The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The foot under the table ground down again.

Chen Zhi's hand trembled, and a piece of freshly cooked beef fell back into the bowl with a "plop," splashing a few drops of chili oil.

"hiss--"

"Brother, why are you sweating?" Pei Ningxue tilted her head, feigning ignorance. "Is it because this mutton is too nourishing, and you're too weak to handle it?"

The others at the table stopped eating and all turned to look at them.

Chen Zhi forced a smile and took a tissue to wipe his forehead.

"Hehe, how could that be?"

"The hot pot was too hot; I was sweating all over while eating it."

As he spoke, he stretched his leg under the table, trying to hook away the wicked foot.

As it turned out, Pei Ningxue anticipated his prediction and pressed down with her other foot, using both feet simultaneously to firmly pin him to the spot.

"Then eat more." Pei Ningxue looked at him with a smile.

"Dad said that you're working hard studying away from home, so you need to take good care of your health so that you can carry on the family line in the future."

……

The meal was quite a spectacle.

Chen Zhi felt both pain and joy.

The good thing was that the Beihua hot pot was indeed authentic, but the bad thing was that Pei Ningxue, that vixen, was making little moves under the table the whole time, either rubbing against his calves or stepping on his insteps.

We were full and satisfied.

Looking at the mountain of plates piled on the table, Pei Ningxue's roommate made a suggestion.

"Well, let's split the bill."

Since everyone is a freshman and they don't know each other very well, AA is the best choice.

Li Zicong took out his phone and said, "I have a group for receiving payments, everyone please join..."

"No."

A cold voice interrupted him.

Pei Ningxue wiped her mouth with a tissue and casually took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to the waiter.

"How can that be!" Guo Yang exclaimed anxiously. "There's no reason for a girl to pay for the meal."

"It's okay."

Pei Ningxue walked behind Chen Zhi, put her hands on his shoulders, bent down slightly, and smiled at her three roommates who were stunned.

"My older brother has always been smart, but he's not very good at taking care of himself. We'll be sharing a dorm room, so I'll have to ask you all to take good care of him."

"Consider this meal my way of paying protection money for him as his younger sister."

Guo Yang opened his mouth wide, looking at Pei Ningxue, then at Chen Zhi, who looked utterly hopeless.

"Um... little sister, you're too kind!" Guo Yang swallowed hard, then immediately changed his tune, "From now on, Chen Zhi is my brother! If anyone dares to bully him, I, Guo Yang, will be the first to object!"

"Thank you then."

Pei Ningxue smiled with such gentle and virtuous grace.

The waiter returned after swiping the card and handed the receipt to Pei Ningxue.

Step out of the hotel.

"Alright, you guys can go back now."

Pei Ningxue showed no intention of letting go of Chen Zhi's arm. "I still need to talk to my brother about something."

The three roommates exchanged glances.

He gave a knowing look.

"We understand! We understand!"

Guo Yang chuckled and patted Chen Zhi on the shoulder. "Brother Chen, you must take good care of your sister! Don't rush back to the dorm, really, I'll cover for you during tonight's room check!"

Li Zicong gave Chen Zhi a meaningful look: "Take care of yourself. You just ate kidneys, don't waste them."

After saying that, the three of them, as if afraid of disturbing something good, ran off arm in arm.

Chen Zhi sighed as he watched the three disloyal figures disappear around the street corner.

"Alright, everyone's gone, let go." Chen Zhi moved his arm.

Pei Ningxue didn't let go; instead, she pulled him into a dimly lit alleyway.

"What? Are you trying to kill me to cover your tracks?" Chen Zhi asked warily.

"My bed isn't made yet, and I have a class meeting tonight, so I'll head back now."

"How come nothing's wrong?"

Pei Ningxue pushed him into the shadows of the alley, where the streetlights were out of reach, and only a faint light shone from afar, creating a perfectly ambiguous atmosphere.

She pushed Chen Zhi against the wall, then pressed her whole body against him.

Pei Ningxue clutched her heaving chest, her brows furrowed, revealing a heartbroken expression.

"I'm sick and waiting for my brother to cure me with the Taiyi Rejuvenating Needle."

Chen Zhi looked at the pretty face so close to his face and smelled the faint fragrance emanating from her body, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

This demon really doesn't intend to let him live.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhi asked cooperatively. "You seemed to be enjoying your meal just now, you don't look sick."

"Mental illness."

Pei Ningxue grabbed Chen Zhi's hand and pressed it against her heart.

