The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The classroom was bustling before the morning reading session, and the noise seemed particularly loud on this early morning.

Chen Zhigang returned from the playground, his body steaming with heat. He casually wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped lightly through the back door.

Li Zihan, who followed behind him, was not so carefree. The chubby boy was pale, his tongue was sticking out, and his legs were dragging on the ground as if they were filled with lead, making violent panting sounds with every step.

"Zhi...Brother Zhi, could you...run one less lap tomorrow?"

Li Zihan leaned against the door frame, feeling like her lungs were about to explode.

Chen Zhi ignored his wailing and walked straight to his seat.

Just as he was about to stuff his schoolbag into the desk, he suddenly stopped.

Lin Wanwan's desk was now set up like an altar.

On the originally tidy table, there were two boxes of Mengniu pure milk and a bottle of pink Zhenguoli milk.

It looks like a gift from a young virgin in his adolescence.

Lin Wanwan was lying on the table, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, staring at the milk that had been delivered by who-knows-who had given her a bitter and resentful look.

In the past few days, as the new students have gradually become acquainted, these outstanding girls in the class have quickly become the focus of attention throughout the school.

Lin Wanwan, in particular, is cheerful and sweet-looking. Every day, boys who try different ways to fawn over her could practically line up from the classroom door to the stairwell.

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow, a playful smile curving his lips.

"Wow, another update to the sweet drink category?"

As he joked, he leaned over with remarkable ease, his long, slender fingers deftly tracing through the bottles and jars, selecting a carton of chilled pure milk.

"I'm thirsty."

Before he could finish speaking, the straw pierced through the foil seal with a "pop".

Chen Zhi tilted his head back, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. After a few big gulps, the carton of milk was half deflated.

Lin Wanwan suddenly sat up straight, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

"You're going to die, Chen Zhi!"

The girl's coquettish voice carried a hint of annoyance as she swiftly reached out and pinched the soft flesh of his waist.

"hiss--"

Chen Zhi gasped, almost spitting out the milk in his mouth. He nimbly dodged Lin Wanwan's follow-up attack by tilting his body to the side.

"Relax, relax, it's turning green!"

Chen Zhi rubbed his lower back and looked at her with an innocent expression.

"I only drank one bottle of your milk, is it really necessary to go to such lengths? Anyway, you don't drink it, it's just taking up space here."

"But I didn't say I'd give it to you!"

Lin Wanwan puffed out her cheeks in anger.

"These were gifts from others, and I was planning to return them. Now that you've drunk them, how am I supposed to pay them back?"

"What do you mean 'return'? Those kids don't even dare leave their names when they deliver things. Who do you think you can return it to?"

Chen Zhi casually crushed the empty milk carton, tossed it through the air in a perfect parabola, and it landed precisely in the trash can in the back row.

"Besides, instead of wasting it, it's better to support the growing pillars of the nation. My morning run burns a lot of calories, so I need to replenish my protein."

He spoke with such confidence and without the slightest sense of shame about "getting something for free".

Lin Wanwan was rendered speechless by his twisted logic and could only glare at him resentfully.

"You're so shameless."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Chen Zhi responded with a grin, his gaze returning to the bottle of real fruit juice.

"This stuff is too sweet, I don't like it. And this carton of milk..."

He casually picked up the remaining carton of milk and tossed it to Li Zihan, who had just slumped into a chair.

"Here's your reward."

Just as Li Zihan was about to die of dehydration, her eyes lit up when she saw this. She hurriedly took the milk, not caring who gave it to her, and started sucking it up with the straw.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Brother Zhi, you are truly my brother!"

Seeing this, Lin Wanwan was completely speechless.

"You two bandits are so annoying."

Although she complained, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she even pushed the fruit juice on her table aside, as if afraid of blocking Chen Zhi from taking the book.

The third row on the other side of the classroom.

Li Jiahao gripped the ballpoint pen tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the excessive force.

He watched helplessly as Chen Zhi drank the carton of iced milk that he had specially gotten up early to rush to the convenience store to buy, and he was furious.

That was bought for Lin Wanwan!

He himself couldn't bear to drink it!

As a result, Lin Wanwan was not angry at all; instead, she flirted with Chen Zhi.

Li Jiahao felt like he was being cuckolded. Although he and Lin Wanwan had absolutely no relationship, it didn't stop him from feeling insulted.

"Chen Zhi..."

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out those two words, his eyes brimming with jealousy that seemed to burst forth in a tangible form.

Just then, the sound of high heels clicking on the ground came from the classroom doorway.

The homeroom teacher, Wang Qian, appeared at the door. She was dressed in a smart business suit today. Her gaze swept around the noisy classroom, finally settling on the last row.

"Chen Zhi".

Wang Qian waved.

