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

"Let's... let's go to the snack street by the school."

Su Mengyue lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Zhiyan.

"Okay."

Li Zhiyan drove his Mercedes all the way to the snack street, and after finding a place to park the car,

Li Zhiyan held Su Mengyue's hand as they walked down the street.

"Li Zhiyan, won't we be seen holding hands like this..."

"Don't worry, we won't be."

There was a risk alert system; if there was any risk of failure, it would notify him in advance. This was why Li Zhiyan was fearless.

Without the system, it would only be a matter of time before they were exposed.

"Mm..."

Su Mengyue felt extremely happy, even though she and Li Zhiyan could only be together in secret. At that moment, she felt as though she had him all to herself.

He was wearing the sweater she had knitted by hand, and he was holding her hand, which to her was the happiest thing in the world.

"What shall we eat?"

"Let's have xiaolongbao."

Li Zhiyan knew that this girl was trying to save him money. Coming from a remote mountain area, her life had always been quite difficult, and just surviving in this big city was a struggle.

Frugality had etched itself into her bones.

"Okay."

Their lunch was simple: xiaolongbao for five yuan and two bowls of spicy soup for one yuan each.

A total of seven yuan...

It was past two in the afternoon when the two parted at the school gate, a time when there were hardly any people around.

When parting, Su Mengyue took the initiative to hug Li Zhiyan.

"Brother..."

"Thank you for spending the day with me, I'm very happy."

"In the future, I will definitely be by your side in secret, as long as I can belong to you occasionally, that would be enough."

Saying so, the one-meter-six Su Mengyue stood on her tiptoes and kissed Li Zhiyan's face lightly.

She turned and ran away bashfully.

Li Zhiyan watched Su Mengyue's retreating figure, her hair in two ponytails.

In his heart, he also felt very helpless; he truly wasn't a lecherous person.

It was just...

He couldn't refuse her kindness.

In the afternoon, Li Zhiyan went to Wu Qingxian's place for dinner and brought her milk.

And some crispy snacks...

By evening, Li Zhiyan was looking at the mission execution timeline.

He decided to head out early...

After all, this mission was somewhat dangerous, and starting early could eliminate any unexpected factors that might arise.

One and a half hours before the mission, Li Zhiyan arrived at this secluded lane.

He was in no hurry, wandering around while also chatting online.

But as he passed by the willow trees,

A figure suddenly came to mind for Li Zhiyan.

It was the most profound memory in his life since he had come back to life,

A memory impossible to forget, but when would Auntie Rao have a true friendship with him?

"First, let's wait for Aunt Gu's mission..."

Li Zhiyan looked around, and before long,

He saw Huang Mao pass by without recognizing him due to the sunglasses and the significant changes in Li Zhiyan's appearance.

Huang Mao had a new scar on his face, a clear sign he had been up to no good in the past few months.

In that moment, Qi Lei felt intense anger.

Ever since he was beaten up by that unimpressive-looking guy last time, he had harbored a deep hatred.

During that time, he constantly sought to find that captivatingly beautiful mature woman.

Then he would show her how formidable he was.

Having already committed many crimes, he wasn't afraid of a few more years in prison.

However, what made Qi Lei extremely uncomfortable was that despite circling the park repeatedly in search of the elegant, mature woman,

He could find no trace of her...

But three days ago, Qi Lei had stumbled upon Gu Wanzhou buying things at a convenience store, which excited him instantly.

He wanted to make his move, but there were too many people around, and no opportunity presented itself.

And Gu Wanzhou's apartment complex was a high-end one with tight security, and it seemed impossible for him to sneak in.

Therefore, for the past few days, Qi Lei had been attempting to stalk Gu Wanzhou, hoping to find a secluded place to assault her.

Just thinking about it excited him uncontrollably.

Hopefully, he would have his chance today.

Desire occupied his entire being, blinding him to the fact

that Li Zhiyan had been following him all along.

Li Zhiyan quietly trailed behind Huang Mao,

and after arriving at the convenience store outside Gu Wanzhou's compound, Huang Mao began to stake out, while Li Zhiyan followed him quietly,

ready to take action at any moment.

The time for the mission was drawing closer and closer.

With only ten minutes to go before the mission, Gu Wanzhou walked out of her complex.

The moment he saw Gu Wanzhou, a wave of longing surged through Li Zhiyan's heart.

However, dealing with Huang Mao right in front of him was more pressing.

At that moment, Gu Wanzhou, after buying a bottle of water, decided to take a walk...

These days had been very oppressive for Gu Wanzhou.

In fact, during this time, her heart had been considerably invaded by Li Zhiyan.

She was a woman too, in need of the nourishment of love.

She desperately wanted Li Zhiyan's affection.

All the things Li Zhiyan had done for her before,

and their constant companionship, had touched Gu Wanzhou's heart deeply.

The affection of a young man is always intense, sincere, and heart-stirring.

After Li Zhiyan had invaded Gu Wanzhou's heart, she had more than once considered being with him.

Until one day, when her daughter confessed to Li Zhiyan in public,

Gu Wanzhou realized that a relationship with Li Zhiyan was impossible — she couldn't even get past the issue with her daughter.

As she continued to walk ahead, Gu Wanzhou sensed something wasn't right behind her...
