Chapter 295 Extra 11 (Yan Shen)

The first time Yan Shen knew Wang Shan’s name was from Zhu Jun, a well-known bully in the community.

At that time, Yan Shen was still a short and skinny little kid, and was often bullied by the strong Zhu Jun.

After being bullied so many times, Yan's father and mother went to find Zhu Jun's parents to argue.

But when the scholar met the soldiers, he couldn’t explain his reason clearly.

In front of Zhu Jun's unreasonable grandmother, Yan's father and mother had no way to seek justice for their son and could only warn their son to stay away from Zhu Jun.

During the break, Yan Shen was sitting in the classroom reading an extracurricular book. His friend ran over excitedly and told him, "Yan Shen, Zhu Jun was beaten and is bleeding!"

"Is it true?" Yan Shen was a little unconvinced.

Zhu Jun is strong and powerful. Who can beat him until he bleeds?

"Of course it's true! I saw it with my own eyes on the playground." The friend was also bullied by Zhu Jun. He said bitterly: "Finally someone avenged us!"

"Who is so powerful?" Yan Shen was a little curious.

"It was a female classmate in their class. Zhu Jun seemed to have robbed her things and gave her a nickname, and then he was beaten." The little friend said with glee.

"Girl?" Yan Shen was also shocked.

He couldn't help but imagine that the girl must be tall and strong, like a strongman, only she could beat Zhu Jun without any chance of fighting back.

"Yes, but they were both called to the teacher's office, and their parents will definitely be called in. If Zhu Jun's grandmother comes, that brave heroine will definitely be scolded and cry." The little friend was a little worried. In his mind, Zhu Jun's grandmother was a monster that even Ultraman could not defeat.

Yan Shen also felt the same way. His own parents couldn't do anything about Zhu Jun's grandmother, so the same should be true for that girl.

Just as I thought of this, the bell for class rang.

The classmate ran back to his seat. Yan Shen clenched his fists. He decided to go to the office after class to secretly take a look at the female classmate.

After class, when he rushed to the office with his math exercise book, he saw a thin girl standing in front of the teacher, crying with her head down.

She was not as tall and strong as imagined, but rather looked petite and pitiful.

Just then, Zhu Jun's grandmother rushed in angrily, pointing at the girl and cursing.

The girl was a little scared, but she still raised her head and answered bravely: "It was Zhu Jun who stole my things first and gave me a nickname!"

Zhu Jun's grandmother became even more annoyed when she saw this. "Look at you, little girl. You beat someone until he bled, and you still think you're not wrong, right? Call your parents over. I want to see what they say!"

However, Wang Shan was not afraid at all. She stood up straight and said, "You can't be unreasonable! I am not wrong!"

The other teachers in the office gathered around and after understanding what had happened, they pulled Zhu Jun's grandmother aside to sit down.

In the end, under pressure from everyone, Zhu Jun's grandmother reluctantly hugged Zhu Jun and sat aside, glaring at Wang Shan fiercely.

Yan Shen thought this girl was so brave!

Grandma Zhu Jun was not afraid at all when faced with the unreasonable behavior.

He really wanted to walk over and hand the crying girl a tissue, but the math teacher came over immediately after seeing him.

He could only pick up the math exercise book and ask the teacher for help.

The teacher quickly explained the question to him, and Yan Shen could only take the book back to the classroom.

Later, I heard that the girl's father came.

Her father is very powerful and he directly made Zhu Jun’s grandmother lose face.

The next day, the friend secretly told Yan Shen that after school yesterday, Zhu Jun's grandmother took Zhu Jun home dejectedly. Zhu Jun's nose was stuffed with toilet paper, and there was blood on the toilet paper.

Yan Shen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help but clapping his hands.

That’s great! Finally someone can take care of these arrogant grandparents and grandchildren!

"Do you know the name of that heroine?" Yan Shen asked.

"I don't know." The friend shook his head, "But I can secretly ask the classmates in their class."

As a result, before his friends could ask, Zhu Jun said it himself.

He told everyone: "I'm not afraid of Wang Shan, it's just that her father is a gangster who can beat someone to death with one punch. It's too scary."

It turns out her name is Wang Shan!

Yan Shen silently memorized the name.

From that day on, Yan Shen paid more attention to Wang Shan. Every time he met Wang Shan on campus, he would observe her quietly.

