The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Zhao Lei stared intently at his phone screen, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

Are these people out of their minds?

Just then, a series of muffled footsteps came from outside the toilet door.

Immediately afterwards, that voice that terrified the entire school rang out:

"That cubicle, two people? Get out here!"

Thank you, Baldy!

Skinny Monkey shuddered, his legs trembling, and he whispered in terror, "We're doomed, Brother Lei! It's Director Xie! If they catch us with a cell phone, we're dead!"

Zhao Lei was also startled by the sudden reprimand.

Already feeling guilty, and further fueled by the anger in the comments section, my hand trembled. This tremor caused my newly purchased, barely-used iPhone X to slip from my palm as if it had been coated with oil.

Zhao Lei watched as the expensive black phone traced a beautiful parabola in the air.

"No--"

He let out a desperate cry in his heart.

"thump!"

A crisp sound of water echoed in the small cubicle.

The phone landed precisely in the drain of the squat toilet, splashing a few drops of water.

Zhao Lei froze.

The skinny monkey froze.

The two looked down at the dark opening. The phone screen was still lit, flickering stubbornly twice in the murky water before going completely black.

That's Fruit X!

More than eight thousand yuan!

Zhao Lei felt his heart bleeding, and his breath almost stopped. He instinctively reached out to grab it, but the stench that assaulted his senses made him stop in his tracks.

"What are you dawdling about? Do I have to ask you to come out?"

Director Xie outside had clearly lost his patience, pounding loudly on the cubicle door. "If you don't open the door, I'll have security tear it down!"

"Coming...coming!"

The skinny monkey was terrified and frantically opened the latch.

The door opened.

Director Xie stood with his hands behind his back, his round belly protruding, his piercing gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"Two grown men crammed into one cubicle? What's going on?" Director Xie looked them over suspiciously, sniffing the air. "It stinks! Are you having a meal in there?"

Zhao Lei's face was deathly pale, as if he had lost his soul, his eyes still fixed on the pit.

"N-nothing... I didn't do anything, teacher. I'm not feeling well, Zhao Lei, help me up." The skinny guy reacted quickly, clutching his stomach and pretending to be in pain.

Director Xie snorted coldly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the two men before finally settling on Zhao Lei's empty hands.

"I just heard a 'plop,' what fell down?"

Zhao Lei trembled, forcing back the pain in his heart, and gritted his teeth as he said, "No...it's nothing, I just dropped a coin."

"A coin?" Director Xie clearly didn't believe it. He glanced into the hole, but couldn't see anything due to the angle. "Alright, get back to class! If I find out you're smoking or playing on your phones in the bathroom, you'd better watch out!"

"Yes, yes, goodbye teacher."

The two felt as if they had been granted a pardon and slunk out of the toilet.

Even after walking a long way, Zhao Lei could still feel that heartache.

Stealing chickens will not lose rice.

Chen Zhi didn't ruin the business, but he lost his own phone first.

……

The next morning.

On the playground of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, the "Athletes' March" was playing over the loudspeaker.

Thousands of students, dressed in blue and white school uniforms, gathered in several long lines on the red track.

As soon as the team passed the podium, Chen Zhi broke away from Class 1 and skillfully squatted down on the grass beside the track.

Oops, my shoelace is untied.

He muttered to himself, his hand still tying his already loose shoelaces.

After Class 1's group had run far away, Class 10's group happened to pass by.

Chen Zhi accurately spotted that familiar figure.

Pei Ningxue ran on the outside of the girls' group, her ponytail swinging with each step, her fair face flushed slightly from exercise.

Good morning, Xiao Pei.

Chen Zhi remained in a squatting position and waved with a smile.

Pei Ningxue kept her eyes straight ahead, but her pace noticeably slowed by half a beat. A slight smile played on her lips as she muttered under her breath, "Childish."

"Did you sleep well last night? Did you dream about me?" Chen Zhi shamelessly jogged a few steps beside him.

"I dreamt that you fell into the toilet." Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes at him, then looked around with some concern. "You'd better go back quickly, or you'll get caught by the student on duty."

"Yes, ma'am."

Chen Zhijing saluted and squatted down again.

"Ouch, the shoelace on my other shoe came undone too."

As soon as he squatted down, the seventh class's line came over.

Lin Wanwan ran to the front of the line and had already spotted Chen Zhi waiting there.

The girl didn't tie her hair up today; her smooth, long hair was draped over her shoulders. When she saw Chen Zhi, her almond-shaped eyes instantly filled with laughter. She deliberately slowed her pace and, as she passed by him, gently poked his forehead with her finger.

