I'm in Senior Year, and the System Says I'm Going on a Blind Date with My Childhood Sweetheart

Faced with Young Master Li’s massive physics textbook, Shen Yuan clutched his head and scurried away.

Ah Jie witnessed this scene and let out a fittingly sarcastic jeer.

"You’re so weak, Lao Yuan! You should have used your Invincible Iron Head Skill to take that hit!"

"I trained in the Vajra Leg!"

Shen Yuan executed a slide tackle and slammed into Ah Jie.

During evening self-study, Old Zhou walked into the classroom with a stack of papers before the bell for the first session even rang.

"Time for the weekly test."

After speaking, Old Zhou began passing out the papers.

"No way, a test during evening study hall?"

"This is outrageous! We have so much homework, and now we don’t even have time to do it during study hall!"

"Old Zhou, I’m about to start copying homework! Are you gonna stop me or what?"

Old Zhou chuckled as he looked at his students. "But I didn’t assign any homework today. Which subject are you copying? I’ll go have a word with that teacher."

Stack after stack of test papers rained down.

Shen Yuan’s expression was grave as he watched the math test "roll" its way toward him.

Compared to the previous weekly Chinese test, Shen Yuan was clearly taking this math test much more seriously.

If Sister Lan heard that, she’d probably turn into a vengeful ghost on the spot.

But it couldn’t be helped. This was a normal phenomenon.

After all, when it came to grades, Shen Yuan’s math was indeed a bit poor. There was nothing wrong with focusing more on improving it.

Besides, it would be much harder to improve his Chinese score, which was already close to 120.

Rather than putting in a ton of effort to push his Chinese score past 120, it made more sense to figure out how to get his math score *to* 120.

The latter was clearly less difficult and offered a greater reward.

The moment the math test was in his hands, Shen Yuan began to read it over.

Just as mentioned before,

Once the first round of review began, the focus of all the weekly tests shifted to reinforcing the corresponding review material.

In short, the weekly tests now were different from how they were at the beginning.

Although the purpose of the tests had changed, the exam time remained the same.

After two evening study sessions, Old Zhou collected the tests and left the classroom.

Before he left, he didn’t forget to remind the students to hurry up and do their homework.

"Now I really have no choice but to copy homework!"

"Fellow students, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Now is the perfect time to become my adoptive father. Hand over your homework; I am ready to acknowledge a thief as my father."

The moment Sun Xiansheng finished speaking, Zhou Shaojie stood up with his biology homework.

"Say it!"

"Adoptive Father!" Sun Xiansheng said without a hint of hesitation.

"Take it!"

Seeing this, several others picked up their own homework and handed it to Sun Xiansheng.

Looking at the grand spectacle before him, Sun Xiansheng cried out in a panicked voice, "Aiya, my dear adoptive fathers! You’re all the death of me! I, Sun Xiansheng, truly love studying!"

As he spoke, Sun Xiansheng gathered up the homework.

Watching Sun Xiansheng’s performance, Shen Yuan, one of the founders of the Wild History Research Society, nodded and said:

"Truly worthy of being the chairman of our Wild History Research Society. Such an act of leading the charge in ’making history’ is truly impressive! The members of our Wild History Research Association must follow Chairman Sun’s example!"

"Indeed! Indeed!!"

The members of the Wild History Research Society all chimed in in agreement.

...

Just before the end of evening study hall, Shen Yuan wrote the last symbol on his paper, finally finishing all of today’s homework.

He lifted another worksheet that was lying on top of his own.

Shen Yuan returned the paper to Chen Mingyu in the front row. "Adoptive Father, I’m done."

"You mean you’re done *copying*!"

After Chen Mingyu spoke, Shen Yuan’s brows furrowed.

"Hey! How can you call it copying when it’s the business of a scholar? This was a reluctant act against my conscience, done only to save time for reading at home. My heart is in agony, I tell you."

Hearing this, Ah Jie rolled his eyes.

"Oh, give me a break. Copying is copying, why make so many excuses? You should be like me: copy openly, copy with a clear conscience, copy with the courage to face the consequences."

"Then don’t copy my English next time."

"You didn’t do the fucking English homework today either!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"Quiet!"

Yang Yimeng, the class discipline monitor, shot them a cold glare. The three of them instantly fell silent like cicadas in winter.

A moment later, the bell to dismiss class rang.

The senior year building immediately erupted into a chaotic din.

After packing his bag, Shen Yuan began to wait for Li Zhi.

Standing beside Li Zhi’s desk, Shen Yuan’s sharp eyes noticed Ji Ningning place her English vocabulary book on her desk.

"Is the tryhard planning to take that back to the dorm to memorize vocabulary again?"

Hearing Shen Yuan’s words, Ji Ningning felt her temples throb.

"You’re the tryhard! What’s wrong with me memorizing some words?!"

Shen Yuan put on a serious expression. "Memorizing words is fine, but you’ll disturb your roommate’s sleep like that. We grind to learn and improve ourselves. I cannot approve of achievements gained by disrupting others’ rest."

Ji Ningning took a deep breath, composed herself, and said, "I never said I was going to study now. I wake up at five in the morning to memorize vocabulary."

"It seems you took my advice. Very good. In that case, I will no longer call you a tryhard."

Ji Ningning rolled her eyes at that, then left with her girlfriends.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to say something, a loud SMACK suddenly sounded beside him.

Then, Li Zhi’s voice rang in his ear.

