Transmigrated into a Book, Bo Qing's Background

In another world, a man also named Fu Yanzhi was nearing the end of his life. He was covered in blood, and several wolf carcasses lay beside him.

Fu Yanzhi said, "Fuck, it hurts like hell. I'm the black web's number one assassin, yet I got taken down by a few beasts. It's all because those ungrateful wolves set me up. It hurts so bad."

Beep, beep. [Binding System 127... Ding! System successfully bound.]

At that moment, Fu Yanzhi heard the sound of the system binding in his mind. "Hey, who are you? You just decided to bind me? Did I agree to that?"

[Congratulations, host, you have bound System 127. This system chose you as my host from among countless worlds. You should consider yourself lucky.]

In his consciousness, Fu Yanzhi said, "I don't feel lucky. I still have to go back and kill those ungrateful wolves. Let me go back, now."

[Sorry, host, you're already dead. It won't be long before those wolves finish eating your body.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Fuck, don't eat my handsome face! I make my living with this face. How am I supposed to get girls to hang out with me now? My Little Red, my Little Green—oh no, they're all gone."

[It's all right, host. You still have me, System 127. I'll always be with you.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Sorry, I don't need you. Why haven't you left yet? Stop bothering me. I'm going to reincarnate, and I'll kill those ungrateful wolves in my next life."

[Sorry, host, you can't reincarnate.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Why? You're even going to meddle in my reincarnation? Do you live by the sea or something, sticking your nose in everything?"

[System... I'm speechless. Can I change hosts now?]

[Because you're already bound to me, host, you can't reincarnate until you've completed your mission. Besides, you don't need to reincarnate. As long as you complete the mission, this system will bring you back to life and reward you with 500 million yuan. Well? Tempted?]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Not really. Bring me back to life now, and I'll go back and give you 500 million. How about it?"

[System... No, host. I can't bring you back to life before you complete the mission.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "All right, what a hassle. Tell me what the mission is. I'll finish it quickly."

[That's great, host! You've finally come around. Your mission is to help the villains in a book grow up healthy and happy.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Raising kids again? Sorry, I can't take this mission. I died because of a few kids in my last life. I gave them my whole heart, but they actually sold my information to my rivals. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have died."

[Don't worry, host. These children definitely won't betray you. The reason they became villains was that the big brother who protected them died. A man with the same name as you was killed by human traffickers, and for various reasons, they eventually became villains.]

After thinking for a while, Fu Yanzhi decided to trust System 127. "All right, I believe you. I'll take the mission."

[That's great, host! I'll send you to the target world now.]

As soon as it finished speaking, Fu Yanzhi felt the world spin around him. When he came to his senses, he was in a hospital. He opened his eyes and saw a child asleep with his head resting against the side of his bed.

He slowly lifted a corner of the blanket and carefully extended his feet over the edge of the bed. Bracing his fingertips against the mattress, he inched his way out of bed. His soles touched the floor lightly, and only after making sure he hadn't made a sound did he slowly straighten up. He carried the child onto the bed, tucked him in, and left the room.

Fu Yanzhi went into the restroom and washed his face. Looking at himself in the mirror, he saw that he was about fourteen or fifteen and looked just as he had as a child in his last life.

He moved his body and found that, apart from the wounds on his back and over his heart, there were no other wounds on it.

Fu Yanzhi said, "127, 127, are you there?"

Fu Yanzhi called for 127 in the restroom. Passersby took him for a lunatic and hurried away. Fu Yanzhi watched them flee. How rude. Why were they running in a hospital?

[System... Host, is it possible that people took you for a lunatic because you were shouting for me in the restroom?]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Uh... surely not. Oh, right, where the hell did you go? I've been calling you forever. Were you planning to run off after tricking me into coming here?"

[Host, you've really wronged me! How could I run off and leave you? I went to download information about this world.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Oh, now that you've downloaded it, tell me about it. I want to get a better understanding."

[Host, Fu Yanzhi in this world originally had a happy family too. But in the summer when he was twelve, after his younger brother drowned, he learned that he wasn't his parents' biological child. His parents called him a jinx, and he blamed himself for his brother's death. His mother went mad because she couldn't accept her younger son's death, while his father drank heavily every day and beat him whenever he got drunk. He endured that life for a year, until he was caught by human traffickers while out buying alcohol for his father. He met his current younger brothers while he was with the traffickers and came to regard them as his own family. Whenever they were beaten, he suffered the worst injuries. Later, he was stabbed to death by the traffickers while protecting his brothers as they escaped. That's the information on your current body, host.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Another poor soul. What about the information on his younger brothers?"

