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

Xie Qingyu took the fastest flight, but it didn't land until the next morning.

As soon as I exited the airport, Tan Qing was already waiting outside in her car.

Tan Qing had just arrived in Beicheng from Yunchuan. He drove with a serious expression, glancing at Xie Qingyu, who looked dazed, in the rearview mirror.

He had clearly not slept all night; his eyes were bloodshot, and he was staring blankly out the window, showing little reaction.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Xie is a lucky person. We'll be at the hospital in a bit..."

Tan Qing's calm voice rang out in the carriage, but Xie Qingyu ignored it.

The saying "Good people are always blessed" offered him no comfort.

Because Xie Yan's life points had already dropped to 0 yesterday, it means that Xie Qingyu will not be able to see her in this world.

Unless he returns after completing his mission.

His mission will take at least another ten or eight years to complete, which is almost half of his life.

That's not all; the real problem is that Xie Yan didn't even say goodbye before leaving, catching him completely off guard.

All their previous discussions about the mission and whether they should stay or leave were for nothing.

Xie Qingyu felt very sad at the thought that there would never be anyone in this world who truly knew him again.

Doesn't that mean he'll have to wait many more years before he can see his sister again?

As he thought about it, Xie Qingyu was about to shed tears again.

However, 2222's next words dealt him an even heavier blow.

Something seems off. I checked and found that Xie Yan's points are problematic; she hasn't reached the target.

Xie Qingyu's head was throbbing, and his reactions were somewhat slow. […What does that mean? What happens if the goal isn't met? Why didn't she meet it? Didn't she complete every single task? What happened to her points?]

2222 paused for a moment.

There is a connection between systems. It can sense that there are no other systems in this world now, and Xie Yan's previous data is now exposed to it without any protection.

2222 carefully observed the fluctuations in Xie Yan's various stats. [Her points were reset to zero the night she spent with Shen Yan during the provincial competition last year, and half of her health was also deducted at the same time.]

Clear all at once.

Deduct health points.

These unfamiliar words left Xie Qingyu feeling completely bewildered.

Why did my points get reset to zero? And what's with the loss of health points? Why are they being deducted out of nowhere?

Suddenly, Xie Qingyu remembered the first time he drove a car in his life that day, rushing to Jianghai to find Xie Yan. At that time, Xie Yan was indeed running a high fever and was extremely weak, having difficulty even walking.

So it was because half of your health was deducted back then?

But why exactly?

And I don't have enough points...

Xie Qingyu's heart suddenly started pounding wildly, and even his eyelids twitched ominously. A terrible guess suddenly came to his mind, but he didn't even dare to ask.

As if an invisible hand had gripped his throat, Xie Qingyu felt a bitter taste and numbness in his tongue.

The sound of 2222 continues, but today it sounds inexplicably mechanical and cruel.

Judging from Xie Yan's final score of only 20,000 points, her mission failed.

[Sorry, host, Xie Yan might...]

[He's really dead.]

------

Beicheng First Hospital.

The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Qi Na opened her eyes as the sunlight stung her.

She was lying in bed wearing a hospital gown, her arm in a cast due to a fracture. As soon as she woke up, she saw Tan Zhuoran sitting by the bedside, his eyes red.

Qi Na fainted yesterday and didn't see what happened afterward, so she asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you alright? Where is everyone else? Are they all okay?"

Tan Zhuoran choked up as he said, "Shen Yan is still in critical condition, but Xie Yan... is gone."

"Gone? What do you mean by gone??"

Qi Na was shocked and sat up abruptly from the hospital bed. However, before she could ask any questions, she heard a loud commotion outside.

The intensive care unit was downstairs from them. At that moment, a man rushed into the intensive care unit. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had lost his mind.

Xie Qingyu looked at the pale boy on the hospital bed wearing a ventilator. His chest was heaving wildly as he gasped for breath, shouting Shen Yan's name as if he were going crazy.

"Shen Yan!! You bastard!! Wake up!!!"

Xie Qingyu ripped off Shen Yan's ventilator, grabbed his hair and choked him, completely breaking down and losing all reason.

Tears streamed down his face, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to solidify, as if he wanted to strangle the unconscious person on the hospital bed.

The security guards behind him were pulling him back, but Xie Qingyu remained unmoved. However, the thought of 2222 in his mind prevented him from actually strangling Shen Yan to death.

Then an electric current struck, and Xie Qingyu lost his strength and was finally pulled away.

Tan Qing had never seen Xie Qingyu so out of control; he really seemed like a madman.

...No, he's just crazy.

Tan Qing watched Xie Qingyu leave in a daze, and then watched him go to the morgue to see Xie Yan's remains.

