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

Chapter 269 Li Zhi: I Will Fall in Love with You

"Don't stand behind the door... Go sit down at the desk first." Li Zhi poked Shen Yuan's arm with her fingertip.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly and readily agreed, "Sure, yes, Teacher Li~"

He released his embrace, but then took Li Zhi's wrist and pulled her into the room.

Walking to the large, soft sofa chair next to the desk, Shen Yuan didn't sit down. Instead, his gaze swept over the large, adorable dog doll on the carpet beside the bed.

He bent his knees and leaned back very naturally.

With a soft "plop," she landed awkwardly on the soft, thick belly of the giant dog doll, which was almost half her height, and sank in quite a bit.

The large dog plush toy was pressed down on its back, comically yet steadily bearing all his weight.

He deliberately adjusted his position, snuggling closer to Li Zhi's legs, tilting his head back and looking at her with a smug yet satisfied smile.

Seeing his smug look as he took possession of her doll, Li Zhi gave a light snort of annoyance.

"Idiot! I told you to sit on a chair, why are you sitting on the floor?"

As she spoke, she gently nudged Shen Yuan's ankle, which was dangling to his side, with her toe.

Shen Yuanhun didn't mind, and laughed, "No chair is as comfortable as this."

Looking at his contented appearance, and then at the large dog doll that had been squeezed out of shape, Li Zhi smiled helplessly, but did not insist that he get up.

She looked down at him, and the boy's sullenness was clearly visible in the lamplight.

Li Zhi's gaze fell on his figure, knees bent on the ground, at this posture, at this angle...

In an instant, a night without lights on, deep in my memory, vividly resurfaced.

He was sitting on the carpet beside her bed, looking up, just like that.

The burning sensation of his fingertips seemed to still linger on her ankle; the warmth of his palm in the darkness mingled with the cool friction of her stockings, and the foot that had been grabbed and curled up in panic…

The fluttering, embarrassed feeling in the darkness overlapped with the smug face under the bright lights, causing Li Zhi's lips to unconsciously curl into a smile that she herself didn't even realize.

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan, who was clinging to her doll and wouldn't budge.

She stopped standing next to him and turned around, gracefully sitting down on the edge of the bed.

Under the light, the girl's two slender legs dangled over the edge of the bed, her gaze naturally falling on the boy sitting on the large dog doll on the carpet.

Their eyes met silently in the warm white light.

The next second, Li Zhiwei raised her right foot slightly.

The toes encased in pantyhose hovered in mid-air for a moment, then the delicate bare ankle, along with the slightly taut arch of the foot, gently stepped on Shen Yuan's bent thigh muscle, carrying a hint of threat and an indescribable intimacy.

The warm, soft sensation underfoot was clearly felt through the fabric.

The smile on Shen Yuan's lips froze for a moment, and a deep, unfathomable look flashed in his eyes.

He lowered his head, looking at the foot that was so close to his leg, and said nothing, but his Adam's apple bobbed silently.

Li Zhi gave a light snort, then added a little more pressure with her foot, grinding the ground lightly, and her delicate chin lifted slightly.

"Shen Yuan, my legs are sore."

The girl's clear voice carried a hint of self-righteous complaint, and her spoiled and pampered nature was particularly evident in the closed room.

Shen Yuan looked up at her, a playful smile curving his lips, and a low chuckle escaped his throat.

"Your feet are sore? Li Bao, you haven't even washed them yet."

He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his gaze sweeping over her ankles, the sarcasm in his words unmistakable.

"Shen——Yuan——!"

Li Zhi's coral-colored face instantly spread from her cheeks to her neck, and the flames of embarrassment and annoyance suddenly ignited in her eyes, which had just been filled with a hint of coquettishness.

The shame and anger of being told she "didn't wash" exploded instantly, and her delicate arches drew an angry arc in the air.

The toes landed precisely and powerfully on the center of Shen Yuan's solid, burning chest!
"What! You think my feet smell bad?! I just asked you to massage my feet, not to do anything bad!"

The girl bit her lower lip tightly, and pressed her toe against his chest with a little more force through her pantyhose.

It was as if the warmth and force of her toes were used to nail him to the spot, accusing him of "rudeness".

Shen Yuan felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a slight tingling sensation that quickly spread from the spot where he had been touched by the toe.

The embarrassment and anger that burst forth from Li Zhi's watery eyes struck him directly, catching him off guard and causing him to gasp for breath.

The girl pressed her toes against Shen Yuan's chest, glared at him, and her voice trembled with anger.

"Why are you pretending to be so serious now?!"

