The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Director Xie is out of ideas now.

Chen Zhi stood aside, looking at Director Xie's few sparse hairs fluttering in the wind with some sympathy.

The world is changing too fast, and the older generation is clearly falling behind.

Director Xie slowly put down the receiver, his movements sluggish, as if he were questioning the meaning of life.

He just called Lin Wanwan's parents again. Shouldn't parents be very angry when they find out that their daughter is dating?

Surprisingly, they not only didn't care, but were also very supportive.

Director Xie looked up, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself, "What's wrong with parents these days...?"

They've spent their whole lives cracking down on puppy love, and in the end, they found a couple who were "on official business"?

He sighed deeply and slumped back in his chair, looking as if he had aged ten years.

"Alright."

Director Xie waved his hand weakly. "I can't control you anymore. Do whatever you want."

"but!"

Director Xie suddenly sat up straight, pulled a shift change application form from his drawer, and slammed it on the table.

"Chen Zhi, pack your things. You're transferring to Class 1 of Grade 11 today."

Chen Zhi was slightly taken aback: "The Strong Foundation Class?"

"Yes, the Elite Foundation Program!"

Director Xie gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "That's the place with the strongest teaching staff in the whole school! You get out there and study hard. If you fall out of the top ten in the next monthly exam, I'll send you to the sports class to train for long-distance running!"

This was his last act of defiance.

Since they can't be separated, then let's isolate them.

Class 1 is on the fifth floor, and Class 7 is on the second floor. They're worlds apart. Let's see how you two can still be all lovey-dovey during breaks!

"Director, isn't this against the rules?" Chen Zhi said, feigning innocence after getting the benefit. "I've only been in Class 10 for a few days, and I haven't even had a chance to settle in yet."

"Rules? Now you want to talk to me about rules?" Director Xie sneered. "Either go to Class One, or I'll give you a major demerit and a school-wide public reprimand. The choice is yours!"

Chen Zhi immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Always ready to contribute to the development of Class One!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan immediately took a step forward.

She blinked her big eyes and looked at Director Xie with an expectant gaze, pointing to the tip of her nose as if to say: What about me? What about me?

Director Xie glanced at her and sneered.

"you?"

With a wave of his hand, Director Xie ruthlessly shattered the girl's dream. "You'd better go back to your Class 7 and stay there! Having these two troublemakers in one class, I want to live two more years!"

Put these two scourges in the same class?

He might as well just quit his job and go home!

"Alright, get out of here!" Director Xie waved impatiently, shooing people away. "Chen Zhi, you go to the registrar's office right now, get a slip, and move your things to Class 1! If I see you in Class 10 before the end of this class, you're dead!"

……

Stepping out of the Political Education Office, the sun was still shining brightly outside.

Lin Wanwan kicked at the pebbles by the roadside, looking unhappy: "That Lao Xie is so mean, he actually assigned you to Class 1."

Chen Zhi, hands in his pockets, seemed quite relaxed: "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it. Besides, there are advantages to being in Class 1; at least I won't have to listen to those boys gossiping behind my back."

"But..." Lin Wanwan stopped and turned to look at Chen Zhi, her voice tinged with grievance, "Class 1 is on the fifth floor, and Class 7 is on the second floor, several floors apart."

More importantly, Li Zhiyi is also in Class 1.

Seeing her sour expression, Chen Zhi couldn't help but reach out and pinch her puffed-up cheeks: "What are you thinking? I'm going there to study, to study for the rise of China, don't you understand?"

Chen Zhi coaxed Lin Wanwan back to Class 7, and watched her enter the classroom, turning back to look at her every few steps, before turning around and walking upstairs.

Grade 1 (1) Class.

Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, with its prestigious reputation, attracts the top 50 students in the city's high school entrance examination.

This is a paradise for academic achievers and a hell for struggling students.

Chen Zhi, with his hands in his pockets, leisurely strolled up to the fifth floor.

The entire floor was quiet.

Although it was during recess, students were playing and laughing at the doors of other classrooms, but the corridor at the end where Class 1 was located was quiet and deserted.

Chen Zhi walked to the back door of Class 1.

There was also a note on the back door that read, "Dogs and Chen Zhi are not allowed to enter."

Chen Zhi "..."

Damn it, they're bullying me at school?

Chen Zhi tore off the note, pushed open the door, and went inside.

In his mind, the style of such an elite class should be like this:

Everyone was wearing thick glasses, and a half-meter-high stack of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" books was piled on the table. Everyone was silently doing practice questions.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath, ready to be baptized by the "ocean of knowledge," and reached out to push open the back door.

