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

Chapter 307 started acting recklessly as soon as it came out.

The high-speed train accelerated smoothly, and the city buildings outside the window were gradually replaced by rolling fields and hills.

After a brief transfer, the two embarked on their journey again.

When the sign for "Qiandao Lake Station" came into view, Li Zhi gently nudged Shen Yuan's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "We're here!"

Stepping off the platform, the cool breeze of early summer evening, carrying moisture, caressed my face, and I could already smell the freshness of the lake area in the air.

Shen Yuan didn't take a taxi because the hotel he was staying at had a shuttle bus.

The high-speed train arrived at the station just in time for Shen Yuan to board the hotel shuttle bus.

Li Zhi looked at the hotel name on the shuttle bus, then turned to Shen Yuan: "Eh? This one? I read in a travel guide that it had pretty good reviews, with amazing scenery, but..."

She paused, gently poked Shen Yuan's arm with her fingertip, and lowered her voice, tinged with a hint of hesitation: "...It doesn't seem cheap either?"

“We’re out having fun,” Shen Yuan said, turning his head to look at her with a smile. “Comfort is the most important thing. Haven’t you been saying you wanted to see a lake-view room for ages? This place is said to have an amazing view.”

His fingers gently squeezed her shoulder in a comforting way.

Li Zhi leaned against him, feeling the steady heartbeat from his chest. Her concern about the price was instantly overshadowed by her anticipation of the beautiful scenery to come.

The pretty girl snorted, a hint of smug satisfaction in her voice: "Hmph, anyway, someone's got plenty of money, right, Young Master Shen?"

As the car drove along the lakeside road, the vast expanse of Qiandao Lake unfolded under the afterglow of the setting sun, with golden scales shimmering on the water.

Li Zhi pressed her cheek against the car window, her eyes sparkling as she watched the silhouettes of the islands flashing by outside, pointing excitedly.

After getting out of the car, Shen Yuan led Li Zhi to the front desk.

"Hello, check-in is here. We have a reservation." He handed over their ID cards.

The receptionist smiled sweetly and her fingers flew across the keyboard: "Yes, sir, a deluxe lake-view suite has been reserved for you. Please confirm that it's for two nights, is that correct?"

“Yes, two nights.” Shen Yuan nodded.

The formalities were completed quickly.

The receptionist smiled at the two of them and said, "We hope you and your partner have a pleasant stay."

Li Zhi stood beside him, her gaze unable to resist curiously surveying the exquisite lobby. When she heard the term "partner," her fair ears turned slightly red, but the corners of her mouth quietly curved upwards.

Shen Yuan retrieved his ID and room key, then looked down at Li Zhi beside him, only to meet her gaze.

"Let's go, let's officially begin our graduation trip."

The two walked side by side toward the elevator, their figures blending into the comfortable yet expensive vacation atmosphere.

Pushing open the door, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows instantly bring the vast expanse of Qiandao Lake right before your eyes.

Li Zhi let out a small gasp, let go of Shen Yuan's hand, and rushed to the window, her eyes shining brightly: "Wow—! So beautiful!"

Shen Yuan watched her cheerful figure as she walked away, a smile unconsciously creeping onto his lips. He then dragged their luggage inside and settled it in.

After putting away his luggage, Shen Yuan quietly walked up behind her and gently wrapped his arms around the girl's slender waist from behind.

His chin gently brushed against the top of Li Zhi's soft hair, his warm breath caressing her earlobe, his deep voice tinged with laughter as he asked clearly:

"Li Bao, do you like it?"

Li Zhi leaned into his warm and firm embrace.

She didn't turn around, but gazed at the breathtaking scenery of the lake and mountains outside the window, feeling the strong arms around her waist and the steady heartbeat in his chest.

After a moment of silence, the girl turned her head.

Li Zhi looked up, his clear eyes, which were filled with the beauty of the lake and mountains, now reflected only his own image.

Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered, and the smile in her eyes was pure and radiant.

"Yes, I like it!"

She pressed her body closer, her delicate chin slightly raised, and added, each word dripping with honey-like sweetness:

"...I really like it!"

The two snuggled together by the bed, and after resting for a while, hunger began to rise.

It's already 1:30, and the two of them haven't even had lunch yet.

After lunch, Li Zhi couldn't wait to set off.

"Beer Town! The travel guides say there are lots of great photo spots!"

"Okay, I'll listen to Teacher Li."

The afternoon sun was just right, with a slightly lazy warmth.

The two hailed a taxi and soon arrived at the beer town.

As soon as you get off the bus, a rich and unique exotic atmosphere washes over you.

The colorful European-style buildings are arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner, and a huge beer barrel sculpture stands endearingly at the entrance.

