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

"Junior sister, what are you doing?"

Inside the lab, Kong Bo watched intently as the girl fiddled with the programs on the screen in front of her.

Xie Yan didn't even look up. "We need to work on the AI's memory function. I think our progress is still too slow at this stage. Our AI program's communication is still too cold and impersonal."

"..."

Kong Bo wants to say that AI itself is inherently lacking in human warmth!

Moreover, they only recently discovered that this new junior sister is an absolute genius at currying favor!

In class, she always insisted on sitting in the first row.

During the hands-on practice, she was the last one to leave the lab.

Professor Zheng is such a strict old lady when it comes to teaching. She often scolds them like they're her grandchildren, but she's always kind and gentle to Xie Yan, telling her to get more rest and not to overwork herself.

However, Xie Yan was indeed not tired.

She is energetic and has plenty of stamina, and she doesn't have much to do. Xie Qingyu has been busy with work lately and we don't contact each other much, so she comes home alone. The house is too big, so it inevitably feels lonely.

Although Xie Yan used to find Xie Qingyu annoying, she also found...

...But as time went on, she felt increasingly lonely and had no sense of belonging.

Sometimes she couldn't control her thoughts and would occasionally think of that person, but he didn't seem to come to school much anymore, only two or three times a week, so it was unlikely that she would run into him.

There were a few times when she was so disoriented that she felt as if he were right beside her, which was incredibly absurd.

As expected, spending too much time alone makes it easy to overthink, so Xie Yan focused her attention on her studies and work.

Next to the computer desk was a metal workbench, on which sat a cylindrical object with a rather unrefined-looking shell, on which Xie Yan had reluctantly stuck two stickers to make eyes.

Although it doesn't have a human form, it has eyes, making it at least recognizable as a "robot" made by Xie Yan.

The top of the cylinder was a small speaker, and a cable was connected to the computer at the bottom. Xie Yan fiddled with it for a while, then turned to look at the ugly thing she had made herself.

"Little potato".

"I'm here, Master. What are your orders?"

The ugly thing's voice is a sweet child's voice, but it has a heavy mechanical tone and doesn't really sound like a real person.

Xie Yan cleared her throat. "I was in a bad mood the day before yesterday. Do you remember why? Have you come up with a solution?"

"I remember, Master was saddened by Iron Man's death. I've come up with a plan; I'll bring Iron Man back to life right now!"

Kong Bo couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hahaha, junior sister, you ugly thing are quite interesting, you can even bring people back to life. But what TV show is Iron Man from?"

Xie Yan paused, then, realizing that Marvel might not exist in this world, vaguely said it was from a comic book.

There were fewer people in the lab in the evening. Xie Yan, who had spent the afternoon training the ugly thing, went to the cafeteria for dinner with her senior, Kong Bo.

She's been eating at the cafeteria most of the time lately. After all, it's not easy to cook for one person; if you cook too much, you won't be able to eat it all, so Xie Yan has become too lazy to cook.

The cafeteria was crowded during mealtime, so the two of them casually ordered a bowl of noodles with soybean paste and sat in a corner.

Zhang Yang had a lot of classes in his first year, and he would rush to the cafeteria as soon as get out of class ended, but there were so many people that there were no empty seats.

"Forget it, Zhang Yang, let's go check out the second cafeteria again..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Yang's eyes lit up. "I saw my senior brothers and sisters! Let's go! Let's share a table!"

Even in an inconspicuous corner, Xie Yan looks exceptionally exquisite and beautiful, even when she's wearing the most common hoodie. She looks like she's filming an advertisement while eating noodles, making it hard for people not to notice her.

"Senior sister! Senior brother! There are no seats left in the cafeteria, can I sit with you?"

Xie Yan looked over at the sound and saw the only junior brother younger than her from the last dinner party standing next to her with his classmate, both of them smiling.

"Of course, have a seat."

So the two of them brought over two more servings of rice.

Zhang Yang's classmate was a student of another professor. This was the first time he had been in close contact with Xie Yan. He was so amazed by her beauty that he kept his head down and ate his rice without even looking up.

Zhang Yang, on the other hand, kept chattering away, like an outgoing trumpet flower, extremely friendly.

"Hey, senior sister, I saw Shen Yan when I took you home before. Why haven't I seen him with you lately?"

Zhang Yang asked curiously.

Although he admitted that he was stunned by Xie Yan's beauty before, after seeing Shen Yan, he felt that the two were a perfect match and that he was some kind of monster who dared to have such fantasies.

So Zhang Yang became a Buddhist.

Xie Yan's hand trembled slightly as she picked up the noodles; the chopsticks slipped, and the noodles slid down the side. Her movements were somewhat stiff.

"He recently changed his major and has been quite busy."

Zhang Yang frowned. "What are you so busy with? My buddy from the finance department said he hardly ever comes to class anymore. Senior, don't be fooled by him. Men with money turn bad. He's going back to inherit the family business and won't even come to school anymore, not even to spend time with you..."

Xie Yan choked, "Actually, we're not in that kind of relationship..."

Zhang Yang immediately perked up upon hearing this, his eyes widening and his eyebrows standing on end.

"Oh? That's even worse! Senior sister, let me tell you, I saw him go to the temple to pray for a peace charm the other day, and I saw him kowtowing loudly at the temple of the Old Man Under the Moon! If it wasn't you, there must have been someone else! He's actually living in your house with someone else! That's too much!"

Upon hearing this, Kong Bo and the other boy exchanged bewildered glances.

They both saw in each other's eyes the helplessness of being forced to watch the drama unfold.

