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

Shen Yan gently released Xie Yan's hand.

He then noticed the bandage wrapped around his wrist. His gaze shifted to his pale arm, and Shen Yan realized that he was naked from the waist up.

He took off his clothes and lay down in Xie Yan's house.

Still a little groggy from just waking up, Shen Yan stared blankly at the bandage on his wrist.

His memories of last night were fragmented; he must have had those symptoms again, but remarkably, he woke up today without any new injuries.

Even old injuries were carefully treated.

Xie Yan was sleeping in an uncomfortable position and wasn't sleeping very deeply. She woke up almost as soon as Shen Yan moved.

She squinted and looked up, only to see a pair of dark, bright eyes peeking at her from behind the blanket. The boy's hair was messy, like a bird's nest, and he was quite adorable.

Xie Yan bent down, reached out and touched Shen Yan's forehead, then touched her own.

The boy's body temperature was much lower than last night, but still a little higher than his own.

She probably still has a low-grade fever.

"How are you feeling? Are you still uncomfortable? You had a fever last night."

Xie Yan was even still wearing the black dress she wore to yesterday's banquet. Last night, Shen Yan was so clingy that she didn't have time to change her clothes, and she was so busy in the middle of the night that she forgot and just lay down to sleep.

She had been busy all night and her back and shoulders ached. When she stretched out her arms, you could hear her bones cracking.

Shen Yan wrapped the blanket tightly, his face completely covered, seemingly very concerned about the fact that he wasn't wearing any clothes.

He lowered his head and said in a soft voice, "Senior, I was drunk yesterday. If I said anything strange..."

Shen Yan felt very uncertain.

This has happened occasionally lately; he can't control his behavior and words, and even his memory is a bit confused, fragmented.

He didn't even remember the circumstances under which he took off his clothes. Wouldn't Xie Yan have seen all his ugly scars?

For so many years, Shen Yan had loathed himself in this state and had never let anyone see it. He never expected that he would be exposed so nakedly this time.

What he feared even more was whether he had said something last night that he himself didn't know, which might have made Xie Yan realize that he was different from others.

He hid it very well, not wanting to be discovered.

Xie Yan secretly observed him. Shen Yan's expression seemed clear-headed, indicating that he had returned to normal.

She silently breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Yes, he did mumble some drunken nonsense, but I didn't hear him clearly."

Shen Yan's tense body finally relaxed a little.

He had a terrible headache. Whether it was the high fever from last night or his mental confusion, it was making him feel unwell. His temples were throbbing with pain, his stomach ached, and he felt nauseous.

Shen Yan looked down at his wrist, feeling somewhat powerless.

The self-harm marks on her arm were too obvious, not to mention that the bandage was clearly put on by Xie Yan. Shen Yan organized her thoughts, waiting for Xie Yan to ask questions, thinking about how to cover it up.

Xie Yan didn't seem to want to ask any questions. She got up, went back to her room to change her clothes, and then came back with the water.

"Your temperature is still a little high, take some medicine."

After handing the pills and water glass to Shen Yan, Xie Yan sat down again and picked up her phone to check her takeout.

"...Why don't you wait a bit, I'll order you some millet porridge, have some breakfast before taking your medicine?"

Xie Yan's attitude was so natural that Shen Yan almost thought nothing had happened last night.

In the past, when he lost control and became delirious, he would see a room full of female ghosts. Every time, he would go crazy and attack those terrifying ghosts. When he woke up the next day, all the wounds he had inflicted on the ghosts would appear on his own body.

He couldn't tell which direction the knife was being swung; the tip might have been aimed at the ghost, or it might have been aimed at him.

The only hope is that in the midst of the madness, I'll trip over some debris to briefly regain my senses; of course, it would be even better if I could just knock myself unconscious.

Those memories were too painful, and Shen Yan would usually forget them automatically, only able to remember a vague outline. Often, it was from the moment he first saw the phantom that he would come to his senses, and by the time he came to his senses, it was already dawn.

Time seemed to be fast-forwarding for him.

His last conscious memory yesterday was of what he took something and who he hit.

As for what happened afterward, Shen Yan only remembered that last night didn't seem scary at all, and he even felt quite at ease.

But it seems like she feels very wronged.

He seemed to have cried his heart out while holding Xie Yan.

Shen Yan simply couldn't imagine that he would be shirtless, hugging someone and crying.

"no need."

Shen Yan sat up, obediently took her medicine, pursed her lips, and blushed slightly. "Senior, that dress..."

His shirt from yesterday was stained with blackened blood, so he couldn't wear it anymore, but he couldn't just go around naked forever.

"Oh right, wait a moment, I'll go find it for you."

