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

Chapter 195 Taking Li Zhi Out for the Night

In fact, Li Zhi deliberately told He Zhiyu about A Jie's feelings for Zhuo Peipei.

This was a completely impromptu prank.

Li Shao was never a cute and adorable high school girl; she was a tormented priestess.

Moreover, He Zhiyu was present when A-Jie confessed to Zhuo Peipei that day; it's just that the author herself wasn't very sensitive to things like unrequited love.

Are there areas where even authors of light novels are not good at writing?

Moreover, after such harmless pranks are over, all that's left is the fire of gossip.

On one hand, there's the still-unrevealed, veiled romance between her best friend and her childhood sweetheart.

On the other hand, there is a story of unrequited love between mortal enemies who secretly develop feelings for each other.

Regardless of which one it is, if it comes to a qualified member of the fan club, then it has to be something worth fantasizing about.

The first one is great, and the second one is great too!
The moment you're about to confess your feelings to someone you secretly love is the one filled with the most anticipation!

During the meal, overwhelmed by intense shame, A-Jie tried to hold onto his phone, but with the combined efforts of Yang Ze and the others, he ultimately failed to keep it.

Yang Ze snatched A-Jie's phone, quickly unlocked it with his fingerprint, and then found the sweet story A-Jie had written.

Shen Yuan reacted quickly, snatching the phone and swiping randomly across the screen until he found the sweet romance novel.

The dinner table fell silent. Li Zhi and He Zhiyu also came over. Everyone was as excited as if they had discovered some rare delicacy, or rather, some new type of fruit dish.

Shen Yuan frowned when he saw the title.

He held the phone between two fingers, as if it were contaminated with some kind of virus.

"Bush, Gomen. What kind of crap is this? 'The Breeze Brushes Through Your Hair'? Excuse me, this title gives me absolutely no sense of anticipation!"

No sooner had Shen Yuan finished speaking than Yang Ze snatched the phone away.

As Yang Ze read, he shook his head wildly: "The plot is so stupid! Damn it, how come the opening is just the protagonist's one-sided fantasy? What does 'she looks like an angel in her white dress today' mean? No way, I can't take it."

After saying that, Yang Ze handed over his phone.

Listening to his friends' criticisms, A-Jie felt he couldn't eat the meal anymore.

"Then say it! Don't just criticize!"

Upon hearing Ah Jie's words, the others present all shut their mouths.

Upon seeing this scene, A-Jie immediately became anxious.

"You mother..."

But before Ah Jie could utter a curse, a voice rang out.

"Let's call the book 'Silent Reading'."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Li Zhi.

"Silent...silent reading?"

Hearing the name come out of Li Zhi's mouth, A-Jie felt as if the entire process had been paused.

Just moments ago, he was so anxious he wanted to jump up and yell at people, his face filled with frustration and embarrassment, but now the light shining from his eyes was astonishing.

Shock swept over him like a tidal wave, followed by an uncontrollable ecstasy.

“Yes, read silently.” Li Zhi nodded calmly, as if he had just said it casually.

"Why? Why is it called silent reading?"

Shen Yuan scratched his head and looked at Li Zhi: "Let me state upfront that I'm not being argumentative. I admit the title is good, but I really don't understand why it's good in any specific way?"

"Damn it, you're not a contrarian?" Ah Jie spat.

Anyway, he thought this title was much better than the one he had randomly come up with.

Li Zhi sighed slightly, looked at Shen Yuan, and spoke in a calm voice that clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Isn't this what unrequited love is all about? Always observing, always speculating, keeping every smile and gesture of the other person in your heart, reading it over and over again."

"Not daring to make a sound, not daring to disturb, like silently reciting a poem, only repeatedly chewing on each word in one's own heart... right?"

Li Zhi's gaze remained fixed on Shen Yuan, as if that light "Right?" was a question directed at him alone.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Yuan unconsciously swallowed. The boy's eyes flickered, as if he was carefully considering her words, yet he hesitated to speak.

The two stared at each other, a silent understanding filling the air, as if instantly filled by the metaphor of "silent reading."

He Zhiyu's gaze was fixed on this scene.

She forgot to touch her chopsticks, her heart suddenly tightened, and an inner storm erupted: "Ahhh! This is the feeling of that drooling gaze!"

That’s the feeling!
After Li Zhigang finished explaining the meaning of "silent reading" in "secret love," he stared straight at Shen Yuan and asked? This is practically a live performance!

The young author almost shouted out loud, but could only suppress his elation and scream silently in his heart.

As He Zhiyu screamed inwardly, Li Zhi's gaze shifted to the side, lightly sweeping over A-Jie, as if he could see through all of A-Jie's hidden thoughts.

"Right, Zhou Shaojie?"

Li Zhi's words were like a feather, gently tickling A Jie's heart, instantly mixing his previous ecstasy with an even deeper sense of excitement.

