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

Yang Huiyun was busy with her business, which gave Xie Yan some free time.

She bought some food on her way here and put it in her schoolbag.

She stood at the doorway, looking around.

The name of the orphanage is written above the two-story building in the courtyard.

Sunshine Welfare Home.

The dogs nearby barked fiercely, as if trying to drive away this uninvited guest.

The other children in the yard also looked at Xie Yan.

Dean Xu smiled first and walked towards Xie Yan.

Her expression was gentle, and she looked very kind.

"Little friend, are you looking for Shen Yan? Are you his friend?"

System: [Don't be fooled by her, she's not a good person.]

Xie Yan: [Of course I'm smart, I'm not stupid.]

While talking to the system, Xie Yan smiled sweetly.

"Yes, Shen Yan and I are good friends. My mom told me he was sent here, and I wanted to come and play with him. Auntie, do you know where he is?"

"I see." Dean Xu nodded, but his expression was somewhat troubled.

"He wasn't feeling well today, he just took his medicine and went to bed."

That means we won't be able to see each other today.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yan looked disappointed. Her fair, round face almost wrinkled up, and she pouted, looking a little sad.

"Can I come see him tomorrow?" Xie Yan looked at him with hopeful eyes.

"I'm afraid that won't work. He has a fever and needs to rest for the next few days."

Dean Xu sighed, looking quite regretful.

"But little one, did you come alone? It'll be dark soon, so don't wander off, or your mom will worry. Go home now."

Xie Yan said dejectedly, "Okay."

Dean Xu watched the little girl leave, turning back to look at her every few steps, before his smile faded and he turned to go to the basement.

A group of children were chatting in the yard.

"That girl just said she came to see Shen Yan."

"She can forget about seeing him. Once the newcomers arrive, they'll be locked up in a dark room for at least a week. And with Shen Yan's looks, she'll definitely be chosen very quickly."

"I'm so envious. I wish I could be adopted by a rich uncle or aunt so I could eat my fill every day."

"What are you envious of? Don't you know he's mentally ill? The other night he almost bit off Li Mingming's ear! It was terrifying! He bled a lot!"

"My God, is it that serious? If he has a mental illness, how come anyone would target him?"

"You're too young to understand, but from my observations, I've found that as long as you're good-looking, someone will always want you."

……

Xie Yan found a tree and squatted down.

She walked here from school after school; her short legs were practically sparking with exhaustion, and it would take her at least twenty minutes.

She dared not run, afraid that her heart couldn't take it and she couldn't go any faster.

That dean has problems, and big problems at that. Since she's already here, she'll definitely have to take a look at Shen Yan before she leaves.

System: [Shen Yan has been locked in a dark room]

Hearing this, Xie Yan was not surprised.

She could guess that the dean was probably talking nonsense, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that she fell ill when she went to see him?

They must be in a bad situation and can't face anyone.

Her expression was serious: "How long have you been locked up?"

System: [It was shut down Saturday night, almost two days ago]

grass.

Does that mean that the person would be locked in a dark room on the very day they were sent to the orphanage?

Is this school director really that audacious? Isn't he afraid of the police if he abuses children?

System: [Every wealthy person who adopts a child from her sponsors her, and she also donates to the county every year. She is also the president of the county charity association and has a great reputation in the area, so no one dares to investigate her.]

【…】

Speechless.

Xie Yan frowned, thought for a moment, and then went to buy more food.

She walked towards the orphanage again when it got a little dark.

The children's activity time was over, and the yard was now empty.

As soon as Xie Yan approached, the big dog stood up, bared its teeth and stared at her, about to bark.

She simply threw a sausage at it.

The big dog's eyes instantly cleared.

Xie Yan bought a whole bag of sausages and fed the dog several to build a good relationship with it, which would make things easier for her in the future.

[System, where's the "black room"? Show me the way, I'll come back and play chess with you.]

Yes, but it has to be five games.

Okay, okay, hurry up!

Xie Yan then followed the directions and walked forward until she reached the back of the small building.

The walls were bare, there wasn't even a door or a room.

【arrive?】

We've arrived. Look down; there's a drain cover where you're standing.

Only after the system mentioned it did Xie Yan notice.

The area behind the small building was clearly neglected, overgrown with weeds, and because it was dark, she hadn't seen it at all.

Underfoot are drainage covers similar to those on both sides of the road to let rainwater seep in, with many perforated gaps.

The absurd thought arose, and Xie Yan could hardly believe it.

Don't tell me there's a dark room down there! How could anyone live there!

I knew the minor villain had a miserable life, but I didn't know he had such a miserable life.

Xie Yan felt that her worldview had been shaken.

She hurriedly squatted down to try and see inside, but it was pitch black and she couldn't see anything.

Finally, Xie Yan was almost lying down when she could barely see the small body curled up in the corner through the gap.

Xie Yan recognized his clothes at a glance—a gray shirt that was one of her old clothes.

You can vaguely see that the gray has turned into patches of black dirt, and Shen Yan's face is also obscured by the shadows.

System: [Don't panic, this isn't a real sewer. It's just a drain cover installed for ventilation. There's a basement below.]

That's what they said, but actually the system was just trying to comfort Xie Yan, who was emotionally unstable at the time.

If it rains or snows in this little dark room, you'll just have to stand there getting soaked.

When it rains heavily, there's nothing you can do; the drainage system just gets soaked.

