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

Chapter 216: Chapter 147: Li Zhi Chose to Raise the Bet

A moment later, Shen Yuan suddenly leaned close to Li Zhi’s ear and whispered, "I don’t dare."

He drew out the three words, his voice a flirtatious whisper. His usually bold eyebrows were now half-lowered, casting a cunning shadow over his eyes.

Shen Yuan returned to his seat and gave Li Zhi a cheeky grin. "635, I’ll definitely beat you. 650 is too risky, and I don’t make bets I’m not sure I can win. Looks like you’re definitely cooking me that meal!"

The moment his voice fell, the beautiful girl’s brows furrowed, and she pressed her lips together tightly.

The reason Li Zhi had suggested a bet of 650 was because she knew one thing for certain.

Shen Yuan could absolutely score 635 on this monthly exam!

As far as that bet went, she was guaranteed to lose!

That was why Li Zhi had tried to bait Shen Yuan into a bigger bet.

As long as Shen Yuan didn’t get 650, she would win everything!

But Shen Yuan’s refusal to take the bet completely threw her for a loop.

"Wait, you!"

The beautiful girl stared at Shen Yuan in disbelief, demanding, "How can you not take the bet?"

"A bet only counts if both sides agree, right? I don’t agree to the 650-point bet, so it doesn’t count!"

Shen Yuan chuckled, shaking his head smugly in front of Li Zhi.

"Hehe, I’d better think hard about what dish I should have you make. But don’t worry, it won’t be anything too complicated."

Shen Yuan’s voice held a hint of amusement, as if he were deliberately teasing Li Zhi.

Hearing this, Li Zhi’s anger flared. She glared fiercely at Shen Yuan and threatened, "No matter what dish you have me make, I’ll put poison in it and kill you!"

Faced with Li Zhi’s threat, Shen Yuan remained remarkably calm.

Not only was he not the least bit scared, he even grinned cheekily and replied, "I’d eat it anyway. I don’t care if I die from the poison!"

Li Zhi took a deep breath. ’If I hold this in, I’m going to give myself an ulcer!’

The beautiful girl stomped her foot hard, grabbed Shen Yuan by the collar, and said fiercely, "I don’t care! You have to bet with me!"

Her almond-shaped eyes were wide as she glared at him, the corners of her eyes flushed red with urgency.

As she spoke, her long lashes trembled, but her eyes shone with a stubborn light.

The next second, Li Zhi seemed to realize they were a little too close. A blush instantly bloomed on her cheeks, but she kept her chin up and insisted stubbornly:

"Anyway, I’m the one who calls the shots on this bet! You have to take it, even if you don’t want to!"

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, who was just two fists’ distance away, and said with a smile, "So bossy?"

"That’s right!"

Li Zhi flung Shen Yuan away. "You’re not allowed to refuse! The bet is on, and that’s final!"

Shen Yuan tilted his head and said to Li Zhi, "Then you at least have to tell me the terms of the bet."

"If you score 650, I’ll agree to one request from you, as long as it’s not too outrageous. But if you don’t score that high, then both bets are off!"

After hearing Li Zhi’s terms, Shen Yuan nodded. "Fine. It’s just one meal. Worst case, I just won’t eat it. But if you’re the one who ends up losing..."

Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a dangerous look in them. "You’d better be prepared."

"A bet’s a bet!" Li Zhi said, jutting her chin out.

The classroom wasn’t empty that morning, but few people paid attention to what was happening in their corner of the room.

The monthly exam was imminent, and everyone was cramming.

The first subject in the morning was still Chinese class.

At 8:15, as soon as the bell rang, everyone in Class 15 stood up.

After putting their books and materials in a pre-cleared area, Shen Yuan got ready to head to the exam hall.

Shen Yuan’s exam hall this time was in the third-year building, Room 307. It was just downstairs, a very convenient walk.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, had been "exiled" to the second-year building. Luckily, she was "exiled" along with her best friend, He Zhiyu.

"Zhizhi, you don’t seem nervous at all."

"It’s just a monthly exam. What’s there to be nervous about?"

Just as Li Zhi finished speaking, her gaze was suddenly drawn to a familiar face.

Looking closer, she saw it was Tong Churou. She was probably in the same exam hall.

From the looks of it, Tong Churou had come to the exam hall alone.

When their eyes met, a perfectly measured smile quickly appeared on Tong Churou’s face—not overly warm, but not cold either.

Seeing this, Li Zhi immediately turned back to continue chatting with He Zhiyu beside her.

Tong Churou saw Li Zhi’s reaction but didn’t think anything of it.

’First impressions are often crucial.’

’Her first impression of Li Zhi was probably from that day in the mall, when Li Zhi had bluntly said she couldn’t even score a 620.’

’So, naturally, she assumed Li Zhi wasn’t an easy person to get along with.’

At that thought, Tong Churou’s mind drifted to Shen Yuan.

In the past month, Tong Churou had barely spoken to Shen Yuan.

Even when they did see each other, Shen Yuan would avoid her like the plague.

Thinking of this, Tong Churou bit her lip, then walked over to Li Zhi.

"Hello."

Li Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little surprised when she heard Tong Churou’s voice beside her.

After all, she and Tong Churou weren’t very close, so she hadn’t expected Tong Churou to approach and talk to her.

When Li Zhi turned to look at Tong Churou, her brow was slightly furrowed.
