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

Chapter 21 September 7th, White Dew

Birthday?

Lu Yu was a little confused.

Seeing him staring at her, Cheng Bailu pursed her lips and turned to go inside.

Lu Yu then came to his senses and made way for him.

If we follow the typical pattern of the system's little head stories, the daily check-in after completing this task will most likely involve communicating with Cheng Bailu once a day.

Back in his classroom, Lu Yu checked the calendar on his phone.

September 7th, White Dew, is an auspicious day for weddings, travel, moving, and groundbreaking.

Oh.

Today is White Dew.

She was born on the day of White Dew, hence the name.

If she were born on the day of Frost's Descent, wouldn't she be named Cheng Shuangjiang?

I doubt anyone would name themselves Cheng Qingming or Cheng Liqiu.

No.

When the athletes' march started, everyone slumped downstairs to participate in the flag-raising ceremony, and only then did Lu Yu belatedly realize what was happening.

This task must be completed today, otherwise, if we miss it, we'll have to wait another year.

Radio exercise time.

Lu Yu did the exercises half-heartedly, glancing at Cheng Bailu in the next line.

You look much better today, and you're still working very diligently.

Birthday...

Lu Yu pondered how to complete the task in a logical and straightforward manner.

Honestly, even though Cheng Bailu was his high school girlfriend in the system's timeline, given their current relationship, at least for now, Lu Yu didn't think they could end up together.

To be honest, if Lu Yu finished his exercises later and called her over to say "Happy Birthday," he might be able to complete the task.

But it seems a bit far from being "unforgettable".

Forget it, I'll just set it up.

Lu Yu wasn't one to dwell on things, so he decided to leave his worries to himself after school that afternoon.

At worst, I'll just block the bridge and say a blessing.

Today's training goal has been met.

[Current number of days of consistent training: 4 days]

The morning exercises have ended.

Except for the class that will have the next PE class, everyone rushed to the teaching area.

Amidst the clamor of voices, Cai Qingchuan, the homeroom teacher of the honors class, appeared at the front of their class's line.

She called out to Cheng Bailu and Sun Di.

Lu Yu, who witnessed all of this, pricked up his ears.

"You two, come to my office."

The menopausal female teacher, wearing glasses, spoke in a reserved tone, making it difficult to discern her emotions.

Lu Yu guessed it was about what happened last Friday.

"Lu Yu".

The next moment, Qin Zhijie appeared in front of Lu Yu.

"Come to my office with me."

have to.

I can't run away either.

I'll go then; I have the advantage.

Lu Yu followed Qin Zhijie to the mathematics group office.

When they entered, Cai Qingchuan and the others had just sat down.

Upon seeing the boy enter, Sun Di instinctively shivered.

Cheng Bailu maintained a calm expression, only pursing her lips slightly.

"I've already heard about what happened before school ended on Friday."

Cai Qingchuan is not the kind of homeroom teacher who lets students resolve their conflicts on his own.

Of course, it's also possible that Cheng Bailu is the top student in her grade with a significant lead.

If the holy maiden of such a sect, who could surpass even the top scholars in Yannan and Huaqing, or even the top scholar in the city, were to suffer even the slightest mishap, the principal would be terrified in his dreams.

"...This incident might affect your relationship with your classmates. If you'd like, the school can transfer you to another class."

Unlike Qin Zhijie, who berated students mercilessly, Cai Qingchuan's social remarks were written as "seeking opinions" but read as "advising students to withdraw."

Sun Di's expression was very unpleasant.

"Don't worry, the top classes in the senior year will be reassigned. If your grades are good then, you can still get in. Your teachers will always welcome you."

I've told you this repeatedly, don't be ungrateful.

Lu Yu seemed to have gleaned this meaning from Cai Qingchuan's words.

"I...I'll discuss it with my family."

Sun Di kept his head down, his voice weak and feeble.

"You should go back now."

Cai Qingchuan waved his hand.

Sun Di left the office.

Lu Yu heard this and she burst into tears as soon as she came downstairs.

"As for you, Lu Yu."

Cai Qingchuan glanced at Qin Zhijie beside her before looking at the boy standing next to Cheng Bailu.

She is now speaking as the grade leader, not as the head teacher of the honors class.

"It's good to do things bravely and righteously, but one should always leave room for maneuver and be mindful of boundaries."

