The task of borrowing money this time was easy to accomplish.
He only needed to lend out twenty thousand yuan.
However, Li Zhiyan also wanted to take this opportunity to make some progress with Aunt Fang.
He had missed out on too much motherly affection in his childhood, and he needed to reclaim it.
Aunt Fang could definitely provide him with a fulfilling portion.
Although she might not be able to overfeed him like Auntie Rao, he was certainly satisfied.
...
The following two days were calm and uneventful.
Li Zhiyan had been playing games in the internet café with Li Shiyu until the system-triggered event finally happened.
It was while Li Zhiyan was chatting with his master in the internet café.
Fang Zhiya's phone call came through.
"Xiao Yan..."
The anxiety in her voice was crystal clear to Li Zhiyan. Clearly, the class monitor had scared her.
It seemed that the class monitor was indeed a little devil when it came to lying, which Li Zhiyan found amusing. But the class monitor truly deserved to be struck by lightning.
"Aunt Fang, what's wrong? Please, take your time," Li Zhiyan said.
Admiration filled Li Shiyu's eyes standing nearby. Brother Yan was so awesome that he must have demolished his enemy's crystal by now. Standing in the fountain taunting was the ultimate gaming experience.
...
"Xiao Yan, this is what happened," she started.
"Yao Long accidentally crashed into someone's BMW while riding his bike outside."
"The other party detained him and demanded twenty thousand yuan."
"If we don't pay, they are going to send him to prison."
"Auntie is really out of options now."
"I can't borrow the money, Auntie feels very embarrassed, but now you're the only one who can help me," Aunt Fang said.
In her rental room, Fang Zhiya was increasingly realizing the worth of Li Zhiyan.
When everyone else shunned her like she was a plague, it was only Li Zhiyan who appeared to save her in her most desperate time.
He even lent her twenty thousand yuan consecutively.
"Aunt Fang, I will transfer the money to you right away."
"Wait for me, I will come to your house shortly," Li Zhiyan promised.
After transferring the money, the mission was complete, and Li Zhiyan's savings successfully reached 430 thousand yuan.
"Take care of the internet café," he instructed.
"I got it, Brother Yan. Don't worry," Li Shiyu replied.
...
Upon arriving at Fang Zhiya's house and knocking on the door, he saw Aunt Fang with swelling red eyes.
In a few days, he would continue to look for excuses to ask his mother for money.
When he had enough...
...he could flaunt his wealth around the university campus after the semester started, occasionally renting a luxury car to show off at school. Right now, Liu Yaolong's mind was filled with bright visions for the future.
...
Back at the rental, the abusive couple was not present.
Li Zhiyan surmised that the last time the abusive husband had come back in broad daylight was probably because they couldn't hold back after a relative's visit and had to return home to vent their violence.
After closing the door, the two of them moved closer to the fan to enjoy the breeze.
Li Zhiyan could smell the faint scent of Fang Zhiya; it seemed that no matter the time, her scent was always pleasant.
"Aunt Fang,"
"if something happens in the future, please talk to me first. Don't keep it to yourself, alright?"
"I'm really worried about you now."
"If anything happens to you, I wouldn't be able to take it."
"You're a very, very important person to me."
Fang Zhiya hummed softly, deeply touched.
The two sat on small stools blowing in the fan's breeze, and after about fifteen minutes, the summer heat began to slowly dissipate.
Inadvertently, Li Zhiyan and Fang Zhiya found their gazes interlocking.
Fang Zhiya's face slowly reddened, her heartbeat quickening significantly.
Why had she never thought of this child as a man before?
Now looking at him, he was indeed getting more handsome, and she couldn't help but see him as a man.
As a man who could impregnate her.
The memory of their previous kiss surfaced in her mind.
Shame flooded her, and Fang Zhiya felt increasingly disgraceful.
At 41, she was still entertaining thoughts of kissing an 18-year-old boy.
"Aunt Fang..."
"May I continue to kiss you?"
"No... it really isn't right. Before, it was to teach you,"
"to let you know what kissing a woman feels like, not to let you have wild thoughts. I'm 23 years older than you; we shouldn't kiss anymore."
"Aunt Fang, you've already taught me once, teaching me again wouldn't really matter, please..."
"Let me kiss you one more time, alright?"
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Fang Zhiya to refuse but kissed her red lips directly.
"Mmm..."
"Xiao Yan..."
Fang Zhiya was too late to resist; as Li Zhiyan's kiss invaded her, she completely melted and began to respond to his kiss.
