Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

The world faded, and only the two of them could see each other. The woman\'s face faltered as she saw the familiar face yet older, but she could trace the hint of that man\'s face, and her sister\'s aura radiated from him.

Once, she also had a chance to meet the boy when he was still three, which he probably had forgotten. She convinced herself and then tried to recall the name her sister had told her.

"Xiao Ma!".

Everyone in place turned their attention toward the figure of a beautiful woman in a blue cheongsam. Her eyes were glistening with tears as she looked at Soma longingly.

On the other hand, Soma also stood still like a statue, looking at the figure that carved a deep memory in his consciousness without words. After being called by that name, he felt like being struck by lightning, paralyzed.

After all these years living in Japan, he had already gotten used to being called Soma, which made it easier for his surrounding people to call him.

However, his real name in this world, and the name his parents agreed on, was Xiao Ma.

"...Mother? No, who are you?".

"Xiao Ma".

The woman who couldn\'t bear it anymore rushed to his side and wrapped him in her tender embrace, stunned everyone in place.

Hina, who was the one nearer, couldn\'t move and speak the moment she saw Soma\'s eyes, which were devoid of any emotion, like those of a lost person. A single tear started to travel on his stiff face.

The boy himself seemed not to notice it, but his figure looked weak right now, strings Hina\'s heart, making her want to console him. But she couldn\'t decide as she was still oblivious to the situation.

Xiao Lian, who saw her aunt like that, flustered and pondered what actually happened.

"Xiao Ma?!".

Serafina caught upon the details. Her brain began to move at her own discretion, and she was capable of drawing a conclusion about what actually happened between them.

Soma, who was being subjected to all of this, felt the woman detached herself from him. She placed her palm on his left cheek, wiping up the tears that, unknown to him, had streamed down.

"Xiao Ma, I am glad you are safe!".

"Xiao Ma? How do you know that? And your figure?".

"Ah, Sorry, I thought you already forgot me. My name is Xiao Rui, Xiao Lei\'s little sister. I am your aunt."

Time passed willingly, and the group settled themselves inside the VIP room, sitting where they belonged. Luckily, the venue was still empty, and only their groups were present.

However, for privacy, Serafina cast a thin layer of barrier from wind magic to block the incoming noise and prevent the sound that escaped from their groups from leaking.

Soma, who sat still looking at a far distance, kept being taken care of by Xiao Rui by his side. Then he turned his head to the side and spoke.

"...Um, aunt? I am sorry but my memories are a bit faint about you. Is that true that we are relatives?".

"Mm, I can guarantee you that".

Xiao Rui began to take out her private phone and select the gallery apps to share her moment with her sister.

"Look this is me and your mother".

He bent his torso to the side and saw the photo on the display. Both were almost identical, so they could be called twins.

Soma kept scrolling to the other until he found his mother smiling face with his father when he was still three years old and Xiao Rui.

The event was too overwhelming for him to digest all at once, so he leaned back and inhaled deeply, taking his time to regain his calm while reminiscing the picture of his parents.

These kinds of memories where his parents were involved, he buried deep inside long ago as a sign of him moving on. To continue living. But, knowing the fact that he had another family, a real relative that shared the same bloodline, made the grief and burden he carried lessened, and now he can proudly say that he wasn\'t alone in this world.

Of course, this kind of memory was none other than Soma, who lived in this world, not the one from the other world, but he couldn\'t contain this happy encounter as he stifled his cry.

The girls who thought dearly of Soma couldn\'t contain the dam that spilled; their eyes were blurring because of the tears, and they felt sad and happy for Soma. Only Xiao Lian, whose face was stiffened for the shocking truth this was.

Xiao Lian kept staring at the figure in the photo and a flash of memories from her childhood when she met a boy around her age and played with her for a while. But, because of the circumstances, the boy had to say goodbye to her, and coincidentally, they were destined to meet again.

"Do you believe me now?".

"...Yeah, But can you tell me? Why, after all this time?".

"...It was…".

However, when the time came for Xiao Rui to try to explain the story, the door in the room opened, and several familiar figures were spotted entering. It was Leon and his two girls, bringing many snacks in their hands before going toward their seats.

"Soma, we can discuss it later at night. For now, let\'s stop it further than this, okay? Here."

Hina, standing right in front of him and holding a blue handkerchief, began to wipe away the tears on Soma\'s face. Thus, her action invited a curious gaze from Xiao Rui.

The girl\'s affectionate gaze when she dealt with him and the way Xiao Ma also accepted her made it seem that the two of them had a special relationship.

"Thanks, Hina".

"No problem".

She nodded her head vigorously and then

began to use the handkerchief to wipe away her own tears before she stuffed it inside her storage.

"Miss, Xiao Rui, can I have a moment?".

Now, Serafina, who saw the tension in the room had lessened, faced Xiao Rui straight. As someone who stands on the same path, both of them can recognize each other with a single glance.

However, Xiao Rui was shocked by the statement the young girl had proposed.

"My name is Serafina Lawrence. Are you willing to stay in my manor tonight? Of course, I will treat you guys with the best care in the world."

"Um, why is that? I don\'t have any reason to accept it".

Xiao Rui\'s face stiffened, and a slight wariness could be detected in her behavior. She heard the name Serafina Lawrence several times and knew the amazing feat she achieved at such a young age.

Because of that, Serafina covered her lips while saying, "Oops!". Before explaining it in more frank terms.

"You might have a slight misunderstanding about me. As one of his partners, I only want to help my darling boyfriend\'s family stay in my house rather than have to spend some money outside."

"...What? Boyfriend?".
