The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

Just as Chen Zhigang finished dealing with Zhao Jin's mess, his phone rang in his pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was a WeChat message from Lin Wanwan.

"Chen Zhi, Chen Zhi! I have a surprise for you tonight!"

The message was followed by three lively rabbit emojis.

As Chen Zhi looked at the message, the expression on his face softened unconsciously.

What new tricks is this silly girl planning to pull this time?

He was about to type a reply when Lin Wanwan's second message popped up.

"I'm at your school gate right now! Come pick me up!"

Chen Zhi froze.

At the entrance of Peking University?

He glanced at his watch; it was 3:30 PM.

At this time, shouldn't Lin Wanwan be practicing singing in the classroom of the Central Conservatory of Music?

"Why did you come here? Aren't you going to class?"

"I'm taking the day off! I have something important to do today!"

Lin Wanwan sent a smug emoji of someone wearing sunglasses.

"Come quick, come quick, I'm waiting for you at the West Gate!"

Chen Zhi put away his phone, gave Dai Dama a brief explanation, and turned to leave.

When he arrived at the West Gate, he saw a girl wearing a white hoodie and light blue jeans standing there from afar.

Lin Wanwan, with her hair tied in a high ponytail and carrying a bulging bag in her arms, was standing on tiptoe, peering into the campus.

His youthful and invincible appearance attracted the attention of many male students entering and leaving the school.

"Chen Zhi!"

Lin Wanwan spotted him immediately, then stood on tiptoe and waved her arms vigorously.

Chen Zhi walked over quickly and naturally reached out to take the bag from her hand.

"It's so heavy, what's it carrying?"

Lin Wanwan hid the bag behind her back, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled mysteriously.

"I won't tell you! You'll find out soon enough!"

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow.

"Fine, then you have to tell me what you came all this way for?"

"I'll take you somewhere!"

Without saying a word, Lin Wanwan grabbed his hand and excitedly pulled him towards the campus.

"I guarantee you'll love it!"

Chen Zhi was pulled by her small hand, and they crossed most of the campus, bypassing the bustling teaching area.

Finally, the two stopped in front of an old-looking teaching building.

"This is……"

Chen Zhi looked at the Soviet-style building in front of him, its walls somewhat mottled, and was puzzled.

"This is an old music practice room at Peking University!"

Lin Wanwan turned around, her eyes sparkling in the afternoon sunlight, full of anticipation.

"I already found out; this building is practically deserted, especially at this time of afternoon. Plus, the music rooms here have excellent soundproofing!"

When Chen Zhi heard the words "excellent soundproofing," his heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.

"You wouldn't happen to be...?"

"right!"

Lin Wanwan excitedly interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

I want to sing for you!

Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, I thought this girl was going to do something earth-shattering in broad daylight.

"this one?"

"What do you mean, 'that's all'?!"

Lin Wanwan immediately puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"I even asked my teacher for half a day off to come here! And I brought so many things with me!"

She proudly shook the heavy bag in her hand.

"Let's go, let's go inside and talk!"

The two entered the teaching building. The corridor was empty, with only the echoing sound of their footsteps. Lin Wanwan had clearly done her homework, and she led Chen Zhi to the third floor with ease, pushing open the door to a music room at the very end of the corridor.

The room was small, about ten square meters. Against the wall stood an upright piano with a slightly worn finish, and next to it were two wooden chairs.

The old wooden window was open, and you could see large swathes of sycamore trees outside, swaying gently in the breeze.

Lin Wanwan put the big bag on the ground and started taking things out.

First, she carefully laid a blue and white checkered tablecloth on the wooden floor.

Then came potato chips, jelly, chocolate bars and other snacks, as well as washed grapes and strawberries, and two bottles of chilled juice.

Finally, she pulled out a Bluetooth speaker the size of her palm.

"Are you... planning a picnic in the music room?"

Chen Zhi looked at the things she had laid out on the ground and smiled helplessly.

"Yes!"

Lin Wanwan clapped her hands, very satisfied with her masterpiece.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time. We haven't had a quiet time alone together like this in a long time. You're busy starting your business every day, and I have to record shows and teach classes. Every time we meet, it's always a rush."

She sat cross-legged on the checkered cloth, tilting her small face up to look at Chen Zhi, her voice carrying a hint of grievance.

"So I thought, let's find a place where no one will bother us, just the two of us, and spend a nice afternoon together."

Chen Zhi's heart softened.

He walked over and sat down next to Lin Wanwan.

"Silly girl."

Lin Wanwan leaned her head on his shoulder, her voice soft and sweet.

"I'm not stupid. I just miss you."

Chen Zhi raised his arm and put his arm around her slender shoulder without saying a word.

The two of them nestled together quietly.

A breeze blew in through the window, carrying the refreshing coolness of early autumn, and ruffled the girl's hair, making it tickle.

"Oh, right!"

Lin Wanwan suddenly sat up straight, turned her head, and looked at Chen Zhi with her big eyes blinking.

"I just said I was going to sing you a song, but you haven't heard it yet!"

Before Chen Zhi could react, she stood up, jogged over, and sat down in front of the old piano.

Long, slender, fair fingers gently pressed a few notes on the piano keys, which were covered with a thin layer of dust, adjusting the pitch.

