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

Time flies, and it's already the end of September.

As the temperature gradually drops, more and more people on campus are wearing long sleeves.

In the mathematics department counselor's office, a teacher in his thirties was settling something down with the female student in front of him.

The girl had a beautiful and elegant demeanor, with regular features; she was a stunning beauty at first glance.

Wen Yutong's long hair was gently gathered at the back of her head, half-draped, and she held some newly received documents in her hand.

"Take this back and give it to these guys to fill out. The registration deadline is after National Day, so don't delay."

Wen Yutong nodded, "Okay, teacher, I'll go in a bit."

The teacher looked at Wen Yutong in front of her, as if suddenly remembering something, and asked, "You asked Shen Yan from the second year last time, what happened? Did he apply?"

Shen Yan had already won a national award during his freshman year. If he can participate again this time, there is a very high chance that he will win another trophy for the department.

Last year, all the national awards for computer science and physics/chemistry were won by Tsinghua University, while only the national award for mathematics was won by their school, which made their department very proud.

Hearing this, Wen Yutong shook her head, looking somewhat helpless. "I asked him, and he didn't want to go, saying it was pointless."

"..." The teacher sighed, rubbing his forehead.

A genius is indeed a genius; he can easily get first place and even finds it boring.

"Sigh, if you see him again sometime, please try to persuade him for the teacher."

"Uh-huh."

Wen Yutong turned to leave.

Just before leaving, I heard the teacher behind me chatting with other teachers again.

"...Wow, that's amazing! Xie Yan really passed the exam?"

"Yes, I heard that the teachers at the Institute of Intelligent Technology were also quite surprised, especially since all three subjects were perfect scores, including math."

"What?! Perfect scores in three subjects?! When did she learn that?! Wasn't she always filming before?"

Because Xie Yan's application to change majors was so absurd, the Department of Intelligent Engineering really didn't expect her to pass the exam, and didn't even set any questions specifically for her.

All three questions were from the make-up exams in the second semester of sophomore year, so I just used them directly.

The make-up exam questions are easy for everyone to understand; basically, everyone's content with a score of 60, and nobody's aiming for a perfect score of 100.

Therefore, ignore the more difficult questions and just do the questions you know how to do. Just make sure you pass the minimum score.

This exam included some questions beyond the syllabus, involving knowledge that even the top students in their major, Artificial Intelligence, hadn't studied in their third or fourth year. Even top students in their major might not get full marks on these questions.

Thinking about it this way, Xie Yan is really amazing. She seamlessly transitioned from the entertainment industry to becoming a top student. What does that mean?

Could it be that the previous image of being so stupid as to not know the difference between grains was all part of the persona?

Is this her true self? A top student?

"But it's hard to say. The students at the School of Intelligent Systems don't seem happy about it. They're making a fuss, saying it's unfair for an art student to transfer like this."

"That's true, after all, her art exam score was indeed low. So what should we do? Should we just not transfer her?"

"Hmm... I heard they're asking her to participate this time too, and if she gets a good ranking, things will be much easier..."

Wen Yutong slowed her pace as she left, listening to the teachers' chatter, and then slowly went out the door.

Her delicate brows furrowed; she simply didn't believe it.

How could Xie Yan possibly get full marks in three subjects?

First of all, she hadn't been attending school at all before, but the key question is, how could she possibly have gotten full marks in those two computer-related subjects?

The next class was about to start, so Wen Yutong returned to the classroom, handed out the registration forms to several students in the department, and then suddenly received a phone call.

She frowned and looked at the name on the screen: Li He.

It was a senior she had contacted before, the former assistant director of "Wilderness Law," who helped her cause Xie Yan a little trouble.

As a result, the plan failed, Li He lost his job, and was targeted by the Bai family. Now, no one in the industry dares to hire him.

He was a media studies graduate, and if he wanted to make a name for himself, he would have no chance of success if he was blacklisted within the industry.

Therefore, Li He has been frequently contacting Wen Yutong recently, wanting her to take responsibility, since he did those things for Wen Yutong's sake.

Wen Yutong walked out of the classroom to a corner, her voice gentle yet anxious. She said she had tried her best to help her senior find a solution, but her parents scolded her.

In the end, it was Li He who advised Wen Yutong not to be so anxious for him, saying that it would make him feel sorry for her.

The stupid and lecherous man was easily manipulated.

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yutong composed herself and went back to class.

When noon finally arrived, Wen Yutong searched everywhere in the cafeteria for Shen Yan.

Shen Yan has classes this morning and afternoon, and judging from his schedule, he should be on the second floor of the cafeteria at this time.

Sure enough, I saw a thin, frail figure in the corner.

"Shen Yan, what a coincidence?"

Wen Yutong, carrying a tray, smiled charmingly, "There are too many people in the cafeteria. Do you mind if I sit here and share a table with you, senior?"