"Big liar, pretending again."

"I'm innocent! I was waiting for you." Chen Zhi lowered his voice, took a White Rabbit candy from his pocket, and put it in her hand. "Didn't you have enough for breakfast? Here, have some."

Lin Wanwan clutched the candy, feeling sweet inside, but she scoffed, "I saw you chatting quite happily with Pei Ningxue just now?"

"I asked her to play games with me after school," Chen Zhi said, making up a lie with a straight face.

"I don't believe you." Lin Wanwan tossed her head arrogantly and ran off with the group, not forgetting to turn back and make a face before leaving.

Chen Zhixin patted the grass clippings off his trousers with satisfaction.

This is what youth is all about.

Surrounded by beauties on both sides... no, it's about being successful in all directions.

He stretched and was about to cut in line back to the back of Class 1 when suddenly everything went dark.

A pair of straight, long legs blocked his way.

Shift your gaze upwards.

The girl was wearing a neat school uniform with a red "Student Council" armband on her sleeve. Her high ponytail was tied up meticulously, and she was holding a small notebook in her hand, looking down at him.

Chen Zhi blinked; this person looked familiar.

Isn't this the rigid student council president from junior high?

"Senior?" Chen Zhi called out tentatively.

Xu Min pushed up her glasses, twirling a pen in her hand, and said in a flat tone, "I didn't expect you to still be so unruly in high school, Chen Zhi."

"You flatter me." Chen Zhi cupped his hands in a chuckle and said, "It's all thanks to the contrast with my peers."

"I'm not praising you." Xu Min made a note in her notebook with a blank expression: "Leaving the group at will during morning exercises and disrupting order, two points deducted from Class 1."

Chen Zhi wasn't annoyed. Instead, he leaned closer and looked curiously at the armband on her arm: "You didn't become the student council president again, did you?"

He was Xu Min's main focus during junior high school, so the two were "old acquaintances".

"Otherwise what?" Xu Min closed her notebook, glanced at him, and said, "Should I let someone like you take the position?"

Chen Zhi's eyes darted around, and he suddenly became excited, grabbing Xu Min's sleeve: "Hey, senior, let's make a deal."

Xu Min pulled her hand away in disgust: "Speak your mind, don't touch me."

"Is your student council still recruiting?" Chen Zhi's eyes lit up.

Xu Min was stunned for a moment, clearly not following this guy's train of thought.

Logically speaking, troublemakers like Chen Zhi would hate disciplinary organizations like the student union the most.

"I'll confess, but..." Xu Min looked him up and down. "You? What do you want? To sneak in and act like an official?"

"Vulgar!" Chen Zhiyi retorted righteously. "Am I that kind of person? I'm wholeheartedly dedicated to serving the school and helping my classmates solve their problems!"

Xu Min sneered: "Speak like a human being."

Chen Zhi chuckled, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously, "Do you guys... usually check phones?"

"Investigate," Xu Min nodded. "This is a key task for the Discipline Department. Why?"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, the smile on Chen Zhi's face gradually turned sinister.

He suddenly stood up straight, patted his chest, and declared with righteous indignation, "I want to join the student council! I want to join the disciplinary department! And I'm applying to be specifically in charge of checking cell phones!"

Xu Min squinted at him, feeling that this guy had ulterior motives.

This is like asking Sun Wukong to guard the Peach Garden.

"Give me a reason," Xu Min said calmly.

"Why?" Chen Zhi asked excitedly. "I want to contribute to building a positive school ethos and discipline."

"..."

Xu Min's lips twitched slightly.

"Furthermore," Chen Zhi held up three fingers, "I dare to swear a solemn oath! If I can't find three cell phones in a single squad, I'll offer my head in resignation!"

Xu Min remained silent for a few seconds, looking at Chen Zhi's eager expression, and suddenly felt that this might be a good idea.

After all, only magic can defeat magic.

Only the most seasoned slackers know best where they hide their phones.

"No need to bring your head." Xu Min reopened her notebook and wrote a few lines. "Come to the student council office for an interview after school this afternoon. But let me make this clear: if I find out you've led a group in violating the rules..."

"Don't worry!" Chen Zhi patted his chest and assured him, "I'm a man of principle. I'm allowed to do whatever I want, but I won't let the common people do anything... Uh oh, I mean, I'm strict with others but lenient with myself... No, that's not right either."

Chen Zhi coughed and said, "In short, I want all the outlaws at Jiangcheng No. 1 High School who bring cell phones to feel the pressure from a Glory King!"

Xu Min watched his departing figure and shook her head helplessly.

This guy is a real menace.
