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

Chapter 315 Now you should say yes, right?
The adults quickly turned their attention to the preparations for the celebration and began to discuss the follow-up matters with great enthusiasm.

As the parents left, the tension in the study gradually dissipated with the festive atmosphere.

Yang Yishui put down her phone, her face beaming with an barely suppressed smile. She strode over to Shen Yuan and patted him hard on the back.

Her voice was full of mockery and excitement, as if she didn't want the drama to end: "Wow, Shen Yuan! 686 points is awesome! And your guts are even more amazing! This material is incredible! Don't worry, I guarantee I'll edit it beautifully for you!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan's face instantly changed to a pitiful, pleading expression.

He quickly approached Yang Yishui and clasped his hands together in prayer:
"Sister! Dear sister! Please have mercy! That part absolutely cannot be released!"

Seeing his instant cowardice, Yang Yishui was even more amused. She deliberately waved her phone triumphantly: "Oh my, are you scared now? You called me 'wife' so smoothly just now!"

"Let me tell you, I'm going to treasure this classic footage. For the future..."

She deliberately dragged out the melody, a mischievous smile spreading across her face.

"On your wedding day with Zhizhi, I'll play this on a loop on the big screen! Let everyone see how afraid our groom was of his father-in-law back then! I guarantee the effect will be explosive and unforgettable!"

Shen Yuan was so choked by her announcement that he almost fainted.

Looking at Yang Yishui's smug expression, a glint of light suddenly flashed in the young man's eyes.

He took a deep breath, his face adopting an expression of concern tinged with pity yet subtly hinting at a counterattack, and mimicked her slow, deliberate retort:

"Oh? A wedding? That sounds really nice..."

He abruptly changed the subject, a wicked smile playing on his lips, and deliberately sized Yang Yishui up and down.

"But sister, have you thought about this? By then, Li Zhi and I will be married... what about you?"

Shen Yuan tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with genuine doubt: "Hmm? Sis? You wouldn't... still be single, would you?"

"..."

Yang Yishui's exaggerated, smug smile froze instantly.

"Shen! Yuan!"

The next second, a scream mixed with embarrassment, anger, and fury almost lifted the roof off the study.

She lunged at Shen Yuan and grabbed him, almost dropping her phone in the process.

"You little brat! Who are you calling a single dog?! I think you're asking for a beating! You just finished your exams and you want to get beaten up already?!!"

Yang Yishui gritted her teeth and pinched Shen Yuan so hard that his eyes rolled back.

Shen Yuan tried in vain to pry Yang Yishui's hands off his neck.

"Apple U, fight it out, but give us some air!"

"Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed! Serves you right for laughing at me! Still single?! Huh?!"

Yang Yishui swayed and growled through gritted teeth, her grip on his hands never loosening.

"I think you've finished the college entrance exam and your bones feel lighter! You need your dear sister to tighten your skin for you!"

"I won't dare... I really... I really won't dare, sister! I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Shen Yuan was so dizzy from being shaken that her voice changed.

Watching Shen Yuan being choked and shaken around in a miserable state, Li Zhi's earlier embarrassment and anger had long since vanished, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh so hard she bent over, her shoulders shaking.

"Hmph!" Yang Yishui snorted coldly, abruptly letting go of his hand, and even gave him a disdainful shove on the shoulder.

"This time was lenient! If you dare to do it again, see how I deal with you!"

Shen Yuan coughed twice, covering his neck, and quickly stepped back.

Yang Yishui tidied her messy hair, and while doing so, she picked up her phone which was lying on the table. She then proudly raised her chin at Shen Yuan, her eyes clearly saying: Great material +1!

The playfulness on her face subsided slightly, but her straightforwardness remained. As if suddenly remembering something important, she patted Shen Yuan's arm:

"Oh right, you little rascal, I almost forgot about the important thing. Everyone has to be back at school by 9 a.m. the day after tomorrow! Pick up the application guide and your file folders! Don't get so carried away that you forget!"

As Yang Yishui spoke, she swiped her finger across the screen a few more times, clicking her tongue twice:

"Your class group chat is buzzing! Everyone's posting their scores, it's more exciting than Chinese New Year!"

Shen Yuan took out his phone and glanced at the 99+ messages, a smile playing on his lips.

"Let me see how many points A-Jie got on the test."

Upon hearing Zhou Shaojie's name, Yang Yishui's face immediately fell, but she quickly gave a relieved smile.

"That damn brat finally passed his English test."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi immediately picked up their phones to check the message.

In the class group chat, messages were being refreshed at an astonishing speed, with various score screenshots mixed with shouts of ecstasy and sighs of relief, like a grand online carnival.

Shen Yuan scrolled through the messages that had just flooded his screen.

The first thing that catches the eye is a close-up of a screenshot of the grades—with the English section highlighted.

