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

Xu Ran opened his computer to browse the stock market. Investing was a required course for employees of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, and Xu Ran was one of the best among them. The Pei family was very generous to the original owner of this body, so the amount of money they owed was naturally a lot, and conventional ways of making money were no longer enough.

When the system returned victorious, it was already late at night. The system's algorithm was like cheating in this small world, helping Xu Ran conduct an investment simulation and calculate the optimal choice. Xu Ran invested all the balance on his original card.

I woke up at 11 a.m. the next day.

Pei's father hadn't even woken him up early to do a paternity test; this family was far too lenient. Xu Ran thought that the tragedy of a broken family should never have befallen them.

When Xu Ran went downstairs, she saw the three people sitting quietly on the sofa. The atmosphere was really strange, and she paused.

Judging from their complexions, they probably hadn't slept well all night.

Xu Ran, who slept soundly until dawn, and the system: ...

Well, I'm quite embarrassed.

Xu's mother thoughtfully left breakfast for Xu Ran, who ate toast and drank milk with mixed feelings.

In fact, only Xu Ran and Pei's father needed to go for the paternity test, but Pei's mother insisted on coming along. In the end, Pei's father drove, Xu Ran sat in the passenger seat, and Pei's mother and Pei Xudong sat in the back seat.

Xu Ran pretended to close his eyes and rest, communicating with the system in his mind.

"Exchange for a detector to install in the car."

Pei's father is a very good driver, so the horrific car accident in the original story was probably not just due to the dispute between the two.

He didn't open his eyes the whole way, so he didn't notice Pei Xudong's probing gaze from the back seat.

The test results would normally take three to five days to arrive, but Pei's father paid for expedited processing, and the results were available on the same day. There was no need to wait; the results would be sent to Pei's father and Xu Ran's phones as soon as they were available.

Pei's father, who has never been addicted to his phone, checked it almost every minute today, afraid of missing any messages.

Xu Ran seemed completely unconcerned, and upon returning to the Pei family home, she began packing her luggage in her room.

In the evening, Xu Ran finally received a text message from the appraisal agency, and he carried his suitcase downstairs.

Madam Pei's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

The three members of the Pei family waited downstairs for a long time. Although they remained silent, their attention was focused on Pei's father's phone. They had only received the text message a few minutes ago and had not yet sorted out their complicated feelings.

They hadn't figured out how to treat Xu Ran yet, but Xu Ran had already packed her luggage neatly and efficiently.

Starting yesterday, he suddenly became prepared to leave this home.

The system had even booked a hotel for Xu Ran in advance, but Xu's mother had already prepared the meal, ensuring that Xu Ran received her share.

Xu Ran hadn't expected Pei Xudong to try to keep him, nor had he expected that Pei's father and wife would almost tacitly agree to this request.

"You're still young, and you're injured. Don't act impulsively..." Pei Xudong looked at Xu Ran's calm expression and swallowed the word "sulking," instead saying it another way.

"No rush. You haven't thought anything through. The issues of schooling and accommodation need to be discussed first. You're a minor..."

If you ignore Pei Xudong's tightly clenched, white fingers, his tone is cold and completely businesslike.

Xu Ran sighed, turned on his phone. He had booked a hotel and had a considerable amount of money in his phone, enough to cover accommodation while he was in school.

I've really thought everything through.

Madam Pei looked at his shoulder: "Let him recover from his injury first."

Xu Ran shook her head: "It's not serious, and it doesn't hurt."

It really doesn't hurt; the severity is nowhere near as bad as the injuries he sustained during training in the main world.

Pei's father did not express his opinion, but silently handed Xu Ran a bank card.

"There's no need, Mr. Pei." Xu Ran pushed away the card that Pei's father offered.

"It's my mother and I who have wronged you," Xu Ran said without a hint of resentment. "The money the Pei family gave me in the past was more than enough for me to live comfortably."

Xu Ran received a transfer when she arrived at the hotel.

The system said gratefully, "Host, it was forwarded to you by Pei's father!"

I received the second transfer while I was taking a shower.

The system exclaimed in surprise, "Even Madam Pei has turned around!"

I received the third transfer just as I was getting ready for bed.

The system remained indifferent: "The protagonist has also switched roles."

Looking at her skyrocketing bank balance, Xu Ran wondered, "Are the Pei family really that enthusiastic about charity?"

System: "While the Pei family did do a lot of charity work in the original story, the reason they're transferring money to you this time is definitely because you're so likable!"

Xu Ran was taken aback; so endearing…

He also recorded these three transfers in his ledger, and said with a laugh, "I'm not exactly a likable person."

The system internally protested, "The algorithm certainly can't be wrong!"

*

The injury on his shoulder was nothing to Xu Ran, and he refused the system's suggestion that he take a few days off.

The original owner was a student who didn't know the criteria for judging the success of a mission, nor did he know how many years he would have to stay in this world, so naturally he had to go to school.

Going early would allow her to get familiar with things sooner, and even if she didn't like it, Xu Ran didn't have the habit of taking leave.

