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

Chapter 264: Chapter 164: Given Shen Yuan is an idiot, prove that Li Zhi likes Shen Yuan

With Shen Yuan’s permission, Zhuo Peipei pulled the little author over the moment He Zhiyu arrived in the classroom.

"Zhiyu, Zhiyu, hurry over! I have something important to tell you!" Zhuo Peipei’s voice was tinged with excitement and mystery. She was filled with anticipation for He Zhiyu’s reaction to the photo.

Zhuo Peipei’s sudden move piqued He Zhiyu’s curiosity. Seeing her friend’s urgency, she immediately followed Zhuo Peipei to her seat.

Zhuo Peipei carefully glanced around, and only after confirming Li Zhi hadn’t noticed them did she pull her phone out of her pocket.

After opening her photo album, she handed the phone to He Zhiyu, a smug smile on her face.

The moment He Zhiyu saw the photo, her eyes widened.

How should I put this?

Shen Yuan watched as two prairie dogs silently screamed at each other.

It was quite amusing.

"Ahem, show some respect. I’m still here, you know."

Shen Yuan looked at the two of them with an exasperated expression.

Hearing this, Zhuo Peipei and He Zhiyu immediately composed themselves.

The club president apologized profusely, "Sorry, sorry! We just couldn’t help ourselves."

Shen Yuan shook his head helplessly, rolled his eyes at Zhuo Peipei, then pointed behind her. "Li Zhi is looking this way," he warned. "You’re on your own."

Hearing this, Zhuo Peipei’s expression instantly tensed. She whipped her head around and, sure enough, saw Li Zhi smiling at her.

Zhuo Peipei instinctively looked toward He Zhiyu.

Her gaze landed on He Zhiyu, drawn to her like a magnet.

The little author blinked, a look of confusion on her face, seemingly not yet understanding the meaning behind Zhuo Peipei’s actions.

Just then, Zhuo Peipei suddenly gripped He Zhiyu’s hand tightly and said solemnly, "Zhiyu, you’re the only one who can handle Li Bao now!"

Her words struck He Zhiyu like a clap of thunder, leaving her completely stunned.

"Me...? How am I supposed to handle her?" He Zhiyu’s voice trembled, having no idea how to deal with this situation.

Zhuo Peipei seemed to have anticipated this reaction and quickly reassured her, "Don’t worry, it’s actually very simple. You just have to show her this photo."

As she spoke, she pointed to Shen Yuan, who was standing nearby.

Seeing this, Shen Yuan’s heart tightened. He was suddenly struck by a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Zhuo Peipei continued, "Anyway... I don’t think Li Bao will kill you over a photo like this."

"If anyone’s going to die, it’ll be him first."

Shen Yuan’s delicate frame trembled. ’Damn, she’s got a point!’

"Hey!"

Before Shen Yuan could say a word, He Zhiyu had already dashed over to Li Zhi’s side.

Leaving Shen Yuan frozen in place, striking a classic, desperate "don’t go" pose.

Thanks to his Bright Eyes Skill, even from across the entire classroom, Shen Yuan could clearly see a blush spread across the skin beneath Li Bao’s hair at a visible rate.

’She must be shy.’

’Tsk, Li Bao is so cute. She gets shy so easily.’

He Zhiyu looked at the blushing beauty before her and pursed her lips.

There’s a saying: a girl’s blush is more potent than any love confession.

But He Zhiyu felt that Li Zhi must be cursing up a storm in her head right now, with every curse involving Shen Yuan.

’This must be because Shen Yuan already holds a special place in Li Zhi’s heart.’

’For instance, Shen Yuan = moron.’

A proof problem quickly formed in the little author’s mind.

’Given: In Li Zhi’s heart, Shen Yuan is a moron. Prove: Li Zhi likes Shen Yuan.’

’Solution: Because "hitting is affection, and scolding is love."’

’Therefore, Shen Yuan being a moron is equivalent to Shen Yuan being her beloved.’

’Because Li Zhi thinks in her heart that Shen Yuan is a moron.’

’Therefore, Li Zhi thinks in her heart that Shen Yuan is her beloved.’

’Therefore, Li Zhi likes Shen Yuan.’

He Zhiyu felt this ship was just too perfect.

’This is just how we shippers are; we see sweetness in everything.’

Li Zhi was still fuming, but then she saw her best friend’s face light up with an expression that screamed, ’Ahhh—my ship is sailing!’ She grew even more furious.

"He Zhiyu!"

Hearing her name, He Zhiyu immediately looked up, only to see a cold warning in the beautiful girl’s eyes.

He Zhiyu immediately started trembling in fear.

Seeing her best friend cowering, Li Zhi temporarily lost the will to go make trouble for Shen Yuan.

But just because she wasn’t going to make trouble didn’t mean she wouldn’t issue a warning.

Li Zhi suddenly turned her head, her long, dark hair creating an inky ripple over her shoulder.

The beautiful girl’s gaze crossed seven rows of desks, precisely locking onto Shen Yuan at the other end of the classroom.

Gentleness might not be able to cross seven rows of desks, but Li Zhi’s warning definitely could.

The beautiful girl swept her right arm up in a sharp arc. Her slender, fair index and middle fingers stiffened, pointed at her own eyes, and then her arm swiveled toward Shen Yuan, her fingertips stabbing through the air—across the seven rows—aimed directly at his eyes.

The moment her fingers changed direction, Shen Yuan could have sworn he saw the beautiful girl’s pupils contract almost imperceptibly, like a falcon gliding over a snowy plain, about to dive.

The sunlight glinting on her knuckles seemed to form a blade that cut through the chalk dust floating in the noisy classroom, piercing straight into his suddenly widened pupils.

The faint blush on the tips of the girl’s ears was carefully hidden by her hair, but the tense curve of her jawline betrayed a dangerous warning, like a blade held to the throat.

Shen Yuan shrank back, signaling that he wouldn’t dare do it again.
