Transmigrated into the body of a prematurely deceased beloved child

Chapter 484 My Brother is a Cannon Fodder Subordinate 2

The largest internet cafe outside Koshai High School was dimly lit and filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol.

Behind rows of neatly arranged high-spec computers were students in school uniforms with youthful faces.

"Damn, what a bunch of idiots! If you're going to lose, hurry up and fight!"

"Okay, okay, I know, you're so noisy!"

"Hey, have you managed to win over your crush yet...?"

Some of them were playing games with their fingers flying across the keyboard; some were drinking in small groups, chatting loudly about gossip; and some, tired from playing games, were lazily leaning back in their chairs, blowing smoke rings.

The internet cafe was filled with various noises, and the air was thick with the smell of smoke and alcohol, which further highlighted the chaos and disorder of the place.

"Ring ring ring..."

The faint ringing of the phone was drowned out by a burst of noise. Xie Zian stared at the screen with slightly tired eyes. His long, slender fingers gripped the mouse, trying his best to coordinate with his teammates while hurriedly reaching into his pocket for his phone.

Glancing at the contact name on the phone, he quickly answered, his voice several octaves lower: "Brother Lan, what's up?"

"It's not me, it's your brother." On the other side, Ye Lan, dressed in a school uniform, looked at the boy who had fallen asleep against the corner of the wall, her handsome brows furrowing slightly.

"My brother?!?" The exhausted boy was instantly jolted awake, jumping to his feet. His hasty movements even knocked over the chair behind him, making a loud thud.

In an instant, everyone in the internet cafe turned to look at him.

"Xie Zian, are you sick in the head?!" Receiving Ji Yunqi's impatient look, Xie Zian didn't care anymore and ran out of the internet cafe without saying a word.

"What the hell is Xie Zi'an doing now?" Ji Yunqi took off his headphones and slammed them heavily on the table. "I even lost the game!"

Xia Siyuan, standing nearby, soothed him gently, "Brother Yun, calm down. There's no point in arguing with someone like him."

"Yeah, Brother Yun, don't get angry."

Ji Yunqi had a fiery temper, but he was also easily swayed. After being surrounded and coaxed by several teenagers, his anger gradually subsided.

His dark eyes stared at the messy table and chairs beside him. Recalling Xie Zian's expression, Ji Yunqi asked in confusion, "Xie Zian has a younger brother? I've never heard him mention him?"

After scanning the bewildered faces around him, he casually kicked Xia Siyuan's chair and said, "Don't you and Xie Zi'an live quite close to each other? You tell us."

It only just occurred to me that even though I've known Xie Zi'an for three years, I still don't know anything else about him.

Xia Siyuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, I don't know him very well. I only know that his family is not well-off and he has a sick younger brother."

"younger brother?"

“Yes, his younger brother is only in his first year of high school and also studies in Koshai. He’s quite good-looking,” Xia Siyuan said, recalling the boy’s appearance. “He’s just too thin.”

Ji Yunqi nodded casually, glanced at the computer again, and said irritably, "I'm not playing anymore. That kid has ruined my mood."

Afterwards, a group of people, led by Ji Yunqi, swaggered out of the internet cafe, climbed over the wall, and returned to school.

......

The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant. In this life, Zhao Zhao was extremely sensitive to this smell and couldn't sleep well at all. In her drowsy state, the plot of this world flashed through her mind again.

This time, he is just Xie Huaizhao, a fifteen-year-old boy who has just entered the first year of high school. His parents died early, and he and his only brother Xie Zian depend on each other for survival.

Their family was poor. In order to support his younger brother, who was weak and sickly and had even broken his leg in a car accident, Xie Zi'an endured a lot of hardship while studying and working part-time.

It wasn't until later, when he became a lackey of several wealthy and powerful young masters, that he was able to earn some tips and slightly improve his family's standard of living.

However, as Xie Zi'an became a sycophantic lackey of the wealthy, he offended more and more people, and his reputation deteriorated. Gradually, more and more people looked down on him and bullied him openly and secretly. His younger brother, who was in poor health, was also affected.

In the end, Xie Huaizhao died of illness, and Xie Zian committed suicide due to depression. These two innocent teenagers, who were living positive lives, ended their short lives in this way.

Therefore, Zhao Zhao's main mission this time is to give Xie Zi'an a good ending; the side mission is to keep him away from people who affect his life and let him gain freedom.

Zhao Zhao closed his eyes, and Xie Zian's tragic end played out in his mind again and again. He was really uneasy in his dream, so he slowly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found Xie Zian, whose uniform was in disarray, guarding him by his bedside.

Seeing that he was awake, she quickly forced a smile and asked, "Zhaozhao, is anything bothering you?"
