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

Chapter 70 The Roche Limit

Chapter 70 The Roche Limit (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

The two sat in the milkshake shop to kill time.

We didn't intentionally plan to do anything special; we just listened to music together, chatted about school and life, and time seemed to become sticky and sweet.

Even if we don't say a word, just sitting together, each looking at our phones, there's a faint sense of peace.

The last time Lu Yu experienced a similar feeling was probably when he was shopping with Zhou Qianyun.

But what is the relationship between Zhou Qianyun and him?

These two are the kind of couple who, even if they break up after dating, will still sit together for New Year's Eve dinner.

Speaking of which...

Lu Yu pondered.

If, and he meant if, Cheng Bailu really was his girlfriend from high school, then how did this girlfriend become his "ex-girlfriend"?

Given the extent to which the system manipulates fate, if they actually talked, would they eventually break up?

Because of the collapse of Cheng Bailu's family?

Or perhaps Lao Lu loses his job, forcing Lu Yu into obscurity?

Fortunately, he now at least has a system.

Study hard, and then work hard to eliminate any hidden dangers that could cause yourself and those around you to fall below the threshold of elimination.

The ending will probably be different, right?

"It seems like it's almost time. Should we go get our tickets and wait in line?"

Cheng Bailu took off the earphones and returned them to Lu Yu.

Because the mall was really crowded today, she habitually arrived a little early.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Yu took the earphones, which still felt warm to the girl, put them away, and slung his backpack over his shoulder.

It was indeed quite hot in the mall, and both of them took off their school uniform jackets and put them in their hands.

Cheng Bailu was wearing a school uniform shirt underneath, while Lu Yu was wearing a regular light-colored T-shirt.

After standing up, he naturally reached out his hand to her.

After staring at him for a second, Cheng Bailu obediently slipped her fingers into his palm and gently held it, just like other couples do.

"That way you won't sweat."

The girl showed off with a hint of pride.

[Hehe, I just learned this from a video. You're amazing, Cheng Bailu.]

You're amazing, Cheng Bailu.

Lu Yu led her to the entrance of the movie theater.

Although the system hasn't given him the reward yet, since things have come to this point, let's watch the movie first.

It's a romantic movie, and many couples came to see it.

Everyone was holding hands, and the two of them blended in perfectly.

Lu Yu even saw several couples wearing other high school uniforms, acting as lovey-dovey as two adults.

wrong.

We're not a couple, why are we looking at them?

Wow, are those two high school students? How could they be doing that in the corner?!

What is that?

Lu Yu felt the profoundness and richness of the Chinese language.

That thing refers to everything.

You know everything.

After taking the tickets, Cheng Bailu placed them in Lu Yu's hand.

"I'm going to the restroom."

"Um."

"What I mean is, I need to go to the restroom to use the toilet."

"Uh, I can go by myself."

Cheng Bailu looked at Lu Yu, who was leading her to the outside of the restroom, and felt a little embarrassed.

Why is Lu Yu so clingy, just like A Yu?

What did you say? I'm going to breathe on it.

Isn't this a limitation of the [Lucky Charm] effect?

"I need to go to the toilet too."

"Oh, okay... See you later."

[What was I thinking? He really just wanted to go to the restroom too!]

No.

As Lu Yu watched Cheng Bailu walk into the restroom, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Fortunately, she was still within her 50-meter radius, so Lu Yu wouldn't really go black and become an autistic cripple.

Oh no, I've caught it! I need to go to the bathroom too.

Have it.

Lu Yu closed his eyes and briefly recalled Cheng Bailu.

For example, the girl who sat next to me when I was in school.

For example, she patiently taught him during extracurricular activities.

For example, she would sip her milkshake slowly while leaning on her own arm.

For example, in the gentle evening breeze, she tells herself, "See you tomorrow."

The symptoms have eased considerably.

Okay, Lu Yu, you can go to the toilet by yourself.

He had just taken one step.

Lu Yu noticed a young boy staring at him from the side.

No, wait, don't misunderstand, I'm not...

The boy ran off in a flash to find his mother.

"Mom, there was a boy over there who was too scared to go to the bathroom alone, but I can go to the bathroom by myself now."

[Elementary Listening] brought out the kid's smug whisper.

I'm so damn angry.

Lu Yu, feeling apprehensive, finished using the toilet while recalling Cheng Bailu's appearance in his mind.

Damn it, Yu Zi, you've wasted all those years learning Chinese, how could you say such filthy things?

Cheng Bailu also came out while washing her hands.

Hmm, I need to wash myself thoroughly.

Rub your hands with hand sanitizer.

Then I need to wash myself thoroughly.

The two rubbed their hands together for five minutes.

After drying her hands, Lu Yu took her fair little hand in his.

My hands felt cool and smooth after washing, and seemed even more delicate.

Tickets checked, entry.

There are a lot of people.

The two went to the couple's seats.

This time it was a large theater, and even the couple's seats were much more spacious.

The two sat down, and there was still room even after putting their backpacks on the chairs.

"It's so wide, won't it be inconvenient to sit close together?"

Cheng Bailu sat down gently, deliberately placing her schoolbag near the armrest, and then turned to look at Lu Yu.

"Put your backpacks over there, they're uncomfortable."

Lu Yu casually placed the schoolbag over to Cheng Bailu.

The girl shifted her position, quietly moving a little closer to him.

The screening room was a little noisy, with GG playing on the big screen.

The two sat somewhat awkwardly on the long sofa in the couple's section, with a fist's distance between them.

Okay, let's just enjoy the movie. Last time was a special case, a special case!

Cheng Bailu pondered to herself.

Snapped-

As soon as the lights dimmed, the theater fell silent.

