Quick Transmigration: Will Even a Foolishly Popular Person Be Forced to Love Him?

Before this, Pei Ran had never liked anyone.

Sometimes, when he sees someone looking at a stranger with longing on their face, he feels puzzled.

What is love?

Why can love be so strange?

The more you love, the less you become like yourself.

It's more like a stranger suddenly crossing into a parallel universe one day, waking up grotesquely from this body, so that everyone becomes unrecognizable after encountering love.

Pei Ran couldn't understand love, and even less could she understand the love fans have for their idols.

If in reality there is still the possibility of spending time together and developing feelings over time.

Falling in love with someone online can only happen in the blink of an eye.

It's as if my current self suddenly died, and then I was possessed by another version of myself, falling in love with the lover who was reincarnated with me and was destined to be with me.

Otherwise, how can we explain why some people fall in love with someone without ever meeting them?

What exactly do they like about each other?

Voice, figure, appearance, personality...

Which point will be like a destined spark, that, in a certain instant, ignites the minds, emotions, and entire being of these suitors?

Or perhaps, what can captivate people are some very abstract things.

Her soul, her colors, a certain warmth in her language...

Her sometimes enigmatic gaze, her moments of sadness, the vulnerability hidden in her expression, the brightness of her smile—in short, everything about her.

Seeing her was like suddenly finding all the answers in a book that had no solutions.

He cried for her, laughed for her, and did everything for her that she might never know in her lifetime.

This is difficult for ordinary people, but for fans, it's just the basics.

When you like an idol, isn't it about understanding her, knowing her, cherishing her, protecting her, accompanying her, and loving her?

It's as if they were born to sacrifice for her.

No matter what I do, the ultimate goal is to get closer to her.

She was born to be their guiding star, their heart and soul left outside their bodies. After countless days and nights of separation, they were finally reunited at some point.

When Pei Ran happened to see Yun Zhi on TV, he understood everything.

Pei Ran wondered blankly: How could there be someone like Yun Zhi in the world?

How did she become Yun Zhi, and how did she appear in front of him?

She's so pitiful...

She looks pitiful, her voice sounds pitiful, it's pitiful that she grew up in a slum, and it's pitiful how she timidly introduces herself to the camera.

They're pitiful no matter what.

—Those who weren't born to be by his side and cared for by him are the most pitiful.

Pei Ran has never been the type to pity the pitiful.

But fate brought him together with her.

That poor girl might wither away one day because of the cruel environment outside.

What was she thinking when she stared pitifully at the camera with those beautiful and lovely eyes?

Was she begging for his pity, begging for his protection?

Pei Ran thought, "Yes."

If even he doesn't protect her, what is she supposed to do?

So at that moment, Pei Ran decided to become her fan.

That's exactly right.

Yun Zhi is so pitiful, so pitiful that Pei Ran can hardly imagine how she grew up without his care.

Having been absent from her life for so long, Pei Ran naturally had to make up for it tenfold.

Isn't it natural for fans to care about their idols?

Therefore, it is only natural to support her, care about her, protect her, cheer for her, and fight for her.

Pei Ran's family background and status meant that he could do more for her.

Why do you want to debut?

—Did you enter the entertainment industry to gain money or love?

If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.

—If you decide to become an idol, then be a good idol.

Pei Ran will always support Yun Zhi.

He will always watch over her, accompany her, and love her without reservation.

He voted for her, provided her with resources, and protected her. All she had to do was accept his love without feeling guilty.

As the most renowned genius hacker in Zhongzhou, Pei Ran once created "Sky Eye," which has now become the largest and most widely used surveillance system in Zhongzhou. For Pei Ran, the internet is like the most docile pet.

He has the ability and the authority; the omnipresent "heavenly eye" has become his densely packed external eyes.

Surveillance video captured by "Sky Eye" was used to track Yunzhi's daily schedule...

Countless public and private photos were changed one after another on his phone screen, and were soon locked and stored in a specific album.

Everything about her, her videos, and everything about her became Pei Ran's treasures.

The more you look at something, the more you care.

The more you care, the more you observe.

Pei Ran never felt that there was anything wrong with what she did.

After all, as an idol, Yun Zhi is born to be watched and loved by fans.

Is there any difference between being under the spotlight 24 hours a day and being watched over by him 24 hours a day? No.

He simply loves Yunzhi more than the average fan.

It was just a chance to get a little closer to her.

His liking for her is simply the liking a fan has for their idol.

If Yunzhi, as an idol, happens to need his help, his company, or his change of identity, then why not?

But Yunzhi was too shy.

Pei Ran could understand. She grew up in a poor neighborhood and had no one to rely on since childhood, which shaped her shy and timid personality.

She doesn't like to talk, but Pei Ran can see for himself with his own eyes.

—But there are still far too few eyes that can focus on Yun Zhi.

No matter how many mechanical creations there are, they all lack the warmth that belongs unique to human beings.

At times like this, Pei Ran would feel so anxious that she wanted to bite her fingers until they bled.

Why can a person only have one pair of eyes?

Why can't one person's eyes be on another person's body?

Why can he only see what Yun Zhi is doing, but not follow Yun Zhi to see what is happening from her perspective?

So now, all I can do is listen to Yun Zhi say things in that pitiful voice that are obviously lies.

...Even when she lies, it sounds so beautiful.

Her face was small and fair, with a delicate pink hue on her skin.

Her once clear and innocent round eyes were now lowered, her thick, long eyelashes trembling like butterflies along with her guilty words.

Pei Ran looked at her quietly, his eyes empty.

He merely tilted his head slightly, scrutinizing her swollen lips with a chillingly focused gaze.

"...So red."

Yun Zhi couldn't come up with any more explanations, and she stammered, "Huh? What?"

Pei Ran stretched out his pale, slender fingers and very slowly, little by little, stroked the girl's slightly parted lips.

Its color was a vibrant red, like a crabapple blossom dampened by spring rain, yet its owner had absolutely no ability to protect itself.

"How pitiful..."

Pei Ran murmured softly, his tone revealing a sincere yet eerie emotion, as if it were the kind of monster that sends chills down one's spine.

Yun Zhi looked up in surprise, only to meet Pei Ran's dark eyes.

Pei Ran's gaze was deep and dark, damp like the moss growing by an ancient well on a rainy day.

Yun Zhi belatedly realized there was some danger, and she called out softly, "Pei Ran?"

Pei Ran looked at her round eyes, wide open in fear, and at her trying to remain calm beneath him, and felt that Yun Zhi was truly pitiful.

"...This world is so dangerous," Pei Ran said, his Adam's apple bobbing very slightly. "Sure enough, Zhizhi needs my protection."

Why did the topic suddenly shift to this?

"I...I don't think it's dangerous..." Yunzhi said dryly.

But Pei Ran only needs to believe in himself: "Zhi Zhi is a liar."

Yun Zhi was trapped in the chair, unable to escape, and could only watch helplessly as Pei Ran approached her, his expression unchanged, his tone still calm, as he spoke to her:

"Otherwise, why would your lips be so red? It must be so painful, so pitiful, so very pitiful... Why are you always so pitiful, Zhizhi?"

"Zhizhi, let me help you."

"Let me suck it for you, okay?"

He asked the question aloud.
