Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 345: Encountering the Ex-Girlfriend

The night is falling, the stars are twinkling, it's like the elves of the night are whispering in my ears, telling a silent nocturne, the moonlight is like a veil gently falling on the quiet street, covering this night with a mysterious and soft silver glow...

Zhan Mengyan finished a day's class. Feeling a little tired and yearning for the tranquility of the night, she quietly walked down the street...

When they were almost at Liu Wei's house, Zhan Yingyan subconsciously touched the corner door key in her pocket - it lay obediently in the pocket, waiting for its new owner to use it.

Zhan Mengyan originally planned to go back to the old house in the backyard, but when she passed by the front gate, she was attracted by two long shadows reflected on the gate wall. At first, Zhan Mengyan didn't think much about it, but as the illusion of distance gradually became clear, her heartbeat accelerated, because one of the two shadows was Liu Wei, a man who looked gentle and caring to Sister Yingying and was affectionate. However, at this moment, he was standing in the dim light of the street lamp, talking to a woman, the woman's figure was slightly blurred, and Zhan Mengyan felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

Driven by curiosity, Zhan Mengyan quietly approached the gate wall. She tried not to make any noise, for fear of disturbing the secret that should not be discovered. As the distance got closer, Zhan Mengyan saw the woman's face clearly...

The night was dark and everything was silent, leaving only the sparse starlight and the occasional whisper of the night wind in the distance, interweaving into a quiet and slightly desolate picture. In this deep night, the woman stood quietly in front of Liu Wei, her figure wrapped in the soft and hazy moonlight, looking particularly weak and helpless.

Her face was in a faint shadow, but her tearful eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, twinkling with endless sorrow and fragility. Tears slowly slid down her delicate face, each drop carrying unknown thoughts, silently telling of her loneliness, pain, and unspeakable sorrow and grievance. Her soft crying was gentle and suppressed, as if it was the most delicate love poem in the middle of the night, making people feel pity and love involuntarily; that crying was like the gentle plucking of a string, although not ostentatious, it was enough to touch the softest part of the heart of everyone who heard it; in her voice, there were both helpless sighs for the past and confusion and fear for the future, interwoven into a wordless sad song...

The air around her seemed to freeze because of her sadness, and even the wind slowed down, fearing to startle the quiet sorrow. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and every breath was accompanied by a slight sob, which was a silent call, longing for warmth, understanding, care, and redemption...

"Wang Xifeng, please stop crying. You've broken my heart. We've agreed to break up. My mother saw how heartbroken I was after the breakup, so she asked someone to introduce me to someone. Her name is Zhan Yingying. She's a kind-hearted and simple girl. We get along very well. So it's impossible for us to be together. Just forget me."

Liu Wei had tears in his eyes as he spoke.

"I said I wanted to break up with you because I was being coquettish and throwing a tantrum. I didn't really want to break up with you. I thought you would coax me after a while and we would be back to normal. But I went to the steamed bun shop we often go to, and the owner said you brought your new girlfriend to eat steamed buns. I was panicked. I didn't dare to go to your house. Your mother didn't like me anyway, so I waited at the door of your house. God will not let down those who work hard. Brother Liu Wei, I finally waited for you...

As Wang Xifeng spoke, she pretended to be dizzy and fell precariously into Liu Wei's arms.

"Xifeng, what's wrong with you?"

As Liu Wei spoke, he gently stroked Wang Xifeng's head.

"Brother Liu Wei, I feel a little dizzy. Please hold me tight. I am so happy today. My lover has been lost and found again. I am the happiest woman in the world again."

When Wang Xifeng spoke, her eyes were blurred and there was deep tenderness in them.

"Wang Xifeng, stand still and listen to me: I have a new girlfriend now, her name is Zhan Yingying. You are no longer Wang Xifeng, you are my ex-girlfriend now. You can't look for me anymore. If Zhan Yingying knew that you came to see me so late at night, she would be hurt. You can't be so selfish. You can come when you want and leave when you want..."

