The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The dormitory was quiet for about three seconds.

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained as calm as a rock.

He tossed his backpack onto the empty bed, casually leaned over to look at his phone screen, then frowned, giving off a look of disdain like an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.

"Who is this? The photo is so blurry, was it taken with a landline?"

Chen Zhi pointed at the boy in the photo whose profile was only visible, and said with a look of disdain, "What kind of eyes do you have? Look at that nose, those eyes. Although he looks somewhat like me, he's obviously not as handsome as me. This guy looks like the kind of pretty boy whose body has been ruined by alcohol and women. Unlike me, I'm upright and righteous, and I look like a pillar of the country."

Guo Yang was stunned.

He looked down at the photo, then looked up at Chen Zhi.

The boy in the photo is wearing a white T-shirt, and Chen Zhi is also wearing a white T-shirt.

The boy in the photo has a sharply defined profile, and Chen Zhi's face also has a sharply defined profile.

Aside from the photo being a bit blurry, it's clearly the same person!

"Bro, that's not funny at all." Guo Yang persisted, zooming in on the photo and pointing at the clothes, "These clothes, this hairstyle, this..."

"It's a hot seller on Taobao, only 9.9 yuan with free shipping. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of people wearing the same thing all over the school." Chen Zhi interrupted him, pulled up a chair and sat down, letting out a long sigh. His tone was full of helplessness about life. "If I could really ride in a Rolls-Royce, would I still be squeezing into a four-person room with you guys? I would have rented a big apartment outside long ago, and I would need two maids, one to feed me and one to massage my feet."

Upon hearing this, most of the doubt in Guo Yang's eyes vanished.

indeed.

If someone could hook up with a rich woman of that caliber, who would still want to live in this shabby dorm? That would be crazy!

Guo Yang put away his phone with some regret. He had thought that his dormitory had produced a genius who lived off a woman, and that he could benefit from her and live a good life.

"That's true." Guo Yang plopped down next to Chen Zhi, extending his hand familiarly. "Let's get acquainted. Guo Yang, from Tianjin, just call me Fatty. That's Li Zicong, a native of Beijing. And that's Zhang Tianyang, from Jiangsu Province."

"Chen Zhi, from Jiangcheng." Chen Zhi smiled and shook Guo Yang's hand. "Please take care of me in the future."

"Sure, sure!" Guo Yang was a natural at making friends and a chatterbox, so he immediately started explaining, "Chen Zhi, you're new here and don't know, something big has happened at our Guanghua College! A freshman goddess arrived in a Rolls-Royce Phantom! The forum is in an uproar, everyone's trying to find out who the guy who brought her is."

Chen Zhi asked casually, "Oh? Is that goddess pretty?"

"Beautiful? 'Beautiful' doesn't even begin to describe her; she's a femme fatale." Guo Yang's face trembled with excitement. "Someone got a picture of her face, those legs, that waist… and she's supposedly the daughter of a top tycoon. Sigh, I wonder which bastard will end up with this kind of rich and beautiful woman."

Chen Zhi touched his nose.

Excuse me, it is indeed I, your humble self.

Li Zicong, who was fixing his hair, turned around. This guy was dressed in designer clothes and wore a green Submariner on his wrist. He was obviously a rich guy.

"Alright, Fatty, stop daydreaming." Li Zicong tossed his hair. "This level of social circle has nothing to do with us. That's a Rolls-Royce Phantom, worth over ten million, and it even comes with a chauffeur. People who can afford to ride in that car must have assets of at least a hundred million. Let's talk about what to eat later."

Chen Zhi nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's too far. Let's be realistic and think about how to fill our stomachs for lunch."

"That's right, that's right." Guo Yang's attention was immediately diverted. He patted his stomach and said, "To celebrate the fact that everyone in 404 is here, shouldn't we have something nice for lunch?"

Chen Zhi waved his hand generously, exclaiming, "I'll treat you all to a meal at the school cafeteria! Beef noodles are all you can order, and you can add as much cilantro and scallions as you like—don't hold back!"

"Get lost! This is our first meal?" Guo Yang rolled his eyes. "You're so stingy."

This interruption immediately livened up the atmosphere in the dormitory.

