Chapter 24: 024 Hug!
 

Because it was summer, both of them were dressed very lightly.

Rao Shiyun was wearing a cheongsam again.

Being held by her like that was almost the same as zero-distance contact.

Li Zhiyan, a young man full of vitality, how could he bear it?

Auntie Rao really was a woman among women.

She and Gu Wanzhou each had their own beauty.

“Xiao Yan, are you really not considering letting me be your godmother? Auntie really likes you,” she said.

“Still no,” he replied.

Li Zhiyan was resistant to the idea of a godmother; after all, the old saying went, “Once you recognize a godmother, you lose a godmother.”

“Then, could you call me ‘Mom’ just once, just to let Auntie fantasize a bit?”

To this request from Rao Shiyun, Li Zhiyan did not refuse.

“Mom.”

“Good son.”

After pinching Li Zhiyan’s face, she finally parted ways with Li Zhiyan.

After she left, her face turned red too—this kid actually had a reaction.

There really was a reason for the phrase “men and women should not be too intimate”; she would have to be more careful in the future.

Watching Rao Shiyun’s retreating figure, it was a long while before Li Zhiyan straightened up his waist.

“Ah, the surging hormones of youth really have nowhere to vent,” he sighed.

Walking along the road, Li Zhiyan opened the system to see if the system tasks had been refreshed.

And the Salted Fish System did not disappoint Li Zhiyan.

The new system task had been refreshed.

“Tomorrow night, when Gu Wanzhou goes to the park, she will be harassed by Huang Mao at the gazebo at 7:42 PM who will ask for her phone number.”

“Please go help her out of the trouble.”

“Task reward: fifty thousand yuan in cash.”

“To ensure the host’s safety.”

“Martial abilities learning in progress.”

“After learning is complete, the host will have the strength to take on five opponents.”

In an instant, Li Zhiyan felt a surge of ecstatic joy in his heart! Martial abilities?

Li Zhiyan, of average height, had always been at a disadvantage in fights; he had suffered quite a bit when he had previously fought with Liu Zifeng.

If he had these abilities, wouldn’t that ensure his safety?

It was the year 2010, and public security was far from as good as in the internet age.

All kinds of hoodlums and ruffians roamed the streets, so fights and brawls were common occurrences.

This ability was indeed very practical.

“My system really isn’t useless; at least it’s much better than those nouveau-rich systems. The nouveau-rich systems only offer money, but these abilities are much more precious than money,” he thought.

Looking at the progress of the skill learning, Li Zhiyan headed straight for the internet cafe with the intention of having a good gaming session.

Upon arriving at the internet cafe, Li Zhiyan indeed saw Li Shiyu, the rascal, playing CrossFire, still exploiting the same bugs, only now with a VIP account he was even more arrogant and rampantly cheating.

After buying a temporary card, Li Zhiyan sat next to Li Shiyu and tapped him on the shoulder.

“Come on, let’s play together,” he said.

Li Shiyu immediately exited the game.

“You came just at the right time. If you were a little later, it would’ve been full. Not to mention getting a seat,” he said.

“How did you feel about yesterday?” Li Zhiyan asked.

Li Shiyu revealed a knowing smile.

“Don’t even mention it. I really didn’t expect that kind of surprise when going upstairs, and she even gave me a red envelope with one yuan in it!”

As he said this, he pulled out the small red envelope from his pocket.

“This masseuse, quite professional indeed.”

“Brother Yan, why do I feel that you’ve changed, not quite the same as before? You seem to have a profound and unfathomable air about you now,” Li Shiyu commented.

“Maybe I’ve grown up,” Li Zhiyan suggested.

The two chatted as Li Zhiyan logged into his own CrossFire account.

“I’m thinking of getting a part-time job,” said Li Shiyu.

“Huh?”

Li Zhiyan really hadn’t expected his good friend, whose mind seemed filled only with internet cafes, to be considering taking on a part-time job.