Xie Yan then remembered that Shen Yan was still wrapped in a blanket, looking embarrassed that he had no clothes to wear.

She has a few oversized clothes that Shen Yan might be able to wear; she should find them and let him try them on.

Watching Xie Yan go back to her bedroom to find clothes, Shen Yan looked around the living room.

The house doesn't look very big, but it's very bright and airy.

Even though it's been raining a lot lately, the room is still very bright, with small lights around it.

The room was a bit messy because there were too many things in it.

Xie Yan's bag was left open and carelessly thrown on the coffee table. Shen Yan hadn't intended to pay attention to the bag, but he immediately noticed something.

His expression was calm; he tilted his head slightly and stared intently at it.

Five minutes later, Shen Yan put on a very loose black cardigan sweatshirt, which Xie Yan planned to wear with shorts. The shorts were completely hidden by the cardigan, it was very oversized.

But it fit Shen Yan perfectly at the moment; it was a casual black top, but he didn't have any undershirt underneath, so he could only zip it up and wear it.

He looks great in dark colors, which makes his skin appear even whiter, more delicate, and refined.

"Shen Yan, I didn't expect you to look so good in it," Xie Yan exclaimed sincerely.

Shen Yan pursed his lips, looking at the clothes he was wearing, and remained silent.

"Oh, right, and about yesterday, thank you so much, but it's inevitable that I'll cause you some trouble."

"It's alright, there's no trouble at all."

Shen Yan spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned.

Moreover, thanks to Xie Yan, he managed to have a peaceful Christmas Eve last night.

Xie Yan wanted Shen Yan to have some breakfast before leaving, but Shen Yan shook his head and left quickly.

Shen Yan looked down at the message Gu Jinhua had sent him, his face expressionless, telling him to get home immediately.

Although Xie Yan was still a little worried, she could only watch as Shen Yan acted as if nothing had happened, smiling sweetly as he said goodbye before turning and leaving.

He's such a good actor; no one has noticed anything amiss about him all these years.

As for the injuries on Shen Yan's body, neither of them asked about them or mentioned them openly, which was a rather strange tacit understanding.

Xie Yan was very sleepy, but suddenly she wasn't sleepy anymore.

When people are feeling irritable, they need to do something to distract themselves.

A couple of days ago, Xie Yan bought a few sachets to put in her closet. She took the sachets out of her bag and then searched for them for a long time.

That's strange, I can't find the fake amulet that Shen Yan gave her last time.

Although the contents inside were neither auspicious nor very useful, Xie Yan thought the little red brocade pouch was quite pretty and wanted to reuse it to store spices.

After searching for a long time without finding it, Xie Yan scratched her head and began to wonder if she had lost it somewhere.

Suddenly her phone rang. Xie Yan picked it up and saw that it was Xie Qingyu calling.

She was stunned.

What's going on? If they wanted to talk, they could just use telepathy, why did they have to make a phone call?

When the call connected, Xie Qingyu's urgent voice came through.

"Sis, I just heard about what happened yesterday. How are you? I heard you slapped someone several times? Does your hand hurt? I wish I had gone yesterday too!"

Xie Qingyu was fairly aware of his sister's fighting prowess.

Xie Yan sat back down on the sofa with her phone in hand, somewhat puzzled. "I'm fine, but why did you suddenly decide to call today?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end, and the voice sounded a bit listless.

"My mind is too messed up, my brainwaves are all jumbled up like a ball of yarn, it's clearer to just speak."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Xie Qingyu sighed, "I've gotten into trouble. I went out drinking yesterday and got really drunk. The bartender took my phone and called Bai Zhiwei to come pick me up. She didn't know where I lived, so she took me to a hotel, and then we..."

Xie Yan's eyes widened as she listened, and she stood up abruptly from the sofa, her head buzzing, her voice rising an octave.

"You two are asleep?!?"

"—We became sworn siblings overnight."

Xie Yan nearly choked to death on her own saliva.

"......ah?"

"......Um."

silence.

Still silent.

An eerie silence.

Good heavens, what kind of male lead pursues the female lead and they become sworn brothers?

No wonder Xie Qingyu said his mind was a complete mess.

His voice sounded a little slow, as if he was carefully choosing his words.

"Sis, am I really... really that bad?"

These past few days, Xie Qingyu hasn't asked Xie Yan for help with his work anymore. He's been struggling to understand the incomprehensible technical terms, but it's still incredibly difficult; he still can't understand what he doesn't understand.

If it weren't for Tan Qing's assistance, his skill level would have been exposed long ago.

They lack work skills and are incapable of completing tasks.