She grew increasingly ashamed and indignant as she spoke, grinding her toes against his tense chest as if accusing him of hypocrisy.

"You did such outrageous things...?"

Shen Yuan groaned as he was stepped on.

The girl's angry and ashamed accusation was like a spark that ignited a fuse, instantly setting off the surging agitation in his chest.

He suddenly gripped her delicate ankle, his palm burning hot, his fingers tightening to firmly hold her slender joints in his warm palm.

Li Zhi felt a tightness around her ankle, and an irresistible force firmly fixed her calf in the air.

Before she could struggle or protest again, Shen Yuan's eyes had already lifted, locking onto her pretty face, which was flushed with shame and anger.

The playful smile on his lips vanished, replaced by an aggressive focus.

The boy's Adam's apple bobbed silently, his voice slightly lower than before, yet clear and resonant through the air.

"I'll press it."

He finished speaking briefly, and his other free hand reached out and grabbed her dangling foot without saying a word. His five fingers forcefully squeezed into her soft sole, completely taking control of her delicate arch.

"...Just bear with it."

"Woo?"

Li Zhi was taken aback by his sudden forcefulness, her voice trembling slightly with a hint of bewilderment.

"Endure what... Ouch—!"

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Yuan's large hand, which was wrapped around the sole of her foot, suddenly exerted force!

With hot, firm pressure, his fingertips massaged precisely and forcefully along the taut arch of her foot!
That force wasn't just perfunctory intimacy; it was a powerful effort to soothe away fatigue and soreness!
"Uh……"

A tingling, numb sensation, and a pleasurable pain exploded from the soles of my feet, rushing along the nerves in my calves and heading straight for my tailbone!

Caught off guard, Li Zhi felt as if he had been struck by an electric current, and his lower back went limp uncontrollably.

The girl's body suddenly leaned back, and if she hadn't been supporting herself with her arms, she would have almost fallen onto the bed.

She immediately bit her lower lip, forcefully suppressing the gasp that almost escaped her lips, turning it into a muffled gasp from her throat.

Shen Yuan didn't give her a chance to recover.

Those hands, which usually possessed amazing stamina for writing problems, now combined strength and skill as they kneaded the girl's delicate feet.

His thumb knuckle acted like a small pressure roller, continuously applying pressure to the tense muscles in her soles. The deep arch of her foot was rubbed back and forth by his fingertips, each massage bringing a burst of intense soreness.

"You...you idiot! Be...be gentle!"

Li Zhi finally couldn't hold back any longer. Under Shen Yuan's large hand, her body twisted slightly, trying to relieve the stimulation that had been amplified countless times.

Her toes curled up, trying to escape, but he held them even tighter, trapping them in his warm palms, unable to move.

Shen Yuan seemed not to hear it, or perhaps he did hear it but took the delicate protest as some kind of motivation.

His fingertips had left the sole of his foot, following the taut muscles of his instep upwards, reaching the slightly protruding side of his ankle bone.

This is the spot where he had previously rubbed his knuckles against something, and it's also the point where friction and fatigue are most likely to occur when wearing shoes.

He brought two fingers together, gathered his strength in his fingertips, and pressed precisely on the slightly sore and stiff muscle and ligament.

"Ugh—!" Li Zhi's scalp tingled instantly, and her slender waist reflexively tensed into a bow!

The sudden pressure not only pushed away the fatigue, but also brought a sharp stimulation!

The girl's fingers gripped the bed sheet beneath her tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Shen Yuan felt the muscles under his fingers tighten instantly and the girl's body react violently.

He paused slightly, but the pressure from his fingertips lessened a bit, and he changed from heavy pressure to steady, continuous kneading and circling on that sore spot.

His warm breath sprayed onto her smooth, firm calves. His voice was a few decibels lower and huskyer than before, carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern and a deeper, more magnetic quality.

“...My muscles are a bit tight; if I don’t massage them, they’ll be even more sore tomorrow.” His explanation was brief, more like stating an unchangeable fact.

Immediately, the pressure of the finger that was focused on massaging the acupoints on the ankle decreased slightly, as if it were providing a subtle soothing effect, but the heat from the fingertip was even more intense.

Li Zhi took a few quick breaths. The excruciating pain that made her tremble finally dissipated slowly and clearly under the continuous rubbing, replaced by a numbing and relaxing feeling with a warm current.

The tears in her eyes hadn't faded, but she had stopped struggling.

The girl's tense body gradually relaxed, but the foot held in Shen Yuan's palm still trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Like a small animal after a storm, it is both tired and comforted by the soothing and calming effect.

