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

"Yeah..."

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyan's answer left Zhou Rongrong somewhat incredulous.

Her son had a girl he liked.

"Her name is Su Mengchen, she will probably be your daughter-in-law in the future."

"Alright, son, then you go for it, chase after your future daughter-in-law."

Zhou Rongrong felt that her son had truly grown up and reached the age where he wanted a girlfriend.

"Son, you eat first. Mom needs to go to work."

Zhou Rongrong arrived at the doorway, put on her high heels, and left the house.

Listening to the sound of her high heels becoming more distant, Li Zhiyan felt very at peace.

He spent the entire morning at home, reluctant to leave.

During this morning, he had been chatting with Su Mengchen the whole time.

...

In the afternoon, a little past two o'clock, Li Zhiyan returned to school unwillingly, and started playing basketball on the school playground.

The reward for growing taller had been distributed, and he now had the chance to reach a height of 180 centimeters.

So of course, he went at it with gusto.

"I wonder when the system will distribute the reward for becoming handsome."

"Titles like King of the Wheel, as well as attributes like human dragon and growing taller, have all been given."

"So becoming handsome shouldn't be a difficult thing for the system either."

After playing for an hour, the students all came for military training.

Ziang Zexi and several others jogged over.

"Brother Yan is so cool."

"Where did you go last night to have fun again!"

Ever since they took a bath with Li Zhiyan, his dorm mates have all been under the impression that he's out having fun every day.

After all, Brother Yan's capabilities are there for all to see.

"Not at all, I just had some things to do, I'll sleep in the dorm tonight."

Li Zhiyan knew that if he always skipped sleeping in the dorm, the instructor would be worried.

"Brother Yan is too modest. I think you were studying Zhao Zilong of Changshan last night, slaughtering wildly at Changban Slope!"

Though Su Quanyou was a homebody, being with the couple of show-offs in the dormitory every day, he had also become noticeably more flamboyant.

From a distance, Su Mengyue, who had just come over, lowered her head when she saw Li Zhiyan, clearly a bit embarrassed.

The sight of her, a girl in the throes of spring, made the three guys unable to contain their jealousy.

They only ran over to assemble when the instructor's whistle blew.

Li Zhiyan headed straight for the instructor, wanting to ask about the business license.

"Aunt Han."

Seeing Li Zhiyan again stirred an inexplicable blush in Han Xueying's eyes.

Talking to Li Zhiyan always gave her a strange feeling.

"Xiao Yan."

"Aunt Han, any news about the business license?"

At the mention of this matter, a trace of worry crossed Han Xueying's pretty face.

"No, I'm sorry, Xiao Yan..."

"Chief Yin seems to have blocked the process."

"I don't know what's going on."

Li Zhiyan fell silent for a moment, remembering that pretentious department head, Chief Yin's mother, who doted on Yin Qiang.

So it was normal for her to hold up his paperwork.

"I understand, Aunt Han."

"I'll handle it from outside the school."

Though obtaining a business license could be a hassle, it shouldn't take too long.

He had connections at the civil affairs bureau; they definitely knew all the people in those departments, so it shouldn't be too troublesome to get things done.

Han Xueying, watching the unperturbed Li Zhiyan, couldn't help feeling a peculiar sense of admiration.

This kid was really not like the others.

"Xiao Yan, Auntie thinks you've gotten taller. You seem to be at 174 now."

Li Zhiyan's noticeable increase in height had been spotted by Han Xueying.

"Maybe it's because I've been playing basketball lately."

"So I've grown a bit taller."

With genuine concern, Han Xueying advised, "If you can still grow taller, then keep at it and play more basketball."

"Height is so important for boys. I'm also pushing my son to exercise every day, hoping he can grow taller."

Han Xueying knew that a child without a father needed a good image; otherwise, in this world where men outnumber women, he might really end up single in the future.

Afterward, Li Zhiyan and Han Xueying chatted for over an hour.

Only then did he plan to head back to the dorm to rest. On the way, he called Wang Jinsheng at the civil affairs bureau to inquire about the business license.

The person on the other end immediately said it could be done quickly with someone's help.

This made Li Zhiyan appreciate even more the ease of getting things done with the right connections in society.

That evening, Li Zhiyan and his dorm buddies continued to play basketball.

...

The next morning, when Li Zhiyan went to the supermarket to buy water, he happened upon Wang Shangyan.

"Auntie Wang."

"Xiao Yan!"

Seeing Li Zhiyan approaching, Wang Shangyan's eyes were filled with clear joy.

She really liked Li Zhiyan a lot.

Even the kiss from before, every time she thought about it, it still made her somewhat embarrassed.

Even though it was just a moment's time, it was indeed real.

"Auntie Wang, I didn't expect to see you here today."

Li Zhiyan walked up and hugged Wang Shangyan, as it was a time of abundant yang in the morning.

As she hugged Li Zhiyan, Wang Shangyan felt her hormones racing.

"The supermarket's business at school just started, and I have to keep an eye on it to prevent sabotage. This supermarket is very important to Auntie."

"When I took over the agency rights for this supermarket, I made some enemies."
