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

Chapter 78 Then Come Here

Lu Yu turned his head and glanced at the wall, in the direction of Zhou Qianyun's bedroom.

Why aren't you asleep so late, chatting through the wall?

I remembered my computer class in elementary school. Back then, the two of us had just registered for QQ, added each other as friends, and sat on the computers next to each other during class chatting on QQ, typing and sending emoticons. After we finished, we would look at each other and smile.

It's childish, but also interesting.

So, their QQ accounts were linked to a couple's space, but they haven't checked it in a long time and don't know if it's still there.

[Lu Yu]: You slept for so long this afternoon, there's no way you could have fallen asleep.

As the saying goes, if you don't keep your cat up during the day, your cat will keep you up at night.

[Shallow]: It's all your fault.

Blame me?

[Lu Yu]: What can I do then? May you sleep peacefully without worry?

Lu Yu thought to himself that this woman was really just making excuses.

silence.

[Lu Yu]: How about we have a couple of bites?

【shallow】:???

[Lu Yu]: What I mean is, there's still some juice left over from today in the fridge. Let's find a long video or movie to watch, and have a couple of sips of juice while we're at it.

Silence again.

[Lu Yu]: I'm asleep.

back in seconds.

[Qian]: Then come here.

have to.

You want me to be the juice thief, huh?

Lu Yu scratched his head, put on his slippers, and got out of bed.

The living room was completely dark, and there was no sound from the master bedroom, presumably the couple were already asleep. It was even quieter at Grandpa Zhou's place.

Following the floor lamp to the refrigerator, Lu Yu took out the remaining half-bottle of juice and walked to the door of Zhou Qianyun's bedroom.

[Lu Yu]: Open the door.

The door opened slightly, and Zhou Qianyun, wearing pajamas, looked around with bright eyes before stepping back to let Lu Yu in.

Why are you acting like a thief even in your own home?

The room was dimly lit by only one table lamp, and the girl's bun seemed to glow with a hazy rainbow light.

"Do you want to watch a documentary or a movie? How about we watch a food video instead?"

Zhou Qianyun had already opened her laptop, a new Apple model, which was great in every way except that she couldn't play games.

But you can play Genshin Impact on cloud servers, hehe.

"You're so proactive."

Lu Yu put down the juice and realized he had forgotten to bring an extra cup.

Forget it, I'll drink Zhou Qianyun's.

"You sit on the chair, I'll sit on the bed."

Zhou Qianyun pulled up a chair and sat down, then suddenly realized that Lu Yu had already moved the chair back that afternoon.

"I slept too much this afternoon, and I'll get sleepy after watching for a while. Remember to put the juice back later."

"Am I the kind of person who comes when called and leaves when dismissed?"

Lu Yu scoffed and prepared to pour juice into Zhou Qianyun's light blue water glass. He noticed there was already a mouthful of water in it, thought for a moment, and then gulped it down.

Fill it with juice.

Let's drink a big cup of wine.

"So what do you want? Aren't you going back anyway?"

Zhou Qianyun found a movie, adjusted the webpage, and put the laptop back on the table.

"What movie is it? I hope it's not one where you eat halfway through."

Lu Yu said casually, glancing at the title.

Looking back suddenly.

An animated film, less than an hour long.

When did this woman start liking cartoons?

Lu Yu had really wanted to watch this movie before, but he hadn't found a suitable opportunity until today.

"If you really want to go to bed early, you might as well watch Professor Song teach advanced mathematics. Even if you don't understand it, you'll get to sleep."

"Mind your own business."

Zhou Qianyun pressed the space bar to play the movie.

Once it really started, Lu Yu actually calmed down.

He takes movies very seriously, and what he dislikes most are those guys who buy movie tickets but are late. He feels that they don't really want to watch a movie; they just want to find a dark place to eat.

Zhou Qianyun sat cross-legged on the bed and hugged the pink fox that Lu Yu had given her before.

The animation's colors were already vibrant, and the computer screen shimmered with light, reflecting Lu Yu's handsome profile as he focused and serious.

Really handsome.

While watching the movie, Zhou Qianyun's gaze was unconsciously drawn to something else.

Looking down, in the light of the table lamp, I caught a glimpse of the hem of Lu Yu's pajamas. Because of his crossed legs, a bit of his waist was exposed, which did look quite capable.

Lu Yu picked up the juice and took a couple of sips.

My sleeve was tugged, so I turned my head.

"I want to drink."

Zhou Qianyun said, trying to cover up her words, and reached out to take the cup.

