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

Chapter 198: Chapter 141: There Are Many Kinds of Relationships Between Me and Li Zhi (2)

Yang Ze’s eyes lit up instantly. He pressed eagerly, "What’s going on? Spit it out!"

Just then, He Zhiyu, who was off to the side, seemed to have already guessed what Shen Yuan was about to say. A smile played on her lips as she quietly prepared to enjoy the sweet drama.

Amid everyone’s expectant gazes, Shen Yuan finally spoke slowly, "Neighbors. Li Zhi and I live in the same complex, the same unit, the same building, and on the same floor."

When Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu heard this, their expressions instantly became priceless, as if they’d been struck by lightning.

And the little author, He Zhiyu, who had been ready to enjoy the show, was also stunned on the spot. Disappointed, she turned back to her book.

"You bastard!!"

Just as Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu were about to reach out and "teach" Shen Yuan a lesson, Shen Yuan, with lightning-fast reflexes, suddenly grabbed both their wrists. Then, using a somewhat sloppy grappling hold, he forced their wrists down hard.

Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to have a move like this at all. They only felt a sharp pain in their wrists and couldn’t help but cry out, "Hey, hey, hey, hey!"

"We were wrong, we were wrong! Bro, we were wrong!" the two hurriedly begged for mercy.

Listening to their continuous pleas for mercy, Shen Yuan said in a low and solemn voice:

"A father won’t hold a grudge against his own sons. But if you dare to challenge your father’s authority again and again, then Father will absolutely make you understand the meaning of ’a father’s loving iron fist’!"

As his voice fell, Shen Yuan gave a sharp, cold snort.

Then, he released his tight grip on their hands.

Released, Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu felt as if they’d received a royal pardon. They quickly rubbed their aching wrists and looked at Shen Yuan, their faces full of astonishment.

"No way, Lao Yuan, how is your grip so strong?" Yang Ze’s eyes widened as he asked in disbelief.

"Hmph!" The corners of Shen Yuan’s mouth lifted slightly into a disdainful smile.

"You guys think you can compete with my strength? Let me tell you, this is a unique skill I’ve perfected over 18 years of being single. You could never learn it!"

"Pah!" Chen Mingyu spat upon hearing this. "Stop being so damn smug. You make it sound like we’re not single too!"

Seeing this, Shen Yuan snorted again, too lazy to argue with them any further.

After settling into his seat, Shen Yuan dropped a line: "I’m going to start studying. From now on, don’t bother me."

"Huh!" Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu let out a disdainful gasp in unison, clearly unhappy with Shen Yuan’s attitude.

However, as the bell for evening self-study rang, the three musketeers were surprised to find that Shen Yuan didn’t seem to be kidding.

’That son of a bitch is actually serious this time!’

Shen Yuan would usually mess around with them for a bit during the breaks in evening self-study, but today, the guy spent the entire time with his nose in a book at his desk.

"No way, buddy, are you really studying? Classes don’t officially start until tomorrow!"

After Shen Yuan shot down his attempt to goof off, Ah Jie immediately sensed that something was off.

Without looking up, Shen Yuan said, "Ah Jie, time waits for no one! Just tell me, how long until the college entrance exam?"

Ah Jie looked up at the countdown timer in the classroom and said, "276 days. What’s up?"

"In 276 days, if you memorize 10 new words a day, that’s 2,760 words. Even if you don’t remember the grammar and tenses, that’s enough to raise your English score to over 120."

"In 276 days, if you improve your English score by 50 points, even if you only achieve 50% of that, you can still score over 650 in total."

Only then did Shen Yuan look up, gaze at Ah Jie seriously, and say, "Ah Jie, work hard. I’ve already surpassed you in every way. And you? You’re still stuck in the same place."

After listening to Shen Yuan’s long speech, Ah Jie silently lowered his head.

"I get it. I’ll work hard!"

Ah Jie looked at Shen Yuan and said seriously, "Wait for me, I’m gonna go to the bathroom first. When I get back, I’ll study hard with you!"

Shen Yuan nodded. After watching Ah Jie leave his seat, he turned his head back to his test paper.

As for Ah Jie.

The moment his butt left his seat, he went to the bathroom and unloaded everything on his mind.

When the dumbass kid returned to the classroom, he was being carried in from outside for an "Aruba."

By the time Ah Jie was back in his seat, whimpering and groaning, Shen Yuan didn’t even bother to acknowledge him.

’I’m not getting involved with someone who doesn’t like to study.’

...

"Jie, how do you do this problem?"

Zhou Shaojie glanced at the problem Shen Yuan had brought over to ask about.

Functions. It was a topic Old Zhou hadn’t reviewed yet.

"Seriously? Is this supposed to be hard?"

As he spoke, Zhou Shaojie started writing out the solution on a piece of scratch paper.

Shen Yuan watched Zhou Shaojie’s smooth problem-solving process, his brow furrowed slightly. When he saw the final answer, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, so that’s how it’s done?"

Hearing this, Ah Jie rolled his eyes. "Buddy, don’t come to me with problems of this difficulty anymore. I need a greater challenge."

Shen Yuan rolled his eyes back at Ah Jie. "Listen to you talk. Then why don’t you compete in the Olympiad? Why aren’t you in the Olympiad class?"

Hearing the word "Olympiad," Ah Jie heaved a long sigh.

"Dude, it’s hard to get extra points from the Olympiad! And getting a guaranteed admission is even harder! Do you have any idea how many years it’s been since someone from our school got a guaranteed spot? Besides, it’s not like I haven’t fucking tried it before. That feeling of being tortured to death and back... no thanks."

Ah Jie slumped onto his desk and sighed. "Buddy, your bro here sees things pretty clearly. Around here, my math is top-tier. As long as I don’t mess up on the college entrance exam, I’d even dare to beat my chest and say I can get a perfect 150. Even if I don’t, over 145 is absolutely doable."
