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

A few days later, Shen Yan finally got off the ground and went back to sleep on the small bed.

After the lights were turned off, no one spoke; the dormitory was so quiet that only the sound of one's own breathing could be heard.

The dim moonlight streamed in, and after my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I could make out some things.

Shen Yanping lay on the bed, covered with a thin blanket, her breathing calm.

He noticed mold growing on the upper bunk bed board, and some signs of decay.

It must have been used for many years.

There was chocolate hidden under the pillow. Shen Yan reached out and touched it, but then, as if remembering something, he suddenly lowered his eyes, revealing a blank expression.

He clenched the chocolate in his hand, feeling a sense of loss for the first time.

Shen Yan had never tasted anything as delicious as chocolate since she could remember, and the ham sausage was also a gift from Xie Yan.

The day before, when he was beaten by Shen Yinshuang, Xie Yan was standing at the door when the police came.

Later, Shen Yan was fighting with a dog for food when Xie Yan pulled him away, gave him a pancake, and took him back to eat.

Yesterday, Shen Yan had a fever, and Xie Yan appeared again, gave him medicine, and left him steamed buns and chocolate.

This is the third time.

Shen Yan simply didn't want to talk; she wasn't a fool who knew nothing.

On the contrary, Shen Yan suffered greatly. There was even a time when he wished that Shen Yinshuang would be more ruthless so that he would never wake up again.

Shen Yan had experienced far more calamities than children her age, so she was naturally more mature than others.

Shen Yan possessed an intuitive sensitivity to the kindness and malice of others; he could sense the friendly emotions Xie Yan was conveying to him.

But Shen Yan remained indifferent throughout, without even offering a thank you.

But he's just another person who pities him; their kindness often comes and goes quickly.

They usually leave quickly after giving away a little something, as if afraid of getting entangled with him and causing trouble.

Xie Yan has already helped Shen Yan three times. In Shen Yan's world, this kindness is already like a raging flood. Shen Yan shouldn't have any more expectations.

But Xie Yan clearly said she would come tomorrow, yet she didn't.

Perhaps she, too, will withdraw her kindness.

If he doesn't want to come, he doesn't want to come; he wasn't expecting it anyway.

As expected, Xie Yan did not come in the following days.

There are usually no other visitors in the courtyard, and apart from a dog, there is no one in front of the big iron gate.

The weather is getting cooler.

Xu Mingli was worried that Shen Yan would catch a cold and fever again, so he specially changed his quilt to a thicker one. This special treatment was noticed by everyone else.

With the dean's special attention, although the others dared not openly fight with Shen Yan anymore, they collectively ostracized and isolated him.

A few days later, Xie Yan couldn't resist and went there after school.

She spotted Shen Yan squatting by the door at a glance.

The leaves on the big tree at the entrance have turned yellow, which, combined with the gate of the orphanage, adds a touch of desolation.

Shen Yan's hair hadn't been cut in a long time; his bangs were already past his eyes. He lowered his head, frowned, and looked serious.

He squatted there, his little fingers searching for something in the grass, his solitary figure a stark contrast to the group of children playing behind him.

Xie Yan originally wanted to see what Shen Yan was doing by himself, but she was horrified to find that he had caught an insect and was about to put it in his mouth.

Do not! ! !

Xie Yan appeared next to Shen Yan almost instantly, slapping his wrist with a light but not heavy slap, her voice urgent.

"Are you crazy! Why are you putting everything in your mouth?!"

Shen Yan slowly raised his head, his raven-feather-like eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath his eyes, still displaying that indifferent expression as if the sky were falling and it wouldn't matter to him.

He looked at Xie Yan with his dark eyes for only two seconds before turning his gaze away.

Xie Yan knocked the insect away, and Shen Yan bent down to catch it again.

Xie Yan was furious at his heartless behavior.

She has been going through a lot of internal struggle these past few days, realizing that interfering in plots she shouldn't be involved in carries a great risk.

But after hesitating for a few days, she finally came.

Xie Yan had thought that their relationship had improved after she had fed Shen Yan medicine and brought him food last time, and that he had even said something to her for the first time.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for several days, this guy still ignored her completely, as if he couldn't see her at all. Xie Yan felt that all the previous attempts to please him had been wasted.

The big dog tied under the tree whimpered twice at the right moment. Xie Yan looked over and saw the dog, which she had fed ham sausages to last time, wagging its tail frantically, hoping that Xie Yan would give it some more food.

Oh, feeding this little brat seems less worthwhile than feeding a dog.

They're impossible to tame.

Xie Yan pursed her lips, deciding not to stoop to the level of an eight-year-old.

It's already autumn and the weather is getting colder. Xie Yan was wearing an inner shirt under her school uniform jacket. A gust of wind blew by, and her exposed neck still felt chilly, raising goosebumps.

She then noticed that Shen Yan was still wearing a single layer of clothing, with a rather large neckline, which must have been a bit chilly for this season.

After standing still for two seconds, Xie Yan simply squatted down on the grass by the door.

"Why are you eating insects? Can't you even get enough to eat here?"

Shen Yan ignored him and continued searching for his insects.

"But you can't eat bugs, you'll get sick."

"..."

"Insects carry bacteria and parasites, so no matter what..."

A soft, sweet voice kept talking in Shen Yan's ear. The girl with a ponytail and wearing a school uniform looked serious and focused, as if she didn't care at all about Shen Yan's aloofness and indifference.

Shen Yan seemed to have gotten tired of listening, so she turned around and went to the other side to turn over the soil. Xie Yan followed her to the other side, then squatted down and continued to chatter.

"...I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"

After talking for a long time without getting any feedback, Xie Yan ended up with a dry mouth.

"Are you still looking for bugs? Stop looking, I brought you some food..."

Xie Yan pulled her backpack from behind her to the front, preparing to take out some food. Sure enough, Shen Yan stopped what she was doing.

However, his gaze did not fall on the schoolbag, but lingered on Xie Yan's face.

"I've eaten rats."

A slightly hoarse and weak voice rang out, and Xie Yan paused for a moment before looking up in surprise.

His dark eyes were devoid of any emotion, and the twilight light shone on his profile, making his long eyelashes seem to glow with a faint warmth.

But his voice was so cold.

“My mother chained me up, and it was very difficult to catch mice.”

"Whether it's a rat or an insect, I'll eat it as long as it lets me live."

"Eating insects will make you sick, but not eating anything will make you starve to death."

"I don't want to die, I want to live."

Shen Yan stared intently into Xie Yan's eyes, her tone becoming more forceful.

"Is it wrong for me to want to live?"
