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

Chapter 83 I Want to Be With You Forever

The fried rice with egg tasted pretty good.

While it's not quite at the level of a master chef where each grain of rice is separated and coated with egg, resulting in a five-grain rice dish with a single egg drop, it's still three levels better than the fried rice you get on the street.

Hey, fried rice with eggs, the simplest yet the most difficult.

After just one bite, Zhou Qianyun decided she would never eat fried rice from outside again.

Pair it with ready-made meals from the supermarket—it's simple, delicious, and saves you from washing so many dishes.

While eating, Zhou Qianyun was still paying attention to the burns on Lu Yu's hands.

Actually, it's not a big problem. I rinsed it with plenty of water immediately. Young people have a fast metabolism, and in a couple of days, there won't even be a scar.

Thump thump thump—

A knock came at the door.

"The takeout I ordered."

Zhou Qianyun hurriedly got up, her sandals clattering as she rushed towards the door.

"Can't I feed you? Ordering takeout in front of the cook is incredibly humiliating, you know that?"

Lu Yu's gaze followed her figure, and he turned his head in confusion.

Outside the door, instead of delivery riders in red, yellow, and orange uniforms, stood the property manager of the residential complex.

Returning with the takeout bag, Zhou Qianyun opened it, took out the contents, and placed them on the table.

Several different brands of burn ointment.

Lu Yu picked up one of them and glanced at the takeout order.

The pharmacy was very close, and the order was delivered via one-on-one express delivery. Judging from the order time, it arrived in less than ten minutes.

"I just searched online and found that some burn ointments might cause allergies, so I bought everything the pharmacy had. You can try them out later."

He sat back down opposite Lu Yu, picked up his spoon again, and prepared to eat his fried rice.

"Actually, you're almost fully recovered and there's nothing seriously wrong."

Nodding his thanks, Lu Yu then showed the back of his hand.

"Thanks to Ms. Zhou Qianyun's saliva."

"Then I'll give you some more, so you won't even need to apply the ointment?"

"OK."

Lu Yu decisively reached out.

Zhou Qianyun put down her spoon.

I actually saw it while searching.

Applying saliva to a burn wound is completely useless.

She felt that Lu Yu definitely knew.

She also felt that Lu Yu must already know that she had bought burn ointment.

But Zhou Qianyun didn't care.

She wiped her mouth with a tissue, took Lu Yu's hand in her hands, and gently kissed the reddened mark.

The smooth, jade-like texture made Lu Yu feel, for a fleeting moment, as if he had touched eternity.

He thought back to his childhood.

He, fearless and reckless, provoked a bee, only to have the bee pay the ultimate price by stinging his finger.

Although Lu Yu didn't cry, his hands were indeed swollen like sausages.

At that time, Xiao Zhou Qianyun did the same, gently holding Lu Yu's finger in her mouth, using a clumsy and simple method to help him relieve the pain of his wound.

He put it down and wiped his lips with the back of his hand.

"Let's apply burn ointment."

Zhou Qianyun's cheeks were flushed red. She hurriedly got up and turned her face away.

Lu Yu withdrew his hand.

The burned area is somewhat translucent.

He didn't wash it away until he was washing the dishes.

After the meal.

Zhou Qianyun kicked off her sandals and sat idly on the sofa looking at her phone, her two white feet bobbing up and down, reminding one of the tender egg drop soup in the fried rice earlier.

"You don't even sit properly."

Lu Yu dried his hands and sat down at the other end of the sofa.

"This is my home, I can sit however I want."

Zhou Qianyun muttered to herself, but she sat up straight.

"Apply the medicine first. I saw that if you don't treat it in time, it will leave a scar."

"Okay, okay, just like my mom, you're so nagging."

Lu Yu carefully examined the applicable symptoms of the various ointments and applied the more commonly used one.

After finishing his business, he went to Zhou Qianyun's 100-inch color TV and fiddled with the PS5 that was sitting next to him and was getting a little dusty.

"Has your game console never even been turned on? Does it even have any games?"

After some fiddling, Lu Yu finally managed to connect the machine, turn on the TV, and access the interface.

"Too lazy to play."

Zhou Qianyun sat cross-legged and looked at the TV. Her plaid skirt was wrinkled, revealing a bit of her fair thigh above her knees.

"They actually bought digital games, that's really extravagant."

Lu Yu controlled the controller and saw that, apart from the free controller tutorial game, there were only two other games available on the PS5.

Mischievous kitchen and couples together.

Xu Xu took the controller from Lu Yu and remembered how it ended up in her house where no one played games.

During the Chinese New Year period, I chatted with Lu Yu about a couple of junior high school classmates who had dated before. They said that the two of them broke up in the first year of high school because they were playing pranks in the kitchen.

Then Lu Yu teased her, saying that if the two of them were to play these games, they would have to have an offline showdown in the imperial city.

Zhou Qianyun was not satisfied. When her family asked what she wanted for the New Year, she asked for a game console and also bought two games that were supposedly suitable for couples to play together.