Xie Yan frowned deeply. She leaned over the lid and whispered Shen Yan's name, but the small body did not respond at all.

But she didn't dare to be too loud, since the location was right downstairs and anyone would notice if she made a slightly loud noise.

"No, I want to go down," Xie Yan said seriously.

The system paused for a moment, then said, "I don't recommend it. The entrance is inside the building, which is risky, and you shouldn't interfere in this part of the story."

[I've already interfered even though I shouldn't have. I believe that everything Shen Yan has suffered so far is enough to make him turn into a villain. Besides, I only went down to give him some food; it won't have any impact.]

This time, Xie Yan was unusually firm.

This is the effect of feeding a stray cat once.

Xie Yan and the system faced off in silence, but in the end the system compromised, realizing that what Xie Yan said seemed to make some sense.

it's getting dark.

The dim moonlight shone on the Sunshine Welfare Home, casting a chilling white glow that sent a shiver down Xie Yan's spine.

Even on the day she died in the car accident, she never felt this way.

She took a deep breath and stepped into the corridor.

Following the system's instructions, Xie Yan slipped into the first-floor restaurant and found the staircase leading to the basement in the kitchen.

The process went relatively smoothly, and Xie Yan successfully reached the basement.

The underground temperature suddenly dropped, and Xie Yan instantly felt a chill.

There were three rooms downstairs. Ignoring the other two, Xie Yan went straight to the room where Shen Yan was.

but.

The iron gate was locked, and Xie Yan couldn't open it.

【system……】

【all……】

"Brother Tongzi, you're my only brother. I'm taking you to the internet cafe to play games when I get back..."

The system was clearly lured in by the last sentence.

Go to the shop and redeem it; it has a basic lockpicking skill. Sigh, the shop function wasn't supposed to be available until after the main story started, but I gave you access. You have to understand the risk I took, so you absolutely have to take me to the internet cafe…

【Good, good, good, good】

Xie Yan said "good" five times in a row, and then hurriedly opened the system panel to check.

This was the first time she had ever seen the store interface; that scoundrel system had never told her about such a thing before.

The store was overflowing with items, but Xie Yan didn't have time to look at them closely. She quickly found "Basic Lockpicking" and bought it.

After a surge of heat in her brain, Xie Yan blinked and felt as if she had suddenly understood something incredible.

She reached down and took a thin black hairpin from her head, straightened it, and poked it into the lock a few times. The lock opened with a click.

Wow, that lock-picking speed! Xie Yan felt she could break into eighty houses in one night.

Putting aside some strange thoughts, Xie Yan quickly opened the door and went inside, then left the door slightly ajar.

The little stray cat in the corner was sleeping peacefully and silently.

Xie Yan went over to wake him up, but when she touched his face, it was surprisingly hot.

I rely on!

In some respects, the dean wasn't lying; Shen Yan really was sick and had a high fever.

No wonder he didn't respond when I called him.

Xie Yan paused for two seconds, then skillfully opened the store again to search for fever reducers.

System: [Hey, this isn't how you use my shop!!!]

Xie Yan: [Never mind, it happened twice at the internet cafe]

System: [Oh, I didn't see anything.]

The search results showed a lot of colorful medicines, and Xie Yan clicked on the first one.

The product details state:

The CEO's fever just won't go down? Even injections at the hospital aren't helping, leaving the housekeeper extremely worried.

Don't be afraid! As a devoted supporting actress, you don't need to stay up all night taking care of her!

Just one pill can bring down even a domineering CEO's fever of 50 degrees Celsius!

No matter how long you're unconscious, you'll wake up in 10 minutes! Invulnerable to all poisons!

From now on, you are the CEO's benefactor!

From now on, reaching the top will no longer be a dream!

……

Neuropathy.

Xie Yan exchanged the medicine with a blank expression, then took out a thermos from her bag and put the medicine into Shen Yan's mouth.

She tried to help Shen Yan sit up against the wall, but Shen Yan's body was too limp to sit up and kept falling down.

Helpless, Xie Yan sat down on the ground, letting Shen Yan lean against her, and continued to feed him water.

When you're sick, drink more hot water.

I fed him a large cup.

"cough……"

A muffled cough rang out, and Shen Yan's face turned red, as if she had been choked awake by water.

Shen Yan opened her eyes in a daze, her eyes still hot and moist.

My body felt exceptionally light, and the cold, shivering sensation completely disappeared.

He felt an unprecedented warmth and security.

Has he finally died?

"You're awake?" Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him open his eyes. "If you're awake, eat something."

As she spoke, she turned her head to rummage through her schoolbag.

Her backpack was practically filled with everything except books.

Needless to say, there are also small bread rolls and cookies, as well as fresh meat buns and chocolate sausages. It would take more than two days to finish them, let alone one meal.

Shen Yan was still leaning against Xie Yan's chest, covered with Xie Yan's school uniform, and warmth came from behind her.

This made Shen Yan's small CPU unable to run.

He stared blankly at the steamed bun that was being brought to his mouth.

The steamed bun, still warm from being kept in the schoolbag, was fed to Shen Yan's mouth with one hand.

The aroma of noodles mixed with meat wafted into Shen Yan's nostrils, and he swallowed hard, unable to resist any longer.

Shen Yan had clearly regained his strength, but he didn't move.

Following the current posture, he opened his mouth.
