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

When Lu Yu woke up, his mouth still hurt.

"Ouch, this position made me bite myself."

He sat up, licked his lips which seemed to have been bitten raw, and felt warm from the sun; he could almost smell the burnt mites that had died in the sun.

I slept for about forty minutes.

It seemed that Zhou Qianyun had gotten up at one point, and Lu Yu had managed to catch a little sound with his [Elementary Listening], but since Zhou Qianyun couldn't do anything, Lu Yu simply blocked it.

The living room was quiet, and her bedroom door remained tightly closed.

"Is this thing a pig? It can sleep so much."

Leaning back on the sofa, Lu Yu took out his phone and casually started a game.

I have to say, my gaming skills seem to have improved a tiny bit.

Around six o'clock, which is normal time to cook, he walked to the door of Zhou Qianyun's bedroom.

Knock on the door.

no response.

I listened for a moment; it was steady breathing.

"I'm coming in?"

Lu Yu turned the doorknob.

A faint milky aroma wafted into my nose.

Zhou Qianyun's bedroom was very girly; the wardrobe, bed, and blankets were all pink. There was also a large pile of dolls next to the bed against the wall, which Lu Yu had won back last time. Just as she said, they were placed on the bedside table, in a position where she could see them as soon as she opened her eyes.

On the table were exercise books and reference books, a draft notebook, a familiar fountain pen, a half-empty water glass, and an opened ibuprofen bottle. Besides textbooks and supplementary teaching materials, there were also some decorative items she had received as birthday gifts from her best friend on the bookshelf.

The chamber pot that Lu Yu "gave" to her was placed in the most conspicuous position, surrounded by gifts that Lu Yu had given her over the years.

This woman has a really twisted sense of humor, doesn't she?

The air conditioner was cool and refreshing. Zhou Qianyun snuggled into the soft blankets, closed her eyes, and remained quiet.

Her pale cherry-colored lips were slightly pursed, and her sleeping face had a faint sense of melancholy, perhaps due to menstrual cramps. However, the expression in her eyes made her seem even more pitiful.

God is so unfair, how could He have given this woman such a magnificent face?

Lu Yu's heart skipped a beat.

It's all because of the fragrance in this room; even Zhou Qianyun looks more beautiful.

"Hey, wake up."

Lu Yu tugged at Zhou Qianyun's blanket. The girl frowned, moved her head, but didn't open her eyes.

"If you don't get up, I'm pulling off the covers."

no response.

Lu Yu pinched the blanket next to her face and pulled it slightly.

The cold air from the air conditioner leaked in, and Zhou Qianyun made a soft, nasal sound of displeasure. She turned over and rolled the blanket back up.

"Looks like I'll have to resort to some tricks."

Lu Yu placed his hand on the air conditioner vent to cool it down, then went to the foot of the bed, grabbed the blanket, and gently lifted it.

Zhou Qianyun's two tender feet were crossed, looking soft, white, and fleshy, with rounded, slightly curled toes, like pearls.

Lu Yu wasn't a glutton, and besides, he did nibble on things when he was playing around as a child, so the myth about it has long been dispelled.

I stretched out my cool hand and grabbed my warm toes.

"hiss--"

Zhou Qianyun jolted awake and suddenly opened her eyes.

Looking down, Lu Yu was using his icy hands to warm his feet.

"What are you doing?!"

Zhou Qianyun was suddenly startled, her whole body trembled, and she hurriedly withdrew her foot.

"If you're satisfied with Yu Zi Ge's customized wake-up service, please give us a five-star review!~"

Lu Yu did not linger on the soft touch and straightened up.

"Get out! Get out of here! Get out, get out, get out, get out!"

Realizing what Lu Yu had just done, Zhou Qianyun curled up in the blanket, her face flushed. It seemed that even her period cramps had been taken away by Lu Yu's grab.

"Your sleeping posture is so ugly, you're drooling."

Lu Yu jokingly remarked leisurely.

Zhou Qianyun was taken aback, and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, only to find that Lu Yu was not telling the truth.

"Get out! Who let you in!"

"Alright, get ready and get up. I'm going to start cooking."

