The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

In November, it seemed as if the heavens were trying to make up for last year's snowfall; before the twelfth lunar month even arrived, heavy snow had been falling non-stop.

The basement level of Science Building No. 1.

Deep Space Technology's data center was originally a backup facility, so it was not equipped with heating.

The offices of Deep Space Technology are currently empty.

"This lousy place isn't even fit for a dog."

Chen Zhi sniffed and exhaled a puff of white air.

To prevent those precious geniuses from Tsinghua and Peking University from freezing, Chen Zhi made a sweeping decision to have everyone work from home.

Since the most important work has been completed, it doesn't matter where the remaining maintenance work is done.

The busiest period is finally over.

With the emergence of Moss, Deep Space Technology has established a firm foothold in the industry.

Right now, the only major issue left is fundraising, and the workload isn't as heavy as it used to be.

Chen Zhi was happy to have some free time.

But he soon discovered that a relaxed work life often meant the explosion of emotional debts.

He really went a bit "inhuman" lately in his pursuit of Moss.

Aside from occasionally going back to the dorm to sleep, he basically lives at the company. He hasn't been in touch with Lin Wanwan for several days, and he always takes a long time to reply to Li Zhiyi's messages.

Even scumbags have to have professional ethics.

Chen Zhi reflected on himself.

Now that I have some free time today, it's time to repair the fishpond.

He took out his phone and first tapped on Li Zhiyi's profile picture.

The reason I approached Li Zhiyi first was because this girl is so sensible it's heartbreaking. She never makes a fuss, and she's always happy as long as you pay attention to her.

In contrast, Lin Wanwan is more clingy, so it takes more time to coax her.

So he decided to appease Li Zhiyi first.

Chen Zhi typed:

Have you been studying diligently lately?

The other party replied instantly.

I study diligently every day.

Chen Zhi could even imagine the girl sitting in the Renmin University library or study room, her eyes suddenly lighting up when she saw the message.

She might keep her phone close at hand or stare at the screen, just waiting for this message that might arrive at any time.

Thinking about this, Chen Zhi felt a little uneasy, but he quickly suppressed the feeling.

So what else do besides studying?

The other side paused for a few seconds.

I'll wait for you to contact me.

This girl looks so obedient and well-behaved, but she's got a whole repertoire of flirting skills.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but smile.

[Besides these two things?]

【Miss you.】

Chen Zhi felt that if he didn't make some promise, he would really be struck by lightning.

I'll come see you tomorrow.

【Really?】

Seriously, I'll take you out for a nice meal, and while I'm at it, I'll check if you've lost weight.

Okay! I'll wait patiently for you to come!

Get one sorted out.

That's the beauty of Li Zhiyi; as long as you give her a little something sweet, she can make herself happy and even worry about whether you're too tired.

Chen Zhi put down his phone, took a sip of hot water, and adjusted his breathing.

The real battle is yet to come.

He opened Lin Wanwan's chat window.

The last message he received was four days ago, when Lin Wanwan sent him a photo of herself in the recording studio and asked him if it looked good.

He was busy adjusting parameters with Dai Dama at the time, and replied with "Good-looking".

And then... no more.

This is very dangerous.

Given Lin Wanwan's clingy personality, the fact that she hasn't sent any messages for four days means she's definitely preparing something big.

Chen Zhi took a deep breath and used the starting stance:

【Are you there?】

"Are you there? I'll start this game and conquer the world."

After sending the message, he put his phone on the table and stared at the screen.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes passed.

There was no movement.

"It's over." Chen Zhi sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

If Lin Wanwan sends a message like "Get lost" or "Where did you go?", it means there's no big problem, and a few words of comfort will suffice.

But the lack of any response indicates that the situation is more serious than he thought.

Chen Zhi, unwilling to give up, posted another message:

【precious?】

Still nothing.

Ten minutes later, Chen Zhi couldn't sit still any longer.

Could something have happened to this girl? Or maybe she was recording a show and didn't have her phone with her?

That's not right, we should have finished work long ago.

Chen Zhi made a voice call directly.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The bell rang for a short while.

The call was connected very quickly.

But there was no sound from the other end.

"Feed? Wanwan?"

Chen Zhi tentatively called out.

The other person didn't speak.

"Hey? Is the signal bad? Can you hear me?"

Chen Zhi raised his voice.

Still not speaking.

But he clearly heard a soft breathing sound coming from the other side.

The person is definitely there.

"Wanwan, say something! Is something wrong? If you don't say anything, I'm going to have a long phone call with another girl."

"You dare!"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately got angry.

Lin Wanwan's clear voice came over, filled with obvious annoyance and grievance.

"Finally speaking up?" Chen Zhi leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but laugh. "I thought your phone was broken."

"I'm giving you the silent treatment," Lin Wanwan said angrily.

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing.

Answering the phone immediately and then not saying anything—is that called passive-aggressive behavior?

