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

Chapter 192 It's raining, what to do with only one umbrella?

Actually, it's not just He Zhiyu.

When Zhou Shaojie, Yang Ze, and the others who had just entered saw this scene, they were all momentarily stunned.

Then the group hurriedly retreated to the corridor.

“This is a big problem,” Zhou Shaojie said with a serious expression.

Yang Ze nodded: "That bastard Shen Yuan has definitely abandoned the organization."

“If that’s the case, then A-Jie also wants to abandon the organization.” Sun Xiansheng pointed at A-Jie, “and we’re still helping him abandon the organization.”

Upon hearing this, the corners of their mouths twitched simultaneously.

Yang Ze lay on the corridor floor and sighed deeply: "Alas—how can a father not care about his son?"

Zhou Shaojie lunged forward and unleashed a massive dragon-like impact.

"I'll rip you off!"

"Ah! Brother Jie, no! No, Brother Jie!"

Seeing this, Chen Mingyu shook his head and then took off his glasses: "I really can't do anything with you guys."

Deadly Rhythm!

Before Chen Mingyu could get into a deadly rhythm, he felt Sun Xiansheng's body temperature behind him.

Who can resist the joy of a hallway juggling game?

Hearing the sounds coming from behind the frosted glass, Shen Yuan shook his head.

Shabi Boys' High School is really...

"I'm going to get some water, do you want some?"

"Mm." Li Zhi nodded, then handed her water glass to Shen Yuan.

After Shen Yuan left his seat, he did not go to the water dispenser immediately.

He listened to the increasingly loud noises in the corridor and sighed helplessly: "A bunch of idiots."

"Damn it! Don't step on my leg!"

"Who's pushing the kidneys up?!"

"Holy crap~ Yamete, Brother Jie! Yamete!"

Yang Ze was pressed against the railing and screamed, "Stop pushing me! Stop pushing me! I'm going to throw up!"

No sooner had Yang Ze finished speaking than he heard a roar from behind him.

"Eat my phase surge!"

Before he could finish speaking, a strong impact came from behind him, and Yang Ze yelled and slumped against the railing.

"Holy crap! Shen Yuan! You traitor!"

Without pausing after the impact, Shen Yuan used the rebound force to shove Sun Xiansheng in the back, and then took off running towards the classroom.

He heard Yang Ze's angry shouts and Zhou Shaojie and others' chaotic cursing behind him, but he ignored them and rushed back to the back door of the classroom in a few steps. He then slammed the door shut, completely isolating the chaotic "Jack-a-Match" battlefield in the corridor.

After finishing everything, Shen Yuan held two cups in one hand and patted his clothes with the other to tidy himself up.

The boy's face still held a hint of helpless disdain, which was replaced by a touch of smug satisfaction at having pulled off a prank. He then walked straight to the water dispenser at the back of the classroom.

"Here."

Shen Yuan walked to Li Zhi's table and very naturally handed her her water glass.

"Well, leave it there."

Li Zhi didn't even look up, continuing to do her homework.

The girl was completely unaware of the farce that was happening outside the corridor, and showed no curiosity whatsoever about Shen Yuan's actions.

After the bell rang for evening self-study, the classroom gradually quieted down, with only the scratching sound of pens slicing across paper remaining.

Li Zhi was focused on writing at his desk, his thoughts drifting through a sea of ​​questions.

She didn't know how much time had passed when a dry, itchy feeling rose in her throat, causing her to subconsciously stop writing.

Glancing at the water glass on the corner of the table, Li Zhi didn't think much of it and picked it up to take a sip.

The warm water, carrying just the right amount of warmth, slid down my throat, instantly quenching my thirst.

Li Zhi's fingers paused for a moment on the side of the cup, and her gaze unconsciously swept towards Shen Yuan beside her.

Shen Yuan sensed Li Zhi's gaze and turned to look at her as well.

The boy smiled faintly and asked in a low voice, "What are you looking at? You don't really think I don't know, do you?"

Shen Yuan leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Someone's period is coming soon, so I specially prepared warm water. Isn't that thoughtful?"

Li Zhi immediately turned his head away, pretending to solve the problem, but snorted, "Hmph! Who cares? I'm not a child."

But the girl's fingers unconsciously caressed the inside of the cup, her movements gentler than usual.

