I'm a senior in high school, and the system says I'm going on a blind date with my childho

Chapter 323 The admission notice has arrived

As the morning light shone through the gap in the curtains again, Li Zhi stirred slightly.

Although the embarrassing soreness in her waist and legs had not completely disappeared, it was much less severe than yesterday, and it no longer made it difficult for her to walk.

She carefully turned over and met Shen Yuan's gaze, which was now fully awake.

The boy reached out, his warm palm skillfully covering the soft flesh of her lower back, massaging it with just the right amount of pressure.

"Are you feeling better?" His voice was hoarse from the early morning.

"Much better," Li Zhi responded softly, feeling the warmth of his palm dispel the lingering soreness, and leaned against him in relaxation.

Shen Yuan looked at the girl's rosy cheeks.

He lowered his head, his thin lips close to her earlobe, his breath brushing against her sensitive skin, carrying a hint of heat:
“Li Bao…”

He deliberately dragged out the tone, his voice low, husky, and seductive.

"Since you're much better... then..."

Shen Yuan paused, his arms around her waist tightening slightly. He buried his handsome face in the crook of her neck and uttered the second half of his sentence clearly:

"...How about we do it again tonight?"

Li Zhi's body stiffened instantly.

The girl's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, and a surge of intense shame and anger, along with a trace of lingering panic, welled up in her watery eyes.

Memories of being repeatedly demanded by him, to the point where my back ached and my legs were so weak that I could barely walk, flooded back into my mind like a tidal wave.

The girl's cheeks flushed bright red, and even her small earlobes were stained with a vibrant blush.

"Shen Yuan!" Li Zhi suddenly sat up from his embrace, ignoring the lingering soreness in her lower back, and glared at him angrily.

"Don't even think about it!"

The girl's delicate nose twitched slightly with anger, and she stretched out a slender finger, forcefully poking Shen Yuan's firm chest.

"You naughty dog...you're such a troublemaker!"

Her voice was sweetly aggrieved: "My back is still sore!! You, you can't even think about it! You bad guy! I, I..."

Out of shame and indignation, Li Zhi simply opened her pearly teeth and bit Shen Yuan's shoulder in revenge.

"I'll bite you to death!"

"hiss--!"

Caught off guard, Shen Yuan gasped in pain.

"Okay...okay...I don't want to think about it anymore, it was my fault..."

Li Zhisong spoke, looking at the clear teeth mark on Shen Yuan's shoulder, then looking up to meet his eyes, his heart actually softened a little.

She turned her face away angrily and snorted loudly through her nose.

After a few seconds of silence, the girl's muffled voice drifted over, carrying a hint of reluctant compromise:

"Anyway, don't even think about touching me lately..."

After she finished speaking, she pursed her lips in annoyance, her ear tips turning bright red, as if regretting that she had given him hope again.

Looking at the person in his arms, Shen Yuan couldn't help but smile.
"hey-hey……"

The laughter was short and clear, and when it reached Li Zhi's ears, it made her already flushed cheeks burn even hotter. She couldn't help but turn around and glare at him again, which earned her an even tighter hug from Shen Yuan and a light kiss on the top of her head.

……

The driving school training grounds in the suburbs have returned to their former bustling state.

"squeak--"

The wheels made a slight sound as they rubbed against the ground. Li Zhi's training car came to a perfect stop within the parking space markings.

"Beautiful!" The coach next to him couldn't help but nod in approval.

Li Zhili smoothly shifted gears, pulled the handbrake, and unbuckled his seatbelt, his movements carrying a subtle lightness.

"it's your turn."

She glanced at Shen Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and raised her chin. Sunlight shone on her fair face, and her smile was bright.

Shen Yuan responded, then got out of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and smoothly started the car and turned the steering wheel. The car entered the parking space with the same precision and smoothness, which drew another satisfied evaluation from the instructor.

"laugh--!"

Just then, a training car next to it suddenly stopped and stalled again, just as expected.

"Damn it! This piece of junk!!" Zhou Shaojie's furious shout immediately rang out.

Shen Yuan glanced at the training car beside him, a familiar smug smile playing on his lips.

"Jay! What kind of crap did you pour out?" Shen Yuan called out, his tone teasingly familiar.

Zhou Shaojie, sweating profusely as he tried to restart the engine, immediately snapped back upon hearing this, "Shen Yuan, shut up!!"

Li Zhi smiled and added in a clear voice, "Ah Jie, don't rush, take your time, and build up your relationship with the car!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yang Ze, who was in Zhou Shaojie's car, pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a calm light, and spoke in a low voice.

"Yes. From observation, it's mainly a matter of the driver and the car getting used to each other; the car itself is fine."

He Zhiyu said quietly, "It's okay, Jie. You drive more, let's practice our motion sickness."

"You guys!!!" Zhou Shaojie's grief-stricken roar echoed across the training ground.

The few days of driving practice flew by amidst the shadows of camphor trees and the hum of engines.

Shen Yuan and Li Zhi still possessed the same level of comprehension and skill that Zhou Shaojie envied.

Every precise reverse parking and smooth parallel parking drew the instructor's approving gaze and Zhou Shaojie's tearful groans from the side.

Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu's precise witty remarks, He Zhiyu and Zhuo Peipei's barely suppressed laughter, and A-Jie's "Little Prince of Extinguishing the Engine" persistence together form the unchanging summer concerto on the training field.

That day, driving practice ended a little earlier than usual.

The midday sun, with its lazy warmth, stretched the shadows of Shen Yuan and Li Zhi side by side along the road in the residential area.

The shade of the trees still swayed gently, filtering out most of the summer heat, leaving only dappled sunlight dancing on the asphalt road.

The air was filled with the unique fresh scent of grass and trees after being evaporated by the sun, as well as a tranquility that belonged to an afternoon nap.

The two held hands tightly, walking slowly in perfect unison, enjoying the moment of leisure.

The focus during driving practice and the noise on the track seemed to be left behind, and the steps at this moment exuded a relaxed feeling of returning home.

"Today felt much smoother than before."

Li Zhi turned to Shen Yuan and said, "I feel like I could pass the driving test if I went to the test center now!"

"At least we won't have to listen to Ah Jie wailing about his broken-down car anymore," Shen Yuan said with emotion.

Thinking of the scene on the training field, Li Zhi couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with joy, her smile shining brightly in the sunlight.

"You might feel a little uneasy not hearing his wails?"

The girl's joking tone revealed a sense of familiarity with the daily hustle and bustle, along with a touch of nostalgia.

As we spoke, the apartment building came into view.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened at 19A.

Pushing open the door, a refreshing coolness mixed with the familiar scent of home greets you.

Shen Yuan pushed open the door.

They were greeted by those two figures swishing their tails as always.

"Meow~"

Nao Nao lightly jumped off the windowsill, taking elegant little steps, and took the initiative to approach Li Zhi's feet, affectionately rubbing her trouser leg with her fluffy head.

Li Zhi smiled and bent down, skillfully scratching Nao Nao's chin with his fingertips, eliciting a satisfied snoring sound.

She looked up at the windowsill and said softly to Sangeng, who was still sitting upright, "Sangeng, we're back."

Sangeng flicked the tip of its tail in response, lingered on them for a moment, and then focused its attention on the scenery outside the window.

The cool air from the air conditioner dispelled the last trace of summer heat, and the two of them sat wearily on the edge of the bed.

Li Zhi leaned back onto the soft pillow, let out a long sigh, and closed her eyes to enjoy the moment of relaxation.

Shen Yuan leaned against the headboard and gently ran his hand through her loose hair.

The sunlight outside the window was just right, streaming warmly through the glass. The room was quiet, with only Naonao's soft snoring and the faint chirping of cicadas outside.

Just then, a crisp cell phone ring broke the silence; it was Li Zhi's phone.

Li Zhi's eyelids twitched, and she picked up her phone.

"Hello?" She answered the phone with a hint of languor as she relaxed.

"Hello, is this Li Zhi?" A male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, I am."

"This is from the post office. Are you home right now? Your university acceptance letter has arrived, and you need to come and sign for it in person. Please bring your ID card!"

Li Zhi's eyes snapped open instantly, her previous languor vanishing, replaced by a glimmer of light. "Oh! Okay, okay! I'm home!" She immediately sat up, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement.

"I'm coming down right now! Is it at the east gate of the residential area?"

"Yes!"

Li Zhi hung up the phone and grabbed Shen Yuan's arm: "Shen Yuan! Shen Yuan! The admission notice has arrived! It's from Zhejiang University! It's at the post station!"

Seeing her so excited, Shen Yuan's eyes filled with amusement, and he was about to tease her a bit—

His own phone rang immediately afterward.

Shen Yuan looked down and saw that it was another unfamiliar local number.

He raised an eyebrow at Li Zhi, signaling her to be quiet, then answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Hello, is this Shen Yuan?" A similar male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I am."

"Hello, this is from the post office. Are you home right now? Your acceptance letter has arrived and you need to come and sign for it in person."

The smile on Shen Yuan's lips grew wider and wider. Before the other person could finish speaking, he replied with a smile, "I know, I'll come down and get it right away. Bring your ID card, right?"

"Yes."

"Okay, thank you."

The phone hangs up.

The room fell silent for a second, then was filled with even greater joy.

Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi, who was also holding a phone, and the smiles on their faces were as bright as if they were copied and pasted.

"Let's go?" Shen Yuanchao extended his hand to Li Zhi, his voice brimming with undisguised confidence.

"Go and pick up our acceptance letters."

"Mmm!" Li Zhi nodded vigorously and placed her hand in his warm palm.

The two smiled at each other, all their fatigue dispelled by the acceptance letters they were about to receive.

They walked hand in hand, their steps light, toward the door, ready to receive the letter that symbolized a new beginning.

After quickly retrieving their ID cards, Li Zhi and Shen Yuan took the elevator downstairs.

The smooth mirror reflected the two people's tightly clasped hands and their identical excited smiles.

The elevator descended smoothly.

Li Zhi couldn't help but shake Shen Yuan's arm: "We're finally here!"

