Standing at Li Zhi’s front door, Shen Yuan was pretty sure he had just seen her blush.
It was just that the beautiful girl had slamd the door shut so fast it didn’t give him a chance to react at all.
’Young Master Li won’t back out, right? If she does, I’ll have so dirt on her.’
Shen Yuan grinned, turned around, and headed for ho.
What Shen Yuan didn’t know was that behind the door he’d just left, a slender figure was pressed against it, staring intently at him through the peephole.
"Zhizhi, are you still watching Yuan?"
Her mother’s voice from behind made Li Zhi jump.
"Uh, yeah!"
The beautiful girl nodded, quickly coming up with an excuse for her actions. "I was just seeing if he was going to do anything bad at our door."
Xu Chan was baffled. "What kind of bad things could he possibly do at our door?"
"I don’t know. I’m going to do my howork now."
With that, Li Zhi hurried off toward her room.
Xu Chan watched her daughter’s retreating back and shook her head.
In the large study, Xu Chan watched Li Shicheng work for a mont before sitting down beside him.
After a while, when Li Shicheng finally sat down to take a break, Xu Chan asked, "Old Li, what do you think of that boy, Shen Yuan?"
Li Shicheng paused his train of thought and turned to his wife.
"What’s this? Already scouting for a son-in-law?"
Xu Chan rolled her eyes in exasperation. "That’s right. I think Shen Yuan is pretty great. What, you’re not satisfied with him?"
Li Shicheng chuckled and shook his head. "Didn’t you just hear those two kids? Even if sothing were to happen between them, it wouldn’t be right now. Besides, there’s college to think about. With Zhizhi’s grades and Shen Yuan’s, do you really think they can get into the sa university?"
"Even if they do get together, what if they’re in different cities for four years of college? A long-distance relationship... it’s not like you and I haven’t been through that."
Listening to Li Shicheng, Xu Chan nodded thoughtfully.
But a mont later, she slamd her hand on the table and demanded, "Hey! Are you saying it was too much work to court back then?"
Li Shicheng was utterly baffled.
’How did we suddenly get on this topic?’
Li Zhi didn’t know she was the cause of her father’s current bewildernt. Right now, she was at a bit of a loss herself.
It wasn’t as if Shen Yuan had never given her gifts before.
It’s just...
Clothes were a matter of subjective taste.
One person might think an outfit is beautiful, while another might find it ugly.
And Li Zhi had so understanding of Shen Yuan’s sense of style.
To sum it up in one word—provocative.
Moreover, Li Zhi was one hundred percent certain that Shen Yuan’s motive for buying the dress wasn’t just to give it to her.
Because their "620 agreent" was a bet!
Would Shen Yuan really be so kind as to use a bet to give her a dress?
’That pervert probably just wants to wear it for him.’
Li Zhi quickly guessed Shen Yuan’s true motive.
A mont later, the large stuffed dog by her bed once again suffered the beautiful girl’s abuse.
"Dumbass Shen Yuan!"
Li Zhi lifted her foot and kicked the large stuffed dog.
...
「Sunday.」
The rare long weekend allowed Shen Yuan to sleep in for a bit.
Who understands just how golden it is for a high school senior to wake up at 8 AM?
It was just so aweso!
Shen Yuan blissfully got out of bed, and after washing up, he went to scoop the litter for his two dumb cats.
As for feeding, he and Li Zhi had chipped in to buy an automatic feeder. It would dispense food at the set ti, so all they had to do was rember to refill it.
Sa for the water.
"I feel like I’m raising two poop machines!"
After taking out the trash downstairs, Shen Yuan went out for breakfast. On his way back, he started chatting with Xiaoguo.
"Cats are so much trouble, and they shed. Nope, not getting one."
Shen Yuan glanced at Xiaoguo. "I can tell you’ve never been in a relationship. If you get a cat, you can tell a girl, ’My cat can do a backflip, wanna co see?’"
