The divorce comeback system arrived right after I was born.

"You dare!"

Chen Zhi looked down at her.

"I forbid you to go see her." Li Zhiyi's voice trembled. "If you... if you dare to leave this room, I'll... I'll..."

"What will you do?"

Chen Zhi didn't move, watching her with great interest.

Li Zhiyi hesitated, then after a long pause, finally managed to utter, "I'm never talking to you again!"

After she finished speaking, her eyes reddened, she let go of his hand, turned around and faced away from Chen Zhi, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Chen Zhi sighed.

He reached out from behind and pulled Li Zhiyi into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head.

"Just kidding."

Li Zhiyi remained silent, her head bowed and her long hair hanging down beside her ears.

"Understand."

Chen Zhi turned her around and wiped away the tear hanging from the corner of her eye with his thumb.

"I was just teasing you, don't take it seriously."

"Then... what do you want?" Li Zhiyi sniffed and looked up at him.

Chen Zhi smiled.

"Give me a kiss."

Li Zhiyi paused for a moment, looked around to make sure there was no one else in the private room, and quickly kissed Chen Zhi on the lips.

"Is this what you call a marriage?"

Chen Zhi grabbed the back of her head with one hand and leaned down to press his head against hers.

Li Zhiyi groaned, placed her hands on his chest, pushed twice but couldn't budge him, so she simply gave up resisting.

When Chen Zhi released her, Li Zhiyi went limp and leaned against him, panting.

"Six thousand three," Chen Zhi suddenly blurted out.

"what?"

"Jiang Ke just paid the bill at the front desk; it was 6,320 yuan."

Li Zhiyi looked at him blankly.

Chen Zhi pinched her cheek.

"You think I don't know? I had the waitress watching. Her bank card didn't go through the first time, so she made a phone call, and two minutes later she received a transfer, the amount accurate to the single digit."

Li Zhiyi opened her mouth.

"Don't blame her, she might just be..."

"I don't blame her," Chen Zhi interrupted her. "She's a much more complex person than you think, but complex doesn't mean bad. Some people are just born to live by their brains."

Chen Zhi pulled Li Zhiyi out of the private room.

"Let's go, I'll take you back to school."

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Zhi took out his phone and called a car.

While waiting for the bus, Li Zhiyi stood quietly next to him, and after a while she spoke softly.

"Chen Zhi".

"Um?"

"You did that on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately yelled at her and said those nasty things."

Chen Zhi turned his head to look at her.

"Are you trying to test her reaction?" Li Zhiyi analyzed seriously. "Do you want to see how she will react after being rejected? Will she turn on the spot, or will she silently suffer in silence?"

Chen Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.

This girl usually seems a bit silly, but she's surprisingly clear-headed when it really matters.

"And then?" Chen Zhi neither admitted nor denied it.

"Then she didn't get angry, nor did she beg you; she even paid the bill herself." Li Zhiyi counted on her fingers, "She showed you with her actions that she wasn't there to freeload and take advantage of you; she has her own principles."

Chen Zhi smiled.

"You're quite smart."

Li Zhiyi felt embarrassed by the praise and shrank her neck.

"Then why did you finally agree?"

"Because the 6,300 yuan she paid for wasn't her own money."

Li Zhiyi was stunned.

"She couldn't get the money from her card, so she made a phone call and received the transfer in two minutes." Chen Zhi hailed a taxi. "A freshman girl who claimed her family was exploiting her and that she couldn't even afford to eat could easily borrow more than six thousand yuan in cash in two minutes."

"That means she's not as simple as she seems." Chen Zhi opened the car door and gestured for Li Zhiyi to get in first. "You don't have many friends, but seeing how hard you're trying to help her, you must have a good relationship with her. I want to help you see what kind of person she really is."

Chen Zhi got on the bus and gave the address of the east gate of Renmin University.

Li Zhiyi sat in the back seat, digesting these words for a while, before suddenly turning her head to look at Chen Zhi.

"Aren't you afraid that after she joins the company...she might do something bad?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Chen Zhi leaned back in his seat, his eyes half-closed. "A wolf cub is much safer kept in a cage than allowed to roam freely outside."

The taxi stopped at the east gate of Renmin University.

Chen Zhi saw Li Zhiyi off the bus.

The lights at the school gate were dim, and several students returning late hurried past.

Li Zhiyi stood in front of him, head down, hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?"

"Um..." Li Zhiyi hesitated for a long time, her voice almost inaudible, "Are you going to that hotel again tonight?"

Chen Zhi glanced at her.

"You want to go?"

Li Zhiyi's face flushed red again, and she shook her head frantically.

"No, no! I was just asking! You go about your business, I'm going back to my dorm!"

After saying that, he turned and ran, his schoolbag swaying behind him.

After running a dozen meters, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and waved to Chen Zhi.

"See you tomorrow!"

Then he plunged into the school gate.

Chen Zhi stood there, watching the small figure disappear into the tree-lined path of Renmin University campus.

My phone vibrated.

Pei Ningxue: The meeting is at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late.

It shook again.

Pei Ningxue: Where are you staying tonight?

Chen Zhi typed a reply: School dormitory.

Pei Ningxue: Oh.

Just one word.

Chen Zhi stared at the "oh" for three seconds, and inexplicably, goosebumps rose on his back.

He quickly added: I'll have lunch with you after the meeting tomorrow.

A full minute passed before Pei Ningxue returned.

Pei Ningxue: No need, I'm very busy.

Pei Ningxue: Go keep your school beauties company.

Chen Zhi sighed and made a phone call.

It rang five times before being answered.

There was no response from the other end.

"President Pei," Chen Zhi began.

"explain."

"miss you."

There was a two-second silence on the phone.

"Don't give me that." Pei Ningxue's tone softened slightly. "You think I haven't heard that kind of talk before?"

"How many times have you listened to it?"

You've said it at least twenty times.

That means every time was real.

A very soft hum came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm free in the afternoon after the meeting tomorrow." Pei Ningxue paused, "I want to eat Wagyu beef."

"Received, Mr. Pei."

Not long after I hung up, my phone rang again.

Lin Wanwan: Honey! The demo for the new song is out! It's amazing! I'll let you hear it tomorrow, okay?

Chen Zhi closed his eyes.

He typed a reply to Lin Wanwan.

"Okay, I'll listen tomorrow."

Then I locked the screen and went back to Peking University.

As soon as I stepped into room 404, three pairs of eyes swept over me.

Guo Yang sat on the bed, hugging a pillow, and began by saying:

"The scumbag is back."

"roll."