There were many tourists on the street, most of whom, like them, wore relaxed and carefree smiles.

"Shen Yuan, look at that windmill!"

Like a fawn released back into the mountains, Li Zhi ran briskly towards a colorful windmill hut adorned with flowers. Her fair cheeks glowed with a healthy rosy hue in the sunlight, and her ponytail bounced behind her head as she ran.

"Come take my picture!"

She turned around, her back to the windmill, and made a playful peace sign in Shen Yuan's direction, her smile dazzlingly bright.

Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with a gentle smile as he raised his phone: "Okay."

He patiently adjusted the angle, searching for the composition that best captured her radiance at that moment.

The sunlight outlined her slender figure, with a fairytale-like colorful town in the background. The pure joy in the girl's eyes was the most beautiful scenery in the lens.

For the next hour, the entire beer town became Li Zhi's photo studio.

The two made various expressions, some in sync and some funny, at the camera, their laughter echoing through the exotic streets.

At eighteen or nineteen years old, they are full of boundless energy.

Moreover, they are just high school graduates.

"Let's go, let's go!" Li Zhi looked at the time on her phone and tugged at Shen Yuan's sleeve anxiously.

"The travel guide says the sunset at Tianyu Mountain is absolutely spectacular! The best view is from the lighthouse at the top of the mountain; if you go any later, you'll miss it!"

Shen Yuan responded, took her hand in return, hailed a taxi at the entrance of the town, and headed straight for Tianyu Mountain.

When they arrived at the mountaintop viewing platform, they found that many tourists, like them, had already gathered there.

The enormous setting sun, like a molten golden ball, was slowly sinking into the distant horizon where the water and sky met.

It burned, completely igniting the surrounding clouds, from the most fiery golden yellow to a deep orange-red...

The light streaks, like an overturned palette, splashed and diffused wildly across the lake and sky.

The lake water was reflected in a brilliant light, as if it were not water flowing, but molten gold.

The outline of the distant mountains was edged with a flowing gold by the setting sun, and the islands became silhouettes floating on golden silk.

"so beautiful!"

Li Zhi held her breath and murmured, her beautiful eyes reflecting the most magnificent scene in the world, sparkling with pure amazement and intoxication.

Shen Yuan was also awestruck by the magnificent sunset, but his gaze was more drawn to the profile of the girl beside him, which was gilded by the setting sun.

The sunset glow tinged her hair with a rosy hue, the warm light softening her delicate features. Her eyes, reflecting the rosy clouds, were more captivating than any scenery. "Yes, it's truly beautiful," Shen Yuan's deep voice whispered in her ear, his arm gently encircling her waist, pulling her closer to him.

He took out his phone and switched to the front-facing camera.

Li Zhi immediately understood and adjusted his posture accordingly, leaning his head slightly against his shoulder.

A blissful and content smile spread across her face as she gazed at the sunset beyond the camera lens, as if she were looking at the person beside her who gave her this sense of fulfillment.

"Click."

The phone captured this moment.

The golden sunset, like a natural curtain, cast a beautiful glow over the young couple as they nestled together.

The gentle glow of the sunset enveloped their youthful figures, forever capturing their silhouettes and the first twilight of their graduation trip on Tianyu Mountain.

The magnificent sunset at Tianyu Mountain left a deep impression on the two of them. On the way down the mountain, the shock and satisfaction still lingered in their chests.

Dinner was at a highly-rated local restaurant near the hotel.

The fresh Thousand Island Lake fish head soup is fragrant and rich, and the other seasonal side dishes are also refreshing and delicious.

Li Zhi had a good appetite. While eating, she excitedly reviewed the scenery she had seen and the photos she had taken that afternoon. Her fair cheeks were slightly flushed with happiness and satisfaction.

Shen Yuan listened quietly, occasionally putting food on her plate, his eyes gently falling on her. Seeing her beaming with joy, he felt the trip was worthwhile.

It was already late at night when I returned to my hotel room.

The room's smart lights automatically turned on when someone returned, and the soft light instantly dispelled the darkness of the porch, revealing the warm and comfortable suite once again.

The night view of Qiandao Lake through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is completely different from that during the day.

In the distance, scattered island lights cast dappled shadows on the deep blue water, echoing the starry sky, creating a serene and profound scene.

"Ah—I'm exhausted!" As soon as she closed the door, Li Zhi couldn't help but let out a small sigh, kick off her casual shoes, and step barefoot onto the soft carpet.

The beautiful girl pounced on the incredibly tempting-looking bed, sinking into it like a lazy cat, letting out a satisfied moan.

"I walked so much today..."

Looking at her exhausted yet relaxed appearance, Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Who told you to jump around so energetically?"

He joked as he walked to the bedside and sat down, his large hand naturally covering her slender calves.

