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

Shen Yan frowned as her cheeks were being pinched, revealing a hint of reluctance.

Why laugh at him?

Seeing this, Xie Yan was even happier.

She remembered that Shen Yan had smiled once before, and she looked absolutely adorable.

So the wicked little hand reached down.

Tickl him!

Considering that Shen Yan's leg was still not fully healed, Xie Yan certainly didn't dare to go too far.

But that's enough.

The sudden attack made Shen Yan tremble all over, and then she turned red in the face and twisted and turned on the bed.

He fled, she chased.

Hard to fly with wings.

Shen Yan bit his lip tightly, feeling a gentle yet torturous itch on his stomach and neck. Within ten seconds, he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hmm... Stop it..."

A soft, whimpering voice, tinged with laughter, rang out beside Xie Yan, like a kitten whimpering, its little hands outstretched as if in resistance.

Xie Yan grinned maliciously.

resistance?

It's impossible to resist even a little bit!

Then she saw an undisguised smile spread across the pretty little face in front of her.

When those dark, glassy eyes curved upwards, it was as if a galaxy had been shattered, with starlight specks scattered within, hooking at the eye and impossible to look away from.

Shen Yan's face was rosy, and his forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat that glistened. His expression was incredibly lively.

It's so exquisite it's unreal, so beautiful it's almost unbelievable.

So cute and well-behaved.

So cute! So cute!

This helpless and aggrieved look, as if he could only whimper when he was bullied, struck Xie Yan's heart directly.

She's way cuter than that scoundrel of a brother!! All her brother does is bite with his dog mouth!!

"That's right, she looks so cute when she smiles!"

Xie Yan finally got tired of playing and mercifully let Shen Yan go. In a very good mood, she went to ruffle Shen Yan's hair, but Shen Yan slightly dodged.

but.

Didn't avoid it.

Before the smile on his face could fade, his eyes were unusually moist, his face was flushed, and his clothes were a little disheveled, as if he had been ravaged.

Xie Yan's wicked little hand still landed on his head, giving it a good rub like she was petting a kitten.

"You should smile more often from now on, so that other people will like you, okay?"

Helplessly letting her touch his head, Shen Yan silently calmed his breathing. "If I smile, will others like me...?"

Xie Yan replied naturally, "Of course, you're so beautiful, and you look even more beautiful when you smile. I really like the way you smile."

Shen Yan pursed her lips and didn't speak, but pulled the blanket up to cover half of her face.

The base of her ears was a little red.

"By the way, how's your leg? Does it still hurt?"

After making a fuss for a while, Xie Yan finally showed concern for Shen Yan's leg. He had only recently been able to get out of bed and was still taking medication.

The cast on his leg hadn't been removed, and there were two small, short crutches in the corner, specifically for children.

Shen Yan shook her head, revealing her beautiful and delicate features. "It doesn't hurt."

Xie Yan sighed softly.

Since Shen Yan's surgery, he has never complained of pain. Even if he was in pain, he would say he wasn't. Asking him is pointless.

But how could it not hurt?

After a fracture surgery, once the anesthesia wears off, even adults cry out in pain, let alone children.

That would mean breaking and resetting your leg bone; Xie Yan felt a pang of pain just thinking about it.

After a two-second silence, Xie Yan got out of bed, sat cross-legged, and suddenly threw off the covers.

Shen Yan, who was curled up under the covers, thought that she was going to tickle him again, so he immediately curled up his hands to protect himself, but he didn't know whether to protect his stomach or his neck.

For a moment, they seemed a bit flustered.

very busy.

But I don't know what they're busy with.

Xie Yan was amused by his unusually lively little appearance, and then looked at his legs.

The grayish-white plaster stood out starkly against his thin frame.

The plaster cast on his calf was thicker than Shen Yan's thigh, making it look extremely disproportionate.

She reached out and touched it, but Xie Yan didn't dare to use any force, only lightly touching it with her fingertips.

"...You must eat well from now on, take good care of your health, heal your legs, and grow tall, understand?"

Her voice inexplicably lowered, and Shen Yan looked at her, somewhat puzzled.

He didn't understand why Xie Yan suddenly seemed unhappy.

After a pause, Shen Yan tilted her head and spoke again.

"Xie Yan, it doesn't hurt."

The sound was crisp and clear, quite confident, as if it really didn't hurt.

"...Hmm, it's good that it doesn't hurt."

Xie Yan didn't expose him, but nodded and continued.

"You will go to school again in the future. You should study hard, get along well with your classmates, and smile at others more often. That way, your classmates will like you too."

"When you get to your new home, you must be polite. You are such a good girl, you will definitely be adopted by a wonderful parent, and your life will be better."

