Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 554 The Top Student is an Idiot

Zhan Mengyan hesitated for a moment, then immediately seemed to have made up her mind, and strode towards the principal's office.

The principal's office door was ajar. Zhan Mengyan stood at the door, took a deep breath, and gently knocked. There was no response. She let out another breath and knocked three more times, but still no response. She peeked through the crack in the door and found that the principal's office was empty.

Zhan Mengyan gently pushed open the door, leaning slightly forward as she cautiously entered the principal's office. Her eyes revealed a focused and careful demeanor, as if she were meticulously searching for something with every step. Her hands gripped the doorknob tightly, her fingertips exerting a slight pressure, as if sensing the world beyond. Then, she slowly turned and looked around. The office was extremely quiet. She saw a large desk, hurriedly placed the letter she had written to the principal on it, and turned to leave, but then turned back and straightened the letter. Then, she carefully withdrew.

Zhan Mengyan closed the principal's office door and fled the office at lightning speed.

Zhan Mengyan returned to her classroom and sat down. Her heart was pounding, like a frightened rabbit in her arms. Her throat was dry, followed by waves of nausea that made her swallow repeatedly. Her eyes darted around in panic, her face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Her lips were tightly pressed together, her facial muscles were tense, her fingers trembled, and her mind was blank and chaotic. She was gasping for breath, feeling as if she was about to suffocate.

Xu Yanmei, Zhan Mengyan's deskmate, glanced at her and thought: What's wrong with this girl? Is she sick? Is she being chased by a demon? Sitting next to her is really bad luck...

Xu Yanmei impatiently turned her face away, trying to keep Zhan Mengyan out of her sight. But Zhan Mengyan's heavy breathing still "disturbed" her.

"Zhan Mengyan, are you sick? If you are sick, go to the school clinic. Don't try to tough it out here! If you're not feeling well, it will make others feel bad too!"

As Xu Yanmei spoke, she stared indifferently at Zhan Mengyan.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I just ran a lap around the track. I haven't run in a long time, and I feel a little tired. I'll be fine after resting for a while."

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she smiled apologetically at Xu Yanmei.

"You call yourself the class's sports star? You're already out of breath after just one lap? I think you're all talk and no action!"

As Xu Yanmei spoke, a disdainful sneer appeared on her face.

"I have never claimed to be an athlete!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she turned her body slightly to calm herself down, took out her exercise book, and began to work out the problems.

Xu Yanmei opened her mouth, then swallowed her words, thinking to herself, "What's so great about you! You can't even afford to order a new book, what's there to be so smug about?"

The school bell rang, and the classroom fell silent.

With a creak, the door to Zhan Mengyan's classroom was pushed open—Principal Li walked in.

Some students looked up briefly, then looked down and continued studying; others were so engrossed in their calculations that they didn't even hear the door open.

Zhan Mengyan was also concentrating on working out her exercises. She was stumped by a trigonometric function problem and was racking her brains over it.

Xu Yanmei, who was sitting next to Zhan Mengyan, peeked at the exercises Zhan Mengyan was working on and started calculating as well. She solved the problem in no time and thought to herself with pride: Zhan Mengyan, what kind of academic genius are you? You can't even calculate as fast as me. You're just a stupid idiot!
