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

When Pei Xudong came in, he happened to see Xu Ran sprinting forward, full of vigor and high spirits.

The moment he crossed the finish line, his classmates immediately surrounded him, their youthful energy almost overwhelming Pei Xudong.

With Xu Ran's injuries on his mind, Pei Xudong carefully examined her from head to toe. Xu Ran's bangs were slightly damp with sweat and were casually tossed aside. Underneath her school uniform short sleeves, there was a small patch of white gauze, but thankfully, the color in her face had returned, which put Pei Xudong at ease.

Xu Ran was surrounded by classmates holding chocolates, mineral water, and towels. Xu Ran would occasionally chime in with a word, his face all smiles, but his eyes flashed with a determined light. Pei Xudong seemed to have glimpsed a sharp edge beneath his outward appearance.

Pei Xudong did not step forward, but just watched quietly. Xu Ran had a faint smile on his lips, his figure was handsome and upright, and he had a youthful vibe.

Before he could figure out why he felt this way, Xu Ran had already seen him and was walking towards him. Pei Xudong was slightly stunned; things had jumped too fast…

His heart.

Xu Ran hadn't actually noticed this side, but on the green grass, Pei Xudong's shirt and black pants were really too eye-catching.

Xu Ran glanced at Pei Xudong without making a sound. His white long-sleeved shirt was buttoned up to the top, revealing only his fair neck.

In this sweltering heat, why are you still wearing it so tightly...?

Cold and aloof? He felt that "abstinence" better suited the impression Pei Xudong gave off.

The feeling was so intense that Xu Ran often had the illusion that she wanted to... tear it apart and peek at it, just once.

  

After you've finished reading, wrap it up carefully and only peek at it yourself.

Xu Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, a smile in her eyes: "What are you doing here?"

Pei Xudong's mind went blank, and his speech was incoherent. "What a coincidence."

Pei Xudong realized how stupid his words were as soon as he finished speaking, thinking, "How can I possibly swallow those two words? What a coincidence! This is someone else's school!"

Xu Ran rarely saw this person looking embarrassed, so she didn't expose him: "Aren't you hot? Why don't we go to the classroom? There's air conditioning there."

Pei Xudong shook his head: "Are you done?"

Before Xu Ran could reply, the homeroom teacher's voice came from behind.

A rare hint of joy appeared on her face: "Xu Ran, our class won, thanks to you this time."

"Who is this?"

Xu Ran casually draped her hand over Pei Xudong's shoulder. "My brother."

Xu Ran had just taken some ice water, and her palms were also icy cold; the temperature seeped through her shirt and onto her skin.

I've never heard this person call him "brother" before.

Pei Xudong pursed his lips: "Hello, teacher. We are so grateful for your care of our Xiaoran."

Xu Ran didn't hear what the teacher said next because the system was playing "Our~Little~Ran~" on a loop in his mind.

"Host, the protagonist is treating you like a child."

Xu Ran didn't argue with it, but the hand on Pei Xudong pressed down hard without making a sound.

They're taking advantage of him.

Pei Xudong was the quintessential model student; his attentive listening to the teacher was endearing, and even the usually strict homeroom teacher treated him with kindness. Somehow, the two ended up chatting in the office.

"Host, is the protagonist considered your parent?"

Xu Ran corrected it: "Family members."

Pei Xudong is only nineteen years old; what kind of parent is he?

System: "Huh?"

Xu Ran changed the subject, looking at the person inside: "Your protagonist... is quite good-looking."

"Of course!" The system beamed when talking about its area of ​​expertise, "The protagonist's data all comes from our department..."

The school leaders knew that the students would be too preoccupied with their studies after the sports meet, so they decided to give them an early holiday today so they could go home and rest.

Remembering Xu Ran's injury, Pei Xudong took his schoolbag without hesitation.

"I can carry it myself." Xu Ran snatched her backpack back from him. It only contained two books and was very light. Why should she help him carry it?

Pei Xudong was startled by the force of the pull and realized that Xu Ran was already taller than him.

So he had that much to offer?

Pei Xudong looked at the person beside him and carefully asked, "Would you like to go home for dinner?"

