Quick Transmigration: Let Me Tell You, I'm a Social Anxiety Person

Stepping out of the car and standing in the sunlight, Wen Ying felt a little unreal for a second, and looked up to take another look at the somewhat dazzling light.

Wen Ying snapped out of her daze as Chi Ye took her hand, which had been hanging by her side, and grasped his trembling fingers in return.

As she entered the hospital, the lobby was bustling with people. She made her way up to the VIP ward on the top floor. Underneath her wide sleeves, no one knew that she was wearing a metal bracelet on her wrist.

It's a GPS tracker. Chino put it on her when she went out. Its rounded shape inevitably reminds people of prisoners wearing shackles in jail.

Chi Ye's hands trembled as he switched on the locator. He looked up at Wen Ying with a complex and disordered expression, as if he was hiding many kinds of emotions. Wen Ying accepted them one by one, touched his eyebrows and said, "It's okay."

The secretary was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Chi Ye from afar, she came forward to greet him: "The chairman has woken up. You may go in now."

The secretary's gaze shifted to Wen Ying, who was standing to the side, her expression slightly hesitant.

"Then... I'll wait for you outside?" Wen Ying said.

Ikeno said "no need," but still held her hand and led her inside.

A middle-aged man lay on the hospital bed, his face already streaked with white hair. When he saw Chi Ye enter, he didn't even look up, but simply said indifferently, "We've already hired a caregiver, what are you doing here?"

Chi Ye's tone was also calm: "It will be reported in the newspapers."

Chi's father said, "You care what others say about you?"

Ikeno said, "I don't care, but the stock price will drop, so I'm just here to make an appearance."

Both of them remained calm and unperturbed throughout the exchange.

Only Wen Ying stood awkwardly to the side, finding the way the father and son interacted strange.

Chi's father said, "I'm fine, you can go now." Then he turned his face away and closed his eyes.

Chi Ye calmly hummed in agreement, took Wen Ying's hand (who was still in a daze), and walked out of the ward.

"..." Wen Ying suspected that her trip with Chi Ye was just a formality. Chi Ye's father didn't even glance at Chi Ye, let alone notice her.

She asked, "Are we just going back like this?"

Chi Ye: "Hmm, do you want to stay outside a little longer?" His gaze was fixed on Wen Ying's expression, as if if she hesitated for even a second longer, his heart would explode and he would end up in the ICU.

Wen Ying said, "I don't want to."

She was telling the truth; she hadn't had time to wear a mask and hat when she went out, and the increasingly crowded people had made her feel uncomfortable.

She grabbed Ikeno's sleeve: "Let's go home now."

Chi Ye's expression softened, and he looked at Wen Ying with a slight smile. It was a faint smile, but it was interrupted by a gasp from not far away.

"Senior!" Someone jumped up from their seat and ran to Wen Ying in the blink of an eye, revealing an incredibly bright smile.

Xu Che didn't notice Wen Ying's sudden stiffness, and then turned to Chi Ye with a cheerful expression: "Oh, what a coincidence, senior is here too?"

Wen Ying turned her head and saw Chi Ye nodding calmly to Xu Che, saying, "It's quite a coincidence, you're sick?"

His words were very natural, as if he cared a lot about the younger generation, but in reality, the hand he was holding Wen Ying's was tense.

Xu Che scratched his head: "It wasn't me, it was my roommate. He got a bunch of mushrooms from somewhere and cooked them in the dorm. He ended up getting poisoned, and my pot was confiscated."

Wen Ying thought to herself that this was quite a coincidence, as Lu Xi had also been poisoned by mushrooms. The next second, Xu Che looked over expectantly.

"Senior, I heard that one of your roommates was also poisoned. How is she now? How long did it take for her to regain her senses? My roommate still owes me 500 yuan, and I'm so afraid he'll go crazy."

Wen Ying: "..." Just what I wished for came true.

When people feel awkward, they start making small movements. Wen Ying couldn't help but fidget with the hem of her clothes. Before she could think of how to start the conversation, Xu Che exclaimed in surprise, "Eh!"

"Senior, your bracelet has such a unique design!" Xu Che said, his eyes lighting up. "Is it a new Cartier design? It's so stylish."

"..." Wen Ying quickly pulled down her sleeves, smiled kindly at Xu Che, and said, "I don't know either. I just bought it from a roadside stall. If you're interested, you can go and take a look around the streets."

“Oh…” Xu Che blinked, “Then…”

Wen Ying continued, "Your roommate who was poisoned will recover in two or three days with IV drips. Don't worry about his intelligence, because there is a precedent. My friend recovered and his mind was full of inspiration. He finished writing his thesis in three days."

Xu Che finished speaking in one breath without pausing, his expression blank. He stared blankly as Wen Ying pulled Chi Ye away, still standing there muttering, "That's not what I wanted to ask..."

"I want to ask if I can withdraw from the program recommended by the senior student? I really don't want to study in Germany! I'll not be able to graduate!"

On the way home, Ikeno was in a much better mood.

Wen Ying guessed that it was because she had deliberately refused to talk to others, and therefore breathed a sigh of relief.

Ikeno should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

But in the middle of the night, the furry head came closer again. Chi Ye held her wrist to feel her pulse, pressed his lips against her neck, and enveloped her in a deluge of kisses.

He seemed to have suddenly gone into a fit of hysteria in his sleep; his eyes were red from the intense kisses, and he spoke incoherently and intermittently, "Don't go, don't abandon me."

Wen Ying hugged his tense back, feeling helpless amidst his repeated promises. No matter how earnestly she said things like "I will never leave you," the doubt in Chi Ye's eyes remained undiminished.

It was truly heartbreaking that Ikeno didn't seem to believe in her feelings.

A few days later, Wen Ying said goodbye to the thing hanging on her wrist, and Chi Ye began to allow her to move freely in the room.

The pressure on her wrist completely disappeared. Ikeno held her hand, gazing at the slightly reddened skin, and quietly looked at it for a long time.

He kissed Wen Ying's wrist, a kiss that might have been a sign of shame, a surge of guilt and an uncontrollable urge to control him, a contradiction that he couldn't escape.

Wen Ying moved her slightly numb arm, which felt a little awkward, but she considered herself quite magnanimous, so she gave Chi Ye a way out.

"Find me a laptop with internet access, I want to write my thesis." She emphasized the word "internet access," adding, "I need internet access to look up information."

Chino agreed and soon had a brand-new computer delivered. In the past few days, he also ordered two large desks, which were placed rather incongruously in the bedroom.

Wen Ying felt that the disharmony came from the golden cage by the bed, which, together with the chain on her ankle, gave off the vibe of a couple's suite.

It doesn't fit with an academic atmosphere at all.
