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

Shen Yan has really matured a lot.

He delivered his speech with composure under the spotlight, exuding an elegant charm in every gesture.

Even his fingers holding the microphone were long and slender, like the joints of a toy doll.

Some people in the audience couldn't help but whisper to their companions, guessing that this second young master must have received aristocratic education in his childhood.

After a while, Gu Jinhua also went on stage.

Gu Jinhua was dressed in a dark Zhongshan suit, exuding a calm and composed demeanor and a commanding presence.

But his face was full of smiles, and he even affectionately put his arm around Shen Yan's shoulder, looking like a loving father and son. He then delivered a deeply moving speech about being a loving father.

In his words, he wove a perfect life for Shen Yan.

He believes that now that Jiang Yuanfeng has stopped causing trouble, Shen Yan is now his legitimate son, and since he will be frequently involved in the entertainment industry, Shen Yan's past experiences are no longer worth mentioning.

He has a mentally ill mother and has lived in an orphanage. It's too shameful to talk about it. Where would he put his old face?

His son, Gu Jinhua's son, must be perfect.

So, the audience listened to Gu Jinhua recount Shen Yan's background with emotion.

Born into a privileged environment, she studied abroad and received a high-end elite education. She won numerous awards abroad, achieved excellent grades, and was surrounded by accolades and adulation.

"I never knew the youngest son of the Gu family was so outstanding. How come I've never heard of him before?"

"I heard a couple of years ago that he got the top score in the exam, he's really quite outstanding. The Gu family has kept such a talented son very well hidden..."

"I think this is a sign; I reckon he'll be changing his surname soon!"

The boy on stage remained calm and composed, occasionally adding a few words with a smile.

It's as if he really was an elite who grew up in a perfect environment, with a harmonious family and a happy childhood.

Xie Yan's face was cold and sullen, and she cursed Gu Jinhua, that old bastard, eight hundred times in her heart.

Damn it, Gu Jinhua is a real scoundrel.

He couldn't control his lust and harmed his wife and children, but in the end, he despised his children's past experiences and put on a show for the sake of saving face.

It's really disgusting.

If she had known this would happen, she should have thrown shit in his face when she saw the younger version of Gu Laoliu as a child.

After another while, the speeches finally ended, and the banquet officially began.

As soon as Shen Yan stepped off the stage, he was immediately surrounded by all sorts of people.

Men and women, each with a different expression.

Pushing cups and changing cups, drinking and drinking together.

There are many young women in the circle. Shen Yan has a superior appearance, and with his various accolades today, many people want to get to know him.

When Xie Yan rushed over, she saw Shen Yan, dressed in white, smiling and talking to a sexy woman opposite him, looking like he was in a good mood.

He exchanged contact information with the other party, clinked glasses and drank, and they seemed to be having a very pleasant conversation.

Just as Xie Yan was about to step forward, a large hand swiftly grabbed her wrist and pulled her to a less crowded corner.

Dressed in a black suit, Xie Qingyu held a glass of champagne in one hand and looked at Xie Yan in disbelief. "Sis, what brings you here? Did Shen Yan send you? Or is there a mission?"

Xie Yan shook her head, her eyes still glancing at Shen Yan from time to time. "No, I came with my teacher. Gu's Group invested in our project, so my teacher received an invitation."

As she spoke, she saw Shen Yan clink glasses with someone else again and drink it all in one gulp.

They've already drunk several cups in a short time.

Xie Qingyu was rambling on and on, but Xie Yan wasn't listening. She asked, "Do you usually drink like this at business dinners? Doesn't it make you feel unwell?"

Judging from Shen Yan's drinking habits, she could guess what Xie Qingyu's usual work-related social interactions were like.

But Xie Qingyu never told her that.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu followed Xie Yan's gaze and understood what she wanted to say.

Xie Qing chuckled, "That's how it was at first, but now I've learned to avoid drinking. I've been holding this glass of champagne for over half an hour since the banquet started and haven't drunk it yet. Shen Yan is definitely still in the first stage, honestly competing to see who can drink the most."

Xie Yan glanced at him and said, "Well, kids should drink less alcohol."

Xie Qingyu, whose physical age is also twenty: ...

After saying that, she took the champagne from Xie Qingyu's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

She was thirsty.

Fruity champagne isn't spicy, has a low alcohol content, is slightly bubbly, sweet, and quite refreshing.

"Alright, I was just about to ask you, what's going on with Shen Yan today? His birthday celebration was even more extravagant than Gu Jinhua's?"

However, this question happened to touch on Xie Qingyu's blind spot.