"Squeak—"

The door opened.

The classroom was noisy, just like any other class.

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow and stepped inside.

In the corner of the last row, five or six boys were huddled together. The table was indeed piled high with books, but they didn't seem to be reading them.

Chen Zhi was all too familiar with this formation of stacks of books in front and on the sides.

He tiptoed and stood silently behind the boy on the outermost edge.

These "academic superstars" were holding their phones. The screens were flashing with lights and shadows, and special effects were flying everywhere.

"Go! Go! Go! Let's buy some!"

"Protect Lu Ban! Protect Lu Ban! Holy crap, is the support character sleepwalking?"

"Don't feed! Hold the high ground! The minion wave is coming in!"

The boy controlling Lu Ban No. 7 flicked his fingers across the screen, sparks flying, while frantically typing, "Does this jungler even know how to play? Always playing like a jungler, doesn't he know to gank?"

Chen Zhi leaned forward and glanced at the battle.

Good heavens, all three lanes of high ground are destroyed, and the super minions are already hammering the crystal, yet this Luban still dares to go out and clear the lanes alone.

"Don't go out, Lanling King is waiting for you across the street," Chen Zhi kindly reminded him.

"How is that possible! Lanling King just showed up in the top lane..."

The boy retorted without turning his head, his fingers just controlling Lu Ban to move out of the high ground tower's range.

Suddenly, an exclamation mark flashed above my head.

A smooth combo.

The screen is grayed out.

"Damn it!" The boy was so angry he almost threw his phone. "This Lanling King is cheating!"

Chen Zhi clicked his tongue twice and shook his head: "If you're bad, practice more. Besides, your build is problematic. The enemy team has a full burst damage composition, and you're going for full damage? Shouldn't you have at least some tanky items to survive?"

"You don't know anything! Lu Ban is all about output..."

The boy instinctively retorted, but halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized the voice sounded unfamiliar and was coming from above him.

He suddenly turned around.

A handsome, smiling face was looking down at him.

The boy's pupils dilated instantly, and he nearly dropped his phone. "Chen...Chen Zhi?!"

This shout startled several boys who were engaged in a fierce team battle nearby.

Holy crap!

"Who?"

Several people frantically stuffed their phones into the table, not caring whether the crystal had exploded or not, and stared at Chen Zhi in horror.

The boy playing with Lu Ban was named Cheng Jun. He was the sports committee member of Class 1. He was tall and strong, but his eyes were full of wariness when he looked at Chen Zhi.

He swallowed hard, making sure there was no teacher following Chen Zhi, before finally letting out a sigh of relief. Then his expression changed, and he glared at Chen Zhi fiercely.

"Chen Gou... no, Chen Zhi, what are you doing in our class?"

Chen Zhi pulled over an empty chair, plopped down, and pointed to Cheng Jun's still-hot phone: "I'll just take a look, you continue. The crystal hasn't exploded yet, I think it can still be salvaged."

Cheng Jun locked his phone with a dark expression: "Save my ass! Your arrival is more unlucky than a crystal exploding!"

Chen Zhi looked completely innocent: "We're all classmates, how can you make personal attacks? What did I do to deserve this?"

"How dare you ask?"

Cheng Jun sneered, "Every morning during morning exercises, you sneak into our class like a slacker and harass our class representative. Do you think all the boys in our class are dead?"

As he spoke, he glanced around at his brothers, and his confidence instantly returned.

"Our class already had a meeting and reached a consensus! If we see you harassing Li Zhiyi again, we'll break your legs!"

Several boys around him echoed his sentiments, each filled with righteous indignation, as if Chen Zhi were some kind of bully who had abducted a young woman.

Chen Zhi was amused.

So, I haven't even entered the class yet, and I've already become the enemy of the whole class?

He slowly pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on Cheng Jun's desk.

"Is this what you call a consensus?"

Cheng Jun looked down.

It was an A4 sheet of paper torn from the door frame, with a line of large characters written on it in bold marker:

【No Chen Zhi or dogs allowed!】

The handwriting was messy, revealing the anger of a delusional teenager.

Cheng Jun blushed, but still stubbornly looked down his nose at them: "That's right! I wrote it! So what? This is our class's territory, are you afraid of us?!"

"Your handwriting is really ugly," Chen Zhi commented, then crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the trash can by the back door. "Too bad, now I'm in Class One too."

"What?!"

