Quick Transmigration: After Fake Death, All the Protagonists I Flirted With Went Crazy

Chapter 469 The Beginning of Everything (Zhao Ran's Side Story 7)

Near the wedding venue, the Xie family specially closed the entire island for a week, just for Xie Gui and Gu Yao's wedding.

The wedding was grand and truly enviable.

They are both approaching thirty and have achieved considerable success in their careers.

Unexpectedly, the first one to get married was Gu Yao, the youngest.

After a long-term relationship, things have finally come to a conclusion, and Chen Zhao is genuinely happy for Gu Yao.

His younger sister has a boyfriend, but he, as the older brother, hasn't found anyone.

His mother is already urging him to hurry up.

But Chen Zhao always had an awkward feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.

He always felt that he should spend his life with the person he loved.

Instead of settling for someone just to get married.

That would be irresponsible to the other party.

Chen Zhao couldn't guarantee that he could manage a loveless marriage well, nor did he want to be bound by responsibilities to maintain the marriage in the future.

With Yu Ran on his back, his phone in his pocket rang again and again.

It's obvious without even guessing that this was a call from his mother urging him to get married.

After swiping his room card to enter, Chen Zhao tossed the person onto the bed, rubbed his sore shoulders, and looked at the person who had rolled over on the bed and was fast asleep. He felt like he was a terrible person.

The phone in my pocket kept ringing relentlessly.

Chen Zhao looked at the four words "Mother" flashing on the screen, sighed softly, and turned to go to the balcony to answer the phone.

As soon as I answered the phone, that shrewish voice came from the other end.

"Chen Zhao, you've really grown bold, daring to ignore your old mother's calls now."

Startled, Chen Zhao nearly dropped his phone. He quietly moved it away, and only brought it back to his ear when the sound subsided.

The handsome young man leaned against the wrought iron railing of the balcony, gazing at the sea and listening to the sound of the waves. The sea breeze calmed Chen Zhao's chaotic heart.

All he could think of were the happy images of Gu Yao and Xie Gui, and he suddenly lost interest in outsmarting his mother. He didn't want to be perfunctory anymore.

Chen Zhao sighed softly, interrupting his mother's incessant nagging about marriage, "Mom, I want to marry someone I like."

The noisy sounds suddenly ceased.

"I'm not trying to break up a couple. It's just that you haven't found someone yet. If you could find someone on your own, would I be in such a hurry?"

As the wind blew, Chen Zhao suddenly became unusually calm. "But I don't want to settle."

Chen's mother choked and remained silent for a long time.

So long that Chen Zhao thought the call had been disconnected.

"Then how do you know you won't meet someone you like on a blind date?"

Chen Zhao turned around, leaned against the railing, and smiled arrogantly yet bitterly. "Mom, I know what I'm doing, so don't worry about it. I'm going to find someone, and I'll find someone I like, so we can live happily ever after, right?"

Whether it was the gentle sea breeze or the young man's gentle voice, Chen's mother suddenly found herself speechless.

In the past, Chen Zhao would joke around with her, always using Yu Ran as a shield, but he had never been so open with her as he was today.

She sighed softly and muttered, "Isn't this all because I'm worried about your marriage? Are you planning to spend the rest of your life alone?"

"If I really can't find someone, it's fine to live alone. Maybe we're just not meant to be. I don't want to hold a girl back. Besides, I'm still young."

Chen's mother sighed softly, "You're almost thirty and you're still young? Never mind, I won't force you anymore. Just do what you like. After all, you're making so much money now, you won't starve."

Chen Zhao smiled and said, "Mom, thank you."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone before Chen's mother spoke.

"If you really can't find someone you like, just put your work aside for now. There are plenty of excellent girls in the provincial capital. The niece of Aunt Wang that I met this time, she's a PhD who returned from overseas, she's very elegant, and there's also..."

Chen Zhao listened quietly to her mother's nagging, but did not respond.

As Chen's mother got more and more excited, she made a video call and showed Chen Zhao the photos from the album she had collected.

Chen's mother knew everything about each girl's family background, education, and occupation.

Chen Zhao felt somewhat helpless, but dared not interrupt his mother. He could only watch as those faces, which all looked pretty much the same, passed by one by one.

After an unknown amount of time, a sound suddenly came from behind. Chen Zhao turned around, and before he could see who it was, the figure pounced on him.

"I... um!"

Just as the introduction was coming to an end, Chen's mother looked up and saw a scene that shocked her to the point of utter astonishment, leaving her speechless.

Chen Zhao's wrist was pinned down, and he lost his balance, causing his phone to fall directly off the second-floor balcony.

At this moment, Chen Zhao had no time to pay attention to the brand-new mobile phone that had only been in use for two days. The pain in his lip indicated what the person in front of him was doing.

Chen Zhao felt as if he had been struck by lightning, completely stunned.

His first kiss?!

Wait, he was kissed by Yu Ran?!

No, it should be called a forced kiss!

Chen Zhao didn't know why he could think of so many unrelated things.

It took him a while to realize what was happening and he tried to push Yu Ran away. Just as his hand touched Yu Ran's shoulder, Yu Ran let go of him first and hugged him tightly.

It was as if they had finally found some lost treasure.

The force binding Chen Zhao made his shoulder ache.

Before he could even voice his questions, Chen Zhaoxian was shocked by Yu Ran's accusations.

"Chen Zhao, why don't you like me?"

After having his first kiss stolen by his brother, Chen Zhao suffers his second blow tonight.

His best friend likes him?!

Yu Ran, however, seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions, and hugged Chen Zhao, crying uncontrollably.

"Chen Zhao, can you like me?"

He really couldn't hold on any longer.

This affection.

He's been carrying it all by himself for too long.

He is too tired.

He doesn't want it anymore.

The cold tears soaked through the collar of my shirt, and the sea breeze that had just felt pleasant now felt exceptionally cold.

Faced with Yu Ran's almost humble plea, Chen Zhao opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word. He could only let this person hold him and pour out his unrequited love that he had never spoken aloud all these years.

After crying until she was exhausted and the effects of the alcohol kicked in again, Yu Ran finally fell asleep on Chen Zhao's shoulder.

Chen Zhao looked up at the sky, then turned to look at Yu Ran. He only saw Yu Ran's wispy hair and red, tear-filled eyes. He sighed and resignedly picked him up.

On the contrary, Yu Ran, as soon as he got into bed, turned over and immediately rolled himself up in the blanket.

I slept soundly and peacefully.

This infuriated Chen Zhao.

The fist is hard.

He stepped forward, intending to shake her awake and straighten Yu Ran's sideways body, but the lingering redness and wet tear stains at the corners of her eyes burned Chen Zhao's eyes.

My heart trembled as well.

He frantically let go, taking several steps back as if there were some monstrous beast on the bed.

His handsome face, with tears in the corners of his eyes and a hint of spring in his expression, was boldly displayed before Chen Zhao.

At a glance.

Very nice.

It looks just like aftermath...

Chen Zhao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he suddenly felt a bit thirsty.

Is it really possible for someone to be this good-looking?

It's just beautiful.

She was more beautiful than anyone he had ever seen.

He had seen adult films before, but when the actors were actually doing it, Chen Zhao never felt so alluring.

The young man, with his affectionate eyes, was like a high-mountain flower that had been torn down from its pedestal, carrying a sense of decadence and depravity.

It draws people forward.

Further ahead...