She understands me!
She understands me!
She really understands me!

The word "silent reading" perfectly encapsulates his cautiousness, his willingness to only interpret Zhuo Peipei's state of mind!
"Sister! Young Master Li! You are my own sister!" A-Jie said excitedly.

The air at the dinner table fell subtly silent once more, but this time it wasn't criticism; instead, everyone was drawn to Li Zhi's pointed explanation, and their eyes became somewhat playful.

Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the plate in front of him, and a familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding!"

Having spent time with Li Zhi recently, you've noticed that he often seems troubled.

After some questioning, Li Zhi told you the truth: he was just a little tired from work, and there was nothing seriously wrong.

Seeing her troubled expression, you hesitated for a moment, then reached out and hugged her, telling her that after work, you would go out and have fun for a few days.

[Li Zhi didn't reject you; he just made a sarcastic remark after the hug.]

"He used to never say a word, but now he dares to lay a hand on me."

Take Li Zhi on a short trip to a nearby city! Show her some different scenery. Reward: Li Zhi's memory fragment *1

[Mission Requirements: Leave your current city (Jiyang) and stay in another city for at least one night.]

Shen Yuan stared blankly at the task before him.

Goodness, Brother Tong, are you really that direct?

Just spend the night outside!

Is Brother Tongzi the kind of overnight stay I imagined?

Shen Yuan swallowed hard; he was really looking forward to it!

What are you looking forward to?!
Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi furtively.

What a load of rubbish! It's utterly useless!
Even if Li Bao were willing to stay out overnight, it would be impossible for her to share a room with him.

After glancing at the system task again, Shen Yuan felt relieved.

Oh well, anyway, they didn't say anything about sharing a room or anything.

Just as Shen Yuan was pondering, he heard Li Zhi's voice.

"What are you doing? Standing here instead of eating?"

Shen Yuan suddenly snapped out of his daze and saw Li Zhi looking at him. He blurted out, "I was thinking about whether I should go on a trip during the long holiday after the joint exam! I've been quite tired lately, so it would be a good time to relax."

He was taken aback as soon as he finished speaking.

The idea of ​​"taking her to see different scenery" from the system task slipped out of her mind.

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow, glancing at him with a half-smile: "Oh, so you're starting to enjoy life?"

Shen Yuan chuckled, then saw Li Zhi's gaze turn cold.

"Get your exam done first! It's on Thursday, don't let me think about anything else!"

"Yes!" Shen Yuan nodded repeatedly. To A-Jie and the others, his appearance perfectly fit the image of a "henpecked husband."

Shen Yuan glared at A-Jie and the others for their teasing looks.

"Look at my ass!"

After dinner, Shen Yuan took Li Zhi to the supermarket to buy ice cream, as usual.

The pretty girl hasn't had ice cream in so long and is really craving it.

Although Li Zhi wanted to eat all kinds of things, she knew that Shen Yuan couldn't buy too many for her, so in the end she chose the one she liked the most.

As for ice cream, Li Zhi felt that he could probably never get tired of it.

Even if she was truly tired of it, that was something she would only say when Shen Yuan tempted her to eat ice cream during her period, when she couldn't eat it.

……

Since the joint entrance examination adopts the college entrance examination model, all senior high school students received a message on Tuesday.

"After lunch, move all your books and stuff to classroom 305 on the third floor of the lab building. We'll have class there. Make sure you get everything done before the second period this afternoon!"

Although the fourth period on Tuesday morning is PE class, with the joint entrance exam approaching, the PE teacher and others will likely get sick on their own if they are sensible.

Want to attend PE class? No way!

Moving books is actually quite quick.

Shen Yuan slung his fully packed backpack over his shoulder, then deftly tucked a plastic book basket into his arms, his shoulders slumping slightly.

Li Zhize, standing next to him, seemed much more relaxed, carrying only a similarly bulging but smaller backpack.

It wasn't that she didn't want to take the book basket, but Shen Yuan directly refused it for her.

He said he would just make one more trip later.

"Let's go." Shen Yuan turned his head and called out, and the two of them turned and walked towards the direction of the laboratory building.

The afternoon sun dappled through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled patterns of light on the asphalt road.

Looking at the laboratory building not far ahead, Shen Yuan's thoughts stirred slightly, and with a hint of barely perceptible excitement, he whispered to Li Zhi, "When we get to the new classroom later, can we sit together?"

The seats in the laboratory building cannot be moved; there are eight seats in a row, which means that the seating order of Class 15 will be disrupted.

You can sit however you like.

Li Zhi didn't stop walking, but just turned her head to glance at him and let out a very soft hum from her nose.

"Sure, this will make it easier for me to supervise your studies. If you dare to slack off or get distracted again during the joint entrance exam review, hmph!"