Because this part of the plot has deviated from the original work by a huge margin.

In the original text, Shen Yan was lame and gloomy, not to mention outstanding. He was the kind of person who would scare children to tears. No one in the Gu family looked up to him. He was lucky if he wasn't bullied by the servants, so where would he get a birthday banquet?

What happened today was a complete deviation from the original plot.

Xie Qingyu had always felt puzzled. It seemed that something was wrong from the very beginning when Shen Yan changed his name to Shen Yan. His name was changed, his leg was no longer lame, and his personality had changed a lot. It felt like a bug had appeared in a game character, which caused the plot to change drastically.

Seeing the simple-minded expression on Xie Qingyu's handsome face, Xie Yan sighed.

"Okay, it's fine, go have fun."

------

In the lounge, an elegantly dressed woman was carefully applying lipstick in front of the mirror.

Jiang Yuanfeng was in a good mood. Her makeup was exquisite and perfect, and her complexion was rosy.

Her full, luscious lips added a touch of femininity to her cool and aloof demeanor.

"And the dog?"

"Madam, the dog has been drugged and is still searching for it everywhere. She's throwing a huge tantrum, which might not be a good thing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuanfeng curled his lips into a smile. "It's alright, let her make a scene."

Han Cancan is the only daughter of the Han family, and she is spoiled and rude.

Her mother and Jiang Yuanfeng didn't get along, and she had made a lot of sarcastic remarks about Jiang Yuanfeng over the years. Han Cancan's dog was even more oblivious, barking at Jiang Yuanfeng every time it saw him, making a lot of noise.

Jiang Yuanfeng knew that Han Cancan would take her dead dog with her wherever she went, so he decided to get rid of it today.

She glanced down at her watch.

It's almost time.

The Sofitel Hotel is located by the river, where a vast river stretches out and occasionally boats dock.

When the banquet was in full swing, the guests learned that there was also a fireworks display to watch, so they moved to the hotel's open-air terrace.

The terrace is huge, and the venue is still decorated with exquisite and luxurious touches, with tables and drinks readily available.

In front of you is a bustling river view, and behind you are towering hotel buildings.

Aside from the cold weather, it has no drawbacks.

As night falls, the river surface glistens, resembling a black ribbon inlaid with countless jewels.

A loud bang ripped through the night sky, and the fireworks kept changing shapes, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.

As the colorful fireworks intensified, the vibrant lights swayed gracefully on the water's surface, echoing the beautiful scenery in the sky, creating a breathtaking scene.

Almost everyone was captivated by the beautiful scenery before them.

As the host today, Shen Yan stood near the main table behind everyone, his lips slightly pursed, one hand on the table and the other rubbing his temples.

He drank too much today. Although it doesn't show on his face, he's actually a bit out of it now.

Xie Yan stood in the corner, holding a glass of low-alcohol red wine, but didn't drink a drop.

She dared not drink it anymore.

She hadn't drunk much alcohol today, but her face was flushed, her heart was racing, and she was breathing rapidly. Now, even her eyes were burning, and she was so dizzy that she had to lean against the wall to stand up.

Xie Yan guessed that she might have accidentally drunk a glass of strong liquor and was afraid of getting drunk and making mistakes, so she didn't dare to drink any more and just held it in her hand as a decoration.

She secretly observed Shen Yan, and occasionally went to keep Teacher Zheng company and get to know teachers from other fields, but found that the banquet was almost over and nothing seemed to have happened.

However, Xie Yan might not be in a good state right now; she really feels like her brain is having a lot of trouble processing.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Fireworks burst forth on the river, their booming sounds filling the air.

Behind them, the windows of the hotel building were quietly opened.

Xie Yan squinted and looked up, only to see a huge creature suddenly rush out of the window!

And directly below the window is the main table, which is where Shen Yan is located!

Holy shit! !

Xie Yan was instantly jolted awake!

"Shen Yan!!!"

As Xie Yan cried out in surprise, several more booming sounds echoed across the river, engulfing her voice, and no one paid any attention.

Shen Yan looked up from the noisy fireworks as if struck by a realization, and the next second, a heavy object slammed down beside him!

It was a large dog weighing over 100 pounds.

The dog almost grazed Shen Yan's arm as it fell to the ground. It was unclear which floor it had fallen from, but the force was so great that it even bounced on the ground.

The dog's head was smashed to pieces, and warm blood splattered everywhere, mixed with white liquid, spreading on the ground.

Their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Shen Yan instantly tensed up.

His white suit was now splattered with blood. The boy stood in a pool of blood, and the dog on the ground was still convulsing nervously, its sharp claws scratching at Shen Yan's ankle.

