The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

When Li Zhiyi emerged from Chen Zhi's arms, her fair face was flushed. Several students passed by, and a few boys watching the scene felt their hearts break.

"Okay, there are a lot of people watching."

Li Zhiyi lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

Chen Zhi hadn't hugged her enough, but he knew this girl was shy. He let go, then took her soft little hand in his, gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb: "Looking is fine, is it illegal to hug your childhood sweetheart? Attorney Li?"

"I haven't become a lawyer yet..." Li Zhiyi muttered softly, but she didn't break free and let him hold her hand.

"I'm hungry, let's go eat." Chen Zhi waved his hand. "I heard the food at Renmin University's cafeteria is pretty good, I'll try it out today."

"Mmm! The braised pork at the East Campus cafeteria is especially delicious, but it's sold out if you go too late."

The two walked side by side into the school. Li Zhiyi deliberately walked slowly, occasionally brushing her shoulder against Chen Zhi's arm.

When I entered the cafeteria, it was lunchtime and it was packed with people.

Li Zhiyi followed closely behind Chen Zhi, but then remembered that this was her territory, so she took the initiative to go and queue up for food.

"Chen Zhi, sit here and wait for me, I'll go get it. Do you want braised pork or sweet and sour pork ribs? The braised prawns here are pretty good too."

Li Zhiyi told Chen Zhi to find a seat, and then, holding the campus card with her photo on it, she squeezed into the crowd getting food.

Chen Zhi found a seat by the window and watched Li Zhiyi weaving through the crowd.

The girl seems to have become a little more lively since she arrived at Renmin University compared to when she was in Jiangcheng.

It seems her teacher really treats her well.

A short while later, Li Zhiyi came over carrying two trays.

Goodness, this is a feast of hearty dishes.

I ordered a braised pork belly, a braised prawn, a stir-fried bok choy, two bowls of rice, and two bottles of chilled Beibingyang soda.

"Eat up, this braised pork is delicious, it's fatty but not greasy."

After Li Zhiyi sat down, the first thing she did was pick up a large piece of braised pork and put it into Chen Zhi's bowl.

Chen Zhi took a bite, his eyes brightening: "It's really good."

Li Zhiyi's eyes crinkled when she heard his praise.

"I knew you'd like it."

After eating a few bites and regaining her strength, Li Zhiyi started talking non-stop. Perhaps because she hadn't seen Chen Zhi for so long, she was eager to share everything that had happened with him during that time.

"Chen Zhi, do you know that my current mentor, Professor Wang, is incredibly accomplished in the legal field?"

A grain of rice clung to Li Zhiyi's lips, her eyes sparkling.

"I was really lucky. When the semester started, the senior student who was supervising me said that I had a calm personality and recommended that I attend a mock trial as an observer."

"Then I met my current advisor, a very distinguished professor in the law school, surnamed Yang. Professor Yang is really good to me. He always invites me to his projects and lets me sit in the back row and listen in."

"He also took me to the Supreme Court. Although I only sat at the back to listen to the proceedings, I saw many names that I had only seen in textbooks before."

When Li Zhiyi talks about her major courses, she shines.

"He took me to an academic seminar a couple of days ago and introduced me to many famous professors. Everyone praised me for taking careful notes, but actually I was just afraid of missing any of the key points the professors made."

Chen Zhi listened attentively while eating his rice.

"I feel like I'm dreaming. I used to think that universities in Beijing were far away from me, but now I can actually sit here and listen to those important people speak."

As they were talking, Li Zhiyi placed another peeled shrimp into Chen Zhi's bowl.

"Chen Zhi, eat more."

"Look at you, you've lost weight." She looked at Chen Zhi's dark circles with some concern. "Is starting a business very tough?"

Chen Zhi felt guilty.

Hard work my ass.

Half of these dark circles are from staying up all night dealing with computing power and graphics card cooling, and the other half are purely from being exhausted from chatting on the phone with Lin Wanwan while dealing with Pei Ningxue's flirting.

