I'm in high school, is my dating system working correctly?

While a helping hand during times of prosperity is certainly worthy of gratitude, a small act of kindness during times of hardship should be cherished even more. What is truly worth celebrating is that even in the depths of despair, you did not abandon your most precious qualities.

Suddenly.

Walking between the teaching area and the playground, along the main road lined with ginkgo trees, Lu Yu felt as if all the sounds around him had vanished instantly.

The next moment, a faint scraping sound came from behind him. He looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was the sound of a first-year high school student writing in the classroom behind him.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of flapping wings rose from high above. Looking up, Lu Yu saw several unidentified birds gliding over the treetops.

Ahead, the shouts from the playground could be heard clearly, and the light footsteps of shoes touching the rubber track seemed to echo in Lu Yu's ears.

Then, in an instant, all the sounds faded away, and Lu Yu could only hear the rustling of the wind through the treetops.

"Holy crap, that's pretty awesome?"

Lu Yu stood there stunned, not expecting the [Elementary Listening] effect to be so powerful.

Concentrating his attention, he looked up at the treetops and could hear the chirping of birds eagerly awaiting their food. After searching for a while, Lu Yu finally found the bird's nest on the branch.

"About one hundred meters?"

He decided to continue walking and experimenting with his abilities.

Normally, those subtle sounds wouldn't affect Lu Yu's daily life, but when certain unusual or unusual sounds appeared, he would receive a kind of alert or reminder.

When focused, one can detect faint sounds within a range of approximately one hundred meters.

In addition, Lu Yu's memory and ability to distinguish sounds have also improved considerably.

For example, when he arrives at the basketball court, he can identify who it is just by the sound of their footsteps, by comparing the sound of their shoes rubbing against the court surface with the face of the person on the court.

"I thought you'd fallen into a pit."

Shen Liyuan was eager to compete. Since Lu Yu wasn't around, he had grabbed a strong man to play, but they were quickly defeated 3-0.

"I'm here to prepare dinner for you."

Lu Yu retorted, seeing the basketball go into the basket, it was time for them to get a turn.

"You go ahead, I'm exhausted."

The guy who replaced Lu Yu was Yang Fenglin, a tall and thin boy. He was okay at long-distance running, but intense sports like basketball would really drain his energy.

OKK.

Lu Yu gave him a high five and went onto the field.

In the scramble for the ball, Shen Liyuan exerted all his strength, jumping high into the air, and managed to knock the ball into Lu Yu's hands.

Lu Yu was quickly marked by the opposing team, dribbling the ball while looking for an opportunity to break through.

At this moment, the third player on the opposing team spun around and quickly came behind Lu Yu, seemingly about to steal the ball from behind.

But Lu Yu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Without even looking, he dodged the sneak attack from behind and then passed the ball out of his sight.

Shen Liyuan received the ball and, without thinking, made a long pass.

The ball landed perfectly in Lu Yu's hands, who had already reached the basket. He casually laid it off and scored.

"nice shot!"

Whistles could be heard from the sidelines.

"Wow! That blocked it. Let's open it now!"

Shen Liyuan patted Lu Yu's back forcefully.

"Go ahead and learn it."

Lu Yu smiled faintly.

[Elementary Listening] allowed Lu Yu to construct the positions of everyone on the field by sound, just like a sonic boom. Even without looking behind him, he could know the movements of both sides. At the same time, by listening to the sound of footsteps, he could roughly judge the next move of each person, so as to get into position in advance and receive Shen Liyuan's long pass.

So, he really didn't turn it off.

"Come on, I feel like we're guaranteed to win this round!"

Shen Liyuan, full of vigor, threw the basketball to the other side.

After the last class at Jiangcheng Middle School, there is a 40-minute after-school activity period. Students are not allowed to leave the school until 6 p.m. Students in grades 10 and 11 either go downstairs to exercise, do their homework in the classroom, or boarding students go directly to the cafeteria for dinner.

Lu Yu and his friends stayed on the court to play basketball right after their physical education class ended.

His team of three won two games in a row. In the third game, they tied the score at 2-2. However, due to Shen Liyuan's mistake, they lost the final point of the best-of-five series and missed the chance to become the three-time champion.

I glanced at the time; there were less than ten minutes left before school ended.

"Let's go, let's go."

Lu Yu picked up his school uniform jacket from the side and walked towards the teaching building with Shen Liyuan, both sweating profusely. They took a detour to the convenience store and bought two bottles of cola by swiping their meal cards.

The first sip of ice-cold cola after exercise is absolutely amazing, not to mention the glass bottle is full of fizz, and one gulp and you feel like you're taking off.

The two people leaning against the glass counter were panting, drinking cola, and chatting about the basketball game they had just played. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the plane trees along the main road of the school, casting swaying golden shadows. The noise and the sound of reading came from two different directions with the evening breeze, intertwining together.

If time could be frozen, Lu Yu would surely whisper at this moment, "Please stop, this golden moment."

"Awesome!"

Shen Liyuan commented on the iced cola and then gulped down another large mouthful.

Lu Yu was about to speak when the [Elementary Listening] suddenly made him feel something.

His gaze shifted, looking towards the teaching building, to the sixth floor.

The faint whispers were instantly captured, amplified, and echoed in his ears.

"Cheng Bailu, you stole my money!"

