The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The sunlight was a bit too bright on the playground of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School.

This is a physical education class for Grade 11 (10).

Few people were willing to move on the playground. Only a few energetic boys were fighting for the basketball hoop under the scorching sun. The rest either hid under the shade of the trees chatting or made an excuse about having a stomachache to go back to the classroom to enjoy the fan.

But a few people were squatting next to the parallel bars in the corner of the playground.

Zhao Lei had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth; it was one he'd stolen from home. He usually couldn't bear to smoke it, so he just dangled it in his mouth to satisfy his craving. His heels tapped against the cement steps, the dust from the soles of his shoes smearing all over the bar.

"I just don't understand. That guy surnamed Chen was arrested yesterday morning, and Old Xie's face was as long as a donkey's. How come by the afternoon, this kid was perfectly fine and even got promoted to a higher class?"

This news has already spread throughout Class 10.

They were all waiting to see Chen Zhi make a fool of himself, get a public reprimand, have his parents called in, and hopefully be expelled—after all, Jiangcheng No. 1 High School is notoriously strict about cracking down on early romantic relationships. But instead, he got into the only top class in the entire school.

"Who can blame them for having such good grades?"

A boy next to him said sourly, "He's the top scorer in the high school entrance exam, the school will definitely treat him like a treasure. Forget about dating, if he took a dump in Xie the Bald, Xie would probably praise him for his good digestion."

"Damn it, what a stupid world!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth in anger, "Last time I took a puff of an e-cigarette in the bathroom, Xie the Bald chased me down three flights of stairs and made me write a three-thousand-word self-criticism! Why does he get away with it?"

This stark contrast fueled the already intense jealousy of the group of boys who disliked Chen Zhi.

Especially when she thought about Chen Zhi sitting in a spacious classroom with air conditioning, and possibly sitting next to a top student and beauty like Li Zhiyi, her sense of imbalance reached its peak.

"Brother Lei, this matter cannot be left unresolved."

The "skinny monkey" who had been squatting silently to the side suddenly spoke up.

This kid is the bespectacled man who secretly took photos of Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan after school that day. He's nicknamed "Skinny Monkey" because he's so thin.

"Baldy Xie doesn't care because he wants to maintain the college entrance examination pass rate. But what about the principal? The principal can't just ignore it too, can he?"

Skinny Monkey took out his phone and pulled up the photo.

In the photo, Lin Wanwan is affectionately holding Chen Zhi's arm under the setting sun, almost pressed against him. Chen Zhi has his head down, and although his expression is not clear, the posture looks very intimate.

"If this photo were posted in the principal's mailbox, or even directly on the confession wall so everyone could see his true colors..." Skinny Monkey chuckled sinisterly, "I refuse to believe that Chen Zhi can control everything."

Zhao Lei's eyes lit up, as if he could already see Chen Zhi being publicly criticized throughout the school, or even expelled.

"Well done, Skinny Monkey. You're usually so quiet, but when it really matters, you're the one who's cunning—no, I mean, you're the one with the best ideas!"

Zhao Lei patted Skinny Monkey on the shoulder and said viciously, "Publish it! Publish it now! And print out this photo and post it on the school bulletin board! I don't believe we can't destroy him!"

The group exchanged glances, revealing lewd smiles that suggested they were about to get their revenge.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the playground.

Pei Ningxue did not go for a walk or play badminton like the other girls.

She had taken leave citing "illness" and was now sitting alone at the highest point of the stands, leaning against the railing with her long legs casually stretched out.

She held her phone in her hand, the screen's light reflecting on her delicate but expressionless face.

The interface is a QQ chat window.

She was checking Chen Zhi's online status.

From the very first class in the morning, that green "Mobile Online - 4G" sign has remained unchanged.

Even worse, you can access it simply by opening the Honor of Kings assistant app.

[In-game - Ranked Match - 16 minutes]

This state has continued uninterrupted since the very first Chinese class in the morning.

