I'm in high school, is my dating system working correctly?

What I mean is, I'm working my butt off to win awards for us!

What kind of nonsense is going on in your head?

"...Are you serious?"

Zhou Qianyun watched as Lu Yu finished writing and then returned the pen to him.

"Otherwise, believe first, then believe."

Lu Yu was confident.

"Forget it, it all comes down to luck anyway, there's no way it's that easy to guess right."

Zhou Qianyun sighed.

However, numbers like 520, which have special meanings, do have a higher probability of being selected than other numbers; you might just win!

Everyone else outwardly believes but inwardly doubts, and you're just playing with the contrast, aren't you?

As the lottery draw was about to take place, many guests gathered around. Taking advantage of the fact that [Listening to Whispers] hadn't expired yet, Lu Yu scouted out the enemy's situation.

[The first two times it was over 900 and a dozen, I feel like this host isn't playing by the rules, maybe it'll go straight to 1000, that's you!]

It's too difficult to guess the exact number. I have three tickets, so I'll just divide them equally: 333, 666, and 999. Let's try our luck!

[Choose one of the 500; if you win, you've made a profit; if you don't, oh well.]

[The 300 yuan supermarket gift card isn't the main point; that limited edition one is hard to find normally, and it could probably be resold for a lot of money!]

After listening to everyone, there were about twenty people participating in this round, and none of them chose 520. The closest one was the guy with the pendulum-shaped pendulum at 500.

They might think these numbers are too simple and too easy to come up with, so they overlooked them.

"Daddy, can we take the baby raccoon home?"

Nearby, a little girl tugged at her father's hand and asked a question that was hard to understand. Her eyes were fixed on the pink fox, and she looked on expectantly.

"No problem, this is the number Jiajia chose."

Lu Yu glanced at it.

6.

Our Jiajia probably counted on her fingers for a long time before she reached this number.

Regret is a constant throughout life; that's just life.

Although I cannot protect children's dreams, I can take them away.

"The results of our final round of guessing will be revealed soon. Before that, let me once again introduce today's prize sponsors..."

Despite her abstract inner thoughts, the host was very skilled, delivering a rapid-fire introduction of the sponsors.

If you don't guess correctly, you can go upstairs to buy the prize, as if to remind everyone.

Good marketing tactics.

"Now, we will reveal the results of today's final round of the prize-winning quiz..."

The background music's drumbeats quickened, building tension. Since the event was being held in the lobby on the first floor, many customers who had finished eating and shopping on the second and third floors were also leaning against the railings, peering out to see what was happening.

Only the children got excited; the adults didn't seem to care much, focusing on participation.

Oh, and there's Zhou Qianyun too, she was quite nervous, staring intently at the slip of paper in the host's hand.

He's so confident; it would be really embarrassing if he didn't win. Let me give him a way out.

Looking at the confident look on the boy beside her, Zhou Qianyun calmed down.

"It doesn't matter, I didn't really want it that much anyway."

"Don't worry, we'll definitely take it down."

Lu Yu said it's okay, I will prove that I am the one who guessed the best in the world.

It is our inescapable duty to defend the honor of Jiangcheng Middle School.

"..."

Looking at the confident Lu Yu, Zhou Qianyun grew increasingly uneasy.

[Fine, if it really doesn't work out, I'll just find someone to buy me one later; consider it a gift from him.]

You're a really nice person.

"You'd better figure out where to put this pink fox in the house, preferably somewhere conspicuous, because I'll be checking it next time I visit."

Kuang Xiaoyu has appeared! Kuang Xiaoyu is still alive! Kuang Xiaoyu is still dealing damage!

"...Okay, okay, I believe you."

Zhou Qianyun sighed and looked towards the stage.

The results are about to be revealed... Hmm, will I win? I'm getting a little excited...

next moment.

The host flips over the card to reveal the answer.

"Ta-da! The answer is 520. I hope everyone can say 'I love you' to their family and friends."

His voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the entire first floor.

A gasp erupted from one side of the crowd. The girl next to the guy with the swaying feet excitedly shook his arm, shouting, "Five hundred! Five hundred! We're five hundred, the closest number!"

It was as if golden rain was falling on the scene.

The children looked at the boy with envy, while the boy himself looked completely bewildered.

[I just randomly picked a number and I won?]

The girl next to him was chattering excitedly, trying to pull him onto the stage.

But a hand holding a card was raised.

The numbers above are exactly the same.

It's exactly 520.

In an instant.

Apart from the crying and fussing children, the scene became much quieter.

"I guessed right."

Lu Yu raised his hand, feigning composure.

Sorry, this farce should end now.

"Really, really hit?"

Zhou Qianyun stared wide-eyed at Lu Yu.

【Really, really hit? 】

It's rare that their thoughts and words have reached a consensus.

