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

She didn't know where Lu Yu was taking her.

But for Zhou Qianyun, it didn't matter where Lu Yu took her.

Once when I was a child, Lu Yu mysteriously asked Zhou Qianyun to follow him. He then led her to an abandoned factory area behind the machine tool factory, where they found an abandoned chimney lying on the ground. He said it was the perfect hiding place for hide-and-seek.

I'll never understand Lu Yu's thought process.

But this time, she realized it very quickly.

Because Lu Yu led her into the supermarket on the basement level.

"Wow, this supermarket isn't cheap. Are they really not trying to rip off poor people?"

While complaining, Lu Yu added the ridiculously expensive small car to his shopping cart.

Number of corpses successfully recovered: 1

Sure enough, when it comes to corpses, the fresh produce market is filled with them.

Pig, cow, chicken... Hmm, this big supermarket shouldn't have any rat carcasses, right?

"Do you have all the necessary seasonings, scallions, ginger, and garlic for cooking?"

He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Qianyun, who was obediently following behind.

The hands that were clasped together were released when they entered the supermarket, and the girl nodded blankly.

"Besides sweet and sour pork ribs, I'll also make meatball and loofah soup, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Since you don't eat spinach, how about broccoli, celery, or lotus root?"

Lu Yu casually said, and then took out another box of finely chopped minced pork.

Number of corpses successfully recovered: 2

"I want to eat stir-fried lotus root slices..."

Zhou Qianyun answered softly.

"I knew you liked lotus root; eating lotus root makes you look ugly."

Lu Yu made a sarcastic remark, having prepared himself for Zhou Qianyun's retort, but then heard no response.

Looking back, Zhou Qianyun was just standing silently by the shopping cart, holding the small ribs that Lu Yu had just put in her hand, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

"Are you going to cook?"

Noticing Lu Yu's gaze, she hurriedly put the small bag back into the shopping cart.

"Anyway, my mom is working the night shift today, and she'll have to cook for herself when she gets home, so why don't we just use your kitchen?"

Lu Yu pushed the cart forward and picked up a box of brown sugar.

"No need for that."

Zhou Qianyun reached out and pressed Lu Yu down.

Her fingers touched the back of Lu Yu's hand; it was soft and cool.

"I feel dizzy after drinking it."

She didn't explain further.

"Okay."

Lu Yu put the brown sugar back; he didn't understand what taboos girls had at this time.

The number of corpses collected quickly reached 10; as for processing them, that should be left to the kitchen.

"Cucumber-flavored potato chips?"

Passing by the snack section, Lu Yu picked up a bag of potato chips.

Zhou Qianyun nodded and reached out to take another bag of potato chips.

Barbecue flavor.

"You remember my tastes so clearly, you must have a crush on me, right?"

Lu Yu joked.

Zhou Qianyun snorted and ignored him.

I bought some other random things and pushed the cart to the cashier.

"I'll do it. I just won a supermarket gift card, might as well use it."

Lu Yu remembered that Grandpa Zhou had given him a thousand yuan before, saying he would take Zhou Qianyun out for food and drinks. Although it could be considered a system reward, he still remembered what the old man had said.

I spent a little over 100 out of 300 yuan.

He asked Zhou Qianyun to carry the two pottery pieces, while he carried the rest of the items.

When they arrived at Zhou Qianyun's house, it was quiet and no one was home.

"You think I can just use your kitchen whenever I want?"

Lu Yu placed the shopping bags on the kitchen counter. Hearing no response, he peeked in and saw that Zhou Qianyun had already returned to her room and closed the door.

My period seems to be coming on strong this month.

In the past, Zhou Qianyun would just be a little irritable during her period, but this time it seems she's also experiencing some menstrual discomfort.

Lu Yu washed a tomato and cut it in half with a knife.

Number of bodies successfully processed: 1

It was as if I could hear the tomato screaming in agony.

"Don't be afraid, you won't feel pain anymore once you die."

Lu Yu reassured him, then picked up the half and started eating it.

It has a sweet and sour taste and a crisp texture.

It seems that, in the system's view, processing food ingredients is indeed equivalent to processing corpses.

Eyebrow Brothers.

Before dinner time, Lu Yu tidied up the kitchen and returned to the living room. Seeing that Zhou Qianyun's bedroom door was closed, he went into the study.

Zhou Qianyun's study is very large, with a tea tray, chess table, desk and recliner. There is a computer on the mahogany desk, and the bookshelves on one wall are densely packed with books.

