Change of Seats (1)

***

Yue Yan's eyes were red when she returned home. The police had wanted her to keep a low profile for a while and not ride this conspicuous bicycle for the time being.

However, he retracted his words after knowing where Yue Yan's family lived.

They were already living in this area. What they cared about was not whether the bicycle was lost or not, but their personal safety.

Unfortunately, those hooligans were repeat offenders. The police could only detain them every time they committed a crime. The police were furious, but they had no evidence. They were always released after their detainment.

They had heard that the original owner had sold the house for more than 1,000 yuan. This young lady's family must have some background to afford such a big house.

Zhou Boyan saw that Yue Yan was down. After all, she had just been frightened. "If there's no one at your house, come to my house to do your homework."

Yue Yan nodded. "Alright."

She went home and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were unbelievably red. She stared at herself in the mirror. "Yue Yan, oh Yue Yan, you're really getting worse. You almost harmed Zhou Boyan this time. If something happens to him, feeling regret will be useless."

She washed her face and told herself to be strong. At the very least, she had to have means to protect herself and not harm her friends.

After Yue Yan finished her homework, she dawdled and did not go home.

"Zhou Boyan, thank you for saving me today."

Zhou Boyan was surprised. "Why? You don't even call me Brother after I saved you?"

"No, listen to me. I'm sorry for implicating you today. You would have been the one injured today if you didn't have the means to protect yourself."

The more Yue Yan thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She sniffed. "I should have gone to the police station as soon as I could, instead of trying to be smart and going somewhere crowded. I ended up getting lost."

Zhou Boyan chuckled. "How can I blame you? Yueyue is already very calm. You did very well today. You discovered in advance that someone was following you and even knew to go to crowded places. How can such a smart Yueyue be a smart alec?"

"And I let you leave first because I'm confident. If I don't have any tricks up my sleeve…" Zhou Boyan deliberately wanted to leave her hanging.

Yue Yan's heart skipped a beat.

"Do you know what rank I got in long-distance running last semester?"

Yue Yan shook her head.

Zhou Boyan sighed. "Because I ran too fast, the school suggested that I participate in provincial athlete training. They suggested that I go to the Olympics to bring glory to the country."

Yue Yan smiled through her tears. "Brother Xiaofei, you really know how to joke."

Zhou Boyan chuckled. "This is really not a joke. You know that I always have a fever and faint. Then, the principal gave up."

At this point, Yue Yan couldn't help but worry. "What exactly caused the fever? Didn't the hospital say anything?"

Seeing that she was frowning, Zhou Boyan did not hide it from her on purpose. "I don't think it will happen again in the future. I just have a feeling."

Yue Yan was still worried. She felt that a premonition was not reliable.

She could only remind him, "Remember to tell me if you're not feeling well."

"You still love to worry so much, little girl."

Yue Yan did not retort. Instead, she was considering whether she should study medicine in the future. This way, she would not be at a loss when Brother Xiaofei's illness acted up again.

However, she had to study science to go into medicine. In her previous life, she was a liberal arts student, so her science results were average.

If she studied hard in this life, she should be able to try out science, right?

Yue Yan frowned.

Zhou Boyan teased her. "What are you thinking about? Why are you so conflicted?"

Yue Yan said hesitantly, "I'm wondering if I should transfer to the science department."

Zhou Boyan asked, "Haven't you already been assigned to your class? Why do you want to change science subjects?"

She instinctively hid the fact that she wanted to study medicine.

"I'm just thinking. I might not change it."

Zhou Boyan didn't stop her. "If you want to change, the new semester has just started. You should be able to keep up with the progress."

"Yes! I'll consider it carefully." Yue Yan nodded heavily.

It was so good to have a friend like Brother Xiaofei. He did not put her down and even gave her advice.

After Yue Yan left, the television suddenly turned on by itself.

[This young lady is so beautiful. I'm tempted even if you're not.]

"Don't make jokes."

[No way. Don't tell me you can't tell that the young lady wants to learn science because of you?]

Zhou Boyan frowned. "If you continue to spout nonsense, go into hibernation."

[You're so ruthless. I analyzed it rationally, but you actually want to close me down~ Have you forgotten who gave you the suggestion to give the bicycle?! You want to please a young lady with your straight man's aesthetic standards, but in the end, I'm actually just a substitute.]

"Then why did you spread rumors that she studied science for me? Don't you know that this era is very harsh on women?"

[I already said that I analyzed it. Don't you understand that she suddenly mentioned that she wanted to study science after she asked you about your fever?]

Zhou Boyan was silent for a long time before he squeezed out a few words. "Don't say that again."

His tone was so serious that the artificial intelligence did not dare to say anything again.

Yue Yan went home and told her parents about her being followed and robbed, especially when these hooligans were about to be released after being detained for only half a month.

Wen Hongyu said anxiously, "What should we do? Why don't I pick you up from school in the future?"

Yue Yan did not expect her mother to have such a huge reaction.

"Mom, don't be nervous. They've already been recorded. If my bicycle is lost or I'm injured, they'll be suspects."

Wen Zaitian stomped his feet in anger. "Is the leader a blondie!"

Yue Yan recalled that there was indeed a blondie who was very arrogant.

"There's a blond."

Wen Zaitian gritted his teeth. "It's them. We're from the same elementary school. They loved to steal when they were young. They were even caught and beaten up before. I didn't expect them to become even worse now."
