The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The classroom, which had been bustling with activity as students packed their bags, suddenly went silent, as if a pause button had been pressed. Dozens of eyes turned and focused on the pink, fragrant envelope in Chen Zhi's hand.

"Wow, more juicy gossip?"

"Our class monitor's luck with women is too good! He just finished drinking Miss Pei's cola, and now he's receiving love letters again?"

In the back corner, Li Jiahao, who had just been helped back to his chair by his two followers, was still wincing in pain, but upon hearing this, he immediately perked up.

Ignoring the swelling and pain in his ankle, he craned his neck to look this way, unable to suppress the schadenfreude on his face.

Should!

You, Chen Zhi, are always flirting with other women!

Lin Wanwan may look cute and innocent, but when she gets angry, she's a real firecracker. And if she were to actually complain to Chen Zhi's notoriously strict mother, Chen Zhi would be in serious trouble.

Li Jiahao was ecstatic, as if he had completely redeemed himself after losing face on the basketball court. He mentally screamed: "Fight! Fight already! I hope Lin Wanwan runs out crying right there, and Chen Zhi is utterly disgraced!"

Why are you shouting so loudly?

Chen Zhi felt a ringing in his ears and helplessly picked at them. "Are you afraid others won't know?"

"You still dare to talk back!"

Lin Wanwan's cheeks puffed out in anger. She slammed her schoolbag on the table, pointed at the pink envelope, and said aggressively, "Chen Zhi, you're something else! It's only been a few days since school started, and you've already accepted love letters! Do you even care about studying anymore? I'm going to tell Auntie that you're having a puppy love affair at school!"

Li Zhiyi stood to the side, clutching the pencil case she hadn't yet put into her schoolbag. Her eyes were dim, and she bit her lip, remaining silent. Her large, watery eyes were filled with grievance, making one's heart ache.

"What do you mean by 'puppy love'? I don't even know who put that idea in my head."

Chen Zhi also looked completely bewildered.

He held the envelope to his nose and smelled it.

Wow, that's impressive.

Not only was it pink, but it also wore that cheap perfume that was so overpowering it was almost intoxicating.

"Still smelling it! Are you enjoying it?" Lin Wanwan said sourly. "Hurry up and open it! I want to see which vixen has such terrible taste that even you would be interested in it!"

The students around them held their breath, craning their necks as if they wished they had X-ray vision.

Chen Zhi shrugged. "Since everyone wants to see it, then let's watch it."

His long, slender fingers pinched a corner of the envelope, and with a ripping sound, he tore the seal open.

There were no dried flower petals or heart-shaped origami pieces inside, only a crumpled piece of notebook paper, folded several times.

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow; this feeling...something's not right.

Are girls these days so perfunctory when writing love letters? They can't even bear to buy a decent piece of stationery?

He slowly unfolded the note.

The handwriting was crooked and messy, like a dog crawling, and it was written with great force. Some strokes even pierced the back of the paper, revealing a kind of gritted teeth hatred.

The text above is just a short line:

Meet me in the grove behind the school after school! If you're a man, don't run away! — Zhu Jianming

Chen Zhi: "..."

He stared at the pink heart sticker, then looked at the menacing challenge, and his lips twitched uncontrollably.

What kind of weirdo is this?

Zhu Jianming?

The memories in his mind stirred slightly, and Chen Zhi remembered.

Isn't this the same guy who kept pestering Lin Wanwan a few days ago, insisting on bringing her milk, only to have it snatched away by him and drink it like water for a week?

So this guy finally realized he'd been made a fool of, and that's why he's here to settle things?

Let's settle this score then.

Why don't you use an envelope?

Why does it have to be pink, with a heart on it, and some perfume on it?

Is this a duel or a confession?

Chen Zhi felt a chill run down his spine, and goosebumps rose all over his body. Was Zhu Jianming perhaps suffering from some serious illness, or was he trying to horrify him to death so he could inherit his Ant Credit Pay account?

"What did it say? Read it aloud!"

Seeing Chen Zhi's strange expression and his silence for a long time, Lin Wanwan felt even more jealous.

She thought Chen Zhi was moved by the sweet words in the love letter, or that the other person's writing was too explicit for him to read aloud.

"I refuse to believe I can write anything fancy!"

Lin Wanwan could no longer hold back and snatched the note from Chen Zhi's hand.

"Dear Brother Chen Zhi..." she subconsciously began to read it aloud in that sarcastic tone.

However, after only a few words, her voice caught in her throat.

She blinked her big eyes twice, staring at the words on the note repeatedly to confirm them.

Behind the school... in the grove... was a man... Zhu Jianming?

