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

Chapter 311 is about to be called

Looking at her adorable appearance, with her hair practically steaming, Shen Yuan could no longer suppress the triumphant joy and affection in his chest.

Instead of letting go, he held the soft, struggling body in his arms even tighter.

The boy's chin brushed against the girl's burning neck, his deep, smiling voice, laced with an irresistible sweetness, clearly penetrating her ears with each sound:
"Just call."

"Wife."

As soon as the word fell, Li Zhi's body stiffened abruptly, forgetting to struggle for even a second, with only those two words echoing in his ears.

"Wife~"

The second note, with its soft and drawn-out ending, carried a hook-like intimacy, as warm breath brushed against her sensitive earlobe.

"Wife, wife, wife..."

Starting with the third tone, it's as if they're making up for all the accumulated nicknames from the past at once.

The boy's voice, filled with pleasant panting and undisguised possessiveness, murmured clearly and repeatedly in her ear.

Li Zhi felt an even stronger wave of shame sweep over her like a tsunami, instantly overwhelming all her reason and ability to speak.

Her beautiful eyes widened, clearly reflecting Shen Yuan's smug smile that seemed to say, "I'll show you what you can do about it."

"Um...you, you..."

The girl tried to argue back, but found that she couldn't even form a complete sentence.

Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she disregarded everything else and tightly covered her equally red ears, trying to block out Shen Yuan's clingy address.

"Don't cover it up, honey."

Shen Yuan grinned mischievously and easily grabbed her slender wrist, pulling down the hand that was covering her ear and pinning it between them.

His burning gaze locked onto her watery eyes, which she had nowhere to hide, and the boy declared, word by word, with absolute clarity:
"From now on, that's what I'll call you. My wife."

"no!!"

Li Zhi seemed to have finally found his voice, and shouted it out with a do-or-die spirit.

"I said no, and that's final! Who gave you permission to call me that! You bad dog! Shameless! Unscrupulous!"

She cursed several words in one breath, as if only in this way could she vent the shyness that was about to explode. Her slender fingertips poked his chest with a warning force, one poke after another, like a little animal with its fur standing on end defending its territory.

Looking at her puffed-up yet incredibly adorable expression, Shen Yuan's smile deepened. Instead of backing down, he moved even closer, deliberately lowering his voice:

"Why not? You were calling me so sweetly just now, honey?"

"you--!"

Li Zhi was flustered by his stubborn way of addressing her.

But the next second, a cunning yet confident glint flashed in the girl's beautiful eyes, and she forcefully raised her chin:
"Hmph! If you're so capable, try saying that to Old Li right now!"

"..."

Shen Yuan's smug, wicked smile froze instantly.

Li Zhi keenly caught the fleeting stiffness and...guilt that crossed his eyes?
She felt as if she had caught the other person red-handed, and her previous embarrassment and anger were instantly replaced by a sense of triumph.

"Look!"

Her voice rose, carrying a sly sense of victory like a little fox, and her fingertips poked his frozen cheek again, each word striking his heart with crystal clarity.

"I knew you wouldn't dare! Shen Yuan, you only dare to act tough and shameless in front of me, right?"

"If you have the guts, call my dad right now and call him 'wife' to his face, and let him hear it."

The girl spoke with increasing confidence, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

Seeing Shen Yuan speechless for a moment after being choked by her, Li Zhi finally got her revenge for being teased repeatedly!

The pretty girl gave a proud "humph," and while he was distracted, she nimbly scrambled up from the sofa.

She leaped off the sofa like a nimble deer, running barefoot to the bed, leaving behind only a triumphant declaration tinged with shyness:

"You scoundrel! You'll be sleeping on the sofa tonight and reflecting on your actions!"

Watching her retreating figure, the boy chuckled to himself.

Shen Yuan subconsciously touched his nose, looked at the men's ring that was still lying quietly in his palm, and then looked up at the "little ostrich" who had already wrapped himself in the quilt.

"Tsk..."

"What about the ring? Should we wear it or not?"

Shen Yuan dragged out the words, his voice carrying a hint of mischievousness, as if he already knew the answer.

There was a two-second silence in the ball of blankets.

Then, the edge of the blanket was suddenly ripped open!
Li Zhi suddenly sat up!

The girl's cheeks were still flushed.

"Wear!"

The girl's voice was urgent and forceful, carrying an unquestionable command that clearly struck Shen Yuan's ears.

"You're dead if you don't wear it!"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll put it on."