Xie Yan sensed something was wrong and immediately ran over, kicking the dog's corpse under the table. The long tablecloth completely covered the dog, and she quickly looked at Shen Yan, still shaken.

The boy's eyes were unfocused, his face was frighteningly pale, and his lips were completely bloodless.

tick.

tick.

tick.

It was the sound of blood dripping down.

The thick, sticky blood splattered all over his face, and the woman's corpse seemed to be pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

A long-absent red figure was reflected in her dark pupils. She stood in the corner of the crowd, her face covered in blood as she stared at Shen Yan.

In fact, the incident happened very quickly, in just a few seconds. Some guests realized that the loud noise did not seem to be coming from the river in front of them, so they turned around to check.

In her haste, Xie Yan quickly splashed red wine onto Shen Yan's white suit, the purplish-red liquid barely covering the traces of blood.

If so many people discover Shen Yan's current state, he'll only be heading to a mental hospital next.

"what!"

A female customer covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, her eyes wide open as she stared intently at the scene behind her.

Influenced by her, others soon followed suit and turned to look.

Most people were gathered by the railing at the edge of the terrace watching the fireworks. When they looked back, they saw a man and a woman kissing behind the empty main table.

The girl grabbed the boy's collar and pulled him down, leaving him covered in red wine stains. He looked somewhat bewildered, as if he had just been kissed.

Upon closer inspection, holy crap, isn't this today's main character, Shen Yan?!

More and more eyes were prying at her, but Xie Yan had no idea what was happening to her. She had only thought about dealing with the situation and getting away with it, but as they kissed, she suddenly felt hotter and hotter, her head was spinning, her limbs were weak, and she could barely stand.

But Shen Yan was clearly even more confused than she was.

Xie Yan's breath was hot, and she struggled to regain a little bit of her rationality. Her lips parted, and she was almost touching Shen Yan's ear, breathing hot air into his mouth.

"Don't look at her, she's fake. Look at me, look at me..."

"Shen Yan..."

The boy's eyes were bloodshot. After a long while, he finally turned his dark pupils, stiff and labored like an old, malfunctioning machine. His voice was frighteningly hoarse.

"elder sister......"

"Yes, I'm here, don't be afraid."

By this point, Xie Yan's rationality was almost completely exhausted.

She knew that her current state was definitely not normal, but there was no time to think about it now.

Kiss her first, she's dying of thirst!!!

......

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu, what's wrong!"

Tan Qing was startled and quickly helped the man beside her who was about to kneel down.

Xie Qingyu stared blankly at the seemingly romantic scene before him, his legs weak and his face ashen, his mouth half-open, as if his soul had flown out of his mouth.

Some people may appear to be alive, but they have actually been dead for a while.

Can anyone tell him why Xie Yan and Shen Yan were passionately kissing?

Why!!!!!

Wasn't Shen Yan's affections all one-sided?

Why is Xie Yan grabbing Shen Yan by the collar and kissing him now?!

Good heavens!!!

I'll never call you "Grandpa" again!!!

You don't treat me like a servant at all!

Xie Qingyu was deeply shocked, feeling as if he had lost half his life.

The guests were shocked, and no one noticed the ugly expressions on Jiang Yuanfeng and Xie Yutong's faces.

Xie Yutong, in particular, had been waiting in the private room for a long time without seeing Mr. Gu come up. Now she found that Mr. Gu was actually in a normal state, clear-headed, and showed no signs of being a beast.

It shouldn't be.

She put a lot of drugs in the champagne she gave to Mr. Gu.

That dosage was enough to make a tall, strong man like Mr. Gu lose his mind.

Clearly, Xie Yutong's plan failed.

Mr. Gu did not lose his beastly nature.

Xie Yan's animalistic nature was unleashed.

She didn't remember how she and Shen Yan got to the hotel room, nor how the banquet ended; she only remembered Shen Yan's wet eyes when he was pushed onto the bed.

He was clearly not fully recovered and was being manipulated.

Xie Yan's hair, which had been styled in a bun at the back of her head, had become disheveled at some point. Her mind was in complete chaos, and she had reached her limit.

Shen Yan's condition is also precarious.

He drank a lot of alcohol and his mind was in a mess. The nightmarish scene trapped him in it, but fortunately someone woke him up this time.

He felt like he had grasped a lifeline and would never let go of it for the rest of his life.

However, the brief contact was not enough to satisfy him.

Shen Yan suddenly grabbed Xie Yan's wrist and pulled her closer.

He wanted more.

No sleep for one night.