Shen Yuan chuckled as he looked at Li Zhi, knowing that the guy's little arrogance had kicked in again.

For a moment, Shen Yuan couldn't resist teasing Li Zhi, and then said in a cheeky tone, "Yes, yes, so you need to be even more aware that you can't eat ice cream lately."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi immediately turned and glared at Shen Yuan, saying defiantly, "Fine, I won't eat it! Do you think I care?"

Seeing her reaction, Shen Yuan got even more excited, grinned mischievously, and said cheekily, "But I can eat, I can eat two."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi took a deep breath and then stomped directly on Shen Yuan's foot.

"You're being a jerk, aren't you!"

“Go ahead and step on me, Li Bao,” Shen Yuan said through gritted teeth. “I bought my A-Cone just so you could step on it.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi slowly withdrew his foot, his face showing a completely embarrassed expression.

"Shen Yuan, your old jokes are just like your IQ; they need a proper update."

After saying that, a sly smile appeared on Li Zhi's face, and the girl said in a low voice, "You keep bringing up being stepped on. I suggest you think back to what you saw this afternoon..."

Just as the key words were about to slip from her lips, Shen Yuan almost reflexively leaned forward, his right hand moving so fast it left only a blur, and covered Li Zhi's mouth before she could continue speaking.

"Well!"

Caught off guard, Li Zhi was suddenly covered, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened instantly, glaring at Shen Yuan with surprise and slight anger.

The boy clearly felt the girl's warm, soft breath brush against his palm, and only then did he realize what he had done.

"That...this..."

Shen Yuan tried to explain, but his mind went blank, and he didn't know whether to let go or keep his hand covering Li Zhi's mouth.

Li Zhi didn't speak, but stared at him with her clear eyes, the meaning of which was self-evident: I'll give you three seconds.

At that moment, Xu Ziqiong, the class monitor standing on the podium, saw this scene below the stage and didn't know what to say for a moment.

On the surface, Shen Yuan covering Li Zhi's mouth was to prevent her from speaking.

But from another perspective, you should just focus on studying during self-study periods!
Just as Xu Ziqiong was about to speak up to stop him, she saw that Shen Yuan had already let go.

Upon seeing this, Xu Ziqiong nodded slightly.

Honestly, Shen Yuan is probably the only person in the class who would dare to treat Li Zhi like that.

Sitting in his seat, Shen Yuan chuckled awkwardly and scratched his head, completely at a loss for words.

Li Zhi stared at him for a moment before finally shifting her scrutinizing gaze.

The girl raised her hand to tidy her slightly messy hair, then continued working on the test paper.

Seeing Li Zhi like this, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and then nervously went to do his homework.

The clock ticked silently past the end of evening self-study, slipping away amidst the scratching of pens and the occasional turning of pages in the first two periods.

As the bell rang for the third period, the air in the classroom seemed to settle even more, enveloped in a deeper concentration. Only the heavy night outside the window was changing.

Shortly after the school bell rang, a few blurry water droplets silently appeared on the windowpane.

Soon, these splashes of water formed fine lines.

It's raining.

At first, there were sparse raindrops, almost imperceptible without close inspection; only the meandering water streaks on the window proved their existence.

But soon, the rain intensified, and the pattering sound gradually became clearer, tapping on the glass and the leaves outside the window, creating a layer of subtle white noise in the quiet classroom.

The sudden sound of rain was like a pebble thrown into calm water, creating ripples of different reactions among the students in Class 15.

The students at the tables near the window were the first to notice the change.

Someone looked up, briefly losing focus as they gazed out the window at the misty, damp night scene illuminated by the lights. Their brows furrowed slightly, perhaps worried that they hadn't brought an umbrella and would get soaked on their way home from school.

Some people only paused briefly, watching the raindrops gather and slide down, before lowering their heads again to continue battling the sea of ​​questions, seemingly oblivious to the dampness outside the window.

Because of the exam, Yang Ze and Zhou Shaojie moved their seats to the very back of the classroom.

Seeing the rain outside the window, he turned to Zhou Shaojie and asked, "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Zhou Shaojie shook his head: "Didn't bring it? Why?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I brought it."

"You mother..."

Zhuo Peipei closed the window and looked at the rain outside, feeling quite pleased.

She brought an umbrella.

On the other side of the classroom, Shen Yuan had already finished his homework and was doing practice problems.