The temperature difference between day and night has been large recently, but it's not cold at noon. Shen Yan was wearing a dark green long-sleeved shirt, which made his complexion look even whiter and his eyes calm.

He glanced up and said in a gentle voice, "Of course I don't mind."

Shen Yan looked no different from usual, fair-skinned and handsome. Only upon close inspection could one notice the very faint blue circles under his eyes.

Wen Yutong smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, quite confident in her charm.

Although everyone says Shen Yan is a celibate junior, he is always quite gentle and kind to me, isn't he?

However, her heart was completely devoted to Gu Qingyu, and recently she heard that Shen Yan was apparently an illegitimate child. Compared to him, she was still far inferior.

"That's good. By the way, Shen Yan, I recently discovered that the pork ribs at that window stall are really delicious."

Wen Yutong picked up a piece of pork rib from her plate and placed it in Shen Yan's bowl, looking at him intently. "Would you like to try some?"

Her eyes are round and appear harmless. When she gazes at others with her bright, expressive eyes, it's easy for people to mistakenly believe she's affectionate.

The dark red ribs were coated in a thick sauce, which stained the rice around them, making them look rather plain.

It's obviously not as delicious as Xie Yan's.

Shen Yan's expression remained unchanged, his tone distant and polite. "Thank you."

His temperament is truly unique.

Sitting in the noisy and bustling university cafeteria, he still managed to stand out from the crowd, seemingly out of place, or even from a different world.

People are visual creatures. Sitting opposite him, Wen Yutong felt a sense of satisfaction as she listened to the gossipy glances coming from all directions.

But she hadn't forgotten why she came, so she brought up the matter of participating in the provincial competition again.

"This provincial competition will be held in the city next to us. Jianghai City is very close to us. Teacher Li said he really hopes you can go."

The boy poked around in the white rice with his chopsticks, his eyes seemingly unfocused.

"Jianghai City..."

That's not far at all.

He grew up in Jianghai City and was moved to Yunchuan City three years ago. He has hardly ever left the province.

His adoptive parents called him a few days ago, so Shen Yan is planning to go back to Jianghai City for the National Day holiday.

"How about it, do you want to reconsider? Anyway, the registration deadline isn't until after National Day."

Shen Yan pursed his lips. "We'll see."

"OK then."

After that, Wen Yutong chatted with him about all sorts of random things, and finally managed to get the question she most wanted to know out of him.

"Shen Yan, you know my family situation is a bit special. Xie Yan is like an older sister to me, so I wanted to know how she's doing at your house. Is she alright? Last time at the restaurant, you left after only a few words..."

Wen Yutong had previously heard that Xie Yan's life at the Gu family was not good, and that she was often kicked out of Gu Qingyu's office. Last time, she wanted to find out more information, but Xie Yan ran away too quickly, and she didn't have time to ask any more questions.

Wen Yutong was very annoyed.

Since Xie Yan moved out of the Xie family home, she has felt that everything is inconvenient. She used to be such an easy person to fool, but recently she has suddenly become difficult to deal with.

The gentle and beautiful girl bit her lower lip, somewhat cautiously asking, "Is your brother good to my sister? Do you think he likes my sister?"

Suddenly Xie Yan was mentioned, and Shen Yan lowered his eyes and frowned slightly.

Since that evening when he kicked Xie Yan out of his room, the two haven't spoken for several days.

He hasn't gone out for a stroll these past few nights, and he doesn't know if Xie Yan has made any late-night snacks.

After a long pause, Shen Yan finally spoke.

"My senior is a very nice person, and she cooks well too. My brother..." He paused for a moment, "...maybe he'll like her in the future."

This surprised Wen Yutong greatly, and she immediately retorted, "She can't cook."

As if suddenly remembering something, Wen Yutong suddenly covered her mouth and laughed.

"Oh, you must be referring to the fish she fried on that old show. Actually, my sister never cooks. She's never even stepped into a kitchen since she was a child. She probably doesn't even know how to steam rice."

She suddenly sighed, a look of melancholy on her face. "Sometimes I really envy my older sister. She never has to do these things. I'm not so lucky. I've been learning to cook since junior high..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yan tilted his head, his dark eyes looking both innocent and bewildered, as if he were very curious. "You mean she can't cook?"

"Yes, my mom said that my sister used to put the electric kettle directly on the stove and turn it on to heat it, which almost blew up the kitchen. After that, the family wouldn't let her into the kitchen, and she never learned to do it until now... oh no, until she moved to your house."

Wen Yutong frowned, looking somewhat troubled. "My sister was spoiled by Mom and Dad at home and never suffered any hardship, so I'm afraid that if she doesn't do something well, she might be wronged by President Gu."

After a long while, there was still no response from the other side.

Wen Yutong looked up and saw that even Shen Yan's eyes were unfocused and seemed to be lost in thought.

“…Shen Yan?” She waved her hand. “Oh, right, there’s one more thing. My sister might be participating in the provincial competition this time too. She seems to have some misunderstandings about me. I was hoping you could help me take care of her…”

"talk later."