Shen Yuan's gaze slid from the corner of her eye to the arch of her foot, which was no longer tense.

The pressure of his fingertips became more supple and rhythmic, slowly moving upwards along the meridians of her calf, pinching towards the tighter Achilles tendon and calf muscle.

The only sounds in the room were the soft rubbing of Shen Yuan's fingertips against the soles of his socks, the girl's occasional gasps and suppressed moans, and the increasingly thick and intimate atmosphere between the two.

What he massaged seemed to soothe not only the soreness and numbness in the girl's legs and feet, but also the soft and shy heart of the young girl at that moment.

The feeling beneath my fingertips was firm yet possessed a unique suppleness characteristic of young girls.

Shen Yuan's palm covered her smooth and firm calves, where the muscles were also slightly stiff from a day of studying.

With a slight exertion of his fingers, his warm fingertips sank deep into the soft fabric of her stockings, the force penetrating the cloth and steadily reaching her taut muscles.

"Um……"

A short, nasal sound escaped Li Zhi's throat, as if the perfect pressure had soothed him to the core.

The soreness was vigorously kneaded away, transforming into a tingling, languid feeling that spread upwards along the nerves.

The leg that was pressing against Shen Yuan's chest loosened its grip and swayed gently, her toes tensing and then relaxing slightly.

Shen Yuan felt the smooth, slippery texture of his palm, the warm skin enveloping soft and elastic tissue.

His fingertips, with undeniable force, began to slowly rub and knead the girl's calves in circles, from bottom to top. Each kneading penetrated deep into the muscle, as if trying to squeeze all the fatigue out of the girl's calves.

The kneading process gradually moves upwards.

The warmth of her fingertips seeped through her pantyhose and was clearly imprinted on Li Zhi's sensitive skin.

The girl's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her breathing unconsciously became lighter.

The fingers that were gripping the sheets slowly relaxed, and her body completely slumped down against the support behind her, leaning limply against the headboard.

The calf he held in his palm was now obediently receiving his gentle, forceful caresses.

As the boy gently massaged her feet, the girl's toes unconsciously brushed against him.

The subtle friction sounds blended into the silence of the room, leaving only the soft, intertwined breathing of the two people.

Shen Yuan lowered his eyes, staring at the calf line covered by his palm.

He slowly raised his eyes, his gaze falling on Li Zhi's face.

Under the warm yellow light, most of the blush on the girl's cheeks had faded, leaving only a faint pink blush, like the afterglow of the sunset.

Those beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, revealing a relaxed and weary state of being completely unguarded.

A warm current rose along her meridians, making her legs and even her waist feel weak and powerless. She leaned against the headboard, her body slightly tilted, like a kitten basking in the warm sun with its belly exposed.

Looking at Li Zhi's appearance, Shen Yuan's heart suddenly softened.

He gently moved his hand away, his movements as soft as if he were caressing the most cherished porcelain.

Then, instead of standing up immediately, he remained seated on the carpet, leaning slightly forward.

His arm was draped over the edge of the bed, and his upper body naturally leaned against Li Zhi, who was relaxing and leaning against him.

The boy's warm breath gently brushed against her knees, which were dangling over the edge of the bed.

His gaze, like a gentle stream of water, flowed silently over Li Zhi's lightly moist lips, across her delicate chin and slender neck, finally settling on her eyelids.

"Li Bao?" He lowered his voice, the words rolling out of his throat as if in a whisper.

"...Is it still sour?"

Li Zhi's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she opened her misty, languid eyes to meet Shen Yuan's concerned gaze, which was close at hand.

She didn't speak, but simply nodded her delicate chin slightly, as if confirming a very minor fact.

Shen Yuan's gaze then moved down to the girl's other leg, which was still hanging down and untreated.

He chuckled very softly, with a knowing look and a tacit, gentle focus.

The next moment, his hand, which had just left, reached out again.

Without any extra words, a warm palm, carrying a familiar force, steadily covered the slightly protruding bone side of Li Zhi's left ankle.

"Mmm..." A faint nasal sound escaped from the girl's lips again, carrying a hint of sour satisfaction.

Her slender fingers unconsciously gripped the corner of the bed sheet beneath her.

Shen Yuan's fingertips began to knead skillfully, applying just the right amount of pressure to her taut calf muscles, moving upwards from the sore spot on the side of her ankle, like clearing a blocked stream, gradually climbing up her slender and firm calves.

Those nimble fingers carried a soothing warmth, gently easing the girl's tired muscles.

The warmth seeped into my skin, dispelling the lingering aches and pains, and the air in the room became even softer and quieter.

Li Zhi felt so comfortable that he almost sighed out loud.