Of course, when Lu Yu came over for the New Year, all the adults were there, so the two of them didn't have a chance to play games, and the games have been gathering dust ever since.

"You really want to play this?"

Lu Yu moved the cursor to the "Nonsense Kitchen" page, feeling a pang of sympathy.

Fearing Zhou Qianyun's redness, he threw the handle away and smashed the TV.

"Let's play another easy one first."

Zhou Qianyun had also heard of the nickname "Breakup Kitchen" and felt it was unlucky.

Two people go together, and the game begins.

"Why does it have to start with a divorce?"

Zhou Qianyun frowned.

"It seems like a story of a broken mirror being mended."

Lu Yu only mentioned a little bit of the plot; it was the game of the year at the time, and I had heard a little about it.

"Hmm, that's more like it."

The girl twitched her toes and sat up straight.

Lu Yu is a veteran player, while Zhou Qianyun is basically a newbie. She only knows how to swipe on glass and holds the controller like a cat that has just possessed a human, clumsy and awkward.

"Why can't I jump over it?"

"It's okay, I'll wait for you here, take your time."

"Hey, is there something wrong with it? Why couldn't I get through like that?"

"It should be from this side; when you press jump, press it a little longer."

"Hey, my hammer looks like it can hit you! I'll hit you, I'll hit you, I'll hit you!"

"Damn it, if you have no sportsmanship, then I'll just have to nail you down!"

The two were basically in a cycle where Zhou Qianyun jumped, Zhou Qianyun died, Lu Yu waited, Zhou Qianyun kept jumping, kept dying, and Lu Yu was just creating atmosphere on the sidelines.

"I'm not playing anymore. This game is targeting us; they just don't want us to finish it."

After her tenth defeat at the boss's location, Zhou Qianyun broke down and dropped the controller.

"Indeed, this game is terrible."

Lu Yu also put down the controller.

Zhou Qianyun, fuming, picked up her phone and started scrolling through videos.

The shady big data algorithm directly pushed videos related to couples traveling together to her homepage.

Click to open.

A boyfriend and girlfriend went out for a two-person activity, but the boyfriend got angry and the girlfriend lost her temper, leading to a big fight and a breakup.

A boyfriend complained that his girlfriend was bad at video games, so he went out to play duo games with other girls and got caught.

How to make your emotionally stable boyfriend break down: A couple's guide.

Maybe the phone was listening to their conversation. These are videos of couples playing games where the girl is too bad at it, making it impossible to continue, and then the boy gets angry or gives up, leading to an argument. Of course, there are also videos where the girl is a gaming pro and the boy is a noob.

He stole a glance at Lu Yu.

So, when we were playing together just now, he didn't seem to get angry at all?

Not only did he not get angry, but he also understood everything I said and was considerate of my feelings.

Compared to those couples who go berserk in those videos, Lu Yu is practically a saint.

"...Shall we try again?"

Picking up the handle from the sofa, Zhou Qianyun sat up straight, put her legs down, and slipped on her sandals.

"Okay, I think it's just a matter of practice. Let's do it again, easily."

Lu Yu also picked up the controller.

Although they didn't pass on their first try, they finally succeeded after two attempts.

"Yay!!!"

The moment she passed the test, Zhou Qianyun, who was so nervous that her toes were clenched, jumped up excitedly, dropped the controller, and spun around twice on the spot.

Lu Yu, sitting at the other end of the sofa, simply smiled faintly.

"See, I told you we could do it."

"Um.

Zhou Qianyun calmed herself down, sat back down, picked up the controller, and looked at Lu Yu again.

"I was just watching some videos, and it seems like this game is prone to arguments. How come you seemed so calm? You didn't complain about me at all?"

Out of sheer curiosity, she couldn't help but ask.

"Is it because you've hung out with someone before?"

"Where does this unfounded suspicion come from?"

Lu Yu chuckled, leaned forward, and used both hands to control the controller, making the character spin around on the screen.

"The most important thing about a spring outing is never where you go, but who you go with. Similarly, the most important thing about playing games is not passing levels or winning against someone, but who you play with."

His role was placed before Zhou Qianyun's.

"I'm happy being with you, so I want to stay with you forever. Why put pressure on you and ruin the fun that was supposed to be enjoyable?"

...You probably mean you enjoy playing games with me and want to play games with me again.

Zhou Qianyun's heart skipped a beat before she realized that Lu Yu had skipped a word in his speech.

This guy just likes to say things that are easy to misunderstand for no reason.

"Hmm, what do you think? Aren't you happy being with me?"

Lu Yu stared at the television and asked casually.

In the game, the two players control a married couple who constantly bicker and argue, but eventually reconcile and embrace each other again.

...Playing games together was pretty fun.

Zhou Qianyun swayed slightly and looked at the television.

As long as I'm with you, I'm happy no matter what we do.

There is nothing happier in this world than being with you.