"Take a few strong boys to the playground to get the military training uniforms. The other classes have already gone, so our class shouldn't fall behind."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi put the Chinese textbook he had just taken out back in.

"Okay."

He stood up and scanned the group of boys in the class.

"Li Zihan, stop pretending to be dead and get up to work."

Li Zihan had just finished drinking her milk and was about to lie down for a nap when she heard this, her face instantly fell, looking like a wilted eggplant.

"Brother Zhi... my legs are still shaking..."

"Go while shaking, it'll help flush out the acid."

Without saying a word, Chen Zhi slapped him on the back of the head, then randomly pointed to a few boys he had gotten to know better these past few days who looked rather strong.

"Hey you, the sports committee member, and that tall guy, come on, let's go move bricks with the class monitor."

A group of five or six boys walked out of the classroom in a grand procession.

A thin mist still hung over the playground in the early morning, and the air was filled with the scent of rubber track and grass.

The area in front of the stage was piled high with camouflage-colored packages, and the class representatives from each class were gathered there, arguing and shouting like middle-aged women grabbing discounted goods.

"Class 3, Grade 7! Over here!"

The teacher in charge of logistics held a roster in his hand and shouted at the top of his lungs.

Chen Zhi led his men over.

"Teacher, Class 3, Grade 7, get your uniforms."

"Count them yourself. Sizes S, M, and L are kept separate, so don't mix them up. There are 54 sets in total. The shoes are over there."

The teacher pointed to a pile of cardboard boxes next to them.

Chen Zhi nodded, then turned and directed, "Li Zihan, go count the shoes. Sports Committee member, take two people to count the clothes. I'll go over there and check the size charts."

Everyone had a clear division of labor and immediately got to work.

One of the boys, Zhang Wei, was particularly quick. He picked up a stack of clothes and piled them to the side, counting them rapidly, as if he wanted to finish the job in two minutes.

"one two three……"

Chen Zhi was checking the form when he caught a glimpse of Zhang Wei's hurried appearance and couldn't help but frown.

He walked over and gently kicked Zhang Wei's calf.

"What's the rush? Are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Zhang Wei paused, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Chen Zhi with a blank expression.

"Huh? Class monitor, shouldn't we hurry up and finish this and go back? Morning reading has already started for ten minutes, Teacher Wang is going to scold us later."

Chen Zhi gave him a disappointed look and lowered his voice to say:

"Are you stupid? What are you going back for? To memorize texts or vocabulary?"

He pointed to the lush trees by the playground, and then to the teaching building in the distance where the sound of students reading aloud could be heard.

"The air here is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and there are no teachers watching. Let's move slowly and carefully, and hopefully we can dawdle until the morning reading session ends."

Chen Zhi put his hands in his pockets, speaking with the air of someone who had been through it all.

"Being able to legitimately skip morning study sessions is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you know how to enjoy life?"

The boys around were taken aback at first, but then suddenly realized what he meant.

The confusion in Zhang Wei's eyes instantly turned into admiration, and he gave Chen Zhi a thumbs up.

"Holy crap, it has to be the class monitor! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

"No wonder you got first place in the grade, your mind really works fast!"

What was originally a hectic moving operation instantly turned into a "slow-motion replay".

The boys tacitly slowed down their movements and even began to take the time to examine the quality of the fabric of their military training uniforms.

Chen Zhi leaned against the parallel bars, watching the kids' clumsy acting, and shook his head with amusement.

Middle school students are so easy to fool.

After dawdling for about twenty minutes, Chen Zhicai waved his hand, guessing that the morning reading class was almost over.

"Alright, that's enough. Load up and let's go."

Several boys each carried a stack of clothes; although their hands were heavy, they were in a particularly good mood.

On the way back to the classroom, everyone started talking.

Without the pressure of the teacher, the conversation naturally circled back to the area that boys were most interested in—girls.

Zhang Wei walked beside Chen Zhi, adjusting the position of the clothes in his arms while winking and asking:

"Hey, class monitor, I just saw Lin Wanwan pinch your waist. You two... is there something going on?"

As soon as the question was asked, the ears of the surrounding boys perked up instantly, and they even slowed down their pace.

The fact that Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan have been going in and out together these past few days has already aroused everyone's speculation.

Chen Zhi didn't look at him directly, his tone flat: "What's going on? You're overthinking it."

"Tch, don't even try."

The other boy pursed his lips, looking completely unconvinced.

"I've seen it several times. You two always walk home together after school. Anyone else who drank that bottle of milk would have been beaten to death by Lin Wanwan. She really treats you differently."

"Yeah, yeah, class monitor, give us a hint, are you dating someone? Don't worry, we're tight-lipped, we definitely won't tell Sister Qian."

Just as Chen Zhi was about to say something to explain, Li Zihan, who had been holding back her words, suddenly couldn't help but speak up.

