Quick Transmigration: Irresistible Beauty-Chapter 252: The Gentle Psychiatrist (22)

Seeing the young woman gone from his sight, Cheng Ying lowered his head and read the fairy tale book quietly. Unfortunately, his thoughts still could not calm down even after he had read two pages after much hard work. Rather than reading it himself, he still preferred it if someone else read the story to him instead.

He does like fairy tales, but not that he really loves them. He just likes to use the wild imagination that the story entails and the simple relationships between the characters in the stories. Moreover, there is always be a happy ending in each fairy tale to temporarily free himself from the pain of reality.

As for why it should be a fairy tale, the young man is not so sure of it himself.

It may be because good people will definitely have a good ending after going through many hardships, and bad people will definitely not be going unpunished, and so that was why he liked it. Furthermore, everyone inside a fairy tale story is always so kind and gentle with little to no ulterior motives behind them.

Cheng Ying clearly knows that this cannot and will not happen in reality, so he cannot help but want to indulge in it, even if it is false. Such a fictitious fantasy, even if false, was nice to sink in.

But Yue Ran's story, including Yue Ran herself, was quietly changing him.

In the stories made and read by Yue Ran, the rules of the narrative become one of equal exchange. You can only receive things just as much as you give them away. Her story emphasizes the concept of love more.

Also, when she has read him stories, Cheng Ying will experience what he had always dreamed of, which is being able to feel the feeling of sleeping with his mother at night and hearing a gentle voice tell him a good night story before going to bed.

There was also the pleasant fragrance on Yue Ran, which smelled gentle, like herself, and comforting. She will take the initiative to cook for him and care about his feelings when she takes him out. Although Yue Ran had nothing to do with him, or had any other relationship other than being his psychiatrist, the emotional projection he had always wanted had already been received.

"Okay, it is time to eat," Yue Ran said as she brought the plates out from the kitchen. "Go wash your hands, and we will have dinner."

When Yue Ran had finished arranging the plates and cutleries on the table, she took her apron off. Cheng Ying stood up and walked to her. Yue Ran was a head lower than him, and she had to raise her head slightly to look up at the young man.

"Can I help?" Cheng Ying asked.

"Hmm, you can…" Yue Ran said with a hum before her words trailed off. "Why do you not try to help me wash the dishes after we finished eating?"

Yue Ran blinked and smiled at him, looking particularly cute. Cheng Ying rarely saw the young woman look so playful and so adorable. He could not help but panic at that moment before he quickly looked away and nodded heavily at her suggestion.

When the young woman's eyes landed on his own, all Cheng Ying could focus on for that moment was how endearing she was, how it was the first time ever that he had ever seen this expression on her, and how he wanted to see more of it.

Yue Ran looked at the reddish tips of the young man's ears and sighed lightly in her heart.

The male protagonist is really so cute. She might just really be tempted to corrupt such a cutie in advance…

…

The sky was dim and almost completely dark. The raindrops fell pattering down, looking like drops of inky black rain, which was a bit scary. The two of them—Cheng Ying and Yue Ran—sat at the dining table while having little to no conversation, but the atmosphere was still very harmonious.

"I will take you back home later," Yue Ran said. "It is probably going to rain harder later on."

Yue Ran looked at the scattered raindrops outside the window with worry in her eyes. The weather forecast clearly stated that today would be a clear day with no rain, but it rained anyway. The weather is always so unpredictable.

Cheng Ying had just glanced outside the window before he hurriedly withdrew his gaze. Yue Ran seemed to notice his uneasiness, so she touched the back of his hand across the dining table to try and comfort him.

"Cheng Ying, how about you sleep with me today?" Yue Ran asked softly with eyes that held her worry for the young man. "There is a guest room upstairs that no one has ever stayed in before."

Yue Ran's hand was still on the back of Cheng Ying's hand, and there was a deep sadness in her tone. She seemed to be worried that going back at night would affect his mood, so she hesitated for a while before offering this suggestion. free𝑤ebnovel.com

"There are brand new sheets and duvet covers," Yue Ran added. "You can take a look at the room first before you decide. What do you think?" She paused. "I am just worried about you."

Cheng Ying unconsciously curled up his toes due to nervousness. He pursed his lips for a while without saying anything. In that silence, he looked at Yue Ran several times out of the corner of his eye. The only thing he could perceive was her worried expression, one without any trace of any ulterior motives hidden behind them. She was just simply and purely worried for him.

"Ah, um, o-okay," Cheng Ying stuttered out. "In the evening, can I… listen to more stories?"

"Of course," Yue Ran replied readily.

The young man's voice was trembling, and he stuttered a little after he had just started to talk.
