The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

After the dinner party, as is customary, the next activity was karaoke.

A large group of people marched towards the nearby "Qian Gui" karaoke bar.

The private room was dimly lit and the music was deafening.

The boys were belting out "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies," while the girls were rolling dice.

Chen Zhi huddled in the corner of the sofa, feeling a little dizzy.

On one hand, it was because of the noise, and on the other hand, the atmosphere around me was just too oppressive.

On the left, Lin Wanwan clung tightly to his arm like a protective little tiger. On the right, separated by someone, Pei Ningxue sat with her legs crossed, her eyes occasionally glancing over with a playful, amused look.

As for Li Zhiyi, she sat quietly next to the song selection station, helping everyone choose songs.

"Stop, stop, stop! Stop howling!"

Squad leader Zhao Kai suddenly jumped onto the coffee table, turned off the music, and shouted while holding an empty beer bottle, "What's the point of just singing? Let's do something exciting!"

"Truth or Dare! Are you up for it?"

"Come on! Who's afraid of who!"

The loser either answers a question or chugs a bottle!

A group of recent high school graduates, bursting with hormones, immediately received unanimous approval for the proposal.

The fruit plate and wine glasses on the coffee table were roughly pushed aside, clearing a large space.

The group sat in a circle.

Chen Zhi instinctively wanted to pee, but as soon as he lifted his buttocks, Lin Wanwan pressed him back down.

"Where are you going?" Lin Wanwan looked at him with a smile, her grip surprisingly strong. "Zhizhi, everyone's here. You're not thinking of running away at the last minute, are you?"

Across from her, Pei Ningxue casually added, "Chen Zhi is our top student, he shouldn't be that timid, right?"

Chen Zhi forced himself to sit up straight: "Let's play then, whoever chickens out is a coward."

"Alright! Let's start the first round!"

Zhao Kai spun around forcefully.

The green beer bottle spun rapidly on the smooth marble tabletop, making a "glug-glug" sound.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the bottle opening.

The rotation speed slowed down.

It slows down again.

Finally, the bottle stopped shakily in front of a boy wearing glasses.

"Hahaha! Old Wang! Truth or dare?"

"Truly...the truth, isn't it?"

"Have you ever had a crush on any of the girls here? Tell me their names!"

The boy's face flushed red. After hesitating for a long time, he finally glanced quickly at Li Zhiyi, grabbed the wine glass in front of him, and said, "I...I'll drink!"

"cut--"

A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd.

The game continues.

The bottle spun around a few more times. Some people confessed their feelings but were rejected, while others were punished by being sent to the next private room to ask for WeChat contacts. The atmosphere became increasingly lively.

With alcohol taking effect, everyone became bolder, and the questions they asked became increasingly tricky.

"Splash—"

Zhao Kai spun the bottle again.

This time, the bottle spun for an unusually long time.

When it finally stopped, the bottle opening was perfectly aligned with Li Zhiyi, who was standing next to the karaoke booth.

The private room fell silent for a second, then erupted into an even louder uproar.

"Class monitor! Class monitor!"

"Li Zhiyi! Truth or Dare?"

Li Zhiyi seemed a little surprised. She put down the song changer in her hand, straightened her skirt, and said in a soft, gentle voice, "Truth or dare."

Zhao Kai's eyes darted around, but before he could speak, a girl next to him, who always loved gossip and enjoyed the drama, said, "Zhiyi, we've been together for three years, and I've never heard you mention anything about relationships. I just want to ask, do you have someone you like? Are they here?"

The moment this question was asked, the air in the entire private room seemed to freeze.

Lin Wanwan's hand, which was peeling pistachios, suddenly stopped, and her body tensed instantly. She narrowed her eyes and stared intently at Li Zhiyi.

Pei Ningxue also put down her wine glass and rested her chin on her hand with great interest.

Chen Zhi felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

All eyes were on Li Zhiyi.

The dim light shone on her fair and serene face.

Li Zhiyi did not answer immediately.

She slowly raised her head, her clear black and white eyes scanning the room.

Finally, his gaze passed over the many figures and landed on Chen Zhi.

Lin Wanwan clearly noticed this look as well, her fingernails almost digging into Chen Zhi's flesh.

"What do you mean?" the girl pressed, "Is it hard to answer?"

Li Zhiyi withdrew her gaze.

She looked at the full glass of beer in front of her and suddenly smiled.

"I choose to drink."

After saying that, she picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

A trickle of golden liquor ran down the corner of her mouth, which she then wiped away nonchalantly.

"Wow—"

"The class representative has an enormous number of students!"

"Does this count as an admission? There must be someone she likes!"

While everyone was still making noise, Li Zhiyi had already put down her empty cup, her cheeks flushed, but her eyes remained clear.

She did not deny it.

They did not admit it either.

"Alright, alright! Next round!"

Lin Wanwan suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion with a loud voice. She grabbed the bottle and spun it around forcefully.

The bottle spun rapidly.

Chen Zhi prayed frantically in his heart: Don't share this, don't share this, share it with anyone else, just don't share this with me...

Murphy's Law tells us that what you fear most is what will happen.

As if equipped with a navigation system, the bottle gradually slowed down under everyone's watchful eyes, finally coming to a steady stop in front of Chen Zhi.

The bottle opening was pointed directly at the tip of his nose.

"Wow! Zhi-ge! It's finally your turn!"

Zhao Kai slapped his thigh excitedly, "Come on! Truth or Dare?"

Chen Zhi glanced at Lin Wanwan beside him, then at Pei Ningxue and Li Zhiyi opposite him.

Choose truth or no answer?

These bastards might ask something like, "If you didn't consider Lin Wanwan, who would you choose?"—a question that could kill him on the spot.