As "intelligence personnel" who possess core secrets, it would be like wearing fine clothes in the dark if they didn't show off at this time.

"Hey, you guys don't know anything!"

Li Zihan lifted the shoebox in her arms higher, a sense of superiority on her face as if she were the only one who was sober in a world of drunks.

"What's with this 'dating' stuff? That's so cliché!"

He cleared his throat, successfully attracting everyone's attention.

"Our class monitor and Lin Wanwan are genuine childhood sweethearts!"

"Childhood sweethearts?" Zhang Wei's eyes widened.

"Absolutely!"

Li Zihan looked smug, as if he himself was the childhood sweetheart.

"You wouldn't believe it, their fate was ordained by heaven. Same hospital, same delivery room, same day of birth! It's said their mothers were even in the same ward at the time!"

"Besides, their two families live right next door, with their balconies facing each other. They've been playing together since they were toddlers, were in the same class in kindergarten and elementary school, and are now in the same class in junior high."

Li Zihan spoke with great enthusiasm and vivid detail.

"What do you call this? This is called a bond! What's the big deal about those few bottles of cheap milk you gave them? That's a friendship built on childhood friendship!"

A collective gasp filled the air.

The way the boys looked at Chen Zhi changed instantly.

That was naked jealousy, so intense it was practically overflowing like lemon juice.

"Holy crap... this is so awesome!"

"Born on the same day and living next door? What kind of novel protagonist script is this?"

"It's over, completely hopeless. Who can possibly interfere in a relationship that's lasted over a decade?"

Zhang Wei wailed in despair, "If that kid Li Jiahao knew about this, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit blood on the spot."

Chen Zhi kicked Li Zihan speechlessly.

"You're wasting your talent not being a storyteller. Stop embellishing things and get out of here."

Li Zihan chuckled and nimbly dodged.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Now that Lin Wanwan was officially taken, the boys' attention quickly shifted to other targets.

"Forget it, we can't possibly be with Lin Wanwan. But we have plenty of beautiful girls in our class, like Pei Ningxue and Li Zhiyi, right?"

"Yes, yes, Li Zhiyi is also good. Although she doesn't talk much, she looks quiet and gentle, with that kind of delicate and refined feeling, which I like."

"Isn't Pei Ningxue even more stunning? Her aura, those long legs—she's practically an ice queen. She's just too cold; I feel like you'd get frostbite if you got within two meters of her."

"I still think Li Zhiyi is better. She looks so soft and sweet, she should be easy to win over..."

Zhang Wei was having a sweet dream when he suddenly felt Li Zihan next to him let out a mocking sneer.

"hehe."

The laughter was so jarring that Zhang Wei couldn't help but turn his head away.

"Fatty, what are you laughing at?"

Li Zihan looked at the group of ignorant teenagers with pity, shook his head, and spoke with an almost cruel sense of pleasure.

Do you think Li Zhiyi is easy to pursue?

"Isn't that right?"

Li Zihan sighed and looked wistfully at Chen Zhi, who was walking at the front.

"I have some bad news for you."

He paused, and amidst the expectant yet apprehensive gazes of the crowd, slowly dropped the second bombshell.

"Li Zhiyi is also our class monitor's childhood sweetheart."

The air suddenly became deathly silent.

Several boys stopped in their tracks, their military training uniforms nearly falling to the ground.

Zhang Wei's mouth dropped open, his jaw almost dislocated, as he pointed at Chen Zhi's back, his fingers trembling like a Parkinson's patient.

"What...what did you say?"

"I said, Li Zhiyi is also Zhi-ge's childhood friend."

Li Zihan shrugged and continued to deliver the final blow.

"Although it's not as exaggerated as Lin Wanwan's, we've known each other for six or seven years. We've been playing together since elementary school. Zhi-ge often goes to her house for meals, and Li Zhiyi's grandparents treat Zhi-ge like their own grandson."

"..."

silence.

A few seconds later, a series of eerie howls erupted down the corridor.

"Chen Zhi! You son of a bitch!"

"Are you even human?!"

"Some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in abundance! You're monopolizing two childhood sweethearts who are both school beauties, how are we supposed to live?!"

"Heavens above! Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?! I also want to live next door to Chen Zhi!"

Zhang Wei was filled with grief and indignation, feeling that his budding first love had been nipped in the bud before it even began.

He stared at the dashing young man in front of him, one hand in his pocket, his back to him, and his teeth clenched so tightly they clicked.

"That darn class monitor... stole my life!"

"How come this kind of person hasn't been put in a sack and beaten to death yet?"

Hearing the wails behind him, Chen Zhi's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Living a life like that of a protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel is indeed quite enjoyable.

Chen Zhi felt that the air quality was a bit better today.
