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

```

"Xiao Zhou, I really envy you for having such a good son."

"To think he's bought a new house at such a young age."

Having just learned that Zhou Rongrong intended to vacate the property, she wished to stop her; after all, tenants like Xiao Zhou who took such good care of their rented home were indeed rare.

However, upon hearing that Li Zhiyan had purchased a new house, she too was filled with envy.

"Auntie, we're leaving now."

After greeting the landlord, mother and son hailed a taxi to follow the moving company's truck.

The two of them, along with the movers, busied themselves with the move...

It wasn't until 8 o'clock in the evening that they finally finished the hectic job.

After setting up their old computer in his bedroom and connecting it to the internet,

Li Zhiyan returned to the living room.

His mom was already sitting on the couch watching TV. Sitting next to Zhou Rongrong, he rested his head on his mother's shoulder.

"Mom, from now on we're going to live here."

"Do you think you can get used to it?"

"Of course I can. Wherever my son is, that's home to me."

Zhou Rongrong stroked Li Zhiyan's face, still feeling as if she were in a dream. Now, all of the mother and son's belongings were moved in, and from now on, this would be their life.

"You stay here for a while; mom is going to make some food for you."

Neither had eaten through all the busyness; Zhou Rongrong went into the kitchen in her slippers to start cooking.

Watching his mom's silhouette in the kitchen, Li Zhiyan grew even more fond of his current life.

Being able to start anew, with his mother's constant presence, made his life truly happy.

...

After busying herself for over an hour, Zhou Rongrong made a full spread of dishes.

"To celebrate our official move, let's have a couple of drinks together."

Zhou Rongrong brought out a bottle of red wine from the kitchen.

Li Zhiyan could sense his mother's happiness; she usually didn't drink at all.

"Alright, mom, I'll join you."

"Xiao Yan, how are things going with that girl you mentioned, Su Mengchen?"

Upon hearing his mom ask about Su Mengchen,

Li Zhiyan honestly replied, "We've held hands."

"But we're not together yet."

Zhou Rongrong's eyes showed a mix of emotions; her son had finally grown up.

Would he still be as close to his mom as before?

Would he forget his mother after getting married? For a moment, Zhou Rongrong felt a pang of loss.

"That's good, you need to work hard." Discover hidden tales at мѵʟ

"By the way, mom, I have something to tell you."

"Su Mengchen, she's a bit lame."

"But I really like her."

Li Zhiyan believed his mom could handle this revelation, considering she had accepted the possibility of a forty-something daughter-in-law.

This matter seemed relatively minor in comparison.

"It's okay, Xiao Yan, as long as you're happy I will support you. In this world, you are everything to mom," Zhou Rongrong said, looking at Li Zhiyan with indulgent eyes.

Even if one day Li Zhiyan truly brought home a forty-something daughter-in-law, she felt in her heart that she could accept it.

"Alright, mom, I understand."

He also sensed some of the loss in his mother's heart.

"Mom, don't worry. You worked so hard to raise me.

"Even if I get married, you'll still be the most important woman in my heart.

"No one can replace you."

Zhou Rongrong smiled tenderly; indeed, there was a strong bond between mother and child.

It seemed as if her son knew everything that was in her heart.

"Alright, mom understands."

"Come, have a drink with mom."

Li Zhiyan raised his glass and clinked it with Zhou Rongrong's; thus began their new life together.

...

At night, Zhou Rongrong turned on the air conditioning and covered herself with a light blanket.

Gazing at the decor and new furniture in the master bedroom,

she found it difficult to fall asleep. Her son had given her so many surprises recently,

and the things he said were incredibly heartwarming.

To have such a son in her life,

she truly felt fortunate...

...

The next day, Zhou Rongrong, having a rare day off, woke up early to cook for her son.

By the time Li Zhiyan finished washing up, breakfast was already laid out on the table.

"Mom, did you sleep well?"

"Mm, I had some trouble falling asleep at first, but now it's much better. Sometimes I really feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought I could live in a house like this."

"Just take your time getting used to it. When I have more money in the future, I will buy you an even better house."

Of course, Li Zhiyan aspired to have luxury cars and mansions.

Under the right conditions, he would surely get these things in the future.

Zhou Rongrong was extremely happy; after having breakfast with Li Zhiyan, she went to the doorway and put on her high heels.

"Mom, be careful on your way."

"Mm..."

Zhou Rongrong gave Li Zhiyan a tight hug.

"Son, stay home and be good, and mom will make dinner when she gets back."

"Mom, I might come back late tonight."

"It's okay, mom will wait for you. Let me know ahead of time if you won't be coming back."

After touching her son's face, Zhou Rongrong left for work.

Li Zhiyan then messaged Fang Zhiya.

He hadn't exercised with Fang Zhiya these past few days and felt his hormones were getting a bit out of control.

He knew Aunt Fang must feel the same way.

After all, 18 and 42 were the most harmoniously compatible, perfect ages.

Li Zhiyan: "Aunt Fang, are you resting this afternoon?"
