The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi arrived at the entrance of the Central Conservatory of Music very quickly.

But the driver did not drive away immediately.

"Brother," the driver said, giving him a final fist-and-palm salute, his voice weathered yet filled with admiration, "this fare was well worth it. You go ahead with your work, I won't hold you back from bringing glory to the country."

After saying that, the car with the license plate ending in 0721 finally stepped on the gas and merged into the evening rush hour traffic, leaving its merits and fame hidden.

Chen Zhi stood on the curb in front of the Central Conservatory of Music, feeling completely drained.

He plopped down on the stone bench next to him and let out a long sigh of relief.

What the hell is this?

From morning till now, he's been running back and forth on Beijing's Third Ring Road, which is as congested as a sausage, seamlessly connecting three elderly ladies. Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to be ordered around like that.

After pausing for a couple of minutes, Chen Zhi took out his phone and checked his collar for lipstick stains.

Only after confirming that everything was perfect did he send Lin Wanwan a WeChat message.

[Chen Zhi: I'm at the door now, Wanwan. I miss you.]

back in seconds.

[Wanwan: Coming down right now! I was just made by my advisor to fill out a form, wait two minutes!]

Putting down his phone, Chen Zhi looked at the grand entrance of the Central Conservatory of Music.

Less than two minutes later, a white figure rushed out of the school gate.

Lin Wanwan was wearing a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts.

She stood at the doorway, looking around, and soon spotted Chen Zhi sitting on the stone stool.

"Chen Zhi!"

From a distance, the girl shouted in a clear voice, completely ignoring the stares of passersby, and rushed over with open arms.

Chen Zhi wisely opened his arms, ready to go.

With a "bang".

He was suddenly enveloped in a warm, soft embrace.

Lin Wanwan hugged his waist tightly with both hands, nuzzling her head against his chest, her voice filled with undisguised joy: "Why did you take so long to come? I've been waiting for you for so long. My roommate wanted to drag me to the cafeteria, but I said I didn't want to go. I wanted to wait for my boyfriend..."

Chen Zhi smiled and ruffled her hair, but just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze.

broken.

Just now, that wicked woman Pei Ningxue hitched a ride with him in the taxi the whole way.

If she can smell another woman's scent on you, you're definitely doomed.

Lin Wanwan, who was nestled in his arms, seemed to have had enough of snuggling and was about to lift her head. Her small nose twitched slightly, as if she was about to start her "routine inspection" mode.

Dangerous!

Chen Zhi's mind raced; at this moment, explaining would be a cover-up, and a cover-up would be the truth.

I have to overload her brain, or I'm doomed.

Just as Lin Wanwan raised her almond-shaped eyes and before her gaze could focus, Chen Zhi reached out and cupped her chin.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

"Well……"

Lin Wanwan's eyes widened instantly, her eyelashes trembled twice, and then she slowly closed them.

The "olfactory radar" that was about to be activated suddenly froze, leaving my mind blank, with only the warmth between my lips and teeth and that familiar scent remaining.

It was a long kiss.

Chen Zhicai reluctantly released her only when the person in his arms went limp, her breathing became rapid, and she completely forgot about the checkup.

Lin Wanwan's cheeks were flushed, her eyes were glistening with tears, and she leaned against him, feeling dizzy. She couldn't remember the scent of perfume at all.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, a few coughs came from the side.

"Oh my gosh, Wanwan, we're still at the school gate, and you two are being so mushy! Don't you care about leaving any room for single people to survive?"

Lin Wanwan sprang away from Chen Zhi's embrace, hurriedly tidied her hair, and blushed so deeply it looked like blood was about to drip from her face.

Chen Zhi then noticed that there were three girls standing behind Lin Wanwan, looking at them with maternal smiles.

"Oh dear! Sister Nan, please stop!" Lin Wanwan stomped her foot in embarrassment and quickly pulled Chen Zhi to introduce him to her roommates.

"Chen Zhi, this is my roommate."

Lin Wanwan pointed to the tall girl with neat short hair on the far left and said, "This is our dorm leader, Zhao Nan. She's from Northeast China and has a very outgoing personality."

Zhao Nan waved to Chen Zhi in a generous manner, speaking with a strong Northeastern accent: "Brother-in-law, it's great! Wanwan has been talking about you all day long, my ears are practically calloused. After seeing you just now, I can confirm you're quite something, no wonder you've got our big star all smitten."

