Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 251 - 251: The Gentle Psychiatrist (21)

"If you want to, you can feel free to look around, okay?" Yue Ran suggested.

Cheng Ying was still silent while holding the disposable cup tightly in his hand, but he nodded lightly to Yue Ran to indicate that he understood her words.

"Okay," Yue Ran said smilingly. "Then we shall start today by reading a fairy tale, shall we?"

"Um, yes, okay," Cheng Ying replied.

"Then come on over?" Yue Ran smiled and waved him over.

Cheng Ying felt as if he was being treated like a furry little animal for a moment. He then quickly shook his head to shake off this strange thought and feeling before he silently moved closer to her.

Yue Ran gently covered him with a blanket. Cheng Ying shrank from her actions but accepted the warm blanket nonetheless.

To be honest, the feeling of being cared about by others is really, really good.

It was nice. Very nice.

Without even realizing it, Cheng Ying's heart, which was entangled with layers upon layers of iron chains, had the chains slowly loosened and eroded. A certain someone was using a kind of gentle and arbitrary means to quietly untie and release his defenses. Bit by bit.

…

Cheng Ying never thought that he would accidentally fall asleep in someone else's house. He struggled to get up, feeling especially embarrassed for his actions.

The sky outside the window seemed a little dark. For his sake, Yue Ran had kept the door open, so he could see the flowers and plants in the courtyard and the dim sky at this moment.

Cheng Ying: …?

The young man rubbed his bleary eyes, feeling a little dazed and confused from his sleep. He subconsciously looked for Yue Ran's figure next to him but only found that the sofa was empty, except for him, and it held residual heat.

In an instant, he felt panic in his heart, followed by a full sense of loss.

"Oh, you have woken up," Yue Ran spoke when she walked back into the living room and saw the male protagonist had awakened from his nap. "Are you hungry?"

Yue Ran's voice immediately settled his empty heart, and Cheng Ying relaxed. He could not help but want to get closer to her for no reason.

Although the feeling of loss that he had felt for the reason that he did not see Yue Ran's figure when he had woken up just now had been relieved by her appearance, it still made Cheng Ying feel somewhat unsettled.

Cheng Ying could not help but think that one day Yue Ran might disappear from his life, and that made him subconsciously want to get closer to her and to rely on her more than he already did now.

Right now, Yue Ran had an apron on with her hair tied loosely behind her head. She looked like she had previously cooked in the kitchen, and there was a faint aroma of the ingredients she used for cooking lingering on her hands.

Cheng Ying stared at Yue Ran blankly. His eyes were wet, and he looked particularly aggrieved, like a kicked puppy that was stranded in the middle of the rain after it had found itself abandoned by its owner. So cute and so adorably poor. Yue Ran felt stunned for a moment, and she promptly walked up to him and gently pulled him into her arms.

Because Yue Ran was standing and Cheng Ying was sitting on the sofa, her arms could wrap around the young man's figure just right.

Cheng Ying: !!!

The young man was now just like a frightened and alarmed little rabbit. He could not resist himself from blushing till the tips of his ears went red, but he did not feel sick or uncomfortable because of the intimate behavior enacted by Yue Ran.

However, his heart was beating very quickly, and he was filled with nervousness, shyness, and something unknown. There were even slight feelings of sourness in him.

It was complicated. What was he even feeling?

"Did I scare you? Sorry, I thought you wanted a hug when you had just woken up from your sleep," Yue Ran explained softly.

Yue Ran's tone was a tad bit serious. She let go of Cheng Ying, knelt down to her knees, and looked at him with their eyes leveled with one another. Hers was filled with guilt and self-blame, as if she was really anxious and afraid of scaring him, and that she really did not mean to make him feel uncomfortable.

"No, no, I am not," Cheng Ying answered the young woman's question. "Hug, it is fine… to hug for a while. This is a normal thing, right?"

Cheng Ying scratched the tip of his nose and touched the back of his head in a cautious manner. His eyes were wandering around the surroundings anywhere else other than Yue Ran, and he did not know where to put his hands.

Yue Ran smiled, and her soft laughter made Cheng Ying's nervousness and shyness lessen a lot.

"Of course this is normal," Yue Ran replied.

The young woman took a fairy tale book for the young man and placed it on the coffee table in front of him. She replaced the now-cool milk in the cup with warm water.

"You can read this story first, and I will finish the cooking soon," Yue Ran said. "If there is anything you want or if anything were to happen, you can just ring this bell or call out for me, okay? I will be just right over there inside the kitchen."

Yue Ran took out the bell she brought out of his house and put it on the coffee table beside the cup of warm water for the young man to use at any time.

Cheng Ying nodded slowly at her words, looking especially well-behaved and cute. Yue Ran looked at the young man carefully before turning around and getting back into the kitchen to finish the dinner preparation.
