Meng Yan's Transformation

The head teacher Zhang Deren led the students back to the classroom for self-study.

Only Zhan Mengyan, An Pingping and Lu Zhiqiang were left on the playground.

"Lu Zhiqiang is so wicked and ungrateful. He harms others and himself. Even his benefactor has been implicated and punished because of him..." An Pingping said indignantly as she looked at Lu Zhigang who was weeding not far away.

"An Pingping, stop talking about Lu Zhigang and stop irritating him. If he hears you, he will get angry with you again. If you two start fighting again, I can't stop them alone. If he really wants to hit you, you are not as strong as him, so you will be the one who suffers. It's not worth it for him to beat you up. Besides, how can he not be angry with you when you call him a dog? Think about it, if someone calls you a dog, wouldn't you be furious? In order to vent your anger for me, you are now sacrificing yourself, right? It must not feel good to be criticized by the teacher together and punished to weed together." Zhan Mengyan advised.

An Pingping was very dissatisfied after hearing Zhan Mengyan's advice. She said, "Zhan Mengyan, you underestimate me too much. If we really fight, Lu Zhigang is no match for me. I am afraid that if I vent my anger, you will be punished by our head teacher Zhang Deren. Otherwise, I must beat Lu Zhigang up today. If I can really vent your anger, it will be worth it. But now I can't vent my anger, and you will be criticized and punished. This head teacher Zhang Deren is unfair and unjust. I fought with Lu Zhigang, but you didn't instigate us to fight. Why should you be punished with us?"

An Pingping glanced at Lu Zhigang while talking to Zhan Mengyan, and Lu Zhigang happened to be looking at them. When their eyes met, An Pingping said provocatively: "Lu Zhigang, why are you looking at me? Do you still want to fight with me?"

Zhan Mengyan hurriedly pulled An Pingping and said, "An Pingping, please stop talking. If you are a man, Lu Zhigang, don't bother with An Pingping. Let's weed quickly. Our head teacher Zhang Deren will come to check our work results. If we don't do enough, we will be criticized."

Zhan Mengyan said this as she quickened her weeding pace.

Lu Zhigang felt bad when he saw Zhan Mengyan, who was weeding silently with her head down. He walked towards Zhan Mengyan and saw the sweat on her face dripping onto the grass. He said softly, "Classmate Zhan Mengyan, I just saw your face getting sunburned and I felt sorry for you. I didn't mean to make fun of you, but I was used to speaking hippie language... I'm sorry... Classmate Zhan Mengyan, please forgive me. Forgive me for having a loose mouth and talking nonsense. Also, please forgive me for the pranks I played on you and the harm I caused you... Please forgive me... I've always wanted to say sorry to you, but I didn't have the courage. Today, it was An Pingping who gave me the courage to apologize to you. I solemnly ask you today and hope to get your forgiveness..."

"Pah, pah..." An Pingping heard Lu Zhigang's sincere apology, put down the shovel, clapped approvingly and said, "Lu Zhigang, you finally speak like a human being, like a man with conscience. If you can get Zhan Mengyan's forgiveness, I can also take back what I said about you being a dog and apologize to you!"

Zhan Mengyan still lowered her head and continued weeding. She said calmly, "I have a bad memory. I choose to forget unpleasant things and only remember happy things. It's great that you two can reconcile and stop fighting. Then hurry up and weed."

"Zhan Mengyan, what you said makes me feel sad. I think you don't sincerely forgive me in your heart." Lu Zhigang said disappointedly.

Zhan Mengyan looked up and saw Lu Zhigang's disappointed expression, and explained: "Lu Zhigang, I understand your feelings, but I really don't hate you. Do you remember the words in Lu Xun's "The Kite"? 'If you have completely forgotten and have no resentment, how can you forgive? Forgiveness without resentment is just a lie.' Lu Xun has always been obsessed with it, hoping to ask for his brother's forgiveness, but his brother has completely forgotten the harm he has done to his brother and has no resentment. So how can he forgive him? He has even forgotten the hatred, and Lu Xun believes that his brother's forgiveness without any complaints is a lie. Maybe in the future when we grow up and look back on our playfulness, it will be a good memory. Lu Zhigang, don't think too much, and get to work."
