The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 35

For dinner, Shen Yuan chose the cafeteria.

Having just been dealt a blow, he had no desire to go out for food.

The cafeteria was fine.

Shen Yuan accurately found the cafeteria where Li Zhi was.

Li Zhi sometimes behaved like an NPC; if he wasn’t out looking for food, he was basically always in the same cafeteria location.

And it was Friday.

The first and second year high school students were already on vacation, and the school only had cafeteria number one open. If he looked carefully, he could always find it.

“I heard you failed your math exam.”

As soon as Shen Yuan sat down, Li Zhi handed him a knife.

“I can’t eat this.” Shen Yuan was distressed.

Li Zhi smiled slightly: “Then can I have your chicken leg?”

“No, I’d rather feed it to the dog!”

Shen Yuan said, picking up a chicken leg and taking a bite.

“Then it really is feeding it to the dog.”

After saying that, Li Zhi realized he’d fallen for it.

Sure enough, Shen Yuan quickly looked up and said in a cheeky tone, “Did you just say ‘dog’?”

The pretty girl clenched her fist.

Her fist hardened.

She really wanted to punch this guy to death!

“You’re buying me supper tonight.”

“I’ll buy you, I’ll buy you!”

Hehe, dinner’s coming up again, family.

Shen Yuan was happy again.

He Zhiyu, standing to the side, looked up from her rice bowl. Although she didn’t know what these two were talking about, she had a strange feeling. Were

these two really not dating?

He Zhiyu had indeed heard rumors about Li Zhi and Shen Yuan recently.

After all, the two always walked together after evening self-study.

And Shen Yuan would even carry Li Zhi’s backpack.

Some people even saw Shen Yuan and Li Zhi chatting and laughing on the street.

Plus, Shen Yuan had been bringing Li Zhi milk tea lately, which was really too suspicious.

If these two said they were just childhood sweethearts, that would be even more suspicious.

What does childhood sweetheart mean?
Huh?
你就说说青梅竹马什么意思吧。

说夸张点，小时候玩过家家，你俩都得是演夫妻那种！

而且，你们两个的传闻就是从青梅竹马开始的啊！
还是废柴竹马努力考上重点班接近学霸青梅的那种励志故事。

看得人想早恋。

这要让沈元知道了，多半得去找嗑佩佩唠唠。

这嗑学协会真是，乱嗑！

何之玉看着闺蜜，又看了眼正在和闺蜜激情对线的沈元。

怎么说呢？

这大概就是打是亲骂是爱吧？

少女眨了眨眼睛，对眼前的事情进行了简单的处理。

这两人现在不一定是在谈恋爱，但以后多半会谈恋爱。

这时，正在和黎知对线的沈元忽然注意到了一种熟悉的视线。

很快，他便将视线定位到了一旁的何之玉身上。

太熟悉了，这眼神特么总觉得在哪里见到过。

Seeing Shen Yuan’s gaze fall on He Zhiyu, Li Zhi looked over as well.

True to his academic prowess, Li Zhi immediately noticed the odd look in He Zhiyu’s eyes.

“We were arguing,”

He Zhiyu nodded, indicating she understood.

Seeing this, Li Zhi painfully closed her eyes.

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi and subconsciously asked, “From the ‘Obsession Society’?”

Li Zhi silently nodded.

Shen Yuan fell silent.

Actually, if Shen Yuan knew what He Zhiyu was thinking, he would definitely have said, “That’s prophetic.”

After all, within the system, he’s probably dating Li Zhi right now.

And because of Li Zhi’s dazzling brilliance, his pride has been wounded, and he’s even started studying harder.

Damn it!

How come after all these years, she’s still dragging me down?
Society is essentially a giant spiral of involution, isn’t it?

If she doesn’t drag you down today, she definitely will in the future.

Seeing his former high school classmates driving BMWs, living in luxury apartments, married with children, living happily ever after, and then looking at himself…

Shift!

Nothing.

35 years old and still single.

But thinking about it, it’s actually another kind of life.

If you run fast, you’ll have a family at 22, surrounded by admiration.

If you run slowly, you’ll still be pursuing your dreams at 30.

What’s wrong with that?
Besides, Shen Yuan has a daughter now, okay? Who says a kitten can’t be one?
But at 35, after 17 years, will his mistress still be around?

Shen Yuan doesn’t know, and he won’t think about it.

It would only add to his sadness.

After lunch, Li Zhi quickly slipped back to the classroom, while Shen Yuan wandered off alone to the convenience store and bought a large bottle of AD calcium milk.

He had intended to buy one for Li Zhi, but Shen Yuan reconsidered.

If the “fangirls” saw them, they’d be in deep trouble.

What, childhood sweethearts bringing AD calcium milk to reminisce about playing house as husband and wife?
No need to reminisce, it’s fine now.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll write it now and post it on the school’s confession wall tonight!

Back in the classroom, the sweet and sour smell immediately triggered Chen Mingyu’s olfactory system in the front row.

“Shen Yuan, what did you buy?”

“Childhood.”

Just like iced tea, AD calcium milk loyalists were plentiful.

The reason was probably as Shen Yuan described:

paying for the childhood version of himself who longed for AD calcium milk but couldn’t have it.

Damn it, paying for childhood—it’s all a consumerist trap.

Am I the only one who thinks AD calcium milk tastes so-so?

Shen Yuan unscrewed the cap and took a sip.

“Tsk, delicious.”

Even so, Shen Yuan still felt that only the kind with a straw could truly evoke authentic childhood memories.

A-Jie sneakily approached: “Want a bite?”

“No.”

After Shen Yuan refused, A-Jie suddenly fell ill.

“Brother, give me a bite, I can’t take it anymore, please, brother. I feel ants crawling all over me, I feel my whole body shaking, I can’t breathe, please, brother, just one more bite, just one bite, I promise I’ll never touch it again, please, brother, really, just one, I swear I’ll never touch this stuff again.”

Damn.

These stupid high school boys would do anything for food.

Shen Yuan quickly opened the bottle and handed the AD calcium milk to A-Jie.

But just as A-Jie was about to reach for it, Shen Yuan pulled back.

“Call me ‘Dad.'”

“Hey, you…”

A-Jie finally spoke.

The title “godfather” had almost lost its former value, just like “baby.”

Especially the term “baby,” it’s become so overused that even boys can call each other that.

But with Shen Yuan and Li Zhi, if Shen Yuan dared to call Li Zhi “baby,”

he’d likely be met with a barrage of electric cannon fire from a beautiful girl.

It’s not that Li Zhi thinks the word is inappropriate; girls often call each other “baby” too.

It’s just that Shen Yuan calling her that makes Li Zhi feel disgusted.

Because this guy always likes to add a whiny, bubbly tone when he calls her “baby.”

It gives him goosebumps.

However, thanks to the fact that they’ve been sitting far apart lately, and the Gossip Association is keeping a close eye on them, Shen Yuan has become much more well-behaved.
