Meng Yan's Transformation

Chapter 605 Zhan Yue's Hesitation

Zhan Yingying couldn't help but laugh. In the night, the two sisters walked hand in hand, their steps light and quick as they headed home. What seemed like a small act of helping someone out of a tight spot was actually a tacit understanding and a protective bond that needed no words.

"Yingying, let's go to Auntie's house and see if she's feeling any better. We'll also ask if Sister Yue'er can go to school tomorrow."

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she pulled Zhan Yingying and they changed course to her third aunt's house.

The two arrived at their third aunt's house and saw that she was in much better spirits than yesterday, her face no longer pale. Zhan Yue was packing her clothes.

"Third Aunt, you're all better! You look much more energetic than yesterday! Now that you're better, Sister Zhanyue, can you go back to school?!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she grabbed Zhan Yue's hand and jumped up like a child.

"Yes, yes, I feel much better. I was just trying to persuade your sister Yue'er to go to school tomorrow. She's still a little reluctant. You two came at the right time. Please help me persuade Zhan Yue and let her go to school with peace of mind. Look at my arms and legs, I have strength again."

When my third aunt was speaking, she deliberately stretched out her arm in front of everyone to prove that she had recovered.

"That's great! That's great!"

As Zhan Mengyan spoke, she clapped her hands with joy and jumped up again.

Zhan Mengyan felt her long-held hope had finally come true. This meant that she and Zhan Yue could not only walk to school together, but also share all their experiences and secrets on campus. However, this pure joy didn't last long. Zhan Mengyan soon noticed the hesitation on her cousin Zhan Yue's face. She softly told Zhan Mengyan about her lingering worry: her mother's illness might relapse. This thought, like a persistent cloud, made her hesitate about whether to continue attending school.

Cousin Zhan Yue's worries were not unfounded. Her aunt's health was her deepest concern. She worried that after she left home to study, there would be no one to take good care of her mother. She was afraid that if her mother's condition worsened, she would regret not being there for her. This sense of responsibility to her family and her inner desire to study were intertwined, putting Zhan Yue in a dilemma. On the one hand, Zhan Yue longed to seize the opportunity to study and work hard as before; on the other hand, the reality of her family situation made it difficult for her to take this step with peace of mind.

Zhan Mengyan understood Zhan Yue's struggle and the weight of this familial bond. Looking at Zhan Yue's furrowed brow, Zhan Mengyan's initial joy gradually subsided into a complex emotion. She hoped Zhan Yue could set aside her concerns and begin school life with her, yet she also deeply admired Zhan Yue's profound love and responsibility towards her mother. Ultimately, they decided to honestly discuss their concerns with their family and work together to find a solution—a comprehensive plan that would ensure their aunt's health while preventing their cousin's studies from being interrupted. This decision-making process was far more profound than simple cheers and jumps; it represented a balance between the responsibilities of growing up and familial love.

"Sister Yue'er, you can go to school with Sister Mengyan without worry. I will try to visit Auntie every three days. If I find that Auntie is unwell, I will immediately ask someone or go to the school to find you myself."

As Zhan Yingying spoke, she saw Zhan Yue's hesitant expression and Zhan Mengyan's urgent persuasion, anxiously waiting for Zhan Yue's decision. Zhan Yingying also felt anxious.