He found that Wang Shan was not only brave, but also had good grades and was always among the best.

Yan Shen secretly made up his mind to learn from Wang Shan and become a better person.

So he studied hard and actively participated in various activities, hoping to attract Wang Shan's attention.

But Wang Shan didn't seem to notice herself at all. She didn't play with other students much at school, and she would just sit in her seat and write and draw after class.

As he grew older, Yan Shen grew from a small bean sprout into a young poplar. No classmates dared to bully him anymore, and he slowly withdrew his attention from Wang Shan.

However, during the summer vacation of his third grade, Yan Shen met Wang Shan again.

This time it was by the lotus pond in the park.

Yan Shen was strolling in the park with his cousin. When they reached the lotus pond, his cousin refused to walk because the sun was too strong. Yan Shen had no choice but to take her to sit in the pavilion beside the lotus pond.

Yan Shen walked into the pavilion and immediately spotted Wang Shan, who was sitting not far away and concentrating on painting under the scorching sun.

Yan Shen looked at Wang Shan in the sunlight; her focused expression deeply attracted him.

He involuntarily walked closer, wanting to see what she was drawing.

Wang Shan didn't seem to notice Yan Shen's approach and was still immersed in her own painting world.

Yan Shen stood aside and admired it quietly. The picture showed a blooming lotus, which looked lifelike.

"So beautiful." Yan Shen exclaimed sincerely.

Wang Shan looked up at him, smiled and said, "Thank you."

After saying that, she lowered her head and continued to paint, as if there was no one or anything around her that could affect her concentration.

Yan Shen stood there for a long time before returning to the pavilion when his cousin called him.

But his attention was still attracted by the thin figure.

Not long after, he found a middle-aged man standing behind Wang Shan, giving her instructions from time to time.

Then two more old men walked over.

Several people were talking about something, then Wang Shan stood up, argued angrily with the middle-aged man for a few words, and left with the two old men.

Yan Shen couldn't help but sigh: She seemed really fearless and dared to argue with strangers.

She is indeed the heroine he has chosen!

After school started, Yan Shen heard from classmates in the next class that Wang Shan seemed to have been spotted by a very good painter, and she had to go to the university every week to learn painting from that painter.

Yan Shen looked at the name on the school's honor roll. He couldn't help but admire this smart girl. She was able to study and paint at the same time, and she was able to do both well. It was really amazing.

After graduating from elementary school, Yan Shen and Wang Shan were admitted to different junior high schools and had almost no interactions.

But in the second semester of the first year of junior high school, a fight broke out at Wang Shan’s middle school, exposing the campus bullying incident hidden in the dark corners of the campus directly to the sun, shocking the entire city of Pengcheng.

Then a storm swept across the entire education sector in Pengcheng.

All schools have begun to pay attention to the problem of campus bullying. The incident also spread to Yan Shen's school. In his speech after the flag-raising ceremony, the principal emphasized the problem of campus violence and announced the establishment of an anti-campus bullying team. Yan Shen was the first to sign up, and he wanted to use his strength to protect his weak classmates.

Afterwards, Yan Shen learned from his elementary school classmates that the storm was caused by Wang Shan standing up for her classmates who were being bullied.

Yan Shen once again recalled the heroic deeds of this heroine from childhood to adulthood, and couldn't help but be full of admiration and respect for her.

He secretly hoped that perhaps one day in the future he would be able to hear about her even more heroic deeds.

I didn't expect that the day of goodbye would come so soon.

On the first day of high school, he recognized Wang Shan at a glance in the classroom.

She grew taller and thinner, like a willow branch. Her face, without the baby fat, looked like a peeled egg. Her eyes were still clear, but she was very quiet.

Yan Shen was extremely surprised. He didn't expect to be in the same class as Wang Shan.

He walked towards Wang Shan and mustered up the courage to say hello: "Hi, Wang Shan, long time no see! Do you remember me?"

Wang Shan raised her head and looked at the boy who looked like a little poplar in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Yan Shen felt a little disappointed, but he quickly introduced himself: "I'm Yan Shen. When we were young, we lived in the same elementary school, but I was in Class 3 and you were in Class 1."

Wang Shan suddenly understood and nodded: "Oh, hello."

After a brief greeting, the two returned to their seats. Yan Shen secretly made up his mind to become friends with Wang Shan.

