Chapter 136: The Sunshine Beta and the Obsessive Alpha 02

Xu Jiayan absentmindedly pinched his fingers as he gazed out the window at the towering buildings.

“System, where is Xu Jianan?”

System 729 checked the location of the protagonist and reported it to its host.

[Anjue Bar, he’s working part-time there.]

Xu Jiayan grabbed his coat, intending to head out and bring Xu Jianan back home from the bar to avoid the plot where the protagonist gets noticed, taken in, and imprisoned by the main lead.

But before he could step out of the room, the door suddenly swung open from the outside.

The person who entered stared at him with panic, tears welling up in their eyes.

“Xiao Yan, you’re still here…”

Thank goodness, nothing had happened yet.

Before Xu Jiayan could react, the Omega who had burst into the room hugged him tightly, their scalding tears dripping onto his hand.

“Xiao Yan, your brother will protect you this time.”

This time, he absolutely wouldn’t let his younger brother be driven to jump off a building by that bastard, Leng Yi.

No one could harm his brother.

Xu Jiayan confirmed the identity of the person and also noticed something unusual about them.

‘Protect you this time’ sounded ambiguous.

This time? Could it be that there was a previous time? Had the original host’s brother been reborn?

System 729: [Host, the protagonist has been reborn after death, returning to a time before everything happened.]

It hadn’t expected the protagonist to be reborn—this was a complete surprise.

Xu Jiayan thought to himself, “I see. This actually makes it easier for me to complete my tasks.”

Since the protagonist had already experienced everything, he should know to avoid Leng Yi or strike first to keep the culprit far away—or dead.

Xu Jianan held his younger brother, who had been lost and found again, and cried for a while before finally calming down. With a hoarse voice, he said, “Xiao Yan, let’s move.”

“I’m in my senior year and about to start my internship. You should come with me and leave this place.”

He didn’t want to stay in District C anymore.

He was afraid Leng Yi might appear at any moment and take his brother away again.

If it were just him, he wouldn’t hesitate to fight Leng Yi to the death, but he had his brother—a living, breathing brother who wasn’t yet a mangled corpse.

He couldn’t risk his brother’s safety!

So, it was better for them to leave and never return to District C.

Xu Jiayan hugged his brother. “Alright.”

He didn’t ask why his brother wanted to do this. Whatever his brother said, he would follow.

Xu Jianan wiped his face. “Xiao Yan, tomorrow I’ll handle your transfer to a new school. We’ll move to District A and never come back here.”

Xu Jiayan asked gently, “Brother, aren’t you graduating soon? Don’t you have your thesis defense next year?”

Xu Jianan composed himself. “I can apply to do the defense online. Don’t worry about me, Xiao Yan. I won’t fail to graduate.”

He urged, “Go pack your things. We’ll move tomorrow afternoon.”

“I’ll go look for a rental this afternoon. We’ll stay there temporarily, and once I start working and earning money, we’ll buy a house in District A.”

Xu Jiayan nodded obediently and went to pack his belongings.

Xu Jianan stood by and watched for a while, making sure his brother wasn’t a figment of his imagination before stepping out.

Xiao Yan, your brother won’t let you die again!

Absolutely not!!!

Xu Jianan quickly contacted a rental agency in District A to find a suitable place.

He needed to hurry and prepare for the move, as well as his brother’s school transfer.

In the future, his brother would continue his education in District A. He couldn’t stay in District C where it was dangerous.

Now, every time he saw a tall building, his heart would race, fearing he might hear the news of his brother’s suicide or see his lifeless body again.

His brother had just turned eighteen. He absolutely couldn’t let him die because of him.

Xiao Yan was his only family left.

After their parents passed away, relatives and friends had cut ties with them. No one wanted to take care of them or have anything to do with them.

Only Xiao Yan had stayed by his side, obedient and supportive. Even before he was an adult, he started working part-time just to make things easier for his brother, never causing trouble in his studies.

His brother was a good person. He didn’t deserve to die young.

He and his brother would live happily in the future. They could never repeat the past.

Seeing his brother alive again, Xu Jianan finally found a direction to move forward.

The air of freedom, the feeling of being alive—it was truly wonderful!
