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

Li Zhiyan began to eat the dinner Auntie Jiang had prepared for him.

He closed his eyes...

and felt extremely happy in his heart.

The taste of Auntie Jiang\'s cooking really was exceptionally good.

After a long while, Li Zhiyan hugged Jiang Xian\'s neck.

He made her bend down and then kissed her.

He didn\'t know how much time had passed.

The two finally parted.

After tidying up the dinnerware,

Jiang Xian asked, "Xiao Yan, are you still hungry?"

"No, not anymore..."

"Auntie Jiang, I want to sleep holding you tonight,

Do you think that\'s okay..."

"I still feel like having a midnight snack later tonight."

Jiang Xian said somewhat shyly, "You\'re already a grown man but still want to sleep with Auntie; aren\'t you going back to the dorm to sleep?"

Li Zhiyan\'s desire to sleep with Auntie Jiang was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

"Auntie Jiang, it\'s already too late to go back to the dorm now.

"The dorm has a curfew.

"And with such heavy rain, would you feel at ease letting me go back alone?"

Listening to the rain outside, Jiang Xian\'s heart ached for Li Zhiyan; she really couldn\'t bring herself to let him go back alone.

After all, this young man was the only person who was genuinely kind to her.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, then you can stay and sleep with Auntie," she agreed.

Jiang Xian was very accepting of such a thing.

Although she temporarily couldn\'t accept anything too excessive, she and Li Zhiyan had kissed for so long already.

And she had even fed him, so sleeping together really wasn\'t a big deal.

"Okay."

Li Zhiyan took off his shirt and lay down happily...

Then he snuggled up against Jiang Xian\'s chest.

"You, at 18 years old, still act like a little kid," Jiang Xian thought to herself with a bit of helplessness.

Many times, Li Zhiyan really was no different from a child, but it was precisely such a child who appeared repeatedly at the most desperate moments of her life.

He had rescued her from the depths of despair. Her life really couldn\'t be without Li Zhiyan...

"In front of you, am I not just a child?"

After Jiang Xian lay down hugging Li Zhiyan, she gently covered both of them with a blanket.

"It\'s still a bit chilly tonight."

"Make sure to keep covered, don\'t catch a cold, okay?"

Women of a certain age always care for others, and a 41-year-old woman like Jiang Xian was naturally the same.

In her heart, she was very concerned about Li Zhiyan\'s health.

"No worries, Auntie Jiang, you\'re warm, I won\'t catch a cold."

Holding Jiang Xian, Li Zhiyan truly felt the warmth akin to a mother\'s; Auntie Jiang\'s body was so warm.

"You child, do you really want to hold Auntie all night long?"

"Of course..."

Li Zhiyan lay next to Jiang Xian, resting on her hair.

Gently inhaling the fragrance from her body, he was utterly intoxicated by the atmosphere.

With the torrential rain outside, yet he slept beside Jiang Xian.

Holding her, smelling the fragrance of her hair.

"Alright, Xiao Yan, time to sleep," she said.

As they held each other, Jiang Xian gently kissed Li Zhiyan\'s forehead...

Although she had encountered despairing events in her life,

It was a relief to have Li Zhiyan. Meeting him was truly the highlight of her life.

...

The next day, Li Zhiyan woke up to the fragrant smell of cooking from the kitchen.

"Auntie Jiang."

"Your cooking smells so delicious, I\'m hungry already."

Jiang Xian blushed a little; after eating a few rounds of late-night snacks last night, her stomach should be bursting, and yet she felt hungry again.

"Go and wash up, Xiao Yan, It\'s a sunny day outside."

"After eating, you can go to school."

Li Zhiyan obediently washed up, ate, and although he tried the breakfast Auntie Jiang made, he felt that her midnight snacks were tastier.

"Auntie Jiang, you\'re feeling much better now, aren\'t you?"

"Mmm..."

Last night, sleeping while hugging her, she had felt an unusual sense of security.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xian felt the urge to keep hugging Li Zhiyan to sleep, but then she realized such thoughts were shameless.

After all, she was 41 and Li Zhiyan was just an 18-year-old kid.

"With you by my side, Auntie really does feel a lot better."

"I\'ve come to terms with it."

"From now on, I\'ll pretend I don\'t have this son, I\'ll just focus on running my store well."

Seeing that hint of disappointment in Jiang Xian\'s eyes, Li Zhiyan knew that for Yen Lei to mend this mother-son relationship was as difficult as ascending to the heavens; once a person\'s heart is broken, many things can\'t be turned back.

But considering what a beast Yen Lei was, he clearly didn\'t care about Auntie Jiang at all.

He never cared about how his mom was doing, just like Liu Yaolong refused to live in a rental house with his mother, despising her house for being too run-down. These people only had eyes for benefits; for profit, they could even betray their own mothers—a perverted product of a money-driven society, truly disgusting.

"Auntie Jiang, it\'s good that you can think this way.

"I\'ll chat with you often on QQ."

Li Zhiyan was quick with his fingers, so having an extra chat was absolutely no problem at all; it was easy for him.

"Mmm..."

Jiang Xian could clearly feel how much Li Zhiyan cared for her.

Indeed, he was the only one in this world who could treat her like this.

After breakfast, Li Zhiyan kissed Jiang Xian\'s cheek before he finally left the clothing store.
