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

Feeling a bit guilty, Chen Zhao subconsciously pursed his lips, but a sharp pain brought him back to his senses, which were on the verge of collapse.

At this moment, I was only one step away from the bed.

For the remaining fuel, it is even more readily available.

Chen Zhao stared intently at Yu Ran, his face paling.

Like an enemy!

Like waking from a dream!

He rushed into the bathroom and quickly locked the door.

He leaned against the door, and in the mirror directly in front of him was his flushed face.

She looked like she was in the throes of first love.

He looked down and gave a bitter smile.

He actually looked at his own brother's face...

Chen Zhao wanted to wait for the pain to subside naturally, but the image of Yu Ran's tearful eyes and reddened corners of her eyes lingered in his mind...

Even the red mole on the tip of the nose...

It's all so alluring.

The fire did not subside; instead, it grew even stronger.

Each time he recalls it, a little more of Yu Ran's character is revealed.

Scars on the collarbone

Two small moles on the back of the neck...

Stroke after stroke, outlining the complete afterglow.

Chen Zhao pursed his lips, his eyes bloodshot...

Separated by a glass door.

All I could see was Yu Ran's image.

He reached the pinnacle.

The heavy breathing paused for a moment.

Then came a long, deathly silence.

Suddenly, it seems like something has completely changed.

Chen Zhao sat blankly on the cold tiles of the bathroom.

He didn't know what to do.

Whether it was her confession to Yu Ran.

It's still about my own chaotic mind.

And... his own despicable behavior.

Everything seems to be in complete chaos.

Only when there was a knock on the door did Chen Zhao get up unsteadily and walk to the sink to wash his hands.

Cen Yubai stood outside the door, looking at Chen Zhao, who had a bitter expression on his face as if he had suffered a major blow. He looked at him with a questioning gaze, but did not ask any questions. He handed over his phone first.

"Is this yours? Someone found it on the beach and saw it at the front desk."

Chen Zhao lowered his eyes, took the phone, thanked her, and made to close the door. But just as the door was about to close, he suddenly opened it again.

He looked up and stared intently at Cen Yubai, his gaze so intense that Cen Yubai felt a chill run down his spine. He swallowed hard and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Zhao emerged from inside the door, quickly closed it, and reached out to hook Cen Yubai's neck.

As if she had thought of something, her fingertips curled up, but she awkwardly lowered her raised hand and instead patted Cen Yubai's back, "Come on, I'll sleep with you tonight."

Cen Yubai turned his head to look at Chen Zhao, his eyes probing deeper, "Aren't you usually always glued to Yu Ran? What's wrong today? Did you have a fight?"

Chen Zhao's expression stiffened, and he touched the tip of his nose. "No."

Cen Yubai seemed to have sensed something, glanced at the door behind him without making a sound, then stared at Chen Zhao without saying a word.

Behind the thin lenses, a shrewd glint shone, as if one could see right through a person's heart.

Under this probing gaze, Chen Zhao lowered his head inch by inch into his chest, struggling with whether or not to just confess, when he heard the person in front of him suddenly laugh.

"Come on, I'll let you stay for the night."

Looking at the back of the person in front of him, Chen Zhao had a feeling that the fox seemed to have figured something out.

It seemed as if he had overlooked something, yet it flashed by so quickly that he couldn't catch it.

He scratched his head in frustration, then followed after him.

It would be very easy to get another phone delivered to Xie's territory, but Chen Zhao looked at the screen, which was already shattered into pieces. The dark, heavy cracks seemed to be sucking in one's soul.

He sighed and left the phone to rot.

He clearly heard his mother's scream before the phone fell.

She must have seen it.

Chen Zhao lay on the bed, feeling restless and utterly hopeless.

What is this thing called?

What's going on between him and Yu Ran now?

The stinging sensation on his lips lingered. Staring at the ceiling, his thoughts drifted, and he didn't know how much time had passed before he finally fell asleep.

.........

Yu Ran leaned against the railing on the deck, gazing at the boundless sea. The beautiful island gradually became a small dot in his eyes, and finally disappeared into the horizon.

