The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

As soon as she entered the room, Lin Wanwan acted as if she were at home. She took off her beige down jacket as if she knew her place well, threw it on Chen Zhi's bed, and then slumped into the ergonomic chair.

"This chair is so comfortable, I'll ask my dad to buy me one too."

She spun around twice, kicking her long legs on the floor.

Chen Zhi closed the door and locked it from the inside.

"Step aside, that is my throne."

Chen Zhi walked over, grabbed Lin Wanwan by the back of her collar and lifted her up, then sat down himself and pushed her onto the round stool next to him.

"You're a spectator, and spectators should be aware of their role. Sit there and don't move."

Lin Wanwan pouted, feeling uncomfortable the moment her bottom touched the hard round stool.

Her eyes darted around, and she moved her stool closer to Chen Zhi until their knees were almost touching.

"I want to sit here, so I can see clearly from close up."

Chen Zhi ignored her, skillfully turned on the computer, and logged into Steam.

As soon as the familiar steam valve icon lit up, the chat box in the lower right corner popped up instantly.

[Pei: You're here?]

Chen Zhigang had just placed his hand on the keyboard, but before he could type, a small, fair hand reached out from the side and pressed the Enter key.

"Hey, hey, hey, I want to say something too!"

Lin Wanwan leaned closer, staring at the profile picture on the screen with a hint of wariness in her eyes.

Helpless, Chen Zhi took off the headphones hanging around his neck, wore only one ear, and handed the other to Lin Wanwan.

"Let's make this clear first: a true gentleman observes chess in silence, so please don't disturb me when I'm playing games."

"I don't understand, I am a woman and a petty person."

Lin Wanwan took the other half of the earphone with a straight face, put it on her ear, and then cleared her throat before Chen Zhi could even connect to the voice call.

The voice channel is connected.

Pei Ningxue's cool voice came through the headphones. The background was very quiet, with only the slight sound of keyboard typing.

"Log in, I'll pull you up."

Chen Zhigang was about to reply with "OK" when Lin Wanwan, standing next to him, suddenly spoke into the microphone in a sweet and slightly saccharine voice:

"Good evening, Pei~ I'm Wanwan, I'm also watching Chen Zhi play games."

The air seemed to freeze for a second.

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the headset.

Chen Zhi felt a throbbing pain in his temples. He turned his head and gave Lin Wanwan a warning look: Don't cause trouble.

Lin Wanwan gave him an innocent wink: I was just saying hello.

A few seconds later, Pei Ningxue's voice rang out again, revealing no emotional fluctuation, but Chen Zhi always felt that it wasn't that simple.

"Oh, Lin is here too. Are you sharing a microphone?"

"Yeah." Lin Wanwan leaned on Chen Zhi's shoulder with a grin, deliberately making a rustling sound as her clothes rubbed together. "Chen Zhi only has one pair of headphones, so we each wear one and we'll just make do with them."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the earpiece.

Then, Pei Ningxue's calm voice came: "Let's begin, don't waste time."

The game starts.

The classic Dust2 map.

Chen Zhi chose the police, started a fire, and prepared to muddle through the first pistol round.

"Hey Chen Zhi, why is this gun so ugly?" Lin Wanwan pointed at the screen. "Change to that one, the one with the pattern looks better."

"That's skin, it costs money," Chen Zhi said casually as he worked on it.

"Buy it! I have money!" Lin Wanwan said generously. "I'll top up your account, which one do you want?"

Shh, don't speak, listen for footsteps.

Chen Zhi frowned, and A University heard a flurry of footsteps.

He held his breath and focused intently, setting up his aim at the corner.

boom!

A super bullet flew over, and the screen went completely white in an instant.

"Ah! Why is it white? Is the graphics card broken?" Lin Wanwan was startled and grabbed Chen Zhi's arm, shaking it violently.

Chen Zhi's mouse wobbled from being shaken by her, and when his vision returned, he was already being attacked head-on by three bandits.

"Da da da—"

Chen Zhi collapsed and died.

[T faction wins]

Chen Zhi turned his head and sighed, "That was a flashbang, not a graphics card failure. Besides, didn't we agree that you would stay right next to me and watch?"