With the semester nearing its end, it wasn't a good time to apply for on-campus accommodation, especially since Xu Ran didn't really want to live on campus anyway. Even if he didn't live with the Pei family, he could still earn money; the system was already helping him find apartments for rent near the school.

High school students' schedules are really inhuman. Most students are in a daze during morning reading time. Xu Ran's seat is in the last row by the window. He leans against the wall and looks out. It is still dark, and there are even one or two stars hanging in the sky.

To combat drowsiness, most students used the excuse of reciting their lessons to chat or sing. Xu Ran was lost in thought when the noisy classroom suddenly fell silent.

The homeroom teacher was a highly experienced female teacher. She stood on the podium with a cold face, and the students below wished they could bury their heads in their books, not daring to look at her for even a second.

"The school is holding a sports meet next week."

The moment this news broke, the atmosphere almost ignited again, but it was averted when the homeroom teacher's "murderous" gaze met it.

"You're about to have your summer break. The next time you come, you'll be seniors. This is your last sports meet in high school, so I hope you'll take it seriously."

After the morning reading session, the sports committee member began counting the number of participants. Xu Ran was also a little sleepy, so he covered his head and slumped onto the table. But then, a series of chaotic footsteps stopped in front of him.

"Relay race...we're one person short..."

He overheard his deskmate and the sports representative whispering, "...He's injured, is there no one else...?"

Xu Ran ripped the school uniform jacket off her head: "What?"

The sports committee member looked distressed. "In the 400-meter relay, our class is short one person, and we're still one boy short."

Xu Ran nodded: "Then add me."

The sports committee member quickly waved his hand: "Aren't you injured? Don't push yourself. Let me think of something else."

Xu Ran had forgotten that he was still injured. What could possibly happen in 400 meters? He chuckled and said, "It's nothing, you can add it."

The sports committee member is sincere and kind-hearted. Xu Ran's timely help warmed his heart, and he kept calling him his "savior".

Xu Ran wasn't very familiar with her classmates, but she was greeted by the popular sports committee member and ended up talking more in one day than the original owner of this body had in a whole year.

When Xu Ran returned to the hotel with her schoolbag after school that evening, she saw a car that looked somewhat familiar at the school gate.

Xu Ran tapped the system: "Is this Pei Xudong?"

The system closed the movie and went to check the records. "Waaah, the protagonist went to the hotel to see the host today. Knowing the host was coming to school, he drove here to wait for her. The protagonist is such a good person!"

Xu Ran smiled slightly, feeling a strange warmth in her heart, but then turned and walked in another direction.

The system floated out of the space, tangled up like a pretzel. "Host, shouldn't we ask the protagonist why he came here?"

Xu Ran continued walking: "Pei Xudong doesn't seem to be following either."

The system didn't understand, and secretly glanced at Pei Xudong in the car through the space. In the vast sea of ​​people, Pei Xudong spotted Xu Ran at a glance, and then his gaze never left her.

"But host, he's been watching you the whole time..."

Only after Xu Ran's figure completely disappeared did the car that had been parked outside the school gate for half a day start up again and drive into the night.

When Pei Xudong returned home, the living room was already dark, but the kitchen was surprisingly bright.

Madam Pei, who hadn't been to the kitchen in a long time, didn't ask anything when she saw him return so late: "Xu Dong's back? Would you like some porridge?"

"No need," Pei Xudong smiled. "Are you hungry?"

Madam Pei's eyes seemed to light up a little: "Your father drank alcohol; I'm afraid he'll have a stomachache."

Pei Xudong's heart stirred, and a few stars flashed in his eyes. He wanted to say something, but his words caught in his throat, revealing a hint of helplessness.

Madam Pei understood his thoughts and gently patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, are you tired? Go and rest."

Pei Xudong nodded solemnly, blinked hard to keep the moisture in his eyes, but his vision was blurry, as if he could see that handsome and tall figure again.

Some things begin to change when no one knows, slowly fermenting in the dead of night.

---

Over the past few days, the relationship between the parents has gradually thawed, and Pei Xudong, as if possessed, drove to the gate of Xu Ran's school.

It was during class time, but the campus was no longer as quiet as usual, and bursts of noise could be heard.

The sports meet is a rare opportunity for energetic boys and girls who are confined to the classroom.

Xu Ran was assigned to run the last leg of the relay. He was still recovering from an injury, and the sports committee member was extremely anxious. Their class's athletic ability was not outstanding to begin with, and by the third leg, they were already showing signs of decline.

"Xu Ran, just run around casually. The important thing is to participate."

Xu Ran agreed outwardly, but the moment she received the baton, only one thought occupied her mind.

"It's all about participation... my foot! Run!"

He wants to win.

As Xu Ran overtook one person after another, the cheers in the stadium suddenly became more enthusiastic.

Meanwhile, the old man who was dozing in the security booth finally noticed the young man lingering outside the school gate.

The old man, holding a thermos, smiled and said to him, "Isn't it lively? The children are having their sports meet today."

Pei Xudong: "Sir, my...my younger brother studies here, may I go in and take a look?"
