The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The heavy mahogany door of the private room slowly closed behind us.

The corridor was covered with thick handmade carpets, which made no sound when you stepped on them.

Pei Ningxue followed behind Chen Zhi, calling out, "Chen Zhi..."

Pei Ningxue quickened her pace, as if she wanted to say something.

Just then.

Chen Zhi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A pale blue light screen, visible only to him, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[The "Save Your Ex-Girlfriend" mission is complete.]

[Task Reward: Proficiency in High School Science (Already Issued)]

Chen Zhi couldn't help but almost burst out laughing.

That's good now.

Finally, I don't have to be a fallen genius anymore.

"What's wrong?"

Pei Ningxue was curious when she saw Chen Zhi suddenly stop, with an expression on his face as if he had won the lottery.

Just now in the private room he was acting like a high-class person who regarded money as dirt, how come he lost his composure as soon as he stepped out?

Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze and turned around.

Looking at the slightly apprehensive girl in front of him, he felt great.

He raised his hand and patted Pei Ningxue on the head in a very natural way.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that tonight's meal was worth it."

Pei Ningxue shrank her neck, but did not dodge.

My ears felt a little hot.

"My dad..."

Don't worry.

Chen Zhi withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and said with certainty, "Your wicked stepmother won't be so strict with you anymore."

Pei Ningxue nodded in confusion.

Although she didn't know where Chen Zhi's confidence came from, looking into the boy's bright eyes, the huge weight in her heart inexplicably lifted.

The two walked out of the private club one after the other.

The night breeze was cool, carrying away the aroma of wine and food that clung to my clothes.

Doorway.

The black Maybach remained parked in the same spot.

The driver had been waiting for a long time.

Upon seeing the two emerge, the driver immediately came to greet them.

He first respectfully opened the back door for Pei Ningxue, with one hand blocking the edge of the roof frame.

"Miss, please get in the car."

Pei Ningxue bent down and sat inside.

Chen Zhi didn't stand on ceremony and picked up his schoolbag to walk towards the other side of the car door.

After all, this is the city center, more than ten kilometers from home. Why not take advantage of the free luxury car?

however.

Just as his hand touched the doorknob.

A hand wearing a white glove suddenly appeared and pressed against the car door.

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow and looked at the driver.

The driver, with a smile on his face, blocked Chen Zhi's path.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."

The driver bowed slightly, his tone respectful yet distant, "President Pei instructed me to make sure you get the young lady home safely."

Chen Zhi pointed to the empty passenger seat.

"I don't mind sitting in the front."

"President Pei also gave instructions."

The driver's smile remained unchanged. "There are some confidential company documents in the car, which are not convenient for outsiders to ride in. The transportation here is very convenient, so Mr. Chen should have no problem getting back by himself."

Confidential documents?

That's a lie.

Why wasn't this rule in place when we arrived?

Chen Zhi understood instantly.

It's that old bastard Pei Dongcheng stirring up trouble.

I made myself lose face today, so now I'm resorting to these childish little acts of revenge.

The richer you are, the more petty you become.

The car window slowly rolled down.

Pei Ningxue looked at Chen Zhi, who was being blocked outside, and felt a little anxious.

"Uncle Wang, let him come up; it's on his way."

"Miss, this is Mr. Pei's strict order, I have no choice."

The driver looked troubled, but his body remained firmly in front of the car door, saying, "Please don't make things difficult for me."

Pei Ningxue bit her lip and pushed open the car door to get out.

"Then I won't sit down."

"Don't."

Chen Zhi reacted quickly, grabbing the car door and blocking Pei Ningxue from entering.

"It's hard to get a taxi here. You should go back first, so your dad doesn't catch you doing anything wrong."

Chen Zhi bent down and waved to Pei Ningxue through the car window, "Hurry up and go home, get some sleep early, and remember to let me copy your homework tomorrow."

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it."

Chen Zhi stood up and gestured with his chin to the driver, "Let's go, Mr. Wang, drive carefully."

The driver breathed a sigh of relief and quickly climbed into the driver's seat.

As if afraid that Chen Zhi would change his mind, he stepped on the gas.

The Maybach emitted a deep roar and slid into the night.

Only a string of red taillights remained.

Chen Zhi stood by the roadside, inhaling a mouthful of exhaust fumes.

"That's really good."

He took out his phone from his pocket, looked at the screen which showed "28 people in the queue," and couldn't help but give the middle finger in the direction where the Maybach disappeared.

"Pei Dongcheng, you just wait."

"Next time I come to your house for dinner, I'm going to open all the Moutai bottles in your house and stew them with meat."

……

Forty minutes later.

A Didi Express car stopped downstairs in the residential area.

Chen Zhi paid the fare, picked up his schoolbag, and climbed out of the carriage.

I took the elevator back to my front door.

Chen Zhi hummed a little tune as he took out his keys from his pocket.

Just aligned with the keyhole.

"Click".

A soft sound suddenly came from behind.

Followed by.

A cool breeze blew against the back of my neck.

Chen Zhi froze as he inserted the key.

Without turning around, he could feel the resentment that was almost solidified.

It's like in a horror movie, where the protagonist is about to open the door when a female ghost lies on his back and blows air on him.

Even the familiar scent of shower gel carried a hint of murderous intent.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath and adjusted his expression.

