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

Chapter 101 Zhou Qianyun Likes Lu Yu

"what?"

Lu Yu was a bit arrogant and frivolous during his primary school years.

While complaining about his childhood self, Lu Yu carefully examined Zhou Qianyun.

Indeed, it wasn't because my memory of Zhou Qianyun was romanticized that I found her cute back then; rather, Zhou Qianyun was genuinely cute as a child.

Her face was a little chubby, like a little dumpling, soft and fluffy.

However, at this point in time, it seems she's already showing signs of becoming stubborn.

"I was just talking to you, how about we exchange secrets?"

Her voice was clear, pleasant, and a little childlike.

Oh.

At this time...

When I was in fourth or fifth grade of elementary school, it was popular for students to exchange secrets.

It's like that kind of blood oath, like children swearing brotherhood in a peach garden, where we exchange secrets and become the best of friends in the world.

At this age, influenced by short videos, children have long since begun to experience romantic feelings, so most of the secrets among students revolve around who they like.

If you meet someone you both like, you can't be brothers anymore. Let's fight! Beauty is only for the strong.

Girls mature earlier and scoff at this, but curiosity and gossip are human nature, and many girls take the opportunity to exchange secrets with the boys they like in order to glean information about their feelings.

Luckily, their mutual crush turned into an open relationship.

If you're unlucky, you'll face your first heartbreak, and the bitterness of adolescence can only be swallowed down.

"What secrets do you have to trade with me? We're practically family!"

Lu Yu immediately said.

He was quite pleased with himself.

"Yes, yes, do you know who I like?"

Xiao Zhou Qianyun is acting like a grown-up.

"You can like whoever you want, I don't care."

Little Lu Yu turned his face away.

During recess, the children were playing and laughing. The two sat by the nursery under the shade of a tree. Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees, and the light spots swayed and rustled in the breeze, adding a filter of memories to the dream.

Holy crap, was I really this stubborn when I was a kid?

Lu Yu wondered if Zhou Qianyun's stubbornness was inherited from him.

"Then I want to know who you like, and I'll switch with you."

Xiao Zhou Qianyun grabbed Lu Yu firmly.

He has quite the air of a class monitor when he grows up.

"...Alright, alright, you say it."

In the end, Lu Yu gave in to his childhood sweetheart.

"Ayu, you go first."

Xiao Zhou Qianyun softened and took Xiao Luyu's hand.

"Why did I speak first again? You brought it up, so you should speak first, otherwise forget it."

Little Lu Yu wouldn't let it go.

Tsk tsk.

How embarrassing.

Lu Yu looked at his past self, the little boy he used to be.

Suddenly I felt something was wrong.

Was this the conversation at the time?

He vaguely remembered that Zhou Qianyun asked him to speak first, and he was actually a little scared at the time, so he couldn't tell the truth.

That's how little boys are.

He's stubborn and always teases the girl he likes, afraid that others will find out who he likes.

Then, Lu Yu happened to see a girl sitting next to him reading a book, so he told her her name.

There was indeed some commotion at the time, but Lu Yu sincerely apologized later, and the children forgot about it after half a semester, so the matter was considered closed.

Later, the girl moved away, and she didn't go to the same junior high school as Lu Yu, and they never contacted each other again.

The young Lu Yu in Zhou Qianyun's dream is even more powerful.

or.

She hoped that Lu Yu could be more assertive and proactive.

You're secretly reading romance novels about domineering CEOs, aren't you?

"Okay then, I'll go first. The person I like is..."

"you."

Six or seven years have passed.

Lu Yu finally heard Zhou Qianyun's "secret".

Turning his head, he saw a shy girl, as delicate as a lotus flower, fidgeting with her hands on the hem of her skirt, her eyes lowered, her cheeks as red as ripe peaches.

"Yeah?"

Little Lu Yu rubbed his nose and turned his face away.

"Then my secret is your secret."

Looking up somewhat bewildered, Xiao Zhou Qianyun tilted her head, pondered for a moment, and then realized the implication of Lu Yu's words.

"You mean, the person you like is me?"

His words became excited, his heart began to pound, and even his hands started to tremble.

"Yes, yes."

Little Lu Yu looked over.

"Hey, why are you crying?"

Xiao Zhou Qianyun's eyes immediately reddened, and large tears rolled down her soft cheeks, attracting the attention of the other classmates.

"No, I just..."

""

Her voice no longer seemed childish, but carried the clarity of a seventeen-year-old.

"I'm just... very happy."

She looked up at Lu Yu, her tears burning hot. She wondered if love felt the same way.

"I'm really happy that you like me."

Her bright eyes sparkled, revealing the most touching emotions of a young girl.

Even Lu Yu was drawn to those eyes at this moment, and his thoughts became sluggish.

Even in my dreams, the emotions in my chest still surged.

It was precisely because he was in a dream that he knew that such a conversation, at least for now, would not exist between the two of them in reality.

Zhou Qianyun was also aware of this.

So, without hesitation, she shouted at her classmates whose faces were blurred, and at the world that had already begun to collapse.

"Zhou Qianyun likes Lu Yu!"

This confession vanished with the dream, and no one heard it again.

*

Open your eyes.

Zhou Qianyun felt a slight itch in her throat and her eyes stung, as if she had been crying.

I had a really vivid dream.

In the dream, I said those words first, and then Lu Yu responded.

So happy.

It's like eating a hundred candies and then having a sip of fine honey – it's incredibly sweet.

Sure enough, this only happens in dreams.

The room was dimly lit; it must have been the early hours of the morning.

Zhou Qianyun was still being held by Lu Yu, but she was not sleeping peacefully and had turned around to face the young man.

Taking advantage of the darkness, she studied Lu Yu's face.

I feel like he's gotten even more handsome.

It must be because of the dream I just had.

This guy is going to buy reference books. It feels like an excuse, but it also seems like he's really starting to work hard. Sigh, why didn't he realize this sooner? We could still be in the same class then.

However, it doesn't matter whether Lu Yu is handsome or not, or whether his grades are good or bad.

Zhou Qianyun only wanted him to grow up healthy and happy, to become the person he wanted to be, unharmed by anything, and not swayed by anything external.

Even if it's yourself.

But then again...

Lu Yu, isn't your pose blatantly tempting people to commit crimes?

Hmm, he's asleep, so it should be fine.

After careful consideration, Zhou Qianyun made a decision.

She pursed her lower lip and quietly leaned closer.

moment.

Zhou Qianyun turned around shyly, her cheeks burning and her body feeling hot.

Seemingly because of her movement, Lu Yu moved, hugging the girl even tighter, burying his nose between her hair, breathing evenly as if a baby remembers its mother's scent.

Zhou Qianyun felt at ease. She pulled Lu Yu's hand, which was on her waist, down and hugged her abdomen, bringing the two closer together.

Then, he closed his eyes.

An attempt to find a continuation of the dream.