Lu Yu waved the hand that had grabbed her foot earlier, left the room, and closed the door behind him.

Zhou Qianyun huddled under the covers, her chest heaving, her heart pounding.

...He probably didn't notice.

I glanced at the desk subconsciously.

On a corner of the draft paper, hidden by the textbook, were written several names of Lu Yu.

Number of corpses successfully collected and processed: 10

Congratulations on completing the task!

Collecting and disposing of unclaimed, unattended corpses is a difficult task, not only because of the rotting and stench, but also because you know very well that if you fall below the threshold of execution, you could become one of them.

[Task Completion Status: Excellent]

[Reward: Beginner Cooking Skill]

"Those who open their mouths aren't afraid of those who have nothing to lose."

The reward will be issued immediately; please check your account.

In the kitchen, Lu Yu, having washed his hands, finished preparing all the chopped ingredients. He put down the knife, and indifferent, cold words appeared on the cutting board.

Suddenly.

Lu Yu felt the air grow colder, and a faint aroma of vegetables wafted over.

It's a tomato.

Not only that.

In the kitchen, the aromas of various seasonings mingled, and Lu Yu could accurately distinguish each unique scent.

He casually tasted the soy sauce.

The flavor is distinct and layered; in fact, with his eyes closed, he could almost feel the sunlight that had once drenched the soybeans used to brew the soy sauce.

Therefore, basic cooking skills first improve the sense of smell and taste, which makes the dishes taste better?

Closing his eyes, Lu Yu recalled some familiar recipes and suddenly gained many new insights. Furthermore, with the improved understanding of ingredient pairings, the dishes would also acquire unique health benefits.

It's alright.

only......

God the hell, those who open their mouths aren't afraid of those who have nothing to lose; the system must be a glutton.

Lu Yu glanced at his hands and unconsciously sniffed them.

It was washed clean and normally there was no smell, but if you smelled it carefully, there seemed to be a tiny bit of the milky scent from Zhou Qianyun's room.

"...What are you smelling?"

Zhou Qianyun's voice came out suddenly, and Lu Yu turned his head abruptly.

She was wearing a light blue pajama set with cloud prints, sandals, and her hair was soft and flowing. Any normal high school student who saw a girl like that would be instantly smitten.

"...Let me smell if there's any lingering smell of your feet."

"Lu Yu, you pervert, do you want to die?"

The girl pretended to throw her slipper, but after thinking about it, she let Lu Yu go.

What if he really is a pervert? Wouldn't throwing away the slipper be letting him off easy?

"When will the food be ready? I'm hungry."

Zhou Qianyun patted her way into the kitchen and peered around.

"It'll be ready soon, just wait until you starve to death."

"roll!"

Zhou Qianyun gently pinched Lu Yu's waist, then strode away, turning back at the door as she did so.

"You stay here and don't move. I'll get you some oranges."

"There's absolutely no need for that."

Zhu Ziqing probably never imagined that, many years later, his essays would become classic ethical memes on the internet.

Lu Yu began to prepare the spare ribs.

[Basic Cooking Skills] made his movements agile and skillful, and he quickly completed most of the preparations.

Pat pat pat—

The sound of sandals rustling was accompanied by a slightly sour smell.

"Don't rush, kid, I'm cooking."

Lu Yu replied without turning his head.

The next moment, something was stuffed into his mouth.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the sandals Zhou Qianyun had worn, but rather a few peeled orange segments.

"...It's quite sweet."

Lu Yu looked at Zhou Qianyun suspiciously, thinking that her desire to become a mother was too strong.

"That's good, I can eat it without worry."

That's fine then. So you're making me a test subject for poison?

Zhou Qianyun ate the few segments in her hand with a contented smile, then peeled an orange, broke it into several segments, stood on tiptoe, and stuffed one of the segments toward Lu Yu, who was beating eggs.

"Sweetie."

"It's so sour, don't eat it, give it all to me."

Lu Yu didn't turn his head.

"Hmph, dream on."

Behind her, Zhou Qianyun put a segment of orange into her mouth, a faint smile on her lips.

It is indeed very sweet.

especially.

This orange that I ate with him.
