Meng Yan's Transformation

Zhan Mengyan's initial shock gradually turned into grievance, her brows were furrowed into a small "川" shape, her nose tip turned red, and tears finally rolled down and slid down her cheeks.

Her expression was a mixture of stubbornness and fragility, as if she was asking, "Brother, why are you doing this to me?"

When Zhang Xincheng saw Zhan Mengyan's tears, he became flustered instantly, with his hands hanging in the air, not knowing whether to wipe her tears or give her a deep hug. His eyes were full of anxiety and self-blame.

Zhan Mengyan’s sobbing was like needles piercing his heart. He wanted to comfort her but his words were incoherent. He could only rub his hands awkwardly and say repeatedly: “Don’t cry, don’t cry…Zhan Mengyan, don’t cry…”

Zhang Xincheng turned and faced Zhan Zixun.

"Zhan Zixun, why are you yelling at Zhan Mengyan?! If you suddenly wake up from your sleep and a hideous face smiles at you foolishly and drools all over your face, what will you do? I...I really shouldn't have asked you to persuade Zhan Mengyan! There is really no brother like you in the world!"

When Zhang Xincheng spoke, his chest rose and fell violently, as if the anger had burned to his heart, his voice was hoarse and low, and every word was full of anger. His eyes were fixed on Zhan Zixun, his gaze was as sharp as an arrow.

"What's the matter? I'll just wipe my face and go back to sleep. Besides, my second cousin isn't very handsome, so there's no need to use the word 'ferocious' to describe him. Zhang Xincheng, you've already used exaggeration."

When Zhan Zixun spoke, he didn't dare to look Zhang Xincheng in the eye. He pretended to be calm and looked indifferent.

"Okay! Zhan Zixun, I've met your second cousin. He came to school several times. When the female classmates saw him, they screamed in high pitch. His face looks like the bell ringer in "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Anyone who sees him will be scared. Since you are fearless, why don't you switch with Zhan Mengyan? You can live at your third cousin's house and let Zhan Mengyan live in the school dormitory. Wouldn't this problem be solved?"

When Zhang Xincheng spoke, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Zhan Zixun fiercely, as if he could see his soul through his body. His fists were clenched tightly, showing his inner anger - if it wasn't in front of Zhan Mengyan, he would really punch him to wake Zhan Zixun up!

"Zhang Xincheng, what's your solution to the problem? Get rid of me, what are you thinking? I have to live in the school to make it convenient for me to go to and from school. I also want to prepare for the college entrance examination in my second year of high school. My time is very tight. Living at my third cousin's house is so far from the school! Wouldn't I waste my time on the road? Zhan Mengyan is different, she is only in the first year of high school and has plenty of time. Besides, Zhang Xincheng, you are always talking nonsense, why don't you go to live at your third cousin's house, and switch with Zhan Mengyan?"

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he looked at Zhang Xincheng angrily.

"Is it appropriate for me to live at your third cousin's house? He is not my third cousin, and I have no relatives or friends with him. Can the master take me in? Zhan Zixun, you are so stupid to come up with this idea!"

Zhang Xincheng showed an expression of disbelief when he spoke.

"Zhan Mengyan is my biological sister, not yours. Why are you giving me such a stupid idea? Aren't you just worrying about nothing and meddling in other people's business?"

When Zhan Zixun spoke, he stretched his neck towards Zhang Xincheng with his eyes wide open.

"Zhan Zixun, you...you...you called me 'a dog trying to catch a rat, meddling in other people's business'?! Good! Good! I think you are 'a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not knowing the kindness of a good person'! Zhan Mengyan is your biological sister, not my sister Zhang Xincheng, I don't care about it, okay?! I'm leaving..."

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, veins popped out on his forehead with anger, like twisted earthworms.

"You two, stop arguing. It's all my fault for telling you about my situation. I'll take care of anything that comes my way from now on. I won't say anything more... I wanted to discuss something with you and ask for your help, but before I even started talking, you're acting like fighting cocks!"

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, her eyebrows were twisted into a figure eight shape, her lips were tightly pursed, her eyes switched between Zhan Zixun and Zhang Xincheng, and there were traces of tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Okay! Okay! Let's stop arguing. If you have anything else to say, just tell me..."

When Zhang Xincheng spoke, his tone suddenly became extremely gentle.

"Zhan Mengyan, can you please tell me everything at once? Don't be so slow as to squeeze out toothpaste... Look at Zhang Xincheng glaring at me, as if he wants to eat me up. Do you want to see us two brothers fighting over your little thing?

Zhan Zixun showed impatience when he spoke.

"Zhan Zixun, shut up! We all listen to Zhan Mengyan!

"Yesterday I saw my aunt at my third cousin's house. She said Brother Zixun knew where she lived and she wanted me to live with her. She asked Brother Zixun to take me there in the evening and help her fix up the house."

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, she looked at Zhan Zixun with some pride, as if to say: There is always a way out!

"Great! Zhan Mengyan, why didn't you tell us earlier? You've made us both anxious. You devilish girl, do you want to see us make a fool of ourselves?"

As Zhang Xincheng spoke, a feeling of relief came over him.