He looked down, his gaze falling on the simple platinum men's ring in his palm.

He picked up the small ring with his fingertips, his movements carrying a subtle air of solemnity.

Shen Yuan looked up at Li Zhi, who was wrapped in the blanket. Only her bright eyes were visible, and she was staring at his movements without blinking.

Under Li Zhi's gaze, Shen Yuan held the ring and pushed the platinum band, symbolizing "being in love," to the base of his left middle finger.

The cool metallic touch against the skin was quickly warmed by body heat.

He raised his hand, his well-defined fingers stretching out under the light, the simple ring gleaming with a restrained yet resolute light between his fingers.

He looked up, his deep eyes gazing at Li Zhi, and asked with satisfaction and tenderness, "I've put it on, my dear wife. Are you satisfied?"

Seeing him actually put the ring on the promised middle finger right in front of her, Li Zhi felt a tingling sensation in her heart, as if burned by that faint light. The swelling sweetness instantly overwhelmed the last bit of shyness and annoyance.

"Hmph, barely passed!"

Although he said that, Li Zhi quickly took out his ring.

The girl held it between her fingers as if it were a precious jewel.

The cool ring brushed against her fingertip. She looked up and met Shen Yuan's smiling, encouraging gaze.

Li Zhi took a deep breath.

She mimicked Shen Yuan's actions, aligning the ring with the tip of her right middle finger.

She slowly pushed the ring, symbolizing their mutual commitment, into the base of her finger.

The moment the ring fits snugly against the skin, a strange yet unwavering sense of belonging arises spontaneously.

She raised her hand, her slender, fair fingers stretching out in the dim light, the small platinum ring also shimmering with a soft glow.

She looked at the ring on her hand, then at the one on Shen Yuan's hand, her gaze lingering on their fingertips before finally settling on Shen Yuan's face.

Those beautiful eyes were filled with shimmering tears, a pure and unspoken joy and certainty.

She pursed her lips and ultimately said nothing more.

The next day, the room was quiet.

On the large bed, the boy and girl slept in each other's arms like swans with their necks intertwined.

Shen Yuan's deep breath brushed against Li Zhi's soft hair. His strong arms, relaxed after a good night's sleep, still instinctively encircled her waist, firmly embedding her in his warm embrace.

Li Zhi was fast asleep, her head resting on his arm, her cheek nestled affectionately against his neck.

Thick, long eyelashes cast serene shadows beneath his eyes, and a few strands of hair playfully clung to the corners of his rosy lips. Shen Yuanxian opened his eyes.

Before she was fully conscious, the warm, comforting touch in her arms and the familiar fragrance to her nose awakened all her senses.

Before she was fully awake, Shen Yuan couldn't help but tighten his arms around her, pulling her even closer into his embrace.

The slightest movement startled the person in his arms.

Li Zhi's thick eyelashes trembled a few times, and a muffled whimper escaped her throat.

The girl instinctively snuggled closer to the warm, comfortable embrace, her small nose wrinkling slightly as she groggily opened her sleepy eyes.

Her eyes, still misty with moisture and filled with a bewildered look, finally focused on Shen Yuan's face after a while.

"Hmm?" Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hoarseness from just waking up, like it contained sugar.

Shen Yuan lowered his head and placed a feather-like kiss on her smooth forehead, his deep voice carrying the magnetism and amusement of early morning.

"Good morning, Li Bao."

He paused, his gaze falling on their intertwined fingers, the two rings nestled quietly in the morning light.

"...Time to get up, honey."

Following his gaze, Li Zhi also saw the ring on her finger.

Last night's intense memories flooded back, and a blush crept onto my cheeks.

She didn't speak, but buried her face deeper into the crook of his neck, letting out a soft hum filled with deep affection.

Outside the window, Qiandao Lake awakens in the morning light, its waters rippling gently.

Inside the window, on the bed bathed in the morning light, the figures of a young boy and girl embracing tightly are gilded with a warm gold, the faint light between their fingers whispering the vows woven from last night's stars and the dawn of the future.

As noon approached, the sunlight became even brighter and more intense, flooding the room through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, signaling the time to say goodbye to Qiandao Lake.

Although I stayed an extra day, the time to leave eventually came.

The wheels of the suitcase made a soft sound on the polished floor.

Shen Yuan zipped up the last backpack, straightened up, and his gaze habitually searched for that figure in the room.

Li Zhizheng stood by the window, taking one last look at the vast expanse of blue water that held their laughter and promises.

