My subject turned into a beautiful girl

An Yi and Wang Xinze became good friends because they shared a large portion of the same route from their homes to school. Whether by bus or bike, they would travel together and get along very well. Over time, they naturally became close friends.

Of course, both of them expressed their dissatisfaction and regret about the matter, feeling that it would have been better if the other person had been a girl.

Imagine this: a morning breeze stirs, golden osmanthus blossoms fall, and sunlight is filtered through the leaves, creating beams of light. A boy and a girl on bicycles exchange glances out of the corner of their eyes, light and shadow shifting as they pass through each other's vision. In this moment, even time seems to stand still…

Such a beautiful youth romance novel unfolds in a setting where the participants are actually two men!

Who wouldn't regret it if they were replaced?

As the typhoon passed through, although it only grazed the typhoon, torrential rain still came from time to time, so it seems they will have to take the bus tonight.

From the classroom to the school gate and then to the bus stop, a route that would normally be perfect for chatting, bragging, and playful banter, the two of them were unusually silent.

This silence continued until they boarded the No. 1 bus and sat down on the second floor... In the end, his inability to contain his curiosity overcame his so-called male pride, and Wang Xinze, rather than giving An Yi the chance to show off, couldn't help but speak up.

"Damn it, what's going on? Tell me the whole story! You weren't telling the truth before, were you?"

An Yi sighed, feigning sadness, "Alas, I wanted to live among you as an ordinary person, but the situation has brought me to this point, and I have no choice! From now on, please call me the Academic God..."

"So it really wasn't your older brother who gave you the answers and told you to memorize them beforehand?"

Wang Xinze chose not to believe An Yi's nonsense at all, and said suspiciously, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that your past achievements are hard to believe!"

"Did you understand what I was saying?" An Yi asked back.

"no."

"That settles it!"

An Yi rolled her eyes. "Do you think I could memorize such a long answer if I didn't understand it? Besides, quite a few people asked questions in the middle, and I answered them all, okay?"

"I know, but it still doesn't make sense!"

Wang Xinze held his head, his eyes wide with disbelief. "You scored two points lower than me in math during the monthly exam, and it's only been a few days?"

In fact, this change only took one evening study session... An Yi thought to himself.

Of course, he didn't say it aloud, otherwise, if he provoked his good brother too much, it might lead to retaliation later and be punished by the organization.

"Calm down, calm down, I had no choice..."

An Yi repeated the crab boss's requirements, scratched his head, and activated his passive skill "Talking Nonsense".

"Perhaps the pressure from this matter was too great, which led to an unintentional breakthrough in my Ren and Du meridians. In addition, the 'Burning Technique' kindly taught by my elder brother was particularly suitable, so I suddenly broke through my cultivation level!"

"To break through from the realm of a slacker to the realm of a top student in one go? There is such an awesome technique?" Wang Xinze's eyes lit up.

"The key isn't the cultivation technique; the key is opening up the Ren and Du meridians!"

An Yi's face darkened. "There are so many Heavenly Rank cultivation techniques. Without the aptitude, you can't even understand them, let alone cultivate them!"

"Get lost!" Wang Xinze was so annoyed by his insults that he could only push up his glasses with both middle fingers at the same time.

"But honestly, your poor grades aren't a matter of aptitude, are they?"

An Yi continued irritably, "With your family's wealth, you can't even afford to pay off the interest every day, so what's the point of studying hard?"

"Hmm, that sounds more like a human statement."

Wang Xinze commented, then changed the subject, "But you don't understand, people need to have dreams and aspirations! What's the point of just lying around eating, drinking, and having fun every day? A future you can see the end of the road is no different from being a salted fish!"

"So you really want to start your own business?"

An Yi's eyes widened. "No way! Many rich kids fall from grace precisely because they lack ambition!"

"So it's still just a dream, not something we're actually doing... It's just something to think about, we can't just not give it to them, can we?"

Wang Xinze said slowly, "If we really want to do this, there's a lot of preparatory work to do. Most importantly, I don't want to follow in my dad's footsteps; those businesses are boring. I think if we're going to do something, it has to be interesting and profitable… High-tech is a great option; it can improve people's lives!"

"This doesn't sound like something that's just 'thinking' about."

An Yi looked puzzled. "They've even decided on the direction!"

"Compared to the whole host of things you need to consider when actually starting a business, this is really just wishful thinking."

Wang Xinze waved his hand, then suddenly asked, "Hey, what about you?"

"I?"

"Yeah, do you have any dreams?"

"Me..."

An Yi thought for a moment, "Does being Iron Man count?"

"It's a dream, not just a fantasy!"

Wang Xinze rolled his eyes, then said seriously, "It's the kind of thing you really want to do, are willing to do, have the opportunity to achieve, and would feel a great sense of accomplishment if you did."

"Okay, okay, my dream..."

An Yi paused, momentarily at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

The word "dream" is very common, but perhaps precisely because it is so common, An Yi has never seriously thought about what her dream is.

Thinking about it carefully, all he could think of was something his parents often said: "Study hard, get into a good university, and find a good job in the future"... but for him, that was actually a very vague thing.

How hard should I work? Which university is considered a good university? What kind of job can be considered a good job?

Therefore, this statement is not even a clear goal, let alone a dream.

Just then, a blinding light flashed past the corner of his eye, attracting An Yi's attention. He subconsciously looked out the window.

The view from the upper deck of the bus was excellent, offering a panoramic view of the entire street. A light mist lingered in the drizzle, the city's reflection shimmering in the splashing droplets. Cars of various colors converged from all directions, their headlights forming a stream of light…

In the stream of light, the Audi with its high beams on finally realized it had to switch to low beam mode after being flashed by other cars.

An Yi watched this scene quietly. So many years had passed without him realizing it. He could recognize the car logos and no longer found the light dazzling.

But some things can remain unchanged.

Although over the years he had felt that goal was so arrogant, ignorant and ridiculous to him, he chose to bury it in his heart as a dark history.

But after so many years, on this night, at this very moment, he finally has the strength and courage to wield the shovel, dig it out, and display it openly and honestly.

"Dreams seem a bit too far away for me right now; I need to think about them more."

An Yi smiled and said calmly.

"Let's set a short-term goal first: get into Tsinghua or Peking University."