Beneath my palm was a soft surface and the rhythmic sound of a heartbeat.

"Every night I think about my brother so much that my heart aches, and I can't sleep." She looked up, her eyes glazed, her voice trembling slightly, "Brother, please come and heal me."

Grass.

Who the hell can handle this?

Even if Liu Xiahui were here, he would have to kneel down and sing "Conquer" before this vixen.

"Okay, cure."

"Since my sister is so ill, we need to use strong medicine."

He reached out and lifted Pei Ningxue's delicate chin.

He then lowered his head and gave her a hard kiss on those rosy lips.

"Well……"

The brief touch felt like an electric current coursing through my body.

When they parted, Pei Ningxue's cheeks were flushed, and she looked incredibly charming.

She stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, seemingly savoring the taste from before.

"this one?"

Pei Ningxue snorted in dissatisfaction, tracing circles on Chen Zhi's chest with her finger. "Quack doctor. Is that all?"

Chen Zhi took her hand down, held it in his palm, and said in a serious tone, "This kind of illness can't be rushed; it needs to be treated slowly."

"cut."

Pei Ningxue rolled her eyes, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

She leaned close to Chen Zhi's ear and said, "I might have to take this medicine 365 days a year, for 80 years to get better."

"and……"

She paused, then said with a mischievous smile, "It also needs to be combined with that Taiyi Divine Needle to be cured."

Chen Zhi: "..."

He took a deep breath, turned around and left.

"Pei Ningxue, I advise you to be kind. Otherwise, one day I will show you what real acupuncture is."

A silvery laugh came from behind me.

"Coward~ I'm waiting for that injection!"

……

Back to dormitory 404.

Chen Zhi pushed open the door and entered, and the previously noisy dormitory instantly fell silent.

Three pairs of eyes all focused on him.

Guo Yang was the first to rush up, circled Chen Zhi three times, and even sniffed him.

"No perfume scent, no lipstick stains, and clothes are neat."

Guo Yang stroked his chin, his face full of disappointment. "Chen Zhi, you're hopeless! Such a beautiful woman dragged you to the grove, and you came back unscathed? Do you even deserve those two lamb kidneys?"

Chen Zhi threw her backpack on the bed and gave him a disgruntled look.

"Dirty thoughts."

As he took bed sheets and duvet covers from the closet, he said righteously, "I've told you all, we're half-siblings. When a sister confides in her brother, it's pure familial affection, understand?"

"Pah!"

Zhang Tianyang couldn't stand it anymore. "Can family ties really be so strong? Just now at the dinner table, the way he looked at me made me blush."

"Are they really just siblings?" Li Zicong asked again, unwilling to give up.

Chen Zhi quickly put on the duvet cover without turning her head.

"Don't get me wrong, we really are just half-siblings."

"I don't believe you."

The three of them simultaneously raised their middle fingers.

However, seeing that Chen Zhi didn't want to say more, everyone stopped asking. After all, it was only the first day they had met, and some things needed to be explained slowly.

Chen Zhi climbed into bed, set up the mosquito net, and finally had his own little world.

He lay on the made-up mattress and exhaled a long breath.

I took out my phone and saw several unread messages on WeChat.

It was sent by Lin Wanwan.

Chen Zhi opened it.

It's a photograph.

The background is the practice room of the Central Conservatory of Music. Lin Wanwan is wearing a tight-fitting practice outfit and is stretching her legs, showing off her shapely figure.

Two audio clips follow.

[Wanwan: Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi! I have some good news for you!]

[Wanwan: My agent just told me that the company has got me a variety show gig, and I'll be filming it in a few days.]

[Wanwan: So I asked my advisor for leave. Does that mean I don't have to do military training? Hehe~ That's awesome! I heard the sun in Beijing is really strong, I'll definitely get a tan!]

After listening to the voice message, Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile.

This girl is really lucky.

While others are desperate to get into the entertainment industry, she had a constant stream of resources right after enrolling in school.

but……

No military training required?

Military training is a required course in university.

If we don't train this year, we'll have to train next year.

If you keep putting it off, you'll have to wait until your sophomore or junior year to practice marching and standing at attention with the younger students.

Chen Zhi looked at the screen, tapped a few times on the keyboard, and typed out a line: "Actually, university military training is a required course. If you don't do it this year, you'll have to do it next year..."

Chen Zhi stopped typing halfway through.

He thought about it for a moment, then deleted the line of text one by one.

Forget it, I'd better not tell her now. Let her be happy for a few days first.