"Mmm," Shen Yuan responded, looking down at her with eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

The elevator doors opened on the first floor.

The intense afternoon sunlight instantly flooded the entrance hall, bringing a warm and cozy atmosphere.

The neighborhood is shaded by green trees, and the cicadas are still chirping loudly.

Without pausing, the two held hands and quickly walked through the cool foyer, then pushed open the glass door of the apartment building.

The heat wave, carrying the scent of summer, swept over us, but at this moment, this heat seemed to become a catalyst for joy.

At the east gate of the residential area, Shen Yuan and Li Zhi soon spotted the postman.

A green postal electric tricycle was parked under the shade of a tree.

A postal worker in uniform was standing next to the vehicle, holding two eye-catching red express bags with the university's logo and lettering printed in gold.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the camphor tree leaves, casting dappled patterns on the asphalt road and landing on the two express delivery bags that carried countless hopes.

The postman smiled as he looked at the young couple rushing over: "Are you Li Zhi and Shen Yuan?"

"It's me! It's me!"

Li Zhi took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it over, and Shen Yuan handed over his own ID card in the same way.

His gaze was fixed on the red express bag in the postman's hand, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

The postal worker took the two ID cards, carefully checked the photos and names, and worked quickly and professionally.

“Li Zhi… um.”

He picked up one of the admission notices and handed it to Li Zhi.

The file folder was heavy, as if it carried a thousand pounds of weight.

“Shen Yuan…yes, that’s right.”

Another equally sturdy express delivery bag was handed to Shen Yuan.

When their fingertips touched the stiff paper bag, Li Zhi and Shen Yuan's heartbeats seemed to reach their peak at that moment.

The two of them carefully accepted their respective acceptance letters.

Holding the red delivery bag in my hand, I felt an indescribable sense of reality.

The golden school badge and the words "Admission Notice" gleamed brightly in the sunlight, clearly visible to the eye.

This marked the perfect end to their high school career and opened the door to the university on the banks of the Qiantang River.

Li Zhi looked down at the package in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, eventually curving into an incredibly bright and radiant smile, like the most brilliant sunshine at that moment.

Shen Yuan held the file bag, and his other hand naturally reached out to interlock his fingers with Li Zhi's once again.

"Thank you!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Li Zhiye nodded in thanks.

The postman smiled at the couple and said, "You're welcome! Congratulations! You have a bright future ahead of you!"

After saying goodbye to the postman, the two held hands and turned to walk quickly towards their apartment building.

Pushing open the door, the cool air instantly enveloped my body, but the inner heat only intensified.

"Quick! Open it and take a look!"

Li Zhi entered the room, eagerly picked up his file folder, his fingertips trembling slightly with excitement, and carefully tore it open along the seal.

Shen Yuan took a deep breath and picked up his share.

The two sat side by side on the bed, held their breath, and pulled out the official admission letter from inside.

Thick paper, elegant school emblem design, and incredibly clear printed text.

Computer Science and Technology!

Li Zhi read it out softly, looked up at Shen Yuan, her eyes almost overflowing with starlight.

"Yes!" Shen Yuan nodded heavily, his gaze also falling on the same major name on her admission notice.

Just as Li Zhi was immersed in joy, Shen Yuan turned his head and gazed at her intently.

Shen Yuan put down the admission notice in his hand, and without warning, leaned over and opened his arms to hug Li Zhi tightly.

Li Zhi was caught in his sudden embrace and held her breath slightly. The admission notice slipped from her hand and fell onto the blanket with a soft sound.

She could clearly feel the pounding of his heart in his chest, each beat striking her eardrums.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, his cool breath mingling with the scent of sunshine enveloping her.

The boy's deep voice, filled with barely suppressed satisfaction, rang clearly in her ears, like a feather brushing against her heart.

“Li Zhi… I did it.”

The girl in his arms relaxed slightly and turned her face to press against his warm neck.

She didn't say anything, but simply nodded gently in his arms.

"Ah."

Shen Yuan felt the soft, warm touch on her neck and her silent response, and tightened his arms around her waist.

He looked up, his gaze falling on her face, which was so close to his.

The girl's face was flushed with a captivating blush, and her eyes were veiled with a shy, watery light.

The tenderness in the boy's eyes was almost overflowing, and he rubbed his nose against hers affectionately.

The deep voice, carrying a hint of languid allure, asked clearly:

“That… Li Bao,”

He deliberately dragged out his words, his hot breath brushing against her sensitive lips, as if silently depicting the sweetness that was about to be fulfilled.

"I've worked so hard... is there any reward?"

Li Zhi looked into his eyes and saw the undisguised expectation and longing, which clearly reflected her own blushing face.

The joy of fulfilling a shared dream, the sense of security of being held tightly in his arms, and the unspoken, intense love between the two of them all transformed into the most fervent courage at this moment, dispelling the last trace of reserved hesitation.

She tilted her head back, her red lips slightly parted, and her clear voice trembled slightly, yet it struck Shen Yuan's heart with crystal clarity:

"Yes, bad dog."

The moment the words left his lips, the girl's slender arms wrapped around his neck, and she pressed her lips to his.
