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

Chapter 262: Chapter 163: He’s My Childhood Sweetheart, Sis! (Part 2)

The moment he finished speaking, the elevator doors rumbled open.

As Shen Yuan spoke, they both stepped into the elevator.

"If you don’t answer, I’ll just keep calling."

Li Zhi snorted. "Then I’ll just answer, toss my phone on the nightstand, and mute it. You can talk to my ceiling by yourself!"

The moment she finished, Li Zhi felt Shen Yuan’s hand tighten its grip slightly.

"I’d be fine with that, too."

Her knuckles unconsciously pressed against the warm, prominent veins on the back of his hand.

The beautiful girl turned and glared at Shen Yuan. "Don’t you try to act pitiful with me! Fucking idiot!"

Just as she spoke, the elevator arrived at 19A.

Li Zhi stepped out first, then turned to him and said sternly, "I’m telling you, don’t act pitiful in front of me. I don’t like it. Don’t be such a simp!"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Have you ever seen me act like a simp for you?"

Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan. "I think you’d much rather lick me in the literal sense. And my feet, at that!"

Shen Yuan’s eyes immediately widened. "How did you know?"

"Pfft! You damn pervert!"

Li Zhi quickly snatched her hand away from Shen Yuan’s, frantically wiping it on his clothes while muttering under her breath.

"That fucking idiot Shen Yuan... we’re just holding hands and his get all sweaty, making my hand dirty! I’m going to kill you for this later!"

"Hey, hey, hey! You dare say your own hands weren’t sweaty?"

"This young master is bursting with vitality! How could I be as feeble as you?"

Shen Yuan clapped his hands. "Well said! Then let’s pray for a heavy flow!"

The words had barely left his mouth when he got a kick to the shin.

Young Master Li snarled, "Go to hell! You just want me to be in pain, don’t you!"

"Of course not. The pain may be in your body, but the ache is in my heart."

"Get lost!"

"You got it."

Back home, Shen Yuan went through his usual routine of cuddling his two little cats.

The two little cats, their ears flattened back in their dad’s arms, had no idea they were about to be neutered.

Of course, it wasn’t like they could do anything about it even if they knew.

Shen Yuan wasn’t actually cringe enough to video call Li Zhi out of the blue.

A video call couldn’t compare to seeing her in person anyway.

Shen Yuan stared at the wall by his headboard. After a moment of contemplation, a bold idea took shape in his mind.

"San Geng, Naonao," he said to the cats, "what do you think? If your dad were to make a hole in this wall, you could run from my room to your mom’s room to play, couldn’t you?"

Shen Yuan rubbed his chin, feeling his idea was quite feasible.

Of course, Shen Yuan was also well aware of the primary obstacle to his plan.

Li Zhi would almost certainly not agree to it.

After all, who knew whether it would be the kittens crossing over, or some other kind of pest.

Shen Yuan considered himself above such creepy behavior, but whether Li Zhi would believe that was another matter entirely.

After a shower, Shen Yuan ground through a page of multiple-choice chemistry problems before getting ready for bed.

Lying in bed, Shen Yuan decided against video calling Li Zhi. Instead, he just sent a simple text wishing Naonao’s mom a good night.

Shen Yuan knew full well that, with her prickly-but-secretly-soft personality, Li Zhi would probably answer if he called.

But they’d likely start bickering within a few sentences.

For the sake of the beautiful girl’s well-being and overall health, Shen Yuan decided against the video call.

Oh, and for the health of the big dog plushie, too.

Not long after he sent the message, Shen Yuan’s phone lit up with a notification.

Li Zhi’s reply was the same as always.

"Good night, San Geng’s dad."

Seeing the beautiful girl’s reply, Shen Yuan texted back: ’Mwah, Li Bao.’

...

「The next morning」

Shen Yuan called Li Zhi at the same time as always.

Hearing the beautiful girl’s groggy voice on the other end, Shen Yuan said gently, "Li Bao, time to wake up."

"Fucking idiot Shen Yuan."

Their morning routine was still the same.

Today, Li Bao was back in her regular school uniform, her gentle demeanor from the day before completely gone.

But even if she had been, Shen Yuan wouldn’t have been able to see it.

Their desks were seven seats apart. No matter how gentle Li Bao was, that gentleness couldn’t traverse seven seats to land on Shen Yuan’s head.

Besides, Li Bao wasn’t exactly a gentle person to begin with.

It was already a great act of mercy when Painful Sacrifice wasn’t stressing out her classmates.

Morning self-study in Class 15 was, as always, a scene of bustling vitality and competitive spirit.

Since the schedule change, boarding students now ate before coming to class, so the day students were generally the first to arrive.

When Shen Yuan and Li Zhi got to the classroom, there were only two other people in Class 15, and it looked like they had only just gotten there themselves.

Shen Yuan dropped Li Zhi’s bag on her desk, then returned to his own seat.

Shen Yuan pulled the chemistry paper with the multiple-choice questions he’d done last night from his bag, and an idea suddenly struck him.

The boy’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled into a smirk.

He snatched up the paper and eagerly trotted over to Li Zhi’s desk.

"Li Bao, I can’t figure this problem out. Can you teach me?" Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi expectantly, clutching the test paper tightly.

Hearing his voice, Li Zhi glanced at the paper in his hand, then snatched up a test paper from her own desk and smacked him on the head with it.

"Finish the whole test yourself first, then you can come find me! Why are you whining about a few multiple-choice questions!"

Getting whacked by Li Bao didn’t discourage Shen Yuan in the slightest. In fact, a wide smile spread across his face.

That was exactly what Shen Yuan had wanted to hear from her.

With her permission, he could now approach her openly.

While he could always go over to her desk, Li Bao could always refuse to help him.

But with this, he had an official invitation.

"Hee hee, got it."

Shen Yuan turned and left, test paper in hand.