The morgue was too cold. Xie Qingyu looked at the white sheet in front of him, his hands trembling uncontrollably, and he dared not lift it.

He was so scared, really scared.

He knelt down in the morgue and wept bitterly, his heart breaking with grief.

At this moment, the handsome and dashing CEO Gu was no longer the domineering and unruly man he usually was, and he cried like a child.

Tan Qing had never known he had such deep feelings for Xie Yan before. Hearing his breakdown and crying, his eyes welled up with tears as well.

It wasn't just Tan Qing who was affected by the emotions; Xie Yan was also affected.

She was now in a familiar, pure white space. It was empty and there was no one there, yet she could see everything that was happening.

Xie Yan knew Xie Qingyu would be sad, but when she saw this scene with her own eyes, she couldn't stop crying.

She wanted to tell Xie Qingyu not to cry, that she wasn't dead, but there was nothing she could do right now.

The system transformed into a ball of light and floated leisurely in front of Xie Yan, its tone irritable.

[You should thank me! I returned all the points I took from you before, so you can "watch TV" here! What are you crying for?! I'm the one who should be crying! I haven't earned a single penny after working all this time!]

Xie Yan reached out and touched the ball of light. It felt warm and soft to the touch. She choked up and said, "I'm sorry, thank you so much."

She was truly prepared to die, but to her surprise, the system showed mercy and saved her.

The system wasn't used to being touched, but surprisingly, it found Xie Yan's touch quite comfortable, so it hummed twice in an unfriendly tone, "So, do you still want to watch?"

Xie Yan nodded and said softly, "We'll see."

After all, every glance is one less chance to see them.

Okay, okay, I've really done something terrible.

As soon as the system finished speaking, the scene in front of Xie Yan changed.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xie Qingyu laid her body to rest for seven days, preparing for cremation on the eighth day.

On the seventh night, Xie Qingyu sat by the coffin and drank a lot of wine.

Shen Yan, having just passed the critical period, slowly regained consciousness and arrived at Xie Yan's mourning hall.

His eyes were unfocused, his already thin frame was now emaciated, and his face was deathly pale, making him look like a corpse.

Unsurprisingly, Shen Yan was knocked out by Xie Qingyu.

Xie Qingyu snatched Shen Yan's cane and punched him to the ground, his eyes dark and red.

"How dare you show your face here?! Do you know that forcing her to acknowledge you cost her half her life?! And she actually used the rest of her life to date you?!"

Xie Qingyu already knows everything from 2222.

Xie Yan had only told him about her interactions with Shen Yan ten years ago, but she hadn't mentioned that the price of recognizing Shen Yan was so high.

He never expected that inviting Xie Yan to his home for a meal would trigger Shen Yan's possessiveness, leading him to lock Xie Yan in the house for several days.

Even though he knew Xie Yan was definitely capable of escaping, Xie Qingyu felt a pang of heartache at the thought that Xie Yan had been treated that way by Shen Yan because of him, and he even felt like killing Shen Yan.

Shen Yan lay motionless on the ground, his thin fingers gripping the earth tightly, blood trickling from his fingertips.

The cane was raised high and then slammed down, landing violently on Shen Yan's injured leg. "Who do you think you are! You're just taking advantage of her kindness! She shouldn't have saved you in the first place!"

"Let me tell you, she'd even save stray cats and dogs on the street. You're no different from those cats and dogs!! You don't deserve to treat her like that!! You're nothing but a fart!!!"

Xie Qingyu vented his emotions with red eyes, but Shen Yan did not resist, only saying softly, "I could have saved her."

Xie Qingyu was stunned for a moment.

Shen Yan's voice was so hoarse that it sounded like that of a dying man. "Jiang Yuanfeng sent people to kill me. If it weren't for her, I could have stopped Li Chuan."

The cane fell to the ground, and Xie Qingyu staggered back a few steps, looking utterly exhausted. "Why didn't you just kill Li Chuan? You should have nipped the bud in the bud."

"You killed her..."

Xie Qingyu didn't know how he left the funeral hall. When he came back the next day, Shen Yan had already left, the coffin lid had been closed, and several people were loading it into a car to be sent to the crematorium.

One of them muttered, "Why is this coffin so heavy..."

Another older man glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh." The man immediately shut up.

Xie Qingyu's eyes were dark and his chin was covered with bluish stubble. He seemed to have become a different person in just a few days. He got into the car to send Xie Yan off on her final journey.

This was Xie Qingyu's first time visiting a crematorium, and he and the staff helped carry the coffin inside.

However, just as they were about to carry the person out and put them into the incinerator, the staff screamed in alarm as soon as the incinerator opened.

There were two people lying inside!

