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

early morning.

Haoting Residential Complex.

The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the dew that had condensed on the flowers and leaves fell and sank into the grass.

In a luxury apartment building, a bespectacled man stands on the balcony and opens the window.

A cold wind blew in, and the man stepped back into the living room and squatted down.

A girl lay in front of the coffee table, her exposed skin covered in bruises and welts, and she was unconscious with her eyes closed.

The man casually picked up a glass of cold water and splashed it on her. Then, a gust of wind blew, and goosebumps instantly rose on the girl's arm, but she still didn't open her eyes.

He kicked the girl's face again with the tip of his shoe, increasing the force, until he lost patience when the girl still didn't wake up.

His once refined face was now contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot, like a wild beast.

The man didn't care whether the girl was alive or dead. He dragged her up to the second floor by her hair, as if he were carrying a lump of dead flesh.

boring!

So boring! So boring! So boring!!

Trash!! These weak prey who only cry and beg for mercy only annoy him!!

The more agitated he becomes, the more he needs to vent!

But his prey were all too boring; they had no reaction other than crying, and all they could say was begging him to let them go. Their cries drove him crazy.

The man tossed the girl into the room and then picked up his phone to make a call.

The call was answered quickly, and a gentle and composed female voice came from the other end.

"Mr. Wang, it's been a long time."

"Dean Xu."

Wang Litao was speaking in a low voice and breathing heavily, appearing very emotionally unstable.

"I'd like to... adopt another child. Do you have any suitable options available recently?"

"Yes, there are, but..." Dean Xu's voice was somewhat hesitant.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, all donations will remain the same!"

Wang Litao was extremely anxious; the one in the room was clearly dying, and he urgently needed to find another one.

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind. The main problem is that this child has a bit of a difficult personality; he's rather stubborn and doesn't like to talk much. His looks are excellent, and he's young, but he's only been here a short time, so the paperwork and such are still—"

"The paperwork is no problem! I have connections, and I can handle all the paperwork for the child! When can I go see him?"

After a moment's hesitation, the person on the other end said, "It might have to wait until next month."

As she spoke, Dean Xu was somewhat annoyed. If she had known that the sugar daddy would contact her so quickly, she wouldn't have locked Shen Yan in the basement.

She had originally thought that Shen Yan would be more obedient after she had tempered her arrogance since she had just arrived. She had gone to see her yesterday, and Shen Yan was running a fever and was sick. How could she let her sugar daddy see her like this?

She definitely needs to be well cared for, so that when Mr. Wang comes, he will see that Shen Yan is beautiful and healthy, and only then will he be willing to "adopt" her.

So Dean Xu planned to keep Shen Yan in the hospital for a month before shipping her out, but Wang Litao was not happy about it, as he thought it was too long.

After much persuasion, it was finally agreed upon two weeks later.

After hanging up the phone, Dean Xu quickly grabbed the keys and went to the basement.

Dew was dripping from the drain cover, and a layer of frost had formed on the ground. The dark, damp basement was freezing cold.

Shen Yan curled up in the corner and endured another night like that.

He woke up the instant the door lock and key clicked.

The figure of the woman in the long dress was reflected in his dark eyes.

Using the dim light shining through the gaps in the drain cover on the ceiling, Dean Xu, wearing high heels, quickly walked over and squatted down, affectionately touching Shen Yan's cheek.

"Good child, are you still feeling unwell? I brought you some medicine..."

As he was speaking, Dean Xu's tone slowed down.

She paused, withdrew her hand, touched her own forehead, and then reached out to touch Shen Yan's forehead again.

"...Your fever has gone down?" Dean Xu couldn't help but be surprised. She had never seen a child who could develop a fever in a dark room and have it go down on its own.

She looked at Shen Yan in surprise. Shen Yan naturally did not answer her, but judging from his clear-headed appearance, she knew that he was not running a high fever.

The medicine in Dean Xu's hand was not needed. She chuckled dryly, "It's good that the fever has subsided, it's good that it has subsided."

Shen Yan's expression remained unchanged, still staring at her with deathly silence. Dean Xu cleared his throat and smiled gently.

"You must be having a hard time getting used to living here. I came to see you yesterday and I couldn't sleep all night because I was worried about you. That's why I came to pick you up today. Come on, let's have dinner together."

The restaurant at Sunshine Welfare Home is on the first floor. It was past breakfast time, and there was no one else in the restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't very big; each table had four round chairs attached, some of which were rusty and looked quite old.

"Sit here and wait for me, I'll go get you something to eat."

Dean Xu went to the kitchen to serve Shen Yan a bowl of plain porridge, and then gave him a steamed bun.

Shen Yan sat in a chair in the restaurant, looking at the hypocritical woman in front of him and the steamed buns and porridge in front of him. He hid the chocolate sausage in his sleeve under the table with his left hand, and slowly ate the steamed bun with his right hand.

Seeing Shen Yan's obedient appearance, Dean Xu's smile became more genuine.

He got into trouble as soon as he was brought here a few days ago. He seemed like a quiet kid, but he got into a fight as soon as he arrived, and he hit... no, he bit pretty hard.

He bit off half of Li Mingming's ear, and she had to be taken to the hospital where she needed eight stitches. She had to pay for it herself, which infuriated Dean Xu.

That's why Shen Yan was immediately locked in a dark room and has been there ever since.

Fortunately, Mr. Wang asked for the person again today, and Mr. Wang is a little different from others.

