Chapter 360: 289 Fan Yuan's Ambition of a Swan Goose
Mei City Primary School Class 6 (2)'s classroom.
They were currently having Chinese class, discussing the text "Shi Ji: The House of Chen She."
In previous times, this was an ancient text that would only be studied in the ninth grade, but in more competitive times, everyone's learning pace had noticeably increased—a lot—, including the curriculum's progression.
"When Chen She was young, he once farmed for hire. Resting on the ridges of the field, he sighed deeply and said, 'If only I could be wealthy and noble, and not forget my origins.' The hirer laughed and responded, 'If you farm for hire, how could you become wealthy and noble?' Chen She sighed and said, 'Alas, how can sparrows and swallows understand the aspirations of a swan—'"
At this moment, at the back of the fourth group sat a boy.
He was idly gazing out the window at the sky.
Boys stepping into adolescence invariably harbor many sorrows and worries in their hearts, preoccupied with a myriad of thoughts.
Watching the free-flying birds outside the window, the boy's thoughts also wandered far away.
Ah, if only they could all turn into kind, generous, and understanding big sisters to stay by my side!
Even if it's the sort of demi-human like a Harpy, I would accept that!
As long as they are gentle to me, ehehe, ehehe...
Fan Yuan has always taken great care of various small animals since he was young.
When he encountered stray cats and dogs on the road, he would feed them.
He would treat the wounds of injured birds.
He would free butterflies wrapped in webs, allowing them to spread their wings and fly high once again.
It wasn't just because he was kind; he hoped that one day these creatures he had helped would turn into beautiful girls to repay him.
He knew the odds of this happening were slim, so he cast a wide net and would attend to any he came across.
One day, when I open my bedroom door, I'll see a big sister with white cat ears tenderly calling me master!
Ehehe, ehehe...
Just then, the furious voice of the Chinese teacher came from the front of the classroom:
"Fan Yuan, why are you daydreaming again during class! Stand up!"
Fan Yuan hastily stood up from his seat.
"It's clear that your thoughts have drifted far away... So, what is your great ambition? Can you share it with the class?"
"Ah..."
Fan Yuan wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and was about to respond when suddenly a voice came from a corner of the class.
"It's a big sister, you know!"
Some boy, imitating a voice, had said a word and the class immediately burst into laughter.
"Silence! Stop fooling around! Who was that, stand up!"
The Chinese teacher, tapping Fan Yuan's desk, then said, "Someone like you, without any great aspirations at such a young age, not knowing how to better himself, in this day and age, can't even become a sparrow, never mind a swan! Don't take youth for granted; it slips away with nothing to show for it!"
Fan Yuan was being scolded.
He felt a bit peeved inside.
Darn it, I hate menopausal old hags...
My grades suck, all because the teachers are no good.
If our homeroom teacher was as kind and pretty as the Lin teacher from the class next door, I could at least make it into the top twenty in our class!
However, Fan Yuan occasionally recalled his former self, filled with scholarly aspirations and grand plans.
The affection of big sisters was certainly his lifelong desire, but at the same time, his further goal was to become an outstanding elementary student!
Even Fan Yuan understood that only by becoming superior could he truly win a big sister's favor!
Originally, he did want to study hard.
But ever since he started watching borderline broadcasts with his dad, Fan Yuan gradually opened the door to a new world and became irretrievable, his mind filled with all kinds of lewd rubbish, unable to resist opening his phone each time he tried to study hard.
This streamer looks good, follow her.
This streamer is nice, tip her with Dad's phone!
Oh, Fan Yuan, Fan Yuan, how can you fall so low!
```
I'll study after watching one more streamer and turning off my phone.
Meanwhile, at another level, Fan Yuan became an impressive figure of note.
He received the nickname—God Yuan!
Fan Yuan, who was fiercely criticized by the homeroom teacher in class, didn't feel discouraged because his popularity wasn't low; as soon as class ended, a group of boys would surround him, discussing topics about big sisters.
