Starting Off By Confessing To My Classmate's Mother

At around eight in the morning, Li Zhiyan finished his breakfast and made his way to Fang Zhiya's house.

The neighbors next door glanced at him with peculiar expressions. He ignored them, as they were the type of couple that could break out into domestic violence at any moment—a bizarre and unpredictable pair.

"I'm here, Aunt Fang."

His call was met with the sound of footsteps approaching, and soon the door opened.

As she welcomed him in, Fang Zhiya's thoughts involuntarily drifted to the events of the previous night. When Li Zhiyan had sat on her legs to massage her back, it had been fine at first, but later... well, certain natural reactions couldn't be helped.

"Xiao Yan, your uncle is still in prison. Wanting a divorce isn't that easy. We'd need him to be physically present at the Civil Affairs Bureau to process it."

Her tone carried a hint of resignation. Divorce seemed like the only way out. If she didn't sever ties, those debt collectors would keep coming, and life would remain unbearable.

Li Zhiyan smiled, his tone calm yet confident. "Don't worry, Aunt Fang. I know someone at the Civil Affairs Bureau. They can arrange for the paperwork to be sent to the prison. Let's head there now."

A flicker of hesitation passed through her eyes, but she nodded. "Alright. Auntie will leave it to you."

At the prison visitation area, they were greeted by staff from the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Mr. Li."

The respectful greetings from the staff left Fang Zhiya surprised. This boy, just eighteen years old, had connections that many adults couldn't dream of. She couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

Within moments, Li Zhiyan came face-to-face with Fang Zhiya's husband, Liu Jiannan.

Liu Jiannan looked disheveled, a far cry from the well-dressed and confident man he used to be.

"Dear, why are you here?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.

"I'm here to finalize our divorce," Fang Zhiya said bluntly.

Her words left Liu Jiannan stunned. Divorce? The notion had never crossed his mind. Even in prison, he had always believed his wife would wait for him.

"Divorce? Why? Who is this kid with you?" His tone grew agitated, his gaze flickering between his wife and the young man beside her.

Sensing his rising anger, Fang Zhiya sighed and began to explain. "The debt collectors came to our house again. The court even sealed our property. I ended up homeless in the park, where Xiao Yan found me and took me in."

Hearing the name "Li Zhiyan," Liu Jiannan froze. It sounded familiar. Then it hit him—this was the boy he had encouraged his son to bully in school, the same one who had clashed with his son multiple times.

And now this boy had saved his wife?

"... So, you should thank Xiao Yan," Fang Zhiya finished.

Liu Jiannan's lips twitched. "Thank you, young man, for helping my wife."

Fang Zhiya continued, "I even tried to set up a noodle stall, but the debt collectors found me again. Xiao Yan knows their boss, Xu Gensheng, and negotiated with him. Xu agreed to call off the collectors—on the condition that we divorce."

Her voice softened. "This is just temporary. Once you're out, we can remarry."

Liu Jiannan lowered his head, his fists clenching tightly. He felt like a failure. If only he hadn't gotten involved in shady dealings, his wife wouldn't have to suffer like this.

After a long silence, he nodded. "Alright, I'll sign the papers."

A glimmer of relief crossed Fang Zhiya's face, but her husband wasn't finished. "I'll hold you to your word. Once I'm out, we'll be together again."

After signing the divorce papers, Liu Jiannan turned to Li Zhiyan with a forced smile. "Young man, thank you. I've wronged you in the past, but you've shown great character by helping my family."

Li Zhiyan returned a polite nod, but his thoughts were far from kind. A man imprisoned for corruption wasn't someone worth respecting.

"I trust you'll take good care of Zhiya," Liu Jiannan added, his tone almost pleading.

"Don't worry, Uncle," Li Zhiyan replied with a faint smile. "I'll make sure Aunt Fang is well cared for."

---

Walking out of the prison, Fang Zhiya seemed lost in thought. Years of marriage had come to an abrupt end, and she felt like a chapter of her life had been torn away.

"Xiao Yan..."

Sensing her distress, Li Zhiyan reassured her, "Aunt Fang, this is just a temporary arrangement. Don't overthink it. Life will get better from here."

After a long pause, she nodded lightly.

Meanwhile, Li Zhiyan's system notified him of a new update:

"Mission Completed: Cash reward of 100,000 yuan has been credited."

"New Mission: Liu Yaolong, due to vanity, borrows money to maintain appearances in front of Wang Xinyue. He will visit your internet café later today and call Fang Zhiya for money tonight. Three days later, Fang Zhiya will ask you to lend her 10,000 yuan. Lend it to her and have her willingly show you her legs. Reward: 30,000 yuan."

Li Zhiyan chuckled inwardly. His account now held 290,000 yuan, and it seemed that his class monitor was unknowingly offering him opportunities.

However, convincing Fang Zhiya to voluntarily meet the system's condition might prove a challenge. Her traditional values were always a barrier to his plans.
