The host and the protagonist had a happy ending again [Quick Transmigration]

The alley next to the school has long been abandoned, and no one passes by here. The streetlights are old and dilapidated, and a dark shadow is vaguely visible on the wall.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the noise of students leaving their evening study session outside the alley woke Xu Ran, who was huddled in the corner. He twitched his fingers slightly and opened his eyes.

The air was thick with the smell of rust. There was a deep wound on my shoulder that was already tingling with pain. Crimson blood dripped down my arm, leaving dark marks on the stone slab.

Xu Ran glanced around at his surroundings and roughly figured out his current situation. This body had obviously been beaten and left here for a long time, and the bloodless body was a bit cold.

"Host, are you alright? I've applied pain shielding to you." The system's somewhat anxious voice rang in his mind.

Xu Ran's body was numb on one side, but thankfully she could still move. "Thank goodness, thank you."

Although it doesn't hurt, the weakness caused by blood loss is never pleasant.

Xu Ran is an intern at the Quick Transmigration Bureau. The system he's bound to is responsible for protecting the protagonist's physical and mental health and maintaining world stability. This is the first world he's entered; only after successfully completing the mission can he and the system be promoted to full-fledged employees.

The protagonist is Pei Xudong, his nominal older brother, but he is Pei's father's illegitimate son.

The reason it is said to be "in name" is because the original owner was not Pei's father's child at all. His birth mother was an ambitious woman who, after becoming pregnant, did not know who the father of the child was, so she simply plotted against Pei's father, wanting to use the child to enter the wealthy family.

However, Pei's father and his first wife had a very deep relationship. Despite all her scheming, the original owner's birth mother only received five million, and the original owner was kept by her side.

When the original owner was five years old, his birth mother died of illness. He was taken back to the Pei family, which caused Madam Pei to become depressed and estranged from her father.

Pei's father and mother didn't actually hold a grudge against the original owner of this body. Although they couldn't get close to him, they didn't mistreat him either. Even though Pei Xudong couldn't accept this younger brother, he simply ignored him. Perhaps everything would return to normal once the original owner came of age and moved out.

But in the year the original owner turned sixteen, he unexpectedly learned that he was not Pei's father's child. The original owner was used to the life of a rich second-generation. He was afraid that everything he had would be taken away after the truth was exposed. He could not accept becoming an orphan whose mother died early and whose father was unknown. In a daze, he got into trouble with some thugs outside the school. The original owner was powerless and was beaten half to death. It was at this time that Xu Ran transmigrated.

According to the original plot, the original owner couldn't keep things to herself and was discovered by Pei's father. The original owner became emotional and had a huge argument with him. At that time, Pei's father was driving, and the two of them were in a car accident and could not be saved.

The incident was ultimately ruled an accident, but the secret that the original owner was not Pei's father's son was also revealed. Because of the neglect and resentment she had suffered from her husband for more than ten years, Madam Pei was in great pain. Already suffering from depression, she could not bear the torment and finally jumped off the high building.

Pei Xudong lost all his relatives, and the Pei family fell into turmoil overnight because of the lack of a leader. He gave up his studies and devoted all his efforts to saving the Pei family, but he died at the young age of thirty-two due to overwork.

"Now that the host has arrived, as long as the host doesn't harm the Pei family, our mission will be completed easily!"

The system's voice carried a hint of excitement; the beginner's tasks were indeed very simple, and the main system hadn't lied to it!

Is it easy? Xu Ran recalled the plot. From Pei's father to Pei Xudong, no one in the Pei family had a good end. He didn't think it was just an accident.

When the Pei family was in trouble, who else was involved? After the original owner learned the truth, what was the deal with those few ill-intentioned people she came into contact with? A fierce glint flashed in Xu Ran's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her injury and weakness.

His vision blurred, and he swayed after taking a few steps. The system volunteered to hack into Xu Ran's phone and call a car for him.

After arriving at the hospital, my wound was bandaged and I was given an IV drip of glucose. I figured the IV would take several more hours, so I didn't want to suffer in this body any longer. I went into my system space to watch a movie.

Just as the plot reached its most exciting moment, Xu Ran's expression hardened. "Did you hear anything?"

The system shook its head blankly.

As soon as it entered her body, she was overwhelmed by a feeling of weakness. Her originally clear mind became somewhat dizzy. Xu Ran picked up her phone and saw five missed calls.

Two came from Pei's father, and three came from Pei Xudong.

  

Even though she had blocked out the pain, Xu Ran still felt a headache coming on.

Before I could figure out how to explain, my phone rang again.

The note simply reads "Pei Xudong".

Xu Ran took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. "Feed?"

"Dad said you didn't come home. Where are you?" The voice on the phone was cold and distant, revealing no emotion.