"Why are you giving me the silent treatment?" Chen Zhi asked, suppressing a laugh.

"Because I'm angry."

"Why are you angry?"

"Who am I to you?" Lin Wanwan asked emotionlessly.

"You're my girlfriend, do you even need to ask?" Chen Zhiqiu's survival instincts were on full display.

"Then why haven't you called me all these days?"

"I've been thinking about you so much I'm almost depressed, I've even sung myself hoarse, and you haven't said a word."

Lin Wanwan's tone finally softened, taking on a slightly aggrieved, tearful quality, "Chen Zhi, are you seeing another vixen outside?"

"I'm innocent!"

Chen Zhi cried out that he was wronged, "I've been squatting in the cellar these past few days, and I haven't even seen a female mosquito. I've been too busy, Moss just went online, there are all sorts of bugs to fix, and all sorts of data to monitor. I'm practically spinning like a top."

"Excuse."

Lin Wanwan snorted, "Even if you're busy, you don't have time to send a WeChat message? I think you've just forgotten about me."

"How could I forget!"

Chen Zhi's mind raced. "I'm working hard for our future. Think about it, if I earn more money now, and you don't want to sing or stay in the entertainment industry anymore, I'll buy you an island, and we can sunbathe there every day. Wouldn't that be great?"

Silence fell again on the other end of the phone.

Chen Zhi fed it twice: "Why aren't you saying anything again?"

I haven't forgiven you yet.

Lin Wanwan snorted, "I'm still giving you the silent treatment."

Chen Zhi: "..."

"Fine, fine, how long are you going to use the silent treatment?" Chen Zhi asked helplessly.

"It depends on my mood."

"So how are you feeling now?"

"Not so good, I still really want to bite someone."

Chen Zhi smiled and softened his voice: "Don't be angry. I'll come find you tomorrow morning, okay? I'll take you out for something delicious, and then we'll go shopping. You can bite me wherever you want."

"real?"

"More real than real gold."

"Then I'm going to eat at the buffet."

"eat."

"I also want to buy that limited edition bag."

"purchase."

"I also need you to carry me on your back."

"back."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a haughty "Hmph."

"What does 'humph' mean?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Okay." The voice on the other end of the phone finally softened, filled with undisguised joy.

Lin Wanwan's voice regained its usual energy, "If you dare to be even a minute late tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, I'll really block you and never speak to you again for the rest of my life!"

"Yes, my lady."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhi felt like he had finally come back to life.

But at least we managed to appease this old lady.

I'll spend time with Lin Wanwan tomorrow morning, and then go see Li Zhiyi in the afternoon or evening.

Perfect time management.

Chen Zhi glanced at the time on his phone; it was 9:30 PM.

It's too cold in the basement. Now that everything's done, I might as well go back to the dorm to enjoy the warmth and maybe brag to my godson.

He packed his things, turned off the computer, wrapped his heavy military overcoat tightly around himself, and pushed open the door to Deep Space Technology.

A gust of cold wind, mixed with snowflakes, swept over me.

Chen Zhi hunched his shoulders and prepared to return to his dormitory.

I just stepped out of the main gate of Science Building No. 1.

Two blinding beams of light shone directly into his face, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.

"Who is it? Don't you have any sense of public decency?!"

Chen Zhi raised his hand to cover his eyes and shouted while cursing.

The lights went out.

Chen Zhi adjusted his eyes to the light before he could see the car parked at the entrance.

The black Rolls-Royce Phantom, with its little golden figure on the hood shining brightly in the snowy night.

The car window slowly rolled down.

A face of exquisite beauty, yet cold as ice, was revealed.

Pei Ningxue was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with a black coat over it, and her long hair was casually tied back.

"Mr. Chen, are you done with your work?"

Pei Ningxue tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel. "Who were you calling just now? You were laughing so happily."

Chen Zhi's heart skipped a beat.

broken.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he still overlooked the one right in front of him.

"Uh, I'm trying to build rapport with... with the investors," Chen Zhi lied without batting an eye. "Isn't this all for the future of our company?"

"Yeah?"

Pei Ningxue looked at him with a half-smile, "Then why did I hear something about 'biting wherever you want'? Are investors these days really that picky?"

Chen Zhi: "..."

Shouldn't the soundproofing in this basement be upgraded?

Pei Ningxue pushed open the car door, walked up to Chen Zhi, and gently straightened his collar.

"Lin Wanwan is tomorrow morning, and Li Zhiyi is tomorrow afternoon."

Pei Ningxue leaned close to Chen Zhi's ear, her warm breath brushing against his neck.

"So tonight..."

"Isn't it my turn?"

Chen Zhi looked at the stunningly beautiful woman in the snowy night and swallowed hard.

"Mr. Pei, isn't it a bit too cold tonight?"

Pei Ningxue curled the corners of her lips into a smile.

"fine."

"Let's go to my new house."

"I have heating."
