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

"Then four years and 11 months."

"Goodness, why didn't you just say four years, 11 months, and 30 days."

"Let's do as you say."

"Rascal..."

Gu Wanzhou found that she really had no way of dealing with Li Zhiyan, this kid had truly become irreplaceable in her life after so much had happened.

She had let him enter her life, and now she could never extricate him from it.

"Then four years..."

"No way..."

Li Zhiyan bargained at Gu Wanzhou's lips, giving her the illusion that he could continue kissing her at any moment.

After some back and forth bargaining between the two, they finally settled on half a year.

"So it's settled then, Aunt Gu, our relationship as a couple will continue for another six months, and you'll be my girlfriend the whole time."

"Um..."

"Aunt Gu, you're an adult, you can't go back on your word. You must keep your promises."

"Goodness, when have I ever not kept my word?"

Gu Wanzhou had always been decisive and naturally wouldn't go back on her word to Li Zhiyan.

"Let's go, Auntie will take you back to school."

After getting into the car, Gu Wanzhou slowly came to her senses, realizing that her emotions had been pulled in too many directions today.

Unconsciously, she had become Li Zhiyan's girlfriend for another half-year.

It was clear she was on board with a tricky plan, and it seemed like the kind that she couldn't get off...

After dropping Li Zhiyan off at the school gate, Gu Wanzhou softly said, "Goodness, make sure to rest well when you get back."

"As a student, you must study hard."

"Aunt Gu, you have to ask me out on dates when you're free."

"I know..."

...

When she got home, Gu Wanzhou bathed as usual before returning to her bedroom.

The events that took place on the small road outside the zoo kept echoing in her mind; she and Li Zhiyan had kissed for such a long time.

And, she had agreed to be his girlfriend for half a year more.

Six months, what exactly could happen? However, thinking about how outstanding Li Zhiyan already was, she looked at her own smooth and fair middle finger.

...

Back in the dormitory, Li Zhiyan was also reminiscing about today's events. Although persuading Aunt Gu to continue being his girlfriend was a risky affair, he finally got his wish.

If he wanted to continue developing a relationship with Aunt Gu, the status of a temporary girlfriend was essential; otherwise, she would always see him as a younger relative.

Ziang Zexi and his friends kept making cheeky comments.

"It's certainly not easy for Brother Yan to make a trip back to school."

"Right, Brother Yan is usually out creating legends of dragons, and today he actually came back, which is indeed quite a feat!"

Li Zhiyan chatted with Su Mengchen while making saucy remarks with a few others.

Latterly, he glanced at his bank card with 1.2 million, already planning the tasks for Auntie Jiang.

To quickly break through to three million in savings and reach an annual income of ten million, he couldn't afford to miss out on any task.

Moreover, since Auntie Jiang was so kind to him, he was definitely going to give his all for her matters.

Chatting with the others, Li Zhiyan said, "Actually, I think the most flavorful line of poetry is from Du Mu, 'Shapes of mountains, frost leaves are redder than February blossoms,' the first line is quite interesting."

Ziang Zexi and his friends were taken aback at first, before expressing admiration.

"Brother Yan is awesome, how have I never realized before that this line of poetry has such depth!"

...

In the girls' dormitory, Su Mengchen was chatting with Li Zhiyan.

The memories of the events in Sucity with Li Zhiyan continuously reverberated in her mind, that time Li Zhiyan helped her massage her feet and legs.

And he was so kind to her mother, treating both her and her mother as if they were his own family.

Every time she thought about it, Su Mengchen would feel her face warm slightly.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Though they hadn't met during this period, the two had been chatting online all the time, and Li Zhiyan reached out to her every day.

This made Su Mengchen more determined to be with Li Zhiyan, though she acknowledged that overcoming the psychological barrier inside would take some time.

"Chenchen, you're smiling so sweetly. You couldn't have made progress with Li Zhiyan, could you?"

Although the dorm had turned off the lights, the roommate in the opposite bed still saw Su Mengchen's sweet smile and felt that there must be quite some progress between Su Mengchen and Li Zhiyan.

"There... there's been some."

The several girls in the dorm didn't expect Su Mengchen to actually give an answer.

They could clearly sense the change in Su Mengchen; compared to the beginning of the school term, she had made enormous progress.

The girls crowded around to gossip, and Su Mengchen, too, kept overcoming her internal barriers, sharing about Li Zhiyan with them.

...

Another person who was not at peace at this time was Wu Qingxian, Li Zhiyan's mom's best friend.

She was very restless inside because after Bao Xunwen got drunk that time, he had kept shouting her name at home, causing his wife, Liu Meizhen, to make a scene at the company.

Her situation at work had become somewhat awkward.

Everywhere she went, she could hear whispers and rumors.

But what she truly couldn't forget was Li Zhiyan kissing her while she was drunk; even though it lasted a short time, it was certainly crossing the line.

She had always thought of him as a child, having watched over Li Zhiyan as he slowly grew up to his current stature.
