you and Li Zhi, so there's even less chance I'll join in."

Yang Ze nodded in understanding, then joked, "If these idiot kids are doing this together, they'll be green with envy!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shaojie glared fiercely at Yang Ze, but did not refute it.

He took a deep breath and continued, "If we eliminate this option, there's really only one choice left."

"Sugar-coated novels! Yes! You can discuss sugar-coated novels with Zhuo Peipei! Then you can naturally attract her attention!"

Sun Xiansheng spoke immediately after breaking free from Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu.

This time, Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu did not stop Sun Xiansheng.

Because deep down, that's what they actually think too.

Upon hearing Sun Xiansheng's words, Zhou Shaojie was slightly taken aback, but before he could even form a thought, his gaze involuntarily fell upon Shen Yuan.

"Yuan, what do you think?"

Shen Yuan smiled and nodded, saying calmly, "This is indeed an option, but it is by no means your only option."

Zhou Shaojie's eyes immediately lit up. He looked at Shen Yuan expectantly and asked eagerly, "Do you have any other ideas? Tell me quickly!"

Shen Yuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile. He deliberately kept everyone in suspense and said, "Do you really want to know?"

Under Zhou Shaojie's eager gaze, Shen Yuan finally cleared his throat and slowly offered his suggestion: "That's simple, since she likes reading sweet romance novels..."

As Shen Yuan's confident demeanor caught Zhou Shaojie's eye, Shen Yuan's advice also came to the fore.

"Just write it for her!"

The scene froze instantly.

The expectation on Zhou Shaojie's face seemed to freeze, followed by an incredulous stiffness.

"Damn it! Yuan! You're a genius!" Yang Ze slammed his hand on the railing and jumped up, then grabbed Sun Xiansheng, who was trying to jump up again.

Teacher Monkey's face was now filled with pure, unadulterated excitement at being stunned by this ultimate move.

"Write...write a sweet romance novel?!" Chen Mingyu gasped, repeating the words unconsciously.

Immediately, Chen Mingyu exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, you can do that?"

He couldn't help but applaud Shen Yuan twice: "Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Sun Xiansheng reacted the most intensely. He was held down by Yang Ze's shoulders and couldn't break free. His voice even became distorted because he had to suppress his excitement.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Shen Yuan is awesome! Jie! Jie! Write! Write it now! Have you seen all the ones posted on the confession wall? Just copy hers and send her one! Double the damage! This tactic is unbeatable!"

In an instant, the small corner was filled with exclamations of "Holy crap!", "Awesome!", and "Genius!" from several boys.

The others were shocked, but to send Zhou Shaojie to write sweet romance novels?!

Shen Yuan looked at Zhou Shaojie, whose face looked like the sky had fallen, and nodded with satisfaction: "Jie, isn't her favorite kind of story sweet romance novels? Do you think other people's sweet romance novels are sweeter than yours?"

“Think about it,” Shen Yuan continued to describe the scene to A-Jie, “when Zhuo Peipei is so overwhelmed by the sweetness of your writing, you can then reveal at the right time that it was actually written for her.”

In that instant, Shen Yuan's alluring description shot into Zhou Shaojie's heart like a spark.

Especially the line "It was written for her".

As the image of Zhuo Peipei holding Tang Wen with a surprised smile became clearer and clearer, Zhou Shaojie's breathing became slightly heavy, and his fists clenched and unclenched in his pockets.

Under the anxious gaze of everyone, Zhou Shaojie suddenly raised his head, the hesitation in his eyes turning into a stubborn light, and then he nodded sharply.

"Fine! Yuan, I'll listen to you, I'll write it! At worst, I'll just be a fool, let's do it!"

Upon hearing Ah Jie's words, everyone present nodded in agreement.

"With your determination, I can rest assured."

Shen Yuan patted A-Jie on the shoulder: "How about this?" Then, Shen Yuan turned to Yang Ze, Chen Mingyu, and Sun Xiansheng with an air of seriousness: "Come on, you three, as A-Jie's older brothers, now it's your mission!"

"Aze, Ai Muyu, you two quickly draft a sweet romance novel outline for Ajie! The theme is unrequited love, and you can come up with the name yourselves, but it must be closely related to the theme, unrequited love! You can start by writing freely, and hand it to me when you're done."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan's gaze fell on Sun Xiansheng's face.

Looking at Sun Xiansheng's expectant face, Shen Yuan pursed his lips, as if he saw a huge "unreliable" label shining brightly.

Shen Yuan waved his hand dismissively: "Forget it, forget it, you should just stay somewhere cool. I'm afraid Tang Wen will turn into a bomb if you play. You can't be relied on, you really can't be relied on."

"Hey?! Brother Yuan! Father Yuan! No! I promise I'll be reliable this time!" Sun Xiansheng immediately wailed, trying to prove himself.

"Shut up, Mr. Monkey!"

"Stop making things worse!"

Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu spoke up almost simultaneously, ruthlessly interrupting Sun Xiansheng's protest.

"No! I can do it! I can do it! You have to believe in me! You all have to believe in me!"

During Sun Xiansheng's struggle, Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu dragged him back to the classroom.

Looking at this absurd yet familiar scene, Zhou Shaojie covered his face, resignedly laughed, and cursed, "Damn! A bunch of idiots!"

As soon as Zhou Shaojie finished speaking, Shen Yuan's hand landed on his shoulder.

"Jay, once the outline and details are out, it's up to you to do it. That's all the help we can give you."

When Shen Yuan returned to the classroom, the smile on his face still lingered from their earlier "conspiracy."

He had just sat down when he heard a low voice beside him.

"What were you doing just now? Why are you laughing like that... with ill intent?"

