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

Chapter 464 The Beginning of Everything (Zhao Ran's Side Story 2)

That was the noisiest summer Yu Ran had ever experienced.

That hot-blooded idiot is always by my side.

No matter how coldly he treats me, I can't get rid of him.

Like cicadas chirping all summer long in the yard, noisy and annoying.

At least initially, that was the case.

But after spending too much time in the dark, one always longs for the light.

Yu Ran sat on a small stool helping her grandmother peel corn. Then, that familiar voice came from outside the yard, "Little Blueberry, Dad and I caught several fish today. Grandpa made boiled fish fillets, they smell so good, come and eat with us."

Yu Ran gripped the corn in his hand tightly, ignoring everything.

Grandma saw through Yu Ran's thoughts. She placed her withered hand on the back of his hand, took the corn from his hand, and said with a smile, "Little Ran should make some friends. A child your age should go out and play. Go ahead."

Yu Ran pursed his lips, wanting to pick up another ear of corn, but he lowered his head and mumbled in protest, "Grandma, I didn't, I'm so annoyed by him."

The old woman nodded with a smile. "Yes, you don't. It's Grandma who wants Xiaoran to make more friends, okay?"

She got up, walked unsteadily to the door, and opened the wooden door.

Chen Zhao, who was standing outside the door, greeted her with a smile, "Hello, Grandma."

Despite his sweet words, Chen Zhao couldn't help but peek inside, and when he saw Yu Ran looking over, he grinned and waved at him, "Little Blueberry."

Yu Ran forbade him to call her Little Blue Sister, so Chen Zhao came up with a nickname for her himself.

He thought this little sister was sweet, just like his favorite blueberry.

It just so happens that it's also called Little Blue.

Little Blue Sister, Little Blue Girl, Little Blueberry.

They are a perfect match.

When Yu Ran saw Chen Zhao looking over, he quickly looked away.

The auricle of the ear turned an abnormal red.

He pursed his lips, turned his head back, and continued peeling the corn in his hands. However, his occasional glances at Chen Zhao betrayed his thoughts.

Grandma Yu greeted them with a smile, her eyes crinkling with wrinkles. "Xiao Zhao, you're here to see Xiao Ran, aren't you? This child is so bored, take him out to play quickly."

With Grandma Yu's approval, Chen Zhao squeezed through the door and ran up to Yu Ran, snatching the corn from his hand.

"Little Blueberry, today is my birthday. Can you have dinner with me? There's also a big cake!"

Chen Zhao squatted down to be at eye level with Yu Ran and gestured with his hand, as if the cake was really big.

Yu Ran pursed her lips and remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

After spending more than a month together, Chen Zhao had come to understand Yu Ran a little better. Since Yu Ran hadn't refused, it was probably a tacit agreement.

He raised his face and grabbed Yu Ran's skirt. "Little Blueberry, I don't have any friends here. Can you bear to see me all alone on my birthday?"

As he said this, he blinked twice, as if trying to squeeze out a few tears.

Her eyelashes fluttered, just like the stars in the sky.

Yu Ran didn't move, but his face showed confusion and helplessness. He looked at his grandmother who was slowly walking back. His grandmother waved to him, "Go on, don't worry about things at home."

The old man saw things clearly; with just one glance, it was as if he had seen through Yu Ran's thoughts completely.

Chen Zhao was quick to understand and pulled Yu Ran outside. Yu Ran pursed her lips and was pulled forward by Chen Zhao.

Grandma Yu leaned against the door frame, watching the two children's retreating figures, a slightly gratified smile on her face.

Her little Ran has friends now.

Chen Zhao grew up in a loving and harmonious family, and her birthday was warm and ordinary.

Chen Zhao sat next to Yu Ran and saw that Yu Ran only picked up the plate of food in front of him, acting like a little tyrant, and shoveling all the dishes that he thought were delicious in front of Yu Ran.

He grinned sheepishly, as if presenting a treasure, "Little Blueberry, these are all delicious, eat more."

