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

Chapter 73 I Like You Too

Silence filled the movie theater tonight.

All the audience members were stunned when they heard Lu Yu's words and saw the four characters written by Cheng Bailu.

Immediately, a soft rustling sound echoed.

Indeed, isn't the relationship between lovers simply about "I like you" and "Do you like me?"

My eyes were born just to see this; the God of Pure Love has finally stood up!

Tonight's movie is perfect for the elite, and the interaction between this young couple is absolutely amazing!

It's rare for a couple to be young at heart; if they can really stay together until the end, that would be wonderful!

All a girl needs is a simple "I like you" from her boyfriend, and the boy understands her feelings. They're a match made in heaven!

Consider this shopping card a gift to you guys, but damn it, if the mall doesn't reimburse me!

Lu Yu overheard this remark.

Amidst the surging discussions, in that noisy silence, she met his gaze.

Thank you, Lu Yu.

Unspoken gratitude replaced all the noise.

Meeting you truly brightened my world.

*

You have successfully claimed your reward. Keep up the good work and embrace a wonderful life!

After receiving the shopping card from the staff, Lu Yu glanced at the rules of use.

Yes, it works in most shops in the mall. You can use it to buy clothes, eat, play games, or watch movies.

The supermarket downstairs doesn't accept it.

After that, the expenses for going out with Cheng Bailu were covered.

"This event has been going on for so long, and you two are the first couple to receive a reward."

The staff member in charge of distributing the awards remarked with emotion.

"There was even a couple who argued and threatened to break up after guessing the first question because their answers were different. It's really touching. Anyway, I wish you happiness."

Lu Yu and Cheng Bailu responded and then left the movie theater.

The mall was already closed and quiet, except for the elevator leading to the first floor, which was still lit up.

Because they had won the prize and left early without following the crowd, they were the only two people in the dimly lit mall.

Lu Yu reached out and took Cheng Bailu's hand as they walked through the quiet and empty shopping mall.

"I'll keep the shopping card, and I'll transfer half the money to you."

The system credited him with 1,000 yuan. Lu Yu didn't hesitate or get greedy, and immediately asked for more.

"Ah, but you were the one guessing all along, I didn't do anything."

Cheng Bailu waved her hand, refusing to split the money equally.

"That depends on your cooperation. Just keep it. At worst, we can use it as activity funds when we go out to play in the future."

Lu Yu said casually.

The girl remained silent for a while.

Since we're talking about going out to play sometime in the future—

It kept repeating to myself.

Is this the key point?

"Oh well."

He nodded and accepted Lu Yu's transfer.

[I can save the thousand yuan and buy him a gift during the holidays.]

Silly girl.

Lu Yu couldn't help but purse his lips.

The girl next to me looks aloof and indifferent, but in reality, she has a lot of thoughts running through her mind. She even needs to hesitate for a while before saying thank you. She is also very easily satisfied and always flustered.

But she is also upright and kind, carefully considering the feelings of others, and wants to strive for happiness through her own efforts.

Lu Yu wanted to make her a little happier.

The elevator went up to the sixth floor, and the two went down to the first floor. It was quiet and dark outside, with only the sounds of insects chirping and dogs barking.

"Oh right, I haven't eaten the mooncakes yet."

Holding the slightly cold mooncakes in his hand, Lu Yu spoke as if he had just remembered something.

It's 11:30, half an hour before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The effect of the [Lucky Charm] will last for another thirty minutes.

"How about we find a place to eat together?"

"OK."

Cheng Bailu answered without hesitation.

[With half an hour until Mid-Autumn Festival, let me indulge myself a little before heading home.]

She took Lu Yu's hand and snuggled closer to him.

The streets were deserted at night, and most of the shops along the road had already closed. The sound of a television could be heard from behind the roller shutters, and occasionally a dog barked in the distance from the deep alley.

Under the lights of the 24-hour convenience store, the girl walking next to me had even the tips of her hair glowing with a beautiful neon color.

