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

Chapter 201 is Li Zhi at this moment, his Li Zhi (bonus chapter combining three chapters)

Shen Yuan took Li Zhi's hand and walked up the escalator, which slowly ascended.

My gaze crossed the river in front of me and settled steadily on the impressive cluster of buildings on the opposite side.

The red brick walls appear heavy and solemn under the sunlight, while the modern glass curtain wall exudes vitality.

Sunlight spills onto the vast lawns and tree-lined paths on campus, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow.

Students came and went in twos and threes with their backpacks on their backs, and the huge outline of the school building stretched clearly in the distance under the blue sky.

Shen Yuan looked at the familiar scene opposite him, his eyes brightening slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible anticipation and... a kind of pre-prepared confidence.

Following his gaze, Li Zhi naturally saw the vast, seemingly endless campus across the way.

The girl's beautiful eyes opened slightly, her pupils reflecting the seemingly endless expanse of red brick buildings and lush green fields.

After a while, she turned her head and looked at Shen Yuan beside her, whose lips had unconsciously turned up, and clicked her tongue in annoyance.

"Hey, Shen Yuan, are you an idiot?"

Li Zhi raised her hand and gently poked Shen Yuan's stiff arm with one finger, her tone a mix of speechlessness and habitual grumbling.

"Isn't there something wrong with your arrangements? Of the other university campuses in Hangzhou, isn't Huajiachi closer? It took almost an hour to get here by subway!! Are you out of your mind?!"

Shen Yuan then turned his gaze to the slightly reproachful girl beside him.

He raised his hand to rub the back of his neck and chuckled, "It's close... but we're not really familiar with each other! We're only familiar with this place!"

As he spoke, he pointed his thumb again toward the magnificent gate of Zhejiang University's Zijingang campus, his eyes wide with confidence.

"Come on, let me take you to get some exposure."

"You idiot, you're the one who needs to be taught!"

Shen Yuan chuckled, then took Li Zhi's hand and walked towards the gate.

On the newly built main gate, four powerful red characters on a white background stand out prominently.

Many people are taking photos on the large lawns on both sides.

Shen Yuan suddenly stopped, looked at the crowd on the lawn, and said to Li Zhi with a grin, "Li Bao, want to go check in?"

Li Zhi glanced at him sideways, rolled her eyes, and snorted irritably, "What's with the clocking in? You even suggested something so boring. Let's go!"

After saying that, she took Shen Yuan's hand and walked straight into the school gate.

And so the two walked into the Zhejiang University campus.

Light and shadow danced among the lush green grass.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi strolled hand in hand along the tree-lined path.

Tall trees lined both sides, their leaves rustling in the breeze and casting dappled shadows.

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you somewhere."

After saying that, Shen Yuan pulled Li Zhi to the place where the shared bicycles were parked.

Li Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Hey, where are you going? You're being so secretive. Don't tell me you're going to some touristy spot or something!"

Shen Yuan stopped in front of the bicycle, turned around and grinned: "The library!"

"Huh?" Li Zhi was taken aback, blinked in confusion, and asked in a slightly puzzled voice, "Why go to the library?"

Shen Yuan reached out and patted the shared bicycle next to him: "Isn't this to let you get a taste of the culture? I'll also show you how I got to Zhejiang University back then."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi rolled his eyes at Shen Yuan.

But the girl's body betrayed her; she immediately took out her phone, scanned the QR code, and unlocked the shared bike.

Then the two of them rode their bikes slowly through the campus of Zhejiang University.

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, who was slowly pedaling his bicycle beside him, and a smile appeared on his lips.

His purpose was actually very simple.

Shen Yuan held Li Zhi's hand, and the two walked lightly into the huge library study room.

The morning sunlight streamed through the glass window, and the air was filled with the scent of ink from books and the quiet rustling of writing.

Shen Yuan had a clear goal and led her directly to the area near the window.

The third row was still empty, and Shen Yuan marveled at his good luck.

The two of them stood by the table by the window.

Shen Yuan leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe, his voice extremely low.

"You sit over there."

