Reborn: Instead of Chasing the School Beauty, I Chased Her Mother - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: 036 This child really doesn’t allow one to worry less!

With a sense of panic, she pushed Li Zhiyan away and turned her back to him, unable to open her eyes because her face was burning hot.

How was she supposed to face this kid in the future?

She was already 42 years old and had even calmly discussed the possibility of reconciling with her husband on the phone.

But tonight, she had kissed an 18-year-old kid.

It was mortifying. If her husband had seen this scene, there would definitely be no hope for their reconciliation.

I’m sorry, husband…

Li Zhiyan stood there without speaking to Rao Shiyun.

He had actually wanted to resist a moment ago, but Auntie Rao was just too beautiful.

And the moment she kissed him, he couldn’t resist any longer.

Now that she was sober, he thought it best to give her the cold treatment.

She was his elder, so it was better to wait for her to speak first.

…

After a long while, Rao Shiyun slowly turned her head back.

By this time, she had completely sobered up and was extremely regretful about her impulsive actions.

Li Zhiyan was just a kid who had kissed her, but she had seriously taught him how to kiss.

She had even demonstrated it herself. How was she going to face the boy now?

“Xiao Yan, let me take you home. It’s not too far from your place.”

She decided to act as if nothing had happened.

She would contact Li Zhiyan after some time had passed!

That way, he would still be the innocent kid, and she would just be a regular aunt to him.

That was for the best!

Rao Shiyun’s face had gradually cooled down by now, but the alcohol still made her walk unsteady.

“No, Auntie Rao, I’d rather take you home first; otherwise, I wouldn’t be at ease.”

“Let’s call a designated driver to take you home, and I can go back on my own.”

Li Zhiyan was very attentive, so he thoughtfully considered all aspects of Rao Shiyun’s safety.

“Okay.”

After the two started talking about other things, the awkward atmosphere dissipated.

It was as if the kiss had never happened.

…

He took Rao Shiyun home.

On his way back to his own house,

the smell of alcohol on him had completely vanished.

“The ‘Wine God’ skill really is quite amazing. Let’s check if the system’s reward of seventy thousand yuan has been credited.”

He took out his VIVO flip phone.

Sure enough, the seventy thousand yuan had been credited, and Li Zhiyan now had a total savings of two hundred thousand yuan.

“I’m still eight hundred thousand yuan away from my goal of becoming a millionaire.”

“The money is coming in so fast…” Li Zhiyan thought to himself.

At the moment, the system tasks hadn’t refreshed, but Li Zhiyan was not in a hurry.

He recalled the moments when Auntie Rao was teaching him about physiology.

Mature women really knew their stuff; all the knowledge they had was so precise.

Li Zhiyan couldn’t help fantasizing about the scene of Rao Shiyun instructing him, feeding him.

And even the carriage scenario.

As long as he obediently listened, he could have the most perfect experience.

Thinking about it made Li Zhiyan’s heart itch a little.

It wasn’t until he got home and saw the lights still on

that Li Zhiyan let go of the weird thoughts in his mind.

After opening the door, his mother was sitting at the dining table waiting for him as she used to.

“Xiao Yan, are you hungry? Mom made dumplings for you today.”

“Mom, I’m hungry!” Li Zhiyan happily exclaimed.

Since he had mostly been drinking at the dinner, he hadn’t eaten much, so Li Zhiyan was genuinely hungry.

He went to the kitchen and brought over the dumplings, watching his son wolf down the food.

Zhou Rongrong sniffed the scent on Li Zhiyan.

“Son, did you drink alcohol?”

Li Zhiyan of course didn’t dare to admit it; his mother was a traditional person and very averse to smoking and drinking.

“No, do I look like I have drunk? It’s just that someone next to me was drinking.”

Zhou Rongrong leaned in and sniffed again, and then she let it go.

But she soon noticed something different. There seemed to be some lipstick on Li Zhiyan’s mouth?

It seemed her son had really grown up.

The only headache was that this lad might actually bring home a 40-year-old girlfriend to show her.

For her son’s happiness, it seemed she needed to strengthen her mental preparedness.

Lest he really bring home such an older girlfriend and she couldn’t handle it.

…

In the middle of the night, Rao Shiyun tossed and turned, constantly thinking about what had happened under the willow tree earlier.

Had she really done that?

Taken the initiative to kiss Li Zhiyan, to kiss a kid who had just come of age.

And taught him so earnestly how he should proceed.

Only a shameless woman could do such a thing, and yet she had done it.

“I better not contact the kid these next few days.”

“If my husband finds out, there will definitely be no chance of reconciling.”

Although Rao Shiyun had deep conflicts with her husband, they had been married for over twenty years after all.

The bond was still strong; she was thinking of reconciling with her husband after the New Year.

Now Li Zhiyan’s sudden appearance

had completely disrupted her inner peace.

“Or maybe I should just delete Li Zhiyan and pretend he has never been part of my life.”

Opening WhatsApp, Rao Shiyun considered deleting Li Zhiyan’s contact.

But no matter what, she couldn’t bring herself to press the delete button.

What did he do wrong?

Li Zhiyan was just too drunk, not knowing where he should kiss and being a normal man, so he ended up kissing her own lips a few times.