These weren't things her father bought to appear cultured and to save face; they were things that Grandpa Zhou had accumulated over the years.

These books were already there when we lived in the machine tool factory community. When he was a child, Lu Yu often read books at Zhou Qianyun's house.

He still remembers reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms in second grade, but he didn't know all the characters, so he had to look them up in the dictionary as he read.

Seeing Guan Yu die made her incredibly sad, and then seeing Zhuge Liang die made her completely break down, bursting into tears and snot, leaving Xiao Zhou Qianyun, who was standing next to her, at a loss and crying along with her.

Later, when studying "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops," Lu Yu almost couldn't hold back his tears as he read the text aloud, recalling all the past events.

When Lu Yu was in junior high school, he came across "Love in the Time of Cholera". At that time, he read it purely as a story about a young prince, which opened up a whole new world for him.

For a long time, whenever he saw someone say they liked reading Márquez's books, he was astonished that the person was so bold as to say to his face that they liked reading Márquez's books.

Influenced by Grandpa Zhou, Lu Yu was good at Chinese from a young age and had beautiful handwriting. Unfortunately, in this internet age, apart from students, people rarely touch a pen and have become rusty at writing their own names.

Lu Yu randomly picked up a book, sat down on the recliner, and began to read it in the sunlight.

Perhaps he ate too much at noon, perhaps he had used up too much energy playing rhythm games, or perhaps this famous book about the author's hospital life was too difficult and obscure. Lu Yu got sleepy after reading for more than half an hour, so he simply put down the book and closed his eyes to rest.

In the quiet afternoon, time flows gently.

After a while, Zhou Qianyun's bedroom door opened, and she came out rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Just now, a wave of drowsiness and dull pain surged up at the same time. She didn't care about Lu Yu, took an ibuprofen and lay down. At that time, she was so drowsy that she probably would have agreed to sleep with Lu Yu if he said he wanted to.

Now get up and go to the toilet.

The living room was quiet. Just as Zhou Qianyun was about to call out to Lu Yu, she saw the young man holding a book in his arms, fast asleep in a recliner.

The bright sunlight shone on him, making his faded T-shirt almost dazzling.

The boy's face was hidden in shadow, his features sharp and angular, with a scholarly air about him; his eyelashes were long, and he was handsome and refined.

For some reason, Zhou Qianyun's heart started racing slightly.

She tiptoed into the study, approached, and examined it carefully.

I used to be used to it, but looking back now, this guy is actually quite handsome, has a good physique, is decent at sports, and his grades are so-so, though they've been improving recently.

If he were a little sweeter, wouldn't he charm all those young girls?

Her gaze followed her thoughts and landed on Lu Yu's somewhat thin lips.

Go closer, and then.

Realizing what she had just done, Zhou Qianyun's ears were ringing, her heart was pounding, and even her fair arms turned blush. She immediately pulled her head back and covered her mouth with the back of her hand.

Sure enough, I shouldn't have been home alone with Lu Yu.

She wasn't worried about what Lu Yu would do; he was all talk and no action, but in reality, he was very measured in his every move.

She was worried about herself.

Zhou Qianyun thought of the chimneys in the abandoned factory area.

Once, while playing hide-and-seek, Lu Yu led her to hide there, but unexpectedly, a sudden downpour occurred, trapping the two of them inside.

Children have rich imaginations, especially Lu Yu, who chattered on about the end of the world, a great flood, and how only he and Lu Yu were left in the world, and that they had to get married, and so on.

This made Xiao Zhou Qianyun tremble with fear, and she could only desperately cling to his arm.

Then, following the rules of playing house.

The two held a small wedding ceremony in the cramped chimney for the sake of the survival of human civilization.

The groom lightly kissed the bride's forehead.

The bride, imitating the adults, tiptoed and returned the greeting.

It's all because of those lines in idol dramas.

In the pouring rain, the two childhood sweethearts made a vow to stay together for life.

Of course, the two returned home in a sorry state and were scolded. Later, the abandoned factory area was completely demolished, and the chimney that witnessed their wedding ceremony had long since turned to dust. As the years passed, neither of them mentioned that time again.

Those few seconds of confusion earlier.

Zhou Qianyun felt as if she had returned to that damp and narrow chimney.

It's all because of this damn period; it's made my head feel dizzy and even makes Lu Yu look less handsome.

Turning to leave, she paused, looked back, and Zhou Qianyun finally softened.

I picked up my phone and took a picture of Lu Yu, who was fast asleep.

I secretly put it into my private photo album, which has a lot of photos in it.

No one is allowed to look.
