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

Xie Yan silently pulled Shen Yan along and ran up.

She didn't even dare to linger in the restaurant; the two of them ran all the way to the courtyard before stopping.

"Didn't you hear anything just now?"

Xie Yan was already a little out of breath after jogging for a short while. She adjusted her breathing and looked at Shen Yan's expression with some nervousness.

Shen Yan shook her head, a rare look of confusion in her eyes. "What happened?"

It's good that you didn't hear it.

She didn't want the minor villain to have his ears polluted by these things.

Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "It's nothing. Just don't tell anyone you went to the basement when you get back. Just don't say anything."

Fortunately, Shen Yan was exceptionally cooperative today, and he didn't ask any further questions, obediently saying "Oh".

After this delay, it's already past eight o'clock, and Xie Yan can't stay any longer.

"Don't go to the basement these next few days, don't be alone, stay with everyone, understand?"

Xie Yan only felt slightly relieved after receiving another "oh" from Shen Yan.

"I'm going home now, see you tomorrow."

Xie Yan was in a state of turmoil the whole way.

She never imagined that this orphanage had become so corrupt, that such things could even happen inside its premises.

The filthy sounds still lingered in Xie Yan's mind; witnessing such a thing firsthand had a tremendous impact on her.

She summoned the system: [If Shen Yan is taken back by a pervert, will she also be... you know...?]

Xie Yan didn't even want to say some disgusting words.

Especially when used on a child who was just next to her.

This is certain.

The system was more serious and focused than ever before, completely abandoning its usual tantrum-like behavior.

[Furthermore, you can't interfere. A villain's childhood experiences determine the extent of their later descent into darkness. If they lose those experiences, their character and fundamental nature will change.]

I could ignore the food you brought me before, but not this time. This is a very important part of the plot.

This will affect his future behavior and logic, and even the entire subsequent plot development.

The system's metallic electronic voice sounded exceptionally cold at that moment, and Xie Yan felt a chill run to her very bones.

She clutched her small white phone tightly in her hand, the emergency number on the dial pad, just waiting to be dialed.

System: [Put your phone away and don't interfere.]

Xie Yan stopped in her tracks.

Under the streetlights, the small shadow was stretched very long.

a long time.

His youthful face was now filled with coldness, but a quiet anger was slowly burning within him.

Xie Yan feels very calm right now.

What if I insist on interfering?

With her mind racing, Xie Yan had already accepted the conjecture that she had been eliminated because she disobeyed the system and disrupted the plot.

However, Xie Yan was already dead.

He died in a car accident at the age of 28.

She stole these days; she rediscovered the joy of going to school and the maternal love she had never experienced before.

She was happy and content.

Even though she's already dead, Xie Yan was still able to help a poor child...

No, it's a group of children.

Shutting down this heartless orphanage would at least save those children.

This is a great deal.

As for the later plot, what does that have to do with her?

Before the system could reply, Xie Yan picked up her phone again.

It's not too late to call the police now. The girl in the basement definitely still has the security guard's bodily fluids on her body. The police will know once they test her!

[Your younger brother has also transmigrated!!]

The system's voice boomed in my ears like thunder.

The explosion rendered Xie Yan unable to react.

【......What did you say??】

...What do you mean, what do you mean her younger brother also transmigrated?

Xie Yan was forced into this world because she died in a car accident, but what about her brother?

[I shouldn't be telling you this now. You were hit by a bus, and your brother was on that bus. He was the only one on the bus who got into trouble, so you were both chosen to be involved.]

For a long time, Xie Yan was speechless.

My hand holding the phone had fallen to its side without me noticing, and it was trembling slightly.

Xie Yan has a younger brother named Xie Qingyu.

At that time, her nominal mother abandoned a baby in her hometown and then disappeared, leaving the child with her and her maternal grandmother.

My maternal grandmother couldn't read many characters, so Xie Yan named Xie Qingyu after looking up words in the dictionary.

Raising a baby from infancy to high school is practically the same as raising a son for Xie Yan.

Since arriving here, Xie Yan has been afraid to think about Xie Qingyu, fearing that she would lose control of her emotions.

