Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 256 - 256: The Gentle Psychiatrist (26)

As for what Cheng Ying was holding back, it might be his breath, it might be his beating hard, it might be his suppressed emotions, or… just everything in between.

"Okay," Yue Ran said as she pulled away. "Do you know how to do it now?"

Yue Ran let go of the young man and licked her lower lip. Her originally pink-colored lips turned moist and shiny, and the color gradually turned more and more red. It was hard to take his eyes off them. The young woman's whole temperament seemed to have changed from the gentleness that everyone knew of into one that Cheng Ying did not know how to describe because of this kiss.

But if the young man had to put it into words, he would say that Yue Ran had become both seductive and cute at the same time. Showing a character like this was a sign of trust, a behavior that Party A would only show to Party B because Party B is someone to whom Party A is very close to. So does this mean that Yue Ran trusts him?

Cheng Ying was obviously frightened by the visual stimulation that he was faced with. The young man was stunned for a while and could not utter a word.

Seeing that the young man did not give her a response, Yue Ran walked behind him, took off the red collar around his neck, and threw it carelessly on the ground with a loud clank following the jangling of the iron chain.

"Okay, I will not tease you anymore," Yue Ran said. "Get back to bed quickly." After a pause, she continued, "By the way, my room is over there and I do not lock my door at night. If there is anything you want, you can just call for me with a knock on the door, and I will get up and get them for you."

Cheng Ying obviously did not recover from what had happened just a moment ago—the sudden kiss was like a grenade that had his mind blown to smithereens. The young man returned to his guest room uncomprehendingly blankly and looked at the door. Although he was much more dazed, and dull, and was unable to respond just now, he always felt that Yue Ran seemed to be disappointed…

Why? Is it because he did not… kiss her back?

…

The next morning was bright and sunny and the air was filled with a fresh smell, one that only appeared after the rain. Cheng Ying did not close the window and woke up around seven or eight in the morning. But for him, it was comfortable as he could finally have a good night's sleep after so long.

The young man rubbed his eyes and looked out the window. Because the window was not closed, some raindrops had entered the room and fell on the edge of the table, forming a small pool of water on the floor, of which was shining brightly in the sunlight.

Cheng Ying thought that it looked good, but he was also worried that Yue Ran would be unhappy to see such a mess if she were to come into his room.

The young man could not help but notice how much brighter the sun shines after a heavy rainfall, and how much prettier the blue sky is under the warm sunlight on a cloudless day.

"Are you awake? I have asked the housekeeper in your house to pick you up," Yue Ran said. "You should get up and have some breakfast."

Yue Ran came up from downstairs and saw that the young man had gotten up, so she knocked on his door gently before speaking up. Cheng Ying immediately looked towards the young woman after the knock and was about to speak, but she had already spoken first.

The young woman was still as gentle as before, but something was amiss. Something was not quite right about her.

Cheng Ying did not know what it was, but he could certainly clearly feel the difference in Yue Ran's attitude towards him.

Disappointment.

Cheng Ying thought of this word again.

It is a disappointment. It must be a disappointment.

"Um, okay," Cheng Ying replied. "I will get up."

"There is no need to be in such a hurry. You can slow down and do things at your own pace," Yue Ran said. "Right, you can always call for me if you need anything."

Yue Ran smiled and waved to him before walking away and disappearing from the doorframe. Cheng Ying felt inexplicably uncomfortable when he saw this. He had a feeling that he was about to lose something, which made him feel bad and anxious.

Looking at Yue Ran's departing back from the doorway, Cheng Ying desperately wanted to do something, but could not do anything.

He does not like this very much. This feeling was just like the one he faced from his family and friends. He felt that something important was about to slip away from his life. He does not want this. He does not want to feel this way. So maybe he should do something to fight for it?

He should, shouldn't he? Right, he should.

Unfortunately, what Cheng Ying did not know was that what he wanted to fight for was the love of a devil incarnate.

…

Yue Ran turned and went downstairs to continue preparing breakfast for Cheng Ying and herself. To be honest, she was a little disappointed with Cheng Ying, not because he was disobedient, but because his reaction was a little bit boring, which was simply not fun.

It may also be that the initial expectations she bore for her investment (Cheng Ying) were too high, resulting in results that were not in line with her ideals, which made her feel a little psychologically unbalanced. However, she would still give this lost young man another chance. Another chance to fix his mistake.

Tap, tap, tap.

It is the sound of footsteps.
