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

Xie Yan was a little stunned when she saw the person in front of her.

Bai Zhiwei? What's she doing here?

I just learned from Xie Qingyu's phone call that Bai Zhiwei had gone back to her hometown, and then I actually ran into her downstairs.

What luck is this.

You really shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.

But Bai Zhiwei's hometown is also Jianghai. Is the world really that small?

[This is part of the plot, Bao. This scene shows the female lead and the villain having a chance encounter, so they're obviously in the same place.]

Xie Yan: [? But weren't they strangers now? Did they meet again recently?]

System: 【…Ignore it!】

Ok.

Xie Yan didn't have time to talk to the system. She first told Bai Zhiwei to call the police and have the exhibitionist on the ground arrested.

"Senior, what brings you to Jianghai? Is your hometown around here too?"

After calling the police, Bai Zhiwei approached with a look of surprise and delight. Looking at Xie Yan, who was now in an incredibly casual style, she felt that her senior was so different and charming today.

Xie Yan forcefully pressed down on the person struggling beneath her. Some stray hairs fell out during the movement, falling messily onto her face, yet she looked exceptionally dashing.

"No, I came here to find someone."

Just as the two were about to say something, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

"Xie Yan! Is she Xie Yan?!"

"Huh? Who? Xie Yan?"

"The one in the middle wearing the shirt! She just pinned that pervert down twice!"

Although Xie Yan is a retired, relatively unknown actress, her face is still very distinctive.

However, her attire was far too casual: a black plaid shirt, jeans, Crocs, and her hair casually clipped up.

She looked like a college student going downstairs to pick up takeout, a stark contrast to her usual polished and fully made-up appearance on screen; she was almost unrecognizable.

But now that they've been recognized, many young people immediately took out their phones, some taking photos and others recording videos.

Even if someone is obscure, they're still a celebrity. How often do ordinary people get to see a celebrity?

That's really strange!

Xie Yan was particularly uncomfortable with being watched by everyone; she used to be someone who typed on a keyboard in the dark.

Right now, I just feel like I'm being watched by everyone.

She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what expression to make, so she could only keep a straight face and increase the pressure on her hands, causing the pervert to howl in pain.

Fortunately, the local police station was nearby, and the police arrived at the scene in five minutes and took the old scoundrel away.

The police briefly inquired about the situation from Bai Zhiwei and learned from the female student that this was a repeat offender.

The girl was only 15 years old. She was walking home from her tutoring class with her schoolbag on her back when she was forced to watch something offensive. Then that perverted guy actually dared to follow her all the way to the downtown area!

The little girl was terrified and ran faster and faster, crying as she went. Bai Zhiwei, who was sitting by the roadside and had only eaten half of her meal, stopped her and asked her what was wrong.

Then came the scene at the beginning, where Bai Zhiwei bravely confronted and killed the pervert.

As the police car drove away, Bai Zhiwei urged the little girl to go home quickly. Then, seeing many people taking pictures of Xie Yan, she pulled her away from there.

It's a shame she ate half of the clay pot rice noodles.

"Senior, it's rare to run into you in Jianghai. Thank you for helping me hold that pervert down earlier. Let me treat you to dinner."

Bai Zhiwei looked at Xie Yan with sparkling eyes. Xie Yan had her hair up today and looked very capable and refreshing.

"No need, I'll treat you."

Xie Yan looked at the girl in front of her and felt that she was unusually different today.

Most of the time I saw her before, she was quite quiet, which fits the female protagonist character in domineering CEO novels who has had her edges smoothed out by life. Although she is young, she seems to be preoccupied with worries all the time.

But today was different; she seemed much more cheerful and even dared to catch a pervert on the street.

There weren't many good restaurants nearby, so the two of them ended up finding a rice noodle shop and sitting down.

Bai Zhiwei really loves rice noodles.

The rice noodles were really delicious.

Xie Yan is fine with eating anything, just something to fill her stomach.

As if recalling her fierce demeanor just now, Bai Zhiwei felt a little embarrassed in front of her senior, and lowered her head with a slight blush.

"Um, senior, I'm not usually like this."

Xie Yan chuckled, "What?"

The street-side shops weren't well-lit, let alone the deadly overhead lights.

When ordinary people are exposed to this kind of lighting, all their flaws are laid bare, such as uneven facial bone structure and acne scars.

But Xie Yan's face is perfect. Her facial features are smooth, her skin is fair and flawless, and her beautiful features are stunning even without makeup. Her hair, even when casually pulled up, exudes an indescribable aura.

She wore an ordinary shirt with an air of high-end luxury, and people would believe she was wearing clothes worth five figures.

Fortunately, they sat in the innermost seats when they came in, otherwise Xie Yan would still have attracted a lot of attention sitting inside.

Bai Zhiwei's heart pounded as she was gazed at by Xie Yan's smiling eyes.

The senior student is so incredibly beautiful, she forgot what she was going to say.

“...like that…” she said dryly.

Xie Yan burst into laughter.

The two chatted casually while eating for a while, when Bai Zhiwei suddenly became downcast and said that she had something she had to tell her senior. She pursed her lips as she spoke.

"Senior, I signed with Starway Entertainment a few days ago. I've taken out an advance of two million for emergencies, and I'll pay the company back when I make money."

Xie Yan nodded knowingly, then took a big slurp of rice noodles.

It's burning hot!

The system suddenly announced, "Quick! The mission point has arrived!"