*

Classroom for the honors class.

On Fridays, even among the top fifty students in the grade, few are sitting still and doing their homework. Plus, the previous period was PE, so there are even fewer people in the classroom.

Cheng Bailu buried her face in her arms, leaned on the desk, squinted, not asleep, not very awake, in a daze.

The two girls sitting two rows in front of her were chatting and doing their homework when suddenly, one of them, Sun Di, with short hair, seemed to remember something and rummaged through her handbag.

"Huh? My money is gone?"

Sun Di opened the small wallet in her handbag; it only contained some loose change.

"What's wrong?"

My deskmate, Xue Ying, is not very tall and has some acne scars on her face.

"I went to my grandpa's house last night, and he gave me a 200 yuan red envelope. I remember putting it in my wallet..."

"Could it have been switched in the package?"

Xue Ying frowned and glanced into Sun Di's drawer; it was empty.

"Impossible. I put the red envelope in my wallet after opening it. It definitely wouldn't fall out. I even glanced at it during lunch."

Sun Di hurriedly took the books out of her bag and placed them on the table, but the bag was empty; there wasn't a trace of money in it.

"We were all sitting in our seats this afternoon, and no one seemed to have found any money..."

Infected by her deskmate, Xue Ying also became a little anxious and flustered.

"Yeah, even the toilets...wait, what's wrong?"

After thinking about it for a moment, Sun Di quickly discovered the blind spot.

The two of them did go out in the afternoon.

During the PE class just now, they left the classroom and left the two hundred yuan that their grandfather had given them in their small wallets for forty minutes, feeling lonely and isolated.

After returning, Sun Di was so engrossed in chatting that she didn't pay any attention to her wallet until it was almost time for school to end, at which point she remembered to take a look.

"Do you have any clues?"

Xue Ying saw her deskmate suddenly fall silent. Then, Sun Di slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and hurried over to Cheng Bailu's desk.

"Cheng Bailu, get up."

Sun Di's tone was somewhat cold.

Seeing that Cheng Bailu didn't react, she tugged at the other person's sleeve.

Looking up with a slightly bewildered expression, Cheng Bailu stared at Sun Di and Xue Ying, who had followed her.

"What's wrong?"

"You took the keys back to the classroom during PE class, right? Do you know where my money went?"

Sun Di's tone was unfriendly, but he had already made his judgment.

"What money?"

Cheng Bailu was completely bewildered. Her menstrual discomfort hadn't subsided, and now someone had inexplicably and aggressively come to question her. She had no idea what was going on.

"Sun Di's money is missing from her bag. We were in the classroom for a while, and you came back feeling unwell during PE class, so we wanted to ask if you saw anything."

Xue Ying pulled Sun Di back.

She didn't know why, but ever since the class was divided, Sun Di had disliked Cheng Bailu. When the teacher praised her, she would make sarcastic remarks behind her back.

But Xue Ying didn't think that losing money had anything to do with Cheng Bailu.

"No, no one else has been here."

Cheng Bailu shook her head.

"That's you."

Sun Di's voice drew the attention of all the students in the classroom, and seeing this, she raised her voice a little higher.

"Cheng Bailu, you stole my money!"

Upon hearing this...

All the students stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on.

Xue Ying was stunned, not expecting Sun Di to directly confront Cheng Bailu.

She looked around and, not seeing her class monitor Zhou Qianyun, began to panic.

Theft by high school students is a common occurrence throughout history, but this is an honors class, and Sun Di is questioning Cheng Bailu, who was the top student in the grade last semester.

Regardless of the final outcome, someone is bound to be extremely unlucky.

"You must have evidence to support your claims."

Cheng Bailu also became more sober, and her cold expression dominated her beautiful face, which made Sun Di feel a little pressured for a moment.

"Yes, of course. This money is a red envelope from my grandfather. He specially chose auspicious numbers, one of which ends in 888. You can tell as soon as you get the money."

Sun Di took a step forward and reached out to grab Cheng Bailu's schoolbag from her drawer.

"If you didn't steal it, then let me search your bag."

Cheng Bailu blocked Sun Di's hand, protected her schoolbag, and said coldly.

"The burden of proof lies with the person making the claim; otherwise, you can call the homeroom teacher."

Whispers filled the classroom.

Seeing this, Xue Ying took the opportunity to pull Sun Di aside and persuade him.

"Yes, go find the teacher, and Cheng Bailu won't take your money..."

"Why can't she do it?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Di was furious.

She pointed at Cheng Bailu and roared in a trembling voice.

"My mom said her dad was fired for stealing from his workplace. If his father was a thief, his daughter must have some shady dealings too!"

Shocking pumpkin.

Everyone instinctively shut up and looked this way.

The people in her class only vaguely knew that her family was not well-off, but they had no idea about this gossip.

Sun Di's words startled Cheng Bailu.

Seeing this, Sun Di immediately snatched Cheng Bailu's schoolbag from her hand and was about to empty it out when...

A hand gripped Sun Di's wrist tightly, causing her to turn her head in pain, only to see a somewhat unfamiliar face.

Who are you?

"Me? Just an ordinary high school student passing by."

Before he could catch his breath, Lu Yu forcefully and decisively snatched Cheng Bailu's schoolbag back from Sun Di's hands.