"Eat here, I know the auntie here, she's very easy to talk to."

Cheng Bailu placed her schoolbag on a chair outside the convenience store.

"Then I'll trouble you to heat it up in the microwave, and I'll also buy you some drinks while I'm at it. It's not right to just sit here. What would you like to drink?"

Lu Yu placed his backpack on the opposite side, ready to enter the store.

"Just buy what you need to drink yourself."

Cheng Bailu shook her head, wiped the two adjacent chairs with a tissue, and sat obediently to wait.

After a while, Lu Yu came out carrying a heated meat mooncake and a box of yogurt. Cheng Bailu hurriedly locked her phone and put it down.

Phew, he probably didn't notice.

Hmm? I didn't notice anything?

Lu Yu suspiciously placed the yogurt with the straw inserted in front of Cheng Bailu, then opened the box, picked up a fresh meat mooncake, broke it in half, wrapped it in a tissue given to him by the convenience store aunt, and handed it to the girl.

She held the hot, fresh meat mooncake, blew on it, and then took a small bite.

"It tastes even better than the sample."

[Maybe it's because I ate with him.]

"really."

Lu Yu also took a bite. The pieces he had sampled were actually cold and the flavor was not quite right. Now, while they were still hot, the taste was just right.

After taking two bites of the mooncake, he pushed the yogurt away.

"Have some beverage, or you might choke."

Cheng Bailu responded, picked up the yogurt with her other hand, and took a small sip.

Then, as soon as she put it down, Lu Yu picked up the yogurt carton and took a sip using the same straw.

【Huh? No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I didn't mean to buy just one box for two people to drink together!】

That's not up to you, Xiao Cheng.

Lu Yu put down the yogurt and continued eating the mooncake.

Cheng Bailu puffed out her cheeks slightly and stared at the straw as she ate the mooncake in small bites.

Then, as if it were very natural, I picked up the yogurt and sipped the straw.

[Hmm, he didn't notice, hehe.]

I noticed, hehe.

Lu Yu found it quite amusing to tease the top student in the grade.

Trying to tease Zhou Qianyun like this, all she does is breathe out.

"Oh, right, Yu, thank you so much for today. You knew I was feeling down because of my uncle, so you took me out to cheer me up."

The moon was bright and the stars were few. Cheng Bailu looked at the sleeping residential construction site in the distance.

I'm already very satisfied with today. Even if it was just a fake couple's answer, I'm still happy.

The easily satisfied girl smiled.

"While I did consider taking you out to relax, the main reason is that I want to go out and have fun with you."

Lu Yu picked up the yogurt she had drunk from and gently bit the straw.

"The most important thing about going out is going out. The reason doesn't matter, you don't even need a reason. What you do doesn't matter, you don't even need to do anything. Even like now, sitting and enjoying the breeze, looking at the stars and the moon, is quite nice. After all, the most important thing is who you're with."

Why is there no heartfelt expression?

There are still two minutes until midnight?

Looking over, Cheng Bailu blushed.

Her arms were tinged with a faint pink, and the glimmer of the convenience store light clung to her eyelashes, making her look like a shy water lily.

"Well, the most important thing is who you're with."

She repeated her murmured words, bit her lower lip lightly, and then spoke.

"Actually, back then, in the movie theater, when you said that line..."

"What's wrong?"

"6

"Yes, I wanted to say that I'm really happy, thank you, Yu."

After a long silence, the girl shook her head almost imperceptibly and said softly.

[Spending time with the lucky charm relieved your anxiety and unease; heartfelt conversations improved your symptoms; and the temporary frenzy ended.]

The madman's knowledge has profoundly altered the folds of your cerebral cortex, enhancing your vision and allowing you to see more things you've never noticed before.

The indifferent and cold words, along with her final thoughts, brought the night to a close.

Actually, I wanted to respond by saying, "I like you too."

That's enough. I'm not greedy. I'm already very happy tonight.

More than the happiness I could gain from saying those words, what I truly desire is...

【A future together.】
