The System Says My Childhood Sweetheart Is My Future Blind Date - Chapter 8

Although Shen Yuan and Li Zhi lived across the hall from each other, their school times weren’t the same.

Waiting for them to get up together was a hassle.

Neither of them could guarantee they’d get up on time.

Boys, sometimes when the mood struck, would stay up late doing some crafts or something.

Shen Yuan wasn’t a craftsman, but he mainly liked to sleep in.

Sleeping in was unfair to the early riser.

So, the two of them didn’t have the habit of going to school together. Whoever wanted to go to school early could go early.

Shen Yuan, of course, wouldn’t go.

Shen Yuan knew very well that even if he went to school early, he wouldn’t be able to study.

At most, he’d just sleep somewhere else.

Besides that, he couldn’t think of anywhere else he could go.

Of course, unless Li Zhi messaged him asking to go to school together.

But that was obviously impossible.

Looking at the task at hand, Shen Yuan picked up his phone and sent Li Zhi a message.

Shen Yuan: “Let’s go to school together tomorrow.”

After sending the message, Shen Yuan waited a few minutes for Li Zhi to respond, then jumped onto his bed and knocked on the wall.

Next door.

Hearing the “thump, thump, thump” from the room, Li Zhi immediately knew it was Shen Yuan.

The two families lived next door, with only a wall separating Li Zhi’s and Shen Yuan’s rooms.

Li Zhi could usually hear anything Shen Yuan made.

Li Zhi picked up her phone, ready to yell at him, when she saw Shen Yuan’s message.

The two messages were somewhat unrelated.

One was about scooping poop, the next they were going to school together.

It was a bit off-topic.

Remembering Shen Yuan’s earlier words, Li Zhi immediately sensed something was wrong.

Shen Yuan soon received Li Zhi’s reply.

Li Zhi: “Treat me to breakfast.”

Shen Yuan: “Yes, yes, yes, what time?”

Li Zhi was slightly surprised; could he really accept that?

Li Zhi: “5:50 at the door.”

Seeing Li Zhi’s time, Shen Yuan wanted to rush to her room and confront her.

Why don’t you even get six hours of sleep?!

But Shen Yuan still replied with an OK.

Seeing Shen Yuan’s message, Li Zhi felt even more uneasy.

This guy, has he gone crazy from secretly petting the cat?

However, Li Zhi didn’t take it to heart.

Even if Shen Yuan had a problem, since she had already given him a time, if he didn’t do it, she wouldn’t wait any longer.

Early morning.

Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan yawning at the door and was deeply shocked.

“You actually got up?”

“Look at you, how could I not get up?”

Shen Yuan said, yawning.

To get himself up, Shen Yuan had set 10 alarms, one alarm per minute.

To ensure he got enough sleep, Shen Yuan had also compressed his brushing and washing time to a mere 2 minutes.

From getting up to leaving the house, it only took 5 minutes in total.

“Okay, okay, you can get up.”

Li Zhi said perfunctorily, and the two exchanged backpacks.

After handing the backpack to Shen Yuan, Li Zhi squatted down and started putting on her shoes.

Watching Li Zhi put her white-socked feet into her shoes, Shen Yuan suddenly felt that becoming a toad wasn’t so unacceptable after all.

A toad ambushing someone hidden in a cute girl’s shoe—that sounded quite appealing!

After putting on her shoes, Li Zhi noticed Shen Yuan still staring at her feet and immediately frowned.

“I now suspect that guy surnamed Tong also adjusted your XP.” With

her embarrassing past exposed, Shen Yuan was instantly wide awake.

Almost everyone instinctively resists their own past.

Shen Yuan was no exception.

“Does she deserve her?”

Faced with Shen Yuan’s rebuttal, Li Zhi didn’t say anything, but instead glanced at Shen Yuan from head to toe and let out a soft chuckle.

This action was incredibly damaging, and even more insulting.

“No, Li Zhi, what do you mean!”

Shen Yuan exclaimed anxiously.

“Think about it yourself,” Li Zhi said, entering the elevator.

Shen Yuan followed her into the elevator: “No, you have to explain yourself, or I’ll come to your room tonight and cosplay as a teru teru bozu.”

“That’s unnecessary, sister.”

As the elevator descended, Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan teasingly: “Do you really want me to continue exposing your dark history?”

Shen Yuan took a deep breath.

He had absolutely no courage to speak.

Seeing Shen Yuan’s hesitant expression, Li Zhi turned to look at the elevator’s LCD screen.

What an idiot.

Ordinary tea girls are there to hook up with rich guys.

But that Tong Churou keeps asking you about English, wanting nothing else; she’s clearly here to extract your study methods.

Is that black stockings?

That’s clearly a demonic imperial weapon, specifically designed to bewitch you lower-level, one-sided warriors so she can absorb your cultivation.

Now that she’s mastered her power, she’ll immediately ascend to the upper realm.

Those people from the lower realms, do you see her even paying attention to them now?

As for why Tong Churou doesn’t just find an all-around genius from the upper realm, Li Zhi can only say that someone who can’t even score 600 ca

n’t possibly discuss problems with the geniuses from the upper realm. Their problem-solving approaches are completely different.

Besides, aren’t there any pretty girls in their honors class?

Why does she have to find this witch from the lower realm?

Just because she wears black stockings to school?

Okay, no one in the honors class wears black stockings.

Thinking of this, Li Zhi’s gaze fell on himself in the elevator mirror.

“Hmph, if I wore stockings, I’d definitely look better than that academic badge.”

Only someone is blind.

…

The two usually eat breakfast at a breakfast shop on their way to school.

When Shen Yuan was in elementary school, his parents would get up early to prepare a loving breakfast for him.

But now, they’re getting older.

Not only can Shen Yuan not get up for school in the morning, but his parents can’t get up for work either.

Since they don’t need to get up to take their child to school, they might as well give him some money and let him buy his own breakfast.

This way, the child’s cravings could be satisfied, and she could sleep a little longer.

As for whether eating out would be safe, well

, if she really had to consider that, there were far too many things to worry about.

Li Zhi ordered a rice ball, and Shen Yuan ordered a deluxe egg pancake.

Getting up so early, they deserved a reward.

Shen Yuan even bought Li Zhi a cup of soy milk.

“Drink more soy milk, it’s good for your growth, sister,”

Li Zhi winked.

Although she didn’t know why, she’d check later.

If Shen Yuan was just making things up, she’d give him a good shove in the face.

Walking along the road, Li Zhi ate her rice ball in small bites, thinking about her doubts from yesterday, and then asked Shen Yuan,

“Why did you suddenly decide to go to school with me?”

Shen Yuan didn’t hesitate at all: “I’m in the honors class now, a complete transformation, a fresh start, and I’m going to study hard!”

“I’m Qin Shi Huang,” Li Zhi replied without hesitation as well.

“Okay,” Shen Yuan said hesitantly, “Actually, I want to pursue you, to give Gengzi and Naonao a complete family.”

“Is 620 stable?”

“Hey, hey, hey, I brought up love with you, and you bring up studies!”

Shen Yuan finished speaking, only to see Li Zhi still looking at him with that disdainful expression.

“Isn’t that what that guy surnamed Tong did?”

One sentence, and Shen Yuan was instantly speechless.

Shen Yuan thought his mission would be complete when he stepped into the school gates, but in fact, it wasn’t.

The mission was clearly written:

“Visit your high school with Li Zhi.”

In other words, he still had to go.

We’ll see.
