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

"Do you like this Hakimi that much?"

Lu Yu looked at the girl walking beside him.

Although she was carrying a shoulder bag, she kept the little pear-shaped cat doll in her arms the whole time.

It was as if she wanted to declare to everyone in the world that this belonged to her.

"like."

Cheng Bailu said with certainty.

This girl who loves math is a woman of her word.

If she can say she likes it, then she must really like it.

"The money for playing the claw machine..."

I just don't really like owing favors to others.

"Little Qian, your brother Yu Zi made money today, Young Master Lu paid for the whole thing."

Lu Yu didn't care about this expense.

Compared to the smile on the face of the top student in the grade when they received the doll, this few dozen yuan is nothing.

Anyway, if it weren't for Cheng Bailu, he wouldn't have been able to earn the system's thousand yuan so easily.

The two walked to the corridor connecting the food street and the arcade. Lu Yu checked the time on his phone; it was almost five o'clock.

"It's almost five o'clock. Are you going home or eating out?"

Feng Jiahe is on the night shift today, so Lao Lu will definitely have to pick her up. She'll have to take care of dinner herself.

"Hmm..."

Cheng Bailu was caught in a dilemma.

At this time.

A faint rumble of thunder could be heard overhead.

The weather forecast says it will rain.

Lu Yu believed it this time.

The two hurriedly arrived at the mall entrance.

Outside, it was pouring rain.

Pedestrians rushed into the mall to escape the rain. It was lunchtime, and the first-floor lobby became crowded and damp, filled with the earthy smell of fresh rain.

"...It really is raining heavily."

Lu Yu decided to temporarily avoid direct confrontation.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?"

Cheng Bailu glanced at Lu Yu's empty hands.

"As you can see."

Lu Yu, the little bear, shrugged and then took out his phone to check the weather.

"If you have an umbrella, you should go back first. It looks like the rain isn't going to stop anytime soon, and it's going to get even heavier later."

Cheng Bailu pursed her lips and slightly opened her handbag.

The movement stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"...The umbrella is with Dad."

have to.

Even top students can make mistakes.

Cheng Bailu glanced at her phone and frowned slightly.

"My dad and mom have already gone home. Ugh, it's raining so hard..."

It must have been quite a journey to get here from Cheng Bailu's house in this storm.

"In that case, send them a message and tell them we'll eat out and go back when the rain gets a little lighter."

Lu Yu stared at the increasingly intense summer rain outside.

"Um."

After sending the message, Cheng Bailu stood beside him, and they watched the rain outside together.

During summer vacation, there would occasionally be a few particularly heavy rains. Whenever that happened, Lu Yu would stop what he was doing, lean against the window, and quietly listen to the sound of the rain, sometimes even taking a nap.

"Do you think the rain falling to the ground is also a kind of Lu Yu?"

He spoke out of the blue.

"?"

The girl looked over, her mind working for a moment before she understood the pun.

Then he chuckled and burst out laughing.

"Then, is the morning dew also a kind of dew?"

I quickly followed suit.

"That's true."

Lu Yu laughed along.

The rain was getting heavier, but the two high school students without umbrellas weren't worried.

in fact.

There are many ways to go home.

There's a supermarket downstairs; they'll definitely sell umbrellas there.

If you don't want to spend money, you can ask your parents to pick you up.

but.

The two of them tacitly avoided mentioning these things.

It was as if they wanted to take advantage of the torrential rain to prolong this golden moment a little longer.

Back upstairs at the food street.

The two found a claypot rice restaurant, ordered their food, and Cheng Bailu put down her handbag and doll before going to the restroom.

Lu Yu checked his phone and received a message.

[Shallow]: [Image]

When you open it, there's a dark, murky thing on the plate.

Lu Yu: ?

Today's number of interactions with Zhou Qianyun has reached the target.

[Current duration: 8 days]

I was planning to send the message when I got back tonight, but I've already finished it ahead of schedule.

