The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"Zhizhi, what are you looking at?"

Lin Wanwan, who was beside him, noticed that Chen Zhi had stopped walking and looked in the direction he was looking.

When Lin Wanwan saw Pei Ningxue, who was leaning lazily against the back of her chair in a black backless evening gown, she noticeably tightened her grip on Chen Zhi's arm.

Pei Ningxue tonight is truly stunningly beautiful, almost unfairly so.

The evening gown had an extremely daring cut, revealing her perfect shoulder and neck lines, and her collarbone was so deep it could hold fish.

In terms of presence, she had it all figured out perfectly.

"Ha, dressed like that, anyone who didn't know better would think she's here to walk the red carpet."

Lin Wanwan snorted through her nose, "Aren't you cold?"

Chen Zhi felt like the flesh on his arm was about to be pinched off, so he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Indeed, the air conditioning is set quite low, so our long-sleeved shirts are warmer."

"That's right!" Lin Wanwan instantly regained her confidence, puffed out her chest, and strode over with Chen Zhi in her arms. "Come on, let's sit at the head table!"

"Oh, our top scholar and his wife have arrived!"

Class monitor Zhao Kai, always eager for a good show, immediately stood up and offered his seat, "Come on, Brother Zhi, sit here. The center seat is for you!"

That spot was right opposite Pei Ningxue.

Chen Zhigang was about to say, "No need, we can just sit on the side," when Lin Wanwan had already plopped down and pulled him to the chair next to her.

"Thank you, class monitor!" Lin Wanwan smiled brightly and even raised her chin triumphantly at Pei Ningxue across from her.

Pei Ningxue put down her wine glass, her beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her gaze swept over the matching outfits worn by the two of them.

"It's quite festive."

She parted her red lips slightly, her voice clear and cold, "It's like she just came back from the Civil Affairs Bureau to get her marriage certificate, and then casually set up two tables for a banquet at the village entrance."

Lin Wanwan's smile froze on her face.

Village entrance? A banquet?

Is this mean woman calling her unsophisticated?!

"Pei Ningxue, what do you mean?" Lin Wanwan slammed her bag on the table. "As for you, dressed all in black, anyone who didn't know better would think you were attending a funeral!"

The students around them didn't dare to breathe, their eyes darting wildly between the two women.

Exciting!

So they're already at it?

Is this the legendary battleground?

Chen Zhi felt a chill run down his spine and wished he could disappear into the ground. Just as he was about to speak up to mediate, Pei Ningxue suddenly laughed.

That smile, like ice and snow melting, made people dizzy.

"Don't be angry, Lin Wanwan."

Pei Ningxue leaned forward slightly, resting her elbows on the table, her posture languid and alluring. "I just think this red suits you particularly well. After all..."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Chen Zhi's neck almost imperceptibly, and said meaningfully, "After all, red represents passion, and some people's passion last night couldn't be hidden."

Chen Zhi instinctively covered his neck.

Grass!

Lin Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then realized that Pei Ningxue was talking about the strawberry mark.

What should have been a source of embarrassment has now become her weapon of retaliation.

"That's right!" Lin Wanwan simply stopped pretending and generously took Chen Zhi's arm, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Zhizhi and I have a good relationship, unlike some people who are all alone and can only be sarcastic here."

As she spoke, she deliberately pulled Chen Zhi's hand over, intertwined their fingers, and placed it on the table to show him.

Pei Ningxue looked at the two clasped hands, and the smile on her face faded a little.

"Alone and isolated?"

Pei Ningxue examined her fingertips. "That's not necessarily true. There are some things that, if I want to, I can get them."

Lin Wanwan's alarm bells rang instantly: "You dare!"

"Alright, alright! Everyone, just keep quiet!"

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Chen Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and step in as a peacemaker. He picked up the juice pitcher on the table and poured a glass for each of the two big shots. "Today is our graduation dinner, so let's all have a good time. Come on, let's drink some juice."

"I don't drink juice." Pei Ningxue didn't even glance at the glass of juice, her gaze fixed on Chen Zhi. "I want to drink alcohol."

"Uh..." Chen Zhi was a little embarrassed, "It's not good for girls to drink too much."

"What, Chen Zhi, are you worried I'm drunk?"

Pei Ningxue suddenly lowered her voice, speaking in a volume only those at the table could hear, "Are you afraid I'll get drunk and reveal what you did on the bus?"

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Chen Zhi coughed violently, his old face turning bright red.

This woman is insane!

Lin Wanwan looked at the two suspiciously: "The bus? What happened on the bus? Zhizhi, what were you doing?"

"No! It's nothing!" Chen Zhi quickly waved his hands, cold sweat dripping down his back. "It's just... it's just that I accidentally stepped on her foot! Yes, I stepped on it!"

"Is that so?" Pei Ningxue said with a half-smile. "That kick really went in deep."

Chen Zhi felt like he was suffocating.

How come he never noticed before that this wicked woman was not only cunning but also a master of playing with fire?

Just at this critical moment, the banquet hall doors were pushed open again.

A graceful figure appeared at the doorway.

The crowd, who had been watching the spectacle, were involuntarily drawn to it.

The woman was wearing a simple floral dress, her long, black hair cascading smoothly over her shoulders, and her face, though unadorned, was as fair and smooth as a piece of fine mutton-fat jade.

She stood there quietly, holding a book in her hands, like a small white flower blooming in the noisy world.

"Sorry I'm late."

Li Zhiyi said softly. She looked around, her gaze lingering for a second on Chen Zhi and Lin Wanwan's red outfits, and then on Pei Ningxue in her black dress.

Finally, she gave a gentle smile and walked straight to the head table.

"Are there any seats left here?" She pointed to the seat next to Pei Ningxue.

The entire room fell silent once again.

Good guy.

The prize pool is still accumulating.

"Yes, of course!" Zhao Kai quickly pulled out a chair. "Class monitor, please sit down!"

Li Zhiyi sat down, flanking Lin Wanwan on either side, with Pei Ningxue sandwiched in the middle... no, it formed a triangle, and Chen Zhi was the unlucky guy who was roasted over the fire.

"Zhiyi, why are you so late!" Lin Wanwan's hostility lessened slightly when she saw Li Zhiyi, after all, she was her best friend.

"I went to the bookstore and bought two books." Li Zhiyi put the books she was holding on the table; they were two brand-new copies of "Dream of the Red Chamber."

Pei Ningxue glanced at the two books and raised an eyebrow: "Dream of the Red Chamber? Li, are you going to study Redology?"

"no."

Li Zhiyi poured herself a cup of tea, her voice gentle yet sharp, "I'm watching to see who among Jia Baoyu's many sisters will ultimately stay with him until the end."

hiss--

A collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

Is this really Li Zhiyi, who doesn't even dare to speak loudly?

This fighting power is absolutely off the charts!

Chen Zhi covered his face in pain.