The sound of rain pierced through his focused concentration, and he subconsciously looked up, turning his head to look at the water trickling and sliding down the windowpane on the other side of the classroom.

Then, almost naturally, she turned to Li Zhi beside her.

The girl remained engrossed in her exam paper, seemingly unaffected by the storms of the outside world.

Shen Yuan looked at her focused profile, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Li Zhi, did you bring an umbrella?"

Li Zhi paused, her pen still, without looking up, but her hand naturally reached into her desk drawer and rummaged around. "Didn't you know I always keep an umbrella handy?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi's hand stopped abruptly.

"Eh?"

The girl was taken aback, and then her hand naturally reached into the seat a few times.

Where's my umbrella?

Li Zhi's tone was somewhat incredulous, and he even leaned over to look around the desk.

The result was obvious: she didn't bring an umbrella.

Shen Yuan's lips twitched: "You forgot about it after you brought it home last time, didn't you?"

Li Zhi blinked, feeling a little awkward.

The sound of rain pattering against the glass outside the window only accentuated the quietness inside the classroom.

Li Zhi glanced at Shen Yuan, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally turned slightly to the side, lowering her voice to ask, "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Shen Yuan, who had been observing her embarrassment with a knowing smile, immediately nodded matter-of-factly when he heard the question: "Yes, I brought it. My mom told me to bring it before I left."

Li Zhi nodded, and just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Shen Yuan continue speaking.

"But I only brought one."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi was slightly taken aback and looked up at Shen Yuan.

The girl's fingertips unconsciously curled at the edge of the exam paper. The pattering rain outside the window made her slightly raised voice sound particularly clear: "Fine, one is fine."

As she spoke, a mischievous glint flashed in her almond-shaped eyes: "Then you'll have to go home in the rain."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow. Instead of being annoyed, he immediately put on that familiar, slightly irritating expression that Li Zhi knew so well.

As if he had been waiting there all along, he leaned slightly toward Li Zhi, deliberately lowering his voice and whispering in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Hey—Li Bao, how heartless!"

He drew out his words, his eyes gleaming as he looked at her, "But there's a small flaw in your plan..."

Shen Yuan paused, then, unable to suppress the smile on his face, said, "I'm holding the umbrella! Guess... who has the final say?"

After Shen Yuan finished speaking, the smug smile on his lips became even more pronounced, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he had already won the battle.

The sound of rain outside the window seemed to become the background noise for his little prank at that moment.

Looking at his smug expression, Li Zhi narrowed her beautiful almond-shaped eyes slightly, a sly glint in them.

She didn't immediately refute, but remained silent for two seconds, as if she was seriously considering something.

Then, a smile with a hint of innocence suddenly appeared on the girl's face.

She turned slightly to the side, getting a little closer to Shen Yuan, and said in a gentle voice, "Oh? Is that so? Then believe it or not, I'll call Auntie later and say that it's raining so hard outside, and Shen Yuan brought an umbrella but didn't give it to me, making me walk home in the rain by myself."

The gentle tone concealed an undeniable threat. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhi tilted his head, his clear eyes quietly looking at Shen Yuan, as if asking a question.

"Now... is the decision still in your hands?"

Upon hearing this trump card, Shen Yuan's smug expression instantly froze, like a punctured balloon.

He pursed his lips helplessly, utterly powerless against Li Zhi's precise targeting of his vital points.

A few seconds later, seeing the slight triumph in Li Zhi's eyes, he finally couldn't hold back and chuckled softly.

The boy put away his playful and teasing expression; the smile in his eyes remained, but it softened considerably.

He leaned closer to Li Zhi, lowered his voice, and said in a gentle yet firm tone:

"Okay, okay, I was just kidding. The decision has always been yours, hasn't it? I don't think you'd let me go home in the rain, would you, Li Bao?"

As he spoke, Shen Yuan smiled and looked at Li Zhi.

After hearing this, Li Zhi turned her head and glanced at him, gave a soft snort, but a small smile quietly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The girl picked up her pen and continued doing her homework, her tone slightly spoiled: "Hmph, dream on, Shen Yuan. How do you know the rain won't stop later?"

Shen Yuan looked at her smug little face and silently curved the corners of his mouth.

He didn't make a sound to disturb them, but his gaze naturally and thoughtfully turned to the window on the other side of the classroom.

Rainwater was trickling down the glass window, forming winding streaks.

