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

Xie Yan didn't call him much.

Almost every time, Shen Yan followed her instructions: press and hold "1" to hear her voice. It was very simple, and he was the one who called her every time.

But these past few days, when he dialed the number as usual, he could only hear a busy tone on the receiver.

He hadn't heard Xie Yan's voice for several days, and he had another nightmare last night.

In his dream, the female ghost wrapped her hair tightly around his neck, opened her blood-red mouth, and said she wanted to kill him and send him to his death.

Shen Yan gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, her expression calm. "No, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Panpan frowned and became somewhat flustered.

"She clearly said before she left that it was a minor surgery, nothing serious—"

"Operation?"

Shen Yan's eyes widened. The light from the corridor ceiling shone down from above, casting flickering shadows on his face. "What kind of surgery?"

"You didn't know? Didn't Yan Yan tell you?"

Zhou Panpan was quite surprised. "She needs to go to S City for heart surgery, and she even asked me to buy you a cell phone in case she couldn't reach you. You didn't know?"

Shen Yan was stunned.

A profound sense of bewilderment overwhelmed him. He stood frozen in place for a long time before suddenly turning around and running back to his dormitory.

He pulled his phone out from under his pillow and called Xie Yan.

Just like the previous times, no one answered.

He had assumed Xie Yan might have been busy these past few days and that's why he hadn't received the call, but he never expected that Xie Yan had gone to have surgery.

During our previous meeting, she didn't mention the surgery at all; she just casually mentioned that she was going out of town.

The other kids in the dorm were used to Shen Yan taking out his phone to make calls every now and then, but they had never seen him making calls like this, and they all looked at each other in bewilderment.

"...Shen Yan, who are you calling? Is it the girl who brought you food before?" someone couldn't help but ask.

Shen Yan ignored him and persistently dialed the unanswered number again and again.

Left standing in the corridor, Zhou Panpan sighed and walked towards the car outside the courtyard.

Zhou Yishan looked at her questioningly from inside the car, and Zhou Panpan shook her head.

Zhou Yishan frowned as well.

The situation is not good.

If, as Panpan said, the girl went to S City for surgery and now no one can contact her, does that mean...?

Looking in the rearview mirror, Zhou Yishan and Wang Yuling exchanged a glance, and an ominous feeling crept into their hearts.

That evening, Zhou Panpan's good mood vanished. She couldn't concentrate on the Lantern Festival Gala on TV, which featured singing and dancing, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.

After finally getting the child to sleep, Wang Yuling called the teacher in their class and got Yang Huiyun's phone number.

Xie Yan helped her family so much, and she's such a good friend of Panpan, so it's only right that she cares about them.

It was late at night, and fearing that the person across from her might be asleep, Wang Yuling waited until the next day before dialing Yang Huiyun's number.

After listening to the piano bell for a long time, no one answered in the end.

The same thing happened with several of them.

The couple sitting at the table remained silent.

Wang Lingyu spoke first, her voice hesitant, "I feel that child... might..."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Zhou Yishan looked serious, his stern eyes revealing a hint of regret. "I heard from Panpan that the girl is a very good student and can get first place in her grade."

The air fell silent again.

Xie Yan often came to play with Zhou Panpan, and Wang Yuling also saw her frequently. She was a very clever and well-behaved girl, calm, bold, and exceptionally outstanding.

Moreover, I heard that Xie Yan's mother raised Xie Yan alone. She only has one daughter. If something really happens to her, how will she survive?

As parents themselves, Wang Yuling's eyes welled up with tears just from thinking about it.

If they were still just speculating at this point, they would be truly certain once the winter break ended and school started in March.

Xie Yan's seat remained empty; she never came back.

Zhou Panpan's deskmate was also changed to someone else.

Not only Xie Yan, but Yang Huiyun also never came back.

Zhou Panpan wanted to wait outside Xie Yan's house, but a neighbor told her that the family hadn't been back for several months.

The mother and daughter seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing from Zhou Panpan's life.

He also disappeared from Shen Yan's life.

--------

A blank space.

Everything in sight was pure white, so dazzling that Xie Yan thought she was seeing the bright lights on an operating table again.

Still feeling the sadness from earlier, Xie Yan's eyes welled up and her nose stung.

[System, am I dead?]

The system replied: [Yes, but the death was quicker than in the original storyline, saving Yang Huiyun some money.]

Xie Yan remained silent for a long time.

It's hard to say what Xie Yan is feeling at this moment.

In just six months, she truly experienced what maternal love in an ordinary family feels like.

It's a feeling of being cherished, cared for, and loved, held dear in someone's heart.

If you ask Xie Yan if she lacks love, the answer is definitely yes.

Having grown up without parents, she was exceptionally sensible. It is said that children from poor families mature early, and she became even more sensible after her younger brother was born when she was ten.

At the same age as other children, she was raising her younger brother, just like other mothers.

When my younger brother is hungry, I need to feed him; when he cries, I need to comfort him.

But she was clearly a child at the time, and she also wanted her mother to hold her and comfort her.

As she grew older and more mature, she naturally stopped thinking about these things. She felt that she was already strong enough and indestructible.

But when Yang Huiyun became her mother, she could hold her mother's big hand and act coquettishly, as if she had really become a child again.

Having a mom is such a blessing.

What happened to Yang Huiyun in the original storyline?

Xie Yan composed herself, took a deep breath, and then asked.

[Emmm...] The system choked for a moment before whispering, [Well, he... he drowned himself...]

After all, a mother who loses her child will be in unbearable pain.

Xie Yan was mentally prepared and received the same answer as she expected.

But she put a letter in Yang Huiyun's bag a few days ago. It's unknown whether Yang Huiyun will change the outcome after reading it.

She tentatively asked the system a question, but the system refused to answer.

Now that you've shed your previous identity, the past is no longer relevant to you. You should focus on your future missions.

Get ready to welcome the new students!

In an instant, the world turned upside down, and Xie Yan's consciousness was suddenly scattered by an invisible force.

When she regained consciousness, she was already sitting on a soft leather sofa.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Xie Yan felt a different perspective than before; it was clear that this was an adult's body.

The system's excited voice rang in my mind: [Welcome, host, to the world of "Devilish CEO, Be Gentle, the Young Mistress Has Escaped Again!"]

The current basic physical condition of the host is as follows.

[Host: Xie Yan, 20 years old]

【HP: 95】

Beauty Rating: 91

[Intelligence Value: 38]

[Charm: 33]

Stamina: 25

[New player gift pack loading - Loading successful!]

[New players receive an initial gift pack worth 20 points! Please select the option you wish to add!]

[Friendly reminder: You can freely allocate the 20 points to different options!]

The string of numbers and the clanging sounds left Xie Yan completely bewildered.

Putting aside the mistake of spending the previous six months, is this the correct way for novice players to start?

She casually tossed her wavy hair behind her ear, exuding a慵懒 (yōnglǎn, meaning languid or lazy) charm in every gesture.

Xie Yan began to read it carefully.

She possesses a beauty score of 90, plus charm and intelligence score of 30.

Well, she's obviously a stupid, beautiful piece of trash now.

Oh, I have less than 30 minutes of energy left.

It's even worse now.

After a while, Xie Yan made up her mind.

Give me all my stamina!