Lin Wanwan stuck out her tongue and muttered softly, "Why are you being so fierce? I've never played this game before."

The second game begins.

Knowing the economy was bad, Chen could only save some money for now.

Just then, a "click" sound came from the headphones.

An M4A1 appeared at the feet of the character controlled by Chen Zhi.

Pei Ningxue's character stood in front of him, holding only a small initial pistol in her hand.

"for you."

Pei Ningxue's voice was cold and clear, "You're skilled, I'll give you a gun."

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment.

Pei Ningxue didn't lose much money in the last round, but she spent all her money on this, and now she can't even afford to buy a single piece of armor.

Thanks.

Chen Zhi didn't mince words, picked up the gun, and instantly felt his back straighten.

Lin Wanwan, who was standing next to her, noticed something. Although she didn't understand the game, she could understand the "throwing gun" action.

Isn't this just fawning over someone?

Alarm bells rang in Lin Wanwan's mind.

No, we can't lose.

She can't help in the game, but in real life... hmph.

Lin Wanwan's eyes darted around, and she reached out and took an orange from the fruit plate on Chen Zhi's desk.

She peeled off the skin, then picked up a petal and held it to Chen Zhi's lips.

"ah--"

Chen Zhi was concentrating on preparing something when suddenly something cool appeared near his lips.

"What?" he asked vaguely.

"Eat oranges to get vitamins. I peeled these myself." Lin Wanwan forced an orange into his mouth.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to open his mouth and bite it.

The orange juice spread in my mouth; it was quite sweet.

"Is it good?" Lin Wanwan deliberately leaned closer to the microphone and asked in a clear voice.

Chen Zhi chewed twice: "It's alright."

A soft, cold laugh came from Pei Ningxue's end of the earphone.

Immediately afterwards, in the game.

Pei Ningxue's character suddenly rushed out from behind cover, holding a small pistol, and faced two fully armed enemies without flinching.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two shots to the head.

Clean and efficient.

A kill notification pops up in the upper right corner of the screen.

Pei Ningxue's voice came through: "Point B is cleared, debunk the bomb."

Chen Zhi stared in disbelief.

That's a pretty bold move.

"Wow, Pei is so amazing!" Lin Wanwan clapped her hands sarcastically. "Unlike me, all I do is peel oranges for Chen Zhi, and my hands get all dirty."

As she spoke, she pulled out a wet wipe and carefully wiped her fingers. Then she pulled out another wipe and grabbed Chen Zhi's left hand, which was resting on the keyboard, without saying a word.

"Hey, what are you doing? I still need to operate this!" Chen Zhi said anxiously.

"Wipe your hands. The orange juice splattered on them and made them sticky, affecting the feel of your hands." Lin Wanwan gently wiped his fingers clean one by one.

In the game, Chen Zhi's character stood motionless in place because his left hand was off the keyboard.

At that moment, an enemy soldier sneaked up from A-site.

Upon seeing Chen Zhi "AFK", the other party was overjoyed and raised his gun to shoot.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

The enemy fell to the ground.

But Chen Zhi didn't fire that shot.

It's Pei Ningxue.

She picked up the AK dropped by the enemy and stood on a box not far behind Chen Zhi, holding the point for him.

"Are you done wiping?"

Pei Ningxue's voice was calm and composed, "Move around after you're done wiping."

Lin Wanwan paused in wiping her hands.

Looking at the character on the screen who was always protecting Chen Zhi, her competitive spirit was completely ignited.

Pei Ningxue was telling her: Your little tricks in real life are useless. In this world, only I can stand by his side and fight alongside him.

Lin Wanwan bit her lip and threw the wet wipe into the trash can.

"Chen Zhi".

"What? What instructions do you have now, Grandma?" Chen Zhi put his hands back on the keyboard, feeling utterly exhausted.

On the left is my childhood sweetheart in real life, and on the right is my aloof deskmate on the other side of the internet.

Is this what they call a battleground?

"I want to play too." Lin Wanwan stared at the screen with a determined look in her eyes.

"What are you doing? Do you even know how?" Chen Zhi rolled his eyes.