The incandescent lights in the classroom blurred the night outside the window, making the rustling sound of writing inside even clearer.

He didn't speak, but quietly watched for a while the glistening surface, wet with rain.

……

The three evening self-study sessions passed quietly amidst the sound of rain.

When the school bell finally rang, the rain outside the window still hadn't stopped.

It continued steadily and patiently.

The light rain continued to patter against the windows and the grass outside, spreading a layer of damp mist over the campus and adding a touch of coolness to the journey home from school.

However, at this moment, the students in Class 15 were not thinking about the rain outside.

Rain is rain, changing seats is changing seats, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, the seating arrangement was already rearranged on Friday, so it doesn't matter if we change it now.

After pulling his seat to the far end, Zhou Shaojie looked at Shen Yuan beside him and casually asked, "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Shen Yuan nodded: "I brought it, why?"

Zhou Shaojie then looked at Chen Mingyu: "Ai Muyu, did you bring it?"

Chen Mingyu nodded: "I brought it, why?"

Zhou Shaojie was speechless: "Wait, why did you all bring them?"

Don't you check the weather forecast before you go out?

Ah Jie broke down.

Seeing Ah Jie's distress, Shen Yuan laughed heartily.

Before Shen Yuan could say anything more, he heard Li Zhi's voice coming from beside him.

"gone."

"okay!"

Shen Yuan put the two schoolbags on his body, and then walked out of the classroom with Li Zhi.

The corridor was full of students leaving school, noisy and filled with the damp smell of rain.

The two squeezed their way down the teaching building and arrived at the first floor.

Rainwater was dripping from the eaves, splashing small droplets on the ground. Looking out, the entire campus was shrouded in a hazy mist, blurred by the streetlights.

Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi, said nothing, and skillfully swung the umbrella handle away.

With a soft "click," the black umbrella suddenly opened.

He naturally took a small step forward and steadily held the umbrella directly above their heads, blocking the drizzling rain from outside the eaves.

Li Zhiwei turned slightly to the side, and without hesitation, moved lightly under the umbrella.

All around, umbrellas of various colors bloomed like mushrooms after the rain under the dim yellow light.

Students either huddled together in twos and threes under the same umbrella, complaining and laughing, or hurriedly ran towards the school gate alone with their heads down, holding their own umbrellas.

Water splashed with each step, and the wet ground reflected the swaying shadows of people and umbrellas.

Shen Yuan glanced down at the girl beside him. She shrugged slightly and looked ahead at the rain-streaked road.

He unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth again, adjusted the direction of the umbrella, and made sure that Li Zhi wouldn't get wet from the rain that was blowing in.

"Gone?" he said softly, his voice unusually clear in the small space under the umbrella.

"Mm," Li Zhi responded.

The two quickly left the school.

Amid the sound of rain, the two walked side by side on the street illuminated by streetlights, the raindrops creating a light rhythm on the umbrella.

Shen Yuan turned his head, looked at Li Zhi's calm profile, and asked softly, "You're not wet, are you?"

Li Zhi shook his head: "No."

Shen Yuan looked down at his left shoulder, which was already soaked by the rain. He smiled helplessly and said, "That's good, but my shoulder is completely wet."

"Then, how about we move the umbrella a little closer to you?"

"Why don't you move closer?" Shen Yuan said. "The umbrella is only so big. If you move closer to me, you'll get wet. Your period is coming soon, so be good."

Upon hearing Shen Yuan's words, Li Zhi was slightly taken aback.

"You sound like you're trying to be very kind..."

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with annoyance: "We're already side by side, where else can I lean on!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yuan's voice reached Li Zhi's ears.

"Hey, watch out for puddles."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Zhi felt an arm wrap around her shoulder and then pull her close.

The force was so great that Li Zhi was caught off guard and crashed completely into his arms.

Through the school uniform jacket, Li Zhi could clearly feel the sudden tightening of the boy's chest and the instantaneous surge of heat.

The scent of laundry detergent mixed with the damp air after the rain filled Li Zhi's nostrils, leaving him completely stunned as he stiffly pressed against Shen Yuan's chest.

Time seemed to freeze for a moment.

All I could hear was the patter of raindrops hitting the umbrella above my head, and the amplified sound of my own heartbeat.

It was impossible to tell whose it was; it made a loud, drumming sound.
