Quick Transmigration: What to Do When the Male Supporting Character You Saved Becomes Obsessed with

Chapter 484 "Infecting the World" - Male Mother (95)

Lu Liruan didn't really know what she was looking for, but since Liao Tingyuan said it might be related to the concept of "rescue," then the relevant thing was a rescue organization.

Since she couldn't think of anything else to do, Lu Liruan decided to just flip through the pages first.

I find myself sleeping until noon every day, having lunch, spending some time in the afternoon thinking, and then it's evening. It's summer now, so it gets dark late.

But that also means that as soon as it gets dark outside, she will soon enter the space time. Lu Liruan always feels that she can only live half a day.

I can't say I was slacking off... I didn't.

But there's a subtle sense of unease.

When Lu Liruan was working before, although she worked several shifts and her schedule was often chaotic, it seemed that because she did a lot of work, she felt very fulfilled?

Lu Liruan couldn't understand her own psychology. Was she some kind of chosen one?

When Liao Tingyuan walked over with his phone, Lu Liruan told him her thoughts: "Doctor, what's wrong with me?"

Liao Tingyuan: "..."

“You don’t seem to enjoy working.” Liao Tingyuan thought for a moment and replied to Lu Liruan, “You’ve been staying here for too long and feel like you haven’t done anything, so you’re feeling a bit empty.”

Lu Liruan opened her mouth, and then realized... Liao Tingyuan's words were incredibly accurate.

Am I destined to never live a peaceful life? Two lines of tears streamed down Lu Liruan's face.

"Teacher Liao, don't you feel the same way?" Lu Liruan tried to find some resonance with Liao Tingyuan, who, as a veteran, shared the same feelings.

Liao Tingyuan shook his head naturally and quickly: "No."

"Really not?"

"No, if I could never have to work... I'd actually quite like that too." Liao Tingyuan didn't hide his true feelings at all, being very frank.

"Besides, I did a little more work than you." Liao Tingyuan suddenly felt like teasing Lu Liruan when he saw her pouting.

"What?" Sure enough, Lu Liruan blurted out the question.

Liao Tingyuan raised an eyebrow and said in a calm voice, "Buy groceries, cook, clean the house, do housework..."

Lu Liruan: Okay, that's enough!

Seeing Lu Liruan's escapist behavior, covering her ears and running to the sofa, Liao Tingyuan calmly opened his phone.

"Brother Tingyuan...are you sure you don't need my help?" Someone sent me a message this morning.

"Need not."

"I'm so bored lately, there are no tasks at all... I'm so bored! Sister Fang won't let me contact you, saying she's afraid I'll bother you! How could I bother you? I just wanted to ask if you need any help!"

The other party went on and on, but Liao Tingyuan simply replied coldly with the same sentence: "No need."

Liao Tingyuan looked at the "typing in progress" message on the other end of the line.

Thinking to myself, the person across from me is truly destined to have a life of hard work and never have a moment of peace...

On the other end of the phone was the red-haired guy Liao Tingyuan had met that day.

He joined the company later than Liao Tingyuan, but ever since he joined, he has been enthusiastically involved in all sorts of matters, big and small, as long as his schedule didn't conflict with theirs, and wherever manpower was needed...

The calm and somewhat lazy work atmosphere at the time made those already in this work environment feel the pressure.

For a long time, Liao Tingyuan tried to avoid communicating with him...

It's not that I dislike this person.

I just feel that getting close to him means being enveloped by that hardworking atmosphere, which is really hard for oxen and horses who want to move as little as possible.

Later, after taking on more or less the same tasks, Liao Tingyuan gradually came to terms with it.

Last time, when another place wanted to borrow people from them, this guy volunteered to go too. The boss forced him to take a few days off and assigned him tasks, making people keep an eye on his whereabouts every day, for fear that if he wasn't careful, he would be tricked away by the other side and never come back.

Lu Liruan had already put down her phone. When she asked Liao Tingyuan what he was looking at, Liao Tingyuan told her the story as a tale.

Lu Liruan couldn't stop laughing.

"Are there really people like that?"

“Yes, there are indeed people like that.” Liao Tingyuan nodded, acknowledging Lu Liruan’s surprise.

"Such high level of ideological awareness..." Lu Liruan admired.

"Does your unit have any other tasks lately?"