“I asked around, and being a net manager pays fifteen hundred a month; with that, I could afford to go to the third floor several times a month.”

“Plus, as a net manager, I wouldn’t have to pay for computer use, which would be a huge saving.”

“But when they heard I was only going to do it for a month, they immediately let me go.”

Li Zhiyan did know a bit about being a net manager; it basically wasn’t possible to do it short-term.

After that, Li Shiyu went to the bar and brought back two bottles of chilled Coke.

When he was alone, he would at most buy a bottle of mineral water, but when Li Zhiyan came, he had to get two bottles of Coke to beat the heat.

“Forget it, you usually have to deposit a month’s salary for a net manager position, and school is starting in a month anyway. If you keep at it, you’d essentially be working for free.”

“Stop worrying about it so much; if you’re short on cash, I’ll lend you some.”

“Brother Yan, don’t be like this, I’m scared. Have you committed a crime?”

“Quit your yapping, let’s head to the New Year’s Plaza.”

Just as the two of them started the game, they saw a mature, arresting woman walk in.

This woman was dressed in a white button-up shirt paired with a black pencil skirt.

Below the pencil skirt, a pair of long creamy-white legs were somewhat captivating.

“Master’s wife! What brings you to an internet cafe?”

Li Shiyu subconsciously stood up, feeling quite terrified to have been caught in the internet café by the master’s wife.

Li Zhiyan was somewhat surprised as well; he hadn’t expected to run into Master’s wife Jiang Xian here. Seeing the way Li Shiyu reacted, it was clear he hadn’t yet managed to shake off his identity as a student.

That day at the gathering, he’d thought the master’s wife was incredibly beautiful. At 41, she still took such good care of herself; it really was no small feat.

One of the most noticeable features of the master’s wife was her exceptionally fair skin!

Auntie Rao and Aunt Gu both had very fair skin, but compared to the master’s wife, there was still a bit of a gap!

He really hadn’t noticed before.

Jiang Xian said gently, “Don’t be scared; the senior year has already started.”

“Your teacher asked me to check the nearby internet cafes to see if any students were sneaking off to go online.”

“You guys keep playing.”

With that, she glanced at Li Zhiyan, recalling the brave confession he had made to Yu Sisi’s mother.

This boy, I must say, truly has some guts.

In his class, Li Zhiyan had three people he particularly loathed.

One was the class advisor Yen Zhengjin, who constantly solicited various bribes from students. His mother didn’t have extra money to give gifts, so he always found things tough in class.

The second was the class president, Liu Yaolong. His grades were poor, but because his family gave many gifts, he became class president and swaggered around the class all day, forcing him to do extra cleaning duties.

The third was Liu Zifeng. He often mocked him for his family’s poverty and took every chance to cause him trouble.

Now, seeing her again, the master’s wife was truly beautiful.

Auntie Rao was also an extraordinary beauty.

He wondered what Liu Yaolong’s mother looked like.

At this moment, Li Zhiyan’s mind couldn’t help but wander.

“Master’s wife.”

Just as Jiang Xian looked around and was about to leave, Li Zhiyan called out to her.

“What is it?”

The master’s wife was still as gentle as ever.

“Master’s wife, could I add you on QQ? Once I go to university, I might really never see you again, and I can’t bear that.”

Seeing Li Zhiyan appearing somewhat reluctant to part from her…

…touched Jiang Xian’s heart.

“Sure, you can chat with the master’s wife whenever you’re free.”

Watching the two of them exchange QQ information, Li Shiyu was thoroughly impressed with Li Zhiyan.

Brother Yan was amazing! He even dared to add the master’s wife on QQ!

What was he up to?

…

At this time, Gu Wanzhou arrived at the balcony of her home, looking at the freshly sun-dried bed sheets.

Taking the sheets back to the bedroom, she started to fold them meticulously.

She really hadn’t expected her reaction to be so strong.

She was still the same as before…