As it turns out, her fears were justified; she was indeed starting to lose control.

Xie Yan couldn't help but shed tears; her longing for her family reached its peak at that moment.

Where is my brother?

"I can't say for now, but as long as the plot progresses normally, you will be able to meet him," the system said quietly.

However, this is contingent on the plot proceeding normally and not deviating from its intended path.

Having said that, Xie Yan already understood.

The system is using Xie Qingyu to threaten her.

If Xie Yan calls the police now, the butterfly effect could cause the plot to deviate later, and she might never see Xie Qingyu again.

Xie Yan took a deep breath.

If the system had a physical form, she would definitely beat it into a two-dimensional being.

After a long while, Xie Yan finally responded slowly.

Okay, I understand.

--------

In the following days, Xie Yan went to and from school as usual.

He simply didn't go to see Shen Yan again.

With midterms approaching, Xie Yan had no energy to concentrate in class. She spent her days either staring out the window or sleeping on her desk.

This state of mind made Zhou Panpan very worried.

So Zhou Panpan extended an invitation on Friday, asking Xie Yan to come to her house for the weekend.

"I have an adorable kitten! Don't you want to see it?"

Zhou Panpan racked her brains trying to think of what else was fun to do at her house. "Oh right, there's a small river near my house. We can go play by the river!"

Xie Yan showed little interest, but Zhou Panpan seemed to have inexhaustible energy. She pestered Xie Yan all day long until Xie Yan finally gave in.

...Well, I have nothing to do on the weekend anyway, so it's good to go out and have some fun to change my mood.

Early Saturday morning, Xie Yan arrived at the residential area where Zhou Panpan lived, following the address provided.

This was Xie Yan's first time visiting someone else's house since the start of the school year, so Yang Huiyun specially picked out a pretty little dress for her.

A light blue dress paired with a light cardigan is perfect for this weather, neither too hot nor too cold.

Her hair was also carefully styled into a fishtail braid at the back of her head, which looked very delicate.

Zhou Panpan, who had been waiting at the main entrance, spotted Xie Yan immediately. She ran over excitedly, her voice high-pitched, "Yan Yan, you look so beautiful today!!"

Xie Yan smiled and said, "You look beautiful today too."

It's the weekend, and everyone is free to wear school uniforms. Zhou Panpan is also wearing her own pretty clothes, and she definitely looks much better than when she was at school.

Zhou Panpan chuckled and took Xie Yan's hand as they walked into the residential area.

Haoting Residential Complex can be considered the wealthiest area in the region, with property prices that are beyond the reach of many.

Xie Yan glanced around and noticed that the landscaping and layout were indeed very well done.

"Good morning, Uncle Wang!"

When Zhou Panpan saw a familiar face, she immediately waved and greeted him politely.

A man in a suit and tie was walking towards us.

He wore glasses, had a refined appearance, and possessed a very scholarly demeanor.

The man smiled gently. "Oh, it's Panpan. Good morning. Did you bring your friends back to play?"

Zhou Panpan nodded, "Yes, this is my best friend!"

After saying that, she turned back to Xie Yan and introduced him, "This is my neighbor, Uncle Wang. He's a very nice person."

Hearing this, the man laughed and ruffled Zhou Panpan's hair. "You guys have fun. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

"Okay, goodbye Uncle Wang~"

Zhou Panpan waved goodbye and then went to take Xie Yan's arm, but found that Xie Yan was staring at Uncle Wang's departing figure without blinking.

Her expression was so somber it was almost frightening.

"...Yan Yan? What are you looking at?" Zhou Panpan couldn't help but follow her gaze, but couldn't find anything wrong.

"Do you know the name of that uncle from earlier?"

The question was a bit strange, but Xie Yan couldn't care less.

Although Zhou Panpan didn't understand, she tried her best to recall.

Her father was a businessman and had business dealings with Uncle Wang, so the two families often visited each other and were quite familiar with each other.

"Uncle Wang's full name is Wang Litao."

Xie Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Wang Litao!

It's that pervert who's about to adopt Shen Yan!!
