Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 468 The Beginning of Everything (Zhao Ran's Side Story 6)

When they left the orange grove, Yu Ran looked at Chen Zhao, who was surrounded by his family, who were asking him how he was doing. His bruised face had a helpless smile on it, but he let the gentle woman turn him around and look him up and down.

Yu Ran knew that it was Chen Zhao's mother.

He had seen it.

She is a very gentle person.

Their family was so happy together, which only made Yu Ran's loneliness all the more apparent.

After being questioned, Chen Zhao was released. He turned his head and looked at Yu Ran, who was hanging his head and had no one by his side, and strode over.

"Yu Ran, my parents want to thank you. Let's go out for dinner together."

Yu Ran suddenly looked up, his gaze falling on the group of people opposite him. The woman's eyes were gentle, the man's eyes were filled with gratitude, and even the girl's eyes were sparkling with admiration.

They are gentle and kind, people born in the sunshine.

I feel out of place.

He clenched his fists, suddenly feeling exposed and somewhat at a loss in the face of their kindness.

Looking at Chen Zhao's smiling face, he suddenly took a step back, his voice cold and strained, "No need, just consider it my good deed for the day."

After saying that, he turned and left, but his hurried steps always seemed to indicate that he was fleeing in panic.

Chen Zhao wanted to chase after him, but in the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared.

He scratched his head, unable to understand the man's thoughts.

Looking at Yu Ran's back, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to see him again.

Yu Ran had also pondered why he was so cowardly, searching for Chen Zhao for so long, yet so easily fleeing in defeat.

We met again at the school's opening ceremony.

Yu Ran delivered a speech as a representative of the new students.

He is this year's top scorer.

Chen Zhao stood below the stage, looking at the person giving the speech. He hadn't expected to see this person so soon.

Yu Ran is good-looking and has excellent grades. In the monotonous study life, such a person is simply a star.

After the opening ceremony ended, several girls had already surrounded him.

Yu Ran frowned, somewhat impatient, and was about to ask someone to move aside when someone went against the flow of people and accurately grabbed his wrist from behind, their face obscured.

His hand moved instinctively, gripping the man's wrist. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and in an instant, he displayed the ruthlessness he usually displayed when fighting.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Be gentle, be gentle!"

The familiar voice made Yu Ran pause for a moment, and he loosened his grip.

Chen Zhao's smile twisted as she rubbed her wrist, glaring at Yu Ran with a resentful look. "It's been so long, why are you still so fierce?"

Whether it's due to the Chen family's genes or not, Chen Zhao was extremely fair-skinned, and a finger mark was already left on his wrist after just one pinch.

It's reddish-green, and looks a bit scary.

Yu Ran pursed his lips, not answering Chen Zhao's question, but his expression grew colder and more somber.

The girls who were chattering away just moments ago are now too afraid to speak.

He knew how strong Chen Zhao was, so he stepped forward, grabbed Chen Zhao's hand, and led him straight outside.

Chen Zhao stumbled as she was pulled, but quickly caught up, asking with some confusion, "Yu Ran, where are you taking me?"

Yu Ran pursed her lips, said nothing, and pulled the person forward.

He only released Chen Zhao when they reached the door of the infirmary.

Chen Zhao looked at the sign for the infirmary above his head and rubbed his wrist. "Isn't this a bit much? It's just a small injury. My constitution is like this, and so is my sister's. She just inherited my mother's fair skin. It's not a big deal, but it looks serious. We really don't need to get medicine. Let's hurry back, or we'll be late for class."

With that, Chen Zhao shook his hand casually and made a move to pull Yu Ran away.

Yu Ran didn't say anything, but gently grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the doorway.

Sitting on the small bed in the infirmary, watching Yu Ran pour safflower oil onto his hands and quickly rub them together, Chen Zhao couldn't help but tease, "Yu Ran, you look so skilled at this!"

The pig-like screams echoed through the sky.

The birds outside the window were startled and trembled.

After warming the safflower oil in his palms, Yu Ran ruthlessly pushed away the unsightly bruises on that fair wrist.

Only after the accumulated blue grime dispersed did he relax a bit, put the safflower oil back on, and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

Chen Zhao was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. She clutched her wrist with teary eyes, looking like a pitiful little bullied person.

"You're going to apply the medicine, but couldn't you have told me beforehand? It really hurts!"

Yu Ran remained indifferent, washing his hands with his eyes lowered. "Didn't you just say everything was fine?"

He turned around, looking down at Chen Zhao, only to meet her accusing gaze. Her misty eyes, filled with tears, looked clear and beautiful.

The next sarcastic remark stuck in his throat, then vanished completely. He looked away uncomfortably, his Adam's apple bobbing, his ears turning bright red.

He casually flicked the water droplets off his hands, but ended up smearing them all over Chen Zhao's face.

Enraged, Chen Zhao jumped off the bed and lunged at the person, shouting, "Yu Ran!"

It bared its teeth and claws, like a harmless little kitten.

Yu Ran stepped back, avoiding Chen Zhao's lunge, and touched the tip of his nose. "Sorry."

The boy lowered his eyes, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked rather well-behaved, unlike the unruly boy he seemed at first glance.

Very nice.

Chen Zhao couldn't think of any sophisticated adjectives; if he really had to say, he would probably describe them as having "picture-like features."

Without his fierce aura, Yu Ran is now like this, with beautiful features.

The fire that had been rising in Chen Zhao's heart suddenly went out. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, why should I argue with a silent person like you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Ran smiled and tilted his head slightly, "Then thank you very much for your magnanimity, Young Master Chen."

Chen Zhao, flattered to the point of arrogance, crossed his arms, raised his chin, and truly adopted the airs of a young master. "That's right!"

Like a proud little kitten.

The boy looked at the cat, a faint smile playing on his lips, a smile he himself was unaware of—a smile that revealed the boy's budding affection.

In the long years that followed, filled with unrequited love, Yu Ran would sometimes wonder when he had started to fall for that idiot.

I couldn't figure out this problem for a long time afterward.

Later, Chen Zhao asked him why he had liked him for so many years.

Yu Ran couldn't answer either.

As they spent each day inseparable, they could no longer look away.

That boy, who was born to be radiant, occupied the rest of Yu Ran's life.

They spent the most important three years together and got into University A together.

They live in the same dormitory.

The same company.

At Gu Yao and Xie Gui's wedding, watching them finally become a couple, and making their most solemn vows in the dignified ceremony.

Yu Ran, who is usually calm and restrained, indulged himself and drank until he was completely drunk.

He suddenly understood.

He wanted to let go.

too tired.

They are not young anymore, and they are considered successful in their careers. Chen Zhao has complained many times about his mother pressuring him to get married.

It seems like people are going on blind dates when they go home for the Chinese New Year.

Yu Ran didn't dare to listen any further.

He will never find a home.

By the time Chen Zhao found him, Yu Ran was already completely drunk and unconscious.

He tried to help Yu Ran walk away, but Yu Ran seemed to have no bones, and she pressed herself against him.

Chen Zhao felt somewhat helpless; being allergic to alcohol and unable to drink meant he was destined to be a hard worker.

He picked Yu Ran up and carried her towards the nearest resort for the wedding.
