章節 37: Change of Seats (2)
編輯: Henyee Translations
Yue Huaide finished sharpening the kitchen knife. "Where are those brats now?"
Yue Yan was shocked. Wen Hongyu hurriedly stopped him and shouted, "What are you doing? What are we going to do if you injure them and get jailed!"
Yue Huaide's eyes were bloodshot. "They want to hurt my daughter. I'll make them lose a layer of flesh even if I have to die!"
Yue Yan hugged her father's waist tightly. "Dad, calm down. It's not worth it to exchange you with them. They're all scumbags. I don't want to become a child without a father. I said it so that we can think of a way together. If you don't calm down, I won't dare to tell you guys when I'm in danger in the future."
Yue Huaide calmed down after much persuasion. "I didn't look for them today because I was worried that you two would be bullied if I got jailed, but I have to take revenge for Yueyue."
Wen Zaitian's eyes darted around. "Uncle, those hooligans' families don't care about their lives. Their families won't admit that they're their children even if they cause trouble and someone comes looking for them. Why don't we join forces with my father and my second uncle to ambush them on the path they have to pass through and beat them up?"
Yue Yan saw that her father had expressed his stance. As long as he did not hurt anyone with a knife, he could beat them up. Anyway, those hooligans should suffer a little.
"Alright, let them suffer a little. I'll fight them to the death if they dare to rob my daughter again."
Wen Zaitian told them this news when he returned home. When they found out that Yue Yan had almost been robbed, his father, Second Uncle, and Third Uncle all wanted to stand up for Yue Yan. Even Grandma provided him with her future walking stick.
Other than the thin and weak Third Uncle, his father and Second Uncle were both factory workers. What they did not lack the least was strength.
Second Uncle's voice was like a huge bell. "When those little rabbits are released, we'll follow Brother-in-law to beat them up even if we have to take leave. They bullied our niece. How dare they!" He slammed his palm on the table so hard that the cup actually vibrated.
Wen Zaitian shrank his neck. He had really underestimated Second Uncle. Fortunately, Second Uncle was not his father. Otherwise, he would suffer greatly whenever he had to take a beating.
Yue Yan didn't sleep peacefully at night. One moment, she dreamed that Zhou Boyan was lying in a pool of blood. The next moment, she dreamed that Zhou Boyan was still smiling at her after being stabbed several times. Her face was already covered in tears when she woke up.
Yue Yan was listless when she went to school in the morning. This was the first time she was so listless when she came to school. She looked even more haggard than the day before.
Wen Hongyu even wanted her daughter to take leave today when she woke up. Yue Yan did not look too good.
Unexpectedly, Yun Cheng was also sighing. The two deskmates were simply comrades in distress. Neither of them said anything, but they could feel that each other was not in a good mood.
Finally, Yun Cheng couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so listless today? It's as if you didn't sleep the entire night."
Yue Yan was originally a skinny and malnourished girl with dark yellow skin. However, now that her family's conditions were better, the food that Wen Hongyu bought was more exquisite. There were two proper dishes for a meal, and the family looked much better than before.
Yue Yan's skin had improved greatly, and her skin had turned pale. Hence, her dark circles were very serious and she looked very haggard in the eyes of her deskmate when she did not sleep well the entire night.
"Thank you for reminding me yesterday. I was followed and almost robbed after school yesterday. They didn't succeed because I was vigilant. They chased me all the way. They were detained for half a month, and I had a nightmare all night."
Yun Cheng's eyes widened. "Then I've become a jinx! Are you alright?"
Yue Yan forced a smile. "I wanted to thank you personally, but my mental state isn't too good. I'll thank you seriously after I recover. I'm fine, but I'm a little traumatized."
Yun Cheng quickly waved her hand. "No need for that. I'm just reminding you. I didn't help you."
Yue Yan felt that her little fatty deskmate was not that stupid. At least, he still had a normal brain when facing the male protagonist.
She asked casually, "Why are you sighing so early in the morning? Did your mother ask you to lose weight again?"
A fatty in this era was definitely a child who had a good family background and was doted on. Everyone was thin, so a fatty's family was definitely rich.
"Don't mention it. My father received a last-minute call from the province last night. He said that he was going to a meeting in the morning. The house was in a tizzy, and my mother's voice was loud. I was woken up several times from fright."
The two poor deskmates did not sleep enough. The two of them looked at each other helplessly.
Yun Cheng lay on the table to catch up on his sleep. Teachers usually didn't call him on purpose. They probably knew about Yun Cheng's family's background.
Yue Yan recalled that Yun Cheng's father seemed to be the mayor. He was informed of a meeting in the morning in the middle of the night?
Perhaps there were some changes again.
She could not get involved in the matters of these big shots.
Yue Yan was undoubtedly the top student in the cohort after receiving the monthly examination results slip today. However, the monthly examination was not an official large-scale examination. The teacher praised her verbally and told her not to be arrogant.
The second in class was Cao Wenkai, and the third was Su Yu.
The first from the bottom was Wang Hecui, and the second from the bottom was Yun Cheng.
Yun Cheng was really miserable. Yue Yan saw that he was frowning one moment and sighing the next. She flipped through his paper and realized that Yun Cheng had copied her multiple-choice questions wrongly.
She was caught between laughter and tears. "It's fate. I went easy on you, but you didn't grasp it."
Yun Cheng cupped his face in his hands. "Stop talking. Let me calm down." It was better not to tell his mom about this result, or he would be caned.
However, he could not understand. "Yue Yan, what's wrong with your brain? Why did you get everything right and I got everything wrong?" He was clearly sitting beside the star student, but why didn't her aura rub off on him at all?