While Liu Wei was speaking, he pushed Wang Xifeng to stand in the corner.

"Brother Liu Wei, you feel bad for Zhan Yingying getting hurt, but don't you feel bad for me getting hurt? How can you be so cruel to me? You have a new lover and you forget the old one. Have you forgotten the affection we had when we grew up together?"

As Wang Xifeng spoke, tears fell like beads from a broken string.

"Xifeng, Xifeng, stop crying and go home. It's too late today. When my younger sister-in-law comes back from evening study and sees you crying at our door, she will misunderstand me. I can't clear myself from this even if I jump into the Yellow River."

As Liu Wei spoke, he looked around anxiously, quickly scanning the nearest bushes, and unconsciously widened his sight to scan the surrounding wider space, looking for any clues that might reveal their secret. He was particularly worried that Zhan Mengyan would see this scene.

"You are so good, Liu Wei. You even brought your sister-in-law to live with you. I think you will bring Zhan Yingying to live with you soon, right? I won't leave today. I will wait for your sister-in-law to come back and ask her to tell her sister to give my boyfriend back to me. It is immoral for her sister to steal someone else's boyfriend. Tell her to quit quickly. We are childhood sweethearts, a natural match..."

When Wang Xifeng spoke, her tone became unscrupulous, as if she had grasped what Liu Wei was afraid of.

"Wang Xifeng, don't go too far. My aunt's sister Zhan Mengyan is just a high school student and doesn't know anything. You tell a student about our emotional entanglement. How can she judge who is right and who is wrong? She will think that you are hurting her sister. They have a very good relationship as sisters. In this way, you have hurt another high school student. Why do you want to find so many people to bury our dead love for us? You are hurting others and not benefiting yourself..."

As Liu Wei spoke, he revealed his disappointment with Wang Xifeng.

"Brother Liu Wei, how can you say that our love is dead? I felt dizzy just now, didn't you hold me up subconsciously? This unconscious behavior shows that you have me in your heart, and you love me in your heart, but you are stubborn and don't want to admit it. My relationship with Zhao Jinlong, the son of the head of Jinxi Village, was fake. I deliberately angered you so that you would care about me, pamper me and love me more after you were jealous. I didn't expect that things would develop like this and it was completely out of my control. Brother Liu Wei, I was wrong, I will never be petty again, just forgive me, let's make peace..."

As Wang Xifeng spoke, she looked at Liu Wei with pitiful eyes.

"Xifeng, this is not a place to talk for long. My father and mother have gone to the old Kong family to pay their respects and will be back soon. If they bump into us, I will be scolded, but you, a girl, come to your ex-boyfriend's house in the middle of the night, crying and making a fuss. You know my mother's temper. Just imagine how she will treat you..."

When Liu Wei spoke, he pretended to be in great pain, trying to use this sadness to cover up his discomfort at being spied on by others.

Although their conversation was quiet, it was particularly clear in this quiet night - and occasionally there was a woman's low sobbing. There was also Liu Wei's laughter and soothing voice...

Zhan Mengyan never thought that such a scene would happen before her eyes, let alone expected that her sister's beloved boyfriend would meet his ex on such a night.

Zhan Mengyan felt mixed emotions, worried about her sister's emotional state and confused about this complicated relationship. She stood there as if frozen in time, not daring to disturb her rashly, nor able to turn around and leave. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but it also seemed to blow away some of the confusion in Zhan Mengyan's heart.

In the end, Zhan Mengyan decided to remain silent and bury this unexpected discovery deep in her heart. Zhan Mengyan understood that everyone has their own secrets and choices, and all she can do is to silently protect her family and give them enough protection and space. The moment she turned back to the corner door of the backyard, she prayed silently, hoping that all this would not hurt anyone, especially her beloved sister.

The night is still deep and quiet, but Zhan Mengyan's heart has become more delicate and mature because of the encounter that night.

The subtle heartache and embarrassment at that moment, like a brand, was deeply engraved in her memory...
