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

Xie Yan never expected that the man in front of her was Shen Yan's biological father, and she was a little slow to process it.

【…Wait a minute, Shen Yan, as the villain, is the illegitimate son of the Gu family. The protagonist is the eldest son of the Gu family, so the male lead and Shen Yan are half-brothers, right?】 Xie Yan sorted out the plot.

System: [Yes]

Xie Yan: [So this is also the male lead's father.]

System: [Yes]

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xie Yan looked at Gu Jinhua again.

Usually, the parents of the protagonist in a novel are portrayed as powerful middle-aged people when they first appear, but Gu Jinhua is in her thirties at this time, and is full of vigor and ambition.

At this moment, he was teasing a child with his eyes crinkled, and even when he was laughing heartily, his sharp edge was still undeniable.

The sharpness and confidence that emanated from Gu Jinhua's very bones could not be concealed; the phrase "sharp and piercing" was most fitting to describe him.

Even Teacher Wang, who was leading the team, couldn't help but glance at Gu Jinhua's face a few more times.

Slightly upturned almond-shaped eyes, a high nose, and thin lips—truly the standard features of a scumbag.

Xie Yan silently observed him. It was hard to imagine that such a dazzling, confident, and successful man had a son suffering in an orphanage.

No, it should be said that his son has been suffering since birth because of his neglect.

The instigator, completely unaware of the situation, was living a carefree life.

They are incredibly scum, outrageously scum, and so scum that they are outrageous.

A black Phaeton was parked on the side of the road. Gu Jinhua only stayed at the door for a few dozen seconds before getting in the car and leaving.

This restaurant is just one of his insignificant businesses. He may have just been passing by and had a quick meal. He may not even remember that he had reached some minor cooperation agreement with a school in a small county.

At that moment, Xie Yan finally had a real understanding of class differences.

Xie Yan suddenly thought of the male lead she had never met and became a little curious.

What's the current situation with the male lead?

System: [He lives in the capital and attends a private elementary school. The Gu family is currently unaware of the existence of Shen Yan, this illegitimate child.]

Xie Yan nodded knowingly.

Both are sons of Gu Jinhua, but one is a favored son of heaven, born with countless resources and admirers, with both parents being outstanding individuals, and his future is bright as can be seen.

Another child, whose biological father was unknown and whose mother had a mental illness, had never attended school by the age of eight and had never experienced a normal life. From his mother's side to the orphanage, and then to the family he was adopted by, all he had was endless darkness and pain.

Pain and hatred were the entirety of Shen Yan's life.

It would be strange if he didn't turn evil.

Especially after he was taken back by the Gu family, in comparison, Shen Yan was like the male protagonist's reflection in the sunlight.

The more upright, outstanding, and cheerful the male protagonist is, the more he appears dark, twisted, and unlike ordinary people.

……

No, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Xie Yan clutched her chest, feeling slightly breathless.

That explains why she was so fond of meddling in other people's business and why she came into contact with Shen Yan.

"Xie Yan, are you alright?"

Zhou Panpan watched the handsome uncle leave before remembering to talk to Xie Yan. When she turned her head, she was startled by Xie Yan's pale face.

Xie Yan took two deep breaths and calmed down. Just as she was about to say that she was fine, Zhou Panpan shouted out.

"Teacher Wang! Xie Yan isn't feeling well!"

"..." Okay, too late.

Teacher Wang quickly walked over and saw that Xie Yan's complexion was indeed not good, so she immediately asked anxiously.

When Xie Yan transferred to our school, Teacher Wang knew about her situation. She knew that Xie Yan had undergone heart surgery and that Xie Yan's mother had specifically asked her to take extra care of her.

Heart disease is no small matter, so Teacher Wang immediately called Yang Huiyun.

Xie Yan quickly stopped her.

"Teacher, I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine, nothing's wrong, I'm just a little tired from walking all morning."

Teacher Wang paused in taking out his phone, looking at her hesitantly, "Really?"

Xie Yan nodded vigorously.

Upon closer inspection, Teacher Wang found that Xie Yan's breathing was steady and her expression was normal, without any abnormality. Only then did Teacher Wang feel a little relieved.

