The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 43

During a break from evening self-study, Shen Yuan took some fresh air in the corridor.

The classroom was too stuffy, and Shen Yuan felt a layer of sweat sticking to his body.

He would take a shower as soon as he got home.

“It’s been so long since we last met, don’t you have anything to say?”

Shen Yuan turned his head and saw A-Jie leaning against the wall, his eyes slightly unfocused. He

was just pretending .

“Are you bored? I didn’t call on you in English class today, I’ll call on you tomorrow.”

A-Jie immediately became unhappy.

“Hey hey hey! I’m the one you’ve been sitting next to the longest, don’t you feel a little sad about parting?”

Hearing this, Chen Mingyu laughed out loud: “Jie, do you know how well Lao Yuan is treated now?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Lao Yuan is surrounded by girls. Li Zhi on his left, He Zhiyu in front, Ji Ningning on his right, and Yao Yao behind him.”

Chen Mingyu clicked his tongue: “Half of the pretty girls in our class are next to him.”

Hearing this, Zhou Shaojie immediately widened his eyes and looked at Shen Yuan in disbelief.

“You son of a bitch!”

A-Jie immediately sprang to life with jealousy: “You’re a newbie!!”

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes: “I’m just sitting here.”

Yang Ze laughed and nudged Shen Yuan’s shoulder: “Yuan, you don’t know this, do you? Actually, A-Jie…”

Before Yang Ze could finish, A-Jie pounced on him and covered his mouth with his hand.

“What rumors are you spreading! I’m innocent and love math!”

Watching the two of them playfully bickering, Shen Yuan laughed.

Actually, even without Yang Ze finishing his sentence, Shen Yuan had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

Although Zhou Shaojie was good at abstract thinking, he didn’t really care about abstract things.

Although this was probably just hormones at play, who doesn’t have a white moonlight in their heart?
At eighteen, a girl who is clean, pure, and beautiful in her youth is someone’s white moonlight.

Did Shen Yuan have a white moonlight in his heart?
Shen Yuan thought maybe he did.

The girl who sat next to him in kindergarten was quite cute and always brought him candy.

If Shen Yuan hadn’t insisted on brushing his teeth back then, he’d probably have a mouthful of rotten teeth by now.

The school bell rang, and Shen Yuan, unusually, put several test papers into his schoolbag.

Seeing this, Li Zhi was astonished.

“What’s this?”

Shen Yuan patted his schoolbag, a proud look on his face: “These are the wrong questions. I’m going to study hard.”

Hearing Shen Yuan’s words, Ji Ningning sighed inwardly.

*Sigh*

Compared to Li Zhi’s unattainable level—referring to grades, of course—Shen Yuan’s progress was the most nerve-wracking thing.

Li Zhi was the kind of person you knew you could never catch up to, no matter how hard you tried.

Seeing her study, the first thought was that someone more talented than you was still working hard, a kind of self-motivation.

But Shen Yuan was different.

To put it bluntly, it was like a stray dog barking and chasing after you.

It was a sense of urgency.

Although Shen Yuan had only just entered the top class and his grades were average, there was nothing he could do; someone was willing to teach him.

And that person was the top student in the class.

Even worse, they were childhood sweethearts.

“Let’s go, I can’t wait to start the second half of our study session!”

Looking at Shen Yuan’s energetic demeanor, Li Zhi chuckled.

It wasn’t that Li Zhi didn’t trust Shen Yuan, but the point was, why bring it up when you could just do it yourself?

Good grief, you want to become a Pain Priest too?!

“Remember to report your progress to me.”

“Yes, sir!”

The two left the classroom, leaving Ji Ningning looking utterly bewildered.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi, what kind of lazy bums are they?!
Damn it!
No, no, I have to work harder.

Thinking this, Ji Ningning casually picked up her English vocabulary book, preparing to go back to her dorm to memorize.

On her way home, for some reason, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi found themselves holding a cup of oden, while Shen Yuan’s backpack suddenly held a bottle of iced tea.

“I noticed you haven’t been involved with anyone today.”

“Didn’t you already make your move?” Li Zhi put a slice of tofu in her mouth and took a delicious bite.

Juicy and satisfying.

“Wow, Young Master Li, so I’m part of your play too?”

Li Zhi nodded, a smile on her face.

Shen Yuan could tell if

Li Zhi was genuinely smiling. Just look into her eyes.

When Li Zhi truly smiled, her eyes would also reflect that smile.

“Manipulation of a beautiful high school boy.”

“Eh eh eh!”

Li Zhi warned with a husky-like gesture: “I didn’t instruct you, you’re the one who’s going to be a painful sacrifice.”

“Ha, I wouldn’t dare, I’m just a follower at your feet.” A

painful follower, Shen Yuan thought that must be it.

It sounded like someone completely opposed to the fanfiction club.

Just when Shen Yuan thought his explanation would get him full marks, Li Zhi kicked him in the shin.

“Pervert! What kind of dirty joke is that!”

In pain, Shen Yuan realized that what he had said earlier was indeed a bit too perverted.

If it were a strange girl, she’d probably be talking to Uncle Hat right now.

Then Shen Yuan would likely face Uncle Hat’s lecture, his parents’ disappointed looks, and Li Zhi’s disgust.

Just thinking about it is terrifying.

However, if it were a strange girl, Shen Yuan probably wouldn’t chat with her.

He’s socially awkward.

Shen Yuan’s social awkwardness depends on the situation.

In front of familiar people, Shen Yuan is a social terrorist, but in front of people he doesn’t want to talk to, Shen Yuan is a social phobic.

The ability to freely switch between different personalities is also an essential skill for people in modern society. He’s

the “work-life me” when he’s at work, and the “free-spirited me” when he’s off work.

He can switch between these two personalities at will.

“My bad,”

Shen Yuan apologized for his behavior.

Now it was Li Zhi’s turn to be surprised.

“Wait, why are you apologizing?”

“Huh?” Shen Yuan paused.

Is apologizing a problem these days?
“Shen Yuan, something’s wrong with you,”

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan seriously. “The most important thing you need to do right now is delete the confession wall on campus.”

Shen Yuan immediately became flustered.

Damn, that scene just now really resembled the protagonist in “The Infiltrator’s Wife.”

“Damn it! Who’s on me! Get off me right now!”

Li Zhi slapped Shen Yuan on the shoulder: “Go back and do a math test!”

Shen Yuan was stunned, looking at Li Zhi in astonishment: “This is scarier than being possessed by a ghost.”

“Just tell me if it’s working or not.”

“I kind of want the ghost back now, I don’t want to do the test.” Shen Yuan looked pained.

“As a follower of the Painful Sacrifice, you should be painfully adrift in a sea of problems.”

Li Zhi patted Shen Yuan’s shoulder: “Go do the problems, this is a curse from the Painful Sacrifice.”

Even ghosts don’t want to do math tests.

A miserable high school student, yet he manages to do so many problems in the classroom every day.

Got it.

Legend has it that those schools built on mass graves don’t actually use the students’ yang energy to suppress evil spirits.

They use the resentment of generations of high school students.

You dare to cause trouble in the senior year? You think you can leave without doing a set of Huanggang practice tests?
If you fail, you’ll be reduced to ashes!
