Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Zhou Rang decided to stay there temporarily, and Yan Zhen gave up his rough cane and bought an electric wheelchair online, asking Uncle Hui, who was going out to sea, to bring it back.

As she assembled the wheelchair, Zhou Rang watched from the side: "I don't go out, so buying a wheelchair is a bit of a waste."

Yan Zhen waved the screwdriver in his hand: "It's not that you don't go out or don't need a wheelchair, it's that the lack of a wheelchair restricts your ability to go out. Once you use it, you'll know how convenient this thing is."

That evening, as the sun was setting, Yan Zhen pushed Zhou Rang out in a wheelchair and strolled along the pedestrian walkway built along the seaside.

This was the first time Zhou Rang had seen a sunset on Yudao Island.

The setting sun resembled a salted egg yolk hanging on the horizon. The sea and sky in the distance almost merged into one in the scorching, intense golden-red hue. Seabirds flew continuously over the beach. Facing the salty sea breeze and the sound of the waves, Zhou Rang's mood strangely calmed down.

He suddenly understood the mindset of those who retreated to the countryside.

Staying in such a secluded corner, there is no tedious work, no stressful power struggles, no backstabbing or deceit, and no fear of being schemed against, deceived, or even killed...

It really makes you want to lie down here and live your whole life.

"How is it? Comfortable, right?" Yan Zhen, pushing the wheelchair behind me, said, "In the first few days after I arrived, I would come here every evening to walk along this path, feel the sea breeze, and listen to the seagulls sing. When I got back, I would be bursting with inspiration, and my work efficiency would improve."

"Yes, it's very comfortable," Zhou Rang said, then a question came to mind, "You're not a local, so why did you come here to live in seclusion?"

Yan Zhen paused for a moment, and her wheelchair stopped as well, but quickly returned to normal. She stammered, "I just... I feel that social interactions outside are too annoying and tiring, and I want to find a place where no one knows me to stay for a while."

She was unwilling to elaborate, and Zhou Rang didn't press her, only asking, "Will you go back later?"

"Yes." Yan Zhen smiled bitterly. "I can only stay here and be a coward for a while. It's shameful to run away, but it's useful."

Zhou Rang smiled.

The two strolled around until the sun had completely set before heading back.

When they arrived at the house, Yan Zhen remembered that they were out of salt, so he said, "You go back first, I'll go to the convenience store to buy a bag of salt."

"it is good."

When Yan Zhen arrived at the convenience store, he bought salt and some snacks. While the shopkeeper was giving him change, two elderly ladies sat on bamboo chairs, chatting and eating sunflower seeds.

Yan Zhen overheard it.

"How many people are here?"

"I think it was four or five, but it was dark so I couldn't see clearly. They were all tall, big men, and they didn't look like tourists."

"What else would you do if you came to our place for tourism?"

"Who knows? Maybe they're here to catch long-lived turtles. The government banned fishing for long-lived turtles a few years ago..."

Yan Zhen paused for a moment upon hearing this, then casually inquired, "Grandma, have outsiders come to the island?"

"Yes," the old lady said, "several came, and they looked quite wealthy."

Yan Zhen feigned interest: "How did you figure that out?"

"They came by speedboat." The old lady raised her chin, gesturing for her to look at the small dock in the distance. "Look, the speedboat is still moored there."

Yan Zhen squinted and, by the light of the dock, saw a speedboat moored there.

Combining the old lady's description of "four or five tall, big men," she immediately realized that these people were looking for Zhou Rang!

Her mind raced. In the original story, Su Er rescued Zhou Rang on the fishing island. During Zhou Rang's recovery, the two developed feelings for each other and spent a passionate and fiery time together on the island.

Although tourists occasionally came to the island, apart from one clueless girl who tried to flirt with Zhou Rang and was severely reprimanded by Su Er, which became a catalyst for their relationship, no one else disturbed them.

The only variable compared to the original work is the phone call Zhou Rang made some time ago.

The group that wanted to kill him might have located him directly here based on his phone number.

Upon realizing this, Yan Zhen abandoned his change and turned to run home as fast as he could.

As she approached the houses, she saw four or five men knocking on the door of a house not far away—they were searching house by house.

The next household will be theirs.

Yan Zhen didn't dare to delay and quickly went inside, locking the door behind him.

Zhou Rang was washing vegetables in the kitchen when he heard her come in. Without turning his head, he said, "The vinegar is almost gone. You can go to the convenience store next time..."

“Brother Zhao!” Yan Zhen grabbed his arm and lowered his voice, “Someone has come to the island, probably looking for you.”

Zhou Rang's expression instantly turned serious: "How many people?"

“Four or five of them. They’re searching house by house. They’ve already reached Aunt Liu’s house next door.” Yan Zhen asked, “Are they your family members or…”

“The visitor is up to no good.” Zhou Rang immediately turned off the tap and the stove, grabbed a towel and wiped his hands haphazardly. He went to the second bedroom, cautiously lifted the curtains and looked out. From there, he could see the neighbor’s house.

Several men were just coming out of Aunt Liu's house and approaching their location.

Zhou Rang narrowed his eyes and quickly glanced around. He was about to take Yan Zhen out through the back door and leave when he turned around and found that Yan Zhen was gone.

Zhou Rang's heart tightened: "Miss Ming?"

"Miss Ming?"

"Ming Yiwei!"

"I'm here." Yan Zhen's voice came from the direction of the master bedroom. "Brother Zhao, come over quickly."

When Zhou Rang entered the master bedroom, Yan Zhen lifted the wooden floorboards to reveal a place that resembled a basement: "Quick, go in and hide for a while, and come out after they leave."

Zhou Rang didn't hesitate and quickly walked over and stepped into the basement. When he looked up, he saw that Yan Zhen didn't seem to be coming down. He asked, "Aren't you coming down?"

"The kitchen is still warm, and it's more suspicious that no one is home. I'll deal with them upstairs. Don't worry, they don't know me, they'll leave after searching me."

As she was about to cover the wooden floor, Zhou Rang quickly grabbed her arm: "What if they find me?"

Without a doubt, staying up there would only mean certain death for her.

Yan Zhen paused, a hint of struggle flashing in his eyes, then quickly pushed him into the basement: "No, I'll handle it. You hide well."

Zhou Rang gripped her hand tightly: "We'll hide together!"

Before Yan Zhen could answer, a rude knock came from outside: "Hey! Open the door!"

Zhou Rang gritted his teeth, grabbed Yan Zhen's waist, and carried her into the basement without saying a word. With a soft "smack," the wooden floor quickly covered her head.

Once inside the "basement," Yan Zhen discovered that the place was much smaller than she had imagined. Not only was it cramped, but Zhou Rang, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, couldn't even stand up straight. The two of them could only face each other and were almost forced to "hug" each other.

The basement was dimly lit and the visibility was poor, which made the sense of touch even clearer.

Their bodies were pressed together, their breaths mingling in close proximity, and Zhou Rang's whole body involuntarily tensed up.

The person outside knocked a few times without getting a response, so they simply kicked the door open and came in.