In the following days, Yan Shen always tried to find opportunities to get close to Wang Shan, but Wang Shan rarely interacted with other classmates except Huang Xinxin.

In addition, at this age, interactions between men and women are likely to attract criticism, so Yan Shen could only give up with regret.

After entering high school, especially in Class Zero, almost all students put all their attention on studying, and everyone was competing secretly.

As a favorite student of the physics teacher, Yan Shen was directly selected by the school as a competition student and received individual tutoring after class along with several other students.

Wang Shan did not give up her art. In addition to her intensive studies, she still insisted on studying with the painter every week, and went out to sketch during various holidays.

So, although the two were in the same class, their relationship remained the same as before, with almost no progress.

It was not until the first semester of senior year that Yan Shen was successfully admitted to Tsinghua University with the first prize in the National Physics Competition and the honor of entering the national training team. The two of them gradually had more interactions.

Unlike other students who were admitted without taking the entrance exam, he did not leave high school to study in college or study at home. Instead, he still carried his schoolbag and sat in the classroom every day, rain or shine.

After the first mock exam, it is customary to re-select seats.

Because Wang Shan was studying art, she was temporarily lagging behind in mathematics and physics, so the teacher deliberately arranged her to sit on the right side of the podium.

Upon seeing this, Yan Shen took the initiative to find the head teacher and applied to sit on the left side of the podium, under the pretext of better managing the class affairs.

After Yan Shen’s repeated requests, the head teacher agreed.

Separated by a podium, Yan Shen and Wang Shan gradually began to communicate more frequently.

On the first day of the winter vacation of senior year, Yan Shen took the initiative to offer to help Wang Shan with physics. His eyes were full of enthusiasm and sincerity.

Wang Shan was focused at the time and only wanted to catch up on her physics and mathematics, so she nodded in agreement.

That afternoon, the two of them came to Lakeside Academy together, found a quiet place, and Yan Shen began to carefully explain physics knowledge.

He explained complex concepts in simple, easy-to-understand language and gave examples from time to time to help Wang Shan better understand.

As time went by, the tutoring location changed from a bookstore to Wang Shan's home.

Yan Shen patiently answered all the questions Wang Shan had, gave her positive feedback and encouragement, and shared some tips and methods for learning physics.

Throughout the holiday, Yan Shen’s help enabled Wang Shan to have a deeper understanding of physics and also strengthened her confidence in learning.

Their interactions were full of friendliness and mutual help. This time not only helped Wang Shan make progress in physics, but also deepened their friendship.

Yan Shen also knew that there was a senior from the Department of Mathematics at Capital University who was tutoring Wang Shan in mathematics.

Perhaps it was the inexplicable desire to win among boys. Although Yan Shen had never met any of the seniors, he couldn't help but secretly compete with them in his heart, hoping that Wang Shan would make greater progress in physics than in mathematics.

After the holiday, Wang Shan gave herself a painting. In the sunshine, when she handed the painting to him with a smile on her face, the strands of hair on both sides of her cheeks were blown up by the wind, and she seemed to be glowing.

He felt as if his heart was sinking.

It turns out that in the process of getting along with each other unconsciously, feelings arise and grow deep.

He wanted to tell her, but reason held him back. At this critical moment, her future was more important.

Especially since she had achieved very good results in both the art exam and the school exam, she should not act rashly.

So he hid his feelings quietly in his heart, but they were still discovered by his class teacher.

He repeatedly assured the head teacher that it would not affect her studies.

Fortunately, the head teacher believed in him, so he was able to accompany her through the last stage of her senior year and sent her to the examination hall.

Then the two naturally became alumni and became freshmen in Tsinghua University at the end of August.

He was secretly delighted in his heart, because from this moment on, he no longer needed to hide the desire and intention for her in his heart. Therefore, whenever he had the chance, he would always be eager to appear by her side, and deliberately let everyone around him see clearly that he wanted to protect her.

Whether it is by the sunny playground in the early morning, in the crowded cafeteria in the afternoon, or by the quiet and beautiful campus lake at dusk, he can always be seen standing there early waiting for her to appear. And when they walked side by side, it seemed as if the whole world only contained the two of them; he declared to the world with a firm and gentle look: "She belongs to me"!

This behavior may be a little childish, but it contains endless sincere emotions and is so touching...

Wang Shan was moved by him, and he finally got the heroine.
