Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother

However, this time Han Xueying did not pull away when Li Zhiyan grasped her hand.

To his surprise, he felt genuinely delighted, taking a moment to earnestly appreciate the warmth, softness, and delicateness of Aunt Han's hand.

They remained that way for a while, and indeed, after his experience with touching legs, touching Aunt Han's hand

wasn't something she found unacceptable anymore. It must be like proposing to open the roof when you want to open the window.

"Aunt Han, you have to keep this a secret for me."

Looking at Li Zhiyan's sincere gaze, Han Xueying couldn't help but think back to how he appeared when she was most desperate, even helping her treat her injuries.

"Okay..."

"However, Xiao Yan, you are still a student, so you must prioritize your studies."

"By the way, do you have some issues with Yin Qiang from the student council?"

"Auntie heard some things."

As a mentor, Han Xueying was well-informed.

"Yes, I've had some conflicts with him."

Han Xueying felt a bit of a headache.

"It looks like you can't avoid trouble in the future, that Yin Xueyang is extremely protective of her son."

"Tomorrow, I'll try to communicate with her."

Li Zhiyan felt a warm feeling in his heart, in this life and the last, Aunt Han always took such good care of him.

Before long, the corn was ready, and Han Xueying went over to scoop the corn out of the pot and let it cool down with tap water.

She then served it on a plate and brought it over. Li Zhiyan ate an ear of corn, dining with Aunt Han for dinner.

When he saw that it was almost time, Li Zhiyan stood up, but his gaze lingered on Aunt Han's cleavage and beautiful legs.

Aunt Han's legs looked striking in contrast—one with pantyhose and the other bare—creating a conflict of beauty.

"Aunt Han, I should head home now, my mom is off work."

"Alright, Xiao Yan, feel free to come over to Auntie's place anytime when you're free."

Han Xueying spoke with enthusiasm, the house felt especially empty with just her.

Feeling a poignant sense of loneliness, the thought that having a favored younger person like him around would make her feel less alone.

"I understand, Aunt Han. I'll come to see you when I'm free, and I can visit your office to chat when I'm at school too."

Relieved, Li Zhiyan felt that he and Aunt Han had finally made a breakthrough in their friendship.

Sometimes, it's the first step that is the most daunting… and that could have been really troublesome.

"Mhm."

Watching Li Zhiyan's retreating figure, Han Xueying suddenly remembered that he liked mature women in their forties and that his cousin was in a relationship with his mentor who was planning to get pregnant.

She wondered if he had strange thoughts in his mind.

As she pondered, Han Xueying's cheeks flushed slightly.

...

Walking on the road, Li Zhiyan checked his bank balance which had reached over four hundred thousand.

Once he completed Yen Zhengjin's task, he would reach five hundred thousand, which seemed not too far from his goal of an annual salary of ten million.

The system is so powerful!

"There's just a week's time for the National Day holiday."

"I need to seize the opportunity to do something during this holiday."

Li Zhiyan thought, as in his previous life, he seemed to have played games in an internet cafe for seven days with Li Shiyu?

This time he couldn't afford to be so idle!

Thinking of that, the idea of the Readers' Digest came to mind. He had prepared an issue suitable for both Aunt Fang and Auntie Jiang,

so maybe he could prepare one for Aunt Han too.

With this thought, Li Zhiyan had an idea in mind.

Returning home with plenty of ideas, he noticed his mother's high heels already sitting on the shoe rack by the door, and the sounds of frying in the kitchen, accompanied by the aroma of fried foods, made Li Zhiyan salivate.

Entering the kitchen, he asked, "Mom, what are you frying that smells so delicious?"

Enjoy new adventures at M-V-L

"I am frying some small dried fish and some dough-based snacks."

"Try some of these little fish."

The golden, crispy fried small fish had their bones fried to a crunch. Li Zhiyan took a bite, and the savory taste exploded in his mouth, prompting him to instinctively close his eyes.

The sensation was truly delightful.

After dinner, Li Zhiyan joined Zhou Rongrong on the couch to watch TV, appreciating his mother's beautiful profile, feeling a bit reluctant to go to school the next day.

"Xiao Yan, make sure you study hard at school, okay?"

Zhou Rongrong gave many instructions to Li Zhiyan, and he nodded earnestly to all.

At night, Li Zhiyan lay down in his room feeling very content.

To his surprise, around ten o'clock,

Wu Qingxian called. Although this elder was very fond of him,

she rarely called, usually only chatting with him on QQ.

Li Zhiyan knew Aunt Wu must be facing some issue.

Was it about borrowing money? To lend money to Wu Qingxian, Li Zhiyan wouldn't be stingy at all—Aunt Wu treated him very well and was the kind of person who would rather go without food and drink than owe money.

But thinking it through, Aunt Wu would probably not ask to borrow money from someone younger than herself.

She must be calling because of Zhang Honglei.

With this in mind, Li Zhiyan probably understood what was going on—it must be related to the expensive sneakers he had heard about.

"Aunt Wu."

"Xiao Yan."