The first Chinese language class was held online.

The second math class was held online.

The third English class was held online.

……

It's already the second period in the afternoon, and this guy is still playing!

Are all the teachers in Class 1 blind?

Pei Ningxue pursed her lips, a strange sense of irritation rising within her.

Back in Class 10, although Chen Zhi often slept or spaced out, at least he would sit next to her and occasionally bicker with her, or she would secretly watch him for a while when he was drooling in his sleep.

Now that this person has gone to Class 1, he's like a wild dog that's been let loose, completely unleashing his true nature.

Pei Ningxue typed in the input box, deleted and typed again, and finally sent a curt message.

Pei: [You went to Class 1 just to find a different place to play games? Even more outrageous than in Class 10?]

The message was sent and received a reply in less than two seconds.

The speed at which he replied in a second is enough to prove how free he is during class.

Chen Zhi: [?]

Looking at this perfunctory punctuation mark, Pei Ningxue felt even worse today.

Pei: [There are eight classes a day, and you've attended almost seven of them. Doesn't your homeroom teacher care?]

Fifth floor, back row of the classroom of Grade 1 (1).

Chen Zhigang pushed away the crystal on the opposite side, looked at the two big words "Victory" on the screen, and casually unscrewed the iced tea on the table and took a sip.

Chilled Guojiao!

Upon seeing the message from Pei Ningxue, he raised an eyebrow and a mischievous smile appeared on his lips.

This little classmate, though he tells him to get lost, his actions speak louder than words, constantly watching his every move.

His fingers flew across the screen.

Chen Zhi: [Oh, you're paying so much attention to me? You even know how many classes I played games in?]

Chen Zhi: [Pei, stop stalking me. You're scaring me. It feels like I'm being watched by a pervert.]

On the stands of the playground.

Pei Ningxue looked at the words on the screen, and her originally fair cheeks flushed red.

Who's spying on him?!

Who's the pervert?!

How can this person be so shameless!

She took a deep breath, jabbed her finger hard at the screen, and sent an angry soybean emoji, followed by a kitchen knife emoji.

Pei: [Don't flatter yourself. I just happened to see your friend list.]

Chen Zhi: [An explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up means it actually happened. Admit it, you miss me, don't you?]

After this person joined Class 1, it seems that their shamelessness level also increased.

Just as she was about to type a reply, Chen Zhi's message popped up again.

Chen Zhi: [Come join my team, I'll carry you to higher ranks. Our current team needs a mid-lane support, I carry them every day, and they're still not happy even after I farm a few waves of mid-lane minions.]

Pei Ningxue was stunned for a moment.

Go to Class 1?

She looked at the noisy playground in the distance, then at the empty space beside her.

Chen Zhi's smug smile flashed through her mind, along with the dashing figure of him leaving yesterday.

"Who cares to go?"

Pei Ningxue muttered something under her breath, but her fingers betrayed her by not typing a word of refusal. Instead, she sent a "deserter" emoji.

Pei: [I'm not going.]

Chen Zhi: [Tsk, this is paradise! The back row is right next to the internet cafe's VIP rooms.]

Chen Zhi: [Alright, let's stop chatting now, get out of class is about to end.]

Pei Ningxue frowned slightly as she looked at the last message.

Pei: [?]

get out of class is over, isn't it? Isn't it a good time to chat after class? Why don't we chat anymore after class?

Do you need to go to the restroom?

The thought had barely crossed my mind when the school bell rang throughout the entire campus.

Pei Ningxue sat up straight, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the direction of the teaching building.

A figure was swaying as it walked out of the corridor on the fifth floor.

Even from this distance, Pei Ningxue could recognize the figure at a glance.

He wasn't wearing his school uniform jacket, just a white T-shirt underneath, and he walked with a lazy gait, holding a bottle of iced tea in his hand.

It was Chen Zhi. Pei Ningxue recognized him at a glance after being his deskmate for so many years.

