The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

The bathroom door was half open.

Li Zhiyi stood sideways against the door frame.

Her hair was still wet, her face was still damp, and her eyes were a little red.

She kept her head down, her fingers gripping the doorframe tightly, as if she were being punished.

Chen Zhi leaned back on the sofa, shifted to a more comfortable position, and didn't move.

"come over."

Li Zhiyi's feet seemed rooted to the ground, her voice muffled: "No, don't tell me to go over there..."

"Stop dawdling, come here."

She then slowly moved over.

I sat down at the other end of the sofa, deliberately keeping a safe distance from Chen Zhi.

The fingers of both hands were intertwined.

She stared at her knees, hesitated for a long time, and finally managed to squeeze out, "Um... are you... still in pain?"

Chen Zhi remained silent for a second.

"All healed."

"oh."

Another long silence followed.

"You...you scoundrel." She struggled for a long time before finally managing to utter this curse, her voice barely audible, like a mosquito's hum.

Chen Zhi shamelessly leaned closer: "Attorney Li, this is unreasonable. You were the one who offered to help just now, and I couldn't stop you."

"I thought it was..." Li Zhiyi stamped her feet anxiously.

She was too ashamed to say the rest.

This is outrageous!

"Alright." Chen Zhi was too lazy to waste words, so he reached out and pulled her into his arms.

He pressed his large hand against her head, letting her lean on his shoulder.

"Why think so much? You'll get the hang of it with more practice."

"You still dare to talk back!" Li Zhiyi opened her mouth and bit his shoulder.

I didn't use much force, so I didn't even leave a tooth mark.

Li Zhiyi stopped resisting and obediently snuggled into his arms.

The two remained silent for a while.

The sky outside the window is getting darker.

Occasionally, a car horn would pierce through the floor-to-ceiling windows and then quickly disappear into the clouds.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um."

"do you like me?"

Chen Zhi did not answer immediately.

Li Zhiyi waited a few seconds, feeling a little flustered.

She turned her face to the side and looked up at him.

"Don't you like it?"

"like."

His tone lacked emotional fluctuation, unlike a heartfelt confession; rather, it sounded like he was answering a very simple question.

Li Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

She buried her face in his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist.

That's enough.

For her, those two words were enough to offset all her grievances and anxieties.

The two snuggled together for a while longer.

Chen Zhi glanced down at his watch; it was almost six o'clock.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

"without."

"Have it delivered from guest room, you choose." He casually tossed the gold-embossed menu from the coffee table over.

Li Zhiyi opened the menu, and her eyes widened after just one glance.

"This... a plate of Yangzhou fried rice costs two hundred and eighty?"

Her hands trembled as she turned the pages, and she looked hesitantly at Chen Zhi: "Isn't it too expensive...?"

Chen Zhi was amused by her naive and unsophisticated attitude.

"You just did that kind of thing, and you're still talking to me about money?"

Li Zhiyi clutched the menu, her face flushed crimson.

She slapped the menu right in his face.

"Shut up!"

Chen Zhi smiled and took the menu down, then casually grabbed her wrist, which was still waving around wildly.

"Order, it's on me."

Li Zhiyi absolutely refused to order, feeling that the hotel was robbing her.

Chen Zhi had no choice but to take the menu himself and recite a list of dishes to the room service phone.

Boston lobster, premium Wagyu beef, black truffle soup...

Half an hour later.

A food cart was pushed in, and a whole table was set up.

Li Zhiyi sat at the dining table, holding a knife and fork, eating cautiously.

Chen Zhi cut a piece of Wagyu beef and held it to her lips.

Open your mouth.

Li Zhiyi obediently opened her mouth and bit down.

After chewing a couple of times, she suddenly frowned and rubbed her cheeks.

"What's wrong? Does it not taste good?" Chen Zhi asked.

"No..." Li Zhiyi blushed, her voice barely audible, "It's a bit sour... I can't chew it."

Chen Zhi was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

That really strained my jaw.

He suppressed a laugh, took the steak away, and replaced it with a bowl of soft and sticky scallop seafood porridge, pushing it in front of her.

"Okay, then we'll have something soft today. Thank you for your hard work, Attorney Li."

Li Zhiyi buried her head in the bowl, wishing she could soak her entire face in the porridge.

She was terrified during the meal, fearing that Chen Zhi might utter some more offensive words.

It's almost eight o'clock.

Chen Zhi paid the bill and then took Li Zhiyi back to Renmin University.

We arrived at the east gate of the school.

Li Zhiyi got out of the car and stood by the roadside to tie her scarf.

