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

Chapter 66 Holding Hands

Lu Yu and Cheng Bailu both looked at the two holding hands.

The fingers are intertwined, and can easily separate if one of them shakes their hand.

But at this moment, their hands are still clasped together.

"No, it's alright, thank you, Lu Yu."

Cheng Bailu lowered her head. The emotions from just now had subsided, and now shyness and excitement once again took over her mind.

He really hasn't let go...

"Should we go back and tell your homeroom teacher?"

Lu Yu changed the subject.

My heart is beating so fast, it's all because of the [lucky charm]!

It must be the fault of these symptoms that make people blush and their hearts race when they are near the object of the talisman, causing them to lose control of themselves!

"Yes, I'll take it."

Cheng Bailu nodded, and just as she was about to turn back upstairs, she realized that the two of them were still holding hands.

Hmm, if I go to see Teacher Cai, then I'll have to let go.

It's not because I'm afraid of anything, it's just that I don't want him to be put in a difficult position by Teacher Cai.

She stopped in her tracks, a fierce internal struggle raging within her.

"Hmm, it's not really appropriate to go up there again. I'll send a message to Teacher Cai to explain the situation."

,

Just this once, just this once. I promise I'll follow the rules from now on.

Our top student in the grade made a decision that went against ancestral teachings.

"Shall we go back and pack?"

Given all this, Lu Yu was even less likely to let go.

"Uh-huh."

The two of them then walked back.

Wait a minute, if we go back to the classroom like this, won't everyone see us?

Are you only just realizing this now?

I thought you had already mentally prepared yourself.

Lu Yu thought for a moment, then moved closer to Cheng Bailu. Their arms touched, and their school uniforms rubbed against each other.

Why did he suddenly get so close? Hmm, this way, it seems less likely that people will see them holding hands.

So... he doesn't want to let go either?

You've been talking too much, Cheng Bailu.

The two walked silently toward the classroom without saying a word.

It's just a few short steps.

For the two of them, however, it felt as long as life itself.

A noisy campus, dappled shade from the trees, a cool breeze in early autumn, golden rays of the setting sun, a boy and a girl holding hands.

Whenever a shout comes from afar, the two of them will tighten their grip on each other's hands and move closer together.

It's like being an accomplice who shares a secret.

What binds their hands together is some kind of forbidden sin that cannot be seen by others.

Fortunately, "Walking in the Secret Garden" had already been played, and most of the students who had been looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday had already left, leaving only a few people.

Go upstairs.

The sound of hurried footsteps came from upstairs, and a boy carrying a bag rushed downstairs.

Lu Yu immediately moved to the side, protecting the petite girl, and waited for the impetuous student to pass by before slowly creating some distance between them.

They exchanged a glance.

They both noticed the same thing.

Just now, he showed absolutely no intention of letting go.

Just now, she had no intention of letting go.

Their voices resonated with each other.

A buzzing sound reached Lu Yu's ears, and he could clearly realize that there seemed to be a "crackling" sound in the air just now. In that narrow space between eternity and the fleeting moment, a certain emotion planted a seed in his heart that could sprout at any time.

Since Cheng Bailu's things were still in Class 7, the two of them first peeked towards Class 7.

There wasn't a single person there.

[Thank goodness, but I should relax when I get back to our class later, otherwise... she might see it.]

Are you searching for enemies in the void?

Who is she? Could she be Zhou Qianyun?

Lu Yu glanced subconsciously at the classroom of the honors class; it seemed that some students had not yet left.

Upon reaching the table, the two realized that holding hands made it inconvenient to tidy up.

"Then, I'll get ready first."

"OK."

The two were still holding hands.

...Should we...?

'

Cheng Bailu stared at the spot where their hands were clasped together.

If I give in first, will it give him a bad impression?

"Yes."

Lu Yu responded.

It's not loose.

"Or, how about we both let go at the same time?"

"Okay, I'll count down: three, two, one."

It still hasn't loosened.

Is this some kind of battle of wits over love?

"Okay, okay, I'll loosen my grip first. I just felt your hands were cold and wanted to warm them up for you."

After offering a weak and feeble explanation, Lu Yu released his grip.

"Okay, thank you."

Cheng Bailu looked at the hand that Lu Yu had just been holding, gently closed it, and then grasped it again.

Next time, it's my turn to let go first.

