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

Did Bailu recommend Chapter 103 to you?

Zhou Qianyun took a taxi and arrived near the Second Middle School.

On National Day, the area near the commercial street was quite lively, and you could occasionally see one or two students in school uniforms walking by.

Lu Yu was dressed simply in casual pants, a T-shirt, and a jacket. However, because he was very handsome, he didn't look inferior at all when standing next to the beautifully dressed Zhou Qianyun. In fact, he attracted more female attention from passersby.

Which subject's supplementary textbook do you want to buy?

Walking into the bookstore that Lu Yu had visited with Cheng Bailu before, Zhou Qianyun casually picked up a textbook.

"English?"

Lu Yu hadn't really thought it through. If possible, he would want them all, since he could afford them anyway.

What if I win the lottery again?

But what Zhou Qianyun really meant was to ask Lu Yu which subject he should improve in first.

For Chinese, math, and physics, you can basically just follow along and that's it.

My understanding of chemistry and biology is superficial. There is room for improvement, but not much. If I follow Lu Yu's teachings, I should be able to gradually improve from failing to around 70 points. If I push too hard, I can only get up to 90 points at most, for a total of 40 points.

English has the most potential for improvement. If you study it intensively, you can at least improve your score by about 50 points, if not as much as in math.

"Do you have any tools for memorizing vocabulary in English?"

Zhou Qianyun walked to the section for English-related supplementary books and picked up a vocabulary booklet.

"There is an app for memorizing vocabulary."

Lu Yu showed it to Zhou Qianyun.

Vocabulary memorization progress: 1%.

"You've never even used this, have you?"

Zhou Qianyun glanced at Lu Yu's phone and handed it back.

"But this app is pretty good... Did Cheng Bailu recommend it to you?"

"Um."

Lu Yu didn't hide anything and took the phone.

"The study methods of top students are not really suitable for us average students."

"Who are you talking about? You're the only academic failure."

"That's true."

"Keep this app... It's good for memorizing words, but if you want to improve your scores, it's better to do targeted practice questions. After all, we have an exam-oriented education system, and being able to pass the exam is enough."

Zhou Qianyun's approach to learning is very pragmatic; getting the grades is enough for her.

She chose two supplementary textbooks, one for reading comprehension and the other for listening and writing.

"If you can get these three, with your skill level, scoring over 100 points won't be a problem."

"Okay."

Lu Yu quickly flipped through the questions; they were questions designed for his score range.

Zhou Qianyun is very suitable to be a teacher.

"Do you want to buy it?"

As they prepared to pay the bill, Lu Yu turned to Zhou Qianyun and asked.

"Me? I still have so much at home, I can't even finish it all. To be honest, my math is still a bit weak, but..."

Zhou Qianyun walked to Lu Yu's side.

"Isn't it because of you?"

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Lu Yu feigned surprise.

After paying in line, Lu Yu weighed the supplementary textbook in his hand and felt that another fierce battle was about to begin.

"I'll just buy these two for now, chemistry and biology, and come back next time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qianyun gently tiptoed.

"Okay, I'll come again next time."

After receiving the package, the two turned into the alley next to the book market.

This alley is very long and leads directly to the pedestrian street. On both sides are old residential buildings, and along the street are shops selling stationery, desserts, spicy hot pot, skewers, fried chicken cutlets, milk tea, and the like—shops that students would like.

It's been over a year since I last visited. Some shops are still there, while others have changed hands.

Walk through this alley, circle around to the pedestrian street, and there's a bus stop there too.

When Lu Yu and Zhou Qianyun were in junior high school, they would take this detour because the bus at that stop would first pass by Zhou Qianyun's Golden Dream Community, and then go to a stop near the machine tool factory. Lu Yu would get off at that stop and walk an extra fifteen minutes home.

For the three years of junior high school, it was like this almost every day.

"Hey, the chicken strips at this shop are always fried too dry. I remember you liked that crispy texture."

Zhou Qianyun looked at the fried chicken shop where a lot of elementary school students had gathered.

"Oh, this is the place where I bought you a serving once, and you tripped and spilled it all over the place before you even ate it, right?"

Lu Yu was deeply impressed by Zhou Qianyun's embarrassing incident.

"Wasn't that the time you begged me to let you copy your winter break homework as compensation?"

"How can you remember something like this so clearly? You're such a vengeful woman!"

"You were the one who brought up old grievances first."

"But it seems that when I passed by after school later, the owner gave me another one. He was a really nice guy."

"That must be because I'm cute."

"Yes, yes, you're the cutest."

The two of them were arguing and bickering as they waited in line.

"Boss, I'd like a small portion of fried chicken strips."