The soreness in his legs gradually dissipated under his steady and gentle movements, replaced by an indescribable sense of peace and comfort.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze falling on the boy's focused profile.

The warm light softly outlined his well-defined jawline. He lowered his eyelashes, and all his attention seemed to be focused on the soft fabric beneath his palm.

A soft spot in my heart was unexpectedly touched by this continuous warmth.

Watching him intently massaging her feet and legs, Li Zhi clearly felt something quietly growing in her chest, warm and tender, with a hint of lingering sweetness that made her heart flutter.

She recalled his forceful "I'll press" earlier, and also remembered the gentle and considerate movements he made at this moment.

This feeling of being carefully cared for silently creeps around me like vines.

"idiot..."

The girl's voice unconsciously became extremely soft, breaking the silence of the room.

Shen Yuan paused slightly, looked up at her, and met her eyes, which looked particularly bright and clear under the light.

The emotions contained within were too complex, including a comfortable languor, a slight shyness, but more so an intense, almost overflowing, tender feeling.

Li Zhi looked at the questioning gaze he cast at her and parted her lips slightly.

She took a breath, her cheeks flushing red: "...Shen Yuan."

"You...you're so good to me..." Her small toes curled uncomfortably in his palm, tinged with a sweetness she herself didn't realize.

"...If this continues, I will fall in love with you."

Her gaze went straight into the depths of his eyes, where his slightly startled reflection was clearly visible.

The gentle warmth in the room suddenly intensified. Shen Yuan's fingers, which were kneading her ankle, tightened abruptly, not with force, but as if he were instantly grasping some most precious and rare treasure.

He leaned forward, almost touching her knees, and his upturned face held a smile full of tenderness.

His fingertips unconsciously slid along the taut arch of her foot, the movement as gentle as tracing the lines of her heart.

The boy's Adam's apple bobbed silently, and when he spoke again, his deliberately lowered voice carried a hoarseness as if it had been sanded down, and an intense emotion that seemed to burst from his chest.

"Idiot Li Zhi..."

His voice was filled with an irrepressible smile, yet also etched with a heavy sense of certainty and reverence.

"You're only falling in love with me now?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Shen Yuan seemed to be ignited by his own words, or as if he could no longer suppress the turbulent emotions surging within him.

He didn't let go of Li Zhi's ankle, and with a little effort, his tall figure stood up from the carpet.

Shen Yuan moved so close to her that their noses almost touched.

That familiar warmth rushed towards her, almost completely enveloping her.

Shen Yuan's warm hands cupped Li Zhi's somewhat bewildered face, his fingertips gently lifting her chin with undeniable force, forcing her to meet his burning gaze.

Time seemed to stand still in the room.

Li Zhi could clearly hear her own heart pounding in her ears, and looking into Shen Yuan's eyes, which were so close to hers, she saw an intense emotion she had never seen before.

Shen Yuan's voice was scalding hot, and every word clearly struck her heart.

"Li Zhi, I've been in love with you for a long time."

Looking at the light reflected in Shen Yuan's eyes, Li Zhi suddenly chuckled, her fingertips tracing his slightly reddened earlobe: "When did it start? When... did you fall in love with me?"

Shen Yuan gazed at her, his smile deepening.

The boy's fingertips gently brushed against the girl's chin, and he lowered his voice as she trembled slightly.

"It must have been... on New Year's Eve..."

Before Li Zhi could react, Shen Yuan's warm breath brushed against her ear.

"My face turned even redder then than it does now. That's when I realized I was in love with you..."

Li Zhi's pupils constricted sharply as she recalled the embarrassing moment she hid her hand that night, and a burning sensation instantly spread from her neck to the tips of her ears: "Shen Yuan! You—"

Even the most oblivious girl should have realized what was happening by now.

The "falling in love" that Shen Yuan mentioned is actually a verb.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Zhi, filled with shame and indignation, clenched her fist and punched his shoulder.

Shen Yuan seized her wrist, and even though she pounded her other hand on her chest, she didn't budge. Instead, he used the force to pull her down onto the bed.

Li Zhi gasped as she sank into the soft bedding, her hands held above her head by one hand. Shen Yuan leaned closer, his breath hot against her ear.

"Feeling good after the massage? It's my turn."

Li Zhi's kicking legs were pinned down by Shen Yuan's knee, rendering him completely immobile.

The girl bit her lower lip and glared at the boy on top of her. Her wrists and legs, which were pinned down by him, made her almost completely unable to move. All that was left was the rapid heaving of her chest and the burning heat on her cheeks.

