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

Liu Zifeng still remembered the scene when his mother first met Li Zhiyan.

Back then, his mother was very close to Li Zhiyan, holding his hand and chatting with him for a long time.

At that time, Liu Zifeng's heart was filled with unbearable jealousy.

He had a feeling that his mother's love had been stolen by Li Zhiyan.

Not only did he steal the love of his goddess, Yu Sisi, but he also wanted to take his mother's love.

Yet at that time, his mother and Li Zhiyan weren't that close.

Now...

The embrace between the two was so tight it was obvious that their relationship had reached an extraordinary level.

So, had something happened between his mom and Li Zhiyan?

Liu Zifeng couldn't bear to imagine it at the moment.

...

"Auntie Rao, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"If it weren't for Aunt Li's birthday today, I wouldn't know when I could see you next."

Filled by the feeling of Rao Shi Yun's plump figure and smelling the mature scent on Auntie Rao, Li Zhiyan felt a sense of fulfillment in his heart.

He truly missed Auntie Rao to the tune of twenty percent.

"I missed you so much."

Hearing Li Zhiyan whisper his longing in her ear, Rao Shi Yun's heart felt warm, along with a wave of guilt.

Indeed, she had been too busy lately.

Sometimes she neglected this child, not showing him enough care and love.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Yan, Auntie has indeed been too busy recently."

"From now on, Auntie will invite you out more often."

Rao Shiyun patted Li Zhiyan on the back, and for some reason, memories of the incident under the willow tree flashed through her mind; the fundamental change in her relationship with Li Zhiyan had started from that moment.

If she hadn't drunk too much that time, the shift in Li Zhiyan's attitude towards her wouldn't have happened.

If only he hadn't started seeing her as a woman, how wonderful that would have been.

It was all because she had drunk too much and felt too lonely.

"That's great, Auntie Rao, I've really missed you a lot."

"Okay now, Xiao Yan, stop hugging Auntie like this."

Rao Shiyun could clearly feel Li Zhiyan's longing for her, but hugging like this in such a public setting was clearly inappropriate.

After all, an embrace between an 18-year-old boy and a 42-year-old woman looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Mhm, Auntie Rao."

After ending the embrace with Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan still held onto her hand and wouldn't let go.

"Xiao Yan, how did you become so handsome, and you've grown taller too, a total heartthrob."

Rao Shiyun touched Li Zhiyan's face, feeling a kind of affectionate pride as if watching her own son grow up.

As for the matter of her wanting to take him as her godson, Li Zhiyan was very clear about it.

Such a gaze was not at all surprising to him.

"I don't know, maybe it's just the age."

Rao Shiyun nodded.

"Yes, it's exactly that you've reached the age of transformation."

She recalled the first time she saw Li Zhiyan, thinking he was just a boy with a delicate face, and nothing else really stood out.

But now, all aspects of him really seemed perfect.

"By the way, do you like me, or do you like Aunt Gu or Auntie Wang more?"

Li Zhiyan was taken aback for a moment. Indeed, all women have an innate sense of comparison.

He knew Auntie Rao wanted to avoid romantic involvement with him, considering the 24-year age gap was indeed significant.

Yet today she had taken the initiative to ask who he liked most in his heart.

"My favorite is certainly you, Auntie Rao. You are the most beautiful, have the best figure, and are especially kind to me."

"Compared to them, Auntie Wang and Aunt Gu are far behind in my heart."

Li Zhiyan's words made Rao Shiyun's heart bloom with joy.

Was she the one he liked most in his heart? This feeling was truly enjoyable.

"Xiao Yan, let's go back."

Rao Shiyun also couldn't help but kiss Li Zhiyan on the face.

Feeling the soft and fragrant touch of Auntie Rao's lips, Li Zhiyan felt an urge to revisit the memories under the willow tree.

But in the end, he restrained himself; this truly wasn't the place for it.

And if he really revisited those memories with Auntie Rao, there was no telling whether she would be angry or not.

Love affairs were best left to unfold naturally.

Take Auntie Jiang for instance; their relationship was advancing unstoppably along the thousand-mile journey ahead.

It was only a matter of time before inertia would lead to Auntie Jiang conceiving.

"Alright."

Rao Shiyun kissing Li Zhiyan was thoroughly witnessed by Liu Zifeng. Upon seeing his mother and Li Zhiyan getting ready to return, he immediately turned and walked towards the stairwell corner.

He couldn't stand to stay in this place any longer, knowing Yu Sisi liked Li Zhiyan.

All those aunties treated him like a treasure, even his own mother treated him like one, kissing him. There was really no reason for him to stay here any longer.

Staying here would only upset him.

...

Once he had returned to the dining table and sat down, Gu Wanzhou also saw the two had just let go of each other's hands upon entering the door.

The sourness in her heart intensified; were the relationships between the two of them that close?

There was also the ambiguous relationship between Wang Shangyan and Li Zhiyan. It seemed like she always wanted to be close to him, to hug and cuddle with him.