"I recently learned a new song, it's really good."

Lin Wanwan turned around and winked playfully at Chen Zhi.

I'll sing it for you.

A melodious prelude flowed from her fingertips.

It's a love song with a very gentle and soothing melody.

Lin Wanwan's voice was clean and clear, without the techniques she learned in school, yet it carried a natural, comforting power.

Chen Zhi leaned against the cold wall, quietly watching her back.

The afternoon sun slanted in through the old window, shining on her soft hair and fair profile.

At this moment, Chen Zhi's mind was free of the pressure of starting a business, the troubles of dealing with several girls, and all those messy calculations and schemes.

The whole world seemed to consist only of the girl singing for him and her pure, clean voice.

The song ended.

Lin Wanwan turned around, her hands still on the piano keys, looking at Chen Zhi with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"How is it? Does it sound good?"

Chen Zhi stood up and walked step by step to her.

"It sounds nice."

He lowered his head and gently placed a kiss on her smooth forehead.

"My Wanwan sings everything beautifully."

Lin Wanwan's cheeks flushed instantly, and she shyly pushed Chen Zhi away.

"Glib-tongued."

Chen Zhi chuckled, took her hand, and sat down on the checkered cloth.

Lin Wanwan opened a bag of tomato-flavored potato chips, picked up a chip, and offered it to Chen Zhi's mouth.

"By the way, what have you been up to lately? It sounds so mysterious."

Chen Zhi opened his mouth and bit into the potato chip, crunching it down.

"Working on AI involves recruiting staff, debugging equipment, and that's about it."

"Wow, that sounds amazing."

Lin Wanwan rested her chin on her hand, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

"My boyfriend is amazing."

Chen Zhi was amused by her fangirl-like behavior.

"You're so good at saying nice things."

That's just how it is.

Lin Wanwan pouted and retorted defiantly.

"When I talked about you with my roommates, they were all so envious. They said I found a boyfriend who is both handsome and talented."

Chen Zhi's heart tightened.

"What...what did you tell them about me?"

"Just say you're from Peking University, that you're an excellent student and a very nice person."

Lin Wanwan counted on her fingers with a serious expression.

"Most importantly, they're really good to me."

Chen Zhi suddenly felt a little guilty.

If this silly girl knew that her boyfriend, whom she described as "especially good to her," had secretly touched another girl's thigh during a large lecture today, and that girl had even invited him to "treat her" at Weiming Lake...

He dared not think any further and quickly and abruptly changed the subject.

"How about you? How's the recording going?"

"It's alright."

Lin Wanwan tore open a packet of jelly, tilted her head back, and took a big gulp, her cheeks puffing out.

"My mentor is very good to me, it's just that some of the students..."

She paused here, then didn't continue.

Chen Zhi noticed that she seemed a little down.

"What's wrong? Did someone bully you?"

"It's not really bullying."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, somewhat helplessly.

"There are a few trainees who are always talking badly about me behind my back. They say I only advanced because of connections, and that I don't have any singing skills at all, and that I only rely on my looks."

Chen Zhi's eyebrows furrowed.

"Isn't the production team doing anything about it?"

"What can the production team do?"

Lin Wanwan forced a bitter smile.

"They didn't say it to my face, it was all spread secretly in private. Besides, that's how it is in the entertainment industry, when someone becomes popular, there will definitely be people who are jealous."

Chen Zhi remained silent for a while, without saying anything.

"So what do you plan to do?"

"What else can we do?"

Lin Wanwan shrugged, but her eyes revealed a defiant spirit.

"Let my talent speak for itself. Next time I'm going to participate in a singing competition, and I'm going to sing a super difficult song. I want everyone to see that I, Lin Wanwan, am not just a pretty face."

Looking at her stubborn yet earnest little face, Chen Zhi felt both heartache and pride.

"Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

Lin Wanwan shook her head, her attitude resolute.

"This is my own war, and I will win it myself."

She looked up and gave Chen Zhi a bright smile.

"You just need to keep me company when I'm tired, like you did today."

Chen Zhi reached out and affectionately ruffled her hair.

"Okay, then I'll be in charge of charging you."

The two chatted for a while longer when Lin Wanwan suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, you said you'd take me out for something delicious, when are you going to keep your promise?"

Chen Zhi thought for a moment.

"How about this weekend? I'll take you out for Peking duck to help you recover."

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Wanwan immediately perked up, her eyes lighting up.

"I want to eat at Quanjude!"

"Okay, whatever you say."

Chen Zhi smiled and readily agreed.

Time slipped away second by second amidst their laughter and playful banter.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened, tinged with the orange hues of the sunset.

Lin Wanwan glanced at the time on her phone and stood up reluctantly.

"Oh dear, I should go back now. I have a major class tonight."

Chen Zhi also stood up and helped her clean up the mess on the floor.

The two walked out of the old music room and went downstairs side by side.

The dim yellow streetlights have already lit up the campus.

Chen Zhi escorted Lin Wanwan all the way to the west gate and watched her get into a taxi.

"Be careful on the road, and message me when you arrive."

"Um!"

Lin Wanwan leaned against the car window, waving to him reluctantly.

"Remember to think of me!"

Chen Zhi smiled and nodded, watching the yellow taxi merge into the evening rush hour traffic until it disappeared from sight.