English: 92 points

Immediately following was Zhou Shaojie's own roar, so powerful it seemed to pierce through the screen, each word trembling with barely suppressed ecstasy and explosive joy:

Zhou Shaojie: [Image]
Zhou Shaojie: Aa ...

Zhou Shaojie: 92!!! 92 points!!!

Zhou Shaojie: Holy crap!! I passed English!! I passed the college entrance exam!!
Zhou Shaojie: Three years! A full three years, guys! I never passed a single English exam in high school! Not even once!!!

Zhou Shaojie: Do you know how I've spent the last three years?!

The text was followed by a string of emojis that flooded the screen, almost filling the entire screen.

Even through the phone screen, I can imagine that Ah Jie must be blushing right now, standing at home as happily as a husky.

Then he was muted by the class monitor for 1 minute.

Xu Ziqiong: Don't spam.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yuan grinned and chuckled.

"Damn, it wasn't for nothing that I stared at his vocabulary for two semesters. He's finally showing some promise."

Li Zhi's fingertips swept across the screen as Zhou Shaojie excitedly scrolled through the messages, then he glanced at the smiling profile of the boy beside him, his gaze finally settling on the dazzling 708 points.

The girl's lips curved into a gentle smile as she exhaled softly.

With a sense of satisfaction that everything had settled, Li Zhi's voice clearly reached Shen Yuan's ears:

"Well, at least... everything has a good outcome."

Yang Yishui nodded happily: "Well, my bonus is sorted out now!"

Shen Yuan glanced at her and retorted, "You have a million followers, and you're still interested in such a small amount?"

"Even a small mosquito isn't meat."

"Buy me a gaming laptop."

"roll!"

"mean."

"Pooh!"

Watching the siblings bicker, Li Zhi laughed heartily.

Just then, Shen Yuan's phone rang.

As soon as the ban was lifted, Zhou Shaojie immediately tagged Shen Yuan.

Zhou Shaojie: "@Shen Yuanlaoyuan, stop lurking! Show us your results!!"

Shen Yuan chuckled and dragged a screenshot of his score of 686 from the computer screen into the group chat.

The group chat exploded instantly:

Zhou Shaojie: "What's wrong with your brain, you bastard?" Yang Ze: "9494, didn't you not even get 600 points when school started?!"

He Zhiyu: "Shen Yuan has a system, that's for sure."

Shen Yuan: "Pah! I achieved all this through my own hard work!"

Zhuo Peipei: "It's all the power of love."

Damn, are all shippers just love-struck?

As the three of them were laughing and replying to messages in the group chat, the study door was gently pushed open a crack.

Xu Chan peeked in from outside the door, a gentle smile on her face: "Such good grades, the family should celebrate! Let's go out to eat today!"

After speaking, her gaze swept over the rings on Shen Yuan and Li Zhi's fingers, and her smile deepened.

Yang Yishui, standing to the side, immediately brightened up and raised her hand to chime in lively:
"Can I come along? Can I freeload a meal?"

Hearing Yang Yishui's blunt request, Xu Chan's smile grew even brighter. She readily nodded and responded enthusiastically:
"Of course! Come join us! It'll be more fun with more people, perfect for a celebration!"

Xu Chan had known Yang Yishui before she even started working.

I didn't feel like I was dealing with a teacher at all; I treated her like a girl next door.

Of course, I also occasionally think about introducing this still single young woman to someone.

At Xu Chan's suggestion, the two families, along with Yang Yishui, went to a restaurant to celebrate.

The dinner atmosphere was lively and warm.

Parents frequently raised their glasses to congratulate their children on their high scores, their words filled with pride and joy.

Although Lao Li sometimes had a stern face, he no longer always did so when dealing with Shen Yuan, and the atmosphere became relaxed and harmonious.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi sat close together, engaging in a sweet little interaction in a corner where no one was paying attention.

After dinner, my older cousin drove home, and the two families arrived at their doorsteps in the gentle summer breeze.

Xu Chan, arm in arm with Lao Li, was about to open the door and go inside when Li Zhi suddenly let go of Shen Yuan's hand, her eyes sparkling as she said:

"Mom and Dad, I...I want to go to Shen Yuan's house to see Nao Nao and San Geng!"

Old Li frowned: "Still going so late—"

"Oh dear, the children are just having a good time today!" Xu Chan interrupted with a smile, gently nudging Li Zhi's back.

"Go ahead, but remember not to stay out too late."

Xu Chan winked at Shen Yuan again.

"Yuanyuan, keep an eye on this girl for Auntie."

Shen Yuan immediately straightened up and agreed, while Li Zhi had already excitedly grabbed his arm and dragged him toward 1901.

