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

Zhou Qianyun, your childhood sweetheart, didn't look down on you for your poverty. You made a promise to each other about the future. Now you know that at least one person is looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow.

[Task Completion Status: Perfect]

[Increased Rewards: Daily Check-in Task Rewards Increased]

"You've come to this world, you should see the sun."

These indifferent and cold words appeared and disappeared, and by the time Lu Yu reached the bus stop, they had become a completely new string of words.

[Realize that the past cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped. Starting tomorrow, start a new life together with her!]

[Task: Communicate with Zhou Qianyun at least once a day for one month (Reward increased)]

[Persist for 7 days, reward: 1000 yuan]

[Persist for 20 days, reward: Appearance +5%]

[Persist for 30 days, reward: Skill: Basic Photosynthesis]

"?"

Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Not a buddy.

I can understand what listening is, but what the hell is photosynthesis?

With this skill, will I be able to live without eating in the future?

Wouldn't I become a vegetable?

The term "vegetative state person" has two meanings here: one refers to a person who can photosynthesize, and the other refers to a patient who has lost the ability to move, creating a pun that is both amusing and amusing.

Are you just padding the word count? The double entendre isn't funny when you explain it, you bastard!

Photosynthesis will not be discussed for now.

Appearance +5%, Lu Yu thought it was pretty good.

Although he no longer felt any connection to the characters in those online novels with ordinary-looking protagonists, no one would mind becoming more handsome or good-looking themselves.

Moreover, you can get it by signing in for twenty days.

As for the reward for signing in for seven days, it's a thousand yuan, which can be considered compensation for the mental anguish of talking to Zhou Qianyun every day.

As Lu Yu finished reading, the indifferent and cold words continued to change.

[Three daily check-in tasks have been successfully activated. When the fourth daily check-in task is activated, the "Execution Line" adventure task will be unlocked.]

Exploring the city will trigger unexpected encounters and quests.

If the kill threshold encounter quest is not triggered within a week, a guaranteed encounter quest will be awarded.

What's so special about this?

Can you see the blue question mark above other people's heads?

Lu Yu only saw the words "guaranteed mission" in the description.

This means that if he doesn't trigger a system task for a period of time, the system will send him one.

Lu Yu said that a guaranteed minimum is a good thing, does anyone understand?

When I got home, my parents were indeed not there.

Lu Yu washed up, finished most of his remaining homework, and lay down in bed after midnight.

After scrolling through his phone, Lu Yu suddenly wondered what it would mean to have some kind of interaction with Zhou Qianyun.

Speaking face-to-face definitely counts, but what about chatting online?

Driven by a strong experimental spirit, Lu Yu opened the QQ chat window.

[Lu Yu]: There's something I need to tell you.

Lu Yu learned some skills from his brief online chatting experience, such as never starting a conversation with "Are you there?".

If you ask "Are you there?" and the other person doesn't see it at the time, and then replies "Yes" later, and you still don't see it immediately, you have to reply "Are you still there now?" after a while.

These three handshakes...

If you have something to say, just say it directly.

Some clever students might ask, "But Lu Yu didn't say anything directly."

Because Lu Yu was actually fine, he was just testing the system's judgment.

I waited a few minutes, but there was no reply.

Maybe they got so caught up in getting too caught up in the topic that they lost their minds.

[Lu Yu]: It's alright, time to sleep.

Lu Yu disconnected from the internet, put down his phone, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

Ten minutes later.

Zhou Qianyun, who had just finished showering and dried her hair, picked up her phone and saw two messages from Lu Yu. Her heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of his last words today, a strange mix of anticipation and unease gripped her thoughts.

The girl took a deep breath and sat down, hesitating for a moment.

【shallow】:?

Zhou Qianyun declared that the question mark is the greatest invention in internet chat. Does anyone understand?

I waited for a few minutes, but there was no reply.

Zhou Qianyun typed in the input box and then deleted it, hesitating for ten minutes.

"...I guess he's really asleep."

She decided to stop thinking about it, finished tidying up, lay down on the bed, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Until around 2 a.m.

I tossed and turned in bed.

Zhou Qianyun turned on her phone, connected to Wi-Fi, and opened the chat window, only to see her own reply with a question mark.

She scrolled up through their chat history and then opened Lu Yu's profile. There were only a few likes, but the photos in his album weren't too abstract; they were mostly pictures of cats and dogs, and scenes of rain and sunshine.

It's quite artistic.

wrong.

There's a sentence on the photo.

"The night is lonely, the day is scorching."

Zhou Qianyun pondered for a moment, searched online, and found that the preceding line was "My eternal soul gazes upon your heart," which sounded like a love poem.