The seat Shen Yuan pointed to was exactly the same seat Li Zhi had been sitting in during those fragmented memories.

Li Zhi was somewhat bewildered by his sudden intimacy and nonsensical words.

She blinked, and after confirming that Shen Yuan was indeed pointing to the window seat, she couldn't help but whisper a question in a teasing tone.

"What? Shen Yuan, you brought me to the library specifically so I could do my homework here?"

Shen Yuan nodded and said softly, "Yes, Li Bao, sit here for a while."

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan's eager and persistent eyes with a hint of confusion, but in the end he gave in to him, gently pulled out the wooden chair in the third row by the window, and sat down.

The bright morning sunlight streamed through the window and gently spilled onto the table.

Li Zhi's long hair was casually tied behind her head, with a few strands falling down her neck, shimmering with a light golden light in the sunlight.

At this moment, Shen Yuan, who was sitting opposite her, froze.

The moment his figure sank into the chair opposite Li Zhi, the space and time before his eyes seemed to suddenly twist and fold.

The morning light blurred and diffused, transforming into the intense slanting sunlight of dusk.

The bright and vibrant Li Zhi before my eyes began to sway and fade slightly.

In an instant, another familiar silhouette overlapped on top of it—that of Li Zhi, a college student who had long been frozen in the river of time.

He seemed to see Li Zhi again, but those eyes no longer held the confusion and liveliness of this moment; instead, they held a kind of almost sighing loneliness and a bewildered gaze into the distance.

The sounds of reality and the silent loneliness of memory strangely intertwined at this moment.

Shen Yuan's heart felt as if it had been forcefully struck, and a strong throbbing sensation pierced through time and space.

The light and shadow before my eyes flickered and swayed violently, carrying a scorching heat.

Shen Yuan clearly realized this.

At this moment, he finally sat back in the seat that had once caused him so much heartache across the years.

This time, however, they were not bystanders, nor ghostly voyeurs, but truly sitting on the opposite bank.

Li Zhi looked up and caught the fleeting moment of distraction and turbulent emotions in Shen Yuan's eyes. She frowned slightly and gently shattered the illusion in his eyes.

"Hey, Shen Yuan? What are you spacing out for?"

Li Zhi's voice suddenly pulled Shen Yuan back to reality.

The dazed feeling vanished instantly, and the lonely silhouette under the setting sun, exuding an untouchable aura, faded away completely like mist meeting the light.

The library was bathed in the vibrant morning sunlight streaming through the window.

No longer separated by an impenetrable veil of time, nor by the figure in my memory gazing into the distance alone, with a heavy sigh.

Right in front of him.

Her long hair was tied back, with a few unruly strands falling to the side of her neck, tinged a soft gold by the sunlight.

Those eyes, slightly widened in confusion, were looking at him with bewilderment.

Her slightly furrowed brows carried a hint of complaint, while her cheeks glowed with a healthy rosy hue.

This is his knowledge of Li Zhi.

This is Li Zhi at this moment.

Fresh, bright, and within reach.

At that moment, it felt as if a thousand words were stuck in my throat, a sense of relief, relief, and unspoken appreciation.

Finally, all these surging emotions transformed into the most straightforward and gentlest whisper, carrying a hint of lingering daze.

"I wasn't spacing out..."

Shen Yuan looked at her, his voice as soft as if afraid of disturbing something: "I just think you look really beautiful right now."

Li Zhi was taken aback, and then a blush rose on her face.

The pretty girl lifted her foot from under the table and gently kicked Shen Yuan's shin.

"Don't give me a meltdown first thing in the morning!"

Looking at the vibrant young girl before him, Shen Yuan's face broke into a bright smile.

Just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Ding!"

You choose to revisit familiar places with Li Zhi. While strolling around the Zhejiang University campus with him, you ask him where he used to go on campus. Li Zhi takes you to a place you've seen in fragments of your memories.

You sit in your library seat, looking at Li Zhi in front of you, and a feeling of感慨 (gan3kai3, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection) washes over you; you feel you've been far too late.

However, time has passed, and now she is right in front of you.

