Chapter 36 "The Last Leaf"

Early the next morning, Ye Chen had already woken up and washed up. Although he liked to sleep in, Ye Chen still had a good sense of time when something happened.

At [-]:[-], Ye Chen arrived at the school on time.

Just arrived at the school gate, Ye Chen saw the slim figure at the school gate at a glance, it was Dong Yuqi!

I haven't seen her for a few days, but Dong Yuqi is still so pretty. Maybe it's because she's going to participate in the competition today. Dong Yuqi didn't wear a school uniform, but a goose yellow skirt, which is very fresh and refined.

Wang Kong, who was standing beside Dong Yuqi, looked at Ye Chen still looking slow, and couldn't help shouting:

"Ye Chen, why are you still wandering around there, why don't you come here quickly."

Ye Chen only walked a few steps quickly. When Ye Chen came to Wang Kong, he found a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle standing beside Wang Kong. This man Ye Chen knew, and he was the principal of Qingshui High School.

"Okay, now that all the students are here, I will just say a few words. Everyone should pay attention to this competition. Getting a good ranking will be very helpful for your college entrance examination. Good." The principal finished speaking with a smile, and then turned back to Wang Kong and said, "Mr. Wang, this time I will trouble you to take good care of the students."

Wang Kong nodded to the principal, and then said to Ye Chen and the others: "This competition is held in the provincial library. It can be said that the top liberal arts students in the whole province are here. Everyone must go all out to get here. One step, I believe no one is willing to give up easily, well, I won't say much, it's getting late, everyone get in the car with me first."

There were not many students participating in the competition this time, there were only three of them, apart from Ye Chen and Dong Yuqi, there was also a girl who looked very quiet.

From this point of view, Qingshui High School is indeed the best high school in Qingyang City. Among the top ten in the city, Qingshui High School occupies three places.

Ye Chen followed Wang Kong into the car, and seeing Dong Yuqi who got on first was sitting alone on the two-seat seat by the window listening to music, Ye Chen walked straight towards Dong Yuqi, and then sat down next to Dong Yuqi.

Although Dong Yuqi was listening to the song, her attention was always on Ye Chen. Seeing that Ye Chen was sitting next to her, she felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart.

Ye Chen didn't care about this. After sitting down, he glanced at Dong Yuqi and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"

Dong Yuqi gave Ye Chen a blank look, didn't speak, but her face blushed a little involuntarily, remembering that day Ye Chen forced her to agree to be Ye Chen's girlfriend for the time being, but she didn't expect that bastard Ye Chen would never come again in the next few days. Having never appeared in the classroom, Dong Yuqi was a little happy at first, at least Ye Chen's absence would not embarrass herself, then Dong Yuqi thought about it, after this bastard forced herself to temporarily agree to be his girlfriend, she immediately ignored it and didn't care about it at all. Taking it seriously, Dong Yuqi felt a little angry again when she thought about it.

With such a mentality, Dong Yuqi went to Wang Kong's office to inquire. Facing Wang Kong's meaningful eyes, Dong Yuqi was about to run away at that time, even though she kept telling herself in her heart that she was a disciplinary committee member and had classmates It's normal for her to inquire without coming to class for a few days, but Dong Yuqi understands that she just doesn't want to admit that she really likes Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't know that so many thoughts popped up in Dong Yuqi's mind in an instant. Seeing Dong Yuqi blushing, Ye Chen didn't force him too much, but changed the subject and said:
"What song are you listening to?"

Dong Yuqi heard the words, and then said lightly:

"It's a new song, sung by a female singer. It has suddenly become popular these days. It's very nice."

"What song? Let me listen." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he quickly took an earphone from Dong Yuqi's ear and stuffed it into his own ear. After a while, Ye Chen looked at Dong Yuqi with a strange expression.

Seeing Ye Chen staring at her without blinking, Dong Yuqi said with an unnatural expression, "What's wrong? Doesn't it sound good?"

Ye Chen's face became even weirder. Looking at Dong Yuqi's confused face, Ye Chen smiled and said: "No, this song is very nice. I think the person who wrote this song is simply a genius. Are you right?"

Seeing that Ye Chen also felt that the song she listened to was good, Dong Yuqi said happily, but she still said calmly: "Well, the person who wrote this song is indeed a genius, and he also wrote several other songs, "I Can Breathe" Pain" and "It's a pity it's not you"."

Ye Chen looked like he was using it, can he not use it?These are all songs written by myself, and Ye Chen didn't expect Dong Yuqi to be listening to the songs written by herself. It seems that Zhao Qingwei should have succeeded this time.

Thinking of Zhao Qingwei, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

Dong Yuqi also noticed that Ye Chen seemed to have changed again after not seeing him for a few days. This change seemed familiar to Dong Yuqi, just like her own father, who was always so confident and mature. For a while, Dong Yuqi was a little lost in thought.

Seeing Dong Yuqi staring at him in a daze, Ye Chen waved his hand in front of Dong Yuqi's eyes, and said with a smile, "What are you thinking? You're so fascinated."