I have no intention of prying into your privacy, Smith Marseille.

Vadasi didn't mean to hear that.

Xie Yan, on the other hand, was taken aback. She asked in confusion, "A while ago? When?"

She had only received one amulet, which was something Shen Yan made to catch ghosts during the National Day holiday in October. She lost it later, but found it again on the day she kicked Shen Yan out, so she threw it down for him.

There was only one.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang turned around and rummaged through his schoolbag, taking out a small brocade pouch from it.

"That's how it looks. All the amulets in that temple look like this, and they're kept in embroidered pouches. It's one of their specialties. Many people go there specifically to take pictures, and I bought one too."

Xie Yan took the little thing that looked exactly like the one in her memory, and frowned, "Did you go in September?"

Zhang Yang shook his head, "No, I just went there last month, it's almost winter and it's so cold up in the mountains..."

He shook his head as he reminisced, "You guys don't know, when I was climbing the mountain I heard passersby say that Shen Yan knelt all the way up, kowtowing the whole way, it was really impressive. But when he got to the top, he asked for this thing, and then went to various temples to pray. I guessed at the time that something must have happened to him, but I never expected him to be this kind of person..."

Kong Bo and another boy silently ate their rice, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

As Xie Yan listened, she unconsciously tightened her grip on the amulet, her fingertips turning white.

Although Xie Yan had previously driven the person away with a ruthless attitude, as if she wanted to never see them again, she still had this premonition.

The amulet that Shen Yan asked for was definitely for her; it was for no one else.

She understood Shen Yan's life; it was tragic, pitiful, and twisted, and he had no one he could be close to.

Only her.

Only Xie Yan.

She was the source of all of Shen Yan's emotional fluctuations. Whether it was gratitude or various feelings that had changed, all of Shen Yan's emotions were directed towards her.

He actually kowtowed and knelt all the way up the mountain; such a solemn act could only be for Xie Yan.

For a moment, Xie Yan's face turned serious, and her heart pounded heavily in her chest.

She had no idea.

The key point is that Shen Yan didn't tell her either.

Zhang Yang, who was talking non-stop across from her, finally stopped to take a sip of water, and only then did she notice her senior sister's unpleasant expression.

He was immediately stunned, and suddenly realized that he had really brought up the most sensitive topic!

"Um... well, senior sister! It's okay! There are plenty of fish in the sea, why be hung up on just one!"

Zhang Yang glanced to his right, patted his senior brother on the shoulder, and said, "Look at my senior brother Kong! He's 1.8 meters tall, has a master's degree, is strong and powerful, and has a bright future!"

Kong Bo was so startled he almost spat out noodles from his nostrils. He shoved Zhang Yang's hand away, yelling, "Let go of me! I have a girlfriend!!"

Zhang Yang sheepishly withdrew his hand and looked at his classmate.

……

...She's not even as handsome as him.

Just as the atmosphere at the table became awkward, a cheerful female voice drifted over.

"Xie Yan? Long time no see."

The girl was wearing a brand-new designer sheepskin coat and an expensive diamond ring. She was radiant, her eyes seemed to sparkle, and she exuded charm.

Xie Yan's eyes were cool. "...Wen Yutong? Is there something you need?"

Xie Yutong sat down at the next table with a cup of milk tea in her hand, looking down at people with an air of superiority as if they were ants. "I've already changed my name. My surname is Xie now. As for you, are you still reluctant to leave the Xie family? Why haven't you changed your surname yet?"

"There are plenty of people in the world with the surname Xie. Are you now going to meddle in other people's affairs even because of their surnames? Do you expect me to taste the manure every time I see someone carrying it?"

"you!"

Xie Yutong suddenly lost her appetite when she looked at the brown milk tea in her cup.

However, she quickly composed herself and smiled, brushing her hair behind her ear to reveal the ring on her hand.

This ring was a gift from Aunt Jiang, and she and Aunt Jiang have a very good relationship now.

Jiang Yuanfeng saw through the essence of love and no longer cared about social status or business marriages. She only wanted to find a loyal and devoted wife for her son, so she was very satisfied with Xie Yutong and gave her the ring she wore when she got married.

The intention is quite clear.

"Aunt Jiang said she likes me very much, and I'm her future daughter-in-law." Xie Yutong's boasting was evident.

Xie Yan's expression was indescribable.

"Xie Qing... President Gu doesn't think much of you, you'd better wake up sooner rather than later."

Xie Yutong narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, "You're the one who needs to wake up! You can't get close to President Gu, so you try to get close to Shen Yan. Everyone knows what you're up to! So what if Shen Yan is riding high right now? Do you think he can keep this up for long!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan's expression changed. "What do you mean?"

Realizing she had let something slip, Xie Yutong pursed her lips sheepishly, "Given his status, President Gu certainly wouldn't let him act arrogantly. In the end, he'll definitely be kicked out."

After saying that, Xie Yutong didn't care about Xie Yan's reaction, turned around and urged her friend, then pulled her friend away.

Xie Yan's face was somber, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not. She said she was full and left quickly.

The three people left at the table looked at each other in bewilderment.

The young boy, who hadn't said a word until now, took a bite of rice and sighed inwardly, "The lives of the wealthy are so complicated..."

Zhang Yang nodded, "A well-off family is pretty good too..."

Kong Bo sighed, "In the end, socialism is still better, and the people have a high sense of happiness."

Zhang Yang turned around in shock, "No, senior brother, you're talking so boldly, are you going to take the civil service exam??"

Kong Bo flashed a bright smile, revealing eight teeth, and said, "No, I'm a Party member."