[Accompanying Li Zhi through the Zhejiang University campus from different perspectives. Reward: Focus (Beginner).]

[Focus (Beginner): Enters a focused state more quickly; efficiency improves during a focused state. After prolonged periods of focused concentration, fatigue increases significantly upon exiting the focused state.]

Shen Yuan was slightly taken aback. Looking at the system task in front of him, he quickly realized what he needed to do.

The next second, Shen Yuan stood up from his seat, his movements gentle yet firm.

Li Zhi's gaze followed his figure, a mixture of confusion and habitual wariness.

What the hell is this guy doing?

Shen Yuan walked around the table and, under Li Zhi's slightly scrutinizing gaze, sat down directly in the seat next to her.

Their shoulders touched lightly, and the morning sunlight streamed in through the window, making the glimmers of light dancing on Li Zhi's hair seem even brighter.

Shen Yuan turned to the side, his gaze fixed on Li Zhi's face, his expression more serious than ever before, his voice low and gentle.

"Li Bao, I was just joking. You look even better from this angle, even better than before."

Li Zhi was taken aback. The next second, the girl let out a haughty snort.

"What are you saying? When have I ever been unattractive?"

After speaking, she deliberately turned her head to look out the window, her long hair swaying as she revealed her slightly red ear tips, the light and shadow flowing in the quiet of the library.

Shen Yuan looked at her profile, a smile spreading across his face.

The so-called different perspectives mean that at this moment, Shen Yuan no longer observes the reflection of memories from across the river, but stands truly beside her, as a companion, allowing time to settle into new echoes in the footsteps of walking side by side.

The two walked along the tree-lined path, downstairs from the teaching building.

Shen Yuan did not take Li Zhi into any classroom, but instead strolled slowly in the corridors between the teaching buildings and in the open square.

Sunlight streams through the tall glass building, casting long, geometric patches of light.

Shen Yuan's gaze would occasionally sweep over certain corridor exits or stairwell corners, where perhaps Li Zhi, the one from his fragmented memories, had faced a sudden confession.

At this moment, he looked at Li Zhi, who was calmly surveying his surroundings, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

No boy abruptly blocked their way, no conversations were unclear due to the passage of time, only the two of them left their reflections side by side in the crowd.

He tightened his grip on her hand, as if trying to silently dispel any lingering awkwardness and loneliness from her memories.

Next, Shen Yuan led Li Zhi toward the student apartment area.

They didn't approach the entrance, but stopped at a distance on the sidewalk in front of a modern dormitory building with large glass curtain walls. Shen Yuan's gaze fell on the clean and bright eaves and glass doors.

Images from fragmented memories flooded my mind at an inopportune moment.

He glanced at the ceiling almost instinctively.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, with not a single cloud in sight.

Shen Yuan turned his head to the side, and Li Zhi was quietly gazing at the building beside him, the sunlight shining on her slightly upturned eyelashes, making them sparkle.

There was no gloom or anxiety of waiting on her face, only a faint hint of anticipation for university life.

Shen Yuan breathed a silent sigh of relief. This time, she was no longer a silhouette in the rain.

And he was right beside her.

"The dormitory building looks really nice."

Li Zhi nodded: "I wonder what boarding school life will be like."

"If you want, you can actually live on campus in the second half of the year."

Shen Yuan paused for a moment, then continued, "If you're scared, I can stay at school with you."

Li Zhi rolled her eyes: "Come on, I'd rather commute."

Shen Yuan smiled and glanced at his phone.

"It's almost time, shall we go grab some lunch?"

"Yeah, I'm hungry." After saying that, Li Zhi complained to Shen Yuan, "You didn't come here to have fun, you clearly brought me here for physical training."

After cycling through the campus, the two arrived at the entrance of a massive building.

It was a canteen at Zhejiang University, and also the place where Shen Yuan saw Li Zhi frequently appearing in the fragments of his memory.

The aroma of food and the hustle and bustle of people emanating from the cafeteria already created the lively atmosphere of mealtime.

Standing at the entrance, Li Zhi could almost see the rising steam and densely packed tables inside through the glass door.

