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

Chapter 314 also includes Li Zhi.

Shen Yuan's movements did not pause at all; his fingers pressed steadily on the edge of the book, continuing to move downwards at a firm and slow pace.

His deep eyes reflected the pulsating "6", and the confident curve of his lips seemed to deepen slightly, silently announcing the start of a brand new chapter.

Just as Shen Yuan's fingers were firmly pressed against the edge of the book, preparing to continue moving downwards at a steady and slow pace to reveal the full picture—

"and many more!"

Yang Yishui moved the hand holding the phone slightly, tilting the camera away from Shen Yuan's face, trying to capture the area at the top of the screen.

Her voice, tinged with urgency and curiosity, broke the almost frozen silence: "Shen Yuan! Wait! Don't rush to judge the total score! Look at the results above! What were the individual scores for the four subjects?! Chinese? Math? English? Science?!"

Her questioning was like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, instantly creating ripples in the tense atmosphere of the study.

Everyone's attention, including Li Zhi who was holding his breath and the four parents, subconsciously shifted away from the lone "6" and focused on the upper half of the screen.

There, perhaps, are the key pieces of the puzzle that make up this total score.

Shen Yuan's movements paused slightly due to Yang Yishui's sudden interruption.

His fingers, which had been moving the book away, hovered in mid-air, and his deep gaze quickly swept across the area above the screen.

As if he had only weighed the options briefly, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes, and he then agreed to the suggestion.

He did not reveal the total score immediately, but kept the book at the position where only the number "6" was visible, and did not move it down.

Instead, he slightly raised his fingertips, moving the book that was being used to cover the screen further away, precisely revealing the area at the top of the screen that displayed the specific subject scores.

The cool white light clearly illuminated the four crucial lines of data:

Chinese: 125 points

Mathematics: 132 points

English: 148 points

Science Comprehensive: 28…points
call--!
Almost at the same time that these four lines of numbers jumped into view, the air that had been stagnant for so long seemed to find a release outlet, and several long, relieved exhales rang out in the small study at the same time.

Xu Chan's fingers, which had been gripping the back of Li Zhi's chair, suddenly loosened, trembling slightly. A surge of immense relief and indescribable excitement instantly appeared on her face:
"Great...great! This point...is in the bag, it's in the bag!"

These three high scores, along with the partially revealed science score, have already set a successful tone for Shen Yuan's college entrance examination.

Zhang Yuyan and Lao Shen exchanged a glance, both seeing ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Zhang Yuyan covered her chest with her hand and let out a long sigh, as if to expel all the tension she had accumulated. A relieved smile appeared on her face.

Old Shen patted Shen Yuan's back forcefully.

Even Lao Li, who had been keeping a tense expression, couldn't help but relax his taut lips and his brows unfurrowed.

He knew about Shen Yuan's hard work, but when the solid high score was actually in front of him, his preconceived notions finally turned into substantial satisfaction.

"125 + 132 + 148... These three subjects alone account for 405?!"

Yang Yishui, who was holding her phone, reacted the most directly. She exclaimed softly, her tone full of amazement. The breath she had been holding while recording was now flowing smoothly, and her face showed undisguised excitement and pride.

"Look, look, Shen Yuan! You were complaining to me back then!!"

Sitting next to Shen Yuan, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile when she saw those three impressive scores. Her lips, which had been tightly pressed together, finally curved upwards, forming a bright and proud smile.

The tension in her eyes was replaced by immense joy, as if she were even happier than if she had gotten a high score herself.

The girl's tense shoulders completely relaxed, and her fists, which had been unconsciously clenched, quietly loosened.

The suffocating pressure that had enveloped the study room suddenly dissipated due to the solid high scores in these three subjects, and a sense of ease, joy, and hopeful warmth filled the air.

A relieved smile appeared on Shen Yuan's face as well. He took a deep breath and his finger fell on the booklet that covered the key information again, ready to reveal the final results.

Science Comprehensive: 281 points

Total score: 686 points

"686!!"

Yang Yishui was the first to shout out, her voice filled with surprise and excitement. She waved her arm excitedly, causing the camera to shake.

"It's safe! I'll ask around later; Zhejiang University's admission scores should be secure!"

Yang Yishui put down her phone, looked excitedly at Shen Yuan, and then at Li Zhi.

"Wait! Wait a minute before you get excited! We haven't even seen Xiaozhi's grades yet!!!"

This reminder is like pressing the pause button.