And everything that followed was initiated by herself.

Including the instruction to him, which he gave through personal demonstration.

How could he have the heart to delete such a good kid?

Born in a single-parent family, yet he managed to teach himself and become successful.

Moreover, tonight he helped block so much alcohol for her.

The memory of Li Zhiyan standing by her side, drinking, resurfaced in her mind, and Rao Shi Yun suddenly felt she deserved to die.

How could she think of deleting him, even though Li Zhiyan said it was fine.

But after drinking so much, how could it possibly be fine?

If it wasn’t for the alcohol messing with his head, how could he have dared to touch her leg under the table?

Li Zhiyan was a very simple kid; if he hadn’t been drunk, he would never have done such a thing.

“Xiao Yan, are you okay?”

“Do you still feel sick?”

Even though she thought of letting it go slowly, Rao Shi Yun still couldn’t help sending Li Zhiyan a message, asking if he still felt unwell.

A few seconds later, Li Zhiyan’s reply came.

“I’m fine now, Auntie Rao. I can hold my liquor.”

Reading his reply, Rao Shi Yun felt even worse.

The kid was still comforting her at this time, and she was thinking of deleting him.

No, in the future she must treat him well, cherish him as if he were her own son.

“Okay.”

“Get some sleep early, Xiao Yan.”

Li Zhiyan: “Auntie Rao, you should also sleep early. It’s late now, and after drinking so much tonight, you should rest well.”

After chatting for a bit, Rao Shi Yun looked at her long middle finger.

Everything that happened under the willow tree echoed endlessly in her heart.

Even though it all felt so real and she felt so guilty, so sorry for Liu Zifeng’s father.

But Rao Shi Yun still couldn’t help thinking about it.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes.

…

In the following days, Rao Shi Yun chatted with Li Zhiyan as usual.

It seemed they both had completely forgotten about what happened last night.

Understanding the situation, Li Zhiyan did not mention what happened under the willow tree. At the same time, his relationship with Gu Wanzhou also grew much closer.

During those days, Li Zhiyan spent most of his time at the internet cafe playing games with Li Shiyu.

Waiting for the new system task to be released.

On the fourth day, while Li Zhiyan was chatting with Gu Wanzhou at the internet cafe.

The new system task finally refreshed.

“Gu Wanzhou’s distant cousin is trying to sell his Brotherhood Internet Cafe at the price of two hundred thousand.”

“And he is asking Gu Wanzhou to help find someone capable of taking over the Brotherhood Internet Cafe.”

“Please buy the Brotherhood Internet Cafe.”

Seeing this task, Li Zhiyan was a bit stunned.

He had finally saved up two hundred thousand, and now he would be broke again?

But the next prompt left him even more stunned.

“Note: After purchasing the Brotherhood Internet Cafe, the system will automatically upgrade the cafe’s equipment and initiate marketing management, securing a stable profit of thirty thousand a month.”

“Complete the task, and you will receive a skill reward, 20CM.”

“20CM will allow any part of your body to grow up to 20CM.”

“And the width will change accordingly with the length.”

“2…20?”

At this moment, Li Zhiyan kept rechecking the system panel several times.

He finally confirmed it was indeed 20!

Previously, the system would directly assign him tasks to study.

But this time, he had to buy the internet cafe before he could receive the reward.

And the value of this reward goes without saying: it’s incomparable even to a hundred billion in cash!

“Do it, I must do this task!”

Never before had Li Zhiyan been so resolute!

Moreover, with the system handling the marketing, he would only need to hire a couple of internet cafe managers and he could be a hands-off owner!

Thirty thousand a month, a net profit of one hundred and sixty thousand after a year, the rate of return was astonishing.

“Stop browsing, let’s go to the Brotherhood Internet Cafe.”

Upon hearing “Brotherhood Internet Cafe”, Li Shiyu frowned. The computers there were quite old, even playing Dungeon Fighter or CrossFire required a long loading time, and it had been deserted for a while.

But he didn’t make any remarks, and he simply stood up and went to the counter to log off, trusting that Brother Yan had his reasons!

…

Brotherhood Internet Cafe.

Sun Ziyi was pouring out his struggles to Gu Wanzhou.

“Cousin, running an internet cafe is really hard these days.”

“I have over a hundred computers, and.”

“On a good day, only about thirty people come, barely covering the monthly utility and internet bills.”

Gu Wanzhou was somewhat helpless. If it wasn’t for her parents asking her to look after this distant cousin, she really wouldn’t care about this cousin she barely felt any kinship with.

“I’ll make another call and ask around to see if someone is willing to take over this cafe.”

In those years, two hundred thousand was quite a sum of money. Although many could afford it, buying such an internet cafe was obviously not cost-effective.

Just then, a strange call came in.

On the other end of the phone was a young man’s voice.

“Boss Sun, I heard you want to sell your internet cafe?”

At this moment, Gu Wanzhou was slightly bewildered. The voice on the phone seemed to be Li Zhiyan, that kid!

He couldn’t be thinking of buying this internet cafe, could he?

Two hundred thousand, where would he get so much money?

Moreover, taking over this internet cafe for two hundred thousand was bound to be a losing deal.

She’d have to find a chance to dissuade him later.

This kid, really isn’t easy to deal with!
