The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The cicadas chirped incessantly in the old locust tree outside the window, announcing the arrival of summer.

Another six months have passed, and summer vacation has arrived.

Chen Zhi sat cross-legged on the cool mat, holding the remote control in his hand, idly changing channels.

On the television screen, a black cat police officer is holding a pistol and relentlessly chasing One-Ear.

"Why."

Chen Zhi sighed and tossed the remote control aside.

Four years have passed since I was reborn, and this body is now four years old.

Besides being forced to go to kindergarten every day and pretend to be stupid, the greatest pain is not having a mobile phone or internet.

Current television programs are like chewing wax to a time traveler who has witnessed the abundance of entertainment programs and internet videos of the future.

He sighed, lay back on the cool mat, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

His father, Chen Jun, and mother, Zhang Guifang, had both gone to work, leaving him alone at home to "look after the house."

He said he was watching over the house, but really he was just afraid the boy would run off to play.

After all, these days, the legend of the flower seller is widely circulated among the people.

"Knock knock knock!"

A sudden, urgent knocking broke the silence inside the room.

Chen Zhi didn't even lift his eyelids.

The rhythm, the intensity—besides that little green plum next door, no one else could compare.

He slowly climbed up from the mat, slipped on his slippers, and walked to the door.

I picked up a stool and peeked out through the peephole.

really.

A delicate, pretty face was almost pressed against the door as she struggled to stand on tiptoe.

Chen Zhi turned the door lock.

With a creak, the door opened.

A huge, colorful sphere comes into view first.

Next came Lin Wanwan, who was holding the round ball.

The sphere was an oversized lollipop, as big as a basketball, making Lin Wanwan's head look smaller.

"Zhizhi!"

The moment Lin Wanwan saw Chen Zhi, her eyes instantly crinkled into two crescent moons with laughter.

She proudly presented the large lollipop, almost shoving it into Chen Zhi's face.

"Look! Isn't it big!"

Chen Zhi stepped aside to make way for him.

"Come in, it's hot outside."

Lin Wanwan hugged the big thing, like a little hamster carrying winter food, and squeezed through the door with great effort.

She expertly kicked off her slippers, stepped barefoot onto the straw mat, and slammed the large lollipop onto the coffee table.

"Phew...it's so heavy."

The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead; her cheeks were rosy, like a ripe apple.

"My mom and dad went to work, and I'm all alone at home. It's so boring."

Lin Wanwan sat down cross-legged and patted the spot next to her.

"Zhizhi, come quick, let's eat candy!"

Chen Zhi walked over, sat down opposite her, and examined the giant lollipop.

This thing is a rare find nowadays.

They are usually only found in amusement parks or large shopping malls.

"Did Uncle Lin buy this for you?"

Chen Zhi asked casually.

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Wanwan nodded vigorously, her ponytail swaying with the movement.

"Dad said this is a reward for me being good yesterday."

As she spoke, she eagerly began to tear open the wrapping paper.

The giant lollipop was wrapped in several layers of colorful plastic wrap, and the gold ribbon tied tightly at the top.

Lin Wanwan tried to pry it open with her little hands for a long time, but she couldn't manage it.

She puffed out her cheeks in anxiety and looked to Chen Zhi for help.

"Zhizhi, please help me..."

Chen Zhi shook his head helplessly.

This girl is more enthusiastic about eating than anyone else, but her practical skills are practically zero.

He took the lollipop, quickly untied the gold ribbon, and tore open the outer wrapper.

"Wow--"

Lin Wanwan gasped in surprise, her mouth practically watering.

however.

When the last layer of plastic was removed, the air suddenly became quiet.

Lin Wanwan's smile froze.

I thought it was a solid, big sugar ball, but it turned out to be empty inside.

There were only a dozen or so ordinary little lollipops, lying forlornly at the bottom of the plastic shell.

"fraud!"

Lin Wanwan pouted, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Daddy's lying! This isn't a candy bar at all!"

She grabbed the huge empty plastic shell, so angry she wanted to smash it on the ground, but she couldn't bear to part with the little candies inside.

Chen Zhi almost burst out laughing when he saw her looking like she had lost her parents.

This is just a common tactic used by businesses.

They're just selling packaging and a concept.

It's only good for fooling naive little kids.

"Alright, stop howling."

Chen Zhi took out a strawberry-flavored lollipop from inside, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth.

"Think about it, if there really was a solid candy that big, how long would it take you to eat it?"

Lin Wanwan, with a candy in her mouth, blinked her big, tearful eyes and tried to speak through whimpering.

"It's so big, bigger than your head."

Chen Zhi gestured.

"If you keep chewing on it every day, you'll lose all your teeth before you even finish eating, and you'll become a toothless little old lady."

