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

Chapter 183 Shen Yuan: Be nicer to me from now on
The next morning.

When Shen Yuan opened his door, he happened to bump into Li Zhi, who lived across the hall, putting on his shoes with his head down.

After putting on her shoes, Li Zhi stood up and tossed her schoolbag into Shen Yuan's hands.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to say something, Li Zhi pursed her lips and shook her head very slightly.

Seeing the beautiful girl's expression, Shen Yuan immediately understood what Li Zhi meant.

Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as he greeted Li Zhi as usual.

"morning."

Li Zhi nodded: "Good morning."

After they finished speaking, the two stopped talking and waited silently for the elevator.

As the elevator chimed, the doors opened, and the two silently stepped into the car.

As the elevator doors closed, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi both breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just in case, neither of them spoke at this moment.

The feeling of weightlessness as the elevator descended, along with the sound of his heartbeat, swelled in the enclosed space. Shen Yuan moved half a step to her side, his shoulder brushing against the sleeve of her school uniform almost imperceptibly.

Li Zhi immediately straightened up and warned in a low voice, "Shen Yuan, don't do anything rash."

Shen Yuan chuckled lightly, his face completely unconcerned, and his voice was extremely low: "What's there to be afraid of? We're in the elevator, and the parents won't know."

He deliberately moved a little closer to her, the friction of his school uniform cuffs bringing a warm sensation.

Li Zhi frowned, his eyes showing tension, and warned more sternly: "Behave yourself! Don't make me angry!"

Seeing Li Zhi's serious expression, Shen Yuan immediately composed himself.

"Ok."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan reached out and shook Li Zhi's hand.

Shen Yuan released his grip before Li Zhi could glare at him.

Seeing Shen Yuan release his grip, Li Zhi's original rebuke immediately fell silent.

Knowing that this guy was just teasing her, the pretty girl glared at him slightly, clenched her little fist, and waved it in front of Shen Yuan as a silent warning.

With a soft "ding," the elevator arrived at the first floor.

Stepping out of the elevator car, passing through the lobby of the apartment building, and pushing open the glass door, the cool morning air rushed towards me.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi walked out of the building entrance side by side and onto the main road in the community.

Behind them, in their respective homes, Zhang Yuyan and Xu Chan simultaneously pulled back a corner of their curtains near their windows.

Their gazes quietly followed the two figures in school uniforms walking side by side downstairs.

At this moment, Shen Yuan, who was walking on the road, suddenly turned his head, a sly smile on his face, and asked Li Zhi in a low voice, "Hey, guess what? Are our parents upstairs watching us leave right now?"

Li Zhizheng was looking down at the road when he heard this, and his steps paused almost imperceptibly.

Instead of immediately glancing up at her own window, she pretended to be calm and slapped Shen Yuan's arm, acting as if Shen Yuan had angered her.

"Shut up!"

The beautiful girl's voice still carried the usual warning tone, but only she knew the slight increase in her heartbeat.

Shen Yuan let out an exaggerated "hiss," but his smile deepened.

He straightened his two backpacks and didn't ask any further questions, as if he had just made a funny joke.

Shen Yuan didn't look back either.

He was very clear about one thing: with his ability to see clearly, even if he couldn't see the faces of people on the 18th floor, he could definitely see if there was anyone by the window.

Shen Yuan also knew that it would be best if he turned around and didn't see the person by the window.

But if they see it, it means that his family knows about his relationship with Li Zhi.

It also means that he knows his family is watching him and Li Zhi.

Of course, the most important thing is the awkward situation each of them faces after they look at each other.

Most parents wouldn't feel embarrassed, so the only ones who would feel awkward are Shen Yuan and Li Zhi.

The feelings that blossom between childhood sweethearts are two different things when revealed to classmates and when revealed to parents.

To avoid embarrassment for his family, Shen Yuan decided it was best to behave himself.

So even after leaving the residential area and going out of sight, Shen Yuan remained very well-behaved today.

"Boss, two glass noodles, one meat, pickled vegetables, dried plum vegetables, and salted tofu pudding."

"15!"

Before Shen Yuan could finish speaking, the steamed bun shop owner had already wrapped up the steamed buns Shen Yuan needed and given them to him.

"Turn around."

Shen Yuan took the steamed bun, turned around, and walked briskly toward Li Zhi.

He walked up to Li Zhi, smiled, and asked, "Which one would you like to eat?"

Li Zhi's gaze fell on the steamed bun in Shen Yuan's hand. After examining it carefully, she replied, "I want the one with vermicelli."

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, quickly picked out a steamed bun with vermicelli filling from the bun in his hand, carefully cut it in half, and handed one half to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi took the steamed bun and was about to take a bite when he suddenly heard Shen Yuan speak.

"We don't shake hands in the morning, but we still shake hands when we go back in the evening."

Li Zhi froze instantly, staring wide-eyed at Shen Yuan.

The girl quickly shoved the steamed bun back into Shen Yuan's hand, as if it were a hot potato.

Shen Yuan immediately raised his voice: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with a face full of anger.