Only when there was no trace of him did Yu Ran withdraw his gaze, and he lowered his eyes unintentionally.

He gave a bitter smile, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the railing. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he turned and went into the cabin.

So be it……

From today onwards, I will give up on this idea.

Gu Yao had been out late with Xie Gui last night, so he was a little surprised when he received Yu Ran's call. He put down the spoon in his hand and asked, "Hey, Yu Ran, what's up?"

Yu Ran lay on the bed, her eyes a little sore, her voice hoarse, "Gu Yao, I'd like to ask for leave."

Gu Yao didn't pay much attention and continued stirring the seafood porridge in the bowl. "Okay, it's almost Chinese New Year anyway, so I'll just consider it an early holiday for you."

He lowered his head, took a sip of his drink, and casually asked, "What's wrong that you need to take leave from?"

Yu Ran raised her hand to cover her eyes, and all that flashed through her mind was Chen Zhao's face.

That face that looked completely helpless when he kissed her.

He pursed his lips, unsure of where to begin, and finally only said, "It may take me a long time to invite you."

Gu Yao also realized that something was wrong.

He paused, put down the spoon in his hand, sat up straight, and asked seriously, "Yu Ran, are you still in your room?"

Yu Ran turned her head to look out the window, her voice somewhat unsteady, "I'm on a cruise ship now."

Gu Yao gripped his phone tightly. "You're gone?"

Yu Ran hummed in agreement, then continued, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just... need to re-evaluate a relationship and get everything back on track." As he said this, he seemed to find it somewhat laughable, letting out a casual chuckle.

A sneer followed, but an overwhelming bitterness was impossible to suppress.

A bitter taste rises from the heart to the tip of the tongue.

The bitterness was so intense that Yu Ran wanted to cry.

It's so painful...

He desperately needs a break.

Gu Yao on the other end of the phone also fell silent; he naturally knew what Yu Ran was talking about.

It's all too obvious that Yu Ran likes Chen Zhao.

Among this group of people, everyone except Chen Zhao knows him.

He didn't know how to comfort her, so he just sighed and said, "Then get some rest and wait for you to come back."

After a pause, Gu Yao added, "Don't keep everything to yourself. Remember to tell us if anything happens. We're your friends too."

Yu Ran's expression stiffened, he nodded, and replied in a low voice, "Okay."

Gu Yao hung up the phone and lost his appetite. He turned his head to talk to Xie Gui about the matter, but when he looked up, he met a pair of eyes that were almost shoved in his face.

Her eyes blinked with curiosity, as if she longed for Gu Yao to say something.

Gu Yao coughed lightly, turned her head to look at Xie Gui, and smiled gently, "Brother Xie, the weather is nice today. How about we go surfing later?"

Blingbling's eyes suddenly dimmed, and Gu Yao caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye. The furry head had drooped down, like a dog that had been abandoned.

Gu Yao smiled, pursed her lips, covered her forehead and sighed softly, "Oh dear, I don't know what's wrong with Yu Ran, he actually asked for leave. A model worker asking for leave, then something serious must have happened. He didn't say what happened, it's really worrying."

The chair scraped against the floor with a screeching sound. Chen Zhao stood up abruptly, his voice trembling slightly, "Yu Ran took leave?"

Gu Yao was startled, nodded, and then raised three fingers, "It's been at least three months."

"Three months?!" Chen Zhao's voice suddenly rose, attracting the attention of the entire restaurant.

Gu Yao couldn't suppress the smile in his eyes. "Yes, three months. He said he was a little tired and wanted to rest."

Chen Zhao suddenly became extremely agitated, grabbed his coat from the back of the chair, and rushed out.

At first he was walking briskly, but when he got to the door, he started running and disappeared from sight in a short while.

Gu Yao smiled, her mood improving slightly, and continued stirring the seafood porridge in her bowl.

Xie Gui placed a small cake in front of Gu Yao, "A Yao, are you trying to set them up?"

Gu Yao paused, his gaze turning towards the outside of the restaurant.

As far as the eye can see, there are beautiful beaches and an endless sea.

His voice was ethereal, tinged with melancholy.

"I just didn't want to upset the person who offered their sincere heart."