[Qian]: Sweet and sour pork ribs, which I made.

[Lu Yu]: Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier?

[Qian]: I controlled the variables, and I feel that the delicious taste is not because the ribs here are of good quality.

[Lu Yu]: Have you really controlled it? I feel like you have a lot of variables.

[Qian]: Teach me how to make it for my mom.

hiss--

Lu Yu can teach him how to fish, but the side effects of the [Basic Cooking Skill] are probably not inheritable.

Moreover, given Zhou Qianyun's cooking skills, even if given a recipe, she probably wouldn't be able to cook the most basic dishes well.

Forget it.

Lu Yu briefly explained the most basic method and asked Zhou Qianyun to apply the formula.

[Shallow]: I'll try again.

You should take a break today. Pigs aren't born to be abused like this by you.

[Qian]: Right, I am indeed feeling better today.

[Lu Yu]: Hurry up and thank Doctor Lu for the dietary therapy.

[Qian]: Then you don't need to bring me breakfast tomorrow morning. Also, don't eat too much.

What does it mean?

Lu Yu sent a Hakimi emoji, and Zhou Qianyun replied with a Hakimi emoji.

The conversation continued at this point, and it just became a barrage of emojis.

Forget it.

Lu Yu put down his phone, and Cheng Bailu walked over holding two small cups of milkshake.

No wonder it took so long, turns out they went to buy drinks.

"Second drink half price, strawberry or chocolate?"

She sat opposite Lu Yu and put down the milkshake.

"Chocolate bar."

Lu Yu picked up the cup closest to him and took a sip.

The milkshakes sold in the mall are simple to make, but they have a strong milky flavor.

"That's great."

Give a fair and objective evaluation.

"Okay, that's good. The lady at the supermarket said it tastes great, so I bought some to try when I passed by."

With a long sigh, Cheng Bailu picked up the strawberry flavored drink and took a sip through the straw.

"How does the strawberry taste?"

Lu Yu asked casually.

"It's delicious, would you like to try some?"

After asking the question, Cheng Bailu was taken aback.

No, what is he going to taste?

You can't just use a straw, right? That would be... well, you know.

Hmm, he'll definitely refuse, thank goodness.

"Then I'll try it."

"!"

Lu Yu's response left the girl completely bewildered. She wanted to explain, but also felt a faint sense of anticipation.

However, Lu Yu simply pulled out his straw, inserted it into her milkshake, and took a gulp.

"It really tastes good. The strawberry flavor is a bit tart, and the milkshake flavor is very strong, which balances it out perfectly."

Lu Yu put the straw back and casually tasted his milkshake. Seeing Cheng Bailu staring silently at her milkshake (straw), he put it on the table and pushed it forward.

Here, have some chocolate with you.

The girl looked at the chocolate milkshake, pursed her lips, and felt her heart race.

Then, feigning composure, he grunted an "Mmm," inserted his own straw, and took a big gulp.

"Delicious."

He rushed to give his remarks before even swallowing the food.

"I'll bookmark this shop and try other flavors next time."

Lu Yu took out his phone and added it to his favorites.

"Yes, I'll try it again next time."

Cheng Bailu bit her straw and nodded slightly.

The word "next time" made her look forward to it.

The milkshake was delicious.

The strawberry one is delicious, and the chocolate one is delicious too.

But the best taste is the combination of the two.

"It doesn't seem like the rain is going to stop anytime soon. Shall we finish eating and continue shopping, or find a place to sit down?"

Lu Yu was browsing through the mall looking for entertainment facilities when suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Huh, I didn't expect this movie to be re-released."

Upon hearing the word "movie," Cheng Bailu immediately perked up her ears and secretly paid attention to the boy opposite her.

"Do you want to see a movie? It's the 7 PM showing, and the rain should stop by then."

The long-awaited invitation arrived, and the girl immediately looked up, giving her prepared answer without hesitation.

"think."
