The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The bell rang to signal the end of the second period.

Immediately afterwards, the "Athletes' March," a song that struck fear into the hearts of countless students, was broadcast over the loudspeakers, covering every corner of the campus without any blind spots.

"Ta-da~"

Chen Zhi's stomach started to hurt a little.

If you don't understand, just ask. My stomach hurts reflexively whenever I hear this very rhythmic melody. Is there something wrong with me?

Chen Zhi sighed, got up, and mingled with the bustling crowd, slowly making his way to the playground.

Although he really wanted to ask for leave, it would be a bit unfair not to participate in morning exercises on the first day of school.

Each class is lining up under the slogan of its sports representative.

Chen Zhi stood in the line of Class 10 of Grade 1, but his eyes were wandering around.

Soon, he found his target three square formations behind him.

Among a group of girls in blue and white school uniforms, one figure stood out.

Lin Wanwan was tall, standing at 1.72 meters, and was at the back of the line. She was holding the arm of a girl next to her, talking to her with her head down, her ponytail swaying back and forth.

That's Lin Wanwan's best friend, Chen Xinyu.

Having not seen his childhood sweetheart for several days, Chen Zhi was starting to miss her, so he decided to catch up with her.

As the command to start running was given, the massive formation began to slowly incline.

Chen Zhi had only run a few steps when he suddenly stopped without warning.

"Ouch."

He let out an exaggerated shout, then quickly squatted down and skillfully began fiddling with the shoelace that was not loose at all.

His classmates had to walk around him, and the Class 10 group quickly ran far away.

Chen Zhi slowly tied his shoelaces, silently counting down the seconds.

One, two, three... thirty.

Time's up.

Just as the formation of Class 7 of Grade 1 passed by him, Chen Zhi naturally inserted himself into the end of the formation.

He happened to be right next to Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan, who was complaining to Chen Xinyu about how bad the cafeteria food was, suddenly felt a figure appear beside her.

She turned her head instinctively, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened instantly.

"Why are you so late?"

Lin Wanwan lowered her voice, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible grievance and resentment.

"I go to and from school alone every day, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. I'm so bored."

Since starting high school, the two have been in different classes. Although they live close by, Chen Zhi has been absent for the past few days, so they have hardly seen each other.

As Chen Zhi jogged alongside the group, he turned his head to the side and shrugged helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do, something happened at home."

Lin Wanwan's heart tightened, and she quickly asked.

"What's wrong? Did your aunt and uncle have a fight?"

No, not at all.

Chen Zhi sighed, looking as if his family had suffered a misfortune.

"It's mainly my uncle; he's so unfilial."

"what?"

Lin Wanwan was dumbfounded. What did this have to do with being filial?

Chen Zhi explained with great distress.

"He was in his thirties when he finally found a wife. I went to the wedding a few days ago."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"What's so great about it? You don't know, when my uncle went to college, my aunt was still in elementary school."

Chen Zhi shook his head, his tone full of disdain for his uncle's behavior of dating a young woman.

Lin Wanwan was stunned for a few seconds, then realized what was happening and couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Are all guys like this?"

She curled her lip, her tone carrying a hint of disdain.

"I'll always like eighteen-year-olds—superficial and vulgar."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhi immediately became displeased and retorted righteously.

"Hey, Lin Wanwan, please don't use your narrow-minded prejudice to generalize about all men."

"Those are all rather ordinary guys. I'm different from them."

Lin Wanwan looked at him suspiciously, clearly not believing him.

"What's different?"

Chen Zhi straightened his back and said confidently.

"I am a rather focused person, and I also have high aspirations."

"I like people who are both young and beautiful."

The air froze for a second.

"Get out!"

Lin Wanwan let out a low growl of embarrassment and anger, and with a swing of her arm, she kicked Chen Zhi hard in the shin.

Chen Zhi gasped dramatically, his body tilting to the side.

"You violent maniac, who would dare marry you in the future?"

"Mind your own business!"

Lin Wanwan blushed and glared at him, but the previous annoyance in her eyes had long since vanished.

