The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Chen Zhi put on his shoes and stomped his feet twice on the spot.

The hard, unyielding feeling underfoot completely disappeared, replaced by a soft, bouncy sensation like walking on clouds. The extra-long 420mm night-wear version truly lived up to its name, with moderate thickness and excellent support, perfectly filling the gap between the sole of the inferior rubber shoe and the ball of the foot.

He nodded in satisfaction.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the classroom door.

Zhu Jianming ran back, covered in sweat, clutching a carton of fresh milk still dripping with water.

He spotted Chen Zhi in the crowd at a glance and hurriedly pulled Chen Zhi to a quiet spot in the corridor.

"Brother, I have not failed you!"

Zhu Jianming shoved the carton of chilled fresh milk into Chen Zhi's hand, lowering his voice.

"The convenience store was packed this morning. It was so hard to buy some. It really is pasteurized milk with only a seven-day shelf life, and it was ice cold."

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow, his fingertips touching the cold condensation on the milk carton.

This kid is really an honest person.

"I'm leaving it to you, brother." Zhu Jianming said sincerely, putting his hands together in a gesture of respect. "I'll bring you a bottle next time as a token of my appreciation."

Chen Zhi unceremoniously stuffed the milk into his pocket, patted Zhu Jianming on the shoulder, and gave him a look that said, "The organization trusts you."

"No problem, leave it to me. As long as I'm here, your feelings will definitely be conveyed."

As for how this substance is delivered and whose stomach it ends up in, that's another matter entirely.

Zhu Jianming received the assurance, and his face immediately lit up with a smile. He walked away, turning back every few steps, as if he could already see the goddess's touched smile after drinking the milk.

After confirming that Zhu Jianming had completely disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Chen Zhicai leisurely strolled back to the classroom.

He sat down, skillfully unpacked the straw, and popped the seal with a "snap".

The cool, rich milk flowed into my mouth through the straw.

It has to be said that fresh milk tastes better than regular milk.

"Slurp—"

Chen Zhi was enjoying his smoking when a cold snort suddenly came from the side.

Lin Wanwan turned around at some point, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed, her gaze lingering on the milk carton in Chen Zhi's hand, her tone sour.

"Wow, it's only been a short time since school started, and a girl is already bringing fresh milk to the class monitor?"

She emphasized the words "girl" and pouted slightly.

She had just seen Chen Zhi sneakily meeting with someone in the corridor, and when he came back, he had a carton of milk in his hand.

It's only been a few days, isn't this guy's luck with women a bit too strong?

Chen Zhi, with a straw in his mouth, mumbled a reply.

Don't get jealous unnecessarily.

Lin Wanwan blushed, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and instantly bristled.

"Who's jealous! I'm just worried you'll get a stomachache from drinking too much, and then you'll poop in your pants during military training and embarrass our class!"

Chen Zhi waved the milk carton in front of her, a half-smile on his face.

"This isn't for me, it's for you."

Lin Wanwan paused for a moment, looking at him suspiciously.

"Sent to me? By whom?"

"Who else could it be? The guy who gave you the real fruit juice yesterday, of course." Chen Zhi shrugged. "He heard you don't like sweet drinks, so he went out of his way to buy fresh milk. But I figured you don't know him anyway, so you probably wouldn't accept it. To avoid wasting food, I reluctantly helped you out."

He spoke with such conviction, as if he had done something incredibly selfless.

Lin Wanwan was so angry at his twisted logic that she laughed.

"So, you drank my milk, and I should thank you?"

"No need." Chen Zhimeng took a big gulp, crushed the empty box, and casually tossed it into the trash can in the back. "With our relationship, we're practically family. Next time, let him buy two boxes, one for each of us."

"You're so shameless."

Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes and turned away, ignoring him, but her previously tense lips quietly relaxed.

Since it was a gift from someone else, it's fine.

As long as it's not a girl that Chen Zhi himself provoked, it's fine.

……

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sun was blazing over the playground.

A sharp whistle shattered the tranquility of the campus, officially kicking off the military training for the first-year junior high students.

Instructor Tang, who struck fear into the hearts of all the freshmen, made his reappearance.

He stood upright, pacing back and forth at the front of the line with his hands behind his back.

"Attention, everyone! Stand at attention!"

"At ease!"

"stand at attention!"

"Stand at attention for half an hour! Anyone who dares to move even slightly will have the whole class do extra practice for ten minutes!"

Instructor Tang's voice echoed above the formation.

For these students who are usually pampered, the first day of military training was nothing short of hell.

The September sun was still scorching, baking the earth without any shade.

Less than ten minutes later, a commotion began to break out in the line.

Sweat streamed down their foreheads and into their eyes, stinging and burning, yet no one dared to reach out and wipe it away.

The most dangerous thing is the feet.

The rubber shoes issued by the school had thin and hard soles, so wearing them made no difference compared to not wearing them at all.

Many people have started to subtly shift their weight in an attempt to relieve the soreness in their feet.

Li Jiahao, who was standing next to Chen Zhi, turned green with rage.

Damn it, what a piece of junk!

Li Jiahao gritted his teeth, his forehead covered in more cold sweat than hot sweat.

He secretly glanced at Chen Zhi beside him, hoping to see the same pained expression on Chen Zhi's face, so that he could gain some psychological balance.

However, he was disappointed.

Chen Zhi stood ramrod straight, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his face calm and serene, even gazing at the distant clouds with a leisurely air.

His relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if he were on vacation in Hawaii, rather than undergoing military training.

How is that possible?

Li Jiahao roared inwardly.

