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

Chapter 72 I Like You

There's something very wrong with the questions you're asking!

Lu Yu stood on the other side, inwardly complaining.

For ordinary couples, a few disagreements might lead to a breakdown in their relationship because of these issues.

Thankfully, your brother Yu Zi opened up.

In the past, the question of who pursued whom was mostly answered by the boy pursuing the girl.

If a girl were to write this, she would definitely assume, with a bit of reserve, that a boy is pursuing her.

But given the current situation of both of them, it's hard to say.

Ultimately, the word "pursue" is inappropriate; it always carries a sense of inequality between the two sides.

If such a question truly existed, Lu Yu hoped the answer wouldn't be about who pursued whom, but rather...

Well, let's see what our classmate Cheng Bailu has to say.

On the other side of the screen, Cheng Bailu held a pen, looking at the whiteboard with a conflicted expression.

I need to think about Lu Yu's thought process. He might guess that he was the one pursuing me, but it seems like he'd lose face if I did.

[I don't mind writing about me pursuing him, but even if I were to actually pursue him... wait, wait, now's not the time to think about that.]

But whether he pursues me or I pursue him, it doesn't feel quite right.

[Well, forget about the prize money, I'll just write the answers I want.]

If we were to actually fall in love—just if, oh well—I hope it would be...

..

With her heartfelt thoughts in mind, Cheng Bailu wrote down her answer.

The whiteboard was turned over, and the audience gasped in surprise, all turning to look at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu picked up the microphone.

"We are mutually in love."

There were only four words on the whiteboard.

They are mutually in love.

Her answer was his answer.

The exclamation turned into a sigh of envy.

Holy crap, this kind of love still exists in this day and age! I believe in love again!

I was thinking they'd be eliminated in a flash, I'm so ashamed!

Sure enough, love during student days is pure and without impurities. Waaah, why didn't I have a sweet romance in high school?!

"Wow, you two are really in sync! So, it wasn't like one of you pursued the other, and you just naturally got together?"

The staff were all touched.

"Yes." "Mm."

They both nodded at the same time.

Inside the theater, a chorus of "Wow!"s filled the air.

"I sincerely hope that you can answer all the questions correctly and take away the reward. Now let's start the fourth question."

"

We've held several events in the past few days, but no couple has managed to get to the fourth question yet. The staff are getting a little excited.

"The fourth question is, when was your first kiss?"

"???"

A question mark appeared above Lu Yu's head.

Do you guys not really want to give out gift cards?

Even if we take a step back and assume that some couples haven't even had sex yet, what if they haven't?

Ok?

Wow, it's true!

He and Cheng Bailu exchanged a glance.

[Just answer "no" to this question; he'll definitely guess.]

[Well, indirect occurrences shouldn't count, otherwise it's happened several times already, in the cafeteria, while drinking milkshakes...]

My first kiss... I heard from my parents that they kissed while hiding behind someone during an outdoor movie screening at the factory.

If it were me, I'd also like to be in that kind of situation, but only if I'm absolutely certain that he's the one I want to spend my life with.

Uncle Cheng and Aunt Qin are quite fashionable.

Cheng Bailu wrote down the words and turned on the whiteboard.

At the same time, Lu Yu provided the answer.

"We haven't yet."

"Wow, I'm a little curious, if you had this idea later, in what kind of setting would you like to use it?"

The staff started gossiping and began to make their own pronouncements.

The audience also craned their necks to look.

【Huh? Why would you ask that?】

However, this doesn't count as a guessing game. Lu Yu can just say whatever he wants. I'm a little curious, what will his answer be?

]

[The previous question was directed at the two of us; could it be that he has already kissed Zhou Qianyun?]

You little girl, you've evolved into W, right? Why are you always searching for enemies in the void?

Not counting Zhou Qianyun's, that's what I said.

Lu Yu pondered for a moment, looked at Cheng Bailu who seemed somewhat expectant, and then spoke.

"I hope that the person I do this with is someone who has already decided to spend the rest of their life with me. I feel that it is a vow, so I won't kiss easily."

The girl pursed her lips, her gaze softened, and she lowered her eyes.

The location of my first kiss...

"

Lu Yu looked around.

