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

The commotion from the basketball court eventually reached the badminton court.

"It seems Lu Yu is injured."

Ji Xuan was tall and could see far. She peeked out and saw that Lu Yu had already disappeared and gone to the infirmary alone.

"...You guys go first, I'll go check it out."

Without hesitation, Zhou Qianyun handed the racket to Cheng Bailu beside her and jogged towards the infirmary.

Cheng Bailu looked at the racket in her hand, then at the direction Zhou Qianyun had left, hesitating to speak.

"Then Cheng Bailu, you can fill in."

Ji Xuan immediately said to her.

"......Um."

Cheng Bailu looked away with some hesitation.

Medical room.

"Doctor, how much time do I have left?"

"About half a class period."

The school doctor, holding iodine and cotton swabs, looked at Lu Yu, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, with annoyance.

"If you had come any slower, the scabs would have already formed."

"Ouch—be gentle, doctor, I'm still a baby!"

When iodine comes into contact with a wound, the stinging sensation is even more intense than when you rub your hand against the ground.

"Alright, just apply iodine solution when you get home, and it should be fine once it scabs over."

As the doctor gave instructions and got up to screw the iodine bottle back on, footsteps came from the doorway.

"Another one?"

He curiously peered over.

A girl with a high ponytail, wearing a sports uniform, ran over with a slightly nervous expression.

"Doctor, is Lu Yu here?"

As soon as Zhou Qianyun asked the question, she caught a glimpse of Lu Yu sitting on the edge of the hospital bed behind the doctor.

Well, looks like everything's alright.

"I'm fine. I'm next door. Call me if you feel unwell."

The doctor glanced at the two of them, then wisely went to the next office, leaving the medical room to the two young people.

What are you doing here?

Lu Yu adopted a wary expression.

As we all know, when a girl visits a boy, there are generally only two possibilities: first, she likes him; second, it's part of a tiered plan.

"How about I just tell you three fairy tales?"

"?"

Zhou Qianyun wondered if she had missed watching an episode.

"His leg wasn't broken, but his brain was damaged first?"

She casually moved a chair to the bedside, lowered her eyes to look at Lu Yu's wound, which had been treated with iodine, and frowned slightly.

"You're so fragile, how could you fall and get like this while playing ball?"

She looked up and examined Lu Yu, as if checking for any other external injuries.

"It's all the school's fault; the basketball court floor is so rough."

Lu Yu tried to pull down his trouser leg, but Zhou Qianyun grabbed his wrist. The girl's palm was icy cold and soft.

"No, wait until the medicine dries and the blood clots before we talk about it, otherwise it's easy to get an infection."

"...Just like my mom."

Lu Yu muttered something, then lowered his hand, and Zhou Qianyun finally let go of him.

"You too, if you can't out-bump someone in a ball game, just hold back a bit, why do you have to fight for it?"

"Are you kidding? You think I'd avoid his sharp edge?"

"Hmph, you're the only one who'll be in pain anyway. Don't blame me if you end up crippled and nobody wants you."

She turned her face away and looked out the window.

The wind rustled the curtains, causing the girl's hair to flutter by her ears. The shouts of students could be heard from outside, seemingly far away on the horizon. Looking up, all that could be seen was an endless expanse of blue.

"Aren't you going back to play badminton?"

Lu Yu asked casually.

"I'm tired, time to relax and fish for a bit."

Zhou Qianyun got up and casually examined the medicine cabinet.

"What are you looking for? Our school doesn't have nitroglycerin; we can't make explosives."

"Get some saline solution, I'll get you a bottle for your wound."

"Holy crap, you woman are so vicious!"

"Can you still walk? I heard that disabled people get preferential treatment in the college entrance examination. Why don't you get a disability certificate first? At least you won't have to pay for bus rides in the future."

"I can't leave now. It's all your fault for cursing me earlier. You have to take responsibility and take care of me for the rest of my life."

"?"

Zhou Qianyun turned her head and glanced at Lu Yu's wound. She felt a little guilty, but also thought he was talking nonsense.

"You could hear that? Were you secretly watching my every move, you little rascal!"