Xu Ran looked at him in astonishment.

No way, he remembered that the original owner of this body had no feelings for the Pei family. It was originally just a matter of responsibility based on blood ties, but now that blood ties are gone, what need is there for any contact?

Pei Xudong was thinking about what his homeroom teacher had just said: "At home, someone will take care of you. You're still young and don't understand the importance of studying..."

Xu Ran – a high-level talent, specially recruited by the Quick Transmigration Bureau, and ranked first among the interns in the special training camp.

Thank you. He knows very well the importance of studying. Could you please not use the tone of someone lecturing a rebellious teenager?

Pei Xudong, however, became increasingly convinced of its validity as he spoke. "How about I tutor you when you get home?"

Xu Ran: ...

Are you serious?

Pei Xudong attributed his concern for Xu Ran to a sense of responsibility; he felt that helping Xu Ran get into a good university would restore normalcy.

"Pei Xudong, I am very grateful to you. I will be an adult soon, not a child anymore. I can take responsibility for my actions."

Xu Ran felt a pang of sympathy seeing Pei Xudong's helpless expression. He sighed, "I'm not a member of the Pei family. You don't need to take responsibility for me, understand?"

Pei Xudong wanted to say, "After all, you've lived in our family for so many years."

He also wanted to say, "You just admitted to the teacher that I'm your brother."

He also wanted to say that your life is very important.

But he had to admit that over the years, he had never treated Xu Ran as a younger brother.

Who would like someone who broke up their family?

It's just that I'm used to keeping my emotions deep inside and avoiding the other person when I see them.

With Xu Ran's departure, the unspoken resentment and the easing of the parents' relationship gradually dissipated, replaced by complex emotions that even she herself did not understand.

So... are we destined to be strangers?

Why would I care?

---

The apartment has already been found. Xu Ran only brought one suitcase when she left the Pei family home, so the move was very easy.

The system huffed and puffed as it finished its chores and floated in front of Xu Ran.

Xu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you. Go buy some snacks, I'll reimburse you."

The system's snacks are actually data bars for various flavors, and they need to be purchased with points.

The system circled his head once: "Host, are you unhappy?"

Xu Ran asked, "Are all your main characters this good-looking?"

The system hesitated, then asked, "Host, have you fallen for the protagonist?"

Xu Ran shook her head: "I wouldn't say that, it's just that he's definitely my type, and even his serious looks are very attractive."

Xu Ran wasn't a coy person; if he met someone so compatible in the main world, he would definitely pursue her.

But this is a small world, and Pei Xudong is the target of the mission, someone destined to disappear.

"Xiao Pei's heart was racing when she first met you."

"Little Pei?" Xu Ran raised an eyebrow. "What kind of address is that?"

The system "whooshed" into the space: "Hehe, host, the Quick Transmigration Bureau won't interfere with the employees' love lives."

Xu Ran didn't hear the last sentence. The quick transmigration system has the function of erasing memories and emotions. It's not a big deal to fall in love in a small world, but Xu Ran always felt that it was a little strange to separate her memories and emotions.

But Xiao Pei...

The name lingered in his mind, stirring up a ripple.

Consider this a response to Pei Xudong's comment, "Our Xiaoran."

The education system in the main world is different from that in the small world, so Xu Ran felt a little curious on her first day of school.

He went to school as usual until summer vacation started.

The system diligently monitored the Pei family's situation, and since there were no problems so far, Xu Ran was relieved. As for the fact that Pei's father had been keeping an eye on Xu Ran, he pretended not to know.

Xu Ran only had twenty days of vacation. Xu Ran knew that Pei Xudong had traveled to almost every corner of the city, but she gave up her original travel plans and started to take care of the company's affairs, wanting to let Pei's father and wife enjoy more time alone together.

Xu Ran had never met Pei Xudong because he had never left the house.

He was busy... making money. In the original story, Pei's family was almost on the verge of collapse, which nearly killed Pei Xudong. However, Pei's family had always been thriving. Even if Pei's father had an accident, the company would suffer some setbacks, but it wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation.

It seems someone is targeting them.
