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

"Before, I was only 90% sure. Now, I’m 99% sure the author is Zhiyu."

Li Zhi spoke up on the way home.

He Zhiyu’s microexpressions were too easy to read.

The little author was way too concerned with her readers’ opinions... oh, wait, I should say the opinions of the people she’s writing about.

When she heard Li Zhi say her writing wasn’t sweet, He Zhiyu looked like she was about to fall apart.

Seeing her best friend in such a state, Li Zhi mentally scolded herself.

"So what are you going to do?" Shen Yuan asked.

"Didn’t I already say? She’s not really writing about us, so just let her write."

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi and nodded.

The two didn’t buy a late-night snack and instead went straight back to their residential complex.

"Come on, come on, let’s go get the package."

Li Zhi watched the cheerful Shen Yuan. Just as she was about to say she wouldn’t go, she saw him already striding toward the package lockers.

After walking a dozen or so steps, Shen Yuan turned his head to look at Li Zhi. "Come on!"

The beautiful girl let out a resigned sigh and started walking to catch up.

She hadn’t taken two steps before she was fuming internally.

’Why am I even going with him, Li Zhi!!’

A moment later, the two were staring at each other blankly in front of the package lockers.

"Um, are you going to take it now?" Shen Yuan asked tentatively.

"Take it? My ass! Not until you score over 620 and get over that English sweetheart of yours!"

Shen Yuan whined in protest, "Hey! That’s in the past! I already flat-out rejected her today!"

Li Zhi let out a dry laugh. "Oh? Is that so? But what does that have to do with me?"

"Hey, hey, hey," Shen Yuan picked up the package and sniffed it. "Take a whiff. Why does this package smell like vinegar?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s eyes immediately widened. "They say dogs can see things people can’t see. Now I have to add that dogs can also smell things people can’t smell!"

The target of the thinly veiled insult, Shen Yuan, wasn’t the least bit annoyed. Instead, he grinned at Li Zhi. "You’re getting worked up. You’re getting worked up."

"We both know who’s really worked up! Just you wait until the monthly exam scores are out. You’ll be copying test papers then!"

The beautiful girl stomped her foot, turned, and strode away.

Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi’s departing figure, a victorious smile spreading across his face.

’Tch, reeks of jealousy.’

Li Zhi had already been waiting by the elevator for a while when she saw Shen Yuan approaching with the package.

The moment she saw the package, Li Zhi’s eyes flew wide open.

’That bastard actually opened the package!!’

Looking at the black dress inside the packaging, a terrible thought popped into Li Zhi’s mind.

’This guy wouldn’t... hold the clothes and sniff them, would he?’

’That’s a little... no, that’s just straight-up perverted.’

Shen Yuan saw the look in Li Zhi’s eyes and knew exactly what she was thinking.

"You perv!"

With that, Shen Yuan shoved the item into Li Zhi’s arms. "Here, take it! It’s for you anyway, even if I don’t get a 620."

[Task Complete!]

[Give Li Zhi a gift. Reward: 2000 yuan. (Completed)]

Shen Yuan completely ignored the system notification.

’Don’t bother notifying me for a measly 2000 yuan next time!’

’It’s throwing off my rhythm!’

Li Zhi stared at the package in her hands, her brain short-circuiting for a moment.

"But..."

"Woman! You’re not allowed to refuse!"

Li Zhi’s mouth twitched. She sighed in resignation. "Fine. In that case, I’ll give you the Huanggang Papers later. They were for you anyway, even if you do score over 620."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Shen Yuan grew anxious. "Wait, why are you repaying my kindness with cruelty?"

"This is for your own good!"

Back at home, Li Zhi, true to her word, came out holding two sets of test papers.

After placing the papers in Shen Yuan’s hands, Li Zhi patted the stack.

"I didn’t get you ones for Chinese and English—it’d be useless anyway. Just do the Math and Comprehensive Science ones."

With that, a subtle smile played on Young Master Li’s lips.

"Man, don’t you worry about the test papers. I’ll be sure to satisfy you."

"You f—..."

Shen Yuan was rendered speechless.

Back in his own apartment, Shen Yuan put the test papers away.

’I’ll just bring a little bit to school each day to work on. Bringing it all at once would be no fun.’

’You can’t just drop a nuke when you’re in an academic arms race.’

’If you give someone an overdose all at once, they might just give up entirely.’

’It’s better to cut flesh with a dull knife—a slow torture is much more satisfying.’

Next door to Shen Yuan, Li Zhi had already opened the package.

Looking at the long dress spread out on the bed, Young Master Li’s expression went from an initial deep frown to one of gradual satisfaction.

Shen Yuan had chosen a sleeveless, off-the-shoulder halter dress. It wasn’t a deep-V neck, which would have been way too tacky.

High-waisted and A-line.

Li Zhi held it up against herself. The hem reached just above her ankles.

At this thought, Young Master Li looked down at the pair of high heels and frowned.

’That idiot Shen Yuan, what high school student wears high heels!’

But despite her words, Li Zhi slipped off her slippers and put on the high heels.

The heels Shen Yuan had chosen weren’t very high—only four centimeters.

But on Li Zhi, who was already tall and slender, the effect was even more dramatic.

The straps visually enhanced the slimness of her ankles while also flattering the shape of her calves.

Li Zhi examined the shoes from different angles in the mirror.

Other than being unsuitable for school, there was nothing really wrong with them.

After holding the dress up against herself again, Young Master Li nodded in satisfaction.

Then she glanced down at her feet.

Because she was wearing socks right now, it looked a little strange.

But Li Zhi could imagine how they would look with just no-show socks, or even... with stockings.

At that thought, Li Zhi immediately spat in the direction of the apartment next door.

"Selaan!"

Obviously, Shen Yuan had revealed his fetish.

Li Zhi looked at the dress and shoes in the mirror. To be honest, the outfit was perfectly normal.

But the moment Li Zhi thought about wearing this outfit—with stockings, no less—for Shen Yuan to see, a powerful sense of shame washed over her.

’That idiot Shen Yuan! He absolutely cannot score over 620 tomorrow!!’

’It would be best not to have to wear it at all.’

「Monday morning.」

First thing in the morning, Li Zhi heard a commotion from next door.

"Paw prints as proof! Toe beans as witness! Great Cat God above! Purr purr purr!"

"Bless me to get a score of 620 when the results are released today!"

Inside the room, San Geng kicked Shen Yuan in the face with one paw and scampered off.

Shen Yuan watched San Geng’s departing figure and nodded with conviction.

"The great Cat God has given his seal of approval!"

’I don’t care if it was a front paw or a back paw, all that matters is that he stamped it!’

When he went out, Shen Yuan saw that Li Zhi’s door was shut tight.

After putting on his shoes, Shen Yuan pressed the elevator button, then glanced at her shoe rack.

The beautiful girl’s shoes were all still there.

Behind the door, Li Zhi was watching Shen Yuan’s every move. She waited until she saw him step into the elevator, then deliberately waited another full minute before leaving.

DING!

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Li Zhi saw a familiar figure standing right there.

Shen Yuan stood with his arms crossed, looking at Li Zhi with a serious expression. "Woman! You can’t escape me!"

What greeted Shen Yuan was a flying kick from Young Master Li.

"Die, you perv!"

Shen Yuan dodged elegantly and reached out to steady Li Zhi by the arms, keeping her from losing her balance.

"Be careful. I’d be heartbroken if you got hurt. Hiss—"

Li Zhi stomped on Shen Yuan’s shoe.