[Host, I can only tell you their names right now. I can't reveal their identities. You'll have to uncover those yourself in the future.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "All right, all right. Tell me now."

[Okay, host. I'll send their pictures and names into your mind now. Please receive them.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Okay."

Five pictures appeared before Fu Yanzhi's eyes. That's pretty advanced. Not bad, 127, you're actually a little useful.

[Of course, host. This system is the most advanced there is.]

Fu Yanzhi ignored the system and focused on the pictures.

The first was Bo Qing. In the photo, his skin was fair with a cool undertone, and his long, thick eyelashes cast a small, gentle shadow beneath his eyes. His nose was straight, and his lips were a natural pale pink. He had a quiet, refined air about him.

The second was Wen Shiming. In the photo, he had a well-defined brow bone and thick, dark sword-shaped eyebrows that made his eyes look especially bright. His nose was high and straight, and his lips were thin. When he smiled, a pair of small dimples appeared. His every movement had a youthful freshness and briskness, clean as the morning sun.

The third was Feng Yunxiao. In the photo, his skin was a translucent porcelain white, and his short hair was black and soft. He had a full forehead, a delicate, high-bridged nose, and eyes that seemed to hold sunlight, dazzlingly bright. His cheeks still had a little baby fat, making him look endearing.

The fourth was Kong Fanyue and Kong Fanxing. The photo showed two little boys who looked almost identical, both with soft, short hair and fair skin. Their round eyes were like black grapes, and their eyelashes were long and thick. But the older brother's gaze was a little more composed, while the younger one looked more quick-witted and was always tilting his head to look at people. Though they looked alike, the subtle differences in their expressions made each adorable in his own way. Standing together, they were like a pair of lively young boys one couldn't take one's eyes off.

The fifth was Li Huanhuan. In the photo, his hair was soft and slightly wavy, with wisps falling over his forehead and setting off his round face. His skin was fair with a rosy tint, like a freshly peeled egg. His almond-shaped eyes were round, with slightly downturned outer corners that gave him an innocent look. When he smiled, his eyes curved into little crescent moons, and his cheeks still had a touch of baby fat.

Fu Yanzhi said, "System, did these photos have a beauty filter on? How did they turn out so good-looking? I love them. I really want to go touch their faces right now."

[System: I'm speechless... I even ended up recruiting a face-con. These photos are all real. There's no beauty filter.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "Wow, that's great! I thought this mission would be boring, but I didn't expect to get to raise such good-looking kids. Hehehe, I can't wait."

[Host, please stay in character. Weren't you an assassin in your last life? Aren't assassins supposed to be aloof and icy? How are you such a goofball and a face-con too? This system has reasonable grounds to suspect I picked the wrong person.]

Fu Yanzhi said, "What the hell does a system know? Do you have emotions? Everyone has an appreciation for beauty. What's wrong with me admiring it? All right, I'm done talking to an emotionless system like you. I'm going to find my younger brothers."

Little brothers, your wonderful big brother is coming!

[System: ...How did I end up bringing an idiot here? Can this mission even be completed?]

Fu Yanzhi returned to the hospital room. Seeing that the child was still asleep on the bed, he walked in quietly and sat down beside it, looking at him. "This should be my third brother, right? The bruises on his face from being beaten still haven't faded, and there's hardly any flesh on his face. It's all right. Big brother will earn money and raise you all until you're fair and plump."

Fu Yanzhi was still thinking when the door opened. He instinctively moved to attack, but when he saw who it was, he hurriedly held back. It was Bo Qing, carrying some steaming buns.

When Bo Qing saw Fu Yanzhi, he threw his arms around him. "Big brother, you're finally awake! I missed you so much. You don't know how scared we were when we saw the police bring you out."

The sudden hug caught Fu Yanzhi a little off guard, but he quickly recovered and gently patted Bo Qing's back. "There, there, isn't big brother all right?"

Bo Qing let go, his eyes red. "Big brother, you've been unconscious for days. We were worried sick."

