Meng Yan's Transformation

"So you take care of your deskmate day and night? You don't even have to go to the evening self-study class? Your eyes are dark. I think you are seriously ill. Here you are!..."

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, his eyes were filled with heartache, and he stuffed the army green canvas backpack around his waist into Zhan Mengyan's hands.

Zhan Mengyan put her hand on it and immediately felt a warmth in her palm.

The green army canvas backpack was warm, and its rough texture seemed to still retain Zhang Xincheng's body temperature.

"Meat buns, they're still hot. Did you not have breakfast?"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he smiled and nodded, motioning Zhan Mengyan to open it and take a look.

Zhan Mengyan unfastened the straps and a scent filled her nose.

There were a few plump, white and hot buns lying in the oil paper bag, and the steam condensed into fine water droplets on the inner wall of the bag.

Zhan Mengyan lowered her head and was about to bury her face in her schoolbag to take a bite of the bun.

"Zhan Mengyan, is your deskmate Dong Hanmei feeling better? Have you been with her these days?..."

Zhan Mengyan's classmate Xu Jingjing took Zhan Mengyan's arm while talking.

Zhang Xincheng watched Zhan Mengyan and Xu Jingjing walking towards the teaching building. He wanted to give her a few more words of advice and ask her to take care of her health, but he didn't know how to say anything in front of Zhan Mengyan.

Zhang Xincheng's worry surged like a tide, but he could only watch Zhan Mengyan gradually walk away. He felt helpless, with his hands hanging down, and walked towards the classroom.

"She hasn't attended evening self-study classes for several days. She's been busy taking care of patients every day. I don't know how she got the opportunity to go to school? How could Zhan Mengyan not know 'not forgetting her original intention'? The final exam is coming soon, but she is not in a hurry at all. If I had known that she didn't know how to cherish her opportunity to go to school, I shouldn't have brought her to school secretly. I took such a big risk to save a useless thing! I won't care about you anymore! I won't care about you!... No, if I don't care about her, who will? Her brother Zhan Zixun? By the way, I have to talk to Zhan Zixun and report to him about the fact that Zhan Mengyan didn't attend self-study classes these days, took care of patients every day, and exhausted herself into 'giant panda' eyes. See if Zhan Zixun can persuade Zhan Mengyan to be chivalrous and kind to others, but as cruel as steel to herself!"

Zhang Xincheng lowered his head and muttered to himself.

"Hey, Zhang Xincheng, why don't you look at the road when you walk? You bumped into me, what are you mumbling about?"

When Zhan Zixun was speaking, he bumped into Zhang Xincheng.

"Oh, Zhan Zixun! I was just looking for you, but you bumped into me after searching everywhere for so long! Your sister Zhan Mengyan hasn't been to evening self-study for several days? Can you help her?"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, he lifted Zhan Zixun's collar.

"Zhang Xincheng, are you crazy? Why are you holding my collar? It's like you want to fight me, let go! It's common for Zhan Mengyan to skip evening self-study. Her class teacher approved it. She wants to go to the sports school to play basketball to earn money, and she also has to go to the canning factory to pick hawthorn seeds and peel peanuts... Whatever she wants to do, how can I control it? Besides, this is the path she chose herself. If she didn't go to high school and stayed at home, she wouldn't have so many things to do. She asked for it and can't blame others!"

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he pushed Zhang Xincheng away and straightened his clothes that were wrinkled by Zhang Xincheng's grasping.

"Zhan Zixun! You are really good! Is Zhan Mengyan your biological sister? How can you say that she deserves the suffering she endures? She is strong and independent. As her brother, aren't you moved by her? It seems that she has not been working part-time recently, but has been taking care of patients in the county hospital every day. Her eyes are dark. You should go talk to her and ask her to spend more time on studying, otherwise she will ruin herself!"

While Zhang Xincheng was speaking, he anxiously grabbed Zhan Zixun again.

"Zhang Xincheng, even if Zhan Mengyan is my biological sister, what can I do about her long legs? She may have found a new way to make money by taking care of patients in the hospital. Maybe she can earn more by taking care of patients in the hospital than by doing other things! Zhan Mengyan has a good physique. She drank goat milk six or seven years more than me when she was a child. She is not as thin as me. It's okay for her to stay up all night for a few days. She will be fine in a few days. You don't need to make a fuss! Let's go to the morning self-study class."

When Zhan Zixun spoke, his eyebrows were calm, as if covered with frost that could not be melted. His pupils seemed to be frozen by the cold air, revealing a cold and distant feeling. His eyes were wandering without any warmth. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, restrained but forbearing, and his nose wings were slightly flared, revealing a suppressed indifference...

Zhan Zixun stared at Zhang Xincheng.

Zhan Zixun responded with a faint glance: "Zhang Xincheng, are you going to the morning self-study class? If you don't want to go, don't block my way, let me pass..."

Zhan Zixun's tone made the air freeze instantly.

Zhan Zixun turned around and left. His thin back blocked the weak sunlight, leaving only a dark shadow behind him...