Chen Xinyu watched the two flirting from the side, covering her mouth and giggling, her eyes sparkling with delight.

Just then, Chen Zhi suddenly stopped.

"Ouch~ Why are these shoelaces so unruly?"

He grumbled as he squatted down again.

Lin Wanwan ran a few steps, glanced back at the figure squatting on the ground pretending to be something, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"What an idiot."

This time, Chen Zhi squatted for even longer.

He patiently watched as each class passed by.

Until the flag of Class 1, Grade 1 came into view.

As the elite class of Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School, also known as the "rocket class," Class 1 has a distinct style compared to other classes.

Many people wore glasses, walked in unison, and each person's face seemed to say, "Don't touch me, I'm going to get into Tsinghua or Peking University."

Among this group of academically gifted boys, a girl with a high ponytail stood out.

Li Zhiyi.

She was like a little cabbage that had wandered into a Buddhist temple, standing out as exceptionally delicate and fragile among a group of science-oriented men.

Chen Zhi timed it perfectly, and the instant Li Zhiyi passed by, he once again steadily inserted himself into the line.

The boys in the surrounding class immediately cast wary glances at them.

In their eyes, Li Zhiyi was a national treasure in the class. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also well-behaved, sensible, and academically excellent.

Normally, the boys are afraid to even speak loudly for fear of scaring her. Now, suddenly a wild boy from another class appears and wants to get close to her. How can she tolerate this?

Chen Zhi completely ignored the hostile eyes around him.

He put his hands behind his back, slowed his pace, and followed beside Li Zhiyi, striking a pose like a dean of students inspecting work.

"You understand."

He cleared his throat and spoke in a condescending, elder-like tone.

"How's your studying lately? Are you keeping up with the pace?"

Li Zhiyi, who was focused on running, was startled by the sudden sound.

She turned her head and, after recognizing Chen Zhi, her tense shoulders relaxed.

Immediately afterwards, a blush quickly spread across her fair and pretty face.

"It's...it's alright."

She lowered her head, her voice barely audible.

The boys in the surrounding class immediately hardened their fists.

Where did this lecher come from?!

How dare they flirt with their class beauty in public!

Several sharp gazes were fixed on Chen Zhi. If looks could kill, Chen Zhi would have been riddled with holes by now.

Chen Zhi was completely unaware of this, and instead took advantage of the situation by moving even closer.

"Were you paying attention in class? Don't think you can relax just because you're in the honors class."

Li Zhiyi lowered her head even further, her ears turning bright red, and nodded obediently.

"I listened carefully."

Seeing her soft, vulnerable, and easily manipulated appearance, Chen Zhi felt a great sense of wicked pleasure.

But he couldn't bear to tease her any longer, since the murderous aura around them was almost materializing.

Chen Zhi straightened up and glanced around at the boys who were glaring at him angrily.

Then, in front of everyone, he spoke loudly to Li Zhiyi.

"Alright, get back to studying."

"If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll teach them a lesson."

The boys in Class One almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Bully?

Who on earth is bullying her?!

We treat her like a goddess, but you, an outsider, come here and start touching her inappropriately and verbally harassing her!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Li Zhiyi was so embarrassed that she bit her lip gently and replied softly.

"Okay, okay."

Chen Zhi nodded in satisfaction and gracefully withdrew from the scene.

"Oh dear, my shoelaces have come undone again."

With a group of boys giving him a quick goodbye, Chen Zhi squatted down on the track for the third time.

This time, he squatted for a full minute and a half.

Until the formation of Class 10 of Grade 1 reappeared in sight.

It turned out that he was lapped by the class because he ran too slowly.

Chen Zhi calmly stood up, dusted off his trousers, and returned to his original position with an air of composure.

Just then, the "Athletes' March" playing on the radio stopped.

The order to dismiss was given.

Chen Zhi wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead, looked at the panting classmates around him, and let out a heartfelt sigh.

"What an exhilarating running exercise!"

The sports committee member next to him twitched at the corner of his mouth, watching this guy who had only run less than 200 meters and flirted with girls in three different classes, barely suppressing the urge to kick him.
