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

The lunch break quickly passed.

Because his Eldest Female Cousin had swapped classes, Class 15’s first period in the afternoon became PE.

The feeling of having PE right after waking up from a nap was, needless to say, incredibly comfortable.

Their desks were wired to their brains, drowsiness replacing all thought.

After the standard warm-ups in PE, some of the third-year students immediately started walking back toward the school building.

Most of them were planning to go back to the classroom to continue their nap.

Of course, there were also those who planned to go back and hit the books.

Shen Yuan was one of the latter.

"Seriously, Lao Yuan? It’s PE class, a rare break! Let me rest for a bit!"

Zhou Shaojie whined, his face a mask of misery.

He had been dragged back by Shen Yuan.

Because of what happened before the lunch break, Zhou Shaojie didn’t dare resist, afraid that Shen Yuan would kill him in a fit of rage.

Shen Yuan turned and pointed a finger. "Shut it. People with low scores have no right to speak! The only thing you’re allowed to say right now is English vocabulary. The only sound I want to hear from your mouth is English vocabulary!"

Zhou Shaojie’s mouth twitched. "I don’t want to work hard anymore."

"Pathetic!"

Shen Yuan looked at Zhou Shaojie furiously.

’He pitied his friend’s plight but was furious at his lack of ambition!’

"Do you want to keep spiraling downward?! Was your grand ambition to learn English only going to last for a day? No, it hasn’t even been half a day! Think about how you tried to quit your vices! Do you really want to keep living this degenerate life?"

Zhou Shaojie’s Abstinence Log.

Day 1: First day of abstinence.

Day 2: First day of abstinence.

Day 3: First day of abstinence.

Day 4: Zhou Shaojie, oh, Zhou Shaojie, how could you be so degenerate! Have you forgotten the plans you made?!

Day 5: First day of abstinence.

Day 6: Second day of abstinence.

Day 7: First day of abstinence.

Ah Jie stared blankly at Shen Yuan, a struggle apparent on his face.

"No..."

"It’s not like that!"

Ah Jie’s ambition was rekindled. "I want to change! I want to become an English master!"

"Good! That’s the spirit!"

Shen Yuan slapped the vocabulary book onto Ah Jie’s desk. "Now, begin your studies!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ah Jie opened the vocabulary book, looked at the first word, and read aloud, "Abandon, to give up!"

Shen Yuan completely lost it.

After that little interlude, Shen Yuan got down to his own business.

’Practice problems. I have to do practice problems.’

’There’s a gap of over sixty points between me and Li Zhi.’

’Who knows if Young Master Li’s score will jump past 700 after this round of review.’

Shen Yuan didn’t want to fall too far behind.

’Right now, I’m not aiming to surpass Li Zhi’s score, just to close the gap.’

’If I can go up five points with each monthly exam, I can reach 680 before the college entrance exams.’

As for why Shen Yuan was so confident?

’Don’t you understand the value of the system?’

Just as Shen Yuan took out a test paper, preparing to work on some problems, a familiar voice echoed in his mind.

DING!

[The gift you gave has satisfied Li Zhi.]

[This gift has brought the two of you slightly closer. Strike while the iron is hot and ask Li Zhi out on a date!]

[Complete a date with Li Zhi. Reward: 5,000 yuan!]

’Look at that!’

’Just look at that!’

’The system’s value just keeps going up!’

Shen Yuan didn’t even know what to complain about anymore.

’But speaking of dates, does walking home with Li Zhi every day after school count?’

’Strolling down the street, wandering around the athletic field—aren’t these the kinds of things young couples like to do?’

He and Li Zhi walked home together, chatting as they went. Occasionally, they would stop for a late-night snack. Although these moments were ordinary, they were filled with warmth and sweetness.

’How could this not be considered a date?’

’Even if it’s just for ten short minutes, it’s still a date!’

The more Shen Yuan thought about it, the more sense it made. He started to ponder how he could exploit a bug in the system.

His gaze involuntarily fell upon Li Zhi.

Li Zhi keenly caught his stare. She shot a sharp look back at him and asked, "What?"

"We didn’t get a late-night snack yesterday. Want to get one today?"

Li Zhi stared at Shen Yuan for a moment, seemingly observing his expression, but ultimately found nothing unusual about it.

The beautiful girl replied coolly, "Don’t you think I’ve eaten a bit too much today?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuan felt a little disappointed, but he still asked tentatively, "So, no snack then?"

Li Zhi nodded again in agreement.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but feel a little regretful.

After all, a date needs an invitation, and Li Zhi had just rejected his.

He started to worry that his mission would fail because of this.

’The system’s mission timing might be irregular, but as long as I complete them, the next one always seems to arrive faster.’

’But what else can I invite her to do now?’

’What could we possibly do on the way home from school...’

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed through Shen Yuan’s mind, and he was certain that Li Zhi would have absolutely no reason to refuse this proposal.

So, under Ah Jie’s curious gaze, Shen Yuan furtively approached Li Zhi’s desk. Blinking his big eyes, he wore a sly smile.

"Then, how about we walk home together after school?" Shen Yuan said softly, his voice tinged with anticipation.

Hearing this, He Zhiyu, who had also returned to the classroom, immediately perked up!

’Wait a minute, don’t those two always walk home together?’

Having had this realization, He Zhiyu was momentarily confused. But soon, she came to terms with it!

’As long as there’s sweet romantic content, that’s all that matters.’

’I’ll gobble it all up!’

’Yes! A true shipping connoisseur!’

As for Li Zhi.

Faced with Shen Yuan’s invitation, Li Zhi just gave him a faint smile, then mercilessly said:
