The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 42

Monday was a good day, the weather was sunny.

Shen Yuan only ate four and a half steamed buns today, for no other reason than that Li Zhi took half of one.

That brat kept saying she wouldn’t buy any, but then she saw Shen Yuan eating one and wanted half of it.

So stubborn.

Couldn’t she just buy one herself next time and share half with him?

If it was half given to her by a pretty girl, it might taste even better,

right?

After arriving at the classroom, Li Zhi watched Shen Yuan carry his schoolbag to the innermost seat.

The pretty girl pouted.

To be honest, Li Zhi didn’t like sitting in the middle.

Sitting on either side was fine, but sitting in the middle meant that if she accidentally bumped into her deskmate on the left, or her deskmate on the right, it was very annoying.

“Shen Yuan, I need to discuss something.”

“What is it?” Shen Yuan was getting used to his seat when he heard Li Zhi’s words and turned to look at Qingmei.

Li Zhi bit the soft flesh inside her lower lip and finally spoke.

“I want to sit inside.”

“Oh.”

Shen Yuan responded, “And then?”

Li Zhi pursed her lips, thinking to herself, what kind of stupid story is this “Stupid Student Association” writing?

How could childhood sweethearts be so close!
Oh well, she’d already said it.

Li Zhi said, “Can we change seats?”

“Apple, what are your conditions? What are your conditions? You’ve already made a deal, you should at least state your conditions, otherwise it seems insincere.”

Shen Yuan leaned against the wall, crossing his legs.

“I’ll teach you math, for as long as you want.”

Shen Yuan looked disappointed after hearing Li Zhi’s conditions.

“Tsk, is that all?”

Seeing Shen Yuan’s expression, Li Zhi took off her backpack and threw it at him.

“Catch it or not!”

“Catch, catch, catch, want to change the desk?” Shen Yuan caught the backpack steadily.

Li Zhi shook her head: “Changing desks is too much trouble, this is fine.”

Hearing this, Shen Yuan plopped down in Li Zhi’s chair. ”

…

Zhizhi, good morning.”

He Zhiyu had just sat down when she saw a different face rise from the seat that had previously belonged to Li Zhi.

“Shen Yuan?”

He Zhiyu was taken aback, then saw Li Zhi in the “usual spot.”

“You guys?”

Shen Yuan chuckled, “Young Master Li wanted to sit inside, he begged me for ages before I agreed.”

“Get lost! You want a beating?” The pretty girl raised her fist.

Shen Yuan was certain that if he nodded, Li Zhi would give him a stun gun without hesitation.

“Violence won’t solve anything.”

“But it can solve you.”

That made sense.

Shen Yuan shrugged and told He Zhiyu, “Actually, Li Zhi was just begging me, that’s why I agreed.”

Hearing this, He Zhiyu looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

Li Zhi sighed, “Zhiyu, you have to understand me. Taking care of a child alone is really tiring, especially when the child is such a simpleton.”

With that, Li Zhi placed her hand on Shen Yuan’s head and said gently, “Isn’t that right, baby?”

Shen Yuan nodded, “Mommy, I want to eat…”

“Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony…”

Li Zhi quickly covered Shen Yuan’s mouth and chanted.

He Zhiyu watched the two of them, silently turned away, and then took out her phone and opened the notes app.

[They used absurd behavior to mask the true meaning of their intimate terms of address, but perhaps, someone was waiting for the other to take the first step.]

“If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll give you a slap!”

Shen Yuan leaned close to Li Zhi and asked, “Want to play slap my hand? I’ll give you a chance to slap me.”

Li Zhi frowned.

“You jerk! Get lost!”

A huge question mark appeared on Shen Yuan’s little head.

Wait, can you even jerk like that?

Actually, Shen Yuan was quite happy about changing seats at first.

But soon, his happiness vanished.

The first class was chemistry.

When the chemistry test papers were handed out, since Shen Yuan was sitting in Li Zhi’s seat, he naturally had to find Li Zhi’s test paper.

Then he saw a three-digit score.

“Damn…”

Just as Shen Yuan was surprised by Li Zhi’s score, a disgusted sound came from Li Zhi beside him.

Shen Yuan leaned over to look.

82 points.

That’s pretty good, no need for such a disgusted sound, right, Young Master Li?
“Satisfied?”

Shen Yuan shook his head.

Li Zhi didn’t say anything more, handed the test paper to Shen Yuan, and then started listening to the lesson.

The second period was still about going over the test papers. Big Sister seemed to be in a good mood today.

Perhaps it was because her Douyin followers had increased.

Monday was used for going over test papers.

Looking at his scores, his mistakes, and whether he had made any progress this week, he felt a pang of sadness.

There was no morning exercise

or flag-raising ceremony during the long break.

This made the boys in Class 15 feel uneasy for a while.

Without seeing their older sisters’ presence, they felt listless all day.

Before the final Chinese exam was handed out, Shen Yuan was still very happy.

His English score was a solid 146.

His combined science scores (physics, chemistry, and biology) were 82, 85, and 85 respectively.

A total of 489 points!

As for Chinese, if he could consistently score above 110, Shen Yuan could easily reach 600 points, successfully advancing to the next stage and shedding his “dog” status.

He couldn’t possibly get a measly 110 in Chinese, leaving him stuck at 599, could he?
If that happened, Shen Yuan would probably accept it. Even

if he was just one point short, he wouldn’t complain.

But now it seemed he was still a bit far from 620 points.

However, it was obvious that the Chinese exam results wouldn’t be handed out so soon.

The exams had just finished on Sunday, and even if Sister Lan stayed up all night, she might not be able to finish grading them all.

Just the essays from the 60 students in Class 15 alone would be enough to torment her for a while.

And it would be a constant oscillation between enjoyment and torment.

While waiting for the Chinese exam, Shen Yuan found himself turning pale.

“Young Master Li, do you think I can beat that Tong girl this time?”

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan and smiled slightly: “Of course not. Her math is already better than yours, and you can completely make up for your weakness in English with math, even surpassing her. Besides, her physics should already be better than yours.” Shen

Yuan slumped against his desk, feeling

utterly miserable.

He hadn’t passed last time, and he was likely to fail again this time.

“No, I have to study! Damn it, I have to study!”

The girl who used to sit next to Li Zhi was exasperated.

What? She thought that after the painful ordeal was over, she could finally relax a little, but now this exam monster had appeared.

Even though Shen Yuan’s score was low, he would still study!
Who could guarantee that Shen Yuan’s grades wouldn’t improve later?
If Shen Yuan’s grades improve, then has his current studying been worthwhile?

While Shen Yuan is putting in the work, I’m just chatting and thinking about what to eat for supper.

According to the theory of relativity, if others improve while I remain stagnant, it means I’m regressing.

Damn it!
No, no, I need to study!
Watching his former deskmate start studying, Li Zhi’s lips curled into a slight smile.

It’s so nice to watch others struggle in this sea of grades.