The slender boy tightly embraced the charred corpse. He had extremely beautiful features, and there was even a faint smile on his lips. His face was as white as paper, and his fate was unknown.

The wound on his wrist was so deep that the bone was visible, and the blood flowing out was enough to stain all his clothes red.

Seeing that he still dared to hug Xie Yan, Xie Qingyu's blood rushed to his head. He went berserk, grabbed Shen Yan by the collar, pulled him out, and threw him to the ground. He was full of rage and kicked him hard in the head, body, legs, and stomped on his knees.

Each kick was thunderous and powerful, enough to cause serious injury.

"If you want to die, go die somewhere else! Get out of here!! Get out!!!"

…………

The system turned off the screen. Xie Yan gasped for breath, clutching her chest, feeling like she couldn't breathe.

She really couldn't breathe.

Sigh, I didn't recommend you watch this in the first place, but you insisted. Now look what happened, you're crying even harder.

Xie Yan covered her face, her voice choked with sobs, "I didn't want this to happen, I really..."

Xie Yan almost didn't recognize Xie Qingyu, who looked so menacing in the video.

She simply couldn't imagine that the cheerful little husky she had raised could become so fierce.

And Shen Yan is even more...

After a long while, Xie Yan raised her head blankly, only now remembering to ask, "Shen Yan came to Beicheng with me, right? What exactly happened in the car accident?"

[Li Chuan, now disabled, wanted to run you over, and Jiang Yuanfeng also hired someone to run over Shen Yan, resulting in a chain-reaction car accident.]

After your car overturned, Li Chuan was about to crash into it again, but Shen Yan drove up and crashed into him, blocking the way for you. However, his car was then hit by people hired by Jiang Yuanfeng, and he was stabbed twice, so he didn't have the strength to take you to the hospital.

The ball of light sighed again and flew to Xie Yan's cheek. "But don't worry, Shen Yan's vitality is quite strong. His story isn't over yet, so he won't die easily."

Hearing the system's words, Xie Yan felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Preventing anyone from dying sounds like a good thing, but when applied to Shen Yan, it feels like a lofty curse.

Xie Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "What about Xie Qingyu? Can he come back?"

[I don't know either. He's not my host. All I know is that my host is a kind-hearted idiot, so stupid I can't even stand it.]

"...System, thank you so much."

The ball of light circled Xie Yan a few times. [To be honest, your original world was quite stressful, wasn't it? Would you like to try a different, less burdensome way of living? Otherwise, I'll see this through to the end.]

Xie Yan was taken aback, not understanding, "What do you mean?"

The system chuckled twice, waved it in front of Xie Yan, and said, "Go back, you'll know when you get there."

As soon as the words were spoken, the white light in my vision dimmed, and a wave of dizziness washed over me.

Xie Yan suddenly opened her eyes, staring at the white ceiling and the small floral lampshade, her heart pounding as if it were about to explode.

She sat up abruptly, her eardrums vibrating in sync with her heartbeat. Xie Yan sat on the bed, looking around at the familiar yet unfamiliar room and its furnishings, stunned for a long time.

She... came back??

This is her bedroom, a bedroom she decorated herself!

Just as Xie Yan was filled with doubt and uncertainty, her phone next to her pillow suddenly rang, with the contact name clearly written as "Team Leader Zhang".

Xie Yan answered the phone with practiced ease, listening to the displeased voice on the other end, "Look at the time! Why aren't you at the company yet? Did you ask for leave? Who did you ask?"

Upon hearing this, she glanced at the time; it was already ten o'clock.

Team Leader Zhang is her boss at the company. Clearly, Xie Yan has now reverted to being the programmer who worked tirelessly to pay off her mortgage.

She pressed her hand against her wildly beating heart, made up a random excuse to ask for leave, and then hurriedly got up, changed her clothes, and went out.

Xie Yan couldn't get through to Xie Qingyu's previous number, so she decided to go to Xie Qingyu's school to check on him.

She checked the calendar. Now that she had returned to the time before the car accident, could Xie Qingyu still be here?

Xie Yan hurried downstairs and ran into a neighbor she hadn't seen in a long time.

The neighbor, an elderly woman who had just retired, was kind and gentle, and often greeted and chatted with the Xie siblings.

"Xiao Xie, why didn't you go to work today?"

Xie Yan smiled and said, "I have something to do. I'm going to pick up my brother from school."

The aunt seemed a little surprised. "You have a younger brother? Why haven't you mentioned him before?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan paused. "My brother and I have always lived together, have you forgotten?"

“Nonsense, you’ve lived here for years and have always lived alone. I’ve never seen anyone else in your house.”

Xie Yan was completely stunned on the spot.
