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

Since then, the two have been texting each other more frequently.

3.26

[Yunzhi: It rained during rehearsal today, and it was a bit cold. I got chilled.]

[Mr. Crane: How annoying the rain! How could it bully our Zhizhi?]

[Yunzhi: But I don't hate rain! Sleeping at home on a rainy day is an incredibly blissful thing!]

[Mr. Crane: I see. So, what kind of weather does Zhizhi like best?]

[Yunzhi: I like all kinds of weather, um... I hate it when it's too hot or too cold!]

Mr. Crane: Understood^^

3.29

[Mr. Crane: I saw a little bird with an injured wing. I'm thinking of keeping it at home, but I don't know if it would like it.]

[Yunzhi: Once the bird has healed, if it hasn't flown away, then we should keep it.]

[Mr. Crane: What a pity... It looked like a very free little bird, its feathers were stained with blood and filthy, and the first thing it tried to do upon seeing people was fly away. It even tried to peck at people when we fed it, so fierce!]

4.1

[Yunzhi: How's the little bird doing today?]

[Mr. Crane: He's more energetic now, and he's pecking harder!]

[Yunzhi: !!! Did you get pecked? You naughty little bird!]

Mr. Crane: No, don't worry about me^^

[Yunzhi: It sounds like there might be someone else who is the victim?]

[Mr. Crane: Hmm. Zhizhi found out. Well, actually, the butler almost got pecked^^]

[Yunzhi: Please give the housekeeper a raise.]

Mr. He: Yes, sir.

4.5

[Mr. Crane: The little bird's feathers are almost fully grown back.]

[Yunzhi: Is it still pecking people?]

[Mr. Crane: The butler is quite skilled now; it didn't get pecked this time. It's a little disappointed, so much so that the butler doesn't want to feed it meat anymore. Today, it even unusually kept nagging me to release it back into the wild. It's the first time I've ever seen that expression on the butler's face.]

[Yunzhi: You seem to really like it.]

[Mr. Crane: Do you like it? Perhaps... not really. It's just that I care a little.]

Yun Zhi: Hmph, liar.

4.8

[Mr. Crane: It may really be leaving.]

[Yunzhi: Is it that sudden?]

[Mr. Crane: It was always a free bird; human care might be a constraint for it. If it wants to leave, I probably have no reason to keep it.]

After a pause, Yun Zhi typed: "[...If Mr. Crane likes it very much, then please keep the little bird a little longer.]"

This time, the other person was surprised: "Why?"

Because... I might be starting to favor you a little.

I think I care about you more than the little bird...

Yunzhi rarely spoke her mind: "If the little bird is destined to fly away, keeping it here a little longer might make you happier. That way, even if you have to part ways later, you won't be too sad."

[Mr. Crane: Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?]

Yun Zhi looked bewildered: [Why do you say that?]

[Mr. Crane: You don't know what I'm really like, you don't understand my true character, and yet you start to favor me... That's not a good choice.]

Yunzhi asked, "Then will you be mean to me?"

Mr. He: ...I don't know.

She then asked, "So, are you still most biased towards me?"

Mr. He: Of course.

See, you don't know what I'm really like, you don't understand my true character, and aren't you the one who's most biased towards me?

Yun Zhi typed slowly: 【Besides, speaking of bad... I actually have a little bit of that too.】

For a bird yearning for freedom, I, who advised you to keep it a little longer, am also a completely bad person!

Mr. Crane: You're not bad at all; you're the best child in the world.

[Mr. Crane: And... I know something else. I've been watching you. I know you love the weather in early spring and early summer, your favorite food is milk pudding, and you want to be famous...]

Yunzhi interrupted the other party's message.

For the first time, Yunzhi felt curious about an online friend.

She asked, "And what about you?"

What kind of weather do you like? What kind of food do you like? What are your dreams? What was your life like in the past? I feel like I know nothing about you.

[Mr. Crane: ...Do you want to understand me?]

Yunzhi thought he was so stupid: 【Of course!】

Mr. Crane: My real name contains the character "crane"...

Yun Zhi sighed: "You've already said this, you idiot. Otherwise, why would I call you Mr. Crane?"

[Mr. Crane: Then why do you call me Mr. Crane?]

"...Now it's my turn to get to know you!"

Yun Zhi couldn't very well say that she secretly gave him a respectful title because she felt he was somewhat like an elder, could she?

Mr. Crane: Okay^^

[Mr. Crane: I don't have a particular favorite type of weather, a particular favorite food, or a dream that I absolutely must fulfill.]

[Mr. He: My life might be a bit boring, I'm much older than you, and my personality is considered a bit bad by others. If you want to get to know me... you probably won't like me.]

Yunzhi said: 【I want to know too】

It can't be that only you know me, while I know nothing about you, right? That's too much.

[Mr. Tsuru: ...If we can meet, I'll tell you then.]

[That's such a perfunctory response. What if we never get to meet?]

[Mr. He: We will meet.]

How will I recognize you then?

Mr. He: ...I recently sent you some gifts.

[Mmm (the kitten nods)]

Mr. Crane: I saw you wearing the hair tie I gave you.

Yun Zhi was a little embarrassed and annoyed: [What? Is it not allowed?] Why is he looking at me so seriously?

Mr. Tsuru: ...Of course. What I mean is...

[Mr. Crane: If you can recognize me at a glance when we meet, I'll give you a surprise gift; if you can't, I'll wear the same hair tie around my wrist, give you your favorite milk pudding, and then knock on your door one night—]

Yunzhi pressed further: "And then?"

[Mr. He: ...It's a secret. I'll tell you when we meet.]

She confidently promised: "Okay. Then I'll recognize you!"

[Mr. Crane: Then I will always hold onto my hopes]

And now, the person who was thought to remain only online is standing right in front of Yun Zhi.

People do tend to have a biased view of those they are familiar with.

Even though Gu Shihe's face was still the same, Yun Zhi's mood changed drastically after learning that he was "Mr. He".

During the day, the young man's well-tailored suit was stretched taut, revealing his aggressively muscular chest and broad shoulders beneath the fabric. With each breath, he exuded a silent sense of oppression.

Now, his gentle features resemble a pool of warm, gentle spring water.

"We've finally met."

The young man's tone sounded like a sigh, with a hint of resentment, but when he looked at her, he clearly had a smile on his face: "That's so unfair. You said you would favor me, but Zhizhi didn't even recognize me."

"Bad kid."