Lin Wanwan was stunned.

Her already flushed face instantly became even more fascinating.

Her outburst just now was like punching cotton; it not only failed to hit anyone, but also almost strained her back.

"puff……"

Seeing her dazed expression, Chen Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Keep reading! Why did you stop? Weren't you quite enthusiastic just now? Come on, louder! Let everyone hear this Zhu Jianming sister's heartfelt confession to me."

"You! You're so annoying!"

Lin Wanwan realized what was happening and was so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She crumpled the tattered paper into a ball and threw it hard at Chen Zhi. "Who told him to use this kind of envelope! He's a pervert!"

The classmates who had been listening intently to the gossip were also dumbfounded.

"Zhu Jianming? Who's that? Are there any girls like that in our grade?"

"What the hell is this girl? She seems to be in Class 1, the one who comes to deliver milk every day."

"Holy crap? A guy wrote Chen Zhi a pink love letter? And they even went to the woods?"

"This is a lot of information..."

What started as a sex scandal instantly transformed into a suspenseful drama brimming with homoerotic undertones, and everyone's gaze towards Chen Zhi became even more bizarre.

Li Zhiyi, who had been on tenterhooks, also came over to take a look at the contents of the note.

When she saw that the signature was a boy's and that it was a challenge to a fight, the girl breathed a long sigh of relief, her tense shoulders instantly relaxed, and color returned to her face.

As long as it's not a girl, it's fine.

"Alright, alright, everyone disperse, there's nothing to see here."

Chen Zhi picked up the crumpled paper, casually tossed it behind him, and the paper flew through the air in a graceful arc before landing precisely in the trash can at the back corner of the classroom.

"Let's go home and eat, I'm starving."

He slung his backpack over his shoulder, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered out of the classroom.

"Hey? Aren't you going?"

Lin Wanwan jogged up to catch up, her blush still lingering on her face. "They're already waiting for you in the grove. If you're a man, don't run away."

"If he says I'm a man, then I am? If he says I'm Ultraman, do I have to transform for him?"

Chen Zhi rolled his eyes. "I'd be crazy to go to such an idiot. I'd rather go home and do a couple more practice problems, or decide whether to have braised pork or sweet and sour pork ribs for dinner."

"But..." Li Zhiyi said softly, "What if he keeps waiting?"

"Then let him wait. It's good for him to feed the mosquitoes and contribute to the ecological balance of the school." Chen Zhi didn't care at all.

The three walked out of the classroom side by side.

As Chen Zhi passed by Li Jiahao, he stopped in his tracks.

Li Jiahao was listening intently when Chen Zhi stopped, and he was so startled that he instinctively shrank back.

"What are you looking at? Doesn't your foot hurt anymore?" Chen Zhi looked at him with a half-smile.

"Hmph! Chen Zhi, don't be so smug!" Li Jiahao forced a smile, gritting his teeth as he said, "You've messed with Zhu Jianming. He's a Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) practitioner. You're dead!"

"oh."

Chen Zhi gave a nonchalant reply, then turned to Lin Wanwan and said, "Did you hear that? There's someone else here who's tipping you off."

After saying that, without caring that Li Jiahao was so angry that his face turned purple, Chen Zhi led his two childhood sweethearts away amidst envious glances from everyone.

……

As the sun sets and dusk approaches, the sky grows dark.

The grove of trees behind the school is a sanctuary for couples on campus, and also a prime spot for delinquents to pick fights.

At this moment, deep in the woods.

Zhu Jianming was striking what he thought was a cool pose, leaning against an old locust tree.

He had a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, his eyes sharply fixed on the path leading here.

For today's duel, he specially changed into a black, tight-fitting vest, revealing the barely visible muscle definition on his arms. He also called two buddies to crouch in the bushes not far away, ready to give Chen Zhi a taste of his own medicine when he arrived, and show him the consequences of lying!

"Jianming, it's already 6:30, why hasn't that kid come yet?"

From the bushes, a younger brother whose legs were numb from squatting peeked out, swatting mosquitoes off his neck and complaining.

"What's the rush!"

Zhu Jianming spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth and said in a deliberately profound tone, "That kid is definitely doing some mental preparation, or he's gone home to get help. Humph, no matter who he calls, I'm going to make him vomit up every drop of milk he's drunk today!"

Another half hour passed.

It was completely dark.

The mosquitoes in the woods swarmed around the three of them like they were having a buffet party.

"Snapped!"

Zhu Jianming slapped his face hard, killing a mosquito whose belly was swollen from sucking blood, leaving a bloody mark on his face.

"Damn it! Is this kid lost?"