Shen Yan was slender and thin, but her fingers gently caressed the chopsticks without replying.

He even seemed somewhat indifferent.

Wen Yutong was secretly delighted.

Even someone as shrewd and diplomatic as Shen Yan didn't like Xie Yan.

This suggests that she may not be doing well in the Gu family; perhaps she made another foolish mistake and is not well-liked.

He ate his meal in a half-hearted manner, and by the end, Shen Yan had barely touched the rice in his bowl.

The rib, now saturated with sauce, looked greasy and disgusting.

Shen Yan subtly pressed his stomach with his other hand, feeling a little nauseous.

Meanwhile, Xie Yan was lying on her bed at home, fiddling with her phone.

Her situation is special right now. Her teacher called her to tell her about her grades and the reaction from the School of Intelligent Systems. All she could say was that her transfer to another department had made things a bit difficult for the school.

Xie Yan opened the school forum and saw that the first post was about her.

[Family members, is it really reasonable for art students to switch to engineering? I won't name names, but those who know, know. (Image unrelated to the topic)]

Don't even mention it, this can still be shared, money really makes a difference.

Are you talking about Xie Yan? I heard she transferred after passing the exam, and got full marks in all subjects!

[Bullshit! Her exam wasn't made public. Who knows which teacher she bribed? Anyway, the score is definitely bought! How could someone who never comes to school get a perfect score?!]

[Can those "Celestial Dragons" please stop squeezing out the living space of ordinary people like us? She wants to be a star, so she can study acting; now that she doesn't want to be, she can seamlessly switch majors. How can that be? How much effort did we put in to get into the Institute of Intelligent Systems? What were my scores on the college entrance exam, and what were hers? What gives her the right to do this?!]

Several students from our department went to protest to the director today; we'll see how it ends.

I disagree. I hate Xie Yan even more now. How about we make a scene and get her trending on social media?

[+1 upstairs]

Xie Yan flipped through the pages for a long time, feeling completely at peace.

Although the official solution has not yet been announced, her teacher has already told her that she should participate in a university competition and must achieve a very good ranking in order to be allowed to transfer to the university without being given special consideration; otherwise, it would be difficult to convince the public.

Xie Yan had no objection to this and wholeheartedly agreed.

Nothing is fairer than grades, and she liked this simple, straightforward, and obvious solution.

Moreover, the exam was held in Jianghai City, which Xie Yan felt very familiar with.

She had been wanting to find time to go back to Jianghai City to check on Yang Huiyun's whereabouts, and this was a good opportunity.

However, during the exam, there will be teachers organizing and leading the group, so she definitely won't be able to leave the group. Therefore, she can only take advantage of the National Day holiday.

So Xie Yan started packing her luggage.

As the weather got cooler, she put on several more long-sleeved shirts.

While rummaging through drawers and cabinets to tidy up, Xie Yan suddenly remembered that Shen Yan next door seemed to always wear long sleeves and never short sleeves.

The idea only went through her mind briefly before Xie Yan understood.

He was covered in wounds, on his arms and legs, and he definitely didn't want anyone to see them.

Xie Yan felt a little sorry for her.

But the incident a few days ago was too awkward, and Shen Yan has been ignoring her for the past few days.

Sometimes when they bumped into each other at home, she would try to apologize, but Shen Yan would just lower his head and walk right past her, pretending not to see her. He was so stubborn and inflexible.

But Xie Yan felt that Shen Yan, with his own little emotions, seemed more real and vivid.

After all, no one can maintain a smile all the time; such perfection would seem fake.

[System, are you really unable to find the name of that medicine?]

The system readily complied, saying, "I'm not Baidu, I was upgrading when you went in, I didn't know."

The system absolutely did not want Xie Yan to discover Shen Yan's illness, fearing that Xie Yan would be soft-hearted and cause trouble, thus derailing its mission.

[Shen Yan was talking about vitamins, so what's the problem? It's perfectly normal to take vitamins and calcium supplements at this age.]

Xie Yan frowned, looking somewhat annoyed.

She didn't believe it at all.

If it were vitamins, why would Shen Yan react so strongly, even throwing the bottle away?

He definitely doesn't want himself to find out, so there must be something wrong.

Could Shen Yan have contracted some serious illness?

Xie Yan wanted to investigate, but a few letters on the medicine bottle had been cut off, and the name was incomplete, making it difficult for her to find out.

She's been trying out all sorts of letter combinations these past few days.

Just as Xie Yan's thoughts were wandering aimlessly, she heard Xie Qingyu's voice sounding like he was about to shatter in her mind.

Sister... my whole life... has been like walking on thin ice...

Xie Yan: [? What's going on?]

Xie Qingyu: [You'd never guess what I'm doing right now :)]

Xie Yan: [Spit it out!]

Xie Qingyu smiled: [I'm attending a math class at the company right now :)]