In the original owner's memories, Pei Xudong was a very "cold" person. He was not close to anyone except Madam Pei, and he had a natural resistance to the original owner.

If you don't like it, why call to show your concern?

Pei Xudong, like his mother, is a very soft-hearted person.

Hearing the voice of the protagonist described in the story made Xu Ran feel like he had truly entered this world, and the words in the story became the people around him.

If he hadn't come, Madam Pei would have died from falling to her death. Pei Xudong would have witnessed his mother's body being shattered to pieces, and that crimson stain would have become a nightmare that haunted him for the rest of his life.

Every time he woke up in the middle of the night, the pain was excruciating. Pei Xudong was rapidly decaying under this daily torment.

At thirty, while others were full of energy, he was nearing the end of his life.

Xu Ran glanced at the nearly finished IV drip and said, "I'm at the hospital. Sorry, I'll be back soon."

His voice was unexpectedly gentle, causing Pei Xudong on the other end of the phone to pause in surprise for a moment. Normally, Xu Ran would have retorted with, "I don't need your pretense!"

Realizing the meaning behind Xu Ran's words, Pei Xudong stood up and said, "Which hospital? I'll come pick you up."

Xu Ran glanced at her school uniform, her tone uncertain, "System, isn't Pei Xudong in college? Why is he home?"

The system browsed through its database and found, "He's on summer vacation."

Xu Ran tugged at his backpack, his meaning quite clear.

"Um... isn't he a college student? So his vacation must start earlier than yours."

Xu Ran: "Don't tell me I have to go to school in Yuan's place."

The system nodded somewhat guiltily, then, remembering that Xu Ran couldn't see, it added, "Um... I still have to take the college entrance exam."

Xu Ran: ...

"It's alright, host. Once we leave the Pei family, the sky's the limit! The Pei family's feelings towards 'Xu Ran' are complicated; they're not close to him. As long as we don't offend them, we can go traveling for the next few years!"

How did things develop like this? Xu Ran sat blankly in the back seat of Pei Xudong, wanting to speak several times, but seeing Pei Xudong's icy expression, she swallowed her words.

As the protagonist, Pei Xudong naturally has a very outstanding appearance. He actually resembles his mother, with softer features, misty gray eyes, and droopy corners, making him an approachable face.

But Pei Xudong's eyes were indifferent, his style was meticulous, and he was distant from people. Even his gentle face was covered with a layer of frost.

The black shirt accentuated his tall and slender figure, but also made him seem more distant.

The atmosphere inside the car was tense, so Xu Ran simply closed his eyes and let the system play a movie for him.

When they arrived at the Pei family villa, Pei Xudong stopped the car and suddenly realized that Xu Ran had been too quiet all the way, a far cry from the lively person she had been before.

He assumed the other person was injured and lacked energy, but he couldn't let them sleep in the car.

"Xu Ran, wake up."

Pei Xudong felt that his tone was not harsh and should not have disturbed the other party, but Xu Ran, who had just closed her eyes, suddenly opened them and frantically hit the car window, which aggravated the injury on her shoulder and turned her face pale.

His eyes were filled with fear, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at him intently and blinked a few times before his gaze seemed to finally focus, and his tense body slowly relaxed.

Pei Xudong frowned slightly, his tone still cold and hard: "What's wrong?"

Xu Ran shook her head: "It's okay, let's get off the bus."

It's nothing, I just didn't expect the movie randomly selected by the system to be a horror movie. But at this moment, the system itself is so scared that it's shrinking into his mind and crying. Xu Ran can't blame it.

Pei Xudong leaned against the car for a few seconds, and only after seeing that Xu Ran was walking steadily did he follow.

Pei's father sat in the living room with a cup of coffee beside him. Seeing Xu Ran's injuries, he frowned and asked, "What happened?"

Xu Ran glanced at him nonchalantly: "Nothing's wrong."

As an employee of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, even though he's currently just an intern, he's proficient in both literature and martial arts. But when he entered the small world, he received a body that had been beaten to a pulp...

Don't even think about letting him say something so shameful.

Seeing his refusal to cooperate, Pei's father's face darkened: "You're not a child anymore. You can't act recklessly. The Pei family won't be your safe haven forever!"

This matter has been made very clear long ago: the Pei family will take care of him until he turns eighteen, then give him a sum of money, and then leave him alone.

Xu Ran felt that this arrangement was more than enough, but since she knew that the original owner was not a member of the Pei family, she should hurry up and resolve the misunderstanding between Pei's father and mother. After all, their whole family had suffered because of this incident, and their once happy family had fallen apart.

This is his first task with the system, so he should finish it quickly to avoid any mishaps.

"We might need to do a paternity test," Xu Ran said after considering her words.