Everyone's attention instantly shifted from Shen Yuan's impressive score of 686 to Li Zhi.

Xu Chan unconsciously clenched her fist again as she looked intently at the screen in front of her daughter.

Old Li tensed up again, his gaze fixed intently on the target.

Shen Yuan also turned his head, his gaze falling on Li Zhi.

The joy in his eyes hadn't faded: "Li Bao, it's your turn."

The joy and excitement that had just risen in the study because of Shen Yuan's high score transformed once again into an even more fervent expectation, silently falling upon Li Zhi.

After all, everyone knows that Li Zhi's grades are better than Shen Yuan's.

For Li Zhi, the biggest expectation for his college entrance examination results is whether they will start with a "7".

Li Zhi took a deep breath.

The girl's smile, which had been happy for Shen Yuan, had not yet completely faded, and now it was adorned with a layer of self-confidence.

She could feel the slight trembling of her mother Xu Chan's fingertips coming through the back of the chair behind her, and she could also feel her father Lao Li's silent but extremely focused gaze.

She glanced at her parents.

"Don't worry, you won't fail the exam."

Li Zhi's gaze returned to the computer screen in front of him.

The girl slowly raised her slender, fair fingers.

In the utter silence, under the watchful eyes of six people, Li Zhi slowly and steadily moved the book that concealed fate backward.

The screen's cold white light, like a treasure being unveiled, reveals itself inch by inch.

The first thing that catches the eye is the total score at the bottom of the report card.

Yang Yishui couldn't help but let out a short gasp, then immediately covered her mouth tightly, afraid of disturbing something.

Xu Chan gasped, her hand covering her mouth trembled slightly, and her eyes widened.

Old Shen and Zhang Yuyan stared wide-eyed, their eyes filled with shock.

Old Li's body suddenly straightened even more.

Shen Yuan's breath hitched slightly.

Total score: 7...

As Li Zhi moved the exercises to the back, her scores were fully displayed.

Chinese: 132 points

Mathematics: 140 points

English: 145 points

Science Comprehensive: 291 points

Total score: 708 points

An achievement so exaggerated it leaves one speechless.

The air seemed to have been completely sucked out by the dazzling "708", plunging into a vacuum-like stillness.

700 points!
The lights in the study seemed to brighten slightly because of that number, reflecting the frozen astonishment on everyone's faces. Time seemed to stand still for a second.

“Wuhu!!”

A scream powerful enough to blow off the roof suddenly erupted! Like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!

It's Yang Yishui!

"708!!! Li Zhi! Awesome!!! Absolutely amazing!!!"

"Haha! I, Yang Yishui, have also taught a student who scored 700 points!"

The scream was like a spark that ignited a fuse, instantly exploding all the suppressed emotions in the study!
"708 points?!"

Xu Chan's voice trembled with disbelief. She covered her mouth and her eyes instantly reddened. Overwhelming joy and pride washed away all her restraint like a flood.

She suddenly hugged her husband tightly, repeating the words in a choked voice.

"Old Li! Old Li, did you see that?! 708! It's 708 points!!"

"I saw it! I saw it!! Great! Great! Great!!!"

He said "good" three times in a row, patted Xu Chan's back hard with his palm, and stared intently at the astonishing numbers on the screen.

The entire study was instantly filled with pure joy!

Right in the middle of the cheers, Shen Yuan turned around.

He didn't look at the score on the screen; the shock of the number had already been overshadowed by the brilliance of the person beside him.

His gaze was fixed on Li Zhi's confident and handsome face.

Amidst the boiling cheers and tears of excitement, Li Zhi slowly turned his head.

Her gaze pierced through the joyful air and struck straight into Shen Yuan's deep eyes.

Those beautiful eyes were now filled with a star-like brilliance, a sense of relief that had settled down.

She tilted her head slightly, her small nostrils flaring with excitement and amusement.

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, Li Zhi opened her arms and, like a light butterfly, rushed towards her destination, crashing heavily into the embrace that Shen Yuan had already opened for her!
Their warm bodies pressed tightly together, the girl's slender arms wrapped tightly around his neck, and Shen Yuan's strong arms instantly tightened, pressing her tall body even more firmly into his embrace.

The deafening cheers from the family in the study and Yang Yishui's boisterous exclamations became blurred and distant background noise at this moment.

In their world, only their rapid heartbeats resonated intensely in their chests, striking the strongest note called youth and future.

