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

After Li Zhiyan squatted down in front of Shen Rongfei,

she slowly leaned onto his back and hugged his neck.

Then, he gently supported Shen Rongfei's legs,

and together with Su Mengchen, they walked toward the outside.

To accommodate Su Mengchen, he walked slowly. Looking at Li Zhiyan by her side, Su Mengchen felt an unprecedented sense of security.

If it wasn't for Li Zhiyan by her side just now, she really wouldn't have known what to do.

...

After they arrived at the hotel, Li Zhiyan once again carried Shen Rongfei down from the taxi.

"Xiao Yan, could you go buy a pair of sports shoes for Auntie?"

"Sure, let me take you upstairs first."

After Li Zhiyan bent over and carried Shen Rongfei to the hotel room, he went to a nearby clothing store and came back with a pair of pink sports shoes.

Shen Rongfei took the sports shoes and gently slid her silky feet into them.

"Chenchen, you rest here, Mommy has some errands to run."

"Xiao Yan, please stay here and keep Chenchen company."

Aunt Shen's heart still desired to create some alone time for Li Zhiyan.

However, it was already getting dark, and in the bustling Sucity, Li Zhiyan really didn't dare to let Shen Rongfei go out alone.

"Mom, let me accompany you."

"It's a good opportunity for me to protect your safety."

"Okay..."

Shen Rongfei hesitated for a moment but ultimately agreed to Li Zhiyan's request to follow.

After instructing Su Mengchen not to leave the house, she left the hotel with Li Zhiyan.

"Aunt Shen, those high heels are very important to you, aren't they?"

Walking along the street, Li Zhiyan asked softly. Shen Rongfei's beautiful eyes held a hint of surprise; she always felt that Li Zhiyan understood her well, as if he knew what she was thinking.

"Yes."

"These high heels have an extraordinary significance for Auntie."

"They were a birthday present from my mother when I was 18."

"That's why I want to get these shoes repaired."

"However, I reckon the chances are slim, the heels are too thin."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Once they break, it's hard to find a way to fix them."

"Auntie also wants to give it a try now."

Regret was written all over Shen Rongfei's enchanting and seductive face.

These high heels were simply too important to her.

While they talked, the two of them arrived at a shoe repair stand.

"Brother, can these high heels be fixed?"

The shoe repair master glanced at them and then shook his head.

"These heels are too thin."

"It's impossible to fix them; even if they were repaired, they would only be good for display, not for wearing."

"Wearing them would certainly cause them to break again."

As expected... Hearing the master's words, sadness involuntarily welled up in Shen Rongfei's heart. These shoes, it seemed, would no longer belong to her.

In the time that followed, Shen Rongfei took Li Zhiyan to several shoe repair stands and some shops.

Nobody was able to repair the high heels.

After walking out of a shop, Shen Rongfei lowered her head.

The sorrow and sadness in her eyes were completely unmistakable.

"Mom, don't be upset. Actually, I could give it a try."

"I learned a bit about shoe repair in the past."

"If I can find the right materials for the adhesive."

"I think I should be able to repair your high heels."

In that instant, Shen Rongfei felt as though she had seen hope.

Under such circumstances, she had already completely despaired, but now Li Zhiyan suddenly told her he could try?

"Xiao Yan, you're not joking with Auntie, are you?"

"Of course not. Apart from studying, there are a few other things I know a little about."

After some thought, Shen Rongfei decided to believe in Li Zhiyan's words.

This child seemed to be very smart in every aspect, achieving quite a bit in every field...

The only thing he didn't like was studying; otherwise, with his intelligence, getting into Tsinghua or Peking University probably wouldn't have been a big issue.

"Then this matter, Auntie entrusts it to you. This pair of shoes is very important to me..."

Before Shen Rongfei could finish,

Li Zhiyan took her hand.

"Mom, rest assured, in my heart, you're just like my own mother. I will definitely do my utmost to help you with this."

"Let's go find the materials and cook up the adhesive now."

Li Zhiyan's adhesive-making skills were excellent, creating exceptionally firm shoe glue, but at the same time, the needed materials were rather intricate, a complex craft.

It seemed he would be quite busy today.

Moved by Li Zhiyan's filial piety, Shen Rongfei felt completely touched.

"Alright..."

In the time that followed, Li Zhiyan went everywhere with Shen Rongfei in search of materials.

When the final material was found by Li Zhiyan, it was already past nine in the evening.

Even though she wore sports shoes, Shen Rongfei felt some pain in her feet.

"Xiao Yan, do we have enough now?"

"Yes, Aunt Shen, let's find a place to cook the adhesive."

After looking around for a while, Li Zhiyan rented a stand from a small vendor whose business wasn't doing well and started to cook the adhesive.

Li Zhiyan's skills in making adhesive were strong, after all, they were learned automatically through a system, so he had full command of every procedure.

The shoe glue he cooked had no odor at all.

His adept movements...

made Shen Rongfei marvel once again at Li Zhiyan's talent.

Not only was this child able to repair shoes and make adhesive, but he also seemed to be adept at everything except studying.

The milky white shoe adhesive slowly took shape in the pot, and hope began to rise in Shen Rongfei's heart.