He didn't go to the restroom, but went straight to the stairwell.

Pei Ningxue locked her phone, put it back in her pocket, took it out again, and finally simply placed it on her knee.

"fraud."

She gave a soft hum, but didn't move, only tucking her wind-blown bangs behind her ear.

……

At this moment, in a corner of the playground.

Zhao Lei and the skinny monkey were plotting something.

"I've already thought of the copy."

Skinny Monkey pushed up his glasses, a sinister look on his face. "Just write, 'Shocking! Top scorer in the high school entrance exam openly engages in early romance, damaging the school's reputation, and is suspected of having an affair with someone outside the school.' Muddy the waters, so he can't clear his name!"

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Zhao Lei gave a thumbs up.

Just then, a boy suddenly tugged at Zhao Lei's sleeve, his voice trembling slightly: "Lei...Brother Lei, look who's that?"

"Who is it? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Zhao Lei looked in the direction the boy was pointing, looking impatiently.

At the exit of the teaching building, a familiar figure was walking towards the playground.

He had one hand in his pocket and a bottle of iced tea in the other, with a smile on his face that made you want to rush up and punch him.

Chen Zhi.

How did he get down?

Zhao Lei and the others' expressions instantly stiffened.

Why is he here? Did someone tip him off?

Chen Zhi didn't seem to notice the few sycophants in the corner.

He walked straight across the playground, his gaze fixed on the lone figure at the highest point of the stands.

As Chen Zhi passed by Zhao Lei and the others, he didn't even turn his head; he simply tossed the empty iced tea bottle behind him.

"Clang!"

The bottle landed precisely in the trash can at Zhao Lei's feet.

"Three points."

Chen Zhi snapped his fingers, whistled, and walked briskly toward the stands.

Zhao Lei looked at the bottle that was still swaying in the trash can.

"Damn it...did he do that on purpose?"

Skinny Monkey swallowed hard and hid his phone behind his back: "Brother Lei, should we still report it?"

Zhao Lei stared intently at Chen Zhi's back, especially when he saw that Chen Zhi was heading in the direction where Pei Ningxue was. His jealousy was so intense that it almost seemed to spit fire.

That's Pei Ningxue!

She was the undisputed goddess of Class 10. Liu Xiaoyan couldn't even compare to her. She never spoke a word to him. Why was she so close to Chen Zhi?

Why does this kid get all the good things?

"Release it now! I'll ruin his reputation! Let's see how long he can keep up this arrogant attitude!!"

Zhao Lei gritted his teeth, forcing out the words, "Not only will we send it to the principal, but we'll also post it on Baidu Tieba! Let's see how long he can keep up this arrogance!"

In the stands.

Pei Ningxue watched the figure get closer and closer until Chen Zhi walked down the steps and looked up at her.

Backlit, the boy's outline was somewhat blurred.

"Yo."

Chen Zhi strode up the steps and sat down directly next to her, bringing with him a gust of hot air. "Why are you here all alone?"

Pei Ningxue moved to the side, creating some distance between herself and him.

"You skipped class?"

"What do you mean by skipping class? I just went to the bathroom and came back a little late." Chen Zhi said shamelessly, reaching for the phone in her hand. "Here, let me see. Were you looking at my game stats just now?"

"Don't touch me."

Pei Ningxue slapped his hand away, her face stern, "You smell of sweat."

"You dislike me?" Chen Zhi wasn't annoyed. Instead, he moved even closer and made an extremely disgusting low, bubbly sound. "Who was spying on me just now? Little Pei, you should be honest."

Not far away, Zhao Lei raised his phone, the camera pointed at the two people in the stands.

In the shot, Chen Zhi is speaking to Pei Ningxue with his body turned to the side, and the posture looks like they are flirting.

"Great, we caught another one."

Zhao Lei hovered his finger over the send button, a twisted smile on his face. "Chen Zhi, you're dead this time."