Chen Zhi smiled and nodded: "Hello, Sister Nan."

Lin Wanwan then pointed to the girl in the middle wearing a Chanel-style suit and carrying a Louis Vuitton bag: "This is the second daughter, Su Rou, a local from Beijing."

Su Rou was quite pretty. She nodded reservedly to Chen Zhi and said, "Hello."

Finally, there was a small girl hiding behind the two of them, wearing black-rimmed glasses.

"This is the fourth one, and also the youngest in our dormitory, Zhou Xiaoyu."

Zhou Xiaoyu seemed a little socially awkward. Clutching the hem of her clothes, she timidly called out, "Hello, sister...brother-in-law."

Chen Zhi wore a warm and welcoming smile that was neither overly solicitous nor lacking in politeness.

"Hello ladies, I'm Chen Zhi, Wanwan's family member."

"Thanks to everyone for taking care of her all the way here. She's a bit absent-minded sometimes, so I'll have to trouble you all to be more understanding in the dorm from now on."

As he spoke, he casually put his arm around Lin Wanwan's shoulder: "I'm treating everyone to dinner tonight. Don't be shy, order whatever you want. Consider it an apology for making you wait so long."

These words were perfectly worded, asserting her authority while giving Lin Wanwan face, and also incidentally improving her relationship with her roommate.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Nan chuckled, "Great job, brother-in-law! You're a generous guy! Since you've managed to snag our dorm's star, we won't hold back. We're definitely going to rip you off tonight!"

Su Rou also joked with a smile, "Then we'd better choose a place carefully, we can't save money for Wanwan."

The group chatted and laughed, and in the end they didn't go to any expensive places, but instead chose a Haidilao hot pot restaurant in the mall nearby.

There's no way around it; although these girls kept saying they wanted to rip off a big spender, they were all quite sensible when it came to ordering food.

Zhou Xiaoyu, in particular, was speechless when she saw the prices on the menu, and hesitated for a long time before ordering even a half portion of potato chips.

The atmosphere at the dinner was very harmonious.

As the only male, Chen Zhi naturally took on the service tasks of blanching tripe, adding shrimp paste, and pouring drinks.

He was skilled and attentive, not only taking good care of Lin Wanwan, but also taking good care of his three roommates.

Moreover, he speaks wittily and humorously, and a few jokes are enough to liven up the atmosphere. Even the most introverted Zhou Xiaoyu was amused several times.

After the meal, Chen Zhi had successfully established his persona as an "ideal boyfriend" and a "reliable brother-in-law".

Looking at Lin Wanwan's expression—"doing nothing but eating and staring at Chen Zhi with a silly grin"—Zhao Nan couldn't help but shake his head and imitated her in a high-pitched voice:

"Oh dear, Chen Zhi~ This shrimp is so hot~"

"Oh Chen Zhi~ I want to drink that plum juice~"

The whole table burst into laughter.

Lin Wanwan pinched Zhao Nan's arm in embarrassment: "Nan-jie, you're so annoying! I never said that!"

"Come on, give me a break." Zhao Nan rolled her eyes. "The way you looked at my brother-in-law just now, it was practically drooling. My teeth were aching from the sight!"

When it was time to pay the bill, as soon as the waiter came over with the bill, Lin Wanwan grabbed her phone and tried to take it out.

"I'll do it! I have money!"

Chen Zhi pressed her hand down, both amused and exasperated: "What are you doing? I said I'd treat you, why are you taking it?"

"Oh dear, you must have a hard time making money."

Lin Wanwan said matter-of-factly, "My prize money and signing fee for my great voice add up to hundreds of thousands, more than I can spend. How much is your scholarship? You have to save it to buy a computer and books."

Zhao Nan and Su Rou exchanged a glance, both seeing sourness in each other's eyes.

She's not even married yet, and she's already starting to save money for her husband?

"That's different."

Chen Zhi didn't let go; with his other hand, he had already pulled out his phone and scanned the QR code. "Your money is yours, and mine is yours too, but this meal is on me."

Lin Wanwan panicked and tried to push Chen Zhi aside. "Your scholarship money is gone once it's spent, but if I run out of money, I can ask my dad for more. My dad's got tons of money! Comrade Lin Shuxian told me to spend it all and not save him any!"

puff.