"Your voice sounded like it was being broadcast over the whole school."

Lu Yu countered sharply.

[Beginner Listening] It's really useful; it's incredibly effective at getting leverage over people.

Don't catch me cricketing behind my back!

"Then I'll reluctantly take you home tonight."

Zhou Qianyun sat back down, placing her hands on the sides of the chair, her white sneakers twitching slightly.

"No need, I'm afraid you'll take advantage of my inability to move around and sell me to Gayao in northern Myanmar."

Lu Yu resolutely refused.

Firstly, he had made an appointment with Cheng Bailu, and it wouldn't be appropriate to stand her up. Secondly, Lu Yu was somewhat reluctant to ride in Zhou Qianyun's car, as it would give him the feeling that the gap between them was being blatantly laid bare.

"Hmph, my good intentions have been wasted."

Zhou Qianyun didn't insist. She glanced at the clock on the wall; get out of class was almost over.

"By the way, isn't Thursday the day after tomorrow Teacher's Day? We're going back to No. 2 Middle School to visit our old homeroom teacher after school. You have to come!"

"So much for the ceremony?"

"Our old teacher will retire in two years, which will be a successful retirement."

Zhou Qianyun sighed.

"You almost didn't finish high school back then, and you were only able to come here thanks to your homeroom teacher. Shouldn't you go see her?"

"Indeed, she even gave me her family's secret recipe back then. I can never repay my old teacher's kindness."

Lu Yu sighed.

"Remind me when you go back to school."

Although Lu Yu's breakthrough performance in his third year of junior high school was mainly due to his own efforts, it also owed much to the review materials his homeroom teacher had compiled for him.

Both emotionally and logically, he really couldn't be absent.

The bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.

There's no time to play ball during today's extracurricular activities, but I still need to complete the system tasks.

Lu Yu stood up and took out his meal card.

"I asked the school doctor to settle the medical bills."

"Don't move."

Zhou Qianyun walked out of the infirmary first. Lu Yu wanted to call her back, but then cold, indifferent words appeared in his field of vision.

Congratulations on completing the task!

After much difficulty, you have finally healed your wounds and avoided falling into a death trap. Live well; today's scars will be tomorrow's medals.

[Task Completion Status: Perfect]

[Reward increased to 1500 yuan]

"It's okay, I have health insurance."

The reward will be sent out within 90 minutes. Please check your account.

When Lu Yu saw the system message, his first reaction was, "Does this mean my guaranteed drop is gone?"

However, he quickly checked and confirmed that this was not a kill line adventure quest.

Fortunately.

It's unlikely that the guaranteed pull will be wiped out by the pull before the 120-pull guarantee.

As for when the reward will be distributed, I guess it will be after school.

As he stepped out of the infirmary, Zhou Qianyun was already waiting in the corridor, handing him a box of iodine swabs.

"Apply it once in the morning, noon, and night, don't forget."

"How much is it? I'll transfer it to you later."

"No need. Didn't you say you wanted me to take responsibility? Just consider it reimbursement for your medical expenses."

As Zhou Qianyun spoke, she glanced at Lu Yu's knees.

"Can you walk? If you beg me, I might be able to help you back."

"It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Lu Yu moved his leg; although the movement caused a slight stinging pain from the wound, it didn't affect his walking.

"I'm going back to the classroom first. Why don't you go to the playground to find Ji Xuan and the others?"

"Um."

Zhou Qianyun nodded and then took out a hundred-yuan bill from her pocket and handed it over.

Rich lady, do you carry so much money with you?

"What?"

Lu Yu was confused. If this was a system reward, there wasn't enough money.

"I'm going to try something different for breakfast tomorrow. I haven't had steamed rice cakes from the market in ages, so please bring me two."

Zhou Qianyun orders food.

"That's a bit too much, isn't it? Are you having a state banquet breakfast?"

Lu Yu took the money with a puzzled look.

"The fee for chatting, haven't you been talking about it all along?"

Zhou Qianyun said matter-of-factly and turned around.

"The remaining money is the prepaid chat fee."

From an angle that Lu Yu couldn't see, the girl's lips were pursed, her smile deep.