"I hope that in a movie theater like this, where colorful stories unfold, we can create unforgettable memories together under the reflection of the screen."

An uproar ensued.

Holy crap, you've got top-notch emotional intelligence! Your Chinese score must be at least 140!

Holy crap, this innocent and pure love story is nothing compared to the couple next door who've been inseparable since the beginning of the movie! You guys are the real benchmark!

This guy is handsome, eloquent, and so knowledgeable and caring about his girlfriend. If I were ten years younger, I would pursue him immediately!

The movie theater really hit the jackpot by picking you two to participate in the guessing game. It's a pity we can't record it, otherwise you two would be famous tomorrow.

Amidst the clamor of voices, Lu Yu could only hear the flow of her heart.

He and I thought exactly the same thing.

[Was it because it was in a movie theater that we bumped into each other?]

But even if it's just a coincidence, I don't know why, but I'm a little happy.

My answer is your answer.

That's wonderful.

He smiled as he looked at the girl, a feeling of deep emotion welling up inside him.

"Hey buddy, does that count as the fifth question?"

"Although I think your answer is perfect, unfortunately, we still have a fifth question. I believe this question should be very easy for you."

The staff member smiled and told Lu Yu to calm down, then looked at Cheng Bailu.

The fifth question is: What would you most like to hear him say to you?

The audience became agitated.

If your cinema doesn't want to give out prizes, just say so! Stop with all this nonsense!

Couples who can answer all five questions correctly should get married right here and now, and I'll bring the Civil Affairs Bureau over for you!

Don't let the last few minutes of this pure love story ruin my whole night of reading!

Viewers who have experienced four rounds of pure love drama just want a happy ending tonight.

After all, the movie we just watched was so heart-wrenching, we're looking for something sweet, otherwise we definitely won't be able to sleep tonight!

It took the staff a little while to quiet everyone down.

Lu Yu looked at Cheng Bailu.

This question is actually very simple.

Lu Yu only needs to listen quietly to her innermost thoughts to know the answer.

however.

The girl's inner voice remained silent.

After a whole night, Lu Yu realized that she wasn't thinking; she was just spacing out.

She already knew the answer.

It was precisely because of this answer that she fell into a daze she had created for herself.

After a short while, or perhaps a long wait.

Cheng Bailu picked up a pen and wrote down the answer.

Since we're pretending to be a couple tonight, writing this won't affect tomorrow.

Since that's the case, let me be a little selfish for once.

Lu Yu said it didn't matter if the answers were wrong; he didn't care about the prize money.

[We were able to go out with him, eat and drink together, watch movies together, and even hold hands like a couple. We had the same answers to the questions you just asked.]

I am very content tonight.

For her.

Everything I'm experiencing today is something I never dared to imagine in the past.

Her life was so hard that she couldn't even bear to eat a little bit of candy; she would just keep it in her pocket and take it out to look at when she was having a tough time.

She rejected her uncle's offer, not only because he had ill intentions, but also because she knew that what others gave her would one day be taken back, and she dared not take those gifts for granted.

Only when she achieved something, like her grades, through her own hard work, did she dare to lie down and fall asleep cautiously.

She dared not hope for more.

So that's enough.

Cinderella's magical time has come to an end.

Those words, which I dare not even utter in my heart, will remain buried deep in my memory, as my own secret.

But Lu Yu said it wasn't enough.

If today were to end here, then for her, the impression left by this "Roman Holiday" would not be walking hand in hand on campus, exchanging milkshakes, snuggling together to watch a movie, nor these few "telepathic" questions and answers.

It's not the regret of not being able to hear those words at the end that matters.

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

For this girl, there are too many regrets in her life.

The father's injustice and destitution, the family's hardship and poverty, and his own loneliness and solitude.

Lu Yu has no way to change these things yet.

Therefore, all he could do was ensure that she had no regrets today.

Turn the whiteboard over.

Cheng Bailu looked at the boy in the distance with a touch of melancholy, noticing the way he was looking at her.

Then, in the huge theater, under everyone's gaze, the boy spoke, his voice clearly audible.

He said.

"I like you."

The solemn and resolute words matched perfectly with the neat handwriting of the girl in her marker on the whiteboard.
