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

Chapter 214: Chapter 146: Li Bao’s Wake-up Voice Sounds So Good

At the same time, the corners of Shen Yuan’s mouth turned up uncontrollably, forming a slightly bashful smile.

"Really?" His voice was laced with a hint of disbelief.

Li Zhi nodded and explained, "You’ve been pretty punctual about waking me up these past few days, so I figured I’d give you a little perk!"

Upon hearing Li Zhi’s reply, a happy smile finally bloomed on Shen Yuan’s face. His eyes sparkled with delight.

"Then it’s a deal! You have to wake me up at 5:10, too! A video call would be best, and it’d be even better if you’ve just woken up yourself..." Shen Yuan’s words came tumbling out, one after another, in a rapid-fire burst.

However, before he could finish, Li Zhi mercilessly shut him down.

"In your wildest dreams! The fact that I’m waking you up is generous enough! And you still have so many demands?!"

Li Zhi’s tone was chiding, but she wasn’t truly angry.

Seeing his chance, Shen Yuan quickly clasped his hands together, putting on a pitiful expression. "Just one!" he begged. "Just one request! Forget what I said before. Can I just make one tiny little request?"

"What is it?" Li Zhi eyed Shen Yuan warily.

When it came to Shen Yuan, Li Zhi’s operating principle was that a dog’s mouth can’t produce ivory—you couldn’t expect anything decent to come from him.

Sure enough, the moment she finished speaking, a bashful look appeared on Shen Yuan’s face.

"Um, when you wake me up, could you... call me something sweet?"

Seeing his tentative expression, Li Zhi instantly knew what the guy was up to.

Without a moment’s hesitation, the beautiful girl said, "Get lost!"

"You got it!"

With a nod, Shen Yuan scurried home.

In truth, Shen Yuan had expected Li Zhi’s rejection, but he’d wanted to ask anyway.

After all, what if Li Bao had said yes?

’If Li Bao calls me ’Brother’ when she wakes me up,’ Shen Yuan thought, ’I’ll definitely be able to perform way beyond my level on the monthly exam tomorrow!’

After returning home, Shen Yuan chose not to cram for the test.

The monthly exam was tomorrow; it would be better to let his brain relax a little.

He’d been wound so tight for so long; it was time to unwind a little.

Shen Yuan decided to go to bed early.

’Then again, it wasn’t that early.’

He didn’t get home from evening self-study until almost 10:00. By the time he washed up and relaxed a bit, it was 10:30.

Wasn’t that the perfect time to go to sleep?

Before closing his eyes, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but wonder how Li Zhi would wake him up tomorrow.

’The wake-up call is one thing, but the exam is what’s crucial! Score a 635 and get to taste a meal cooked by Li Zhi herself!’

’Then again, the Stupid System has been quiet lately.’

’Tsk, hurry up and give me a quest to boost my math ability!’

Shen Yuan felt like he had already fully absorbed the previous boost to his logical thinking ability.

After pondering for a while, Shen Yuan drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, in the room next door, Li Zhi set alarms for 5:09 and 5:10 to make sure she wasn’t still half-asleep when she called Shen Yuan.

The memory of Shen Yuan’s creepy grin when he’d "ambushed" her with that morning video call made Li Zhi’s blood boil.

’That idiot Shen Yuan... Just you wait until tomorrow!’

With that thought, Li Zhi put her phone down and drifted off to sleep.

「5:09 AM.」

When the alarm went off, an arm snaked out from under the covers.

After silencing the alarm, Li Zhi’s fingertips traced the edge of her phone unconsciously.

The glow from the screen made her eyelashes flutter, her pupils still clouded with a mixture of sleepiness and hesitation.

Calling Shen Yuan to wake him up... this was a first for Li Zhi.

But the moment she remembered how Shen Yuan acted when he called her, her hesitation gave way to a need to grumble about him.

’That idiot Shen Yuan is probably so excited when he gets to wake me up.’

At this thought, Li Zhi rolled over in bed, counting her breaths as she waited for the final minute.

When the 5:10 alarm blared, Li Zhi swiftly silenced it, opened WeChat, and placed a call to Shen Yuan.

But perhaps because she wasn’t fully awake yet, her hand slipped and she hit the video icon by mistake.

The moment the screen suddenly lit up for the video call, the beautiful girl was so panicked she almost threw her phone.

But before Li Zhi could hang up, Shen Yuan had already accepted the call.

Li Zhi’s finger was still hovering over the "End Call" button, but the screen already showed Shen Yuan’s drowsy face.

All she could see was a tuft of Shen Yuan’s bedhead wobbling gently as he sat up.

As their gazes met through the screen, Li Zhi saw Shen Yuan’s Adam’s apple bob noticeably.

Looking at the clearly flustered girl on his screen, Shen Yuan’s eyes filled with rich amusement.

Shen Yuan, however, didn’t say a word.

Seeing Shen Yuan’s smile on the screen, Li Zhi suddenly remembered the reason for her call.

"T-Time to wake up, Shen Yuan."

The moment the words tumbled out, Li Zhi was horrified to realize her own voice sounded like a honey-drenched marshmallow, so soft and sweet it practically melted over the line.

She frantically angled the camera upward, but even then, the corner of her eye could still see the amusement in Shen Yuan’s deepening.

They say the best way to grow to hate a song is to set it as your morning alarm.

The idea is to create a sense of physical aversion.

But Shen Yuan felt that if this were his wake-up alarm...

’He could listen to it forever! He’d never get tired of it!’

’How can Li Bao’s voice be so sweet!’

Ah!

’If Li Bao used this voice to call me ’darling’ just once,’ Shen Yuan thought, ’I’d probably drown in the sound of it today.’

At this thought, Shen Yuan cleared his throat.

"Li Bao, can you say that again? Your voice is so beautiful."

Hearing Shen Yuan’s words, Li Zhi’s face instantly flushed crimson.

"Say it again, my foot! Just get up already!"

The moment she finished speaking, Shen Yuan’s voice came through the phone again.

"Mmm~ Li Bao, even your scolding sounds beautiful."

"Go die, you pervert!"