Are your feet sore?

Li Zhi grumbled and rolled over, her beautiful eyes half-closed as she looked at Shen Yuan, a hint of coquettishness in her voice: "Mmm! It's sour..."

Shen Yuan chuckled softly, his fingers expertly pressing lightly on her calf muscles.

The force was just right, carrying an irresistible tenderness.

The beautiful girl groaned with pleasure, her body becoming even more supple as if her bones had been removed, her fair ankles exposed, gleaming delicately under the light.

Shen Yuan's gaze fell on it, his fingertips pausing unconsciously. The outline of the small box in his pocket seemed to glow slightly through the fabric, a reminder of his unresolved task. He quickly concealed the fleeting deep meaning in his eyes and continued to focus on helping her relax her muscles.

"Where do you want to go tomorrow?" Shen Yuan asked while massaging the area.

Li Zhi closed her eyes to enjoy the service, her voice languid yet filled with anticipation: "Hmm... I want to take a boat trip to see those islands this morning! Things like Huangshan Peak and Moonlight Island... The travel guide says they're all quite beautiful. As for the afternoon... I wonder if it'll be safe to go swimming in this weather."

As she spoke, she laughed first.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say, my darling." Shen Yuan agreed with a smile.

After massaging for a while, Li Zhi went to take a shower.

When Shen Yuan finished showering and drying her hair, Li Zhi was already sitting on the headboard, the warm yellow reading light outlining the soft lines of her profile.

She was looking down at her phone, her fingers swiping rapidly across the screen, a faint smile on her lips, probably organizing today's photos.

Shen Yuan lifted a corner of the blanket and lay down, carrying the refreshing steam from his recent shower.

The creaking sound by the bedside made Li Zhi look up. She turned her phone screen towards him, which displayed several photos stitched together—a funny selfie in the beer town, silhouettes of the two of them at sunset, and the delicious dinner.

"Which one should I choose as my WeChat Moments cover photo?" she asked, blinking her bright eyes.

Shen Yuan leaned over to take a look and pointed to the silhouette of the two people cuddling under the golden sunset: "Let's take this one, it's meaningful."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Li Zhi grinned, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

Soon, she updated her WeChat Moments, changing the cover photo to that silhouette against the molten gold sunset, with a simple yet joyful caption:
Day 1, Qiandao Lake, sunset and evening breeze.

Shen Yuan tacitly gave it a thumbs up immediately.

Putting down her phone, Li Zhi, like a bird returning to its nest, naturally snuggled into Shen Yuan's arms, finding the most comfortable position.

Her hair carried a faint, sweet fragrance, which brushed against Shen Yuan's chin, causing a slight itch.

Shen Yuan adjusted his position, his arms firmly encircling her waist and back, making her more comfortable to rest her head on.

As the boy looked down, his eyes met the girl's as she looked up.

The air suddenly became viscous.

The lights and stars on the lake island outside the window became a blurred background, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the sound of intertwined breathing.

Shen Yuan's Adam's apple bobbed silently as his fingertips unconsciously caressed her slender waistline beneath her pajamas.

Li Zhi's thick eyelashes trembled. Instead of flinching, she met his gaze and drew closer, her warm breath brushing against the skin on his neck.

As if drawn by invisible threads, Shen Yuan slowly lowered his head. Li Zhi obediently closed his eyes, and the moment their cool lips touched, they both let out a satisfied sigh.

The kiss quickly deepened as the boy's hand cupped the back of her neck.

When Shen Yuan's calloused fingertips slipped under the hem of her clothes and touched the delicate skin on her waist, Li Zhi trembled violently and let out a whimper like that of a small animal.

"Shen Yuan..." she called him softly, her fingertips curling into his sweaty palm, her voice a mix of coquettishness and annoyance, as if caught off guard.

"You...you started causing trouble as soon as you came out!"

The girl stared at him with her beautiful, watery eyes, her cheeks as red as ripe peaches, her coquettish accusations utterly intimidating.

Their foreheads touched, their rapid breaths spraying onto each other's faces.

In the warm yellow light, Shen Yuan's deep eyes churned with a thick, dark color, like a turbulent deep sea.

He gazed into her eyes, which held a mixture of shyness and confusion, and felt her body tremble slightly at his touch.

The boy's Adam's apple bobbed heavily, his voice low and hoarse as if sandpaper had been rubbed against his skin, carrying a cautious probing tone.

"So, can we just do whatever we want?"

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

The girl bit her lower lip, feeling the burning heat from the hand on her waist.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Zhi slowly spoke.

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Upon hearing the girl's answer, Shen Yuan smiled instead.

"know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hand that had been resting on her waist, with its scalding heat and undeniable strength, firmly explored upwards, branding her smooth back like a hot iron.