"Teach me!" Lin Wanwan tugged at his sleeve. "What's so hard about it? It's just clicking the mouse! I want to kill people like her!"

Chen Zhi sighed: "This takes practice. You need to practice quick stops, recoil control, and pre-aiming..."

"I don't care!" Lin Wanwan started acting like a brat. "If you don't teach me, I'll call Aunt Zhang right now and tell her you're ignoring me because you're playing games, and you're making me sit on the sidelines!"

Chen Zhi: "..."

He glanced at the score on the screen.

14: 14.

Match point.

"Alright, alright, I'll teach you after this game," Chen Zhi conceded.

"Really?" Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up.

"It really is real, more real than real gold."

Just then, Pei Ningxue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Chen Zhi".

"Oh? I'm here."

"I want to practice teamwork next round." Pei Ningxue paused, then said casually, "I heard there's a tactic in this game called 'two-person gun-holding,' which requires two people to be very close together. Can you teach me?"

Chen Zhi's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the grenade at his teammate's feet.

They were very close?

It's just a double frame, why make it sound so ambiguous?

When she heard that Lin Wanwan wanted to learn how to play games, she immediately launched a counterattack.

Lin Wanwan clearly understood. Her eyes widened, and she shouted into the microphone, "Pei, Chen Zhi just agreed to teach me! There should be a first-come, first-served principle, right?"

Pei Ningxue's laughter came through the earphones.

"Oh? Is that so? But we're still playing ranked matches. Isn't it inappropriate to teach a newbie right now? If we lose, Chen Zhi's rating will drop."

"You don't want Chen Zhi to lose points, do you?"

Lin Wanwan bit her lip. Although she didn't understand games, she knew that boys valued ranks a lot.

Lin Wanwan was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.

She turned her head and looked at Chen Zhi with pleading eyes, as if to say, "You dare to abandon me for the sake of grades?"

Chen Zhi felt like his head was about to split open.

How did playing a game turn out like this?

……

Two hours later.

game over.

Lin Wanwan couldn't play games with Chen Zhi, but she always deliberately made some ambiguous noises for the other side to hear.

Pei Ningxue seemed to have sensed something, and in the end, she only said "See you tomorrow" before hurriedly logging off.

"Alright, are you satisfied now?"

Chen Zhi slumped in his chair, watching Lin Wanwan, who was still studying the gun skins with great interest.

"It's alright."

Lin Wanwan was in a good mood. Although she hadn't learned the game, she had successfully ruined Chen Zhi and Pei Ningxue's sweet duo queue, and that was enough.

She stood up, stretched, and the hem of her off-white sweater rose slightly with the movement, revealing a hint of her fair waistline.

"I'm sleepy, I'm going home to sleep."

Lin Wanwan grabbed her down jacket from the bed, walked to the door, and suddenly stopped.

She turned around and looked at Chen Zhi.

"Chen Zhi".

"What now?"

"Tomorrow morning..." Lin Wanwan's lips curled up slightly, "I want to eat the breakfast you made. As punishment for daring to hesitate about whether or not to teach me today."

Chen Zhigang was about to refuse when Lin Wanwan added another sentence.

"Otherwise, I'll tell Aunt Zhang that you stay out so late with your female classmates every night."

"..."

Lin Wanwan chuckled, opened the door, and ran out.

With a "bang," the door slammed shut.

The room finally returned to silence.

Chen Zhi looked at the grayed-out avatar on the computer screen, then glanced at the warm cushion on the round stool next to him, which Lin Wanwan had been sitting on.

He shook his head helplessly, just about to turn off his phone and go to sleep.

The phone screen suddenly lit up.

It's a WeChat message.

Sender: Pei.

Chen Zhi opened it and his pupils widened in shock.

A photo was sent from the other end.

The background is the bedroom carpet of the Pei family mansion. A pair of legs are crossed and stretched out in front of the camera, long, straight, and dazzlingly white.

Immediately afterwards, a text message arrived.

[Pei: To be continued tomorrow morning]

Chen Zhi swallowed hard and replied to the message.

There looks like something dirty on your feet. Take a closer look in the photo.

Another photo was sent over from the other side.

Chen Zhi long-pressed to save, then deleted the chat history.