However, he certainly couldn't tell the truth directly.

"It's alright. This little bit of hardship is nothing if it's so you can become a rich wife in the future," Chen Zhi said indistinctly as he stuffed the piece of meat into his mouth.

Li Zhiyi blushed and poked at the rice in her bowl, saying, "Who wants to be a rich wife? I can earn money to support you myself."

She paused, and her voice suddenly became softer.

"I'm so lucky to have met such a great teacher and to have gotten into such a great school."

She raised her head, her bright eyes staring at Chen Zhi for a while, before her voice suddenly lowered.

"However, I'm even luckier to have met you."

Chen Zhi didn't quite hear him and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Li Zhiyi quickly lowered her head to eat, her face slightly flushed.

"It's nothing! I just meant the shrimp are quite fresh, you should eat them."

She began to eat without saying a word.

After finishing their meal, Li Zhiyi took the initiative to clear the plates, refusing to let Chen Zhi do it.

Li Zhiyi, Li Zhiyi, you're so good to me, are you trying to turn me into a useless person?

……

Stepping out of the cafeteria, a cool breeze blew through the air, and the streetlights on campus were already on.

"Chen Zhi, let's go for a walk over by Yishao Pond. It's quite beautiful there at night."

The two strolled through the campus of Renmin University, where couples of students lined the roadside.

In college, everyone can openly start dating, but although there are streetlights on campus at night, they are not particularly bright.

Therefore, many young couples choose to take a walk in the dimly lit university campus at night.

On the roadside benches, you can often see couples in love embracing each other.

The dimly lit environment is perfect for couples to whisper sweet nothings to each other.

Li Zhiyi put her hands behind her back and looked down at the tips of her shoes.

She walked very slowly, as if she wanted to stretch the road out indefinitely.

"Chen Zhi".

As they walked to a bench, Li Zhiyi suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

"What's wrong?"

"You suddenly came to see me today... is something the matter?"

She raised her eyelids, and her clear eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts.

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

This girl is too sensitive.

In the past, Chen Zhi would contact her mostly when he needed her help with something. Over time, she seemed to have gotten used to only seeing him when he "needed" her.

But today, Chen Zhi really didn't have any ulterior motives.

If I had to pinpoint a reason, it would be that after settling some important matters at the company, he simply wanted to visit this silly girl.

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Chen Zhi reached out and tucked her wind-blown bangs behind her ear. His fingertips touched her earlobe, causing her to shrink back.

"It's been so long since I've seen you, I wanted to come and see you." Chen Zhi's tone was unusually serious. "And also to see if any clueless guys dare to steal my girlfriend."

"No, I didn't..."

Li Zhiyi smiled faintly.

"I told them I have a childhood friend I've known since I was little, and they stopped daring to come near me. Also... I spend all my time in the library reading and ignore them."

"That's good." Chen Zhi smiled and gently pinched her soft cheek. "If anything happens, be sure to tell me. Don't bear it all by yourself. Although I'm not particularly rich right now, I can easily help you sort out a few troubles."

Without the power to control capital, one cannot be considered particularly wealthy, and that makes sense.

Li Zhiyi nodded obediently.

Looking at her docile appearance, Chen Zhi suddenly felt a tickle in his heart.

Li Zhiyi wore a very thin layer of lip gloss today, which shimmered and glowed under the streetlights, looking pink and tender.

Chen Zhi's mind began to wander involuntarily.

Lin Wanwan's lips tasted like strawberries, sweet and delicious.

Pei Ningxue is cherry-flavored and always likes to take the initiative and bite people.

I wonder what Li Zhiyi's tastes like.

Judging from her well-behaved appearance, she probably has a subtle, gentle charm.

Chen Zhi's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his eyes became somewhat deep.

He took a step forward, closing the distance between them.

Li Zhiyi clearly sensed the change in atmosphere, and she held her breath.

She didn't dodge; instead, she slightly raised her chin, as if waiting for something.

That look of being offered up for anyone to pick was practically a test of Chen Zhi's status as a cadre.
