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

...

The next day, after Li Zhiyan woke up, Zhou Rongrong had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for him.

Days with mom around meant an endless supply of delicious food!

After washing up, Li Zhiyan sat next to his mom and leaned on her shoulder as he ate.

"You're becoming more and more like a child. It really worries me. How are you going to adapt when you get married and your wife doesn't spoil you like this?"

Zhou Rongrong was somewhat helpless.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Then I'll just stay by mom's side for my whole life as a mama's boy."

"You're talking nonsense again..."

"Alright, eat up."

After breakfast, Li Zhiyan paid a visit to Brotherhood Internet Cafe, which excited his buddy Li Shiyu, who spent all day gaming alone.

Games are fun, but it can get boring alone. It's different when you have a brother to play with.

"Brother Yan, an ice-cold cola!"

Li Shiyu's preferences hadn't changed at all.

Li Zhiyan remembered when he graduated and wanted to play games at the internet cafe, only to leave after sitting for a bit without anyone to play with.

Having someone to game with really wasn't easy.

"Brother Yan, the National Day holiday is already halfway over."

"Once school starts, we won't be able to play games every day."

"Just thinking about it is upsetting."

"It's fine. You can look forward to the winter break. By then,"

"you can enjoy gaming every day for over a month."

As the two played games, Li Zhiyan began their regular chat.

The first chat window he opened was with Su Mengchen.

After that trip to Sucity, Su Mengchen was in a much better state, and chatting with Li Zhiyan had become a lot smoother.

They talked more, too.

While they were chatting, a name that looked like it could be Su Mengchen's younger sister, but was unrelated, Su Mengyue, sent a message.

"Li Zhiyan, when I say I like you, it counts as a confession, right... Haha."

"Can we be together?"

Su Mengyue had thought about this all night without muster up the courage.

It wasn't until now that she had finally made up her mind.

She wanted to clear things up with Li Zhiyan; if she could become his girlfriend, that would be the best.

"Give me some time to think about it."

Li Zhiyan's response was neither acceptance nor rejection...

Afterward, he started chatting with Jiang Xian and Fang Zhiya.

Li Shiyu saw Li Zhiyan's "give me some time to think about it" clearly, and his heart was exploding with envy; they were both losers at the beginning of the summer vacation.

But now, Brother Yan had completely turned the tables and become the Sea King, and he even had the active skill to strike at the enemy's crystal and block the fountain to repeatedly torture it.

Brother Yan was awesome...

While chatting with Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan was reminded of some things, also with a baffled face.

After Jiang Xian invited him to have lunch together, he agreed without thinking.

"Okay, Auntie Jiang, I'll get to enjoy your cooking again at noon."

At the same time, he also comforted Wu Qingxian.

Wu Auntie's mood had been noticeably off lately, so he needed to be more attentive, to get all her attention on him in the future.

Li Shiyu enviously said, "Brother Yan, you're really awesome."

"Auntie Jiang has really become your woman completely."

"Oh, I heard some gossip yesterday."

"Liu Yaolong seemed to have gotten into trouble during the National Day holiday."

"He got beaten up, and his Mercedes S is gone."

Li Zhiyan was also stunned; even if Liu Yaolong had taken out a high-interest loan, it shouldn't have blown up in a month.

But on second thought, a college student like Liu Yaolong who had nothing probably talked big to get the loan, perhaps under some outrageous conditions.

However, Li Zhiyan wasn't concerned about Liu Yaolong's issues; after all, Yaoya's relationship with him had already broken down, and he wasn't really considered his son.

And his mom was now just thinking about how to get pregnant for him.

"Never mind him, let's keep playing games."

...

At this moment, Zhang Honglei's mood wasn't good.

Although he fantasized last night that the girl with the twin ponytails was Su Mengyue, no matter how much he imagined, fake was fake, and he felt listless upon waking today.

Looking at the fuel warning on the dashboard, he touched his pocket, finding only fifty yuan left.

If he didn't go home, he wouldn't even have food to eat.

"If I ask mom for a few hundred yuan, she'd give it to me."

At this moment, Zhang Honglei remembered how he had knocked over the teapot and snatched a thousand yuan.

Having calmed down, he deeply regretted it.

Maybe he should go home, apologize to his mom, beg for her forgiveness, then tighten his belt, be a good kid, and it would all pass.

Leaning on the steering wheel, Zhang Honglei was caught in conflict, realizing he still had a conscience.

But gradually, images of driving his Audi A4 with the windows down, the envious looks from his high school classmates, the scenes of him spending lavishly at the KTV with female classmates,

the rich second-generation classmates who all treated him like a bro,

and the shy, springtime-like demeanor of Su Mengyue echoed in his mind.

Maintaining the status of a rich kid.

There was still hope for him to win back Su Mengyue, but if he returned to an ordinary life, without buying sneakers or designer brands,

what would his friends think of him, his classmates?

Even, without money, he couldn't even fill his Audi with gas.

Would they still lend him their car afterwards?
