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

Perhaps...

Li Zhiyan thought to himself, though he wasn't sure about some things.

After all, she's his mom's best friend, he should definitely respect her.

"Yes, Aunt Zhou."

"Your school uniform looks so nice, it's been years, hasn't it?"

"It's from when I was in school, over twenty years now."

"Back then, Aunt paid quite a lot for the uniforms."

Thinking about the expensive school uniform fees from the past, Zhou Feifei still remembers the heartache.

The two continued to walk forward.

Zhou Feifei whispered, "Xiao Yan."

"Do you think Aunt is beautiful?"

"Of course!"

Li Zhiyan praised genuinely, for his elder, his admiration was sincere.

"Aunt Zhou, you are absolutely the most beautiful woman in the world."

"I've never seen anyone as beautiful as you."

"Such a sweet talker."

Happiness was hard to hide on Zhou Feifei's face, as women love being complimented on their beauty.

But, in Xiao Yan's heart, does he see me as a woman?

At this moment, Zhou Feifei wanted to know the answer.

"Xiao Yan."

"Aunt Zhou, yes?"

"Zip up your jacket quickly, we're near the water, don't catch a chill."

Zhou Feifei advised, as she helped Li Zhiyan zip up his jacket.

Li Zhiyan's jacket was thin; otherwise, he'd be quite warm.

He was never one to feel cold.

After all, his health was exceptionally good.

"Mm, thank you, Aunt Zhou."

"Aunt Zhou, can I hold your hand?"

Gazing at Zhou Feifei's fair and slightly flushed hand, Li Zhiyan swallowed lightly.

He truly liked Zhou Feifei.

Yet he didn't know what Zhou Feifei thought.

So he needed to test it out little by little.

"Um..."

"Alright, Aunt is your elder, you're Aunt's younger, so if you want to hold hands, just hold hands."

Zhou Feifei said gently, although her face turned very red.

"Aunt Zhou..."

Li Zhiyan gently took Zhou Feifei's soft hand, feeling its tender softness, and sensed her fragrance.

Li Zhiyan also breathed in Zhou Feifei's scent.

It made him feel very secure.

"Your hand is really soft."

"Um... Xiao Yan, let's keep walking."

Seeing Li Zhiyan, Zhou Feifei's heart also fluttered, though she didn't know how to take the first step.

"Aunt Zhou."

After a while, Li Zhiyan spoke up.

"You're truly beautiful, if I could marry you, it would be a true lifelong blessing."

"The greatest blessing,"

Li Zhiyan said sincerely.

These words made Zhou Feifei a little uneasy...

"What are you saying..."

Zhou Feifei lowered her head, she only felt a continuous surge of shyness in her heart clad in her school uniform.

"I'm serious, if I could marry you, it would be wonderful."

"How can you marry Aunt?"

After the topic opened up, conversing became evidently easier.

"Why can't I? Aunt Zhou, I'm a man, you're a woman."

"Surely I can marry you."

Zhou Feifei couldn't help but gently tweak Li Zhiyan's ear.

This kid had forgotten she was his elder?

"Aunt is your elder, how can you say such things."

Of course, being his mother's best friend, Zhou Feifei didn't use force.

Love your friend's son as your own is the way, the friend's son still needs tender care.

"I'm speaking from my heart."

"Aunt Zhou, you are an exceptionally beautiful woman."

"I like you, I want to be with you."

"That's getting more out of line..."

Zhou Feifei's voice was evasive.

"But you really are quite the sweet-talker."

"Are those women around you all coaxed like this?"

Li Zhiyan explained: "Aunt Zhou, I don't think it's coaxing…"

"It's called exchanging true feelings."

"I know I can be a bit of a flirt, but my feelings for you are genuinely the truest in the world."

Regarding this, Zhou Feifei didn't doubt.

But thinking about it made Zhou Feifei feel a bit shy.

This friend's son—this brat—really sees me as a woman, but I'm his elder.

"Anyway, Aunt only sees you as a child."

"As a little rascal."

At this moment, Zhou Feifei became much more clear-headed.

I'm his elder, so I should always remain his elder.

As for the rest of the things, it's better not to think about them.

Because if you do, it would be very unethical.

Zhou Feifei doesn't want to face such matters.