Zhou Xiaoyu, who was drinking plum juice, almost spat it out.

Chen Zhi was amused by the silly girl.

"Wanwan."

Chen Zhi's expression turned slightly serious as he looked into her eyes. "You bought me a watch and clothes, and I can't even treat your roommate to a meal? If you keep this up, I'll split the bill with you from now on when we eat out."

Upon hearing the words "AA", Lin Wanwan immediately backed down.

These are the most hurtful words between couples.

"All right……"

Lin Wanwan reluctantly put her phone away and muttered under her breath, "Male chauvinism."

Chen Zhi paid the bill promptly, spending a total of over five hundred yuan, which was nothing to him now.

Seeing Lin Wanwan's pitiful, submissive demeanor, Zhao Nan across from her couldn't hold back any longer.

She spoke in a high-pitched voice, making delicate gestures with her fingers, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Your scholarship money is gone once it's spent~ If I don't have enough money, I can ask my dad for more~"

"Huh~"

Su Rou rubbed her arms in agreement, saying, "They're so sour! Even the plum juice at Haidilao isn't as sour as the two of you. I'm never going out to eat with you two again; it's too easy to get indigestion."

"Love-obsessed people are terrifying," Zhou Xiaoyu said, adjusting her glasses and offering a succinct summary.

Lin Wanwan was so embarrassed by their teasing that she grabbed a cushion and threw it at them: "Go ahead and eat your meat! It won't shut you up!"

……

After finishing their meal, they strolled around the mall for a while before Chen Zhi took the four of them back to the entrance of the Central Conservatory of Music.

It was already past nine o'clock at night.

Lin Wanwan held his hand, somewhat reluctant to part, "Are you going back to Peking University? It's so late."

"Hmm, I still need to go back and make the bed."

Chen Zhi checked the time. "Don't worry, I'll come find you again tomorrow."

"Then send me a message when you arrive."

"Okay."

Chen Zhicai breathed a long sigh of relief as he watched Lin Wanwan enter the school gate, turning back every few steps until her figure completely disappeared.

This awful day is finally coming to an end.

He felt his health bar was almost depleted and he desperately needed to lie in bed to regenerate.

Chen Zhi retrieved his two suitcases from the lockers in the mall, and then stood by the roadside to hail a taxi.

Now that the evening rush hour is over, it's much easier to hail a taxi.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped at the southeast gate of Peking University.

As Chen Zhi dragged his suitcase, looking at the plaque with the four large characters "Peking University" written on it, he felt a surge of emotion, as if he had finally arrived home.

Following the directions in the freshman handbook, he asked for directions along the way and finally found his way to the dormitory building of Yuanpei College.

Access control gates are installed at the entrance of the building.

Entry is usually done by facial recognition or a campus card.

However, since the new students haven't registered their faces yet, Chen Zhi can only use his campus card.

Chen Zhi put the box on the ground and reached into his pocket for his campus card.

The left pocket is empty.

The right pocket is still empty.

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

He then touched the pocket on his back and even turned his backpack inside out.

My ID card is here, my bank card is here, but my campus card is missing.

"Holy crap?"

Chen Zhi stood in the cold wind, feeling completely awful.

He clearly remembers putting the card in his pocket when he left the house!

"Ding-dong."

Just then, my phone beeped with a WeChat notification.

Chen Zhi had an extremely ominous premonition.

He opened WeChat.

The person with the pinned profile picture labeled "Bad Woman" sent me a picture.

The background of the picture is made of luxurious velvet sheets, like those used in hotels.

A pair of fair, slender legs with beautiful lines that are hard to look away from are casually crossed on the bed.

And on that snow-white skin, a red card lay quietly.

It was the Peking University campus card that Chen Zhi had searched all over his body but couldn't find.

Below the photo, a text message immediately popped up.

Pei: Hey bro, how did your campus card end up on my lap?

Pei: Without this, you probably won't be able to get into your dorm tonight, right? You don't want to be sleeping on the streets, do you?

Pei: I'm in room 1808 of the Shangri-La Hotel. You have half an hour to come and redeem me.

[Pei: Don't miss out, you little virgin.]

Chen Zhi stared at the screen, nearly driven mad with anger.

He took a deep breath, looked up at the dormitory building that was so close yet inaccessible, and then looked at the provocative photo on his phone screen.

Pei Ningxue.

Damn it.