Almost reflexively, the image of that lonely scene—a bowl of beef rice and a cold-light cell phone—flashed through Shen Yuan's mind.

“Let’s go,” Shen Yuan said with a deliberately relaxed tone.

"Go check out what good food is available at Zhejiang University's cafeteria these days. This time it's on me, it's yours..." He paused deliberately, a hint of hesitation in his eyes as he looked at Li Zhi.

"How about a beef rice bowl?"

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan: "Why don't you eat beef rice at school if you want to eat it?! Are you an idiot, Shen Yuan?!"

Hearing these words, the last trace of bitterness from memories in Shen Yuan's heart finally dissipated.

He laughed and forcefully pulled Li Zhi's hand up.

"Come on! I'll take you to eat something delicious. Order whatever you want!"

Shen Yuan's bold declaration of "order whatever you want to eat" still echoed in their ears, but the scene before them left the two high school students a little bewildered.

In the huge space, rows of bright food pick-up windows extend outwards, offering a variety of choices in addition to the regular cafeteria food.

The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.

Just moments ago, Shen Yuan was giving orders and pointing out the flaws in the world. But now, looking at the dazzling array of windows, his Adam's apple bobbed unconsciously, and a clear look of bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

"Uh..." He opened his mouth, "This... Zhejiang University's cafeteria... has such a wide variety of food!"

Li Zhi stood beside him, her beautiful eyes also scanning among the many windows.

Decision paralysis, though late, has arrived.

Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Shen Yuan finally understood how rare it was that his childhood sweetheart was "easy to raise".

When faced with an overwhelming number of choices, the ability to quickly identify a safe zone and hold it for an extended period is indeed a form of survival wisdom.

"Have you... decided which window to go to?" Shen Yuan turned his head and looked at Li Zhi with a hint of seeking help.

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at him, but her expression also carried a hint of helplessness: "Hey, you're the one who's treating, you're the one who's showing me the way! Didn't you promise to take me to eat something delicious? Now you're asking me?"

Shen Yuan, exposed as a fraud, chuckled awkwardly, his earlier confidence vanishing completely.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision: "How about... we just wander around for a bit? We'll decide what to do next if we see anything that catches our eye?"

"That's all we can do." Li Zhi sighed and nodded resignedly.

So, starting from the entrance of the cafeteria, the two of them, like two lost little animals, slowly walked forward with the flow of people.

I would stop and take a closer look at every window I passed.

"The sweet and sour pork looks so tempting..."

"That braised bamboo shoots look pretty good too?"

"Wow, they even have soup simmered in earthenware pots..."

"The fried noodles look very wok-hei (wok aroma)..."

"There's a second floor too..."

The two pointed at the various dishes, whispered among themselves, and hesitated.

I salivated as I looked at the delicious-looking food on other people's trays, but when it came time to decide where to line up, I was faced with a dilemma.

Ultimately, the two made a very reluctant choice.

"Beef rice bowl?"

Li Zhi put his hands on his hips and sighed helplessly, "I give up..."

She glanced at the window she had just passed, then shook her head resignedly.

"Alright, alright, let's have beef rice bowl..."

Shen Yuan looked at the beautiful girl whose face was full of compromise, and his face instantly lit up with a smile he couldn't hold back.

Seeing him smile, and thinking about how the two of them had dragged things out for so long only to end up back where they started, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile too.

"Shen Yuan, are you an idiot? You brought me all this way just to eat a bowl of rice?"

"This is great! Let's go! Let's find something to eat first, I'm starving."

Shen Yuan took Li Zhi's hand and walked towards the window of the beef rice bowl restaurant.

A short while later, the two of them, carrying plates filled with beef rice bowls, casually found an empty seat and sat down.

The two picked up their chopsticks, glanced at each other, and took their first bite almost simultaneously.

"what?"

"Um……?"

Li Zhi slowed down her chewing, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Shen Yuan also subconsciously stopped eating.

"This beef..."

Li Zhi picked up another piece, examined the color of the sauce coating, and put it in her mouth: "It seems... to be better than the ones at our school?"

Shen Yuan nodded.

