Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan shook her head painfully, hugged An Pingping tightly and said, "Pingping, I'm sorry. If you hadn't stood up for me, you wouldn't have been punished. You were implicated by me. I'm sorry."

An Pingping also hugged Zhan Mengyan's shoulders tightly and said, "We are good friends and good classmates who are friends in times of trouble. Let's not talk about debts or who owes whom. I am willing to do anything for you. If anyone bullies you again, tell me and I will go after him. I noticed that you are particularly afraid of our current head teacher Zhang Deren. What did he say when he took you to the playground during self-study class? I couldn't hear what he said, but I saw him gesticulating around you, as if he was saying something bad. You just stood there motionless, as if you were scared into a wooden man by him."

"No, Teacher Zhang didn't say anything. He just told me how to study hard in the future." Zhan Mengyan said and pulled An Pingping back to the classroom.

Zhan Mengyan waited until school was over in fear.

When Zhan Mengyan arrived home after school, she was afraid to go in. She was worried that her facial expression would let her mother see the heaviness of her heart, so she first went to the small river beside the yard. The sparkling water was like a large mirror. She looked at her reflection in the water, and tried hard to make herself smile, using a forced and forced smile to hide the heaviness of her heart. Just as she was practicing her smile repeatedly in front of the water, Zhan Ziqiang came over with a fishing net.

Zhan Ziqiang saw Zhan Mengyan standing by the river facing the water, mumbling something. After listening carefully, he heard Zhan Mengyan say, "I want to be happy, I want to be happy..." The smile on her face seemed a little forced, and it was obviously a forced smile, hiding a hint of sorrow and melancholy.

"Zhan Mengyan, you keep saying you want to be happy, but your facial expression doesn't look happy. It looks weird. Is the school asking you to rehearse some program again? Are you practicing?"

Zhan Mengyan was concentrating on her practice when she was suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Zhan Ziqiang. She felt like her little secret had been discovered, like a balloon that had been punctured. She suddenly lost all her strength, as if all her efforts to cover up for most of the day had been wasted. She felt helpless and had nowhere to hide. She looked at Zhan Ziqiang with an uneasy look, a gloomy look passed across her cheek, and then she quickly let an awkward smile appear on the corner of her mouth...

Zhan Ziqiang saw Zhan Mengyan's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Sister Mengyan, you practiced too hard. I came here suddenly and scared you, didn't I? Why should you be embarrassed if your brother saw you? You practice well. I will go to the other side to catch fish for you. I will ask mom to make you crucian carp soup in the evening. Eat more fish and your brain will become smarter. You will get full marks in every exam."

"Brother Ziqiang, I've finished my practice and I'm going home. You can catch the fish here. I'll have crucian carp soup after my evening self-study class." Zhan Mengyan said and went home.

"Did your cousin Zhang Deren change your seat?" Yun Qing asked when she saw Zhan Mengyan.

"It was changed. The seats were moved three rows forward. The new seats allow me to see clearly what the teacher writes on the blackboard." Zhan Mengyan said pretending to be very satisfied.

"That's great. Your brother Zi'an really keeps his word. No wonder he was able to marry such an excellent sister-in-law for you. Mengyan, you should eat quickly. After dinner, go to evening self-study." Yunqing said happily.

The school has added evening self-study classes for students in the third grade of junior high school. The so-called evening self-study is that after school, after the boarding students have dinner, they can go back to their own class to continue three classes (one hour each class). After the day students have dinner at home, they can freely decide whether to come to school for evening self-study. Sometimes, the teachers of various subjects will give students remedial lessons or send mock exams for students to answer, because some students from well-off families whose parents do not control electricity consumption can take evening self-study classes at home. In this way, when each class comes to school for evening self-study, the number of students is not complete and there are vacant seats. Therefore, when the teachers of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and English want to give students remedial lessons, several classes are put together, which is called a large class.

Zhan Mengyan had been looking forward to evening self-study for a long time, because at home, Zhan Yu was always very "stingy" with the lights and electricity at night. Evening self-study made Zhan Mengyan feel like a fish in water, and she could study to her heart's content.

If there are no tutoring classes, students from each class will study in their own class. When there are tutoring classes, several classes will be combined into one big class. The seats will be disrupted after the class is combined into a big class. Every time a big class is combined, An Pingping helps Zhan Mengyan grab a front row seat. But when the math teacher Zhang Deren gives tutoring to the students, An Pingping doesn't dare to grab a front row seat for Zhan Mengyan. She is afraid that Zhang Deren will find out and punish her. During math tutoring classes, Zhan Mengyan is sometimes squeezed to the back row. There are many students in a large class. If she is squeezed to the back seat, it's like Zhan Mengyan is listening blindly. This makes Zhan Mengyan start to lose interest in math class...