Zhou Qianyun scanned the QR code and glanced at Lu Yu.

"Please fry it a little drier."

"Okay."

The boss was a bald man in his forties. He agreed and glanced at the two people again.

"You guys used to be from No. 2 Middle School, right?"

"Boss, you have such a good memory! You even remember this!"

Lu Yu immediately provided emotional support.

"Of course. I remember all the students who come here regularly. Yesterday, one of them, who graduated a long time ago, came back and asked me if I remembered him. I recognized him immediately. He used to always order extra chili on his chicken cutlets, and his mouth would be bright red from eating them."

The owner chatted casually while frying, also remembering what flavors of seasoning the previous customers had ordered; his hands and mouth were never idle.

"Wow, that's amazing! What about the two of us? Boss, what do you remember?"

Zhou Qianyun became curious.

"Let me think about it."

The boss thought about it for a moment.

"You two walk home together every day after school."

"Boss, tell us something that nobody knows."

Lu Yu smiled.

"I remember now."

The boss's competitive spirit was aroused. After handing over chicken strips to the elementary school student next to him, he stroked his chin while the chicken was still frying.

"You bought chicken strips for this girl before, and then she turned around and kicked the fire hydrant over there, spilling all the chicken strips from her hand."

"Boss, were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Zhou Qianyun frowned. Why did even the chicken cutlet shop owner bring this up? Did he really remember it that well?

"No, no, please continue. It was noon then. Later in the afternoon, just before class started, you came over and gave me money, saying you wanted me to fry you a portion after school, as a supplement for lunch."

The boss looked at Zhou Qianyun.

and many more.

and so.

Was the school owner not kind-hearted that day after school? Zhou Qianyun secretly gave him the money.

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Back in junior high, I didn't have much pocket money.

I bought one for Zhou Qianyun, and I've already used up two days' worth of credit.

The chicken strips spilled, but she didn't cry or make a fuss. She didn't ask Lu Yu to buy another serving. She just muttered a couple of things, saying that the food wasn't that good anyway. The two of them slunk back to school.

Later, when school was over, the owner stopped them and said that the chicken strips had spilled at noon, so he would give them a replacement. The two happily shared the chicken strips.

Lu Yu always thought it was good luck and that the boss was kind.

did not expect.

"Boss, what nonsense are you talking about? You must have misremembered."

Zhou Qianyun pouted and looked away.

"No, I definitely didn't misremember. You even said not to mention this to this guy."

The boss wouldn't let it go, giving off a vibe that you could say my fried chicken cutlets weren't good, but you couldn't say I had a bad memory.

Zhou Qianyun puffed out her cheeks, which turned red.

"Boss, you must be mistaken, because I was the one who sneaked out that day to give you the money."

Lu Yu smiled faintly as he accepted the chicken cutlet offered by the boss, and then solemnly corrected him.

"Really? That's possible. Anyway, there is such a thing."

The boss was persuaded by Lu Yu's confident demeanor, nodding to himself and muttering to himself.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Zhou Qianyun was still standing there, Lu Yu reached out and took her hand, pulling her to the side of the street.

"The boss must be mistaken. How could I do something like that..."

The girl was still muttering her explanation.

"Here you are."

Lu Yu skewered a piece of chicken strip with a bamboo skewer and handed it to her.

Zhou Qianyun stared at it for a while, then stretched her neck and ate it in one bite.

"Is it tasty?"

Lu Yu also ate a piece himself.

"It's not tasty, it's just cheap pre-made chicken strips."

Zhou Qianyun hated everything about the house.

"I think it's pretty good."

Lu Yu ate a piece himself.

Zhou Qianyun glared at her.

"However, these things all taste pretty much the same; it mainly depends on the dining environment."

Lu Yu picked up another piece and handed it to Zhou Qianyun.

"The bag of boneless chicken strips that the school boss gave me after school that day was delicious. It's the best I've ever had."

"...You talk too much."

Zhou Qianyun hesitated for a moment, then ate the chicken strips that Lu Yu fed her. She then took a bamboo skewer, picked up a piece, and offered it to Lu Yu's mouth.

Lu Yu then ate it.

He was still chewing when he made a mumbled declaration.

"Eat, eat, all you ever do is eat!"

Zhou Qianyun looked away.

"People say that buying osmanthus flowers and sharing wine will never be the same as the carefree days of youth. But I think the boneless chicken strips we bought today are much tastier than before."

Lu Yu handed over the chicken strips with a bamboo skewer.

"You should try it too, it's truly the most delicious food in the world."

Zhou Qianyun opened her mouth and ate it.

The piece that Lu Yu fed him was indeed the most delicious in the world.
