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

Chapter 463 The Beginning of Everything (Zhao Ran's Side Story 1)

Yu Ran met Chen Zhao when he was in a very sorry state.

His mother has been mentally unstable ever since she was kicked out by his father.

That dodder-like woman lost her support and never recovered.

Yu Ran was frustrated and disappointed, but didn't know what to do.

And that's when his nightmare began.

The young master, who was once living a life of luxury, was forced to return to the dilapidated countryside.

What he found even more unbearable was that he was clearly a boy, yet a woman had dressed him in a little skirt.

Yu Ran had considered resisting, but all she got in return was the woman's increasingly severe beatings.

His gentle grandmother hobbled up to protect him, but she also had to endure the woman's hysteria and indiscriminate beatings along with him.

He knew his mother was sick, so why did she take her anger out on him?

His grandmother hugged him and cried, and he hugged his grandmother and cried too.

Over time, Yu Ran stopped resisting and even started to look forward to it.

Because his mother only smiled gently at him when she was braiding his hair.

It felt like he was back in his childhood, when his mother was such a gentle person.

I would tell him stories and make him snacks.

When did it start to change?

It probably started when his mother discovered his father's infidelity.

The once gentle woman became hysterical, unreasonable, smashing things and screaming like a madwoman.

She tried hard to win back the man's heart, but he cruelly abandoned her.

He embraced his younger and prettier "true love," discarding his wife who had stood by him through thick and thin as if she were worthless.

With nowhere to go, his mother silently took him back to his maternal grandmother's house in the countryside.

Grandma was getting old and her health was failing, so the young master, who had originally lived a life of luxury, took on the responsibility of taking care of his mother and grandma.

At an age when other children are enjoying being pampered in their mothers' arms, Yu Ran has already learned to stand on a stool and cook on the stove.

He cleaned and tidied the little house.

Grandpa Chen next door is a very nice person, but he doesn't fit in with the rest of the village.

His yard was always clean and tidy, with gardenias growing in abundance within the wooden fence.

When the flowers bloom, you can smell their refreshing fragrance from afar.

Grandpa Chen is very gentle and a very kind person.

He also kept a yellow Chinese rural dog named Sprite.

He would always smile and tell others that his grandson had given him the name.

He felt sorry for Yu Ran's family, who were both orphans and widows, and always tried to help them out.

That was one of the few moments of warmth Yu Ran had during her childhood.

The village children always called him a "sissy" and a "pervert."

Children's malice is always particularly direct and vicious.

Everyone ostracized him.

Yu Ran didn't care; he just wanted to do his own thing.

But there are always people who are eager to cause trouble.

That day was a bright and sunny day.

On his way home carrying the bok choy he had just picked from the field, Grandpa Chen waved to him with a smile and gave him a pot of gardenias.

Yu Ran was somewhat surprised, because it was the first time Grandpa Chen had ever given someone gardenias.

He treasured those flowers like the back of his hand, and he never gave them to anyone who came to ask for them back.

Grandpa Chen just smiled and patted his head. "I've seen you leaning on the fence for days. These are seedlings that were just delivered a few days ago. I thought they would die, but they survived after I moved them into a pot. So I'll give them to Xiao Ran."

The old man's eyes were filled with pity as he pointed to the gardenia buds that were about to bloom. "Xiao Ran, you should be like this gardenia, happy and strong."

Yu Ran hugged the small pot of gardenias and nodded heavily.

On his way home, he was ambushed by several people.

Looking at the boys in front of her, Yu Ran, holding the flowers, wanted to walk past them, not wanting to argue with them, but was pushed by someone.

Without realizing it, he stumbled and fell to the ground while trying to protect the flowers in his arms.

The people blocking the way clearly didn't expect that their push would send someone crashing to the ground.

But remembering how arrogant Yu Ran had ignored them just now, the chubby boy in the lead raised his chin and said, "Hey, sissy, how did you get Grandpa Chen to give you the flowers?"

Grandpa Chen's flowers are beautiful and fragrant, and all the children in the village love them, but the old man never shares them with anyone else.

Yu Ran glanced at them coldly, stood up, dusted himself off, and turned to leave with the flowers in his arms.

Ignored, the chubby boy reached out to grab Yu Ran's hand, trying to snatch the flowers from him.

Yu Ran's eyes narrowed as he considered whether to kick him.

Another voice came first, "Hey, what are you doing?"

A figure ran over and blocked Yu Ran's path, panting slightly, "How can you bully people like this? I'll tell your parents!"

Children are naturally afraid of being told off by their parents, and knowing they were in the wrong, they snorted and turned to leave with their two younger brothers.

However, his steps were somewhat hurried and disheveled.

Yu Ran was happy to avoid trouble, so he thanked him in a low voice and turned to leave.

The man grabbed Yu Ran's arm first, grinned with a silly-looking set of white teeth, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Little sister, my name is Chen Zhao, what's your name?"

Yu Ran glanced at him but didn't intend to pay him any attention.

Chen Zhao saw something and excitedly waved behind Yu Ran, "Grandpa!"

Yu Ran turned her head and saw Grandpa Chen walking briskly towards her.

He looked at Chen Zhao, lowered his eyes, and hugged the flowers in his hands tightly. So, this is Grandpa Chen's grandson?

Chen Zhao released Yu Ran and immediately pounced on Grandpa Chen.

Grandpa Chen's steps were unsteady, but he still managed to hug the child. He stroked Chen Zhao's head and said happily, "Little Zhao has grown up again. Next year, Grandpa won't be able to carry you anymore."

Later, Chen's father, carrying a suitcase, followed behind and said, "Dad, you just spoil him."

Grandpa Chen was still all smiles. "Xiao Zhao is such a good boy, who else would I love more than him? Besides, it's rare for you to come back."

Mr. Chen shook his head helplessly. "I'll put the things in first. Chen Zhao, be a good boy."

After saying that, Mr. Chen walked towards the courtyard.

Chen Zhao made a face at his back and then pouted at Grandpa Chen, "Grandpa, what did I do wrong? I just did a good deed and saved a little girl who was being bullied, didn't I? Little girl... sigh, where is she?"

Chen Zhao looked back, but there was no one there.

Grandpa Chen was taken aback. "Sister?"

Then she realized, "You mean Xiao Ran (Lan)? She's a pitiful child, but she's kind-hearted. She's a loner and doesn't have many friends."

Because Grandpa Chen couldn't distinguish between rl, Chen Zhao automatically heard it as Xiao Lan.

Chen Zhao also learned that the pretty girl's name was Xiao Lan.

I remembered my younger sister whom I had just met. She was fair-skinned and soft, wearing a pink dress and with pretty braids. She looked like a princess. I never imagined she would end up in such a miserable state.

Chen Zhao was suddenly filled with a sense of heroic ambition; he had just rescued a damsel in distress.

So, is that pretty girl going to offer herself to him?

Thanks to Chen's father's love for martial arts novels, he often enjoyed listening to audiobooks at home, which often featured scenes of heroes rescuing damsels in distress.

Chen Zhao naturally thought of this as well.

Thinking about how the pretty girl from earlier would marry him in the future, Chen Zhao secretly blushed.

"I will be friends with Little Blue Sister, and I will protect her," the little boy promised, patting his chest.

Grandpa Chen chuckled and didn't think much of it. He figured it would be good for his grandson to have a playmate, so he just smiled and patted Chen Zhao's head. "Okay, then Xiao Zhao, you have to protect your friends."

Chen Zhao nodded. "Of course."

That's his future wife!

The little boy thought this to himself.

Amidst the cicadas' chirping in the height of summer, this was Yu Ran and Chen Zhao's first encounter.