Her pale cherry-colored lips touched the spot where Lu Yu had drunk, and she took a small sip.

Sweet apple juice.

Lu Yu returned the cup, took another sip casually, put it down, and straightened his back.

"What's wrong? You're so young and your back is already giving out?"

Zhou Qianyun teased.

"Your back hurts from sitting in that chair, you can't sit like that."

"That's because your posture is wrong. You need to sit up straight."

"Am I crazy to sit so upright while watching a movie?"

"Then...would you like to sit here?"

Zhou Qianyun shifted her position and patted the bed next to her.

"You said it."

Lu Yu decisively got up and sat on the bed next to Zhou Qianyun.

Because of their weight pressing down on the mattress, the two people moved slightly closer together.

The movie continues.

The story is actually very simple: the friendship and dreams between two girls.

The protagonist, who loves drawing four-panel comics, encounters a shut-in with exceptional drawing skills. Initially, she tries to compete with him, but unexpectedly discovers that he is her biggest fan.

We met, got to know each other, and created comics together.

The story is simple, but the emotions are complex.

Slice-of-life works are the most revealing of skill, because they lack the fancy and bizarre settings and visuals to attract viewers. It takes real skill to depict the everyday life that everyone experiences in an interesting and vivid way.

"I can't see it very clearly."

The bed is a bit far from the desk, making the 13-inch screen seem too small in comparison.

"It's all because your house is so big; the bathroom is bigger than my bedroom."

Lu Yu muttered something, got up, picked up the notebook, placed it on his lap, and casually put the juice next to the lamp on the bedside table.

"Let's just watch it from the bed."

He kicked off his slippers, moved his body, and sat cross-legged against Zhou Qianyun's bedside.

"Wait, hey, don't sit on my pillow!"

The girl immediately took away the pillow that Lu Yu wanted to use as a backrest.

"Okay."

Lu Yu then grabbed an IKEA shark-shaped cushion and placed it behind him.

Looking at the boy sitting so casually on her bed, Zhou Qianyun pursed her lips, placed the pillow on the headboard, and leaned against it.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of the movie playing.

Because the laptop was on Lu Yu's lap, Zhou Qianyun had to tilt her head to look at it. After a while, she got a little tired, and her body slipped, accidentally leaning against Lu Yu's arm.

A little flustered, Zhou Qianyun tensed up, trying to sit up straight. She looked up and saw that Lu Yu was focused on the screen and didn't seem to notice her movements.

She licked her lower lip, slowly relaxed her body, and leaned against him.

The boy's frame was clearly defined, and even through his pajamas, one could feel the strong, slightly warm muscles in his upper arms, giving the girl a subtle sense of security.

With the weight on his shoulders, Lu Yu adjusted his posture and the position of his laptop so that Zhou Qianyun could lean against him more comfortably.

The two people sat cross-legged, their knees touching, their feet occasionally brushing against each other.

Zhou Qianyun's bare feet were soft and cool.

"It's a bit cold."

Lu Yu said something.

He then straightened his legs and shifted to a more comfortable slouching position.

Zhou Qianyun remained silent, but quietly stretched out her legs and leaned against his shoulder, as if this moment could last forever if she continued to remain silent.

Their feet seemed to touch, their skin rubbed together, and they felt a little warmer.

The milky scent of the girl's hair tickled Lu Yu's neck. He raised his hand to touch it, but when he lowered it, it landed on Zhou Qianyun's thigh instead of the intended spot.

He could feel Zhou Qianyun in his arms tense up instantly.

"Sorry, it's just a habit."

"???"

A question mark appeared above the girl's head, her face instantly turning bright red. Then, she mumbled hesitantly.

"Does this happen when you're traveling with Cheng Bailu?"

No, in the last blind pick game of BO05, there were two Kai'Sas?

They're all searching for enemies in this void.

"What I mean is, we used to put it in that spot when we watched movies together, it's all your fault for squeezing in this time."

.

Lu Yu offered an explanation and withdrew his hand.

Just to clarify, even when he was sitting in a couple's seat at the movie theater, his hand never touched Cheng Bailu's thigh.

"oh."

Zhou Qianyun responded, but Lu Yu couldn't see the expression on her face from this angle.

"It is indeed a bit cold."

She murmured softly, pulled a blanket from the side, and covered Lu Yu and her legs.

Then, under the covers, in a place where neither of them could see.

She gently took Lu Yu's hand and placed it on her thigh.

"I'm used to it..."

"...Then there's nothing we can do."

The whispered words, meant to conceal something, are more moving than any movie dialogue.