Zhang Yuyan couldn't help but chuckle as she took out her keys to open the door. Old Shen, under Old Li's complicated gaze, patted him on the shoulder: "Old Li, come in and sit down? Have a cup of tea?"

Old Li's gaze fell on his daughter's impatient hand, which was tightly gripping Shen Yuan's arm. He then glanced at Shen Yuan and felt a strange tightness in his chest.

He glanced at Old Shen, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, and waved his hand dismissively in Old Shen's direction.
"roll!"

Old Shen wasn't angry even after being yelled at; he just kept smiling happily.

The incompetent father-in-law could only vent his anger on his childhood friend.

Meanwhile, Li Zhi and Shen Yuan had already returned to their room.

The door clicked shut, cutting off the elders' voices and the slightly subtle and teasing atmosphere.

As soon as Li Zhi entered the room, his eyes eagerly searched for the two furry figures.

"Nao Nao! It's past midnight!" she called softly, her face beaming with relaxation and the joy of returning home. The tension from the little incident downstairs had instantly vanished, and her mind was completely focused on the cat.

She walked briskly to the bedside and bent down to pet the two cats that were still sleeping on the bed.

Suddenly, a pair of warm arms wrapped around my waist.

Shen Yuan moved closer from behind, his chin naturally resting against her shoulder.

Before Li Zhi could react, he had already lifted her up lightly with his strength, turned around and sat back on the edge of the bed, letting Li Zhi sit sideways on his lap.

"Meow?" Startled, Nao Nao raised its head, its blue eyes looking at the two.

Shen Yuan pulled Li Zhi into his arms, covering her hand as she reached for the cat with his palm, and whispered a smile in her ear: "Li Bao, let them sleep a little longer."

He tilted his head and kissed her reddened earlobe, his voice low and soft.

"Now, just focus on spending time with me."

Li Zhi was held in Shen Yuan's arms, her cheek pressed against his warm chest, listening to the intertwined heartbeats of the two of them.

The girl looked up at Shen Yuan, her eyes shimmering with tenderness: "So... Shen, do you want me to keep you company while you space out?"

Shen Yuan chuckled softly, took her hand with the ring on it, and gently rubbed the ring with his fingertips.

He lowered his head, his breath brushing against her ear, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity:
"The college entrance exam results are out. I got 686 and you got 708—we're both standing in front of Zhejiang University."

He tightened his arms, pulling her deeper into his embrace.

"Now, it's time to keep our promise."

Li Zhi's ears suddenly turned red, but she forced herself to remain calm as she looked at him: "What promise? Explain yourself clearly, or I won't agree to it."

Shen Yuan held Li Zhi in his arms and looked down into her eyes.

His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his voice burning with intensity: "You promised to give me an answer the day the results came out."

Li Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked up to meet Shen Yuan's gaze.

The warm yellow light fell on the tips of her reddened ears.

The girl pursed her lips and looked at Shen Yuan for a long time, but never spoke.

Shen Yuan tightened his arms around her waist, pressed his forehead against hers, and asked again as their breaths mingled:
"Li Zhi, will you marry me?"

Li Zhi gazed at Shen Yuan, her eyes shining with a gentle yet firm light, a faint blush rising on her cheeks.

She nodded gently, her voice soft yet incredibly clear: "I do."

Shen Yuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart and was about to kiss her when Li Zhi gently touched his lips with her finger.

With a smile in her eyes, she continued, "But you must remember, after we graduate from university, you must marry me. No backing out. I want you to marry me honorably."

These words stirred Shen Yuan's heart. He took Li Zhi's hand, his fingertips tracing the ring on her ring finger, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I will definitely come to marry you on graduation day."

Li Zhi pressed herself against his chest, her fingertips gently caressing his clothes, then suddenly looked up and whispered, "Also, you have to propose to me again, formally! No half-hearted attempts!"

Shen Yuan's smile deepened, and he pulled her closer, kissing the top of her head with a gentle yet firm voice:
"it is good."

Li Zhi's cheeks flushed, but she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth, bury her face in his neck, and mumbled an "Mmm".

"She accepted the marriage proposal..."

Shen Yuan lowered his voice, his breath brushing against Li Zhi's flushed earlobe: "So what should you call me now?"

Li Zhi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her fingers tightened around his clothes.

After a moment, the girl finally made up her mind, tilted her head back, and quickly pecked the corner of his lips, whispering in an almost breathless voice:

"Husband~"

Before she could finish speaking, she was already embarrassed by the way she was addressed, and she buried her face in Shen Yuan's shoulder, clenching her fists and punching his back in embarrassment and annoyance: "Shen Yuan, you're so annoying!"

Shen Yuan's chest heaved, his laughter mingled with a satisfied sigh, and he hugged the person in his arms even tighter.

Beside the bed, two cats stared blankly at the two, witnessing the young people's clumsy yet sincere promise for the rest of their lives.
