Chapter 249: Chapter 248 I’m Not Transferring Schools!

Seeing her daughter’s innocent gaze, Mrs. Zhen’s voice lowered, filled with worries, she said, "It’s not as simple as you think! The thief entered in the middle of the night, he wasn’t just after money..." Zhen Yu: "..."

Although she didn’t want to admit it, she understood immediately...

The mother and daughter each had their thoughts, and the living room suddenly became quiet.

After a few seconds, Zhen Yu comforted her mother: "Don’t think about it, Mom! Everyone has their fate! We don’t even know them, it has nothing to do with us, why worry so much?"

"How can it be unrelated! Where will you live after the Tomb-Sweeping Festival!" Mrs. Zhen scolded, then sighed, "Ah... we sold the house too early!"

"Why talk about that! It’s already been sold!" Zhen Yu didn’t feel it was too early at all.

"Xiao Yu! You said now we need to transfer you to a middle school in Qi City, how long will it take to handle that? Will it affect your classes?"

"Ah???!" Zhen Yu was stunned, then firmly said, "I’m not transferring schools! Mom! It’s just a small matter and you want to transfer schools! Don’t forget I know martial arts!"

"What’s the use of martial arts!? Huh?" Mrs. Zhen scolded angrily: "I heard in that one dormitory there are eight people! Whoever doesn’t fear death and resists, he just takes another girl hostage to threaten, what would you do then?"

"What can I do? Just deal with it!" Zhen Yu casually joked, "If I can save them, I will save! If I can’t, I can’t risk myself! I’m not foolish enough to sacrifice myself for others!"

Hearing her daughter talk like this, Mrs. Zhen was very satisfied.

But it was exactly because of this, that she worried even more! Thus, Mrs. Zhen spilled all the details she had gathered to her daughter.

"I heard only one escaped the calamity! That family’s house nearly got all seven other families burnt down! Everyone cursed that girl for being heartless, indifferent to others’ death! Even though no harm came to them at the moment, probably now she’s being driven mad by those seven families! They even always say ’parents’ hearts are all the same’! Bullshit! Their own family suffers, and they just can’t stand to see others well! What kind of filthy souls are they! And they still dare to seek sympathy! Despicable might be more like it! They expect everyone to feel sorry for them, yet they should also show some sympathy to others!"

Wow! Seven...

Well! Her focus might be a little off...

Mrs. Zhen still rambled on, Zhen Yu quickly shifted her attention back to the matter at hand!

——

When her mother was almost done complaining, Zhen Yu quickly interrupted, "Mom! With such a big incident, they will definitely increase security! You can rest assured!"

"I’m not reassured!" Mrs. Zhen rolled her eyes, "Just that shabby building of Siying! What good can heightened security do?!"

Mrs. Zhen’s words were too sharp, deeply affecting Zhen Yu.

She felt devastated...

"So what do you suggest we do? Anyway, I’m not transferring schools!" Zhen Yu thought for a moment, "Or, could you rent a place for me?"

"I rent your uncle! If I rented it, could you even live there alone?!"

"Yes." Unfortunately, Zhen Yu only dared to answer this in her mind, scared of her mother hitting her if she spoke out loud!

"This won’t work, that won’t work! I might as well just sleep on the street." Zhen Yu rolled her eyes, giving up.

Anyway, as long as she insists on not transferring schools, her mother would have to listen to her eventually! Not staying in the dorm, what else could she do, fly...

Mrs. Zhen smacked her lips, unable to do anything about her daughter not wanting to transfer schools.

But staying in the dormitory was absolutely not an option! Fortunately, there’s still over a week before handing over the house, she’ll slowly persuade her...

Mother and daughter each had their plans, ending the conversation here.

——

As Mrs. Zhen expected, after a weekend of festering, by Monday the entire Siying School was buzzing with this major news.

As the weather warmed up, physical education classes also resumed. Right after flag-raising at the big interval, the school held an impromptu meeting, seemingly aimed at calming the boarding students.

"Don’t panic, everyone! Trust the government and the school! I have received notification that the town has decided to allocate funds to all schools! To enhance campus security..."

The principal, standing under the national flag with a loudspeaker in hand, spoke at ease, his voice low as if he was merely discussing a trivial matter.

But Zhen Yu noticed that the students around her gradually quieted down during his explanation.

Their restlessness subsided, becoming much calmer.

Suddenly, Zhen Yu found herself envying these naïve young boys and girls. To be young is wonderful! Ignorance is bliss!

Although this was just an isolated incident, one cannot deny that Siying School from the ’90s was indeed backward and rundown.

The school walls were so low that elementary students could jump over them by stacking two bricks, and there were no access controls for both the main gate and the dormitories.

Not to mention comparing it to universities after the 20th century, even against Qi City No.1 High School, it was like night and day!

So even though all the windows in the dorm will soon have security bars installed, Siying School still feels quite unsafe...

Thinking this, Zhen Yu suddenly wondered if her mentality was getting too old? Facing a situation, she tended to overthink!

Where had her boldness from her previous life gone? Before she could dwell on it further, the meeting dispersed...

Han Mingyue immediately grabbed her, who had just snapped back to reality, "Let’s go! Let’s find a place to talk."

"Huh?" Zhen Yu was confused but got dragged by him to their last conversation spot, both standing against the wind.

---

Zhen Yu started the conversation cheerfully, "What’s the matter? You’re being so secretive!"

Han Mingyue responded with a question instead, "What are your plans?"

"What plans?" She felt as if they were talking past each other.

Han Mingyue felt the same and simply asked directly, "Where are you going to stay after the Tomb-Sweeping Festival?"

Zhen Yu blinked, "Naturally, I’ll stay at the dorm!"

"No way!" Han Mingyue flatly refused, "The dorm is not safe!"

Hey! This guy is even older in mentality than she is!

She only thought it was ’not very safe’! Meanwhile, he didn’t take the principal’s words to heart at all!

She couldn’t let herself slip up. Hold steady! Zhen Yu argued logically, "The principal just said that security would be strengthened..."

She was cut off midway by Han Mingyue, "It’s certain they’ll enhance it! But nothing is absolute, I absolutely disagree with you staying in the dorms!"

"So, just because you disagree, I should not stay? Aren’t you being too controlling? Do you think I would listen to you?"

Zhen Yu questioned inwardly with a triple combo!

Three seconds later, she muttered softly, "Everyone’s stopping me from staying in the dorms! If not there, where should I stay? I definitely don’t want to transfer schools..."

"..." Han Mingyue was slightly infuriated! It seemed that she didn’t take his previous invitation seriously at all!

Wait, she just mentioned ’transferring schools’...

He can’t let her transfer schools! Han Mingyue’s brain made a snap decision, forgetting to be tactful, "Xiao Yu, come stay at my place! You can have my room!"

"..."

It seemed she had already told him last time that Mrs. Zhen wouldn’t agree...
