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

My rebirth might cause some butterfly effects, allowing certain things to happen that originally didn't, but some things always remain unchanged.

For instance, Zhang Zhiyuan's relentless pursuit of Su Mengyue.

But Li Zhiyan did actually have a good impression of the girl Su Mengyue, she always spoke frankly about her dislikes, and she didn't accept gifts from others.

Even under Zhang Zhiyuan's ardent presentation, Su Mengyue accepted a gift from him just once.

She even reciprocated by giving Zhang Zhiyuan a wallet.

Although it wasn't expensive, it still counted as courtesy returned.

"Yeah, the class belle is really so gorgeous, I'm smitten, I swear I'll totally make her mine."

Ziang Zexi patted Zhang Zhiyuan's shoulder.

"Bro, I think Su Mengyue is out of your league, she was asking about Brother Yan just yesterday, I reckon she likes Brother Yan."

Li Zhiyan was taken aback, in his previous life he hardly had any interaction with Su Mengyue.

After graduation, he didn't know anything about her, and now she was asking about him?

"No way..."

"Yes, it's true,"

Su Quanyou said earnestly, "Brother Yan wrestling the instructor to the ground, that was just too cool, and your 'Dragon Legend' is getting hotter and hotter around the school."

"Now there are even senior girls wanting to add Brother Yan on QQ, after all, who doesn't like a man who shows great promise at a young age."

Then he seemed to remember something.

"Right, Brother Yan, I heard you beat up Yin Qiang?"

"Not exactly beat him, it was just grabbing his wrist."

The roommates all started worrying upon hearing Li Zhiyan's confirmation.

"Anyway, Brother Yan, you'd better be careful."

"Yin Qiang is the Student Council President, and his mom is the department head, he really isn't someone to mess with."

Li Zhiyan remained silent; the Student Council might indeed seem imposing to students who hadn't seen much of the world, after all, even senior Mei Yu could throw her weight around.

But to Li Zhiyan, that was truly nothing, having been reborn, even this diploma was nothing more than a piece of scrap paper to him.

After that, the conversation among the four of them started to get cheeky.

Risqué talk is a great way to rapidly strengthen the bonds of male friendship.

It was not until Su Mengyue ran up to them with a bottle of Nongfu Spring that the bantering stopped abruptly.

Looking at Su Mengyue, who looked pretty even in military training uniform with her hair tied back in a ponytail, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but fantasize.

Maybe Su Mengyue came to find him.

However, what Su Mengyue said next dragged him back to reality.

"Li Zhiyan!"

"For you to drink…"

After thrusting the water bottle into Li Zhiyan's hand, Su Mengyue ran off shyly, her demeanor of a girl with a budding crush so obvious that even a fool could tell she was interested in Li Zhiyan.

Li Zhiyan was taken aback, when had he ever had such a shining moment!

Such things were unthinkable to him before.

However, he hadn't noticed before that if Su Mengyue were to wait another decade or so, she would definitely become a beautiful woman.

Han Xueying, who had just walked over from a distance, saw this scene very clearly.

This kid, seemingly so ordinary, was able to attract the class belle?

"Assemble!"

The drill instructor's whistle sounded.

Ziang Zexi and the others dashed toward the assembly point, with Zhang Zhiyuan looking noticeably dejected.

"Li Zhiyan, I didn't see that coming, you're quite popular."

Han Xueying stood next to Li Zhiyan, her pretty face still wearing a gentle smile, always so tender to her fellow classmates.

Although surprised, after a thought Han Xueying felt it was normal; the moment Li Zhiyan had effortlessly bested the instructor in wrestling did make him seem quite cool.

Girls in their adolescence might fall for someone over a small thing.

"It was just water, Teacher Han."

Han Xueying looking at the bottle of Nongfu Spring water said, "Although it's just water, Su Mengyue already has that idea about you."

"You should grasp the opportunity well, lately quite a few sophomores and juniors have been asking for Su Mengyue's QQ number, but I saw her refusing them all, you have a good chance, Li Zhiyan."

Li Zhiyan knew that Han Xueying was a woman who could chat about anything.

If nothing unexpected happened, standing here with her could lead to a long conversation.

Recalling that in his past life his counselor had helped him heal so much pain, Li Zhiyan was filled with gratitude.

"Teacher Han..."

"May I call you Aunt Han?"

Han Xueying's lovely face showed some surprise.

"Why…"

"Because it feels more intimate."

"Maybe because I come from a single-parent family, so I receive less affection."

"I really like your smile."

"I want to call you auntie."

Li Zhiyan knew Han Xueying was a kind-hearted confidante; addressing her this way could quickly bridge their distance.

He needed to take care of Aunt Han well, so it would be easier for him to ask for leave during his university days.

Han Xueying fell silent for a moment, feeling pity for Li Zhiyan's family situation.

She hadn't realize he was from a single-parent family until now.

"Alright... when there's no one else around, you can call me Aunt Han."

"But in front of the other students, you still have to call me Teacher Han, after all, I am your counselor."

"Alright..."

Li Zhiyan agreed and Han Xueying patted his head, thinking what a good kid he was.
