Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty
Chapter 276 - 276: The Gentle Psychiatrist (46)

Nothing else could be seen from such a narrow space.

Lu Yuan: ...

Lu Yuan's playful and lighthearted expression vanished for the first time, as though the young man was truly taken aback by this revelation.

Yue Ran's red lips rose slightly before they fell back down in a fraction of a second without a trace. She found it funny. The young woman certainly did not expect that people like Lu Yuan could even be scared of something like this in the end.

"If you do not have the habit of standing in front of other people's houses, then you can leave," Yue Ran stated in a dismissive tone. "I will see you in two days."

With that, the young woman completely disappeared from his view, and the door to her house was clicked shut.

Lu Yuan was left standing in front of the closed door, all the while feeling a little strange in his heart. He had long known that Yue Ran was the same kind of person as him; otherwise, he would not have been so fascinated by her in the first place.

He believed that he was one of the few people in the world who truly understood her, but now that he has thought about it, he may not really know much about her at all.

And keeping people as pets at home? Do not tell him that this is a kind of new treatment method...

—And that person also looks quite familiar, as if he had met him before.

Oh, now he does seem to have recalled it. That young man on the sofa... he turned out to be the same guy who had walked into Yue Ran's office last time.

Okay, Lu Yuan does have to admit that he felt a little jealous.

...

"I am back," Yue Ran announced as she spun her body around to meet Cheng Ying. "How do you feel about being at home alone?"

"I am fine," the young man on the sofa responded softly.

Cheng Ying quickly sat up from his hunched position and walked up to the young woman by the door. Although he was supposed to feel sad and bad, he still could not help but feel very happy to see her. Under the attack of such two emotions, Cheng Ying turned both a little sensitive and impulsive.

The young man hastily wrapped his arms around Yue Ran when he had gotten close to her. He was obviously much taller than her, but now he had buried his head on the young woman's shoulder, and the tone of his voice, when he spoke, sounded a little aggrieved, like a poor little puppy in need of comfort.

"I have been waiting for you to come back all day long," Cheng Ying stated. "Yue Ran, who are you talking to just now? Is it the one from the last hospital visit? Your previous patient?"

Cheng Ying mulled it over for a moment, but in the end, he still could not help but ask these questions. He was really afraid that Yue Ran would think that he had abruptly interfered too much with her social life and would thus hate him, but he also felt very uncomfortable in his heart that he was not able to pretend that nothing had happened at all.

The young man simply had to get this source of frustration off his chest.

"Oh? You mean Lu Yuan?" Yue Ran raised a brow in question. "Yes, I happened to have some intersections with him at work recently, and he had helped me a lot."

"Oh, so it is like this." Cheng Ying nodded and said nothing more. His voice sounded weak and unconfident.

He is obviously also the young woman's patient, but he seems to only be able to cause trouble for her.

"Okay, let us eat our dinner," Yue Ran said. "You must be hungry already."

The young woman turned around and walked into the kitchen. But who knew that as soon as she had just taken a few steps, Cheng Ying would suddenly grab her sleeve from behind her?

The young man's voice appeared dull but also sounded a little more decisive as he uttered, "If he can help you, then I can help you too." There was a brief pause before he continued, "If that were so, then Yue Ran, you would not have to look for him anymore, right?"

Yue Ran raised her brows. She was pleasantly surprised by the male protagonist's current performance. Even without the need to drop too many hints at him, the young man himself would actually take the initiative to gradually transform into what she wanted him to be all along.

Yue Ran: How lovely is that?

"Yes, that is right," Yue Ran answered. "And you, Cheng Ying, will always be my first choice." Her voice sounded earnest, gentle, and reassuring. "I do not want to deal with those kinds of people either."

Yue Ran turned around and retraced her steps to walk to the young man's side. She then held his big hand in hers.

Cheng Ying looked up at the young woman, and the childishness that had previously enveloped his aura had faded away. Some people say that growth is a long process, but Cheng Ying seems to have gone through a small transformation and growth at this moment.

The young man repeatedly reminds himself softly to be a useful person to Yue Ran, no matter what or when.

He must be a useful person.

This will allow him to occupy more of her sight. If he is useful, then she will surely look at him more, right? She would always want to be close to him that way, right? She would not find others anymore, right?

Yue Ran: That is right, my dear male protagonist. Keep up with the good work.

Cheng Ying looked at the silver chain that was lying on the ground, which was attached to his collar, and a strange thought suddenly came to his mind.
