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

At the same time, Li Zhiyan had also anticipated Fang Zhiya\'s reaction.

So he supported Fang Zhiya\'s slender waist.

And with a forceful push from his calf, he maintained her standing.

However, Li Zhiyan did not dare to continue hugging Fang Zhiya, for this kind of traditional-minded aunt, one must still act properly.

Otherwise, there might be no future interactions.

"Now that you mention it, you two really do look alike."

"Young man, why is your face so red?"

The old lady looked at the somewhat unsteady Fang Zhiya and asked curiously.

"Maybe it\'s because the weather is too hot."

Li Zhiyan took the contract, carefully checked it over to make sure there were no traps,

only then did he let Fang Zhiya sign the contract and pay six months of rent plus a deposit of 2100 yuan.

"Well, we won\'t bother you anymore, if there\'s anything regarding water and electricity, you can knock on our door at 101 on the first floor."

After seeing the two off, Fang Zhiya placed her suitcase in the corner.

Thinking back to the close contact just now, she still felt her legs go weak.

Really good...

A mature talent at a young age can only be described as a genius.

"Aunt Fang, I see you still need a lot of things here, let me go out and shop with you."

Li Zhiyan knew that at this time, Fang Zhiya was indeed in difficulty and needed his company.

"Yes, we need pots, bowls, a wok, and so on."

After shelling out over two thousand yuan, Fang Zhiya\'s savings were nearly drained. If it weren\'t for Li Zhiyan\'s previous assistance, retrieving the wages that belonged to her,

she would really be left homeless on the streets nowadays.

"Then I\'ll accompany you to buy them."

When going out, a female neighbor passing by greeted Fang Zhiya and got to know her, but standing next to her, Fang Zhiya didn\'t seem to be on the same level.

Both in their forties, Aunt Fang\'s fair skin was captivating.

Whereas this woman\'s skin was not only dark, but also covered with quite a few freckles.

Li Zhiyan could understand that most middle-aged women in this world are like this, and the carefree and well-maintained beautiful mature women are only a minority.

In her eyes, Li Zhiyan saw some envy, which was quite common.

...

Walking on the street, Fang Zhiya\'s mind kept revisiting the moment Li Zhiyan clung close to her.

Although it wasn\'t complete intimacy, it was still quite remarkable.

What a child, without so many concepts in mind, that\'s why he pressed so close.

"Aunt Fang."

"You should be careful living here from now on, if there\'s anything, you can call me at any time."

"I don\'t live too far from here."

"I can come over any time."

Every word from Li Zhiyan was so warm, making Fang Zhiya feel the warmth from this society.

"Xiao Yan, let Aunt Fang cook for you later."

"Sure, Aunt Fang, I haven\'t tried your cooking yet."

"Right, we need to find some curtains to solve your privacy issues later on."

"Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to do anything."

With the neighbors being a mixed bag, Li Zhiyan didn\'t know if anyone was coveting Aunt Fang\'s body.

But, taking care of privacy was essential.

Indeed, heating water for a bath in the future would be somewhat difficult.

Thinking of that scene, Li Zhiyan\'s heart ached slightly, and he bent forward a little.

And then, a voice buried deep in his soul rang out.

It was a voice that every countryman could never forget!

"Two yuan, everything\'s just two yuan!"

"Whatever you look at, it\'s cheap, whatever you buy, it\'s a bargain."

"For two yuan, you can\'t buy a loss." уоս%г%-

"Two bucks, you can\'t get fooled."

"Everything\'s two bucks!"

The brainwashing voice played on a loop.

Li Zhiyan knew, Aunt Fang probably really needed a place like this right now.

"Aunt Fang, there\'s a two-dollar store ahead, let\'s go take a look," Xiao Yan suggested.

"Hmm, okay."

Fang Zhiya wanted to buy a few different pots for various purposes, like a basin for washing her face, one for soaking her feet, one for...

"This basin seems a bit too flimsy, doesn\'t it? It\'s likely to break easily."

"Beauty, over here we have some for five dollars each, they\'re a bit sturdier."

Indeed, the soft ones weren\'t very practical.

The harder basins were more reliable, but the three dollars extra made Fang Zhiya feel a bit reluctant.

Although her family used to be well off, she had always been frugal, and now without money or a job, she naturally had to be even more careful with her spending.

In the end, she picked out four basins and set them aside.

Then, she followed Li Zhiyan into the two-dollar store to pick out other things.

The two-dollar store was incredibly popular at that moment.

After all, it was genuinely a bargain, akin to Pinduoduo\'s physical store version.

"Aunt Fang, you need some cups, right?" Xiao Yan asked.

"You can get two cups here for everyday drinking."

"They have plates, bowls, and chopsticks too."

Buying these kinds of things in a two-dollar store was really cost-effective, especially since they\'d usually cost upwards of ten dollars each in a supermarket.

My mom also liked buying these things in places like this.

"Hmm, this plate looks good."

"Oh right, there are also trash cans, garbage bags, brooms."

"And mops."

Moving into a new home really did involve many hassles.

So, there were too many things that needed to be bought at this point.

"Aunt Fang, take your time choosing, no need to rush," Xiao Yan assured.

"I\'ll help you carry everything back later."

Continuously selecting household items, Fang Zhiya was about to buy some tissues when Li Zhiyan stopped her.

"Aunt Fang, we should buy tissues from a reputable brand," Xiao Yan advised.

"It\'s unhygienic..."

The difference between men and women is significant; the production process for some non-branded tissues is truly unspeakable.

They can easily lead to gynecological diseases.

It\'s better to be cautious with such matters.

"I understand, Xiao Yan, you really know a lot," Aunt Fang acknowledged.

The more Fang Zhiya observed this kid, the more she liked him. He wasn\'t just 18 with his own internet café but seemed to understand a bit about everything.

The two continued to browse the two-dollar store.

They stumbled upon a pile of books that were in complete disarray.

At that time, supervision was lax, so some of the books in the two-dollar store could be sold directly.

A glance brought back Li Zhiyan\'s adolescent memories; he used to like reading here in the past.

And whenever he had money, he would buy some books to treasure.

Now, several were still hidden in his family\'s treasure chest at home.

However, he never looked at that messy stuff—this upright gentleman only read the classics...

Fang Zhiya also caught sight of the extremely explicit book covers.

The book covers were enough to make one blush.

"Passions in the rental house, night after night..."

"The life of a professional tutor, that night..."

"Wife infertile, that day with the sister-in-law..."

"The neighbor\'s mature and charming wife, I indulged in sin with..."

Each title made Fang Zhiya\'s face grow hot.