Shen Yuan turned his head slightly, his hot breath brushing against Li Zhi's flushed earlobe.

His deep voice carried an overwhelming pride, along with a hint of utter submission after being completely conquered:

"I'm willing to admit defeat."

His breath brushed against her ear, carrying a burning smile and absolute sincerity:
"You're amazing, honey."

The moment the word "wife" clearly landed—

The deafening cheers in the study were abruptly cut off by an invisible blade.

The air seemed to freeze, and time was paused.

Everyone who was still excited about Li Zhi's 708 points just a second ago suddenly stopped moving, looking, and speaking.

Xu Chan forgot to put her hand down from her mouth, and her eyes, which were filled with tears and laughter, widened instantly.

She looked at the boy who was holding her daughter tightly with disbelief in her eyes.

Old Li's hand, which was patting Xu Chan's back, seemed to freeze, stiffly hanging in mid-air.

The pride on his face hadn't even faded before it was replaced by astonishment.

Those sharp eyes were fixed on the back of Shen Yuan's head, filled with scrutiny and a sense of shock that said, "You've got some nerve, kid."

The smiles on Zhang Yuyan and Lao Shen's faces froze instantly. They looked at each other in astonishment, and then their eyes turned to their son's unsuspecting back.

Yang Yishui, who was holding up his phone, was the first to feel the shockwave of that "wife".

She gasped dramatically, her focus instantly shifting to Shen Yuan's face.

At this moment, my older cousin's face was full of excitement.

"Fucking awesome!"

"You dare to do that, kid!"

"We're doomed, this is going to be interesting!"

All eyes in the study instantly focused on Shen Yuan.

This heartfelt address, followed by a deathly silence, was like a bucket of ice water poured over Shen Yuan's head, instantly extinguishing his excitement and pride.

A chill suddenly shot up my spine!

He lifted his head almost immediately from Li Zhi's warm neck, his peripheral vision precisely catching the dangerous gaze from Lao Li.

His gaze was a mixture of shock and danger, along with a murderous aura about to erupt!
"You're asking for trouble!"

Li Zhi, who was originally immersed in the embrace and joy, now clearly felt the focused gaze.

Her body stiffened, and she abruptly lifted her head from Shen Yuan's embrace, the lingering excitement on her face quickly replaced by shame and anger.

The girl's bright eyes widened as she gestured repeatedly to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan's brain completed the transition from "overjoyed" to "life-or-death speed" in a fraction of a second.

A strong will to survive instantly overwhelmed all romantic notions!
Just before Lao Li's "death stare" completely locked onto him, Shen Yuan suddenly released his arms from Li Zhi and subconsciously shrank back a little.

A forced, seemingly innocent smile quickly spread across his face:

"Huh?! No! Uncle Li, Aunt Xu! Everyone, don't misunderstand! Don't misunderstand!"

As he spoke, he quickly hid his hands behind his back, trying to explain in the most innocent tone:
"Slip of the tongue! It's definitely a slip of the tongue! I was just... I was just too excited! This result is just too amazing! I accidentally misspoke!"

He licked his slightly dry lips, trying to make his expression appear utterly sincere, and emphasized urgently:

"This, this is like... um, like a nickname we use when we're joking around! It doesn't mean anything else! It's like calling someone 'baby' or 'darling'!"

"It's just an affectionate term of endearment! Really! It has absolutely nothing to do with... or anything that has any real meaning! It's purely an expression of happiness! I'm so happy!"

Shen Yuan finished speaking in one breath, his chest heaving violently as he carefully observed Lao Li's expression, afraid that the other party might not believe him.

He tried his best to maintain that awkward and stiff innocent smile, while praying frantically in his heart.

Uncle! You have to believe me! I just misspoke! It really was just a slip of the tongue! Please forgive me!
"Humph!"

Old Li let out a heavy snort through his nose.

His gaze swept over Shen Yuan's innocent face, then glanced at his daughter's earlobes, which were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

He crossed his arms, his back ramrod straight, and the scrutinizing air about him only intensified.

"Shen Yuan."

"Hey! Uncle, please tell me."

Shen Yuan, as timid as a quail, responded almost immediately, his eyes filled with trepidation and pleading as he looked directly at Lao Li.

Old Li paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through Shen Yuan and landing on some distant point in the future.

"There are still four whole years until you can officially get your marriage certificate with Li Zhi."

Under the silent gaze and waiting of everyone in the study, Old Li suddenly smiled.

"Behave yourself."