She didn't finish explaining the consequences, but the "threat" in her unfinished words was self-evident.

Li Zhi raised his chin, but the corners of his mouth seemed to curve upwards in a slight arc.

Upon hearing Li Zhi's words, Shen Yuan felt the weight of the book basket under his arm seem to lighten, but he chuckled to himself.

The two adjusted their pace in perfect unison and walked side by side, their backpack straps swaying gently with the rhythm of their steps.

Shen Yuan made three trips and moved all of Li Zhi's books.

Inside the laboratory building, everyone's seats were quickly arranged.

In Shen Yuan's row, everyone else was a girl except for him.

In order are Shen Yuan, Li Zhi, He Zhiyu, and Zhuo Peipei.

Behind Shen Yuan and his group were A Jie, Yang Ze, Chen Mingyu, and Sun Xiansheng.

Teacher Monkey has been badly hurt by Ah Shuai recently, and is exhausted both physically and mentally. He no longer wants to be the strategist.

Actually, A-Jie originally wanted to sit behind Shen Yuan, but Yang Ze and the others moved the book directly behind Zhuo Peipei.

It is euphemistically called "power".

Of course, the real reason was to see Ah Jie looking so awkward sitting behind Zhuo Peipei.

That's all the fun we have at this silly boys' high school.

The students on duty are responsible for cleaning up the trash in the classroom, while the exam room setup for the entire teaching building will be handed over to the first and second year students.

There's nothing we can do; they get a day off earlier because of this joint exam.

I'm so happy to have a day off on Wednesday afternoon.

Of course, the happiness only lasted for a short time. When I came back on Sunday, I had to put the table back and then start my midterm exams.

There's no joy in it; it's just a postponement of the sadness of the midterm exams.

As for the senior year of high school, there was even less joy.

An endless stream of exam papers, an endless stream of exams.

"The exam seats have all been distributed. Please make a note of them. The admission tickets will also be distributed before the exam tomorrow. Class monitor, remember to come and pick them up from me. After each exam, collect all the admission tickets."

Old Zhou looked at Xu Ziqiong, and after seeing her nod, he continued, "You absolutely can't lose your exam admission ticket. Although it's just a piece of paper, if you lose it, I'm sorry, you might as well just go home and rest."

Before the words had even finished, a voice suddenly came from the corner: "Old Zhou, you don't trust us! Just give me your exam admission ticket, and I promise I won't lose it!"

The sound was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a small commotion and a few suppressed chuckles.

Old Zhou looked in the direction of the sound, pinpointed its source, and snorted irritably, "Heh, all of you behave yourselves. I know you're tired."

"You'll get a two-day weekend after the exams! Nobody give up now! Finish the exams properly! You'll get two days off after that!!"

Upon hearing Lao Zhou say that it would be two days, everyone in Class 15 showed expressions of surprise and delight.

"Really, Lao Zhou? Two days off?!"

"Holy crap? No classes on Saturday mornings?"

"The kind that's given out in the first and second years of high school?"

Listening to the barrage of questions from his students, Mr. Zhou nodded.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the kind of break for first and second year high school students, where you don't have to go to class on Saturday mornings, and you start resting after the exams on Friday until Sunday evening self-study!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cheer erupted in the classroom.

Someone shouted at the top of their lungs:
"Old Zhou, I love you!"

This shout was like igniting a powder keg, causing the whole class to burst into laughter, and more people joined in the commotion and shouted along.

"Old Zhou, I love you!"

"I love you to death, Lao Zhou!"

Old Zhou rolled his eyes at the students: "Get lost! Study hard! Do your best on the exam tomorrow!"

Amidst laughter and cheerful chatter, Shen Yuan turned to Li Zhi and tentatively asked, "Two days off, any thoughts of going out and having fun?"

As soon as Shen Yuan finished speaking, Li Zhi rolled her eyes at him: "The exam is tomorrow, why are you thinking about so many things?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuan didn't back down. Instead, he grinned and moved even closer, lowering his voice to say, "Hey, Li Bao, give me some motivation to go out and take the exam. How about I reward you with a day out after the exam?"

Li Zhi glanced at him and said irritably, "I have no money."

Shen Yuan chuckled: "It's alright, I have some."

Hearing this, Li Zhi smacked Shen Yuan on the head: "If you keep bothering me like this, I really won't agree to it anymore."

Shen Yuan's playful smile froze instantly.

The next second, as if a switch had been flipped, he quickly sat up straight, turned his head sharply towards the desk, and deftly pulled out his exercise book and pen.

"Review, review...review right now!"

That instant surrender almost made Li Zhi, who had been keeping a straight face, break down.

However, although Shen Yuan was engrossed in his exercises and pretended to be extremely serious, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face during the brief moments he was working on the problems.

That barely concealed smile was clearly visible on his face.