The girl looked at the screen, waiting for the movie to start.

suddenly.

She felt a warmth in her hand.

Looking down slightly, Lu Yu's hand covered her small hand, gently kneading it.

The boy looked up, staring straight ahead at the movie trailer.

A strong premonition welled up in my heart.

[Just in the movie theater, where nobody can see us, it should be...okay, right?]

My mind was racing, and my chest felt like my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

Slowly and quietly, as if not wanting to be seen by anyone, not even herself in the sunlight, the girl moved her position, inching closer to the boy beside her.

Then, arms touched arms, knees touched knees, and through their school uniforms, they felt each other's body heat.

Carefully, she leaned her weight over him, resting her head on Lu Yu's shoulder.

At the beginning of the film, a wisp of twilight casts a blush on the girl's cheeks.

next moment.

Lu Yu suddenly released her hand.

【W-What's wrong?】

Just as Cheng Bailu was at a loss, thinking that she had made unwarranted expectations.

Lu Yu wrapped his hand around the back of the girl's head and gently pulled her into his arms.

Just like last time.

Amidst the intense, resonant beats of their hearts, the two warmed each other through their bodies in the slightly chilly theater.

Cheng Bailu placed her hands on her lap and nervously rubbed her fingers together.

Then, Lu Yu gently placed his other hand on the back of her hand.

Their fingers touched, intertwined, rubbed, and entangled, finally binding together between their bodies.

Like the male and female protagonists in a story, they merged into one, like binary stars that broke through the Roche limit, as if they would never be separated again.

Cheng Bailu gradually became immersed in the plot, moved by the romance between the male and female protagonists, and a faint melancholy lingered in her heart until the final separation arrived.

Wow, is that how you confess your feelings so directly? That's incredibly bold!

[Hmm, if you post this on QQ Space, "Second item half price," it means "Second drink half price," right? Wait, won't everyone around know?]

She's so brave! When will I be able to be as proactive and outgoing as her?

They held hands! They held hands! Is this how they hold hands?!

[They...they actually kissed! Wait, is this something we should be watching?]

[Confessing your love with flowers in front of the whole school, and the teacher even applauded—this must be from a sci-fi movie!]

【Huh? How could this be? How could this happen?】

As Lu Yu watched the movie, he listened to the innermost thoughts of the girl in his arms, as if he had a live chat.

At the film's climax, during the scene where the female lead bids farewell to the male lead, Cheng Bailu subconsciously gripped Lu Yu's hand tightly.

As the music, visuals, and storyline blended together, the girl began to sob softly.

Lu Yu was initially quite moved, but when he heard the girl beside him cry, he chuckled.

[Waaaaah, why did it have to be like this? Waaaaah————]

She could no longer think; all that remained was sobbing.

Inside the movie theater, there was a constant chorus of sniffling.

Damn it, how could this screenwriter be so wicked!

It was as if I could hear those curses.

When the end credits rolled, Cheng Bailu couldn't hold back any longer. She buried her face in Lu Yu's arms, her tears soaking his shirt. The girl trembled slightly, her arms unconsciously wrapping around his waist as she hugged Lu Yu.

The petite and soft body of the young girl pressed close to Lu Yu, her warm breath falling on his neck, and her soft, lemon-scented hair tickling Lu Yu's nose.

I'm not happy anymore.

Yuko, you need to stand up straight!

If I keep trying to stand up, I won't be able to stand up for more than a few stops!

Hearing the girl's inner thoughts, Lu Yu knew that she was completely absorbed in the plot and had nothing on her mind but was busy venting her emotions.

At times like this, all you need to do is let her cry it out.

As for the snot and tears of a pretty girl soiling her clothes, that's something Lu Yu will have to worry about tomorrow.

Only when the lights came on did Cheng Bailu slowly release Lu Yu, her eyes red and her cheeks flushed.

"Give."

Lu Yu hurriedly rummaged through his bag and pulled out a tissue, handing it to her.

"I never expected it to be such a tearjerker. The director and screenwriter are really ruthless."

Help me condemn the author.

"Thank you."

The crybaby Cheng Bailu turned her face away and wiped away her tears with a tissue.

[Waaaaah, he saw it all! I'm so embarrassed! I was just hugging him—what was I doing?!?]

My mind is filled with shame.

At this time.

At the cinema, where the movie should have ended, a staff member walked to the front of the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to watch the movie. To coincide with the film, our theater is having a small activity for couples to practice their chemistry. There are prizes for participants. If you would like to participate, please stay for a moment."

Cheng Bailu was drawn by the sound, sniffed, and looked over.

Lu Yu pricked up his ears.

Many couples who had been standing sat back down.

After all, it's a holiday tomorrow, so why not join in the fun? If it gets any later, I might not even have to go back to the dorm.

"Our game is called Telepathy. The staff asks the girls questions, and after they write down their answers, the boys respond. If they can correctly answer five randomly selected questions, they can win a shopping card worth 2,000 yuan that can be used in the mall."

coming?

After hearing the game rules, Lu Yu immediately perked up.

[Huh? That's hard to guess, even real couples probably wouldn't get all the answers right.]

Cheng Bailu was seriously considering the difficulty.

"Let's draw seats to decide the first couple to go on stage."

Other staff members brought over a lottery box, and soon, a slip of paper was drawn.

"The first picture shows the couple's seats. Are any of you in seats 15 and 16 of the couple's seat row?"

"The staff called out."

Suddenly, everyone in the theater turned around.

The focus was drawn to two students in school uniforms carrying backpacks.

"what?"

Under the gaze of the entire audience, Cheng Bailu made a bewildered sound, like a confused otter.