Li Zicong smiled, took out his car keys from his pocket and waved them: "Alright, the first meal is on me. There's a good hot pot place near the east gate of the school called Beihua Hot Pot. It's an old brand, and it's about 200 yuan per person, which isn't too expensive."

Two hundred yuan per person is a huge sum for ordinary students, but it's nothing for these individuals.

After all, those who can get into Yuanpei are either provincial champions or gold medalists in competitions, and they can get so many scholarships that they can't count them all.

Guo Yang's eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed over to hug Li Zicong's leg: "Godfather! Brother Li, you are my godfather!"

……

Ten minutes later.

The four students from the dormitory marched in a grand procession toward the east gate.

It was lunchtime, and the entrance to Beihua Hot Pot was packed with people, mostly students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities who came to have a meal together.

The four people stood at the door, looking at the queue number slip they had received that read "38 tables ahead," and exchanged bewildered glances.

"This...it's a bit crowded." Zhang Tianyang shrank his neck. "How about we go to another place?"

"Since we're already here..."

"We can't just give up halfway."

Just as the four of them were frowning in worry, a voice called out to Chen Zhi.

"Chen Zhi!"

Chen Zhi froze.

Not far away, Pei Ningxue was resting her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at him.

She changed her clothes, wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, and her hair was tied in a ponytail. She looked youthful and energetic, having shed the air of a rich young lady from yesterday.

She beckoned to Chen Zhi with her finger.

"Holy crap..." Guo Yang followed the gaze and his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Isn't that the radiant goddess from the forum?!"

Li Zicong was also stunned: "He's even better looking in person than in photos."

Chen Zhi pretended not to know him and turned to run away.

But Pei Ningxue clearly had no intention of letting him go.

She stood up and walked over.

As she passed by, the previously noisy waiting area became much quieter, and countless eyes were focused on her.

Pei Ningxue walked up to Chen Zhi, ignoring her three roommates who were staring in disbelief, and naturally took Chen Zhi's arm.

"What a coincidence? You're here for hot pot too?"

Pei Ningxue pointed to her table, "There are four of us, let's share a table."

Chen Zhi's three roommates were instantly petrified.

"Um...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Chen Zhi tried to argue. "There are four of us grown men who eat a lot and have terrible table manners. We're afraid it might scare you."

"It's okay, it's on me." Pei Ningxue didn't wait for a reply and pulled him inside. "Perfect timing, my roommate also wants to meet you."

Want to see me?

Chen Zhi felt like dying.

This is going to cause trouble.

Under the murderous gazes of his three roommates, Chen Zhi was pulled to the large table at the very back.

Pei Ningxue pressed him down to sit next to her.

Then, Guo Yang, Li Zicong, and Zhang Tianyang followed in a daze, not knowing what to do with their hands and feet.

There was no way around it; the four girls sitting across from me were just too good.

Aside from Pei Ningxue, the big devil, the other three are also unique and beautiful, the kind of beauties who would turn heads wherever they go.

The three young virgins had never seen anything like this before, and they sat up straight, not daring to even breathe loudly.

In contrast, Chen Zhi had already skillfully picked up the menu and started ordering.

"Four portions of tripe, five portions of hand-cut mutton..."

Pei Ningxue's short-haired roommate kept scrutinizing Chen Zhi with a critical eye.

Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, handsome, you're Chen Zhi? What's your relationship with Ningxue?"

These words were spoken.

The entire table fell silent instantly.

Guo Yang perked up his ears, Li Zicong put down his phone, and even Zhang Tianyang, who was somewhat socially awkward, looked up.

This is the question that everyone cares about most.

Pei Ningxue turned her head, looked at Chen Zhi, and revealed a mischievous smile.

She seemed to be asserting her dominance: "He is mine..."

Chen Zhi wouldn't let her speak and immediately interrupted her: "We are half-siblings!"

"???"

Everyone at the table had a row of question marks on their foreheads.

Guo Yang's mouth dropped open: "Half-siblings...?"

The short-haired roommate was also confused. This handsome guy is good-looking, so why is he not quite right in the head?

Chen Zhi wore a deep expression of reminiscing about the past.

"It's a long story."