There will be a next time?

Cheng Bailu, you're so greedy!

The two packed their things. Cheng Bailu picked up her textbooks and pencil case and went back to the honors class classroom, while Lu Yu stood at the door with his bag on his back.

Peek out cautiously.

Thankfully, Zhou Qianyun isn't here; her schoolbag is gone too, so she must have already gone home.

You seem to be stealing something, Xiao Cheng.

She hurriedly slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked toward Lu Yu at the door.

I glanced at his hand instinctively.

Hmm, it's probably not a good time to bring up holding hands again, since we don't really have any reason to anymore.

There are quite a few minor anxieties.

The two walked down the road side by side, their elbows and shoulders occasionally brushing against each other, their palms touching, like twin stars in the distant deep sky, drawing near and then drifting away.

The sycamore-lined path gradually turned golden; stepping on it, it crunched and crunched, making it hard to tell whether you were crushing fallen leaves or the setting sun.

As they walked out of the school gate, the afterglow fell directly on them, their school uniforms reflecting light so brightly it was almost blinding.

Cheng Bailu subconsciously raised her hand to block it.

Then, Lu Yu reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Let's go, this way."

"what?"

[Is the bus coming so fast...? Ah, my hand.]

The girl, who hadn't reacted at first, thought they were late getting home. But when she came to her senses, she realized that the two of them were holding hands again.

The seeds that had been planted long ago have taken root and sprouted, their new green leaves so vibrant and lush that they tremble slightly when touched, both adorable and clumsy.

With her head bowed, Cheng Bailu could clearly feel the cool, golden autumn breeze brushing against her cheeks.

It wasn't the cool breeze, but rather my face that was burning.

At the bus stop, two high school students in school uniforms stood together. The girl looked down at the tips of her shoes, while the boy calmly watched the cars go by. They held hands, and the orange twilight fell on them, like a faded photograph from the deepest part of their memories.

What's that little girl thinking? Why is she so quiet?

Lu Yu casually noted down the license plates of the cars on the road, while secretly keeping an eye on the girl beside him.

But soon, he suddenly realized something.

The system still owes me a thousand yuan.

Moreover, this "lucky charm" lasts for six hours, which means that I have to stay by Cheng Bailu's side until midnight today.

Panic.

It's not that I panicked being around Cheng Bailu, but rather, what excuse could I give for staying so late?

Should I take you, Sister Bailu, to an internet cafe for an all-nighter?

Wait a minute, we probably won't be able to get in. No matter how I think about it, we can't get in.

According to the system's pattern, the "Temporary Frenzy" event occurs because of the reward distribution; you either wait for the duration to end or receive the reward.

To get a reward, you generally have to try your luck everywhere.

Rewards don't fall from the sky when you're staying home, Lu Yu.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu glanced again at the girl beside him, whose mind was blank.

He cleared his throat and began to speak.

What are you planning to do tonight?

"Huh? Shouldn't I be doing my homework?"

Why did he suddenly ask that? It seems like he has another meaning. I'm not sure, I'll wait and see.

"With three days off, there should be plenty of time to do homework. How about we do it tonight?"

"Hmm."

That's right. I'll go with my parents tomorrow, help out at the community center the day after, and then cover for someone the day after that. I can finish all my homework tomorrow, and I'll definitely have some free time tonight.

Those who know you will understand that this is a holiday arrangement, but those who don't might think you're some kind of working soldier.

"So, do you have any plans to go out tonight?"

Lu Yu revealed his true intentions at the end of the journey.

"what?"

[Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?]

Is he inviting me? Tonight?

"Yeah, yeah, look, we all have our own things to do during the Mid-Autumn Festival. So why don't we find a place to go out and have some fun tonight, and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together?"

Lu Yu found himself a flawless reason.

You're talking nonsense! Did the girl even speak to you?

Cheng Bailu looked at Lu Yu, seemingly deep in thought and struggling, but in reality, judging from her silent inner voice, the girl's mind was completely blank at that moment.

About ten seconds passed.

Cheng Bailu shifted her gaze, her other hand lightly pinching the cuff of her sleeve.

Lu Yu then realized that in those ten seconds or so, she hadn't hesitated or struggled; she had simply been shocked.

And she gets her answer in a second.

"Then, I'll stay with you until Mid-Autumn Festival."
