Chapter 5: Aunt Gu, maybe we are destined to meet.
And because she understood everything, some images involuntarily popped up in her mind.
A small horse, a big cart...
Odd, yet possessed a differt kind of beauty.
Li Zhiyan made a lot of sse, but, she could never be with Li Zhiyan.
Firstly, there was a 3-year age gap, no future.
Secondly, Li Zhiyan\'s looks and height were average, something she would not have be interested in wh she was younger, and he was just an immature child; his confession was probably driv by hormonal teage fantasies.
If she agreed to be with him, it would be an extremely irresponsible act towards both herself and him.
However, the kind-hearted Gu Wanzhou ultimately couldn\'t bear to crush Li Zhiyan.
The boy was from a single-part family and lacked affection, thinking of which made Gu Wanzhou feel overwhelmed by maternal feelings.
She couldn\'t hurt the child any further, it looked like she could only use an adult\'s method to solve the issue, cold treatmt.
First say she needed some time to think it over, and th delay, gradually, it would come to nothing, after all, she probably wouldn\'t see him many times in a lifetime.
"Honey, can you give auntie some time to think it over?"
"I will give you an answer after some time."
Li Zhiyan knew that now was about the right time; if he kept on pestering her, it would backfire.
As a 4-year-old middle-aged woman, particularly one who has be through a lot and is expericed and intellectual.
Her thoughts were more oft inclined towards rationality.
So, there was no need for him to continue now.
After all, he would see Aunt Gu again tomorrow.
"Alright th, Aunt Gu."
"Let\'s add each other on QQ."(A communication software similar to WhatsApp)
"Okay."
Though she wanted to break off contact with Li Zhiyan directly, thinking about the pitiful circumstances of the boy.
She still took out her smartphone and exchanged QQ with Li Zhiyan.
Gu Wanzhou\'s QQ ID was very poetic, named Eving Fishing Song.
And Li Zhiyan\'s QQ ID made him feel an urge to itch his feet, Forgott Love.
"Aunt Gu, don\'t refuse me wh I try to chat with you."
"Hmm..."
...
After the two left the teahouse.
Gu Wanzhou asked, "Li Zhiyan, should auntie take you home?"
Glancing at the roses on the passger seat, the image of Li Zhiyan confessing to her flashed through Gu Wanzhou\'s mind.
"No need, Auntie, I can get back by myself, my home isn\'t far from here."
"I was actually planning to spd some time on the internet."
"But, I always have this feeling, Aunt Gu, that we will meet again soon."
Li Zhiyan was aware that a woman probably believed in fate.
"Why?"
Gu Wanzhou was also very curious.
"Maybe it\'s fate, sixth sse, maybe it\'s just my imagination."
Gu Wanzhou smiled gtly, she felt that Li Zhiyan\'s impulse towards her would soon vanish.
The child still fancied internet cafes, utterly childish.
After watching Gu Wanzhou leave, Li Zhiyan st a QQ message to his best frid Li Shiyu.
"Meet at Fantasy Internet Cafe."
"I\'m on my way, brother."
Li Zhiyan didn\'t go straight home, because his mother was still at work, and it was quite inconvit to use the internet on the phone, particularly the limited QQ functions of the flip phone.
He wanted to see if he could find Su Mgch\'s QQ ID; the 8-year-old Su Mgch, what was she doing?
Since he had come back to life, he could not let her down no matter what.
The tragedies of Su Mgch and Sh Rongfei mother and daughter, this time, must not repeat at any cost.
Having arrived at Fantasy Internet Cafe, Li Zhiyan habitually oped a temporary session.
Not long after he had sat down, Li Shiyu came over with two bottles of Coca-Cola.
"Here, one for each of us."
Li Zhiyan looked at his best frid and felt a warmth in his heart.
This guy was ev more ordinary than himself, the kind of person who would vanish completely in a crowd.
His most vivid memory of Li Shiyu was of him being a hardcore internet addict!
He spt all his time online, scrimping on his meal money to pay for internet fees, and no matter how hungry he got, he insisted on buying himself a bottle of Coke while surfing the web.
After graduation, Li Shiyu\'s biggest hope was to start a family.
But being as poor and commonplace as he was, this dream was virtually unattainable.
Latter, after giving up on marriage and saving some money, he bought a Cadillac CT5 and simply lived the life of the Bath Emperor.
As for all the talk about being bullied in a nursing home in old age and being lonely, well, whatever!
Every time the gold-medal masseuse \'danced\' over someone\'s body,
All worries are forgott!
There\'s nothing truer in the fridship betwe m than this.
Latter, wh he was down on his luck, he didn\'t tell Li Shiyu, but once Li Shiyu found out about his predicamt, he didn\'t say a word, sold his Cadillac, and lt him two hundred thousand.
Having be reborn, seeing his good brother without worries, only concerned with surfing the web, felt truly great.
"Li Zhiyan, you looked so cool today, directly confessing to Yu Sisi\'s mom, you didn\'t notice Yu Sisi\'s expression!"
"I heard, she was chatting with that bastard Liu Zifg, planning to reject you. She didn\'t private message you to call off your confession."
"Your move was gius!"
"A finishing blow, it was definitely a finishing blow!"
Speaking, Li Shiyu seemed to suddly remember something.
"Right, did Aunt Gu agree?"
"What are you thinking, how could she agree?"
"Here, take this to buy half a year worth of Big Cannon."
Li Zhiyan pulled out a hundred Yuan note from his pocket and slapped it in front of Li Shiyu.
This guy always yammered about how cool it would be to blow things up with a Big Cannon during his breaks.
"No way, Li Zhiyan, you didn\'t rob a place, did you?"
"That\'s not the way to go, man!"
"It\'s illegal!"
"Cut the crap, it\'s from my mom. Go top up some QQ Coins."
After going back and forth for quite a while,
Li Shiyu finally wt to the counter and asked the internet cafe manager to top up 0 QQ Coins, which he used to buy half a year\'s worth of Big Cannon in the CF mall.
"Now I want to see which grandchild dares to face me at the cter gate!"
"Log in, let\'s go play Blast mode together, you be the defder, and we\'ll share info."
Li Zhiyan just smiled.
"You go ahead, I have something else to do. You play first, I\'ll log on later."
The ever-thusiastic Li Shiyu didn\'t bother to ask what Li Zhiyan was going to do.
"Awesome, awesome, find some gold!"
...
Inhaling the smoky air of the dingy internet cafe, Li Zhiyan logged into his QQ account.
With some trepidation, he began searching for Su Mgch\'s QQ number.
Li Zhiyan remembered that Su Mgch\'s QQ number was giv to her by Sh Rongfei.
He wondered, who was the currt owner of this QQ number—Su Mgch or Sh Rongfei?
Would getting to know her early cause any butterfly effect?
After clicking search, the familiar QQ number appeared, found by Li Zhiyan.
He clicked on the option to add a frid.
Feeling somewhat lost, Li Zhiyan hesitated.
"Hello."
Finally, he typed out two words and st the frid request.
