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

Chapter 208: Chapter 144: Send Me the Photo, Send Both

What was even more stunning was their reaction. The moment they heard the sound and looked back, they moved in perfect sync, their bodies stopping at the exact same angle, as if meticulously choreographed.

Shen Yuan stared at the photo, moved by the beauty of the moment.

He said to his Eldest Female Cousin without hesitation, "Send it to me!"

Seeing this, his Eldest Female Cousin’s lips curved into a sly smile. "Get me lunch and some milk tea, and I’ll send you the photo later!"

Shen Yuan agreed at once, nodding without the slightest hesitation. "No problem."

His Eldest Female Cousin was clearly a little surprised by how readily he agreed, but she didn’t say much. She just nodded and turned back to her office.

If someone was willing to run an errand and buy her lunch, she was more than happy to let them.

After returning to the office, Yang Yishui started scrolling through her phone.

She had a ton of DMs on TikTok. Eldest Female Cousin used to check them at first, but now she couldn’t be bothered to reply.

’I should just scroll through videos instead.’

Just as Eldest Female Cousin was engrossed in her videos, Zhou Ruolan drifted in with light, cheerful steps.

Her gaze fell on Yang Yishui, and she asked curiously, "Eh? Shuishui, why aren’t you going to the cafeteria for lunch?"

Yang Yishui smiled faintly. "I asked Shen Yuan to get it for me. Do you want some milk tea? He can grab one for you, too."

Eldest Female Cousin’s tone was relaxed and natural, as if this were the most ordinary thing in the world.

Zhou Ruolan waved her hand, politely declining. "I’d better not, but thanks."

Yang Yishui could order Shen Yuan around because they were cousins, but Zhou Ruolan felt she shouldn’t.

Yang Yishui wasn’t surprised by Zhou Ruolan’s answer; she just smiled and nodded.

Soon, however, she changed the subject, excitedly sharing the photo she had just taken with Zhou Ruolan.

"Look, isn’t this a great shot?"

Yang Yishui said, her face full of pride, "I just snapped it casually, but the result was amazing! Look at this lighting, this composition... it has such a youthful vibe!"

As she spoke, she handed her phone to Zhou Ruolan so she could take a closer look.

Zhou Ruolan took the phone and studied the photo on the screen.

Looking at the photo, Zhou Ruolan suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly pulled out her own phone from her pocket.

"Speaking of photos, I think I took a similar one before," Zhou Ruolan said.

Zhou Ruolan opened her photo album and, after searching for a moment, found a picture she had taken at dusk.

Yang Yishui immediately spotted Shen Yuan and Li Zhi in the photo.

When she saw the beautiful girl looking at Shen Yuan against the flow of the crowd, a knowing, fond smile immediately appeared on Yang Yishui’s face.

As the older cousin who had watched Shen Yuan grow up, Yang Yishui felt like her little kid was finally growing up.

"This is so nice."

Yang Yishui looked at the photo, then said to Zhou Ruolan, "Send it to me, send it to me! I can definitely trade this with Shen Yuan for a week’s worth of milk tea!"

Zhou Ruolan nodded and sent the photo to Yang Yishui.

Soon, Shen Yuan, who was eating noodles in a noodle shop, received the photo from his Eldest Female Cousin.

’A woman of her word. I like that in a teacher!’

As he thought this, Shen Yuan opened WeChat, only to discover Yang Yishui had sent a different photo.

"What the hell?"

"What’s wrong?" Hearing Shen Yuan, Li Zhi looked up curiously.

They were sitting face-to-face. Shen Yuan placed his phone in the middle of the table. "My cousin sent another photo."

With that, Shen Yuan opened the photo.

They both found themselves in the picture at almost the exact same moment.

Shen Yuan’s fingertip hovered over the phone screen, trembling slightly.

He suddenly remembered the scent of damp grass floating in the air after the rain that day. When the girl’s gaze had fallen on him, it felt like the tickle of a butterfly’s fluttering wings.

Li Zhi’s motion of biting her straw froze.

In the photo, her own eyes as she looked at Shen Yuan were like amber soaked in honey. It was a gaze she had never seen in a mirror.

As her eyes swept over Shen Yuan’s golden-edged profile in the photo, Li Zhi felt the sip of soda in her mouth suddenly pack an extra punch.

"So this is the face you make when you’re sneaking glances at me."

A faint, teasing smile played on Shen Yuan’s lips as he looked at the screen. He tapped it lightly with his knuckle, but the seemingly casual action couldn’t hide the slight tremor in his voice.

Li Zhi suddenly snatched the phone. "Don’t flatter yourself! You were just blocking my light."

"Hey, come on, the light was coming from the other side. *You* were blocking *my* light," Shen Yuan explained.

The moment Shen Yuan finished speaking, a blush crept up the girl’s face.

"I... The sun was too bright, okay!"

Li Zhi’s voice grew quieter and quieter until it was almost inaudible. The beautiful girl puffed up her cheeks and ultimately chose to bury her head in the sand.

Shen Yuan watched Li Zhi, who was now looking down and eating her noodles, and let out a soft chuckle.

"But honestly, it’s a really good picture."

Li Zhi clearly heard him and ducked her head even lower.

Shen Yuan saw the tips of Li Zhi’s ears turn red and took the phone back.

"It’s just a photo, what’s there to be embarrassed about? I’ll just pretend the sun was in your eyes."

The moment Shen Yuan finished speaking, he heard Li Zhi’s voice at his ear.

"Send me the photo."

"Hm?" Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi in surprise.

"I’m not saying it again!" Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan.

"Oh, but..." Shen Yuan deliberately dragged out his words.

As expected, Li Zhi didn’t have the patience to listen to him. "But what?" she urged.

Shen Yuan smiled. "I have two photos here. Which one do you want?"

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s eyes widened.

"There’s another one?"

Shen Yuan nodded. "The one my cousin just took. I don’t know where she got this one."

With that, Shen Yuan showed Li Zhi the photo his Eldest Female Cousin had taken.

Looking at their synchronized pose, the beautiful girl pursed her lips.

"Send me both."

Li Zhi had calmed down a bit by now and came up with an excuse for herself. "I’ll just treat it as a memento from our senior year."

"Hehe, I guess I’m pretty lucky then."

Li Zhi rolled her eyes at Shen Yuan. "I’m kind of full."

"Then wait for me. I need a little more time to eat."

As he spoke, Shen Yuan picked up his phone with one hand to admire their photos, while his other hand used chopsticks to stir the broth in his now-empty bowl a couple of times.

However, under the beautiful girl’s embarrassed and angry gaze, Shen Yuan finally put down his chopsticks.

’I can’t keep this up. Any more of this, and Li Bao will probably deck me.’
