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

Chapter 205: Chapter 143: Li Bao Taught Me Well

Anyone who won’t let Ah Jie copy their homework is a jackass. And so is Shen Yuan.

Speaking of which, Shen Yuan had once been turned down by Pan Hao when he tried to copy homework, and ended up copying from Li Zhi instead.

After the other students on duty finished sweeping, Shen Yuan and Pan Hao picked up the trash cans together, ready to go empty them.

Since the two of them rarely spoke to each other, Shen Yuan had no intention of starting a conversation.

However, on their way to the dumpsters, Pan Hao suddenly broke the silence. "Shen Yuan, are you and Li Zhi dating?"

Shen Yuan was a little surprised to hear that.

Still, Shen Yuan shook his head and answered, "No, we’re not."

Seeing this, Pan Hao’s brow furrowed slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with Shen Yuan’s answer. He pressed on, "But you and Li Zhi seem really close."

Shen Yuan found Pan Hao’s questions a bit strange. "Is there a problem with being good friends?"

Shen Yuan looked at Pan Hao, his own brow furrowed. "If you’re done, let’s just hurry up and dump this trash. I need to get back to my reading."

But Pan Hao clearly wasn’t going to let it go. He kept pressing, "A little too good, don’t you think?"

Shen Yuan’s impatience was growing. He couldn’t help but shoot back, "What are you really trying to ask? Do you like Li Zhi?"

It was just a casual retort, but to his surprise, Pan Hao admitted it without a second’s hesitation. "Yes, I like Li Zhi."

’A love rival!’

Just as the thought surfaced in Shen Yuan’s mind, a familiar sound rang out.

"DING!"

[After leaving Zhejiang University, you found Li Zhi’s current workplace. Li Zhi was surprised by your arrival, and at the same time, her suitor also discovered your existence.]

[When your love rival belittles you in front of Li Zhi, use your skills to deal a heavy blow to your opponent!]

[Crush your love rival and make him give up his pursuit of Li Zhi. Reward: Double your current funds (9457.5).]

Shen Yuan raised an eyebrow.

’This damn Stupid System’s timeline is still stuck two days ago.’

’Still, this should be easy enough.’

Shen Yuan’s gaze locked onto Pan Hao as if trying to see right through him. Then, he launched his attack. "You like Li Zhi?"

Pan Hao nodded, an extremely earnest expression on his face. "I pursued her back in our second year of high school, but she turned me down."

Hearing this, the corner of Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched. An indescribable feeling welled up within him.

He stared at Pan Hao in disbelief, cursing inwardly.

’Fucking hell, did this Stupid System just assign me a rival who’s already lost?’

This sudden turn of events left Shen Yuan at a bit of a loss.

"Wait, then... what exactly are you trying to do?" Shen Yuan asked, his brow furrowed in suspicion.

He really couldn’t figure out what Pan Hao was trying to accomplish.

Pan Hao stared at Shen Yuan, as if observing his reaction. After a moment, he continued, "I just want to know, do you like Li Zhi?"

Shen Yuan’s frown deepened. He found Pan Hao’s question utterly baffling. "What the hell does whether I like Li Zhi or not have to do with you?"

However, Pan Hao wasn’t fazed by Shen Yuan’s attitude. With the same serious expression, he said, "I’ve seen how happy Li Zhi is when she’s with you. So, what I want to say is, if you really like her, please make sure you keep her that happy!"

Listening to Pan Hao’s speech, Shen Yuan felt like his brain was about to explode.

’What kind of pure-love-warrior speech is this?!’

He looked at Pan Hao’s earnest eyes and suddenly got the feeling that if he shook his head and said he didn’t like Li Zhi, Pan Hao might just kill him on the spot.

But in reality, Shen Yuan would have done so even without Pan Hao’s request.

Shen Yuan looked at Pan Hao and said with a smile, "Don’t you think she’s pretty happy with me right now?"

Hearing Shen Yuan’s words, Pan Hao opened his mouth to speak. "Then... that’s great."

There was a bitter note in Pan Hao’s voice.

The budding love of a pure love warrior had died.

[Mission Complete!]

[Crush your love rival and make him give up his pursuit of Li Zhi. Reward: Double your current funds (9457.5). (Completed)]

Shen Yuan scratched his head. Now he really couldn’t understand Pan Hao’s thought process at all.

’Oh well, time to simplify a complex problem.’

’Pan Hao is just a moron.’

’That’s it!’

After dumping the trash, Shen Yuan returned to the classroom with a spring in his step.

The bell for morning self-study had already rung long ago, and the sounds of reading aloud filled the classroom.

"Where have you been?"

His Eldest Female Cousin caught Shen Yuan in the hallway as she was coming out of Class 14.

"Taking out the trash," Shen Yuan said truthfully, lifting the trash can in his hand.

His Eldest Female Cousin nodded. "Alright, go on then."

After returning to his seat, Shen Yuan glanced at Li Zhi, who was busy studying vocabulary, and nodded to himself.

’Another day of protecting Young Master Li!’