Lin Wanwan imagined what she would look like without teeth and hiccuped in fright.

"Besides, if such a big piece of candy melts, you'll get stuck in the syrup."

Chen Zhi continued to deceive.

"Then the ants will smell you and come over, carry you back to their nest and raise you as their queen."

Lin Wanwan was completely terrified.

She looked at the small lollipop in her hand, then at the huge plastic shell.

Suddenly, I realized that this might be a good thing.

"Then...then let's eat the smaller one."

Lin Wanwan slurped her saliva, her emotions coming and going quickly.

With the addition of sugar, her mood visibly improved.

"Zhizhi, actually I brought some good stuff with me."

Lin Wanwan looked around mysteriously.

She took off her small backpack and unzipped it.

They poured everything inside onto the mat.

Besides the few rag dolls, the most eye-catching thing is a red paper bucket.

Master Kong Braised Beef Noodles.

This stuff is strictly forbidden for children as "junk food".

"This is something I secretly hid."

Lin Wanwan lowered her voice, her face mysterious.

"I saw the chubby kid next door eat it, and it smelled so good!"

She swallowed hard, her eyes gleaming with longing for the unknown delicacy.

"My mom won't let me eat it, she says it will make me stupid."

Lin Wanwan was a little conflicted, but she was quickly defeated by her cravings.

"Anyway, I'm not smart now, so it doesn't matter if I become a little dumber, right?"

This logic is impeccable.

Chen Zhi looked at the bucket of instant noodles and his lips twitched.

It must have been really tough on her.

People are willing to sacrifice their intelligence for the sake of stuttering.

"You want to eat without working?"

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"Is that not allowed?"

Lin Wanwan had already torn open the lid, revealing the dry bread inside.

She leaned closer and took a sniff.

His brows furrowed.

"Why doesn't it smell good?"

She looked at Chen Zhi with a puzzled expression.

"I could smell the aroma from downstairs when Little Fatty was eating it."

"Why does this only smell like...cardboard?"

She poked the dough with her finger; it was rock hard.

This was completely different from the soft and chewy noodles she had imagined.

"Fool."

Chen Zhi sighed and flicked her forehead.

"This is instant noodles; you have to soak it in boiling water before you can eat it."

"You also need to add a seasoning packet, otherwise where will the aroma come from?"

Lin Wanwan covered her forehead, suddenly realizing what had happened.

"Let's go for a drink!"

She pushed the instant noodle bucket in front of Chen Zhi, looking expectant.

"I'm out of hot water. Do you know how to boil water?"

Looking into her trusting eyes, Chen Zhi felt a surge of responsibility as her "guardian" again.

"Wait."

He stood up, picked up the instant noodle bucket, and walked towards the kitchen.

Lin Wanwan followed him around like a little tail.

In the kitchen, the stove was kept very clean.

Zhang Guifang is a diligent person; she arranges all the bottles and jars neatly.

Chen Zhi placed the instant noodle container on the countertop.

The problem is coming.

The countertop was too high; at his current height, only his head was visible above it.

To operate it, you need to stand on your feet.

He turned and went to the restaurant to bring in a wooden stool.

"Zhizhi, what are you doing?"

Lin Wanwan watched curiously as he placed the stool in front of the stove.

"Cook."

Chen Zhiyan's words were concise and to the point.

He climbed onto the stool and instantly gained a view overlooking the stove.

Pick up the electric kettle and go to the tap to fill it with water.

The water flow hit the bottom of the kettle, making a "whoosh" sound.

Lin Wanwan stood below, looking up at him with a face full of admiration.

"Zhizhi is amazing, she can even cook!"

In her mind, only adults like her parents would go into the kitchen and tinker with pots and pans.

Chen Zhi filled the kettle halfway with water and laboriously placed it on the base.

This body's strength is still too weak.

Even just half a pot of water makes my wrists ache.

"Smack."

He skillfully turned on the switch.

The kettle then made a hissing sound.

Chen Zhi put the lid on the teapot and clapped his hands.

"Alright, just wait."

Lin Wanwan leaned over the kitchen counter, standing on tiptoe to look up.

"How long will we have to wait?"

"Once the water boils, it's fine."

Looking at the lonely bucket of instant noodles, Chen Zhi suddenly felt a little shabby.

It was supposed to be a "feast" for childhood sweethearts, so how could they just eat noodles?

This body is in the growth stage and needs to be supplemented with protein.

"Wanwan, would you like some eggs?"

Chen Zhi turned around and asked.

"think!"

Lin Wanwan answered without hesitation, her voice loud and clear.

She wanted anything that was food.

"Wait a minute, I'll show you something."
