Chapter 39: The Last Leaf

Early the next morning, Ye Chen had already gotten up and washed up, although he liked to sleep lazy, but if something really happened, Ye Chen still had a good sense of time.

At 6:40, Ye Chen came to school on time.

When he 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, Dong Yuqi is still so beautiful and lovely, maybe it's because I'm going to participate in the competition today, Dong Yuqi didn't wear a school uniform, but wore a goose yellow skirt, which was 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, what are you still wandering around, don't come over quickly. ”

Ye Chen walked a few steps quickly, and when Ye Chen came to Wang Kong, he found that there was a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle standing next to Wang Kong, this man Ye Chen knew, it was the principal of Qingshui High School.

"Okay, now that all the students are here, I will say a few words, everyone should pay attention to this competition, and getting a good ranking is very helpful for your college entrance examination, but you don't have to be pressured, just do your best. The principal finished with a smile, and then turned back to Wang Kong and said, "Teacher Wang, this time I will trouble you to take good care of the students." ”

Wang Kongchao 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 province are here, everyone must go all out and come to this point, I believe that no one is willing to give up easily, okay, I won't say much, it's not too early, everyone get in the car with me first." ”

There were not many students participating in the competition this time, there were only three people in total, in addition to Ye Chen and Dong Yuqi, there was also a girl who looked very quiet.

From this point of view, Qingshui High School deserves to be the best high school in Qingyang City, and Qingshui High School occupies three places in the top ten in the city.

Ye Chen followed Wang Kong to get into the car, and saw Dong Yuqi, who got in the car first, sitting alone on the two-person seat by the window of the bus listening to the song, Ye Chen walked straight towards Dong Yuqi, and then sat down next to Dong Yuqi.

Although Dong Yuqi was listening to the song, his attention was always on Ye Chen, and when he saw that Ye Chen was really sitting next to him, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his 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 glanced at Ye Chen, didn't speak, but his face turned a little red involuntarily, remembering that day he was forced by Ye Chen to agree to be Ye Chen's girlfriend temporarily, but he didn't expect Ye Chen's bastard to never appear in the classroom again in the next few days, Dong Yuqi was a little happy at first, at least Ye Chen wouldn't embarrass himself if he wasn't there, and then Dong Yuqi thought about it, after this bastard forced himself to temporarily agree to be his girlfriend, he immediately ignored it, and didn't take himself seriously at all, thinking about it, Dong Yuqi felt a little angry again.

With such a mentality, Dong Yuqi also deliberately ran to Wang Kong's office to ask, facing Wang Kong's meaningful eyes, Dong Yuqi at that time was almost deserted, although he kept saying to himself in his heart that he was a member of the disciplinary committee, and it was normal for some classmates to ask if they didn't come to class for a few days, but Dong Yuqi understood, but he just didn't want to admit it, it seemed that he really liked Ye Chen.

Ye Chen didn't know that Dong Yuqi had so many thoughts in his mind in an instant, seeing that Dong Yuqi blushed a little, Ye Chen was not too pressing, but changed the topic and said:

"What are you listening to?"

When Dong Yuqi heard this, he said lightly:

"It's a new song, sung by a female singer, and it's suddenly popular these days, it's very good. ”

"What song? I'll listen to it. After Ye Chen finished speaking, he quickly took down a headset from Dong Yuqi's ear and stuffed it into his ear, and after a while, Ye Chen looked at Dong Yuqi with a strange face.

Dong Yuqi saw Ye Chen looking at him without blinking, and his face was a little unnatural: "What's wrong?

Ye Chen's face became even more eccentric, looking at Dong Yuqi's confused look, Ye Chen smiled: "No, this song is very good, I think the person who wrote this song is simply a genius, are you right." ”

Dong Yuqi saw that Ye Chen also felt that the songs he listened to were good, and he was a little happy in his heart, but his face was still calm: "Well, the person who wrote this song is indeed a genius, and he has also written several other songs, "The Pain That Breathes" and "It's a pity it's not you." ”

Ye Chen's face is useful, can he not use it? These are all songs written by himself, Ye Chen didn't expect Dong Yuqi to actually listen to the songs he wrote, 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 he hadn't seen him for a few days, Ye Chen seemed to have changed again, this change Dong Yuqi was a little familiar, just like his father, he was always so confident and mature, for a while, Dong Yuqi was a little distracted.