The transmigration novels he read all started with a cataclysmic disaster or a hellish beginning, and the protagonists always managed to do everything in a very powerful way and reach the pinnacle of life.

He started out with the protagonist's halo at its peak, boasting an impressive family background and top-notch power and status, yet he managed to mess up even something as simple as following the plot.

Bai Zhiwei also recorded the entire video of their sworn brotherhood ceremony, saying that at most they could only have a pure brotherhood in the future, and that she could never like him. She said that if they were together, it would be incest, and they would be struck by lightning.

Xie Qingyu was completely dumbfounded.

The task is completely impossible to complete.

Xie Yan was quite honest, "Yeah, anyway, you've been bad for a while now, I'm used to it."

Xie Qingyu was truly on the verge of a breakdown.

However, Xie Yan's mind wasn't on the plot right now. She offered a few perfunctory words of comfort and then subtly inquired about what happened last night.

Since Gu Jinhua called Shen Yan last night, it means the Gu family received the news, and Xie Qingyu should know about it as well.

His tone remained relatively calm, "...Well, those two people who got hit on the head aren't really hurt. Luckily, the plate they hit was quite thin. That pig surnamed Li was just fainting from hemorrhage, not from being knocked unconscious."

Hearing this, Xie Yan breathed a slight sigh of relief. She didn't want Shen Yan to get into big trouble because of this.

"But Gu Laoliu must be pretty angry. Shen Yan will probably get a scolding when he gets home, but I think he did nothing wrong this time! I'll beat up every one of those lecherous hooligans I see!"

Xie Yan pursed her lips. "When you get back, keep an eye on him and say a good word for him, since it's because of me."

"Of course, I can tell right from wrong."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Qingyu's expression was cold and somber, with an indescribable sense of loneliness.

He was filled with regret for going out drinking and socializing the night before and not attending the Xie family's banquet.

Such a big thing happened, and Xie Yan almost got taken advantage of, but he only found out about it from someone else the next day.

Thankfully, they heard Shen Yan crack open the skulls of the two men, and they were immediately taken to the hospital. Otherwise, Xie Qingyu would have rushed to the Li family and used his unparalleled strength to turn him into a real pig's head.

Xie Qingyu was in a taxi heading to the Gu family's house. He had spent half the night at the hotel swearing brotherhood with his sworn brother. His coat was wrinkled and he still smelled of alcohol.

He really wants to go home now, to his home in another world.

Over there, his only task was studying, and his only goal was grades. Although he felt stressed all the time, at least he lived a pure life.

There are so many different kinds of people and things in this world that Xie Qingyu is feeling overwhelmed.

The alcohol really didn't taste good at all. He drank a lot of alcohol and still had to go to the toilet to vomit. His face was covered in tears, but he had to wipe them away and go back. He maintained his domineering CEO demeanor and continued to socialize. He vomited several times a night.

Those businessmen are disgusting too. They use all sorts of tricks to send all kinds of women into their private rooms, into their arms, and even into their beds. Some of them are even drugged and rolling around naked. Xie Qingyu immediately called 120 to carry them away.

The male protagonist is usually a cold-faced iceberg who remains unmoved by temptation. This is described in just a few words in the text, but Xie Qingyu wants to experience it firsthand.

He didn't even tell Xie Yan about these disgusting things, afraid of offending his sister's ears.

He felt nauseous every day, couldn't eat, and didn't get enough sleep.

So he wanted to eat a couple of bites of Xie Yan's cooking to reminisce, but he didn't get to eat much.

Xie Qingyu misses the days when he was at home, even though Xie Yan often beat him up and made him scream. But now he thinks about it and feels so happy.

Go ahead and beat him up. After that, the two of them still have to eat at the same table. After he finishes eating, he has to obediently wash the pots and pans and clean up. Once he's done cleaning up, Xie Yan's anger will subside.

The usually cold and intimidating mask of a domineering CEO shattered quietly. Xie Qingyu stared blankly at the scenery outside the car window, his expression stunned, his lips clenched tightly, and his eyes red.

The phone vibrated twice. Xie Qingyu took a deep breath before looking down at it.

The message was sent by Tan Qing; it contained a video.

Upon hearing the news in the morning, Xie Qingyu immediately instructed Tan Qing to retrieve the surveillance video from last night's banquet. It seems Tan Qing was very efficient.

Xie Qingyu's expression was gloomy, and he was prepared to be angered by the content of the video.

But when he saw the pig grab Xie Yan's arm and heard the disgusting things it said, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but clench his fists so tightly they cracked.

"Hello, Master." Xie Qingyu practically squeezed out the words through gritted teeth.

"I'm not going home, let's go to the city center hospital."