As he spoke, he held out the buns to Fu Yanzhi. "Big brother, are you hungry? Have a bun."

Fu Yanzhi took the buns, warmth spreading through his heart. Was this what it felt like to have a younger brother care about him? It was wonderful.

Just then, Wen Shiming was woken by the noise. When he saw Fu Yanzhi standing on the floor, he sprang up from the bed. "Big brother!"

Wen Shiming flung himself into Fu Yanzhi's arms. Fu Yanzhi stroked his head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, either of you. Isn't big brother perfectly fine?"

After comforting his second and third brothers, Fu Yanzhi asked, "Where are the others? Are they all right?"

Bo Qing wiped away his tears and said, "Xiaoxiao's dad came to take him home. Yueyue, Xingxing, and Huanhuan haven't woken up yet."

After thinking for a while, Fu Yanzhi asked, "When we were with the traffickers, I never asked about your backgrounds, because the first thing we had to do there was escape. I also promised I'd get you all out. Now that we've escaped, you can go home too. I think we'll be parting ways soon."

[Host, where are you sending them? Isn't your mission to raise them? Why are you driving them away?]

Fu Yanzhi shot back in his mind, What the hell do you know? If I don't get them to tell me about their backgrounds, what am I supposed to do? If you don't understand, shut the fuck up.

[After being snapped at, the system shouted frantically, "You actually said I don't understand! How could I not understand? I'm the smartest system, System 127!"]

Annoyed by the system's noise, Fu Yanzhi shut off their conversation.

After hearing Fu Yanzhi's words, Bo Qing and Wen Shiming thought for a while. Bo Qing was the first to speak. "Big brother, do you still have any family?"

Fu Yanzhi thought for a moment, then shook his head. After all, the original owner's parents hadn't treated him well. He was better off without them.

When Bo Qing saw his big brother shake his head, he didn't know why, but he felt very happy. "Big brother, I don't have any family either. Can I stay with you?"

Fu Yanzhi looked at Bo Qing. "You can, but you have to tell me who you are and why you were kidnapped. I need to know the details. I don't want you to lie to me."

When Bo Qing heard Fu Yanzhi's words, he lowered his head and said nothing. He was afraid that if his big brother found out, he wouldn't want him anymore.

Fu Yanzhi could see that Bo Qing was hesitating. He didn't interrupt, only waited beside him. Wen Shiming, who was nearby, was thinking too.

After a while, Bo Qing decided to tell his big brother the truth. He trusted him.

Bo Qing said, "Big brother, have you heard of Boyou Pharmaceuticals? My parents founded it. When they were still alive, I thought I was the happiest child in the world, but that happiness shattered after the car accident."

Bo Qing said, "My parents both died in that car accident. Afterward, my uncle and aunt seized their company, and I was placed in their care. They coveted my shares, so they locked me in a dog cage in the basement and beat me every day, all because they wanted the shares I held. In the end, I couldn't hold out anymore and was forced to sign them over."

Bo Qing said, "After I signed, they were afraid someone would find out what had happened to me, so they gave me to human traffickers. They think I'm dead, but they didn't expect me to still be alive."

After hearing him out, Fu Yanzhi stroked Bo Qing's hair. "It's all right. You still have big brother. I'll keep protecting you, and I'll help you get revenge too."

Bo Qing buried his face in Fu Yanzhi's chest. "Big brother, aren't you afraid? If you stay with me, you'll get into trouble."

Fu Yanzhi said, "What's there to be afraid of? Don't worry, second brother. Even if we run into danger, I'll die before you do. I'll keep you safe."

Wen Shiming, who had been silent all this time, spoke up. "Big brother, I want to stay with you too."

Fu Yanzhi said, "Don't you have any family either, third brother?"

Wen Shiming said, "I don't remember. I can't remember anything. Whenever I try, my head hurts. All I remember is a house on fire and a woman's voice telling me to run. After that, I don't remember anything."

Wen Shiming said, "After I left the house, I kept looking for food on the streets. Later, Skinny caught me on the street and dragged me into a car, and that's when I met you, big brother, and the others. I want to stay with all of you."

Fu Yanzhi looked at Wen Shiming. "If you can't remember, then don't think about it. We won't separate. We'll stay together forever. Big brother will protect you."