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

Cai Qingchuan couldn't hold back his smile.

There will be a next time?

"Old Qin, the rest is up to you."

Qin Zhijie stood up and gestured for Lu Yu to go to the corridor outside the door.

"I don't quite agree with what Teacher Cai said about this matter."

In the sunlight, the two stood facing each other, leaning against the corridor railing.

Qin Zhijie sized up Lu Yu for a moment, then spoke.

"If you ask me, you did the damn right thing. That girl is so young and she's already trying to frame someone. We should have dealt with her severely. Teachers these days are too lenient."

"Old Qin, you're hiding something."

Lu Yu muttered something to himself.

"But let's keep things separate. If you've really improved your grades, then show me your scores on the next monthly exam, and let the other students see them too."

Qin Zhijie patted Lu Yu on the shoulder.

really.

Students with good grades do indeed have privileges.

Even Qin Zhijie himself felt that he was now handsome.

"Also, Cheng Bailu's family situation is a bit complicated. If you two are on good terms, please be a little more mindful of your words. You have no sense of propriety at all. Alright, go back to class now."

Qin Zhijie waved, and Lu Yu turned and went downstairs.

Under the "Elementary Listening" skill, sounds that should not have been heard reached his ears.

"Cheng Bailu, is your father's condition any better now?"

"Yes, she's taking the medication and her condition is quite stable."

"Don't feel burdened. Study hard, and tell me if you have any difficulties. The school will do its best to help you."

"I know."

"By the way, today is your birthday, right? Happy birthday."

"Thank you, Teacher Cai."

"How about I get a few classmates to help us celebrate tonight?"

"No need, Teacher Cai, I don't celebrate my birthday."

After school.

Lu Yu deliberately didn't go to play ball today; he stayed in the classroom to do his homework.

Feng Jiahe was on the night shift, and Lu Heng was working overtime. They ate dinner at the factory canteen and transferred thirty yuan to Lu Yu for dinner so he could take care of himself.

As the song "Walking in the Secret Garden" began, Lu Yu slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked out of the classroom.

I glanced casually at the classroom of the honors class; Cheng Bailu's seat was already empty.

"What, trying to hitch a ride home?"

Just then, they ran into Zhou Qianyun, who was returning from washing her hands.

She must have just come back from the badminton court; her face was flushed, and a few strands of hair were still stuck to her temples.

"No, I'm here to ask you for money for tomorrow's breakfast."

Lu Yu said casually.

Since I'll be chatting with her every day anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to get some freebies.

"...You're dreaming! You want to eat and take everything?"

Zhou Qianyun hesitated for a moment, rolled her eyes at Lu Yu, and went into the classroom.

抠！

Lu Yu didn't indulge Zhou Qianyun and didn't give her time to back out. He went straight downstairs.

Zhou Qianyun's message finally arrived slowly after I walked out of the school gate.

[Qian]: I can't eat steamed buns every day, I want to eat shumai from the market entrance.

Along with the twenty yuan transfer.

[Lu Yu]: Granted.

Without hesitation, Lu Yu accepted the transfer. He looked up and saw a slightly empty No. 11 bus pass by the station and drive away.

The mission is probably off.

With a soft sigh, Lu Yu continued reading.

At the bus stop, Cheng Bailu, carrying a schoolbag, was standing there.

Upon catching sight of Lu Yu, the girl pursed her lips and spoke, as if explaining or persuading.

"That car was too crowded."

OK.

The two waited silently on the platform until the next No. 11 bus arrived, and then boarded it one after the other.

This trip was a bit crowded, with no seats available. The two stood side by side, Lu Yu holding onto the handrail and Cheng Bailu holding onto the back of the seat. As the bus started and braked, their arms would occasionally touch.

Each time they touched, they felt as if the other wanted to say something, but all they got in return was silence.

"I've arrived at my stop. Goodbye."

"We've arrived at the cotton mill station," Cheng Bailu said softly, noticing that Lu Yu wasn't wearing headphones.

"Um."

Lu Yu responded and watched the girl in the school uniform with a ponytail get off the bus through the back door, then sighed softly.

Forget it.

I was seventeen years old.

At this age, the whole world belongs to me.

Lao Tzu is invincible and omnipotent.

They can do anything.

Why worry about so much!

Then.