Li Zhi lowered his voice: "Shen Yuan! Don't do anything reckless! Do you hear me!"

She tried desperately to break free of his wrists, which were pinned above her head, but her body was pinned down by him. She could only futilely twist her body slightly in protest.

The girl's eyelashes trembled rapidly, betraying her inner tension.

Although their relationship was already clear, being in her own room at home, especially with her parents right outside the door, this intimate position of being pinned down on the bed still made her heart tremble, and she instinctively wanted to draw a "safe line".

Looking into the girl's eyes, which were misty yet trying to remain calm, Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice was low and reassuring: "I know."

His gaze swept over her reddened nose and tightly pursed lips, and his crisp "I know" seemed to instantly suppress any possible "mischief" he might have intended.

Li Zhigang relaxed his tense muscles slightly because of his agreement, and tried to warn him with his eyes again to let go quickly.

But Shen Yuan acted faster than she thought.

Shen Yuan leaned down and whispered in her ear, their breaths almost mingling: "...I'll kiss you, that's not considered inappropriate, is it?"

Before she could finish speaking, and before Li Zhi could fully grasp the line between "not being reckless" and "not being outrageous," his lips had already pressed down precisely on hers, silencing any protests or coquettish complaints she was about to utter.

Li Zhi's pupils contracted slightly, and the warm touch on his lips sent a jolt through his body like an electric current.

"--Well!"

A short sob was trapped between his lips and teeth.

The girl's body tensed instinctively like a fully drawn bow, her fingertips sinking deep into the soft mattress.

But when that possessive yet infinitely gentle aura completely enveloped them, the struggling force seemed to be drained away, and they softly dissipated.

Her wide-open eyes closed uncontrollably, her long eyelashes trembling violently like butterfly wings before finally drooping completely, covering all the shyness and bewilderment in her eyes.

In the enclosed room, the soft light from the wall lamps quietly falls.

Only the boy's slightly heavy breathing and the girl's soft, broken sobs as she was kissed intertwined and diffused in the warm air.

The city lights outside the window flowed silently, and the warm light from the living room shining through the crack in the door seemed like an invisible wall, defining their own little world at that moment.

After an unknown amount of time, their tightly intertwined lips finally loosened slightly.

In the dim light, the boy and girl's rapid, warm breaths mingled together. Li Zhi's cheeks were flushed with an intoxicating blush, her eyes were shimmering with water, and her lips still had a slight dampness on them.

Shen Yuan propped himself up slightly, his fingertips lingeringly brushing against her soft, rosy lips, a satisfied and smug smile playing on his lips, his bright eyes fixed on her misty gaze.

He leaned closer, his forehead against hers, his warm breath brushing against the fine hairs on her face, his voice hoarse from the kiss and carrying a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

"Are you in love with me now?"

Li Zhi's long eyelashes trembled violently like butterfly wings. After finally recovering, being stared at with such a direct and expectant gaze and asked such a question, her embarrassment and annoyance returned.

She abruptly turned her burning face to the side, trying to block Shen Yuan's scorching gaze with her hand. Her voice, soft and sweet from the kiss, yet stubbornly resistant, rang out clearly between them.

"...I don't love him."

Shen Yuan chuckled softly, showing no sign of being discouraged. He clearly saw the blush creep up to the tips of her ears as she turned her head.

He relentlessly followed her gaze, deliberately asking, "You really don't love me?"

As he spoke, the hand that had brushed against her lips began to restlessly knead her burning earlobe.

"If I don't love you, I just don't love you!"

Li Zhi felt both shy and itchy from his kneading of her earlobe, and finally couldn't help but raise her hand and slap away Shen Yuan's mischievous hand.

She turned her head and glared at him, her watery eyes clearly reflecting the boy's smug smile.

"...You bad guy!"

The last two words almost carried a hint of gritted teeth, yet they were softly mixed with the girl's shyness and annoyance, like a powerless accusation, or more like a sweet and intimate acquiescence.

Shen Yuan laughed out loud.

Instead of backing away, he reached out and pinched her chin, his thumb lightly brushing against her slightly swollen lower lip.

The warm light highlighted the mischievous glint in his eyes as he leaned closer, his nose almost touching hers.

"So stubborn..." His Adam's apple bobbed, his breath brushing against her flushed cheeks, his deliberately lowered voice laced with a triumphant smile.

"Looks like you didn't get enough kissing earlier?"

Li Zhi's eyelashes trembled suddenly, and her lower lip, which was pressed against by his fingertips, felt slightly hot.

Before she could refute, the boy's hot breath fell heavily, silencing all her unfinished shy whispers.
