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

Zhou Qianyun was still working on her extra physics practice test.

The photo was just sent to her by a classmate who stayed at No. 2 Middle School for high school. As soon as Zhou Qianyun opened the chat box, she saw Lu Yu and Cheng Bailu walking together. It was the same road in front of No. 2 Middle School that she and Lu Yu had walked for three years.

"hehe."

Zhou Qianyun immediately sneered and forwarded the message to Lu Yu with a comment.

Thirty seconds later, the phone vibrated.

[Lu Yu]: Are you jealous?

【浅】：Idiot.

[Qian]: Please bring me some steamed buns from the factory gate tomorrow. I haven't had them in ages.

Lu Yu: ?

[Qian]: Should I send this photo to my aunt?

[Lu Yu]: Go ahead and post it. If my mom sees me shopping for reference books at the book fair with the top student in the grade, she'll be grinning from ear to ear.

Lu Yu knew very well that he couldn't indulge her at a time like this.

Zhou Qianyun's reason for asking was not some childhood sweetheart jealousy, but rather to leave Lu Yu with a handle to blackmail him in the future.

Lu Yu, you don't want your mother to find out about your early romance with a girl, do you? — So be it.

Therefore, Lu Yu preferred to be a broken piece of jade rather than a whole piece of tile.

"Ayu!"

Feng Jiahe's shouts came from the kitchen.

[Lu Yu]: What kind of filling do you want?

Being flexible about one's bottom line is an essential survival skill for modern young people.

"Come help me serve the dishes."

Feng Jiahe's next sentence immediately made Lu Yu strongly suspect that Zhou Qianyun had installed a camera in his home.

"oh."

Lu Yu put down his phone and went to the kitchen to help his mother bring the stir-fried dishes to the table.

On the other end of the radio wave, Zhou Qianyun saw the news that Lu Yu had been arrogant at first but then became obsequious, and she burst out laughing.

She gently brushed the hair that had fallen beside her ear, her small feet in slippers crossing one after another as she typed words with a rather cheerful mood.

[Qian]: Oh my, it seems you're really talking about it.

I waited for five seconds, but there was no reply.

Slowing down her footwork, Zhou Qianyun scrolled through their chat history, waited another ten seconds, then locked her phone, put it down, and continued working on her problems.

I have no ideas.

The physics course in the second year of high school seems to have become a bit more difficult.

After scribbling a few lines on the draft paper, Zhou Qianyun picked up her phone again. She deliberately didn't open QQ, which had a red dot on it, but instead watched a short video of a girl playing the piano before opening QQ.

The red dot indicates a group of girls.

I immediately put down my phone, got up, and went to the living room. It was empty; my father was out socializing today, and my mother was still cooking.

Given Zhou Qianyun's family situation, it's normal to hire a cook. However, they are an ordinary family that has worked their way up step by step, and many of their habits are hard to change. They still prefer to cook at home.

The food at Lu Yu's house is also good; Aunt Feng's sweet and sour pork ribs are delicious.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qianyun got up, returned to her desk, turned off all her phone notifications, picked up her pen, and focused on writing the questions.

It wasn't until more than twenty minutes later, when her mother called her to eat, that Zhou Qianyun stretched out her yawns, which were so tight they were almost touching her chest, and got up to glance at her phone.

[Lu Yu]: What's the point of talking? I accidentally broke someone's workbook at noon, so I bought a new one to compensate them in the evening.

It also comes with a little bear shrug emoji.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Zhou Qianyun's lips.

[Shallow]: Serves you right!

She put down her phone and walked lightly to the living room.

"Is it Chinese New Year?"

Lu Heng, wearing blue overalls stained with engine oil, came home to find stir-fried pork belly with green peppers and sliced ​​roast duck on the table. He raised an eyebrow and subconsciously went through his wife and children's birthdays and anniversaries, realizing that today was just an ordinary day.

"Ah Yu went to buy reference books and won a prize—a thousand dollars!"

Feng Jiahe, who was smiling, took the work clothes her husband had taken off. She noticed the oil stains on them, frowned, but didn't say anything. She took them to the restroom.

"Wow, a thousand dollars, that'll have to be spent on extra food."

Lu Heng went to the kitchen to wash his hands and came back to sit down.

"Buying reference books? Didn't you already buy several practice papers? Why are you buying more?"

"Yeah, I wanted to catch up on my physics studies. A classmate who got good grades recommended a good reference book, so I bought it."

Lu Yu spoke frankly and explained the process of winning the lottery.

Lu Heng paused, holding his chopsticks, and turned to look at his son, who had previously preferred watching others operate excavators to doing his homework.

"I'm afraid it'll just be a short-lived enthusiasm; I haven't even opened the ones I bought before."

After washing the collar of her work clothes, Feng Jiahe returned to the living room and sat down opposite Lu Heng.

"Maybe if you open it now, you might win another prize."

Lu Yu made a joke, which served as a heads-up for the system's later reward distribution.

"Ayu, this money is yours to keep. You can buy whatever you want, but try not to be too extravagant."

Lu Heng added another instruction.

"Yes, I understand."

Lu Yu nodded.

"However, people say that there is a golden house in books, but I never expected that the gold would actually be hidden inside the books."