Guo Yifei chuckled drily. "Do you think girls these days are idiots? Besides, it’s not like your cat can actually do a backflip."
Shen Yuan shook his head. "My cat can’t."
A ’just as I thought’ expression appeared on Guo Yifei’s face. But before he could say anything, he heard Shen Yuan continue.
"But I can."
Guo Yifei’s mouth twitched.
’Are all these damn dumbass kids so weird these days?’
"You don’t believe , do you?"
Guo Yifei nodded. "I don’t."
"Fine, don’t believe then."
Shen Yuan tossed his head. "I’m going to go find Li Zhi to do howork."
Guo Yifei’s expression imdiately fell.
Shen Yuan’s cat didn’t need to do a backflip, and Shen Yuan didn’t need to do one either. But a childhood sweetheart would be showing up at his house.
And him?
He didn’t have a cat, he couldn’t do a backflip, and he definitely didn’t have a childhood sweetheart.
Xiaoguo looked at his own physique. It seed like getting a cat was the more achievable goal.
It’s just that his salary wasn’t nearly enough.
’Ah, forget it. I’ll think about it later.’
Before he even got ho, Shen Yuan pulled out his phone and sent a ssage to Li Zhi.
Shen Yuan: "Don’t tell soone’s still sleeping in? I’ve already started studying."
Shen Yuan: [Image]
It was a photo he had snapped casually after getting up that morning; there was no truth to it whatsoever.
After sending it to Li Zhi, Shen Yuan casually forwarded it to Zhou Shaojie, Zhuo Peipei, Yang Ze, Chen Mingyu, Ji Ningning, and Sun Xiansheng.
It was all about spreading the misery.
’Thinking of enjoying a nice, long sleep on your day off?’
’Heh heh, not a chance.’
High school students generally have early biological clocks. Although there were so lazy bums, the people Shen Yuan ssaged wouldn’t sleep in too late.
Ah Jie and the others had to play gas, Zhuo Peipei had to manage the Kissing Association, and Ji Ningning was, at her core, a total tryhard.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, the people ntioned above successively sent Shen Yuan their most "sincere blessings."
Zhou Shaojie, in particular, had already escalated to death threats.
But a re Ah Jie was nothing to worry about; one good wrestling hold would be enough to make him behave.
Li Zhi’s reply was the last to arrive, but its destructive power was several tis greater than Ah Jie’s.
Li Zhi: "Question 5 is wrong."
Shen Yuan imdiately sat bolt upright.
It had to be the Painful Sacrifice herself to get the job done. Now *this* was the authentic stuff.
But taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Yuan invited Li Zhi over to his place to do howork.
Shen Yuan: "I just saw Naonao do a backflip. Wanna co see?"
Li Zhi: "?"
When Li Zhi sends a question mark, it doesn’t an she has a question. It ans she thinks there’s sothing wrong with Shen Yuan.
It was her own cat. Wouldn’t she know?
Well, actually, she didn’t know.
And so, Li Zhi was lured over.
"Where? Where?"
After putting down her howork, Li Zhi picked up little Naonao.
"Naonao, the poop-scooper says you can do a backflip. Is that true?"
Naonao, who couldn’t understand a word, just stared blankly at Li Zhi, its expression seeming to say, "Mom, are you a dumbass?"
Cuddling the little cat, Li Zhi glared at Shen Yuan. "You tricked , didn’t you?"
"Why would I trick you? It really can. It did one while roughhousing with San Geng."
"Heh."
A scornful smile appeared on the beautiful girl’s face.
"Hey, if you really don’t believe , then I can do one for you," Shen Yuan said, eager to try.
The flesh on Li Zhi’s cheeks twitched slightly.
"I ca to see a cat do a backflip."
The mont Li Zhi’s voice fell, she saw Shen Yuan fra his face with his hands, making cat paws.
"ow~"
Li Zhi’s eyes instantly widened, and she felt her psyche had just suffered a grievous wound.
"Go die!!!"
