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

Chapter 201: Chapter 142: Is This Something I Can Watch? (Part 2)

Shen Yuan shrugged nonchalantly. "Well, we could also get some oden!"

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s pink lips pursed slightly, as if she were considering his suggestion.

After a moment, the beautiful girl nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I want beef tendon balls—two skewers!" Li Zhi said enthusiastically. "And I also want tofu skin and daikon radish."

Shen Yuan heard this and teased with a laugh, "You’re eating radish? Careful, you might be farting later!"

As soon as she heard that, Li Zhi shot back, "That’s disgusting!"

Shen Yuan looked at her reaction and asked in confusion, "That’s all it takes to disgust you?"

Before Shen Yuan could say another word, Li Zhi suddenly reached out, covered his mouth, and scolded, "We’re on the street! Stop acting crazy!"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, feeling the warm touch of the beautiful girl’s palm against his lips.

The girl’s palm was soft yet firm, and the taut muscle at the base of her thumb pressed against his lower lip.

Li Zhi’s palm carried a faint, sweet scent, the same one as on her clothes.

The fragrance mingled with the hot breath escaping Shen Yuan’s nose, creating a subtle, moist warmth around his lips.

Li Zhi seemed to notice something and quickly snatched her hand back.

"Pervert!"

Daily Quest: Scolding from a beautiful girl (Complete)!

Shen Yuan argued, "Hey, hey, hey, how am I the pervert? You’re the one who covered my mouth first!"

"I could tell what you were thinking just from how much you were enjoying it!"

Shen Yuan clicked his tongue.

’Okay, I really can’t argue with that.’

Seeing Shen Yuan’s cheeky grin, Li Zhi rolled her eyes in exasperation and said grumpily, "As punishment, you’re treating me to a late-night snack!"

The moment Shen Yuan heard that, his face lit up, and he readily agreed, "You got it! Let’s roll, Stinky!"

Hearing the nickname, Li Zhi retorted, "You’re the one who’s stinky!"

Seeing her reaction, Shen Yuan quickly changed his tune, saying with a grin, "Sweetie, you’re my Sweetie."

Li Zhi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his smooth-talking and complained, "Who’s your Sweetie?!"

"Li Zhi is!" Shen Yuan said, smiling at the beautiful girl before him, then repeated, "Li Zhi is my Sweetie!"

Li Zhi snapped, "Get lost!"

"On it." Shen Yuan wasn’t angry in the slightest. He just scampered off like an eager child to buy the oden.

"Hey!" Li Zhi suddenly called out to him.

"What’s up?"

Li Zhi pouted and mumbled, "Never mind the radish."

Shen Yuan, standing a few steps away, flashed a brilliant smile at Li Zhi and nodded. "Got it."

The two still finished their late-night snack before getting home.

While they were waiting for the elevator, Shen Yuan suddenly asked, "By the way, I’m doing your cleaning duties for you, but you still haven’t told me what I get out of it."

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s brow furrowed slightly. She retorted with some displeasure, "Isn’t doing a week of cleaning duties for your adorable childhood friend enough?"

"It is, I never said it wasn’t. But what about my reward?"

Shen Yuan said, "The reward, sis. Treating me to lunch for a week would do."

"Is that it? Is that all you can come up with?"

Hearing Li Zhi’s words, Shen Yuan started rubbing his hands together excitedly like a fly. "Can I think of something a little bolder?"

"No!"

"Then I want you to wake me up for a week."

"I said no... huh?"

Li Zhi, who had been leaning lazily against the tiled wall of the elevator lobby, instantly straightened up at his words.

The beautiful girl’s almond eyes went wide, the tips of her ears turning pink under the hallway light. Her right index finger jabbed sharply at Shen Yuan’s chest. "You’ve really got this all figured out, don’t you!"

She leaned forward, closing the distance between them. "You want *me* to wake *you* up? What’s that supposed to mean?! It’d make more sense for you to wake me up!"

This was the exact phrase Shen Yuan had been waiting for.

"Okay, then I’ll wake you up!"

The moment Li Zhi heard him say that, she knew she had fallen into his trap.

"You fucking wish..."

Just as Li Zhi was about to refuse Shen Yuan, she saw the anticipation in his eyes.

The beautiful girl pressed her lips together, her gaze a mixture of annoyance and affection as she looked at Shen Yuan.

Then, Li Zhi took out her phone and, right in front of Shen Yuan, turned off her alarm.

"Let me tell you something. My alarm is set for 5:10 AM every morning. If I wake up and see that your call didn’t come at exactly 5:10 AM, you’re dead!"

As Li Zhi’s voice fell, the elevator doors slid open.

The beautiful girl strode into the elevator on her long legs, and Shen Yuan followed her in.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely have you up by 5:00 AM sharp!"

"Then you can just die." Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan. "5:10 AM. Not a second off!"

"Got it, got it."

When they reached their floor, the two waved goodbye.

Just as Shen Yuan was about to open his door, he suddenly turned back around.

"Li Zhi!"

"What now? What did you think of this time?" Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan with resignation.

Under the beautiful girl’s gaze, Shen Yuan broke into a radiant smile. "You look really beautiful today."

Li Zhi’s fingertips, resting on the doorknob, suddenly tightened. Her pupils contracted for a split second under the hallway light.

The clear tail end of Shen Yuan’s voice still hung in the hallway, and she felt the tips of her ears burn as if seared by the evening wind.

Her eyelashes fluttered twice. As the beautiful girl turned her face away, the stray hairs at the nape of her neck brushed against her reddened earlobe, casting a small, messy shadow on her collarbone.

"Like I need you to tell me!"

The chiding words slipped out, but her tone was a fraction softer than usual.

After saying that, Li Zhi quickly opened the door and went inside her home.

The security door clicked shut against the frame.

The moment her back was against the door, Li Zhi unconsciously bit her lower lip. Looking down, she noticed she had been clutching the cuff of her knit sweater so tightly that it was covered in fine wrinkles.

Li Zhi touched her cheek and only then realized how intensely hot it was.

Out in the hallway, Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi’s figure disappear behind the door, the smile on his face growing even brighter.