Li Zhi stopped writing, turned her head slightly to look at him, and her eyes held a hint of curiosity.

Shen Yuan glanced around to make sure no one was paying special attention to them, then his smile deepened.

He raised his finger and beckoned to Li Zhi, signaling her to come closer.

Seeing his mysterious demeanor, Li Zhi still moved her chair slightly closer and leaned towards him.

Shen Yuan immediately leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his deliberately lowered voice filled with the excitement of sharing a secret.

"I was just outside, chatting with A-Jie and the others, hehe, we talked about something big."

He paused for a moment, making sure Li Zhi's attention was completely captured, before whispering the crucial point: "Let me tell you... that kid A-Jie, he likes Zhuo Peipei!"

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, he stepped back slightly, with a hint of smugness at having gotten the juicy gossip and a playful jab at his best friend.

Shen Yuan's gaze fell on Li Zhi, and he waited to see a slight look of surprise on the beautiful girl's face.

However, Li Zhi's performance disappointed Shen Yuan.

The pretty girl showed no surprise; instead, she seemed to think, "That's all."

"Wait, Li Bao, what's with that expression?"

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan expressionlessly, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "To remember something as simple as your period so clearly, who would believe you don't have some other intentions?"

Her voice was soft, but the teasing tone was unmistakable.

After saying that, Li Zhi glanced at Shen Yuan casually, the meaning in his eyes was all too clear.

Faced with Li Zhi's questioning, Shen Yuan scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled dryly, "Hehe, it was just because I cared about you."

Seeing this, Li Zhi's smile widened, and he also rolled his eyes at Shen Yuan.

However, she didn't dwell on the issue and instead cut straight to the point, asking, "Okay, let's not talk about that now. So, what did you do after you found out Zhou Shaojie liked Peipei?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's lips, which had been slightly curved, suddenly curled up again, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, I knew you'd ask that!" He quickly leaned close to Li Zhi's ear, lowering his voice with a hint of slyness, "Li Bao, you know Zhuo Peipei really loves sweet romance novels. So..."

Shen Yuan paused deliberately at this point, keeping everyone in suspense.

Only when Li Zhi's brows furrowed slightly did he smile and reveal his true intentions:

"I'll have Ah Jie write a sweet romance novel for her! And it'll be the kind with unrequited love! When Zhuo Peipei is completely captivated by it, Ah Jie will suddenly tell her that this sweet romance novel was actually made especially for her!"

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi's face first showed a look of astonishment, as if he had not expected him to say such a thing.

However, after only a moment of surprise, she suddenly seemed to understand something and chuckled softly.

Li Zhi's laughter echoed in the air, carrying a hint of teasing and mockery.

"You..." She shook her head while laughing, seemingly speechless at Shen Yuan's plan.

"But aren't you afraid of messing up this plan and making Ah Jie even more cowardly?" Her tone revealed a hint of worry, after all, the plan still sounded somewhat risky.

Zhuo Peipei has very strict requirements for sweet romance novels.

Shen Yuan was clearly confident in his plan. He clicked his tongue and said dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of? Let A-Jie post it using a secondary account. Even if it doesn't work, Zhuo Peipei won't know that it was A-Jie who posted it."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan winked at Li Zhi: "It's a secret!"

Li Zhi nodded: "Keep it a secret, but we want to talk about something."

Li Zhi suddenly changed the subject, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. He leaned forward, staring directly at Shen Yuan, a playful glint in his eyes.

She lowered her voice and deliberately drew out her words:
"By the way, Shen Yuan, you teach these tactics so skillfully, like writing sweet romance novels and starting with girls' interests... You sound very experienced. Tell me, have you used these methods to pursue many girls before?"

Shen Yuan was taken aback by this sudden question.

Good grief, it's coming at me!

Shen Yuanfei quickly shook his head and protested, "No way! How could that be! Li Bao, don't wrong me! I was just talking theory on paper, purely to help A-Jie."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi gave a soft "Oh," his smile deepening, tinged with obvious mockery: "Armchair strategist?"

Shen Yuan nodded emphatically: "That's absolutely all theory! I have absolutely no experience when it comes to pursuing girls! You have to believe me!"

Seeing his flustered state, Li Zhi couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Yes, yes, that's right. Do you know what the premise of armchair strategizing is?"

"What?" Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi coldly.

The pretty girl smiled sweetly: "It's because you have 'soldiers' you want to talk about that you're only talking about it on paper."

Upon hearing Li Zhi's teasing, Shen Yuan's expression froze for a moment, then he seemed to have suddenly let go of something and sighed softly.

He lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously tracing the tabletop, and his voice also lowered involuntarily: "Yes, you're right... At that time, I did want to talk."

He paused, then looked up at Li Zhi, a slightly bitter smile playing on his lips, his eyes flickering.
"When I entered my senior year of high school, the moment I saw you, you were the only one in my eyes. Only you, Li Bao, are my true love."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Shen Yuan: "You idiot, be serious!"

Seeing the beautiful girl like this, Shen Yuan knew that he was out of danger for the time being, so he nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay."

Li Zhi smiled and said, "Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Get ready, class is about to start."

Seeing this, Shen Yuan nodded, pulling his attention away from A-Jie and turning his focus to the class he was about to attend.

He glanced at the timetable. Oh, it's English class later. He muttered to himself, "I'm not listening."

Shen Yuan pulled out a biology exam paper and started working on the questions.

My older cousin's attitude towards Shen Yuan remains the same: as long as he doesn't drop below 145 in the English monthly exam, it's up to him.

As for Shen Yuan falling, he can just die somewhere.

Shen Yuan got a perfect score on his English exam last month, and his older cousin hasn't bothered with him this month.