Amidst the teasing and astonished gazes of Chen's parents and grandfather, Yu Ran wished she could bury her head in her rice bowl.

Chen Zhao, oblivious to the obvious presence of his bag, kept piling fish slices into Yu Ran's bowl, saying, "Little Blueberry, eat more, you're too thin."

Yu Ran was taciturn and couldn't bring himself to say anything to refuse.

He silently ate all the food that Chen Zhao put on his plate.

Chen Zhao stared at that fair and soft face the whole time. Her cheeks were stuffed with food, and she was jiggling like a hamster. So cute.

The cuter it is, the more I want to feed it.

Of all the people eating, only Yu Ran was stuffed.

When it was time to cut the cake, Chen Zhao insisted on making the first cut himself and placed the first piece of cake in front of Yu Ran.

"Little Blueberry, Mom says that the person who eats the first piece of birthday cake will have good luck all year round. I hope you will have good luck all year round."

Chen Zhao smiled, looked down at Yu Ran, and his eyes were filled with a dazzling starry sky.

As Yu Ran smelled the sweet aroma of the cake, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

He picked up a plastic fork and ate the haphazardly cut piece of cake clean.

Along with Chen Zhao's blessings.

Together with the sweet cake, I placed it deep in my heart.

Very sweet.

The noisy summer is also short-lived.

The two children, who had developed feelings for each other over the past two months, were both reluctant to part ways.

With tears in her eyes, Chen Zhao tugged at Yu Ran's skirt and said, "Little Blueberry, don't forget me. I'll come back next summer."

Yu Ran tried to comfort him by pulling at the corners of her lips, but found that she couldn't smile at all.

He wanted to cry too.

But he can't.

It's so embarrassing to howl along with Chen Zhao.

Chen's parents were already urging him on, but Chen Zhao was still howling. While howling, he stuffed the blueberry hair tie he had specially bought into Yu Ran's hand, "Little blueberry, you must remember me, I am your brother Chen Zhao."

Yu Ran looked at the hair tie in her hand; the rhinestones on the blueberry sparkled in the sunlight, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Chen Zhao was already struggling as his father carried him away; his howls could be heard from miles away.

Chen's father was so annoyed by his crying that he slapped his bottom and said, "Stop crying."

The crying stopped for a moment, then intensified.

"Little blueberry, little blue sister, you must remember me."

Looking at the hair tie in her hand and at Chen Zhao, who was crying her heart out, Yu Ran seemed to have made up her mind. She stepped forward, grabbed Chen's father's sleeve, and raised her head, "Uncle, can I say something to Chen Zhao?"

Chen's father put Chen Zhao down, and the deafening crying immediately stopped. He then grabbed Yu Ran and ran away.

He looked at Yu Ran with bright eyes, "Little Blueberry, is there anything you want to tell me?"

If he had a tail, it would be spinning like a propeller by now.

Yu Ran pursed her lips and clenched the hair tie tightly in her hand.

He looked up at the person in front of him, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Brother Chen Zhao, I will remember you. When you come back next year, I will tell you a secret. You mustn't be angry."

Chen Zhao was so dizzy from being called "Brother Chen Zhao" that he couldn't hear what Yu Ran said next.

My mind is scrolling through a series of images.

She called me "brother".

Little Blueberry calls me brother.

Little Blueberry calls me Brother Chen Zhao.

She's so adorable.

Chen Zhao nodded, giving a perfunctory reply.

Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhao wanted to say something to strengthen his bond with Little Blueberry, but his father had already grabbed him and pulled him up.

"You brat, if you keep dragging this out, you'll miss the train."

Chen Zhao leaned on her father's shoulder and waved to Yu Ran, "Little Blueberry, see you next year."

Yu Ran waved to him, "See you next year, Brother Chen Zhao."

The little boy was already looking forward to the next noisy cicada song.

Looking forward to the next noisy summer.

Looking forward to that noisy person.