"It's not that there aren't any, but none of them seem serious or of a high level, so we don't need to mobilize a lot of people." Liao Tingyuan didn't ask any further questions.

Lu Liruan did some mental calculations and realized that their workplace was quite relaxed.

Seeing Lu Liruan's thoughts, Liao Tingyuan sighed: "When things get busy, it really is quite busy. The most we ever had was five spaces running at the same time, all in different cities. We practically had to split all the staff in the office in half."

"When did this happen?" Lu Liruan asked curiously.

"The year before last... around the time of the Lunar New Year the year before last."

"What? Does the company also need to boost its year-end performance?" Lu Liruan asked warily.

"……no."

Liao Tingyuan thought to himself, "How can this little girl have such a wild imagination, always personifying space?" But after thinking about it, he didn't say it aloud.

Lu Liruan was going against He Yan's posts on WeChat Moments.

He Yan's WeChat account is probably the one he uses for working with the rescue organization, because he posts on his Moments very frequently, and they are all related to animal rescue.

Recruiting volunteers... Adoption events... Where to attend conferences...

You can feel her love and enthusiasm for this job just by looking at her WeChat Moments.

But it was tough on Lu Liruan. She clicked on each item one by one and read them for a long time before she had read very little.

"Teacher Liao, have you added Sister Yan Yan?" Lu Liruan asked, peeking out of her phone.

"I added it when I transferred the money to her," Liao Tingyuan nodded.

"You look at the first few months, I'll look at the last few months..."

Lu Liruan hesitated for a moment: "Although I don't know what to look at, I'll just look at it first!"

Liao Tingyuan never objected to Lu Liruan's ideas. The two sat on either side of the sofa, each holding a phone and looking at it intently.

I watched until the setting sun outside painted the clouds with a reddish glow.

"Ah! It's already this late..." Lu Liruan looked up outside, remembering what Liao Tingyuan had said that afternoon about buying groceries and cooking, so she suggested, "Teacher Liao, let's order takeout today! It's my treat to reward you for working so hard~ What would you like to eat~"

Lu Liruan said with a smile.

"Yes, I'm fine with anything, Ruan Ruan, you can choose." Liao Tingyuan didn't stand on ceremony with her, his eyes still fixed on the phone screen.

"Let's have pizza then! I saw that place a while ago, and I just tried it out. It seems like they deliver!" Lu Liruan said excitedly.

Then he met Liao Tingyuan's knowing look.

When Lu Liruan said those words, Liao Tingyuan knew she already knew what she wanted to eat. Knowing Lu Liruan so well now, he could pretty much guess what she was thinking just from her tone of voice...

"Okay, sure." Liao Tingyuan nodded obediently.

"Then let's add a chicken wing and a cheese ball!"

"it is good."

"Teacher Liao, you like to eat this too, right?" Lu Liruan peeked at him.

"Yes, I like it."

"That's good~"

The two exchanged a tacit, formulaic conversation, and Lu Liruan happily ordered takeout.

For a while, it wasn't that she couldn't order takeout, but rather that she could only order from a few places, none of which were Lu Liruan's favorites.

and……

Although Liao Tingyuan never restricted her in any way, Lu Liruan always felt guilty about ordering takeout in front of him, as if she were secretly ordering takeout in front of her parents.

I don't know where this feeling of being a thief came from.

Even after the food delivery arrived, Liao Tingyuan was still patiently scrolling through He Yan's WeChat Moments.

He even zoomed in on each picture to examine it, although Liao Tingyuan didn't know what he was looking for.

"Teacher Liao! Lunch is ready!"

Lu Liruan took out the new salted egg yolk cheese pizza with satisfaction, opened the lid, and took a deep breath, feeling that her body and mind had been purified.

What to do when you're in a bad mood? Eat something delicious.

Still feeling down? How about having another nice meal?

Lu Liruan felt great at this moment.

She skipped over to the refrigerator and grabbed an iced cola. Lu Liruan then poured a glass for Liao Tingyuan, saying solicitously, "Teacher Liao, this is for you!"

Lu Liruan gave the first slice of pizza to Liao Tingyuan.

Liao Tingyuan found her eager behavior amusing.

He wasn't picky about food, but seeing Lu Liruan happy made him think the takeout was quite delicious.