Cheng Jun and the other boys' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Director Xie personally approved the note, so from now on we're a loving family." Chen Zhi smiled.

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

Cheng Jun opened his mouth wide, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Surprise my foot!

This is terrifying!

Chen Zhi ignored the group of badly injured boys, got up, clapped his hands, and found Li Zhiyi's location.

The figure was small, its head almost buried in the pile of books, as if trying its best to minimize its presence.

Chen Zhi walked straight over.

He walked to the table, stretched out his finger, and tapped it lightly twice on the surface.

"Knock knock."

Li Zhiyi trembled, clearly startled, and slowly raised her head.

Those clear eyes were filled with innocence.

Chen Zhi braced himself on the edge of the table, leaned forward slightly, and deliberately put on a stern face, saying fiercely, "We grew up together, after all. You just stood by and watched me get targeted? Why didn't you stop it back then?"

Li Zhiyi shrank back in fright at his imposing manner, nervously twisting the hem of her dress with both hands.

She glanced at Chen Zhi, then at the group of boys behind her, her little face showing a hint of grievance.

"I... I actually did tell..."

She explained somewhat anxiously, her voice soft and sweet, "But, but they didn't hear me..."

"Is not hearing it an excuse?" Chen Zhi pressed on relentlessly.

At this moment, Li Zhiyi's deskmate couldn't hold back any longer.

The girl with her hair in a bun was named Tian Qi. She stood up and blocked Li Zhiyi's way, glaring at Chen Zhi.

"Exactly! Why are you being so fierce!" Tian Qi stood with her hands on her hips, looking aggressive. "Don't you know what you've done? You come to harass Zhiyi every day during morning exercises. You're a complete scumbag! What right do you have to talk about my Zhiyi!"

Chen Zhi squinted and sized up the girl with the bun hairstyle.

"Oh, isn't this Comrade Xiaotian?" Chen Zhi looked at her with a half-smile. "If I remember correctly, back in the third year of junior high, who was it that begged me to help her rank up every day? And who was it that called me 'Brother Chen' so affectionately just to copy her homework? Now that I'm down on my luck and have been relegated to Class 1, you're starting to kick me when I'm down, aren't you?"

Tian Qi's momentum instantly diminished.

Her eyes darted around, clearly remembering the kindness she had shown her years ago, but she still stubbornly insisted, "That...that's a different matter! Anyway, you're not allowed to bully Zhiyi!"

After saying that, she sat back down somewhat guiltily, but still kept a wary eye on Chen Zhi out of the corner of her eye.

Having won over her best friend, Chen Zhi turned her attention back to Li Zhiyi.

"Alright, stop playing dead." Chen Zhi reached out and snatched the English book from her hand, which she was holding upside down. "You said you explained it, but how did you explain it? Come on, reenact the scene. If you don't satisfy me, I'll never talk to you again."

"Ah?" Li Zhiyi panicked instantly, her face turning bright red. "No, no~"

"Then let me demonstrate." Chen Zhi crossed his arms and watched her with a leisurely air.

Li Zhiyi bit her lower lip, seemingly doing a great deal of mental preparation.

After several seconds, she took a deep breath, stretched out two fair fingers, and gently pinched the hem of Chen Zhi's clothes.

Then, she raised her head and, in that soft, sweet voice that sounded easy to bully, whispered to Chen Zhi:

"Um, please don't post this. Actually, Chen Zhi and I are very close..."

Her voice was soft and light, with a hint of pleading and trembling.

Combined with those big, watery eyes, her charm is off the charts.

The air seemed to freeze for two seconds.

Chen Zhi: "..."

Chen Zhi is out of options now.

Who the hell can handle this?

Let alone Cheng Jun and his group of restless teenage boys, even he, a seasoned veteran who has lived two lives, is finding it hard to handle right now.

Isn't this just her being affectionate?

Using that tone to stop those boys? No wonder they wouldn't hear you! They'd probably be completely dumbfounded, their hatred for you would be off the charts, and they'd want to plaster that piece of paper all over the school.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the urge to pat her head.

He sighed helplessly and flicked Li Zhiyi's forehead lightly. "Alright."

Chen Zhi conceded defeat, "You pass. You're cute, and you're right."

Li Zhiyi covered her forehead and blinked blankly.

Is that all... over?

Chen Zhi didn't say anything more, and turned to look at Cheng Jun and the others in the back row who were still peeking at them.

"Please take care of me in the future, everyone."

"From now on, I'm a member of Class One too."