Lu Heng stroked his chin, realizing that winning this prize was truly a bit of a mystery.

"Stop joking around, let's eat."

Feng Jiahe urged with a smile.

I don't know if it's just Lu Yu's imagination.

His parents were happier when they heard that he wanted to study hard than when they heard that he had won a thousand dollars.

After the meal, Lu Yu washed the dishes.

When they were little, Lu Heng discussed with him that in order to make Feng Jiahe work less hard, Lu Yu would give him 50 cents of pocket money for washing the dishes. Lu Yu, who was still in elementary school, happily went to wash the dishes.

From then on, he washed all the dishes at home, but Lu Yu never saw any pocket money.

Cunning adult!

Back in his room, Lu Yu closed the door and glanced at his phone. His classmates in the new class had created several group chats, discussing basketball, games, abstract videos, and there was also a team invitation from his deskmate, Shen Liyuan.

[Shen Liyuan]: Hurry up, log in! If you're not here in ten seconds, I'll melt your account down!

[Lu Yu]: Get lost.

He put his phone aside and took out his math homework, a set of small test papers.

Just as I was about to pick up my pen, there was a knock on the door.

After receiving Lu Yu's response, Feng Jiahe brought over a cup of hot milk.

"Drink it while it's hot when you're growing."

She put down her cup and glanced at Lu Yu's desk, only leaving the room reassured when she saw the papers laid out on the table.

"?"

Although Feng Jiahe usually urges him to drink milk, this is the kind of service one gives a child.

Lu Yu took a sip of milk and looked at the test paper in front of him. It was a copy of the test paper handwritten by the homeroom teacher, Qin Zhijie. It would take a normal student about forty minutes to finish.

Having just been interrupted while casting his spell, Lu Yu's brush was already itching for more.

"Here's a question!"

He solved the multiple-choice questions in a flash; there were only two questions that made Lu Yu pick up a pen, and he solved the rest in his head.

The fill-in-the-blank questions were interesting. They looked simple and ordinary, but they were actually trap questions with two solutions. No wonder Qin the old scoundrel had them lying in wait.

As for the major questions, well, those three questions that embody the culmination of this old man's twenty years of hard work in the field of high school mathematics are nothing more than withered bones in Lu Yu's writing today.

Write the equation, calculate, and solve.

At the end of the sea of ​​questions, who stands at the peak? Upon seeing Lu Yu, all hope is lost.

Teacher Qin, I did it!

As he finished writing, Lu Yu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the cup beside him, and gently blew on it.

This milk is still warm!

I glanced at the time.

Less than ten minutes had passed.

Ten minutes?

Lu Yu was taken aback.

He underestimated his own cheat code.

While he wasn't quite as frantic as he was at noon, his efficiency in solving problems under normal circumstances was truly astonishing.

but.

"That feels so good."

For the first time, Lu Yu felt a sense of exhilaration while solving problems.

The feeling of having those alluring, seductive, and charming topics gradually unraveled in his hands, revealing their true nature, and then being completely crushed by him in a precise and ruthless manner, turning them into playthings that he could manipulate at will, was exhilarating.

This is vibrant; it makes me feel alive.

Family members, doing practice problems is really addictive!

The more difficult and wild the questions, the stronger the thrill of conquering them. That sense of control and dominance made Lu Yu feel that in that shell-like universe of exam papers, he was the only king.

"Not enough, let's have more!"

Lu Yu then brought up the physics homework, a small test paper that the teacher had given out.

Physics problems that used to seem like gibberish to Lu Yu are now gradually revealing their true nature in his eyes, and those mysterious and profound principles are slowly unfolding in his mind.

However, given Lu Yu's weak foundation, even though he was able to glimpse the Dao of Heaven through the power of mathematics, it was extremely difficult for him to actually grasp it.

After working for more than ten minutes, he gave up and opened the book "Problem-Solving Awakening" that Cheng Bailu had recommended.

"...So that's how it is."

Looking at the questions, he realized that this was not a reference book at all, but a secret manual of immortal techniques. The confusion and bewilderment that had been shrouding his thoughts before crumbled in an instant.

While not as overwhelming as a math problem, this physics question still gave Lu Yu an extraordinary thirty minutes of tax evasion experience.

After finishing physics, Lu Yu, still feeling unsatisfied, turned to English.

I got sleepy in less than ten minutes.

"...Now that things have come to this, it's time to slack off."

As if he were staring directly at something indescribable, Lu Yu lost his previous arrogance and immediately put down his pen.

After a period of intense activity involving both physical exercises and problem-solving, Lu Yu finally washed up and went to bed around midnight.

Perhaps it was because he had used his brain too much, but that day he slept like a baby.

early morning.

What woke Lu Yu was not an alarm clock, nor a dream, but the system's indifferent and cold words.

Congratulations on completing the task!

Nestled in the warm blankets, you enjoy a long-awaited peaceful sleep. You begin to miss the time before you started wandering, those fragments of memories called home. Start anew; one day, you will have it again.

[Task Completion Status: Perfect]

[Increased Rewards: An additional daily check-in task has been added]

"Oh! Home, my sweet home!"

When Lu Yu opened his eyes in a daze, even more text popped up, filling his entire field of vision.