There's no need to wash the dishes today; Lu Liruan can just tidy them up and throw them in the trash.

That evening, Liao Tingyuan asked her, "Not today..."

“We’ve been lazy all day yesterday! Let’s go out for a walk today! We ate too much tonight, so it’s good to go out and digest our food!” Lu Liruan interrupted him and spoke first.

It wasn't really a pizza that ignited Lu Liruan's endless fighting spirit.

But when Lu Liruan recalled the appearance of Liao Tingyuan she had seen last night, she suddenly felt a little uneasy about being so close to Liao Tingyuan in the dark.

Liao Tingyuan didn't know why she suddenly had so much energy.

Do you really like that pizza place that much?

The two people were thinking completely different things, but neither of them objected. They sat on the sofa, looking at their phones while staring at the approaching time.

Liao Tingyuan's clothes always had the same few styles. At first, Lu Liruan thought they were bland, but after a while, she found them particularly pleasing to the eye... Teacher Liao always dressed simply and plainly, which made people feel very calm and comfortable.

Today he was wearing a similar set of loungewear as yesterday.

Lu Liruan was quite agitated, her eyes constantly glancing at the other person, until Liao Tingyuan noticed.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing!" Lu Liruan said, only to realize that her tone was rather strange. She could only get up and pretend to go to the kitchen to get a drink of water to cover up her embarrassment.

What is it...? Why do I suddenly feel uncomfortable sometimes when I'm with Teacher Liao?

Lu Liruan couldn't understand it.

Liao Tingyuan was used to Lu Liruan's erratic thinking and didn't realize that the little girl was caught in a strange distress.

Tonight was the same as usual, with nothing to show for it.

Lu Liruan walked slowly and listlessly, glancing left and right absentmindedly. The courtyard remained unchanged.

Even the child's diary hasn't been updated.

In the quiet environment, Lu Liruan could feel Liao Tingyuan's presence beside her, which was particularly noticeable. She deliberately quickened her pace, trying to divert his attention.

According to Liao Tingyuan's analysis, the two of them focused on looking for anything else related to animal rescue when they went to the woman's house.

Lu Liruan went into the kitchen and rummaged around, hoping to find something like cat food.

But the cabinet was clean. Lu Liruan stood on a stool and searched through the cabinets above the ceiling. Apart from some seasonings and dried goods, there was nothing else inside.

There's nothing in this house that small animals can eat!

I guess the woman of the house doesn't want to see anything related to animals right now.

Lu Liruan understood her psychological trauma and didn't know how long it would take her to recover, nor whether her child's wish to have a pet would ever be fulfilled.

Lu Liruan really couldn't think of anything related to relief, so she sat in the living room and said, "How about something like a donation?"

“But now we all transfer money online… We can’t exactly steal the lady of the house’s phone, can we?” Lu Liruan started talking nonsense.

Liao Tingyuan didn't interrupt her, letting her talk freely, thinking that she might suddenly have an idea sometime.

The next day, she followed the same routine. After getting up, Lu Liruan received a message from He Yan, telling her that the feeders they had bought had been delivered that day.

He Yan also took a picture of Lu Liruan.

Lu Liruan clicked on the photo and looked at it carefully. She found that it was indeed the same as the one at home, except that it was new and old. She completely gave up on finding clues in the feeder.

"Sister Yan, when you do rescue work in the community, besides these methods, do you have any other methods?" Lu Liruan asked.

He Yan thought for a moment and said, "That's usually how it is. If there's any need for special care, like if there are sick stray animals in the neighborhood, we'll just bring them back."

Were there any sick animals in this neighborhood at the time?

"I don't think so, anyway we didn't notice it at the time... The kittens were with their mothers, and they all looked very lively and energetic." He Yan recalled carefully.

"So, did you find the kittens in the yard?" He Yan asked with a hint of expectation.

"...I don't know if it is, but I saw a kitten run through the bushes in the yard yesterday," Lu Liruan lied ambiguously.

"We plan to go back to the neighborhood for a visit in a while," He Yan said earnestly.

"okay."

The two chatted for a while, and He Yan said that they would put the donation list of all donors on their official WeChat account.

"Ruanruan, you can check it out on their official WeChat account!"

As she spoke, He Yan sent over a WeChat official account business card.