He sighed, gazing intently out the window as if a bygone era of great hardship lay hidden there.

"It was a stormy morning, and I was jogging in a park in Jiangcheng. I happened to run into Pei Ningxue and her grandfather, who were doing their morning exercise in the park."

Everyone was taken aback by his storytelling tone, and one by one they put down their chopsticks and focused on eating melons.

Chen Zhi continued his fabrication: "The situation was extremely critical! Her grandfather suddenly suffered a relapse of his hidden illness, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over; he was on the verge of death! The surrounding doctors were helpless, and even the ambulance was stuck in traffic!"

Guo Yang listened intently: "And then?"

"And then?" Chen Zhiyi slammed his hand on the table. "I happened to be passing by! I saw that the old man's face was dark, and he was on the verge of death. I couldn't bear it! So I immediately pulled out my ancestral eighty-one silver needles from my pocket!"

"I immediately unleashed my Chen family's secret technique—the Taiyi Rejuvenating Needle! With a few swift needle strikes, it was like snatching someone from the jaws of death! A flash of golden light, and her grandfather 'whooshed' out a mouthful of black blood, instantly sitting up!"

Pei Ningxue: "..."

Completely ignoring the murderous glare beside him, Chen Zhi spoke with great enthusiasm, "After her grandfather woke up, he was so moved that tears streamed down his face! He grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go, insisting that I was an exceptional person and that he wanted to marry his most beloved granddaughter to me!"

At this point, Chen Zhi shook his head with a regretful expression.

"It's a pity, my master had already arranged a marriage for me, saying that women down the mountain are tigers and that I couldn't break the rules. I could only refuse the old man's good intentions with tears in my eyes."

"The old man was so regretful. In the end, he had no choice but to say that since he couldn't be his granddaughter's husband, he would be her godson! So..."

Chen Zhi shrugged, looking at everyone with a sincere expression: "From then on, Pei Ningxue and I became half-siblings. Her grandfather was my grandfather, and her father was my father. Our relationship is even closer than that of biological siblings!"

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Pei Ningxue with a kind expression: "Right, little sister?"

"..."

Guo Yang's jaw had dropped to the ground.

Li Zicong looked down at his phone, pretending he didn't know this lunatic.

Pei Ningxue's roommates were even more dumbfounded. This plot... why does it sound so much like an urban dragon king's son-in-law novel?

"Oh."

A cold laugh broke the silence.

Pei Ningxue looked at Chen Zhi, her smile so bright it sent chills down one's spine.

She stomped hard on Chen Zhi's foot under the table.

"Hiss—!" Chen Zhi gasped in pain.

"Yes, brother."

Pei Ningxue gritted her teeth, her voice so gentle it could melt water, "Since we're siblings, you'll have to take good care of me at school from now on."

She picked up a strainer, filled a bowl with mutton, and placed it heavily in front of Chen Zhi.

"Come on, eat more mutton, it'll help nourish your brain."

"After all, the art of Taiyi Rejuvenating Needle should not be lost."

Chen Zhi looked at the bowl piled high with mutton.

He suddenly realized.

This food is a little too hot to eat.

"Um..." Guo Yang raised his hand timidly, "Although this story is very touching, I have a question."

"What?"

"Since you're a miracle doctor, why did you say you were a poor student in the dorm earlier?"

Chen Zhi remained unfazed: "The truly wise live in seclusion, don't you understand? Even a miracle doctor needs to make a living, and he needs to go to university too. Besides, if I revealed my identity and people kept coming to me for treatment, how would I study?"

"Awesome." Guo Yang gave a thumbs up. Although he didn't believe a word of it, he was completely impressed by Chen Zhi's shamelessness. "Brother Chen, I'll be counting on you if I ever have a headache or fever!"

"No problem, no problem. As long as the money is right, I can even get you out of the clutches of the King of Hell."

Watching Chen Zhi earnestly trying to fool his roommate, Pei Ningxue laughed in exasperation.

Row.

Chen Zhi.

Are they half-siblings?

Taiyi Rejuvenating Needle, right?

Tonight I'll show you what a sister's love is.

It's not that I'm being lazy; there's just a lot going on with the Lunar New Year approaching, so updates have been a bit slower.