Xie Yan blinked, not quite understanding.

But soon, she frowned.

What the hell?! They made her splash water in Bai Zhiwei's face?!

She didn't have any water on hand, only piping hot rice noodle soup. If she spilled this bowl...

Bai Zhiwei might go down, or she might go in.

System: [Do you even remember your character? The vicious female supporting character! Every woman who appears around the male lead gets splashed with water by you—that's how unreasonable you are!]

Xie Yan: […Divine Metal.]

Even gold miners can't find such pure divine gold.

Xie Yan: [I won't splash it; I won't earn this point.]

"That's great! Work hard in the future, and you'll definitely become a big star."

Thinking about Xiao Bai's life in the entertainment industry afterward, Xie Yan felt terrible. She was exploited and harassed by her boss at the company, and tripped up by various supporting actresses on set.

Is this the female lead? I feel sorry for her.

It's so much more fun being a supporting female character.

Xie Yan looked up and saw Bai Zhiwei looking touched. "Senior, you're so kind. I thought you would be unhappy."

"..."

Kid, you've got it all figured out! You almost ended up celebrating the Water Splashing Festival.

"Senior, can I hug you?"

Before Xie Yan could even speak, the girl gave her a bear hug and wrapped her arms tightly around her waist.

Xie Yan had only a faint scent of shampoo on her, which smelled sweet and pleasant from her warm body temperature.

Bai Zhiwei has done a lot of work over the years and is quite strong. Xie Yan has a slender waist, so she easily hugged her.

She rested her chin on Xie Yan's shoulder and muttered softly.

"Senior, I actually think you deserve better. President Gu is not good enough for you."

Although it's not good to say that about the boss, she now knows that President Gu is not a bad person, but President Gu is still... how to say it, it's hard to explain.

Such a wonderful person as my senior deserves a boyfriend who is even more loyal and loves her more.

Mr. Gu is hopelessly blind; he doesn't even like such an outstanding and beautiful woman.

Could it be that President Gu has been putting on an act all along, and actually prefers men?

Bai Zhiwei was startled by her own wild imagination.

Xie Yan was stunned and didn't know how to react. She was sitting there peacefully when she was suddenly forcibly controlled, and she was quite at a loss.

Thinking back to the last time I was physically controlled, it seems like it was the last time.

After a while, Xie Yan lowered her hands, which had been raised in a gesture of surrender, and gently patted Bai Zhiwei's back. "What's wrong? Why do I feel like you're suddenly in a bad mood?"

"Yeah... I just feel like being a girl is so hard."

Bai Zhiwei sighed and reluctantly let go of her senior's waist.

It feels so good, my senior is so fragrant and soft.

"After I got back yesterday, I went to my aunt's house, and some things made me realize that life is truly unpredictable."

Bai Zhiwei didn't really like her aunt's family. Her uncle favored sons over daughters, and her aunt followed suit. Her first child was a daughter, and she risked being caught for having more children than allowed by the one-child policy to have a son.

She went back yesterday to repay the money and get the IOU back, only to discover that her younger cousin, who had good grades, had dropped out of high school to work, saying it was to support her younger brother's college education.

However, her good-for-nothing cousin only managed a combined score of 250 in six subjects!!!

What the hell is the point of going to university?!

Bai Zhiwei's financial situation has improved somewhat, and she's not as anxious as before. She spoke up for her younger cousin, only to be met with a sarcastic remark from her aunt.

She says she's now a big city dweller and rich, so naturally she doesn't understand the hardships her family endured as poor.

Bai Zhiwei was furious and immediately wanted to take her cousin away, thinking that at worst she could earn more money so that her cousin could at least go to university.

As a result, my cousin was also tamed, saying that she did it voluntarily because her brother's tuition was expensive and she wanted to help ease the burden on her family. She has become a "brother-supporting demon".

Bai Zhiwei was so angry that her head was buzzing.

But this was her cousin's own choice, and she wouldn't listen to anything Bai Zhiwei said. What could Bai Zhiwei do?

She suddenly realized that she was already very lucky to be born into a family where both her parents loved her.

Although her life was tough, she was happier than many others; one should be content.

Bai Zhiwei sighed bitterly, "My cousin's name is Liu Pandi. Senior, can you imagine that there are still people with such names in this day and age?"

Xie Yan's mood also darkened. She used a spoon to skim the cilantro and oil from her bowl, unsure of what to say.

If she was forced to drop out of school, that would be fine. As long as she was willing to improve, Bai Zhiwei could easily afford the tuition fees now. But once a person's mindset is conditioned, there's really no way to change it.

"...So I've been feeling really emotional these past two days. It's already so hard for girls in this world. Senior, you must find someone who loves you in the future."

Bai Zhiwei looked very serious, so Xie Yan pursed her lips and hummed in agreement.

The system was displeased. [What are you humming about? Where's your unwavering love for the male lead? Where's your acting skill?!]

Xie Yan, [Xiao Bai seems so sincere, so private, hehe]

System: [Holy crap! You've gone astray like your brother!]

Xie Yan: [Hehe]

The system suddenly understood 2222's sorrow.

After finishing her meal, Bai Zhiwei had to leave; she needed to go to her uncle's house the next day to repay the money.

Over the past few years, she has borrowed money from almost all her relatives, owing each of them at least ten thousand or eight thousand yuan.

When her family was doing well, they often tried to curry favor with her, but after they fell from grace, borrowing money from them became incredibly difficult.
