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

Chapter 472 The Beginning of Everything (Zhao Ran's Side Story 10)

Grandma Yu listened from the side, took Yu Ran's hand and patted it, "Xiao Ran, if you don't want to go, then you don't have to go. Things are inanimate, but people are alive. Your mother doesn't want you to be unhappy."

Meeting the old woman's worried gaze, Yu Ran patted her back and comforted her, "Grandma, it's alright, I'll go and see her when the time comes."

Grandma Yu's eyes were filled with heartache. Her dry, aged hands stroked her grandson's temples, and tears welled up in her eyes. "My little Ran, you've worked so hard."

Yu Ran gripped the old man's withered arm tightly and shook his head, "It's not hard work."

He rubbed his cheek against the old woman's palm, "like a puppy clinging to its home, as long as Grandma's here, it's not hard work."

As long as his grandmother is still alive, he will still have a home.

it's OK.

Everything will pass.

But he didn't see the worry flickering in his grandmother's eyes.

Three days before Lunar New Year's Eve, the usually frugal old man unusually busied himself preparing a large table of dishes in high spirits.

Seeing that Yu Ran was absent-minded, the old man put a chicken leg in his bowl. "Isn't chicken leg Xiao Ran's favorite food? You can have all the chicken legs."

Yu Ran's eyes stung with tears, and she responded with a soft "yes".

After the meal, the two sat together. The old woman, who was usually sleepy early in the morning, was unusually holding Yu Ran's hand today. "Little Ran, if you like someone, you should hurry up and pursue them. Without your grandma, what will my little Ran do?"

The old woman was a little agitated, tears welling up in her eyes, but Yu Ran felt even more distressed. He shook his head, a nameless panic rising in his heart. "Grandma, don't say such unlucky things. Grandma will live to be a hundred years old."

The old man didn't say anything more, but he held Yu Ran's hand and gave him a lot of instructions.

It wasn't until midnight that I visibly felt sleepy and stood up to go back to my room to rest.

Yu Ran was a little worried, and then she wanted to turn around with her grandmother, laughing and joking, "What's wrong? Little Ran is so big, are you still afraid of the dark?"

"Shall I help Grandma inside?"

The old man sighed softly and placed his hand on Yu Ran's hand.

If Yu Ran had known that it was the last time he would see his grandmother, he would have stayed with her until the very end.

The old man always went to bed early and got up early. When Yu Ran didn't see the old man making breakfast the next morning, he had some guesses in his mind.

He didn't know why he was able to remain so calm.

Calmly opening the door, I grasped the old man's withered, cold wrist; his weathered face was filled with peace.

She was 85 years old at the time, so her passing can be considered a happy one.

I've heard the village children say that one day their grandparents suddenly pulled them aside and talked to them for a long time. The adults in the village also said that the elderly can sense this.

Yu Ran was also aware of this.

But when he saw the silent old man, he still felt as if the sky had fallen.

From that moment on, he... had no home.

He seemed to be constantly on the move, and his home never felt like a home since he was a child. His husband rarely came back throughout the year, and he was eventually ostracized by the villagers.

His mother passed away, and his grandmother fell seriously ill, making him that man's only son.

It was as if she had everything overnight.

Especially the countless amounts of money.

But he still doesn't have a home.

His grandmother provided him with a sanctuary, patting his shoulder gently when he was sad and saying, "Don't cry, Xiao Ran, Grandma's here."

But now, my grandmother is gone too.

Yu Ran really didn't know what to do.

His soul seemed to be detached from his body, with only his physical body acting mechanically.

Following his grandmother's last wishes, he took her back to her hometown.

Yu Ran has lost contact with everyone again.

This time, it's a complete and utter loss of contact.

On the eve of Chinese New Year, Gu Yao and Xie Gui strolled through the streets of Country E, enjoying their honeymoon.

He sent everyone a large red envelope in advance, and everyone received it instantly.

Only residual fuel was automatically refunded within 24 hours.

Chen Zhao's international phone call came at this time.

His voice was urgent and trembling, "Gu, Gu Yao, do you know where Yu Ran went? I, I can't find him..."

Hearing Chen Zhao's voice, which sounded like she was about to cry, Gu Yao frowned but didn't panic. "Didn't Yu Ran say he had already gone home for the New Year? Aren't your homes next door to his?"

Gu Yao thought the situation between the two had been resolved, so Yu Ran went back.

Now it seems that this is not the case.

He scratched his head, his tone a little sharp, "Chen Zhao, did you say something to Yu Ran?"

Besides Chen Zhao, Gu Yao couldn't think of anyone else who could force Yu Ran to go missing.

After all, over the years, Chen Zhao's unrestrained words have sometimes made even him, an outsider, feel heartbroken.

Chen Zhao slumped against the wall, sitting in front of Yu Ran's house, looking dejected. "I really didn't. I'm just really confused and need some time to calm down. I haven't dared to go see him since the night of the wedding."

At first, Chen Zhao was really anxious when Yu Ran didn't reply to his messages, but he was able to relax a bit because he kept in touch with Gu Yao.

But this time...

It seems he... really... lost him.

Chen Zhao looked up, wanting to cry, but couldn't shed a tear; it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuffed in his throat.

"Gu, Gu Yao, please... please help me find Yu Ran."

Gu Yao sighed softly and rubbed his fingertips together. "Chen Zhao, have you forgotten what you studied?"

After a long silence, Gu Yao heard the sound of someone getting up and running over there.

Gu Yao also contacted Cen Yubai in China and asked him to help search for Xie Gui. They bought plane tickets back to China overnight.
