The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 21

The plush toys were too big for Shen Yuan and Li Zhi to take to school, so they had to go home first.

“Here, this is for you.”

When they reached the apartment building, Li Zhi handed one of the cat plush toys to Shen Yuan.

“Consider it your payment.”

Shen Yuan took the cat plush toy, looked it over, and said, “No, I want yours!”

“Isn’t it the same?”

Li Zhi genuinely couldn’t see the difference.

“It’s different,” Shen Yuan said seriously, “I won this one; it’s the symbol of the King of Claw Machines in Jiyang!”

“So?”

“Here you go, it’s a symbol of divine intervention, comparable to an old monk’s blessing.”

Shen Yuan’s words sounded quite warm.

But Li Zhi’s gaze narrowed slightly; she had already sensed something was amiss.

Sure enough, Shen Yuan’s next sentence revealed his true thoughts.

“You’re so bad at it, you need the blessing of the King of Claw Machines in Jiyang!”

If she weren’t holding that big plush toy, Li Zhi would definitely have unleashed a barrage of cute girl energy blasts at him.

Although she couldn’t move her hands, Li Zhi was absolutely merciless with her words.

“I’m only lacking in games, while you’re lacking in grades. You ramble on and on, but you can’t even reach 620. Tong Churou works much harder than you. Do you know who that boy next to her is?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, just know that his dad is a top-level physics teacher. Don’t end up not even getting as good a score as her in the monthly exam, oh right!”

Li Zhi revealed a wicked woman’s smile: “Someone was never going to be able to do well anyway.”

Shen Yuan broke down.

Desensitization? Impossible.

Li Zhi successfully made Shen Yuan sensitive to his embarrassing past again.

“Who said I can’t do well? I, Shen Yuan, will definitely get 620 points in this monthly exam! And I will definitely surpass Tong Churou!”

Looking at Shen Yuan’s exasperated appearance, the corners of Li Zhi’s mouth curled up slightly.

The wicked woman, Qingmei, said confidently: “I don’t believe it.”

Shen Yuan was anxious.

“Just you wait! I, Shen Yuan, will definitely show that Tong guy what real progress looks like!”

“Then I’ll look forward to it.”

Looking at Li Zhi’s expression, Shen Yuan suddenly realized what was going on.

He seemed to have been tricked by Li Zhi.

But it didn’t seem like there was anything wrong with it.

Shen Yuan took the opportunity to make his request: “You promised me one request before. Now, if I reach 620 and surpass that Tong guy, shouldn’t you promise me two?”

“But what if you only manage to do one?”

“Then I’ll consider it a loss! I’ll listen to you.”

Seeing that Shen Yuan didn’t hesitate at all, Li Zhi didn’t say anything and just nodded.

“Then it’s as you say.”

The stakes were raised.

Back home, Ms. Zhang immediately caught Shen Yuan.

“Where have you been? Why are you so late?”

Shen Yuan waved the cat plushie in his hand: “I went to play claw machines with Li Zhi. I won a bunch and exchanged them for a big one for her.”

As Shen Yuan spoke, he swung his arms around to show the size of the big plushie.

Zhang Yuyan rolled her eyes: “Then you’re really good.”

“Fine, don’t believe me then.”

Shen Yuan muttered and went back to his room.

Inside the room, Li Zhi held the ugly-cute chick, one of only two things she had won in this claw machine adventure.

She was bad at it but loved playing.

The other plush toy was the cat Shen Yuan had won, and the two ended up swapping them.

“Where should we put them?”

The two plush toys were eventually placed on the table in the corner of the room.

After doing that, Li Zhi placed the big bear plush toy by the bed. Looking at the toy’s smiling face, she couldn’t help but think of Shen Yuan.

“What an idiot.”

The pretty girl hit the big bear plush toy in the face with a stun gun, knocking it to the ground.

“Hmph!”

In different parts of the room, you could see Li Zhi’s prizes from playing claw machines.

Most of these plush toys were won by Shen Yuan.

The last time Shen Yuan helped Li Zhi win a plush toy was at the beginning of their first year of high school.

The holiday passed quickly.

After dinner at home, Li Zhi went to school

without waiting for Shen Yuan .

When Shen Yuan left, he noticed Li Zhi’s shoes were missing.

“Perfect timing to grind some tasks. When I’m full of energy, I’ll see how I rip you off!”

Shen Yuan had already completed more than half of his tasks.

When Shen Yuan arrived at the classroom, the progress had increased by another 800 meters.

He finally understood the phased completion system.

In the classroom, Shen Yuan saw Li Zhi reading a book at his seat.

It’s not that others are smarter than you, it’s that you’re afraid of those smarter than you working even harder!

“You didn’t wait for me!”

Shen Yuan demanded as soon as he sat down.

Li Zhi smiled gently: “I thought you were studying, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Ouch, that hurt.

Shen Yuan wasn’t studying at all; he was playing games.

But Shen Yuan certainly wouldn’t tell that.

“Yeah, the monthly exam is only three weeks away, we definitely need to seize the time to study! After all, this is the first monthly exam of senior year, we should take it seriously.”

Li Zhi nodded in agreement: “Three weeks is plenty of time, if you put your mind to it, 620 is no problem at all.” She

spoke in a completely wicked woman’s tone.

Shen Yuan pursed his lips, not wanting to say anything.

He could already imagine how Li Zhi would humiliate him if he didn’t get 620 on the monthly exam.

Study, study, study.

Before evening self-study, Zhou Shaojie and Yang Ze returned to school together.

As soon as they entered the classroom, Zhou Shaojie saw Shen Yuan slumped over his desk.

“Damn! Damn! Damn!”

“Poet? Poet, my foot!”

A-Jie rushed to the seat, looking at Shen Yuan with disbelief: “So stubborn?!”

Shen Yuan glanced at A-Jie, grabbed him: “Perfect timing, how do you solve this problem?”

“No, no, no, I’d rather die than help a stubborn dog!”

“Screw dog, may you die!”

A-Jie tried to struggle, but was quickly subdued by Shen Yuan, obediently explaining a math problem to Shen Yuan.

Seeing A-Jie’s obedient appearance under Shen Yuan’s strong-willed restraint, Yang Ze immediately mocked: “This A-Jie is just a loser.”

Zhou Shaojie raised his head and sneered: “Can you get 620?”

Yang Ze’s smile froze, he couldn’t smile anymore.

Seeing Yang Ze’s frozen smile, Zhou Shaojie suddenly realized that Li Zhi’s method was really useful.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shaojie turned to look at Shen Yuan.

“Yuan, are you working so hard to get a 620?”

Shen Yuan was deep in thought about math when Zhou Shaojie suddenly blurted out this sarcastic remark, immediately throwing him off balance.

“Huh?”

“You need to work this hard to get a 620?”

Shen Yuan immediately broke down.

“You son of a bitch!”

Seeing Shen Yuan’s discomfiture, Zhou Shaojie felt like he’d finally understood.

The elite class is all about mocking each other with scores!

I scored higher than you, I’m better than you!
What right do you have to talk to me if you can’t even get a 620?
Damn, just thinking about it is so satisfying!
The next moment.

“I was right! How dare you 600-point ‘humans’ compare to me, the Emperor?!”

Zhou Shaojie was dragged to the back door of the classroom by three or five burly men and given a good beating.