"God Yuan, the streamers you recommended last time were really awesome. I love the cute and sweet younger sisters with baby faces and huge busts. Are there any more cute big sisters like them?"
"Such premium big sisters aren't that easy to find. The previous Luna Maruko was not bad, you can check her out."
"God Yuan, God Yuan! I want that cool, tall-legged sister style big sister. Got any new streamer recommendations recently?"
"Isn't that obvious? Just rush to support the newcomer, get her to call you 'Captain,' and she'll call you 'little brother' too!"
"Can I go on a voice chat if I become a 'Captain'? I want to voice chat with a big sister, what do I do?"
"No can do—it'll reveal that you're underage, and they hate that most, especially elementary school students, because they're afraid we'll ask for refunds." Fan Yuan earnestly said, "You should just keep these thoughts to yourself unless you, like me, can use bubble voice to fake a mature tone, like this—"
As Fan Yuan spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice, adding a bubbly quiver to it that made it sound like a coquettish puppy, "What to do, I really, really want a big sister..."
"Wow, how do you make the bubble voice? Teach me, God Yuan!"
"I want to learn that too! I'm sure a big sister will like me for it!"
"Right?—"
Fan Yuan achieved rich experiences and incredible success on the path to pursuing big sisters, and the boys in the class all admired him very much.
Under Fan Yuan's influence, a lot of the boys in class 2 liked to discuss the topic of big sisters; the girls their age not only felt nothing but often showed a lot of disdain.
Naturally, the disdain the girls in the class felt for them was even greater.
"How could the boys in our class be this low? They're thinking of being kept men at such a young age."
"I don't know either, sigh, it's really maddening to compare people. The class next door has such a level of handsome guy, while the boys in our class, apart from being nerds, are just perverts; it's really boring..."
"Sigh, isn't that the truth..."
Although Luo Xianyu didn't join in the girls' discussions, when they started to envy the class next door for having Fang You, our Luo Xianyu also felt vicariously honored.
Meanwhile, just as Fan Yuan continued to explore the path of the big sister with the boys in class, he was suddenly interrupted by a classmate.
"God Yuan, someone from the next class is looking for you!"
"Looking for me? It must be someone asking about my big brother again..."
Fan Yuan was known for bragging everywhere that he grew up with Fang You as his little brother.
They indeed occasionally saw Fang You talking to Fan Yuan, so in the eyes of some girls who weren't clear about the situation, Fan Yuan was one of the few male acquaintances of Emperor Youyou.
Here, if you say friends it's naturally unbelievable, but being his little brother, no one had any objections; after all, even from kindergarten photos, you could clearly see the hierarchical relationship between the two, and in the Martial Arts Hall's group photos, you could spot Fan Yuan and Fang You together.
The moment Fan Yuan started talking about Fang You, he began to show off, flicking his hair deliberately:
"Ah, I've said it so many times, didn't you tell her my big brother is already taken so she should give up?"
"No... it's your big brother who's looking for you this time!"
"Ah... No way, really?"
"No way!"
Just as shocked as Fan Yuan was the neighboring Luo Xianyu, who had been sprawling on the desk in power-saving mode. Upon hearing the news, she immediately stood up in a huff:
"He's not here to look for me!"
By this time, Fang You had arrived at the entrance of class 2, calling the somewhat anxious Fan Yuan out.
For so many years, his big brother had always had a 'keep out' attitude, and this was the first time he took the initiative to call him out.
"Ah, big brother, long time no see, you look even cooler today! Totally amazing! If I were a girl, I'd definitely cling to you even more than my sister-in-law..."
Fan Yuan greeted Fang You with a chuckle and hand-rubbing, but Fang You remained indifferent, which made Fan Yuan rather nervous.
"Bi-Big brother, what's the matter? Just tell me straight."
"I came to confirm something with you today."
Fang You slightly raised his eyebrows, "Have you been going around telling people in front of others lately, that I'm your big brother?"