In the fragments of memory, it's really not her fault that Li Zhi always eats beef rice bowls.

The taste is indeed quite good.

Li Zhi didn't say anything more, but took another big bite, his cheeks puffing out slightly, showing his approval with his actions.

Sitting opposite, Shen Yuan watched the girl diligently eating with her head down, and his smile deepened. He also buried his head and began to enjoy his meal.

The two quickly finished their beef rice bowls. Shen Yuan got up, quickly cleared away the plates, and together with Li Zhi, put the tableware in the recycling area.

Stepping out of the cafeteria, you are greeted by the lazy afternoon sunlight on campus.

A gentle breeze rustled through the tree-lined path, and the lawn was less crowded than when we arrived. The air still carried the lingering aroma of food.

Li Zhi couldn't help but turn her head and give Shen Yuan a disgruntled look.

"Hey, Shen Yuan, I'm telling you, you traveled all that way from Jiyang, only to circle around the cafeteria window just to get me a bowl of beef rice? Are you an idiot?"

As the girl spoke, she deliberately poked Shen Yuan's arm with her finger, as if to emphasize the absurdity of the decision, but the smile in her eyes betrayed her teasing nature.

Despite being scolded by her, Shen Yuan showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he smiled and adopted a self-righteous expression.

"Oh? Didn't you say it tasted better than the ones at our school when you were eating it? Just tell me, did it taste good or not!"

Li Zhi was taken aback by his question, but still retorted defiantly, "So what if it tastes good?"

After saying that, the girl quickened her pace and walked forward, her long hair swaying gently in the wind, light and shadow dancing on her hair. She was clearly angry, but it looked more like she was being coquettish.

Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi's retreating figure, his smile deepening. He took a few steps to catch up and reached out to grasp her hand.

Honestly, the idea of ​​someone traveling all the way from Jiyang to Zhejiang University just to eat a bowl of beef rice bowl sounds pretty absurd.

But isn't it normal for childhood sweethearts to do such outrageous things?
"Hey, you idiot Shen Yuan, where are we going now?"

Shen Yuan felt the soft fingers gently squeezing his palm and pondered his next move.

"Let's go to the hotel first to drop off our things, carrying a bag is too cumbersome. Then we can go to West Lake, and after that, we can go to Lakeside Yintai for a stroll."

Shen Yuan seemed to have thought of something interesting. He turned his head to look at Li Zhi, raised his chin slightly, and said with a hint of youthful spirit and teasing, "Hehe, I want to see if my title as the King of Claw Machines in Jiyang still works in Hangzhou!"

As he spoke, he gripped her hand tightly, as if he were already eager to try.

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at his sudden boast, but showed no intention of pulling away from the hand that Shen Yuan was holding.

The two continued walking along the lush green campus paths.

After leaving the gates of Zhejiang University, I walked along the route I had come from towards the subway.

Just as he was about to leave the school, Shen Yuan stopped in his tracks and involuntarily turned back to look at the campus that was gradually receding into the distance.

Scenes from fragmented memories flooded back, but were quickly drowned out by the voice of the girl beside him.

A bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.

Those who were once bystanders have become fellow travelers.

This time, she was no longer alone, and he was no longer a ghost behind a thin veil.

All the missed opportunities on the other timeline have now turned into a source of relief.

【mission completed! 】

[Accompany Li Zhi through the Zhejiang University campus from different perspectives. Reward: Focus (Beginner)! (Completed)]

Shen Yuan looked at his newly acquired skill and suddenly had a brain fart.

If it's possible to enter a state of focus more quickly, then can't it also help to focus on other things more quickly?

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan subconsciously looked at Li Zhi.

Looking at the beautiful girl's profile, Shen Yuan suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Wow, that's fast.

I liked it at first sight.

Li Zhi noticed his fixed gaze and immediately turned her head away.

Upon seeing Shen Yuan's expression, the girl immediately showed a look of disgust.

"You idiot Shen Yuan, you look like a perverted freak, tone it down!"

Shen Yuan chuckled, offering no explanation, but simply tightened his grip on her hand.
