Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 252 A New Student

Zhan Mengyan was taken away by Teacher Yan. Zhang Xincheng watched the two of them walk away and secretly followed behind them worriedly.

Zhang Xincheng saw through the crack in the door of the first grade liberal arts class that all the students were quietly attending morning self-study. Zhan Mengyan was taken to the back row of seats in the classroom by Teacher Yan. Her deskmate was a thin, dark girl. She smiled at Zhan Mengyan in a friendly manner, and Zhan Mengyan smiled and nodded in return. So the two of them greeted each other.

Zhan Mengyan sat down, took out the book given by Zhang Xincheng from her schoolbag, and started morning self-study with her classmates.

Teacher Yan walked out of the classroom and saw Zhang Xincheng walking in the corridor. He hurried to catch up and said, "Zhang Xincheng, what else are you worried about? Follow me to see Zhan Mengyan. You should also go back to the class for morning self-study. According to Zhan Mengyan's high school entrance examination results, I should have introduced her in front of the classmates, but I found that Zhan Mengyan is a very introverted and low-key girl. So I didn't introduce her in front of the whole class. After all, the school has been open for more than a month, and she just went to school, which will arouse the curiosity of the classmates. So I still arranged the seat in a low-key manner according to her personal opinion. Zhan Mengyan has missed more than a month of classes, which is not too much, but not too little either. I don't know if she can catch up with the learning progress of her classmates."

Zhang Xincheng scratched his head awkwardly and said with a smile, "I have nothing to worry about when I entrust Zhan Mengyan to Teacher Yan. I will go back to the class for morning self-study now. When Zhan Mengyan was in the third grade of junior high school, she was hit by her head teacher because of her family reasons. After her quota for the normal school was cancelled, her personality changed from being lively and cheerful to a little introverted. She likes to be restrained and low-key. Teacher Yan, don't worry, Zhan Mengyan will definitely catch up and will not drag down the academic performance of your class. But there is one thing that makes people worry. I feel that she will spend every day in fear. She is always worried that her father will take her home from school. On the way here, she asked me many times: What if her father comes to school to take her home? If this concern is not dispelled, I feel that she will not be able to devote herself to study."

"Zhan Mengyan has such a miserable fate at such a young age! Yes, if a person lives in fear every day, he or she will not be able to devote himself or herself to anything. I feel that she is also very afraid of me as her head teacher. Let's put it this way, after school, you find a time to tell her and say that it was me, Teacher Yan, who said so. If I find out that her father came to the school to arrest someone, I will step in to deal with it and will never let her go home." Teacher Yan said decisively and firmly.

Zhan Mengyan spent the whole morning in trepidation. When the teacher asked questions in English class, she was still listening to the footsteps outside the door. When the question came to her, her deskmate told her the question and she answered it. During Chinese class, the Chinese teacher checked the text she had memorized yesterday. Zhan Mengyan was asked questions but she couldn't answer them. It was only when her deskmate told the teacher that she was a new student that she was allowed to sit down and listen to the class. Whenever someone knocked on the door of the classroom, her heart would rise to her throat, fearing that it was her father who came to see her.

During the lunch break, Zhang Xincheng brought lunch to Zhan Mengyan.

"Zhang Xincheng, I was so embarrassed today. I couldn't concentrate in class. When the English teacher asked me to answer a question, I was distracted. I only heard footsteps outside the classroom, which sounded like my father's footsteps. I was scared to death. I couldn't answer the teacher's questions in Chinese class either. I feel like I can't attend the class normally..." Zhan Mengyan said frustratedly.

Zhang Xincheng advised Zhan Mengyan not to be afraid of being caught by her father, and told her that Teacher Yan would come forward to help deal with the matter, which moved Zhan Mengyan to tears.

The last two classes in the afternoon were self-study classes. Zhan Mengyan's deskmate Dong Hanmei lent her class notes for more than a month to Zhan Mengyan, which made Zhan Mengyan feel at home. The two chatted and found out that Dong Hanmei's brother was an English teacher at Xinxing Middle School and had taught Zhan Mengyan English. Dong Hanmei's eldest sister was a math teacher at the third grade of a regular high school, and her second sister opened a small shop near the regular high school. She did not live on campus, but lived at her second sister's house.

Zhan Mengyan was envious of Dong Hanmei's family members. When Dong Hanmei asked Zhan Mengyan about her family and why she came to school more than a month after the start of the semester, Zhan Mengyan kept silent and said nothing. Zhan Mengyan's unfamiliarity made their newly established friendship a little tense and awkward.

When the students were quietly studying in self-study class, the head teacher, Teacher Yan, walked up to the podium with a tall, fashionably dressed girl standing next to her.

"Classmates! Let me introduce to you a new transfer student in our class. She is Xu Xiaqing from Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province. Now please welcome her with warm applause!" After saying this, Teacher Yan led the applause.
