BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55: 049 Chat
"Mom, I\'m back now, you can rest."
"Okay, son."
After charging the battery, Li Zhiyan returned to his own room with peace of mind.
He opened the Strong Chicken system panel and saw that the reward of fifty thousand yuan had been deposited.
Including previous savings, he now had total savings of one hundred and thirty thousand yuan.
And now the internet cafe was bringing in a fixed income of a thousand yuan every day.
Truly delightful.
"The Strong Chicken system seems to be getting more powerful lately, issuing two tasks at the same time."
"So, is it possible to release another task while waiting for Aunt Gu\'s task?"
"Speaking of which, Aunt Fang\'s feet are really white."
"Soft, too—no next time, but if..."
"If I could help..."
"Oh my god..."
"It\'d be great to help wash Aunt Fang\'s feet as a sign of filial piety."
With these strange thoughts in mind, Li Zhiyan went to sleep.
...
Close to twelve o\'clock, Fang Zhiya was still washing a pair of pants.
Because of the hot weather, both pairs of pants were soaking wet.
They had to be thoroughly washed; otherwise, they really couldn\'t be worn.
"Is that really the case..."
"I am such a shameless woman."
Strange memories and projections echoed continuously in Fang Zhiya\'s heart.
As a woman with an extremely traditional heart, she felt an odd sensation, yet she never trimmed her nails.
...
The next day, he went to Brotherhood Internet Cafe to play games as usual. Li Shiyu brought over two bottles of ice-cold Coke, settling down to grind levels with Li Zhiyan.
"Brother Yan, ever since yesterday, our business has seriously boomed. Last night, all the machines reserved for all-nighters on the first floor were fully occupied!"
"I\'ve done the math, and our daily profits fluctuate between eight hundred and twelve hundred yuan!"
"Only wonder how business will be after school starts."
Enjoying this unrestrained lifestyle, Li Zhiyan took a big gulp of Coke.
It was a good thing he had the Strong Chicken system, otherwise, he would have to struggle with starting a business like other reborn individuals, with no guarantee of success.
Being an average person like him, he preferred to slack off and wait for Brother Tongzi to assign him tasks.
Now, Li Zhiyan was quite sure about one thing...
Anyway, the tasks issued by the system were always based on the desires hidden in his subconscious.
"You don\'t have to worry about these things; just play around here during the summer vacation."
...
"Hey, son."
Around ten o\'clock, with two hours left before the check-out time,
Fang Zhiya, who hadn\'t eaten breakfast yet, finally got in touch with her son Liu Yaolong.
"Son, where are you? Mom is going to rent a place soon."
"Come find Mom."
"It\'d give me some courage."
A woman, especially a beautiful one, renting a house is obviously very unsafe.
It\'s easy for the landlord or neighbors to set their sights on her.
Most houses in the suburbs of Wancheng are still old-fashioned walk-up buildings.
Not like future home designs—these have poor privacy.
For a woman like Fang Zhiya to rent a place alone, it is indeed unsafe.
Liu Yaolong\'s impatient voice came through.
"You go by yourself! I\'m not staying with you. How embarrassing to live in some rundown rental. I\'ll stay at my classmate\'s place and go straight to school when it starts."
```
"Don\'t bother me if it\'s not important."
"Arguing about your wages in front of my classmates, you really made me lose face!"
Liu Yaolong\'s voice was brimming with undisguised disdain for his mother.
"Don\'t call me anymore, I\'m turning off my phone!"
The "beep beep" of the call sounded as Fang Zhiya continued to dial, but there was no longer any sound from the other end.
Tears fell involuntarily. She hadn\'t expected that her son, whom she had doted on since childhood, would refuse to answer her calls because he felt embarrassed about living in a rented house.
After sitting on the sofa for a long time, she went to tidy up the trousers hung out on the balcony.
By now, the damp marks on the trousers had been completely dried by the sun, and the memories of yesterday had been deeply hidden away.
Around 11 o\'clock, she dialed Li Zhiyan\'s phone.
"Xiao Yan, where are you now?"
"Aunt Fang, I\'m at the internet café."
"Then, let me come to see you."
"Sure, Aunt Fang, I really wanted to see you and talk to you."
Li Zhiyan\'s voice was enthusiastic and carried a palpable sense of joy that anyone could hear.
Clearly, he was fond of her.
"I\'ll come to see you right away."
After the call ended, a warm feeling rose in her heart. She truly hadn\'t expected that during her lowest moments, the one who had been caring without asking for anything in return, offering her warmth, would be her son\'s enemy, Li Zhiyan.
The warmth others offered was as negligible as grains of rice.
Whereas the care Li Zhiyan provided made her feel an unprecedented warmth in her heart.
...
After finishing a game with Li Shiyu, he stopped playing.
"Brother Yan, let\'s keep going."
"You play first, someone\'s coming over soon."
Li Shiyu became curious.
He thought it must be some beautiful lady since, in his heart, Brother Yan was the reincarnation of Cao Cao!
"Who is it?"
"Aunt Fang, Liu Yaolong\'s mom."
Admiration filled Li Shiyu\'s eyes.
"Brother Yan, you\'re awesome! I bet no one will dare to mess with you from now on! Anyone who does will suffer your fiercest retaliation!"
"It\'ll be like giving their family a second child!"
"Just look at Liu Yaolong daring to offend you, and here you are, having his mom come to you!"
Li Zhiyan quickly stopped Li Shiyu, this guy was simply becoming a copycat of Li Meifeng.
Always speaking as if he\'s speeding at 200 miles an hour.
He knew he was a very innocent person, and soon they would lead him astray.
"Don\'t talk nonsense, Aunt Fang is here."
"I\'ll go welcome her."
Outside the internet café, Li Zhiyan greeted her warmly.
"Aunt Fang, you\'ve arrived."
He stepped forward, intending to take Fang Zhiya\'s hand.
Such a gesture was something that Gu Wanzhou and Rao Shi Yun could now accept.
However, Fang Zhiya obviously tried to dodge it.
"Uh..."
"Xiao Yan, thank you for last night."
"If it wasn\'t for you, Aunt really wouldn\'t know what to do."
"Oh, didn\'t you say you would help Auntie set up a QQ account? I\'ve never used QQ before."
Li Zhiyan felt that Fang Zhiya had come to ask him for help.
Within his power, he wouldn\'t refuse this traditionally beautiful mature woman.
After all, she was the origin of their class leader...
"Please follow me."
