Starting Off By Confessing To My Classmate's Mother

Li Zhiyan: "Alright."

He certainly wouldn't say no—this was a chance to earn thirty thousand yuan! At this rate, if he kept completing these tasks as casually as eating and drinking, he could be a millionaire in no time.

With the housing prices in Wan City, he might even be able to buy his mom a new apartment soon.

Ruan Shiyun: "You agreed so quickly."

Li Zhiyan: "Of course. Didn't I say I'd treat you like my own mom?"

In her bedroom, Ruan Shiyun's slender legs were crossed gracefully as she looked at Li Zhiyan's reply, a warmth spreading in her chest.

When she first met Li Zhiyan, Ruan Shiyun had barely seen him as anything more than a passing stranger. She'd teased him a bit about his pursuit of Gu Wanzhou, seeing it as nothing more than harmless fun. But gradually, she'd realized there was much more to him than she initially thought.

A child from a modest background often matures early, and here he was, having taught himself computer programming and earned fifty thousand yuan at the age of eighteen. Her own son, no matter how she looked at it, couldn't match up to that.

Over time, her attitude towards Li Zhiyan had shifted, and now she genuinely appreciated his efforts. Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of taking him on as a godson.

Ruan Shiyun: "Alright, then. I'll contact you tomorrow. And this time, I'm sure Auntie Li will have a nice red envelope ready for you."

They chatted for a while, and it wasn't until past eleven that Li Zhiyan finally drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Li Zhiyan awoke feeling full of energy—a literal "dragon rising." Last night, he'd dreamt of giving Auntie Gu a massage, which then spiraled into scenes he could barely describe.

"Ah, to be young… when hormones control everything."

"But these things only happen in dreams."

And yet… why did the scenes from those island movies keep popping into his mind?

Shaking his head to clear out his wandering thoughts, he went to freshen up. When he finished, his mom had already set breakfast on the table.

"Mom, you didn't work overtime, did you?"

Seeing her son's genuine concern, Zhou Rongrong felt both surprised and proud. Her precious son had truly changed—he was far more thoughtful than before.

"No, I didn't."

While she was tempted to pick up some extra shifts to earn more, she noticed her son's watchful gaze lately. If she overworked herself, he'd definitely be upset.

"That's good to hear. Mom, I can make money now. Just work as you like, and if you don't feel like it, I'll support you. Once I save up enough, I'll get us a new apartment."

"I don't want us staying in this rental forever. It doesn't even have an elevator, and climbing those stairs every day is such a hassle."

Listening to her son's confident words, Zhou Rongrong couldn't hide her proud, indulgent smile. This boy—already dreaming of buying a house at just eighteen.

But she didn't want to discourage his enthusiasm.

"Alright then, I'll just wait for my son to make a fortune and buy me a new place," she laughed. "Then I won't have to worry about you finding a wife, either."

Around ten o'clock, Li Zhiyan received a message from Ruan Shiyun.

Ruan Shiyun: "Where are you? Auntie can come pick you up. Auntie Li's company is a bit out of the way."

He sent her his address and waited for her to arrive.

When the Audi A6 pulled up outside, Ruan Shiyun stepped out, waving at him from the car window.

"Li Zhiyan!"

"Coming down, Auntie Ruan!"

Descending the stairs, Li Zhiyan couldn't help but admire her. Auntie Ruan truly was a "big car" in every sense, from her figure to her style. Especially her chest—it was almost ridiculously ample. Only someone who'd been up close could know just how extraordinary it was.

"Auntie Ruan."

He stepped forward and gently took her soft, slender hand, savoring the smooth, delicate feel against his own. It was an exquisite sensation, different from Auntie Gu's, but just as mesmerizing.

Seeing her, he couldn't help but remember Li Meifeng's outrageous suggestion—that Auntie Ruan should nurse him. That woman really had no filter. But, he mused, he actually quite liked her unrestrained nature.

"Xiao Yan, hop in. Auntie already turned on the AC for you."

Noticing the rundown neighborhood he lived in, Ruan Shiyun felt a surge of sympathy and admiration for Li Zhiyan. To think that he managed to teach himself programming in such a humble environment—just how much had he endured and persevered?

Once they were both in the car, Li Zhiyan noticed the seatbelt accentuating her figure. He could almost gauge her real size now. Definitely a D+.

Even Auntie Gu's 36D, impressive as it was, couldn't quite match up to Auntie Ruan's proportions.

"Xiao Yan, you're living with your mom, right?"

She started the car, making casual conversation as they drove.

"Yes, Auntie Ruan."

"I bet your mom doesn't get much time to spend with you, does she?"

"Not really, but I understand. She works hard to save up for a home for us, so I just try to do what I can. That's why I want to earn enough to ease her burden."

Hearing this, Ruan Shiyun's nose stung slightly, her heart aching for this boy who seemed to carry so much on his young shoulders. There was nothing that moved her more than a hardworking, understanding young man from a modest background.

"Don't worry, Xiao Yan. I'll make sure Auntie Li gives you a nice red envelope this time."

After a 20-minute drive, the Audi A6 finally pulled up in front of the Jinzi Tower.

The office building housed many companies, including Li Meifeng's.

"Look, there's Auntie Li waiting for you downstairs. She seems quite fond of you as well."

Li Zhiyan noticed Li Meifeng, whose appearance was rather plain in comparison to the other aunties he knew. If only she were a little more attractive.

Then again, it was 2010; middle-aged women weren't as well-kept as they would be in 2024, when many had mastered the art of self-care and developed their own style. That's part of the appeal of mature women in 2024—their natural grace and sophistication.

Gu Wanzhou and Ruan Shiyun were rare gems even now, a combination of beauty and charm that was seldom seen. He was incredibly lucky to have so many exceptional women around him. Most men wouldn't meet even one in their lifetime.

"Hey, Li Zhiyan!"

Li Meifeng called out as they approached, waving at him cheerfully.

"You two sure seem to get along well!"

She eyed him teasingly. "Hey, did Auntie Ruan sneakily feed you?"

"Did you get your fill?"

Even Li Zhiyan found it hard to handle her straightforwardness. He had encountered her bold humor before, but it was still a bit much.
