The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 23

After the commotion that night, Li Zhi naturally didn’t wait for Shen Yuan to go to school together the next day.

Shen Yuan had no objections at all, treating it as a task to complete.

He only needed 2 kilometers to finish the task.

He would try to finish it today!

When he arrived at the classroom, Shen Yuan subconsciously looked towards the seat where Li Zhi had been sitting.

When he saw that no one was there, Shen Yuan realized.

The seats had been changed yesterday.

Walking over to Li Zhi’s current seat, Shen Yuan took out a bag of soy milk from his pocket: “Here, I brought this for you.”

Li Zhi glanced at the soy milk: “Having a change of heart?”

“The leftovers.”

I knew it…

“You had to argue with me.” Li Zhi took the soy milk and then noticed that the cap was already open.

Li Zhi knew all too well that Shen Yuan’s thought process was unusual.

What he said earlier was probably just an attempt to argue with him.

But, if the cap of the soy milk bag hadn’t been open, it would have been a joke.

But now the cap was open.

Before Li Zhi drank it, the bag of soy milk was simultaneously in a quantum superposition state of “having been drunk by Shen Yuan” and “not having been drunk by Shen Yuan.” Only after Li Zhi took the first sip could she get the answer from Shen Yuan.

What a Schrödinger’s cat drink!

Seeing Li Zhi’s hesitant look, Shen Yuan smiled slightly: “Unscrewing the cap before handing a drink to a lady is the behavior of a modern gentleman.”

“You look down on me.”

Li Zhi pinched the soy milk bag with three fingers and said seriously, “You’re showing off your male strength and subtly mocking the stereotype that ‘vulnerable women need protection.'”

“Eh, are you boxing?”

“You’re getting impatient.”

Shen Yuan took a deep breath, snatched the cap and soy milk from Li Zhi’s hand, twisted it tightly, and then held the soy milk with both hands, handing it back to Li Zhi.

True gentlemanly spirit is not about whether you turn the cap, but whether you can perform the act of handing back the bottle with the solemnity of handing over the Nobel Peace Prize when she says “I can do it myself.”

In short, Shen Yuan withdrew his goodwill. ”

Young Master Li, use magic to defeat magic!”

Looking at the soy milk in Shen Yuan’s hand, Li Zhi fell silent.

Shen Yuan had clearly twisted the cap back with considerable force, so naturally, she couldn’t open it.

But if she couldn’t open it, wouldn’t she lose face?
For Li Zhi, losing face in front of Shen Yuan was a terrifying thing.

Both of them had a mental notebook recording each other’s embarrassing moments, and once their argument reached a stalemate, they would open that notebook for a devastating attack.

Currently, Li Zhi had a better grasp of embarrassing moments.

But would the bottle cap become the final weight on the scales?
Li Zhi didn’t dare gamble.

With the Little Red Book magic ineffective against Shen Yuan, Li Zhi needed to find another way.

Li Zhi pondered for a moment: “You know, I heard that research shows human fingers temporarily lose torque when they encounter someone they’re attracted to.”

“You can’t open it.”

Shen Yuan clearly wasn’t buying it.

“You son of a bitch!”

Before Li Zhi could break down, Shen Yuan twisted the cap open.

“Go ahead and drink it. By the way, do you need me to get you some water?”

Looking at the soy milk straw handed to him, Li Zhi hesitated.

The rim of the cup held the weight of trust in friendship, while the bottom reflected the philosophical question of hygiene.

Your gesture of raising the cup resembled the brief hesitation of civilized society before microbial colonization.

Was this cup a beverage? No, it was an experimental device for the uncertainty principle of contemporary interpersonal relationships.

Drinking it was declaring war on E. coli. Not drinking it was firing at the ship of friendship.

What kind of black hole of human social ethics was this?
It should be renamed “Indirect Kiss: Limited Edition Blind Box of Bacteria.”

Under Shen Yuan’s expectant gaze, Li Zhi pulled an alcohol wipe from his bag and carefully wiped the straw opening of the soy milk bag.

The two smiled at each other.

Just as Li Zhi was about to drink, Shen Yuan suddenly blurted out,

“Aren’t you afraid I’ll drink it and then spit it out?”

“Are you so thirsty that you’ve already French kissed the bag?”

“No, not at all, drink it without worry.”

Li Zhi eventually drank it.

She still knew Shen Yuan; although he was a bit shameless, at least he had some principles.

Some, but not many.

After drinking the soy milk, Li Zhi took out a piece of paper from the table.

“Today’s math problems are copied from previous tests. Do them carefully, and if you don’t know how, ask Lao Zhou.”

Shen Yuan took the math problems and then reached for Li Zhi’s water cup.

“OK, thanks.”

After getting water for himself and Li Zhi, Shen Yuan happily returned to his seat.

Leaning against the wall, great!

When Shen Yuan looked up again, his new deskmate had already been added.

Seeing Shen Yuan looking at her, the new deskmate immediately gave a bright smile.

“Hello~ new classmate.”

Judging from her appearance, she was undoubtedly a sweet girl.

After chatting for a bit, Shen Yuan learned his new deskmate’s name.

His new deskmate was called Zhuo Peipei, and Shen Yuan’s first impression of her was that she was a sweet girl.

A sweet girl with very bright eyes when she looked at people.

If Shen Yuan hadn’t already fallen for Lan Jie, the girl next door, and Li Zhi, he might have actually made room for Tian Mei.

Why couldn’t he be a little more open-minded?

What pure love? High school students at this age are all about looks.

It starts with appearance, gets stuck on appearance, and stays loyal to appearance.

So single-minded.

Someone as arrogant as A-Jie must be a humanoid.

Zhuo Peipei was quite curious about her new classmate.

Especially after seeing Shen Yuan get so close to Li Zhi, she became even more curious.

Zhuo Peipei and Li Zhi had been classmates for two years, so she knew Li Zhi’s personality well.

Especially his obsession with grades.

How could one describe it as just one impression?

After all, for high school students, anyone could relate to that.

However, Zhuo Peipei’s feelings towards Li Zhi weren’t too bad. After all,

under the sway of that obsession with grades, Zhuo Peipei had struggled.

Although she couldn’t break 650 points, she at least broke the 620-point mark that separated humans from apes.

She became a fully human in the theory of evolution.

So you see, everything has two sides.

Although I later learned that the two were childhood sweethearts, I was relieved that they got along so well.

But under the shadow of this identity, people became even more curious!

…

“The bell will ring when my butt touches the chair!!”

Zhou Shaojie plopped down in his seat as the school bell rang.

“Are you some kind of weird rule?” Shen Yuan had already gotten used to A-Jie’s abstract thought process.

“No, this is the school welcoming its king!”

“Morning reading is English.”

Zhou Shaojie exclaimed in surprise: “An assassin!!”

Morning reading was English, and his older cousin wouldn’t care anyway, so Shen Yuan did his math problems without restraint.

His older cousin didn’t say anything; Shen Yuan’s English grades couldn’t be improved by morning reading.

Besides, even if they could improve, it would be within 10 points at most.

But Shen Yuan’s math was different; the potential for improvement was huge.

However, compared to that, A-Jie’s English had even greater potential for improvement!

But it just wouldn’t improve.