The sunlight outlined her slender profile, gilding the ends of her dark hair with gold.

The simple platinum ring on the girl's hand, reflected in the lake outside the window, inadvertently flashed a faint yet persistent light.

"Li Bao, it's time to go." Shen Yuan's voice carried the unique relaxation and warmth of morning.

Li Zhi turned around when she heard the sound. The morning light danced on her face, and her clear eyes reflected the lake outside the window, as well as him.

She walked lightly to his side and naturally extended her hand.

Shen Yuan's large hand instantly enveloped her small hand.

Their fingers intertwined, their skin pressed together, conveying the familiar warmth between them.

Their rings touched gently together.

The midday sun streamed in through the window, falling on their clasped fingers.

Li Zhi subconsciously lowered his head, his gaze falling on the hand that was bathed in a dazzling halo of sunlight.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly as she clearly saw how the sunlight danced on the ring.

A blush crept onto the girl's cheeks, and she instinctively gripped Shen Yuan's hand tighter.

Shen Yuan felt her increasing pressure and turned his head to look at her.

He said nothing, but tightened his fingers slightly, responding to her silent confirmation.

That dazzling light became their unspoken understanding and declaration at that moment.

He pulled her along with his other hand, while dragging the suitcase with his other hand.

"Let's go."

The wheels of the suitcase made a smooth rolling sound on the ground.

Next stop on the graduation trip.

The next stop on the journey is Dongyang, Jinhua.

The turquoise waters and sunset of Qiandao Lake seem to still be reflected in my eyes, and the air still seems to retain the fresh scent of the moist lake breeze.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi sat on the high-speed train, watching the scenery recede outside the window.

Li Zhi looked down at her own ringed finger, then at Shen Yuan's hand next to her, which was also wearing a ring.

As if remembering something, the girl immediately covered it with her own hand, and their fingers naturally intertwined tightly.

Just as Shen Yuan was wondering, she found the right angle and slightly raised their clasped hands into the light, making the two rings the absolute focus of the light.

Click!Click!
The crisp sound of the shutter rang out, and she took several pictures in a row.

Looking at her focused yet slightly excited profile, Shen Yuan smiled indulgently: "You're already posting it on WeChat Moments?"

Li Zhi's face flushed slightly, but the joy in her eyes was undeniable.

Her fingers flew across the screen as she selected the one she liked best.

The captions require almost no thought, conveying a sense of the journey's continuation and the overflowing emotions of the moment:
Day 3, bidding farewell to the blue skies of Qiandao Lake. Next stop, let's go!

Click Send.

Almost at the same moment, in a city thousands of miles away, He Zhiyu, who had just woken up in bed, yawned widely and unconsciously refreshed her WeChat Moments.

Suddenly, a newly posted status update made him stop abruptly.

"What the hell?!!!"

He Zhiyu sat up abruptly in bed, her eyes wide open as if she wanted to stare through the phone screen.

"ring?!!!"

The young author's mind exploded instantly, with countless question marks and exclamation marks flooding the screen.

"Holy crap, these two... are they still not stopping their public displays of affection?"

"But it's so sweet!!"

He Zhiyu threw herself back onto the bed and rolled around on it, clutching her phone.

The high-speed train slowly pulled into Jinhua Dongyang Station. Shen Yuan carried their luggage, while Li Zhi excitedly held his hand, the ring on her finger gleaming under the platform lights.

Stepping out of the station, the humid air, carrying the unique freshness of a small town in southern China, hits you in the face.

The two checked into the hotel they had booked and spent some time there that day.

The next morning, they headed straight for their main destination: Hengdian World Studios.

In the film studio, Shen Yuan strolled hand in hand with Li Zhi.

Li Zhi excitedly took photos, and Shen Yuan smiled and cooperated.

The two walked along the antique-style street, watching the bustling crowds, the sunlight streaming in, and the cheerful laughter.

Before leaving Dongyang, they made a special trip to the famous Dongyang Woodcarving City and bought some small souvenirs to take back with them.

On the high-speed train back home, Li Zhi looked through the many photos and videos on her phone.

The playful antics beneath the red walls, the "time travel" before the palace, Shen Yuan carrying her up the steps, and the close-up shot of their hands clasped together, sparkling with rings, taken again under the lights of the wood carving city...

She carefully selected a few photos, paired them with pictures of Shen Yuan carrying her up the steps, and posted them on her WeChat Moments.

Day 4, Dongyang. Shen Yuan said I was a bit light, so carrying me was easy.