Under the bright lights, the little girl nodded and gently stroked the grayish-white plaster. Her much thinner face appeared even paler under the light, but her words were incredibly firm.

"Shen Yan, you will be happy in the future."

For some reason, watching Xie Yan say these words, Shen Yan suddenly felt a strange emotion.

He couldn't quite describe the feeling; it was as if ants had bitten his chest, leaving him feeling uncertain.

Her eyelids drooped, and her long eyelashes trembled.

Xie Yan heard something unexpected.

"Can't you adopt me?"

She looked over in surprise and saw a pair of bright black eyes staring straight at her with a serious expression, as if they were not joking.

But Xie Yan burst out laughing the next moment.

She stretched again, lay back down with a relaxed expression, her face full of slyness and amusement, her eyes crinkling as she teased Shen Yan.

"I can't be your mother, so call me 'sister' and let me hear it."

The two lay face to face on their pillows.

Eyes facing each other.

"elder sister."

His dark eyes reflected Xie Yan's pale face. He stared at the person in front of him without blinking, his tone calm.

"Can't you adopt me?"

……

Xie Yan fell silent.

It’s over.

This kid doesn't seem to be joking.

How can she explain that adoption can only be done by adults?

Even Yang Huiyun couldn't afford to adopt Shen Yan, since the formal adoption process requires an assessment of the family's financial situation.

Yang Huiyun's unstable income from street vending probably won't work.

It's too far away to reach them!

Fortunately, Yang Huiyun came in and rescued Xie Yan, who didn't know what to say.

When Yang Huiyun saw that she was awake, she immediately smiled and told her that Zhou Panpan and Feng Shaoyang had come over that afternoon. They had taken a special trip from the school to see her and were very concerned about her.

Xie Yan was deeply moved and immediately took out her phone from the drawer to call Zhou Panpan.

Feeling neglected, Shen Yan silently got up.

Yang Huiyun quickly grabbed his cane from the corner of the wall, handed it to him, and helped him get out of bed.

Over the past few days, Shen Yan has become quite adept at using the cane. He hopped off the bed on one foot, landed steadily, and took the cane.

He pursed his lips, recalling what Xie Yan had just said.

He actually smiled.

"Thank you auntie."

Although he was recently hospitalized, he has not missed any of his three meals a day, and Zhou Yuting has taken very good care of him.

Shen Yan's face had gained a little weight, making her look even more delicate and adorable compared to her previous skinny appearance.

At this moment, her eyebrows curved into a smile, and Yang Huiyun was stunned by her appearance.

She had never seen the child smile before, and this sudden smile was so adorable.

"It's alright. Do you need Auntie to take you home? Or should I ask Sister Zhou Yuting to come and pick you up?"

The orthopedics and cardiology wards are both inpatients in this building, and Shen Yan lives downstairs from them, not far away.

Shen Yan shook her head, "No need, I can take the elevator myself."

He moved slowly, step by step, his small body dragging on the plaster cast, looking somewhat clumsy, but his expression was calm.

Just before leaving, Shen Yan turned back.

Xie Yan was on the phone in her hospital bed, while Yang Huiyun was peeling an apple. The mother and daughter didn't interact, but the scene was incredibly heartwarming.

After taking one last, deep look, Shen Yan left.

--------

Recently, a huge scandal has occurred in Jianghai City.

News reports say that since the child abuser was caught, the police have been investigating from multiple angles and finally focused their attention on the Sunshine Welfare Home.

After more than twenty days of investigation, the truth has finally come to light.

Xu Mingli, the director of the Sunshine Welfare Home, colluded with her ex-husband Wu Chou, and the two had been engaged in illegal child trafficking transactions, reaping huge profits from them.

The couple has been detained and is awaiting trial.

The girl rescued from the basement is disoriented and is receiving psychiatric treatment.

The girl rescued from Wang Litao's home is out of danger after receiving treatment.

The remaining children at Sunshine Welfare Home were all transferred to a new welfare home—Xin Xin Welfare Home.

He Liang was overjoyed.

He's been busy with venue matters lately.

The original Sunshine Welfare Home was shut down, and the children all came to him. He will definitely renovate his premises to welcome the new children.

He and his girlfriend Xue Lili were so busy every day that they barely had time to breathe, but they still made sure to bring his father meals every day.

That day, as usual, he went to the ward to deliver food and saw that the child who shared the ward with his father had changed his clothes and was dressed neatly.

Shen Yan is about to be discharged from the hospital.

He Liang already knew about Shen Yan's background and that he used to be from the Sunshine Welfare Home, so now he was essentially transferred to his own facility.

He Liang smiled, his youthful face full of tenderness.

"That's perfect, you can come back with me then."