"Alright."

Looking at Zhou Feifei, Li Zhiyan couldn't tell her thoughts, but he could sense them.

This beautiful woman in front of him seemed a little hesitant.

After all, a cross-generational love isn't something easy to face.

"Aunt Zhou, don't you think that if the two of us were together, it would be quite nice?"

Li Zhiyan held her hand, reluctant to let go.

Zhou Feifei felt her hand getting warmer, with that fiery sensation.

Not just from physical warmth.

But also from a deep internal burning.

Just holding hands made Zhou Feifei feel a flutter in her chest.

"Auntie is your elder."

"We don't have any blood relation, just elders, Aunt Zhou."

Li Zhiyan stressed.

"What's wrong with being elders, speaking plainly, it's just our age gap is quite large, but society now is so accommodating."

"No matter how big the age gap is, dating and being together is very normal."

"If we were together, it would also be normal."

Zhou Feifei realized, today she met this kid.

He really stirred up his desire to be with her completely.

Zhou Feifei regretted coming to see Li Zhiyan a bit.

She now has to think about how to dispel Li Zhiyan's thoughts.

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Yan, Auntie will get angry."

Only then did Li Zhiyan stop talking.

He didn't want to upset Zhou Feifei over this matter; after all, she's his mom's good friend.

"Aunt Zhou, let's add each other on WeChat first."

"Well, let's not..."

Zhou Feifei sensed that Li Zhiyan had those kinds of thoughts about her.

He's young and impulsive, she was impulsive for a moment too, but after all, she's his elder, she has to stay clear-headed and rational.

Such matters can't continue.

"Aunt doesn't play much on WeChat, just registered recently, on WeChat."

"And only has your mom as a friend."

"Besides, Aunt and you have a generation gap, nothing much to chat about."

Being rejected by Zhou Feifei, Li Zhiyan didn't feel a shred of disappointment.

He knows Zhou Feifei is now avoiding developing a romantic relationship with him.

However, he must work hard for a chance.

"Aunt Zhou, let's add each other on WeChat."

"I'll learn about whatever topics you like, is that okay?"

"Aunt Zhou, I'm pleading with you."

Saying that, Li Zhiyan hugged Zhou Feifei's arm and began to plead.

That look appeared as if he wouldn't give up until he had Zhou Feifei's WeChat.

This made Zhou Feifei feel amused and helpless.

A child is indeed a child...

Doing things just like a child's manner.

"You insist on adding Auntie's WeChat?"

"Yes, if you don't add my WeChat."

"I'll let you go."

Seeing Li Zhiyan's shameless look, Zhou Feifei also knew if she didn't add his WeChat, it wouldn't truly pass.

Took out a phone, Zhou Feifei opened WeChat.

Just like she said, only Li Zhiyan's mom was a friend on WeChat.

Li Zhiyan knows Zhou Feifei truly doesn't chat much on WeChat.

After the two added each other as friends.

Li Zhiyan added a note for Zhou Feifei.

"Aunt Zhou, the woman I most want to win."

That note made Zhou Feifei's face flush, this cheeky kid.

"Aunt Zhou, it's nice having your WeChat, I'll often find you to chat in the future."

Zhou Feifei felt quite helpless inside, continued holding Li Zhiyan's hand walking forward.

When they arrived at a secluded place.

Li Zhiyan continued speaking, "Aunt Zhou, why can't you be with me?"

"I'm a man."

"Just a little brat, Aunt sees you without a hint of feeling."

Looking at Zhou Feifei's shy demeanor.

Li Zhiyan continued saying, "To know if there's a feeling, a hug is necessary."

"Who wants to hug you."

"Aunt Zhou, if you don't embrace me."

"Then you're avoiding feeling anything for me. Just hug, if you truly don't have feelings, then let's drop it."

Zhou Feifei pinched Li Zhiyan's ear.

"Keep your word."

"Of course!"

Looking at Zhou Feifei in front.

Li Zhiyan immediately pulled her into his arms.

With the embrace, Li Zhiyan's reaction was astonishing.

He hugged Zhou Feifei tightly, Zhou Feifei could even hear Li Zhiyan's heartbeat.

So...

So terrifying...

Zhou Feifei's pretty face completely flushed hot.