Turn around.

really.

The security door of Lin Wanwan's house next door was slightly ajar.

The lights were not on.

In the darkness, half of a fair face was pressed against the crack in the door, revealing only a resentful eye.

Her long hair was loose.

And that white nightgown.

"Whoa!"

Chen Zhi took an exaggerated step back, patted his chest, and said, "Lin Wanwan, are you cosplaying Sadako at night? You're terrifying!"

The eye peeking through the crack in the door didn't even blink.

She stared intently at him.

My gaze swept over him, finally settling on his stomach.

"Is it tasty?"

The voice was light and airy, as if it were squeezed out from between the teeth.

Chen Zhi feigned ignorance: "What's delicious?"

"Australian Dragon".

Lin Wanwan's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible grievance, "And abalone, shark fin."

"I just saw the photos Pei Ningxue posted on her WeChat Moments."

"That meal must have cost tens of thousands, right?"

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

Careless.

Pei Ningxue usually doesn't say much and rarely posts in the class group chat, so why did she suddenly post on her WeChat Moments today?

"cough."

Chen Zhi cleared his throat, his mind racing.

If you dare to say it's delicious now, this day next year will be your death anniversary.

He took a step forward and walked to Lin Wanwan's door.

In the dim light of the hallway, I could see the little face that was filled with "I'm not happy" and "Come and comfort me."

"Don't even mention it."

Chen Zhi waved his hand, looking disgusted, "That thing looks good, but it doesn't taste good at all."

Lin Wanwan looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"

Why would I lie to you?

Chen Zhi complained earnestly, "The lobster meat was as tough as tree bark, it got stuck in my teeth. The abalone wasn't flavorful at all, it had a fishy smell. And that shark fin stuff, it was no different from vermicelli."

"The most crucial thing is..."

Chen Zhi moved closer, staring into Lin Wanwan's watery eyes.

The distance between the two instantly closed.

You can hear their breathing.

Lin Wanwan subconsciously held her breath, her fingers gripping the door frame tightening slightly.

"Without Wanwan by my side, even the best food just doesn't taste right."

Chen Zhi's voice deepened, tinged with amusement, "It's like chewing wax, so uncomfortable."

The air was silent for two seconds.

Lin Wanwan's originally tense face visibly turned red.

"Glib-tongued."

Lin Wanwan muttered something and opened the door completely.

She was wearing fluffy bunny slippers and hugging a cushion.

"Where's Xiaobai?"

Chen Zhi peeked inside. "Didn't they say on the phone that it was so hungry it wanted to bite someone?"

On the sofa in the living room.

Little White was lying on its back on the mat, drooling and occasionally twitching its legs, clearly having a sweet dream.

Look at that round belly, he definitely ate a lot for dinner.

The lie was exposed on the spot.

Lin Wanwan wasn't embarrassed at all.

She pointed at the silly dog ​​with a self-righteous air: "It was hungry just now, but it's full now, is that not allowed?"

"Okay, okay, okay."

Chen Zhi dared not say no.

He tossed his backpack onto the entryway cabinet and skillfully slipped on his men's slippers.

"Since Little White is full, what about you?"

As Chen Zhi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen, he said, "Someone hasn't had dinner yet because they were waiting for me, has they?"

Lin Wanwan followed behind him like a little tail.

"I'm so angry I'm full."

He said that, but his stomach honestly let out a "groan".

It was unusually loud in the quiet room.

Lin Wanwan's face turned even redder, and in a fit of embarrassment and anger, she threw the pillow at Chen Zhi's back.

"Chen Zhi! What are you laughing at!"

Chen Zhiwen caught the pillow steadily and stuffed it back into her arms.

I didn't laugh.

He opened the refrigerator and skillfully took out two eggs, a handful of noodles, and a few small green vegetables.

"Go sit on the sofa for ten minutes."

"I want two fried eggs."

Lin Wanwan stood at the kitchen doorway, hugging a cushion, and did not go to the living room.

She watched as Chen Zhi skillfully lit the fire, boiled water, and chopped scallions.

The warm yellow light shone on the boy's profile, highlighting his prominent nose.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um?"

"I want to eat sausage too, the kind cut into the shape of an octopus."

Is it childish or not?

Despite his complaints, Chen Zhi honestly took out a sausage and began slicing it into decorative shapes.

The water has boiled.

White steam rose up, blurring the boy's features.

Lin Wanwan couldn't help but smile as she watched this scene.

That eldest daughter of the Pei family.

Even if you have a Maybach to ride in and Australian lobster to eat, so what?

This bowl of noodles that Chen Zhi made.

Only she can eat it.

Chen Zhi turned off the heat and put the noodles into a bowl.

The steaming bowl of plain noodles is topped with two golden poached eggs, a few vibrant green vegetables, and a ham sausage shaped like an octopus.

Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onions and drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil.

The aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.

"Take it out to eat."

Chen Zhi handed the bowl to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan cheered and ran towards the restaurant with her bowl in her hand.

Chen Zhi watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.

"Chen Zhi! Hurry up, the noodles are going to clump together!"

Lin Wanwan's indistinct voice urged them on from inside the restaurant.

"They're here."

Chen Zhi turned off the kitchen light.

He strode towards the place with warm lights and the girl.
