The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The atmosphere in the office was somewhat heavy.

Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan stood side by side.

On the other side of the desk, Pei Ningxue had already arrived at the office and was standing quietly next to the homeroom teacher.

Wang Qian looked at the two who seemed like a perfect match and let out a long sigh.

"Tell me about it."

Wang Qian put down her cup, her gaze swept across the three faces, and finally settled on Chen Zhi.

"Although I've always emphasized to you that your parents support you doing these things, and as long as it doesn't affect your studies, I'll turn a blind eye to some things. But I didn't expect you to turn the classroom into a film set for an idol drama, did I?"

Chen Zhi blinked innocently.

"Teacher, I'm innocent!"

He spread his hands, his tone very sincere.

"We were just sharing food and trying to strengthen our friendship."

Stop arguing with me.

Wang Qian rolled her eyes at him, then casually pulled a slip of paper from under the stack of notebooks and slapped it on the table.

"Look, what's this?"

Chen Zhi peeked out.

The note bore a line of crooked handwriting: [Report! Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan were openly feeding each other in the classroom, severely damaging the class's learning atmosphere. Severe punishment is recommended!]

"Someone has already complained to me about it."

Wang Qian pointed at the note and said with a disappointed expression.

"You two were flirting in front of so many people at school, and so many classmates saw it. This morning, twice as many students from other classes passed by our classroom door as usual, all to come and see what was going on."

Chen Zhi glanced at Lin Wanwan beside him.

The girl had her head down, her hands clasped behind her back, and her fair face was flushed, the blush spreading all the way to her ears.

Although she was shy, she couldn't suppress the slight upturn of her lips.

Clearly, she was more than happy with the label of "flirting".

"Teacher, we really didn't talk about it."

Chen Zhi reiterated his defense, his tone firm.

"We grew up together, and I treat Lin Wanwan like a younger sister."

Wang Qian was so angry she laughed.

She pointed at Chen Zhi, then at Lin Wanwan.

"Normal? What kind of siblings flirt and banter in public? What kind of siblings act like they're in a palace drama just having a meal together?"

She paused, her tone becoming slightly more serious.

"Chen Zhi, Lin Wanwan, both of your grades are very stable right now. I don't want you to be distracted by these trivial matters. Especially Lin Wanwan, your grades aren't as good as Chen Zhi's, so don't let these things affect your grades."

Lin Wanwan nodded obediently, her voice barely audible.

"Understood, teacher."

Seeing the two of them like this, Wang Qian didn't dare to say anything harsh.

After all, although these two kids are mischievous, they are usually well-behaved, except for showing off their affection to their classmates every day at school.

Moreover, the permissive attitude of both sets of parents made her job as the homeroom teacher very difficult.

"You must be more restrained next time."

Wang Qian rubbed her temples and issued an ultimatum.

"If I receive another report like this, or if I see you two making a scene in the classroom again, I'll have to separate you two. Don't blame me for being ruthless and changing your classes."

Upon hearing the words "shift change," Lin Wanwan abruptly raised her head, a hint of panic flashing in her almond-shaped eyes.

Wang Qian waved her hand helplessly.

"Alright, let's go back now."

Chen Zhi felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed Lin Wanwan's wrist and pulled her outside.

"Goodbye, teacher. You've worked hard, teacher. Please drink more hot water."

The two of them dashed out of the office.

With a click, the office fell silent again.

Wang Qian picked up her thermos again and turned her gaze to Pei Ningxue, who had remained silent.

Pei Ningxue maintained her elegant posture, her expression aloof, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

"Did you see that?"

Wang Qian pointed towards the doorway, her tone becoming earnest.

"They were childhood sweethearts, growing up together since they were little. Their relationship is something that outsiders can't easily interfere with."

Although young, Wang Qian, as a homeroom teacher, has a keen eye for people.

Pei Ningxue had long noticed Chen Zhi's special feelings for her.

Anyone with eyes can see the tension in today's "palace intrigue".

"Pei Ningxue, you are a smart child, from a good family, beautiful, and have excellent grades."

Wang Qian softened her voice, sounding like a caring older sister.

"You'll meet many excellent guys in the future, whether in college or in your wider social circle. There's no need to hang yourself on this one tree, especially since someone's already on it."

She's already been very direct in her words.

In her opinion, why should a proud and privileged woman like Pei Ningxue get involved in such troublesome matters? In the end, she would only be the one who gets hurt.

Pei Ningxue lowered her eyes slightly, her long eyelashes trembling a few times.

She remained silent for a moment.

Just when Wang Qian thought she had listened, Pei Ningxue suddenly looked up.

In those clear, cool eyes, there was no sign of retreat or disappointment, but rather a burning light of unwavering determination.

"But teacher."

Pei Ningxue's voice was soft, yet every word was clear.

"Didn't Chen Zhi just say that they weren't dating yet?"

Wang Qian's hand, holding the thermos, froze in mid-air.

She opened her mouth, but for a moment she was speechless.

"this……"

Wang Qian tried to explain.

"That's because they haven't yet broken the ice; actually..."

"Since you're not dating, then you're single."

Pei Ningxue interrupted Wang Qian, her tone calm.

"Everyone has a chance if they are single."

Wang Qian: "..."

She suddenly felt a headache.

Why are all the students in this year's class so difficult to manage?

Pei Ningxue bowed slightly and gave a polite greeting.

"Teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now. I need to preview the material for the next class."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the door.

Wang Qian watched the door close again and slammed her thermos on the table.

"What kind of mess is this?!"

……

In the corridor.

Chen Zhi had his hands in his pockets, with Lin Wanwan beside him.

A figure suddenly darted out from the storage room next door.

"stop!"

Li Jiahao suddenly darted out from around the corner, spreading his arms wide to block their path.

"Come with me!"

Li Jiahao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words.

Without saying a word, he rushed up, grabbed Chen Zhi's arm, and with all his might, dragged the two of them into a dead corner at the end of the corridor.

Holy crap, you want to fight?

"Hey, hey, let's talk this out, don't get physical!"

The three of them, pulling and tugging, arrived at the old classroom that was usually used to store discarded desks and chairs.

The dim lighting here makes it a perfect place for murder, robbery, or rather, for discussing business.

Li Jiahao released his grip, leaned against the wall, and gasped for breath.

I said…

Chen Zhi tentatively spoke up, trying to persuade Jiahao to turn back from his wrong path.

Before he could finish speaking...

Li Jiahao's knees buckled.

With a "thump".

Under the shocked gazes of Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan, he knelt down straight.

His knee slammed into the concrete, making a dull thud.

It sounds painful.

"Holy crap?"

Chen Zhi was caught off guard by this turn of events and subconsciously took a half step back.

"Li Jiahao, what are you doing? It's not a holiday, so I'm not giving you a red envelope!"

Li Jiahao knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, looked up, his eyes were bright, and his face was full of piety.

"Class monitor!"

Li Jiahao roared, his voice sincere.

"I heard you don't have any children, so I want to take care of you in your old age!"