Dong Yuqi blushed, and said a little embarrassedly: "No, nothing?"

Ye Chen smiled, and didn't ask any more questions when he saw this.

Speechless all the way.

When the bus stopped, Wang Kong's voice also sounded, "Okay, students, we have arrived at the provincial library, it is now 08:30, and the official start at nine o'clock, I repeat, don't give yourself There is too much pressure, but you have to be calm, review the questions carefully, and try your best. Also, after the exam, don’t run around. The bus stops here. Come here directly when the time comes, and I will wait for you here. If you can find me for anything, well, everyone, get off the car and go to the examination room."

Ye Chen and Dong Yuqi walked at the back. As early as in the car, Ye Chen knew that he and Dong Yuqi were not in the same examination room. Looking at Dong Yuqi's back, Ye Chen said softly: "Come on!"

Dong Yuqi paused, without looking back, and continued walking towards the examination room.

Holding the admission ticket in his hand, Ye Chen quickly found his examination room and sat down in his seat. Ye Chen felt a little sleepy. After finishing the codewriting all night until three o'clock in the morning, he woke up at six o'clock this morning. I'm a little sleepy.

After a while, the invigilator walked into the examination room with a sealed file bag in his arms, and started distributing the examination papers without too much nonsense.

Ye Chen also got the test paper, and looked at the composition topic, "Love is a very abstract thing, a feeling, a kind of experience, a kind word of a person's heart, and the expression of correct behavior instructions issued by the brain; Love is also a kind of power, the most beautiful language of human beings, and love can create miracles; love can be a meter of sunshine, wind, air, smiling face, satisfaction, and hope. Please choose an angle from the above materials to determine the concept, Write a composition of no less than 800 words with a self-made title and any style.

After reading this material, Ye Chen was also taken aback. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of composition related to love is easy to write, but in fact this kind of composition is the most difficult to write, or the most difficult to write well.

It's like the same speech, everyone can read it, it's easy, but it's hard to impress the judges during the reading process, Ye Chen remembers that his Chinese teacher once said in his previous life, the simpler the The more difficult the proposition is to write brilliantly.

Love is a very mysterious thing, it is ubiquitous and omnipotent, it can cross the long river of time, break free from the shackles of space, and it can also be reflected in every bit of life, a word, an action, a sound and so on.

If you just want to write, you can write anything, but if you want to write well, it is too difficult. The top liberal arts students from all over the province are gathered together. If you still want to write a simple thing like an ordinary exam, It is too difficult for a simple person to get a good ranking by relying on this.

Ye Chen looked up and looked around, and sure enough, many candidates were frowning and thinking hard, presumably also worrying about what to write.

Ye Chen couldn't think of anything to write for a while, not to mention staying up until three o'clock last night, and now his head is still a little dazed, it's normal if he can't think of it, but Ye Chen is not in a hurry. Tell Ye Chen that being anxious never helps anything.

It's mid-April, and the air is relatively humid. Ye Chen can clearly see the crystal clear dewdrops on the emerald green leaves when sitting by the window, and there are dense creepers crawling around the window. Ye Chen is very playful , stretched out his hand to pick a leaf, pinched it with his nails, and immediately left a mark.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a little guilty, annoyed why he picked a leaf neatly, leaf?

Yes, it is the leaves!

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and Ye Chen couldn't help showing a smile, averted his gaze from the window, picked up a pen and wrote a line on the test paper.

"The Last Leaf"

"In a small district west of the Forbidden City Square, the streets seem to have gone mad and divided into many small alleys called 'alleys'. A very old ivy, with tangled roots that have withered, climbed half the wall The cold autumn winds have blown off almost all the leaves on the vines, leaving only a few almost bare branches clinging to the loose and incomplete brick wall.

"Another one fell. No, I don't want soup. Only four left. I hope to see the last vine leaves come down before dark. I should be there then."

"That's the last leaf." "I thought it must have fallen last night. I heard the wind blowing. It will fall off today, and I shall die at the same time."

"That ivy leaf is still on the wall."

"Look out of the window, dear, look at the last leaf on the wall. He drew it on the wall when the last leaf fell that night."

After rewatching it in an alternative way, Ye Chen still had some feelings. O. Henry was indeed one of the three great masters of short stories in the world in his previous life. His conception was exquisite and the plot was full of twists and turns, especially the reasonable and unexpected ending, which made people laugh. It’s so amazing that it even has a proper name in literature – O. Henry ending!
This "The Last Leaf" is one of the masterpieces of O'Henry's ending, but it will have to be called Ye Chen's ending in the future, Ye Chen thought maliciously.

After collecting the pen and handing in the paper, Ye Chen walked out of the examination room, looking at the examinees who were still buried in their heads and writing hard, Ye Chen also felt a little emotional.

Once upon a time, I was one of the inconspicuous candidates, even inferior to these people. Fortunately, God treated me well and gave me a chance to be reborn and a system as a gift.

My own life, after all, is a little different.

Next, give me a fulcrum, and I can move the whole earth!
