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

The assistant knocked on the door at 10 a.m. the next day.

Several people stood behind him, each holding a huge box.

The assistant gestured for these people to hand the items in.

He proudly puffed out his chest at his boss: "As soon as I received your call this morning, I immediately set out and ransacked every gold shop that was open—I carefully selected them all."

"But why are you asking me to buy so much? Gold prices are going to go up again?" The assistant fiddled with his fingers, his expression eager. "Should I buy some too?"

“…” Ikeno said, “I’ll give you a raise.”

The assistant cheered, raising his arms: "You are the best boss in the world! May you go further and further on your road to wealth!"

Ikeno paused in closing the door, then said, "Change it."

"Huh?" the assistant asked, confused.

“Let’s change the blessing,” Chi Ye said casually. “What are some good blessings for marriage?”

"Huh? You're getting married?!"

Ikeno calmly nodded slightly to him, then closed the door and saw him out.

Ten minutes later, the news that Ikeno was getting married spread throughout the company.

Twenty minutes later, Ikeno received a message from his father.

Chairman Chi: "?"

cyy: "?"

Chairman Chi: "?"

cyy: "".

Chairman Chi: "".

Wen Ying watched from the side, completely bewildered: "Are you two speaking in riddles?"

Why is everyone only posting punctuation marks?

Ikeno explained, "He asked me if the rumors were true. I asked what the rumors were, and he said you're getting married. I said yes, and he said he understood."

Wen Ying: "..."

She exclaimed, "No wonder your company has grown so big and strong. The language used by your core members is encrypted, and ordinary people can't tell at all."

Ikeno said, "We rarely communicate. Perhaps the news that I want to get married is a bit shocking, which is why he took the initiative to ask. In my father's opinion, I will choose to remain single for the rest of my life."

Wen Ying couldn't understand why Chi Ye's father would think that way; most parents should be full of expectations for their children's future.

She had a guess in her mind, and took Chi Ye's hand: "What about your mother? She will bless you, right?"

Ikeno lowered his head, circled her fingers, and measured their circumference.

"Maybe so, but she's long gone."

Chi Ye's tone was flat, and the things he mentioned in a calm manner failed to move him.

Perhaps he had grieved for his mother's passing, but as time passed, he was driven by more and more things and could no longer stay in one place.

"Only my father remained where he was; everyone else has been forgotten."

Ikeno's father met his lover when he was twenty-five. She was a woman from a poor background, but she was resilient and optimistic.

A person in a high position underestimates an irresistible attraction, and two seemingly incompatible people fall in love.

He married her when he was twenty-seven. At the press conference, he was full of pride and said arrogantly, "Only strong families can survive in this world by joining forces, but the Chi family has never needed to form alliances."

Perhaps recklessness always comes at a price, or perhaps there are just too many unexpected events in this world. They enjoyed two years of sweet marriage and had a child who resembled both the mother and the father.

But shortly after his child was born, an accident caused him to lose his beloved forever.

He was overwhelmed with grief, his temples began to turn gray, and he could only numb himself with work, thus neglecting his infant child.

"...Then who will take care of you?" Wen Ying asked.

“When I was a child, we had a housekeeper and a nanny at home, and I lived with them. I also lived at Ji Yu’s house for a while—his mother was a friend of my mother’s. But after Ji Yu was born, it was no longer appropriate for me to live there.”

This was the first time Ikeno had recalled so much from beginning to end: "But it wasn't like I didn't see my father every year; he would occasionally show up."

On the anniversary of his mother's death when he was thirteen, he and his father sat silently at opposite ends of the long dining table.

The father dismissed everyone, opened a bottle of red wine, and placed a glass in front of Ikeno.

"Ikeno, the boy, said, "I'm not old enough to be allowed to drink."

Suddenly, her father smiled, and Ikeno felt a momentary jolt, picking up her wine glass.

He took a small sip, and the sour and bitter taste spread in his mouth. Despite it being a low concentration of alcohol, he felt extremely dizzy.

The world spun around him, and he saw his father crying.

Chino hesitated, preparing to take a second sip, when his father came over and smashed his glass.

"I'm sorry." He heard this relative, whom he had only met a few times, apologize to him. "You are her keepsake, I shouldn't have..."

The father poured out the other glass of wine, muttered to himself, and walked away.

