The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Before that hand could even touch Lin Wanwan's face, it was stopped halfway by an even stronger hand.

Chen Zhi's fingers were long and slender with distinct knuckles, and he was gripping Huang Mao's wrist tightly. He didn't say anything, but simply flicked it to the side.

Caught off guard, the blond-haired man staggered back several steps, nearly crashing into a lamppost behind him.

Before he could even stand up straight, a figure had already blocked Lin Wanwan's way.

"roll."

The blond-haired man rubbed his reddened wrist, wincing in pain.

He wanted to curse, but when he looked up and met Chen Zhi's eyes, he swallowed the curse back.

He stiffened his neck and shouted, his voice trembling with fear, "What? You want to fight?"

The blond-haired man spat, trying to regain his composure: "How can you prove he's your boyfriend? Huh? Call me 'husband' then!"

Chen Zhi frowned, his fists clenched.

You can't reason with this kind of scoundrel; the most direct way is to persuade him physically.

Just as he was about to make his move, he suddenly felt a warm touch behind him.

"How can you prove it?"

Lin Wanwan's voice came from behind, trembling slightly.

Just as Chen Zhi was about to turn around and tell her not to be afraid, a pair of hands grabbed his shoulder and pulled him back.

Lin Wanwan's delicate face loomed large before his eyes.

She stood on tiptoe, reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck. Without any hesitation or skill, she forcefully pressed her lips against Chen Zhi's.

"Well……"

Chen Zhi's pupils contracted instantly.

The world went silent in that instant.

The wind by the river stopped, the noise of the distant traffic disappeared, and even the shouts of that blond-haired guy could no longer be heard.

The senses are magnified infinitely.

A soft, moist touch came from my lips, carrying a sweet fragrance unique to young girls, so sweet it made me dizzy.

Lin Wanwan clearly doesn't know how to kiss.

She just pressed herself tightly against him, and because she was nervous, her teeth accidentally bumped against Chen Zhi's lips, which hurt a little.

Chen Zhi's hand, which had been frozen in mid-air, finally reacted after a few seconds, slowly fell down, grabbed the girl's slender waist, and pulled her closer to his arms.

This action seemed like some kind of signal. Lin Wanwan closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, but the hand around his neck tightened even more.

It was a shy, clumsy, yet passionate kiss that ignited the entire summer night.

a long time.

Lin Wanwan finally let go of Chen Zhi's hand when they were both out of breath. Her heels touched the ground, and she felt as if her bones had been removed, so she leaned limply against him.

Chen Zhi instinctively shielded her, then looked up, his eyes slightly unfocused.

That blond guy has long since disappeared.

Only the two of them remained by the river.

The streetlights cast a dim yellow glow, lengthening the shadows of the two people, which overlapped and became inseparable.

The girl in his arms buried her head deeply in his chest, her arms tightly wrapped around him.

"I like you."

A muffled sound came from his chest, tinged with a sob.

"I like you, Chen Zhi, I like you."

It was as if she wanted to pour out all the words she had kept hidden in her heart for the past three years, or even longer, all at once.

"I really like you so much..."

Chen Zhi felt a small wet patch on his chest.

He sighed, and the last line of defense in his heart finally collapsed completely at this moment.

He raised his hand and gently stroked Lin Wanwan's soft, long hair, again and again, with a soothing tone.

"I know."

Chen Zhi's voice was a little hoarse. He lowered his head, resting his chin on the top of her head, and said, "I like you too, Lin Wanwan."

The person in his arms stiffened for a moment, then suddenly raised their head.

Lin Wanwan's eyes were red and swollen.

"Say it again," she sniffed, demanding domineeringly.

Chen Zhi chuckled and reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes: "I said, I like you too."

Lin Wanwan stopped crying and started laughing.

She loosened one hand, rummaged in her pocket, and finally pulled out the "big diamond ring" she had bought for fifty-two yuan.

Bathed in moonlight, the enormous glass diamond refracted a dazzling light.

"Help me put it on."

Lin Wanwan handed the ring to Chen Zhi, extending her left hand; her fingers were slender and long, and glowed white.

Chen Zhi accepted the ring.

The alloy ring, which is supposed to be light and flimsy, feels surprisingly heavy in my hand.

He held Lin Wanwan's hand, pinched the ring, and subconsciously reached out to slip it onto her ring finger.

"Wait a minute!"

Lin Wanwan withdrew her hand as soon as her fingertips touched her knuckles.

Chen Zhi was taken aback: "What's wrong? Is the size not right?"

"You idiot Chen Zhi!"

Lin Wanwan glared at him, then stretched out her hand again, but this time she curled up her ring finger, leaving only her middle finger raised. "This place is for the real one from now on."

She looked into Chen Zhi's eyes, her expression earnest as if making a vow: "A fifty-two-yuan glass ring can only be worn on the middle finger. In the future... in the future you have to buy me a real, big diamond ring so that I can wear it on my ring finger."

Chen Zhi stared at her blankly.

The little girl's eyes were full of expectation, and a kind of trust that suggested she was entrusting her entire life to someone.

He felt a tightness in his throat.

"it is good."

Chen Zhi nodded solemnly, "I'll buy you a pigeon egg sometime, the kind that will break your finger."

"Get lost!" Lin Wanwan chuckled.

Chen Zhi carefully slipped the ring onto the base of her middle finger.

The size is just right.

Lin Wanwan raised her hand, looking at it from left to right in the moonlight, becoming more and more satisfied, as if she were wearing a priceless and rare treasure.

"nice."

She suddenly turned around and threw herself into Chen Zhi's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist and holding him tightly, as if she wanted to meld herself into his very bones.

"Who am I now? Chen Zhi?"

She tilted her head back, asking a question she already knew the answer to, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"You are my girlfriend."

Chen Zhi lowered his head and gently brushed his nose against hers, their breaths mingling together.

Lin Wanwan let out a satisfied sigh and hugged Chen Zhi even tighter, practically hanging on him.

"I like you so much, Chen Zhi, I like you so much."

She repeated the sentence tirelessly, like a broken record, as if she could never get enough of it.

Chen Zhi's heart softened completely.

He patted her back gently, again and again, as if soothing a child:

"I know."

I like you more.

"nonsense!"

Lin Wanwan immediately retorted, snuggling closer to him, "It's clearly me who likes you more! I've liked you since I was little!"

I loved you in my past life.

Chen Zhi suddenly spoke, his voice soft but firm.

"If there were a past life..."

Lin Wanwan hugged him tightly, her voice becoming very soft and gentle, "Then it must be that I liked you first. Because Chen Zhi is such a fool, so slow to react, it must have been me who fell in love first."

Chen Zhi felt as if his heart had been struck hard by something.

Yes.

In his past life, she was indeed always silently waiting for him from behind.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions surging in his eyes.

Lin Wanwan noticed Chen Zhi's unusual behavior.

She affectionately nuzzled Chen Zhi's cheek with the tip of her nose, her warm breath spraying onto the nape of his neck.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

She muttered softly, a hint of melancholy tinged with satisfaction.

I really want to be with you...

Why are we only getting together now?

The girl's sigh dissipated in the wind.

Chen Zhi closed his eyes, rested his chin on the top of her head, and smelled that familiar fragrance.

It's not too late.

It's not too late at all.

"Wanwan."

"Um?"

I want to be with you too.

Chen Zhi opened his eyes and looked at the city lights flickering in the distance. "In this life and the next, we'll be together."