"Tsk, you really do go to great lengths for your classmates’ academic success. Even advising her to wake up at five to study."

Seeing the teasing look on the beautiful girl’s face, Shen Yuan thought, ’This is bad.’

’Young Master Li has probably turned into a jealousy demon.’

But before Shen Yuan could explain, He Zhiyu jumped up.

"Shen Yuan! What do you think you’re doing?!"

The little author’s eyes were wide with anger. "This is a betrayal!"

Shen Yuan looked at He Zhiyu, completely bewildered.

"No..."

But before He Zhiyu could say anything, a figure darted out from the side.

Zhuo Peipei clapped a hand over He Zhiyu’s mouth and laughed awkwardly. "Hehe, you two carry on, carry on. The kid’s a little slow in the head."

The esteemed Chairwoman quickly dragged the little author away.

As she was being led away, the little author was still struggling relentlessly.

"Mmph! Mmph mmph!"

After that interruption from the little author, Shen Yuan forgot what he had been about to say.

Looking into Li Zhi’s eyes, Shen Yuan chuckled. "Are you all packed up? If so, let’s head back. I’m already looking forward to tomorrow."

Hearing Shen Yuan’s words, the smile on Li Zhi’s face vanished instantly.

The beautiful girl naturally knew what he meant by that.

Sure enough, once they were outside the classroom, Shen Yuan started acting up.

He took a headband out of his bag and placed it on his head with great solemnity.

He flipped a switch, and a bright light shone from the top of his head.

A bright yellow-orange exclamation mark appeared right above his head.

As everyone knows, when guys see something with an exclamation mark over its head, they can’t help but go over and click it.

"HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!"

In the hallway, a string of profanities erupted from Ah Jie’s mouth. Amidst these cries of alarm, he arrived in front of Shen Yuan.

"Holy shit! Yuan! You must give me a quest right now!"

Shen Yuan looked at Ah Jie’s expectant gaze and slowly nodded.

"Hmm—"

"Young student, I see your English grades are average. Why don’t you go memorize 100 vocabulary words tonight? Recite them for me tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir!" Ah Jie responded loudly.

The moment Ah Jie finished speaking, he was pushed aside by Yang Ze.

"Oh, my dear Great Mage Shen Yuan, please be so kind as to give me a quest! I will complete it with the utmost seriousness!"

Shen Yuan looked at Yang Ze. "Young student, your grades in all subjects are quite balanced. In that case, go home tonight and complete a Huanggang practice test!"

"I guarantee I will complete the mission!!"

"Me, me, me, and me!!" Sun Xiansheng beat his chest excitedly.

"Yuan! Give it to me! I want a quest! I want a big quest!"

This was likely a side effect from that one night.

Shen Yuan looked at Sun Xiansheng with slight disgust. "You... you have an evil aura about you! Go home tonight and read the student handbook to yourself."

Sun Xiansheng stomped his foot with a SNAP and stood as straight as a pine tree.

"I guarantee I will complete the mission!!"

Just then, Shen Yuan’s gaze swept over to Ai Muyu, who stood to the side, his expression hesitant.

Shen Yuan extended a hand. "My child, do you have anything you wish to say?"

Ai Muyu’s expression hardened, a blush on his face. "Um, could you give me a quest too? Preferably a difficult one."

With that, Ai Muyu lowered his head and began to fidget shyly.

Shen Yuan’s expression froze. "You... score over 280 on a Gaokao science comprehensive exam practice test. If you can’t, your punishment is to copy the vocabulary from English Required Course 2, Unit 3, fifty times."

"Okay!" Ai Muyu said excitedly. "I will definitely complete this quest with all my heart! The punishment... oh, what a wonderful punishment!"

A clear-cut masochist.

Li Zhi watched this scene, speechless.

Just then, Shen Yuan sidled up to her. "See that? I sow seeds of suffering, yet they accept it with joy. That’s personal charisma!"

Shen Yuan conveniently forgot to mention the effect of the light on his head.

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at him. "Let’s go. I’m hungry and I want a late-night snack."

"Wait."

Shen Yuan took off his headband and placed it in Li Zhi’s hands.

"Say that again."

Li Zhi’s mouth twitched.

She wasn’t quite sure why, but her leg lifted up, and then Shen Yuan’s shin collided with her shoe. How strange.

Shen Yuan clutched his shin, grimacing in pain. "Snack, snack, snack, my treat."

Li Zhi casually plopped the headband back on Shen Yuan’s head.

"Let’s go."

Before leaving, Shen Yuan waved to his "followers." "You must complete your quests!"

"We will!"

Li Zhi immediately quickened her pace.

’I don’t know him. I don’t know him at all!’

Hidden in the darkness of the school building, Zhuo Peipei watched Shen Yuan and Li Zhi walk away before her gaze fell upon He Zhiyu beside her. She spoke with resignation, "Look at you, what was the rush? Nothing even happened!"

He Zhiyu lowered her head and said meekly, "I... I was just anxious."

Zhuo Peipei shook her head. "Zhiyu, you have to remember, we of the Kissing Association must not be hasty in situations like this! When it comes to shipping material, you must carefully seek verification. Acting like you just did will only expose your identity as the author!"

Zhuo Peipei looked at He Zhiyu seriously. "You don’t want Li Zhi to find out that you’re the one who wrote *Defend and Steal*, do you?"

He Zhiyu shook her head.

’She would probably be killed for that.’