Not right.

The girl continued searching and fiddling with it for a long time before finally confirming that it was the text on the photo's built-in frame.

That's fine.

When she returned, Zhou Qianyun accidentally tapped an emoji and sent it without paying attention.

"!"

The girl frantically tried to retrieve the phone, nearly hitting it in the face.

Looking at the message recall record in the chat box, Zhou Qianyun's face scrunched up in a bitter expression.

Well, it's too late now. If I don't sleep now, I'll really faint in my teacher's class tomorrow.

She gave up struggling, closed her eyes and went to sleep. In her dream, she stomped on Lu Yu countless times.

the next morning.

As the alarm clock rang, Zhou Qianyun painfully opened her eyes.

Good sleep.

It's better to just endure it until it's completely worn out.

She got up with droopy eyelids, turned off her phone alarm, and as soon as she connected to Wi-Fi, she saw a message notification pop up on QQ.

[Lu Yu]: It's nothing serious, just asking if you want me to buy you some steamed buns this morning.

"..."

The curses he had been preparing all night suddenly deflated.

[Qian]: Are you sick? Why are you asking this so late in the morning?

[Qian]: Red oil beef, consider it compensation for me.

[Lu Yu]: Okay.

Lu Yu, who was still sitting on the bed, put down his phone.

In my field of vision, indifferent and cold words appeared one by one.

[Yesterday's goal of quitting addictive substances has been achieved]

[Current duration: 3 days]

Today's number of interactions with Zhou Qianyun has reached the target.

[Current duration: 2 days]

Like harvesting vegetables.

"It seems that online communication really does count."

That would be convenient.

Anyway, I've chatted with Zhou Qianyun sporadically before, so now I just need to make sure to keep things interesting every day.

If they were really in America, as a homeless person, he and Zhou Qianyun, who lived in an affluent neighborhood, probably wouldn't be able to see each other every day.

Thank you, country.

"but......"

Lu Yu glanced at the message that had been withdrawn.

"This guy sent a message around 3 a.m. last night and then deleted it. What does that mean?"

There are so many things in this world that we can't understand, so we might as well eat and drink well.

*

"Give."

Hearing a familiar voice in a daze, and feeling a warm touch on her face, the sleepy Zhou Qianyun lifted her head from her arms.

Lu Yu leaned against the next table, placing the paper bag of steamed buns next to her with one hand, while he picked up a bun with the other and started eating it.

"Oh? Oh, thank you."

Her mind wasn't fully awake yet, and with a soft, nasal voice, Zhou Qianyun subconsciously tidied the stray hairs hanging by her ears.

"Stayed up late playing video games again last night?"

Lu Yu said casually.

"...Wait...when did I stay up all night playing games?"

I woke up.

After Zhou Qianyun finished her rebuttal, she silently pinched the opening of the paper bag, her fingers stroking the edge as she considered her reasoning.

"I can't sleep, it must be because of that milk tea."

"That's Xue Wang, not Cha Yan Yue Se. I can fall asleep right away after drinking their coffee before bed. Please, you're being too weak."

Lu Yu chuckled and didn't press the matter further; quite a few people had already arrived at the honors class classroom.

This includes Sun Di and Xue Ying.

The two girls instinctively shrank back when they saw Lu Yu.

"Alright, here you go."

Lu Yu placed a can of coffee on Zhou Qianyun's table.

The girl stared blankly at the coffee.

"You know, the most torturous feeling is when you're extremely sleepy and drink coffee, your brain wants to sleep but you can't close your eyes. I hope you can experience that too."

Lu Yu leaned closer and whispered in a deliberately affected manner.

"Are you crazy?!"

Zhou Qianyun's expression changed instantly, and she threw a punch.

Lu Yu easily dodged the attack, and in a few steps reached the classroom door. He waved cheekily, and just as he turned his head, he almost bumped into a girl who was about to enter.

"Excuse me... Oh, good morning."

Upon closer inspection, it was Cheng Bailu.

"Good morning."

Cheng Bailu, who had maintained a cold expression, took a half step back. After seeing Lu Yu clearly, her smile softened slightly.

immediately.

Within Lu Yu's field of vision.

Indifferent and cold words surrounded the petite girl.

Even in the midst of poverty and wandering, there are always things worth celebrating. We cherish those special days simply to ignite one or two fireworks of our own in the midst of ordinary life.

[Task: Spend an unforgettable birthday with Cheng Bailu]

[Basic Reward: Unlock a daily check-in task]

Happy new month! Thank you everyone for your votes and monthly passes!