"I told you, you can always trust me. When have I ever lied to you?"

Lu Yu smiled slightly.

Regarding your reputation score, Brother Yu Zi will get 100 points this time.

Zhou Qianyun stared blankly at the card with 520 written on it in Lu Yu's hand.

Indeed, it's quite normal to randomly select one number from a thousand and it fall around five hundred.

Furthermore, there were only about twenty participants in total. If you exclude the children who randomly selected, the correct guessing rate was actually close to one in ten.

Finally, it's also very reasonable that the number 520, which carries special meaning, was chosen.

But......

"You guessed right!!!"

Zhou Qianyun repeated it to herself.

Just like when I was a child...

Her thoughts were interrupted by the host's voice.

"Wow, I can't believe this guest guessed the number perfectly, and he's a high school student! Please come up on stage, we'll do a quick interview."

There's an acceptance speech segment? I hadn't heard of that before.

Lu Yu instantly became the most dazzling guy in the lobby on the first floor.

"You, you go up there. If you dare say anything out of line, I'll kill you on the spot!"

Zhou Qianyun nudged his arm.

Hmm, if the host asked him if we were a couple, what would his answer be?

Haha, what host is so gossipy?

He walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

"Excuse me, are you here at our mall with your girlfriend?"

Go to hell, you gossipmonger!

[I saw it a long time ago. Damn it, high school students aren't studying properly, they're just dating and shopping. I'm a miserable single guy working like a dog and I still have to eat their dog food!]

This host, don't be all smiles on the outside while cursing on the inside.

Upon hearing this, many people turned to look at Zhou Qianyun.

The two of them were wearing bright, shiny Jiangcheng Middle School uniform short-sleeved shirts.

[Oh no, what do I do? I don't want to get caught dating by Lao Cai! Lu Yu, you're dead if you dare say anything like that!]

But if you dare pretend you don't know me or try to distance yourself from me, you're dead meat!

Zhou Qianyun gripped the hem of her clothes with a slightly conflicted expression.

Miss, do you want me to admit it or not?

Lu Yu didn't care. No matter what others thought, he and Zhou Qianyun knew each other inside and out. They had even nibbled on each other's toes when they were kids. This was nothing.

But Zhou Qianyun's concerns are also true.

So he took the microphone and answered loudly.

"I participated in the guessing game so that she could win the prize."

Amidst the clamor and cheers from below the stage, Zhou Qianyun's inner voice remained utterly silent.

Lu Yu then spoke.

"Parents everywhere love their children dearly; who wouldn't want to buy their daughter a cute and pretty pink fox plush toy?"

The mall was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.

【...Lu! Yu! I'm going to kill you later!!!】

Zhou Qianyun, sitting in the audience, gritted her teeth.

"Can I accept the prize now? We still need to do our homework together later."

Lu Yu spoke up before the host, who was eager to stir up trouble, could say anything.

Sigh, I was hoping they would say "I love you" in public, but it's a pity.

What a waste of your head!

"Alright, alright, this student can go and collect their prize now: a 300 RMB shopping card from our boutique supermarket on the basement floor, and a plush toy from the Fairy Tale Toys on the fourth floor!"

The host didn't forget to type "GG".

After stepping off the stage, Lu Yu received the prize.

You have successfully claimed your reward. Keep up the good work and embrace a wonderful life!

Three hundred yuan has been credited to my account.

However, the effect of [Listening to Whispers] would not end for another two minutes, so he could listen to Zhou Qianyun's stubborn inner thoughts one last time.

"Give."

Lu Yu stuffed the large pink fox in the package into Zhou Qianyun's arms, surrounded by envious glances from the children.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who the hell is your daughter?"

Despite her grumbling, Zhou Qianyun obediently took the doll.

"My sister said, 'Scroll up, where did I name names?'"

Lu Yu said flippantly.

Hmm, it seems so?

Zhou Qianyun recalled for a moment and realized that Lu Yu had once again taken advantage of her verbally.

"Hmph, you think you're so great just because you're good at Chinese? All you do is talk a big game."

"This is called the art of language. You should learn from your brother Yu Zi's techniques."

"Then let me ask you, if the host had kept pressing me about our relationship, how would you have answered?"

She held the doll in her arms, glancing at Lu Yu as if casually.

I'll answer the same way you would.

Lu Yu was a master of repetitive talk, and with his many martial arts skills, this was a counterattack.

"Tsk tsk, chatting with you is really boring."

Zhou Qianyun looked away.

[The intense noise cleansing has improved your symptoms, temporarily ending the frenzy.]

The madman's knowledge has profoundly altered the folds of your cerebral cortex, enhancing your vision and allowing you to see more things you've never noticed before.

The final sentiment of the young girl emerged, accompanied by indifferent and cold words.

But no matter how you answer, my answer will always be, yes.
