I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

The morning air was cool and refreshing.

The climate is humid, and everything seems to be shrouded in a thin veil. The air is filled with a faint earthy smell, which is exceptionally fresh.

By 7 a.m., the area outside the competition venue was already packed with people.

Contestants went through security checks with their ID cards and admission tickets, and had to go through multiple security checks to ensure they had no metal objects or cheating devices before they could enter the venue. Everyone's face showed that they were on high alert.

The exam lasts for six hours, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., with no breaks. Everyone makes sure to get enough sleep the night before to ensure they are in good condition.

Tan Zhuoran and Qi Na arrived early, and Xie Yan also arrived by car on time.

Tan Qing was driving the car.

Xie Yan still didn't trust Xie Qingyu's driving skills, fearing that he might accidentally hit her with the gas pedal.

This seemingly reliable and dependable elite assistant is more reassuring.

After dropping Xie Yan off, Xie Qingyu sat in the back seat of the luxury car, watching her energetic figure through the window until she disappeared around the corner.

The tall, handsome man was clinging to the car window, gazing longingly with a look of disappointment on his face.

"Tan Qing, tell me, if someone suddenly becomes rich and has no pressure, why would she still need to study and work?"

Tan Qing's hands were still on the steering wheel. Looking through the rearview mirror, she saw Mr. Gu's somewhat confused expression and fell into deep thought.

He thought about it carefully and said, "That means this person doesn't live just to make money. He has a more exciting and rich inner world. He loves learning. Learning is a source of happiness for some people."

"........."

Xie Qingyu felt ashamed.

He is definitely not among these people.

However, it now seems likely that Xie Yan will be included.

The siblings hadn't seen each other for almost a month. If he hadn't acted impulsively yesterday and decided to catch them in the act, they might not have seen each other again for a long time.

When Xie Qingyu arrived yesterday and saw Xie Yan in that state, he felt really bad.

He thought that as the male protagonist of this world, it was only right for him to be a little tired, while Xie Yan should eat, drink, and have fun when she didn't have any missions, and enjoy life.

After all, she doesn't have any financial pressure here, and she doesn't have to take him along as a burden.

When he checked yesterday, Xie Yan was sick and had lost weight, which was not what he had imagined at all.

Xie Qingyu didn't know how to put it, but he had mixed feelings.

He rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought for a while.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he shifted his inquisitive gaze to the multifunctional assistant in front of him.

Tall, with regular features, and emotionally stable.

A returnee with a PhD from a prestigious overseas university, an intellectual, with a high IQ and a sharp mind.

She is 28 years old and, like Xie Yan, shares common interests.

He has a younger sister, and judging from his appearance, he has normal values ​​and respects women.

"Tan Qing, what do you think of Xie Yan?"

Xie Qingyu looked excited, as if he was stunned by his brilliant idea and amazed by his own intelligence.

Tan Qing was a little confused. "Miss Xie is quite nice. Although we haven't had much contact, after our brief time together in the car just now, I think Miss Xie is not like what's said online. She's very outstanding."

Coincidentally, his sister Tan Zhuoran and Xie Yan are classmates, and last night she mentioned some things about Xie Yan, which gave Tan Qing a preliminary understanding of Xie Yan.

Tan Qing really admires a girl who suddenly becomes motivated, hardworking, and intelligent.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu smiled with satisfaction.

You've got good taste, kid.

He'd made up his mind: he'd arrange a meeting between his sister and Tan Qing another day, so they could get to know each other.

If Xie Yan really wants to have a boyfriend, he should at least be a mature and reliable person around her age. Tan Qing is more suitable than Shen Yan.

Moreover, even if Tan Qing betrays them in the future, Xie Yan can still mediate and inform him, since they are family and shouldn't speak with each other.

Xie Qingyu was stunned by his own brilliant idea. How could he be so smart! He was simply incredibly clever!

Tan Qing had no idea what Xie Qingyu was planning, but seeing the strange light in his eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Xie Qingyu's expression softened, as if he had already imagined Tan Qing and Xie Yan's wedding scene, and his eyes were filled with excitement when he looked at Tan Qing.

Keep it up, brother-in-law!

I trust you!

------

The competition used computer-based answering, and the examination room was filled with the sounds of keyboards and mice clicking.

The candidates, who had been taking the exam for most of the day, all looked somewhat tired.

Although the organizers provided bread, milk, and other snacks during the exam, the intense mental exertion still left everyone exhausted.

This year's questions were especially difficult; they were beyond the capabilities of ordinary students.

But this was exactly Xie Yan's domain, who had been working at a high intensity for several years, especially the practical module. In six hours, she wrote five programs and completed two simulated attacks.

When the quiz ended at 2 p.m., Xie Yan was still a little dazed.

The quiz has been forcibly ended on everyone's computer screen.

A buzzing sound of complaints immediately filled the air.

"Damn, did the person who set this year's exam go crazy? What kind of ridiculous questions did they come up with?!"

"The questions were numerous and difficult! I left five of the major questions blank! Five of them, ahhhhh—"

"Who the hell would have thought they'd test header files and main functions? Who in their right mind practices this regularly? We've all forgotten all about it!"

"...I can't say anymore, I'm having a heart attack, going home to take my medicine..."

Xie Yan was still sitting in her seat, somewhat unaware of what was happening.

Hiss... Is it difficult?