Shen Yuanfei quickly said, "Are we suspicious of our family members now? If we are suspicious, shouldn't we refrain from showing any unusual behavior?"

"It already happened this morning because they don't know how we were doing on our way to school. But should we continue to walk around the neighborhood tonight? What if we act too strangely and our family gets suspicious?"

Shen Yuan paused, then said seriously, "So for the sake of family harmony, we should still shake hands when we go home tonight."

Li Zhi pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and then nodded.

"Okay. Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm only doing this for the sake of family harmony!"

Shen Yuan nodded, smiling at Li Zhi: "I know, I know, Li Bao has worked so hard for this family~"

"Hmph! Thran!"

After saying that, Li Zhi tossed her head, her ponytail drawing a haughty arc in the air.

The beautiful girl strode quickly towards the school.

Because there's a long holiday this week, Friday's class will be another exam.

Yesterday, under Lao Zhou's arrangement, Class 15 had already changed their seats. The same situation was happening in the neighboring Class 14.

The teachers for Class 15 and Class 14 are the same, so the arrangements for the two classes are basically similar.

Back in the classroom, Li Zhi quickly went to his seat.

Although they changed seats, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi still sat together.

"I wonder if today will be another all-day exam." Shen Yuan pursed his lips, a little worried.

It's better to stay far away from those ridiculously long exam schedules that last all day.

Li Zhi shook his head: "Probably not. I feel like there might be a less formal exam arrangement."

Things turned out exactly as Li Zhi had expected.

The Chinese teacher, Zhou Ruolan, was present during what was originally an English morning reading session.

The moment Zhou Ruolan appeared, the English reading that hadn't yet started in the classroom completely stopped.

Before the students could even ask any questions, Sister Lan announced, "Today's morning reading session has been changed to Chinese. The exam starts at 8:30. Oh, by the way, it's all Chinese this morning. After the exam, we'll analyze the test papers. If there's extra time, we can have class."

Shen Yuan's lips twitched, and he looked at Li Zhi with a look of astonishment: "Then I roughly know what the arrangements are for this afternoon."

Li Zhi nodded, giving a forced smile: "I understand too."

Although the exam didn't last all day, the process was still somewhat unexpected.

The entire Friday consisted of Chinese exams in the morning, math exams in the afternoon, and English exams during evening self-study.

After the exam, start analyzing the test paper immediately, and if there's extra time, review it.

There are four periods of Chinese in the morning, four periods of math in the afternoon, and three periods of English during evening self-study.

Shen Yuan strongly suspected that his older cousin had moved her English class to evening self-study to be lazy.

Regardless, Friday has come to an end.

After enduring a grueling day of exams, faced with this level of intensity, Shen Yuan could only say...
Generally speaking (superb bubble sound).

On Saturday, the physics, chemistry, and biology teachers used the entire morning's classes to give Class 15 a comprehensive science exam, and then spent the rest of the time analyzing the test papers.

One hour of lunch break is dedicated to physics, and the remaining two periods are reserved for chemistry and biology.

The two-day course was clearly divided.

After the second period in the afternoon, the class erupted in cheers. "Whoosh! Long holiday!"

"It's a long holiday! Let's play some games!"

Amid the cheers, Shen Yuan, contrary to his usual demeanor, remained solemn. He hurriedly packed his schoolbag and then began urging Li Zhi to hurry up.

"My dad has arrived, it's time to go."

"Okay, okay." Li Zhifei quickly packed his schoolbag.

Seeing the two of them hurrying along, He Zhiyu, sitting in the front row, asked with a puzzled look, "Zhizhi, where are you two going?"

"Go get your cat spayed/neutered!"

After saying that, Li Zhi tossed the schoolbag into Shen Yuan's hands: "Here you go! Zhiyu, see you tomorrow!"

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi and Shen Yuan had already walked out of the classroom.

He Zhiyu blinked as she watched the two figures disappear into the distance.

It's clear that this is a big deal.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi quickly arrived at the school gate, and then the two jogged to the road next to the school where they could park.

"Over there, over there." Shen Yuan quickly located Lao Shen's car and led Li Zhi to the car.

As soon as he opened the door, Shen Yuan heard two loud meows.

"Wow, that's pretty loud."

After glancing at the cat in the cat carrier in the trunk, Shen Yuan turned to Zhang Yuyan, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Mom, are you fasting and not drinking?"

Zhang Yuyan nodded: "It's over. I stopped taking it right after I ate this morning."

"Well! Let's go!"

As soon as Shen Yuangang finished speaking, the car started smoothly.

Along the way, Li Zhi frequently looked back at the kitten in the cat cage in the trunk, his brow furrowed with worry.

"Genggeng, has it always been like this when you take it out?"

Looking at Xiao Sangeng huddled in the corner of the cat cage, Li Zhi's worry deepened.

Shen Yuan had always been the one taking the two cats to get their vaccinations, so Li Zhi was unaware of the kittens' condition after they were taken out.

Shen Yuan nodded: "Yeah, it's actually quite timid. It looks brave, but it's actually very timid. Nao Nao is different; it can't hear, so it's rather... dull?"

Hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi sighed slightly.

"Why are they all in one cage? Didn't you prepare two cages?"

Shen Yuan pursed his lips and said, "If we separate them, they will all be scared. The reason for preparing two is that they will have to be separated after they are sterilized."

Li Zhi nodded, a hint of relief in her eyes as she looked at Shen Yuan.

It feels great to have someone arrange everything for you.

However, this sense of relief quickly vanished with a meow.

Li Zhi knelt on the back seat of the car and rubbed his hand against the cat cage: "Geng Geng, Nao Nao, be good."

Shen Yuan turned to look at Li Zhi and smiled slightly.

With the girl's reassurance, Lao Shen quickly drove to the pet hospital.

When I arrived at the pet store, it was exactly time for my appointment.

The pet hospital that Shen Yuan chose has one of the highest ratings in Jiyang.

That was the only choice he could make.

After the receptionist confirmed the information, she quickly led Shen Yuan into the examination room, and Li Zhi followed them in.

Zhang Yuyan and Lao Shen did not go in; they simply waited outside.

In the clinic, the doctor examined each cat's physical condition one by one. After Shen Yuan paid, the doctor took the cats to have a physical examination.

"You can sit in the lobby for a while. I'll call you when the results are out. It should take about half an hour."

After saying that, the doctor carried the cat cage into the hospital.

As the two little ones disappeared from his sight, Li Zhi's worry immediately rose.

"Shen Yuan..."

The girl tugged at Shen Yuan's school uniform, her face filled with worry.

Shen Yuan gently placed his hand on Li Zhi's hand and reassured her, "It's alright, it's just a check-up. It'll be a good opportunity to see how the two of them are doing."

Li Zhi nodded slightly: "Then, shall we wait here now, or..."

"Let's go outside. Sitting here for half an hour won't do any good."

Li Zhi responded softly.

At this moment, the girl seemed to have completely lost her autonomy.

As Shen Yuan stepped out of the consultation room, he saw Old Shen and Ms. Zhang Yuyan sitting in the lobby.

"Dad, Mom."

When Zhang Yuyan saw the two of them come out, she asked, "Did you go to do it?"

Shen Yuan shook his head: "Let's have a physical examination first to see if we're fit for surgery."

"Ah."

After responding, Zhang Yuyan looked at Li Zhi beside her.

The girl was still clutching Shen Yuan's school uniform, her face full of worry.

Such intimate gestures would never normally be shown to the parents of the two children.

But at this moment, her primary concern was for the two little ones.

Zhang Yuyan didn't say anything about Li Zhi's actions.

It's clear that the young woman is genuinely worried about the two little ones.

At this moment, Shen Yuan appeared to be perfectly fine.

"Sit down for a while, don't stand."

Shen Yuan nodded, and then he and Li Zhi found a place to sit down.

The young woman sat down and immediately started searching for precautions after her cat was spayed/neutered.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan, disregarding the fact that his parents were right next to him, grabbed her hand.

"It's okay, I've got everything ready. I've prepared small blankets to keep them warm in the cages, and I've also prepared cat cages when I get home. I'll put them in the cages during the day, and when I get back at night, I'll let them come out for a walk."

Li Zhi looked up at Shen Yuan. Shen Yuan's thorough arrangements slightly dispelled the gloom that had been hanging over her heart, making her feel a real sense of reliance.

Although worries still lingered between his brows, looking into Shen Yuan's earnest eyes always made Li Zhi feel more at ease.

"Thank you."

"Don't be so polite, I'm their father after all."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi lowered his head slightly.

The girl said softly, "Well, I'm not very competent at it..."

Shen Yuan squeezed Li Zhi's hand, leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "Then you'd better be nice to me from now on."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhizheng's worries about the cat were stirred by this seemingly ordinary suggestion.

Two blushes instantly rose on the beautiful girl's face. She was both ashamed and annoyed, and she suddenly turned her head to glare angrily at Shen Yuan.

Her clear eyes were practically spitting out flames, and her pearly teeth were lightly biting her lower lip, making her look exceptionally vivid with a mixture of shame and anger.

Normally, she would have already cursed out loud, but when she saw Shen Yuan's gaze, she swallowed back the rebuke that was on the tip of her tongue.

She pinched Shen Yuan's hand hard, her voice low and tinged with resentment, and said, "For the sake of the kitten, I don't want to scold you right now!"

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan chuckled and tightened his grip on Li Zhi's hand.

Li Zhi did not resist, letting Shen Yuan hold her hand in front of Zhang Yuyan and Lao Shen, even placing her hand on his leg and holding it.

Less than half an hour later, the door to the examination room was pushed open again, and the doctor came out with the test results.

Are Sangeng and Naonao's parents here?

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi immediately stood up.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhang Yuyan and Lao Shen, Shen Yuan led Li Zhi into the consultation room.

Old Shen blinked in confusion: "Aren't you going to hide anything anymore?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yuyan patted her husband: "What do you know? They're too worried about those two little ones right now."

Old Shen nodded slightly: "That's fine."

As for what makes it good, even Lao Shen himself couldn't explain it clearly.
