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

Translation:

"I understand, Teacher Han..."

Han Xueying was just a counselor, not really his teacher, but out of respect, he indeed had to address her that way.

Of course, Li Zhiyan's heart still favored the name Aunt Han the most.

"Alright, off you go to military training."

After patting Li Zhiyan's head, Han Xueying felt an inexplicable fondness for the boy.

Once military training started, it began with the usual standing at attention.

"Instructor, I'm feeling really dizzy, can I rest for a bit?"

A tall, burly student wanted to rest.

The instructor was used to this kind of thing.

"You can rest if you want, come up here and let's wrestle. If you win, you don't have to be here for the next ten days of military training!"

The boy immediately chickened out; how could he possibly defeat the instructor?

Li Zhiyan's eyes lit up...

He walked out from the ranks, standing at 1.7 meters and appearing somewhat slender in front of the instructor.

"Instructor, I want to try!"

Li Zhiyan didn't want to miss the chance to avoid military training.

The instructor was surprised. Someone really dared to wrestle with him?

Haha, how interesting.

"Brother Yan, don't be impulsive!"

Su Quanyou felt like kneeling! The instructor was just joking, but you actually want to get beaten up.

The instructor had professional training, how could you at 1.7 meters tall beat an instructor who's 1.8 meters plus!

"Do you really want to try?"

"Yes, Instructor, just don't beat me up too badly."

"Okay! You've got guts!"

The instructor went to face Li Zhiyan, planning to play a little wrestling game with the kid who had quite some courage.

Surprise filled Su Mengyue's beautiful eyes; she had been impressed by Li Zhiyan's demeanor before.

She had not expected him to wrestle with the instructor today.

In the corner of the playground fence, wearing sunglasses and covered in thick sunscreen, Su Mengchen also saw this scene and couldn't help worrying about her childhood friend.

As the protective big sister with a sweet and lovely face, Han Xueying stepped in front of Li Zhiyan.

"Instructor Zhang, the kid was just joking; you can't hurt the child."

She wanted to stop the wrestling game.

"Rest assured, Teacher Han, I'll stop at the slightest touch."

Though the instructor had thought of enjoying the match,

with continuous blocking, he had no opportunity to start.

"Teacher Han, I really don't want to do military training. Please let me wrestle with the instructor, it's just a game, he definitely won't bully a kid, will he?"

"Exactly, it's just stopping at the slightest touch, an educational game."

Seeing Li Zhiyan keen to fight, Han Xueying reluctantly ended her protective behavior.

"Alright! But Instructor Zhang, you must not hurt the child."

After Han Xueying stepped aside, the instructor advanced to wrestle with Li Zhiyan. With a fierce charge, he frightened the students at the front to step back a few paces.

Li Zhiyan, with fast reflexes, casually reached out to grab the instructor's neck and then pinned him to the ground.

The event happened so quickly, even the instructor was shocked. He had been beaten in wrestling by an 18-year-old kid?

That was too ridiculous!

"I... I give up."

The instructor stood up, realizing this kid was clearly a skilled fighter, not just showy moves; his strength and speed were on a whole different level.

Three of himself might not be a match for him; how could there be such a skilled fighter in college!

There was a moment of silence at the scene, followed by a tsunami of cheering.

Han Xueying covered her mouth, her gentle eyes filled with astonishment; this kid was impressive.

Su Mengyue felt a tingling sensation, as if she was being charmed, and her pretty face grew somewhat hot.

Outside the playground, Su Mengchen remembered the time Li Zhiyan had stood in front of her to drive away Yin Qiang, and how her dormitory mates had told her about Yin Qiang's terrible reputation.

In her chat with her mom, Su Mengchen also learned that Li Zhiyan wanted to pursue her.

Looking at Li Zhiyan's figure, she felt an unexplained sense of belonging, thinking that Li Zhiyan would protect her well.

Under the envious eyes of his classmates, Li Zhiyan legitimately escaped military training and could just wait for class.

However, after Li Zhiyan left, Instructor Zhang's announcement of extra training made the students groan in complaint.

...

"Mengchen."

After Li Zhiyan came over to Su Mengchen's side, seeing her arms and legs covered in thick sunscreen, he felt extremely relieved.

Nothing was more important than the well-being of a person he cared about.

"Let's add each other on QQ. I know you have some difficulty speaking, but we'll be able to communicate a lot better on QQ," he said.

Su Mengchen kept her head low and did not speak, her face growing redder and redder.

After quite a while, she reported her QQ number in a voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

Ordinary people could never have heard her, but Li Zhiyan was all too familiar with this QQ account. Indeed, it had been transferred from Shen Rongfei's hands to Chenchen's.

"I've sent the request. I've got to go, just accept it later."

One couldn't rush things with a girl inclined towards being introverted like Su Mengchen.

One had to take it slow...

Watching Li Zhiyan's departing figure, until he got far away, Su Mengchen slowly took out her smartphone.

She then logged into QQ and accepted Li Zhiyan's friend request.

Back in the dormitory, cooling off under a fan, Li Zhiyan saw that Su Mengchen had accepted his friend request so quickly, and he too was surprised.