"After you finish eating, go back to the car and rest. You don't need to come along this afternoon. If you feel any discomfort in your heart, have the driver call me or Mom, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, teacher."

After saying a few words, Teacher Wang returned to the front of the group and led the students into the restaurant for lunch.

It was only then that Zhou Panpan learned that Xie Yan had a heart condition.

She covered her mouth in disbelief, her big eyes filled with shock, her expression mirroring that of Feng Shaoyang beside her.

After resting for a while after lunch, everyone got back on the bus and went to the zoo to see the elephants.

Xie Yan stayed in the car, but Zhou Panpan and Feng Shaoyang both asked the teacher to let them stay, saying they wanted to take care of Xie Yan.

After thinking about it for a moment, Teacher Wang agreed.

The zoo is located in the relatively remote eastern suburbs, but it's not particularly remote. There are many snack stalls and small shops around where the tour bus stops.

The driver in the car closed his eyes to rest, while the three children sat in the back. Xie Yan, having finished her meal, was also drowsy.

Zhou Panpan pulled Feng Shaoyang to sit in the last row of the bus and whispered to him.

“I finally know why Yan Yan is always spacing out. She can’t run or play because of her heart condition, so she must be very sad.” Zhou Panpan pouted, looking like she was about to cry.

Even the usually reserved Feng Shaoyang looked saddened. "...Actually, I had only ever seen people with heart disease on TV before. I never imagined that Xie Yan had one. Heart disease looks so painful on TV."

"Poor Yan Yan..."

When Zhou Panpan thought about how Xie Yan's family didn't have a TV, had never even watched "Bear Bear Adventure," didn't have any snacks in her bag when she went out to play, and had a heart condition, Zhou Panpan burst into tears.

That's how kids are at this age; they cry easily, and even the smallest thing can trigger their tears, not to mention that this particular incident does sound quite pitiful.

However, Xie Yan was not in the mood to care about the two children at the moment; she was more concerned about herself.

After the day's activities were over, everyone had dinner and then took a bus for almost an hour to get back to school.

It was almost 8 p.m., and Xie Yan sent a text message to Yang Huiyun to let her know that she hadn't informed her the day before, so she told her not to worry.

But after all that commotion, Xie Yan forgot what she had told Shen Yan yesterday: "I'll come again tomorrow."

the other side.

The children at the orphanage were dismissed from school as usual.

They have a specially established primary school for children from the Sunshine Welfare Home, where all the children attend school, just like any other public school.

As soon as they returned, they found that Shen Yan had come out of the dark room.

This is bizarre; they've never seen anyone released from a dark room in less than a week.

Most of the children in the courtyard were rather quiet, except for a few boys led by Wang Chao who were more aggressive and liked to cause trouble and bully others.

When Wang Chao returned to his dormitory after school, he saw that Shen Yan had actually come out of the dark room and had even changed into new clothes.

The dark blue crewneck sweatshirt fits perfectly; it looks brand new.

Shen Yan, dressed in new clothes, stood there. The dim light reflected on his face, making even the fine hairs on his face clearly visible. He looked as beautiful as a mannequin.

Li Mingming, who was Wang Chao's follower, was sent to the hospital after being bitten by Shen Yan. Wang Chao was even more furious when he saw him like this. He glanced at Li Mingming's new clothes a few more times and said something that was hard to tell whether he was jealous or sarcastic.

"You're new here, where did you get these new clothes? Tell me, who were you serving? Xu Qiang?"

Such foul language should never have come from the mouth of a twelve-year-old boy, but it happened anyway.

But Shen Yan ignored these words.

He stood by the window, quietly looking in the direction of the door, as if expecting something or waiting for something.

Just as Wang Chao was about to lose his temper again, Xu Qiang, whom he had just mentioned, actually appeared.

He called Wang Chao out and gave him a few instructions. When Wang Chao returned, he was completely subdued and ignored Shen Yan with a dark expression.

With Wang Chao taking the lead, the others followed suit, and no one paid any attention to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan stood by the window watching until it was time to rest and the lights were turned off.

No one appeared at the orphanage gate.
