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

"By the way, I've had someone keeping an eye on the office, but no one has come back to retrieve the camera."

Li Zhiyan glanced around.

"The people across from us aren't ordinary either. They've likely noticed something by now. This is a sensitive time; just be extra cautious with everything."

"Got it."

Gazing at Yin Xueyang's stunning, radiant face.

Li Zhiyan couldn't resist leaning in for a kiss.

This earned a playful scolding from Yin Xueyang.

"You little rascal, can't you see it's not convenient for Auntie right now? What are you doing?"

"I just wanted to kiss you, nothing else."

"As if I'd believe that..."

Yin Xueyang said softly.

And then, she leaned in and kissed Li Zhiyan as well.

Day by day, their feelings for each other continued to deepen.

Entangled in each other's lives, inseparable.

...

After leaving Yin Xueyang's office,

Li Zhiyan couldn't bring himself to attend the remaining two classes.

"This afternoon, I'll focus on the mission."

"Let's go check in with Ding Baijie."

Walking past the university gates, Li Zhiyan's thoughts drifted to Yin Qiang.

It seemed like the earliest person he'd known that was still "online" was Yin Qiang.

If the opportunity arose, perhaps he could send him to Li Meifeng for military training.

Although there were four academies running training programs now,

Li Zhiyan figured Li Meifeng was probably still not satisfied.

Li Meifeng had helped him many times before in situations involving Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun.

So, Li Zhiyan thought it was about time he returned the favor to her.

With this in mind, his resolve grew even stronger.

Arriving at Zhichen Milk Tea Shop, the atmosphere there seemed particularly serene and harmonious.

Li Zhiyan knew that, ever since Guo Wu's family went offline,

no one came here to trouble Ding Baijie anymore.

Her life had finally achieved a semblance of peace.

"Sis."

Standing at the entrance of the milk tea shop, Li Zhiyan called out.

Ding Baijie turned around and, upon seeing him,

responded with a warm smile.

"Xiao Yan, you're here."

"Sis, come over here; I need to talk to you about something."

He grabbed Ding Baijie's hand and led her into a small private room.

The shop assistants viewed this as perfectly normal.

In their understanding, Li Zhiyan and Ding Baijie had a very close relationship.

Given their significant age gap,

no one suspected anything untoward.

Plus, having private conversations like this was indeed nothing unusual.

After all, as shop manager and shop owner, there were bound to be confidential matters to discuss.

Looking at the two young men in front of her,

Li Meifeng couldn't wait to start their training.

"Auntie, is the 8,000 yuan per month you mentioned really true?"

Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxuan's eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

8,000 yuan a month—this was a figure they wouldn't have even dared to dream of.

Could they really start earning this amount right away?

And, on top of that, with a young and charming Auntie Li as their trainer?

"Of course it's true, but you'll have to pay a certain price."

"If you've made up your mind, then just sign the contract."

The brothers glanced over the contract.

They saw that the job guaranteed daily happiness, which excited them even more. To earn 8,000 yuan a month while enjoying life—it sounded like paradise.

With that thought in mind, the brothers immediately decided to sign.

"We're in!"

"But Auntie must remind you, if there's a breach of contract, the penalty is 5 million yuan."

The two didn't think much of it.

Who would want to leave such a good opportunity?

Before long, the contracts were signed on the spot.

Li Meifeng felt a surge of excitement.

She had been feeling like her training sessions had been lacking intensity lately,

and now Li Zhiyan had just delivered her new recruits.

"By the way, Aunt Li, could we have some time to visit our grandmother on Sunday? We need to show her some filial piety."

"Still such dutiful kids, huh? Fine, two days a month to visit her."

Liu Zifeng and Liu Zijian, seeing new recruits arrive for training,

felt a sense of relief as well.

Finally, things wouldn't be as grueling as before.

...

After leaving the villa,

Li Zhiyan felt a sense of ease. With Guo Wu's family fully offline,

the two brothers could now live happily for a while.

Of course, whether they'd still be as happy in a few months—that, Li Zhiyan couldn't say.

After all, men's "blooming season" was short-lived.

Except for himself, naturally...

"Next up is completing Aunt Gu's task."

There weren't any new tasks in the system for now,

but Li Zhiyan wasn't worried.

For now, Aunt Gu's task was the top priority.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was Friday.

Waking up in the store manager's lounge at Yiyan Internet Cafe,

Wu Qingxian brought over a delicious breakfast.

"Xiao Yan."

"Go brush your teeth. You've got class soon."

Li Zhiyan nodded, freshened up, and sat down to eat.

After sharing a simple breakfast with Wu Qingxian,

he set off for school as usual.

Along the way, his ears filled with his roommates' incessant banter.

But what occupied his thoughts was the mission he had to complete in the afternoon.

During a break between classes,

Li Zhiyan stopped by Yin Xueyang's office. She was still there today.

Upon entering, he locked the door and pulled the curtains shut.

Yin Xueyang covered her mouth and laughed.

"You little devil, don't lock the door—it's inconvenient."

Li Zhiyan: "..."

These cursed seven days—what a hassle.

"Aunt Yin, seven days! It's driving me mad."