Ye Chen saw Dong Yuqi looking at him in a daze, shook his hand in front of Dong Yuqi's eyes, and said with a smile: "What do you want? ”

Dong Yuqi's face turned red, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "No, it's nothing?"

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

Nothing to say all the way.

When the bus stopped, Wang Kong's voice also sounded, "Okay, classmates, we have arrived at the provincial library, it is now half past eight, nine o'clock officially starts, I repeat again, don't put too much pressure on yourself, but be calm, carefully review the questions, do your best, and after the exam, don't run around, the bus will stop here, come here directly, I will also wait for you here, if there is anything to find me, okay, everyone get off the bus 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, did not look back, and continued to walk towards the examination room

Ye Chen took the admission ticket in his hand, quickly found his own examination room, and sat in his seat, Ye Chen felt a little sleepy, after staying up late to three o'clock in the morning, he got up at six o'clock this morning, he was really a little sleepy.

After a while, the invigilator walked into the examination room with a sealed file bag, and without too much nonsense, he directly began to distribute the exam papers.

Ye Chen also got the exam paper and looked at the essay title, "Love is a very abstract thing, it is a feeling, it is an experience, it is the kind words of a person's heart, and it is also the manifestation of the correct behavior instructions issued by the brain; love is also a kind of power, it is the most beautiful language of human beings, love can create miracles, love can be a meter of sunshine, wind, air, smiling faces, satisfaction, and hope." Please choose your own perspective from the above materials, determine the idea, write your own title, and write an essay of no less than 800 words in any style.

Ye Chen, who read this material, was also stunned, maybe 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 very easy, but it's difficult to impress the judges in the process of reading, Ye Chen remembered that his Chinese teacher in his previous life once said that the simpler the proposition, the more difficult it is to write brilliantly.

Love is a very mysterious thing, it is everywhere, and it is all-encompassing, it can cross the long river of time, break free from the shackles of space, it can also be reflected in the bits and pieces of life, a word, an action, a voice and so on.

If you just want to write, it's easy to write anything, but if you want to write well, it's too difficult, the top liberal arts students in the province are gathered together, if you still want to write a simple thing like in the usual exams, a simple person, it will be too difficult to get a good ranking by this.

Ye Chen looked up and looked around, and sure enough, many candidates were frowning and thinking hard, presumably 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 was still a little confused, and it was normal to not be able to think of it, but Ye Chen was not in a hurry, the experience of being a human being in two lives told Ye Chen that being anxious never helped anything.

The time has reached the middle of April, the air is relatively humid, Ye Chen can clearly see the crystal clear dew on the emerald green leaves sitting by the window, and the window is also full of dense creepers, Ye Chen has a big heart, stretched out his hand to pick a leaf, pinched it with his fingernails, and immediately left a mark.

Ye Chen suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart, secretly annoying why he was picking a leaf in a good manner, leaves?

That's right, it's the leaves!

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Ye Chen couldn't help but show a smile, withdrew his gaze looking out of the window, picked up the pen and wrote a line on the test paper.

The Last Leaf

"In a neighborhood to the west of the Forbidden City Square, the streets seem to have gone berserk, dividing into small alleys called 'alleys', marked with very old ivy, tangled roots withered and clinging to the walls. The cold autumn wind had blown almost all the leaves off the vines, leaving only a few barely bare vine branches clinging to the loose and broken brick wall.

"Another piece dropped. No, I don't want to drink soup. There are only four left. I hope to see the last vine leaves float down before it gets dark. That's when I should have gone too. ”

"That was the last leaf. "I thought it was going to fall last night. I heard the wind. It's going to fall off today, and I'm going to die. ”

"That ivy leaf is still on the wall. ”

"Look out the window, my dear, and look at the last leaf on the wall that he painted on the wall that night when the last leaf fell. ”

Revisited it again in an alternative way, Ye Chen still had some feelings, O'Henry is worthy of being one of the world's three great short story masters in his previous life, with exquisite ideas and twists and turns in the plot, especially the reasonable and unexpected ending, which is amazing, and even has a proper noun in literature - O'Henry-style 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.

Collecting the pen and handing in the papers, Ye Chen Shi Shiran walked out of the examination room, looking at the candidates who were still burying their heads in the examination room, Ye Chen also felt a little emotional.

Once upon a time, I was also an inconspicuous member of this mass of candidates, and even these people couldn't compare, but fortunately, God treated me well, gave me a chance to be reborn, and also came with a system.

After all, my life is a little different.

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