Although almost everyone who comes to her to adopt a child doesn't have any purely virtuous intentions, it's basically a one-off deal; they take in a child and then never come back.

However, since the children who come from Dean Xu's program are all obedient and well-behaved, they introduce each other to each other, so there are quite a few visitors.

What sets Wang Litao apart from everyone else is that he comes very frequently.

As for his previous children, Wang Litao claimed that they were all sent abroad to study, and since they were lonely at home with no one to accompany them, he had no choice but to adopt another one.

Every time he contacted Dean Xu, Dean Xu was also very anxious because he had offered too much, but unfortunately, he didn't have anything suitable on his side.

Wang Litao's requirements this time are: beautiful, patient, quiet, and not prone to crying.

But there were only a few decent-looking kids, and they were all picked out long ago; what's left are the less attractive ones.

Besides, they're just kids, every kid has a tendency to cry.

Given Wang Litao's qualifications, Dean Xu knows without a doubt how he will treat the adopted child.

It's impossible for a child not to cry when they've been hit.

But then Shen Yan arrived.

He fought with Li Mingming. Although Li Mingming was covered in blood from being bitten, he wasn't much better off. He had injuries all over his arms and legs, but he never cried out once.

She is beautiful, patient, quiet, and doesn't cry easily.

Shen Yan perfectly matched Wang Litao's criteria; it was as if God had created a toy specifically for Wang Litao.

Originally, they thought Shen Yan was too tactless and difficult to deal with, but unexpectedly, Wang Litao came knocking on their door.

Xu Mingli felt an urge to burst into laughter.

After all, Wang Litao is really generous.

In an instant, Shen Yan in front of me no longer seemed like a disheveled child, but a shining money tree.

"Shen Yan, good boy, are you full? Would you like another bowl?"

Shen Yan nodded.

--------

Xie Yan was completely dazed at that moment.

On the bus, the chattering elementary school students were excitedly discussing what snacks they had brought.

Xie Yan's little schoolbag only contained a bottle of water, which Yang Huiyun had packed for her before she left home that morning.

She didn't pay attention to what the teacher said in class yesterday, so naturally she didn't hear the teacher announce that they were going on an autumn outing to the city today.

It's called an autumn outing, but it's really just a group of teachers leading the way to see cultural performances and visit museums.

"Yan Yan, why is your backpack so flat?"

Zhou Panpan looked at Xie Yan's empty schoolbag on her lap, her eyes filled with a clear sense of foolishness.

Xie Yan fell silent.

Zhou Panpan immediately felt her arm being stabbed hard from behind.

Zhou Panpan peeked out from the side and saw Feng Shaoyang also leaning to the side and glaring at her.

The two walked one after the other. Feng Shaoyang leaned closer and whispered, "Can't you speak properly? Xie Yan obviously doesn't have money to buy snacks. Asking her like that will only upset her!"

After all, Xie Yan's bag was the flattest in the whole car, and it was obvious that she didn't have any snacks in it.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Panpan slapped her forehead and realized that she had forgotten about this!

She turned her head and saw Xie Yan staring blankly out the window, showing no joy or excitement about going out to play.

Zhou Panpan felt like she wanted to strangle herself for what she had just done.

So she reconsidered her words.

"Yan Yan, I took too many snacks and can't finish them all. Let me share some with you."

The little girl stared intently at Xie Yan's expression, afraid that she wouldn't accept it.

Xie Yan was at a loss for words because of her little expression, so she reluctantly asked for a bag of rice crackers.

The destination was the museum in Jianghai City, and it took forty minutes by bus to get there.

Class teacher Ms. Wang called roll, lined up the class, explained some important points, and then they went into the museum together.

The guide was very friendly as she explained things to the children, while Xie Yan strolled slowly at the back of the line.

Well, it's nice to go out and wander around instead of attending class.

System: [Sigh, we're already in the city. If only you could take me to an internet cafe to play games.]

Xie Yan: [Hehe, if I were my age, I'd be kicked out of an internet cafe in less than two seconds.]

System: [I know, so I'm just fantasizing, sob sob]

They spent the morning wandering around the museum, and at noon they were dropped off at the entrance of a restaurant.

This restaurant is located on a main street with heavy pedestrian traffic. It has a large storefront and exquisite decor, so you can tell at a glance that the food here is not cheap.

Even after Xie Yan started working and had a stable income, she rarely went to restaurants like this.

Xie Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "The school actually arranged such a nice restaurant for us..."

Zhou Panpan and Feng Shaoyang exchanged glances, and Feng Shaoyang immediately spoke up: "Actually, big restaurants aren't necessarily good. I think Auntie's stir-fried rice cakes are better."

"..."

Over there, Teacher Wang was taking attendance and lining up the class again. She was getting the formation and discipline in order when she saw a few people about to leave, so she quickly moved them aside.

A man stepped forward to open the door and said to the man behind him, "Mr. Gu, it's a coincidence. This is the school we're cooperating with this year. Their students are here for lunch."

The hotel doors opened, and a man in a suit walked out.

He had a rugged and handsome appearance, his black leather shoes were spotless, and his noble demeanor was impossible to suppress.

"Wow, what a handsome uncle..."

"This uncle looks like someone from a movie."

Hearing these innocent words from the children, Gu Jinhua was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and waved to the little ones.

Children are always very enthusiastic, so they immediately raised their hands to greet them.

Only Xie Yan was taken aback.

System: [Holy crap, Shen Yan's biological father?]