She glanced back at Chen Zhi in the car, then suddenly ran back and clung to the car window.

She tiptoed and quickly rubbed her lips against his.

It's light and airy, with a subtle strawberry candy sweetness.

"See you tomorrow."

Then he turned and ran.

She pushed open the school's revolving door, took a few steps, and then turned back to wave at him.

Watching that slender figure disappear into the night, Chen Zhi touched the spot where he had been kissed, feeling great.

It was a little after nine o'clock at night.

Chen Zhi whistled as he pushed open the door to room 404.

As soon as I entered, I heard a clear and resonant broadcast voice.

"New ideas, striving to be new youth, welcome to this session of Youth University Study."

Zhang Tianyang was wearing headphones, staring at the computer screen, taking notes in a small notebook, and browsing the Youth University Study app on his phone.

Seeing Chen Zhi return, Zhang Tianyang looked up and greeted him, "Brother Zhi, you're back."

Chen Zhi nodded and took off his coat, hanging it on the headboard.

Upon hearing this, Li Zicong turned his swivel chair around.

Seeing Chen Zhi's beaming face, Li Zicong curiously came closer.

"Brother Zhi, did something good happen to you today? Why are you so happy?"

Children should mind their own business.

Chen Zhi kicked off his shoes and put on slippers.

He turned around and glanced around, only to realize that the atmosphere in the dormitory was a bit strange today.

At this time of day, they are usually either playing games, watching movies, or scrolling through videos.

Now they are all sitting upright at their desks, with thick textbooks spread out in front of them.

Chen Zhi couldn't help but feel curious.

"What day is it today? Did the sun rise in the west? Everyone's studying?"

Guo Yang looked at Chen Zhi with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Final exams are coming up soon, Zhige, we're studying all night. How's your advanced math going?"

Holy crap?

Chen Zhi's smile froze instantly.

"Final exams?"

He took out his phone and glanced at the calendar.

Late December.

In the past few months, he has been busy with financing for Deep Space Technology, and also has to frantically try to balance the relationship between three women: Lin Wanwan, Pei Ningxue, and Li Zhiyi.

He's almost forgotten which class he's in!

When is the exam?

"Next Monday," Li Zicong said, flipping through his advanced mathematics textbook. "The first exam is 'Advanced Mathematics A.' Zhi-ge, you don't even know the exam date, do you?"

Chen Zhi fell silent.

He walked to his desk and opened the drawer.

I pulled out a brand new copy of "Advanced Mathematics" from the very bottom.

Upon closer inspection, it was even cleaner than his face.

There wasn't even a crease, let alone any notes.

Guo Yang leaned over for a look, then clicked his tongue and shook his head.

"Brother Zhi, you've taken good care of this book. Even if you sell it secondhand after the exam, it'll be considered 99% new."

Li Zicong chimed in, "Brother Zhi, Yuanpei High School has a history of failing courses. If you fail, your scholarship for next year will be gone."

Chen Zhishen took a deep breath and slammed his calculus book on the table.

He is the founder of Deep Space Technology.

The behind-the-scenes tycoon who controls unicorn companies valued at hundreds of billions.

Even the director of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has to give him some face.

Now I'm facing the crisis of failing my course?

If word gets out, where will Mr. Chen's reputation be?

"It's just advanced mathematics," Chen Zhiqiang said, feigning composure as he pulled out a chair and sat down. "How could mere calculus possibly stump a top science student like me?"

He opened the first chapter and glanced at the limit formula.

Two minutes later.

Chen Zhi silently closed the book.

can't read.

Completely incomprehensible.

He recognized each of the symbols individually, but when put together, they were like a book written in a foreign language.

Although he was a test-taker in his previous life, so many years have passed that he has long forgotten all that knowledge.

Chen Zhi turned around, a fawning smile plastered on his face. "Teacher, you've highlighted the key points these past few days, right? Can I borrow your review materials to copy?"

Guo Yang cautiously covered his notebook.

"Brother Zhi, this is the essence of what I've compiled over three days and three nights. You want to get it for free?"

"One meal of Beihua Hot Pot!" Chen Zhi quoted directly.

"Deal!" Guo Yang pushed the notebook over without hesitation.

Chen Zhi opened Guo Yang's notebook, but after reading only two lines, his brows furrowed again.

"What kind of crap is this? It looks like a dog's scribbles."

"Take it or leave it." Guo Yang rolled his eyes. "I call this wild cursive script, you know?"

Chen Zhi sighed.

It seems relying on my roommate won't work.