"..."

Wen Ying's eyes trembled, and after a long while, she looked at Chi Ye's face.

He always thought his father simply didn't love him, but he never imagined...

“I don’t know what thought came over him, but he let me go,” Chi Ye said. “Maybe it was her spirit that appeared and saved my life.”

Ikeno turned around, his voice as calm as ever, as if he had just recounted someone else's story.

He reached out and wiped away Wen Ying's tears: "Don't be sad about the past, because I never cared."

Wen Ying could no longer bear it, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his chest.

Her shoulders shrugged: "I used to think that a person's past didn't matter. What's done is done, and there's no point in going back to the source. The only thing to do is to mend the rift now..."

Wen Ying's past remains in a small room, without any dramatic ups and downs, nor any profound pain or love, like wandering alone in the fog, unable to see the way forward or the end.

Lying on her bed in the bedroom, in the instant before her consciousness faded, Wen Ying felt a sense of peace, as if she were being liberated.

But the system found her and, disregarding Wen Ying's strong desire to die, pretended not to hear and threw her into another world.

Wen Ying once complained about the system's unreasonableness and treated the tasks issued by the system with a self-destructive attitude.

She once thought she couldn't save Ikeno.

Even if she has the so-called script of redemption, what good is it? Wen Ying doesn't have any great power to begin with; she can't even save herself, let alone go to great lengths to save others.

There was only sympathy, not affection.

This should be the final ending for Wen Ying and Chi Ye.

"...But now, I can't help but feel sad, because you are the person in the story."

Wen Ying cried bitterly, her heart was very close to Chi Ye's, and she understood the meaning of love in her heart-wrenching pain.

Chino smiled easily, gently stroking her hair to offer the most silent comfort.

“Don’t be afraid,” he said. “As long as you are by my side now, the past me will not be unhappy.”

A week later, Wen Ying boarded a plane to her parents' house again, with Chi Ye accompanying her.

"So... that time before, you really just wanted to go home?"

“Yeah, I sent you a screenshot of my plane ticket, and I even called my mom the night before I went home.” Wen Ying turned to scrutinize him. “Didn’t you claim to be able to hear everything? How come you overlooked something?”

Chiye: "..."

The assistant found out that Mingming had no relatives or friends, so he assumed that Wen Ying had hired actors.

Although I don't know how she suddenly gained another pair of parents, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

In this world, Wen Ying is able to receive a great deal of love.

Ikeno wanted to hold her hand, but the seats were too far apart, and he couldn't reach her at all.

He withdrew his hand, looking rather frustrated: "I thought at the time... you were just planning to leave me."

That's why they urgently tied him up and took him home, even using chains.

Upon hearing the word "leave," Wen Ying couldn't help but say, "Of course I won't leave you! I'll stay and be with you. If you don't believe me after I say it once, I'll promise you it every day. I'll become a broken record, how about that?"

Chi Ye lowered her head and curled the corners of her lips: "But you have other people you care about in this world, and you'll want to be with them in the future, right?"

He echoed what she had said at school: "You said you wanted to set aside some time for friends and family."

Wen Ying: "Then I'll bring you along, and you should also set aside some time for my friends and family."

Chino then reluctantly agreed: "Okay, then I'll go home with you now."

Speaking of going home...

Wen Ying leaned closer to him and lowered her voice: "Actually, my life was also in danger this time."

Chiye: "?"

Wen Ying: "My parents were created by the system before it left. I had never spoken to them before."

Chiye: "!"

Wen Ying spread her hands: "That's great, it's my first time meeting my parents, and I'm even bringing my boyfriend."

Chiye: "..."

He straightened his clothes, his gaze firm and serious, and sat up straight.

"So you're already paying attention to your appearance? We still have an hour's flight to go," Wen Ying said.

Ikeno said, "I'm afraid of wrinkling my clothes by sitting on them and leaving a sloppy impression."

Wen Ying: "..." I couldn't help but smile. There was no need to be so strict.

but……

She glanced to her side at the person who was still meticulously examining the wrinkles in their clothes.

So this is what it feels like to have someone by your side.

A steady stream of warmth flowed into her chest, bringing Wenying peace and composure.

The moment their eyes met, Wen Ying felt as if she had escaped from the cramped room.

The safest island in her heart was clearly Ikeno's eyes.