"A great adventure." Chen Zhi gritted his teeth.

If I choose Truth or Dare, everything should be fine, right?

"Truth or dare, huh..." Zhao Kai had just come up with a dirty trick.

"etc."

Pei Ningxue, who hadn't said much until now, suddenly spoke up.

"Since he's the future top scholar, let's play something more elegant."

Pei Ningxue stood up, her black backless evening gown shimmering under the lights. She walked up to Chen Zhi, looking at him with a chilling smile in her eyes.

That woman had no good intentions!

"Chen Zhi, what's the content of your dare?"

She extended a slender finger and drew a circle in the air.

"Choose a member of the opposite sex on the spot, make eye contact with her for ten seconds, and tell us your first impression of her."

"Remember, look me in the eye when you speak, and don't lie."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

"Holy crap! Goddess Pei knows how to have fun!"

"This question is exciting!"

Chen Zhi felt a chill run down his spine.

"Choose! Brother Zhi, choose quickly!"

"Ten-second countdown!"

Lin Wanwan had already released her grip on Chen Zhi's arm, crossed her arms, and looked at him coldly. Her gaze clearly said: You dare try choosing someone else?

Pei Ningxue, on the other hand, had a look of anticipation on her face and even took out her phone to record a video.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath.

He looked at the colorful bottles on the table and suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Um... I can't make eye contact with you, I have a phobia of eye contact."

As Chen Zhi spoke, he swiftly grabbed a half-bottle of beer and half a bottle of red wine that no one knew who had left on the table, and even poured half a glass of cola into it.

"I'll punish myself! I'll drink it!"

After saying that, he picked up the cup that looked like a hodgepodge and started gulping it down.

"Hey, hey, hey! Brother Zhi, you're cheating!"

"Exactly! That's ridiculous!"

Chen Zhi turned a deaf ear.

He gulped down more than half the bottle before slamming the cup down.

"belch--"

Chen Zhi let out a hiccup, his eyes instantly becoming glazed over, and he slumped onto the sofa.

"No...no...I'm drunk..."

He started rambling incoherently, "This wine... how come there are two shadows in this wine..."

"cut--"

Pei Ningxue put away her phone in disappointment, letting out a cold snort: "How boring. Chen Zhi, are you even a man?"

Chen Zhi closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

Whether someone is a man or not doesn't need to be proven here.

Survival is the only thing that matters.

Lin Wanwan looked at Chen Zhi's nonchalant attitude. Although she was a little annoyed that he hadn't chosen her, at least he hadn't chosen those two slutty and cheap girls.

"Alright, alright, if he can't drink, don't force him," Lin Wanwan immediately defended her. "This round is over!"

……

The party lasted until the early hours of the morning.

When the party ended, everyone was completely drunk and staggering.

Chen Zhi, supported by Lin Wanwan, stumbled and walked out.

Actually, the little bit of alcohol he drank earlier was nothing to him, but he had to pretend to be drunk, otherwise this chaotic scene would have to continue.

The entrance to the KTV.

The night breeze was cool, dispersing much of the smell of alcohol.

Zhao Kai was flagging down cars on the roadside to help everyone get home.

Pei Ningxue and Li Zhiyi stood at the bottom of the steps, seemingly waiting for their family's driver and taxi.

"Zhizhi, stand firm."

Lin Wanwan struggled to support Chen Zhi, her face flushed, whether from exhaustion or from drinking.

She looked up and glanced at Pei Ningxue and Li Zhiyi not far away.

The two women were quite different; one was aloof and noble, the other gentle and charming.

An unprecedented sense of crisis welled up in Lin Wanwan's heart.

Even after they had established a relationship and even after she posted on social media to assert her ownership, she still felt it wasn't enough.

Chen Zhitai is attracting a lot of attention.

Lin Wanwan bit her lip.

The alcohol made her brain feel hot, and an impulse rushed to her head.

"Chen Zhi".

She suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?" Chen Zhi opened his eyes groggily. "Has the car arrived?"

"He didn't come."

Lin Wanwan suddenly let go of his hand, then cupped Chen Zhi's face in her hands, forcing him to look down at her.

"Look at me."

Her eyes sparkled, as if they held stars.

"What's wrong? I feel dizzy..."

"Even if you're dizzy, you have to keep an eye on her!"

Lin Wanwan stood on tiptoe.

Before Chen Zhi could react to what was happening, she suddenly leaned in and kissed his lips hard.

This was a kiss filled with intense possessiveness, even a bit fierce.

She is asserting sovereignty.

At the entrance of this bustling KTV, in front of all my classmates, and in front of my two love rivals.

"Well……"

Chen Zhi's eyes widened, and he sobered up halfway.

Not far away.

Pei Ningxue, who was about to get into the car, paused.

She watched the two people kissing on the steps, and her fingers tightened instantly around the car door handle.

Li Zhiyi, who was standing next to her, was also stunned.

The night breeze lifted the hem of her skirt.

She watched the boy who had been forcibly kissed by Lin Wanwan, watching him go from initial shock to slowly reaching out to put his arm around Lin Wanwan's waist.

Li Zhiyi lowered her eyes, concealing the fleeting loneliness in them.

a long time.

Lip points.

Lin Wanwan released Chen Zhi, panting, her face flushed. She turned her head and looked defiantly at the two people below the steps.

Did you see it clearly?

This is mine.

It's stamped.

Pei Ningxue sneered, slammed open the car door, got in, and sped away in the black sedan without even saying goodbye.

Li Zhiyi, however, did not leave.

She watched quietly for a while, then turned and walked towards another car.

As she opened the car door, she glanced back at Lin Wanwan, who was still grinning foolishly.

Her soft murmur drifted on the wind, so faint it seemed like an illusion.

I don't fight for the present.