He took out his phone and checked the time.

It's exactly 7 o'clock.

The school gates will probably have to be locked.

That ominous premonition grew stronger and stronger.

"Brother Jianming... I'm hungry too, shall we head back?" The two underlings in the bushes couldn't stand up any longer and stood up, stomping their feet frantically, trying to shake off the mosquito bites on their legs.

Zhu Jianming looked at the empty path, where only the rustling of leaves in the wind could be heard. There was not a trace of Chen Zhi.

A cool breeze blew by.

Zhu Jianming felt a chill run through him.

He finally realized something extremely cruel.

He got stood up.

Moreover, he was completely ignored by that pretty boy who drank his milk for a week and had his goddess completely infatuated with him.

That pink envelope, that carefully chosen heart-shaped sticker, was originally prepared for Lin Wanwan. He poured his heart and soul into writing a love letter, but in the morning he learned the devastating news that Lin Wanwan was also Chen Zhiqing's childhood sweetheart.

To avoid wasting anything, I had to make use of the waste and stuff the challenge letter into a pink envelope.

Seeing that Chen Zhi hadn't arrived yet, he felt that all the careful preparation and long wait of the afternoon had been...

In Chen Zhi's eyes, it probably doesn't even amount to a fart!

An immense sense of humiliation surged to the top of my head.

"Chen Zhi!!!"

Zhu Jianming looked up at the sky and let out a long, mournful cry, which startled a whole forest of birds.

"You coward! You have no sportsmanship! I, Zhu Jianming, will never let you get away with this!!"

"Achoo!"

Chen Zhi, who was sitting at his dining table and putting a piece of braised pork into his mouth, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"What's wrong? Have you caught a cold?" Zhang Guifang asked with concern.

"without."

Chen Zhi rubbed his nose, stuffed a piece of braised pork into his mouth, and mumbled, "I guess it's someone who has a crush on me thinking about me."

"You're so vain." Zhang Guifang rolled her eyes at him. "Hurry up and eat. After you finish, go do your homework. Don't think you can get cocky just because you're the class monitor."

Chen Zhi chuckled and lowered his head to eat his rice.

As for that unlucky guy who's still feeding mosquitoes in the woods?

Who cares.

However, Chen Zhi clearly underestimated the level of grudges held by teenage boys, and even more so, the speed at which the "pink envelope" incident escalated within the school.

The next morning, the moment Chen Zhigang stepped into the classroom, he sensed that something was off.

The originally lively morning reading class fell silent for a second the moment he entered.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes seemed to drift towards his desk.

Chen Zhi followed everyone's gaze.

On his desk, there was a bottle of pink... strawberry milk?

There was also a piece of paper under the milk.

Chen Zhi walked over and picked up the paper.

The familiar scribbles and the same penetrating hatred still pierced the paper, only this time the content changed:

You can ignore my challenge, but you can't trample on my dignity! We'll have a basketball game on the playground at noon today! Whoever loses has to shout "I'm a pig" three times on the playground! — Zhu Jianming

He planned to defeat Chen Zhi in his area of ​​expertise, and show Lin Wanwan who the real man was.

Chen Zhi looked at the strawberry milk in his hand, then at the challenge letter that exuded a cringeworthy, adolescent vibe, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This guy is really an unkillable cockroach.

Chen Zhi touched his chin.

"He's quite filial."

Chen Zhi casually inserted a straw into the strawberry milk and took a sip.

Hmm? Something feels a little off.

Just then, a slight sound of a chair being pulled out came from the seat next to me.

Pei Ningxue has arrived.

She maintained her aloof demeanor as usual, walking straight to her seat without glancing to the side.

However, when she saw the bottle of pink strawberry milk in Chen Zhi's hand, a very strange look suddenly flashed in her originally calm eyes.

She stared at the bottle of milk for a full three seconds, then slowly spoke, her voice as clear and crisp as ice beads falling onto a plate:

"This milk..."

"Oh, a gift from someone." Chen Zhi shook the milk bottle in his hand, smiling brightly. "What, do you want some too, deskmate?"

Pei Ningxue did not respond.

She gave Chen Zhi a deep look, then took a book out of her bag and opened it.

Just when Chen Zhi thought the conversation was over, Pei Ningxue suddenly blurted out another sentence:

"Those are expired items that Zhu Jianming bought yesterday. I saw them at the convenience store yesterday."

"puff--!!!"

Chen Zhi spat out a mouthful of strawberry milk.

Why didn't you say so sooner?

"You didn't ask either." Pei Ningxue blinked her beautiful eyes.

It's despicable that pretty girls are all black-hearted.