It's not difficult.

Isn’t this just a matter of having hands?

That makes sense, considering everyone around is a group of students who haven't graduated yet.

"Xie Yan, Xie Yan! How did you do on the exam?"

A voice came from behind, and it was none other than Tan Zhuoran.

She seemed relatively relaxed. "Have you finished all the questions? Is there anyone who hasn't finished?"

Xie Yan shook her head, "I've finished answering all the questions, there are no blanks."

Tan Zhuoran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. It's good enough if we can finish this year's questions. It's all about participation! Let's go back to the hotel! We have to catch the bus back in a bit."

"it is good."

The tense competition has finally come to an end, and regardless of the outcome, everyone's tense spirits have relaxed.

After returning to the hotel and resting briefly, we had a simple meal before the teacher in charge organized everyone to return home.

Xie Yan was packing her things at the hotel when Xie Qingyu mentally asked her, "Sis, have you finished your exams? Do you want a ride home? Don't worry, Tan Qing is driving."

At this moment, Xie Qingyu was still plotting his own scheme, wanting Xie Yan to get to know Tan Qing first.

However, Xie Yan thought about it for a moment and then refused, saying, "I'll go back with the rest of the school. Our public image is that we've already broken off the engagement, so please be mindful of the impact."

"...Okay then." Xie Qingyu reluctantly agreed.

Yesterday, his impatience overcame his reason, and now that Xie Yan has said it, it's true.

Ugh, this damn character design.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone finally boarded the bus home.

They were all college students in their early twenties, and they were all very energetic after finishing their exams. The whole carriage was filled with the excited sounds of them comparing answers.

Those who come to participate are all quite capable. When they encounter different answers, they insist on arguing their point, and the two of them get together and refuse to accept each other's point.

It was noisy and chaotic.

Tan Zhuoran and Qi Na were closer, so they sat together, while Xie Yan found a window seat in the back row to relax and listen to music along the way.

What she didn't notice was that in the last row, in the corner, sat a boy wearing a black baseball cap and a mask, the brim pulled low so that his face was completely hidden, keeping a low profile.

Xie Yan had just put on her headphones when she felt someone gently poke her from behind.

When I turned around, I met a pair of dark eyes.

His face was small, and the mask covered most of it, leaving only his eyebrows and eyes visible. He smiled at Xie Yan and even winked playfully.

Xie Yan froze for a moment when she saw those eyes, then exclaimed in surprise, "You—"

Shen Yan quickly put his hand to his lips in a "shh" gesture, and Xie Yan immediately fell silent, then turned around and looked around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xie Yan lowered her voice again, "You got on the wrong bus? What are you doing on this bus? Didn't you take attendance over there?"

The number of people on the bus was divided according to their majors. Xie Yan and Shen Yan were not on the same bus when they arrived.

The boy, who only had his eyes out, shook his head, his voice cool and refreshing like a spring.

"I did it on purpose, I missed you."

The boy arched his beautiful eyebrows, his eyes shining as if they were sprinkled with stars.

Xie Yan could even clearly see her own reflection and her stunned expression in his clear, dark eyes.

It's said that Asians are reserved and introverted, but Xie Yan had never heard such an unexpected expression of longing. She was stunned for two seconds, her heart inexplicably racing from this direct approach.

"...Okay, well, yesterday afternoon your brother and I..."

Xie Yan recalled the awkward and hurried scene when they parted yesterday, and was thinking about how to explain it when a cool, large hand reached out and landed on her forehead.

"It's okay, the fever has gone down."

Shen Yan seemed to have a consistently low body temperature, like a piece of fine, cool jade. Xie Yan felt the slightly cool temperature on her forehead, but was also drawn to the emotions in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, I made you sick. It's my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you."

The boy's voice suddenly lowered. Although Xie Yan couldn't see the lower half of his face, she could guess that Shen Yan was probably nervously biting his lip again.

This child seems to bite his lower lip whenever he's upset.

Xie Yan looked at him for two seconds, then reached out and patted the empty seat next to her.

"Sit over here, my neck hurts from twisting it back."

"……Oh."

Shen Yan obediently got up, changed seats, and sat down next to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan had a high fever all day yesterday, and her throat was sore and hoarse, so painful that she couldn't speak. In the afternoon, she went to watch the competition, and she was out of breath even when walking, so the two of them didn't have much in-depth communication.

Shen Yan had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but Xie Yan's condition yesterday was not suitable, not to mention that Xie Yan was taken away by someone in the evening, so she had no chance.

"There's no one behind you, take off your mask, it's making me feel suffocated."

"it is good."

The boy obediently took off his mask, revealing a fair and delicate face. His beautiful eyes were fixed on Xie Yan, as if he would do whatever Xie Yan said.

Humans are creatures who are attracted to good looks, and Xie Yan is no exception.

Looking at Shen Yan's handsome appearance, she couldn't help but linger her gaze for a couple more seconds.

Xie Yan suddenly thought of Bai Xiao. That stubborn mule became a top star at such a young age, and it wasn't just because of his looks. But Shen Yan is no less impressive than Bai Xiao. If he just went to be an artist and showed his face, he would definitely become famous all over Asia.

Xie Yan looked away and regained her composure.

"You lied to me, and I'm really angry."

Two or three days later, Xie Yan was finally able to vent the anger she felt at the cemetery that day.