Are that kid's feet made of iron? Doesn't it hurt?

Not only Chen Zhi, but Lin Wanwan in the front row and Li Zhiyi next to her also looked relaxed.

Although the two girls looked delicate, they stood more steadily than anyone else under the scorching sun.

Lin Wanwan even had the energy to secretly turn around and make a face at Chen Zhi when the instructor turned around.

Li Zhiyi stood quietly, her expression serene.

These three people are simply outliers in the formation.

"Hey boy! What are you looking at! I'm talking to you!"

Instructor Tang's sharp gaze pierced Li Jiahao.

"What are you doing?! Step forward! Do twenty squats!"

Li Jiahao was struck dumb, and under the sympathetic gazes of his classmates, he reluctantly moved out of the line.

……

The long day has finally come to an end.

When the dismissal whistle blew, a chorus of wailing and howling filled the entire playground.

The students of Class 3, Grade 7 looked like defeated soldiers who had just retreated from the battlefield, dragging their heavy legs back to the classroom.

The air was thick with the smell of sweat and rubber from rubber shoes.

"I can't go on... my legs are ruined..."

As soon as she entered the classroom, Li Zihan threw her schoolbag on the table and slumped into her chair like a lump of mud.

He bent over in pain, trying to untie his shoelaces, but found his fingers trembling so badly he couldn't muster any strength.

"Is the sole of these shoes made of steel? I feel like the soles of my feet are going to wear through."

The surrounding classmates echoed their sentiments, and complaints rose and fell.

"My heels are all blistered and it hurts so much."

"I have to stand all day tomorrow, I can't take it anymore."

Amidst the gloomy and somber atmosphere, Chen Zhi appeared out of place.

He walked to his seat, looking refreshed, and quickly packed his schoolbag.

Li Zihan lay on the table, tilting her head, looking at Chen Zhi with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"Brother Zhi...you're my own brother..." Li Zihan groaned weakly. "Don't your feet hurt? You seem perfectly fine. Are we even wearing the same shoes?"

Chen Zhi stuffed the textbook into his schoolbag, zipped it up, and glanced back at him.

"Hehe, I told you to go for a morning run with me earlier, but you insisted on sleeping in."

He patted Li Zihan on the shoulder and began to persuade her earnestly.

"That's the difference in physical strength, understand? Strong core strength means a stable stance and even weight distribution on your feet. You weakling, of course, can't do that."

Li Zihan was taken aback by what he said, but she quickly came to her senses.

That's not right.

What does having good physical strength have to do with whether your feet hurt or not?

Even if Tyson came, he'd be in pain after standing on bricks all day!

"This isn't a matter of physical strength!" Li Zihan struggled to sit up straight, pointing to her swollen, red heels. "These shoes are unfit for human wear! Unless you have calluses on your feet!"

He suddenly seemed to have discovered some blind spot, his gaze sweeping over Lin Wanwan and Li Zhiyi, who had already packed their things and were preparing to leave.

Lin Wanwan was chatting and laughing with Li Zhiyi, walking lightly without showing any signs of limping.

The whole class was groaning, but these three people seemed to have activated an invincible cheat code.

"wrong!"

Li Zihan's eyes widened suddenly, her suspicious gaze sweeping back and forth across Chen Zhi's face.

"How come you and Lin Wanwan are all okay? Our whole class has blisters on our feet, even the sports committee member was limping just now."

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. He leaned closer to Chen Zhi, lowered his voice, and asked mysteriously:

"Brother Zhi, are you hiding something good from me again? Do you have some secret technique?"

Chen Zhi paused.

He looked at Li Zihan's face, which was full of thirst for knowledge, and chuckled to himself.

This kid usually doesn't think things through, but his intuition is surprisingly accurate in situations like this.

However, if this "secret" were revealed, the shoes of all the boys in the class would probably be stuffed with sanitary napkins tomorrow.

The scene was too beautiful for him to imagine.

Moreover, this is a little secret between him and his two childhood sweethearts, how could it be easily revealed to outsiders?

"roll."

Chen Zhi uttered a single word concisely, slung his backpack over one shoulder, and completely ignored Li Zihan's entanglement.

"Hey? Zhi-ge, don't go! Give me a hint!"

Li Zihan tried to reach out and pull Chen Zhi back, but her legs gave way and she almost fell to the ground.

Chen Zhi waved without turning his head and strode out of the classroom.

The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the corridor, casting a long shadow of him.

In the classroom, Li Jiahao saw Chen Zhi's dashing departing figure.

"Damn it...this guy is definitely faking it!"

Li Jiahao cursed angrily, but he couldn't hide the deep sense of defeat in his eyes.

Why is it that this guy can even fake standing at attention?

He didn't understand, but he was deeply shocked.

Chen Zhi walked out of the teaching building and took a deep breath of the cool evening air.

At the school gate, Lin Wanwan and Li Zhiyi were waiting for him, pushing their bicycles.

Seeing him come out, Lin Wanwan raised an eyebrow and pointed to her feet.

"Hey, Chen Zhi, your magic tool really works! I'm not tired at all today."

Li Zhiyi nodded in agreement, her little face full of admiration.

"Mmm, it's soft and feels so good."

Chen Zhi walked over, hopped on his bicycle, and gave the two of them a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"That's right, look who came up with the idea."

"Alright, stop showing off." Lin Wanwan rolled her eyes at him, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips. "As a reward, I'm treating you to grilled sausages tonight, all you can eat!"

"Two?"

"One! Take it or leave it!"

The boy's laughter, accompanied by the sound of the bicycle bell, faded into the distance in the evening breeze.
