No matter how beautiful the memories are, they are just memories after all.
Looking at the familiar things around him, Ye Chen took a few deep breaths and murmured to himself: "Although the illusion is fake, the feeling is real!"
Turning around and sitting back down, Ye Chen smiled broadly at Fatty Lin Jun and said, "That's natural. My father's departure will only create motivation for me!"
"That's good, let's review quickly. There will be a small test later! I hope I can do better this time!" After saying that, Lin Jun immersed himself in the sea of questions.
The old electric fan was still whirring, and its weak wind blew the exam papers on the table. Looking at these exam papers, Ye Chen smiled with relief and plunged into the sea of questions.
Even though he knew it was an illusion, Ye Chen still devoted himself wholeheartedly to it. Everything he had experienced before was like a movie drama replayed on the screen, playing out one by one.
During his free time in the senior year of high school, he occasionally went out to party with friends, and when he returned home on weekends, he occasionally helped his mother with housework. Although his life was dull, it made Ye Chen feel warm.
Nervousness and anticipation during the college entrance examination. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen had arrived at the college entrance examination. Standing in the bustling sea of people, Ye Chen's expression was like those of the candidates, nervous and expectant.
After bidding farewell to his mother, Ye Chen resolutely stepped into the examination room. He waited nervously before the examination. It was not until the examination papers were divided that Ye Chen devoted himself to the examination papers.
Three days in a row, these three days are just ordinary three days for ordinary people, but for the candidates, they are three fateful days. When he walked out of the examination room on the third day, Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
.
At this time, the fantasy seems to have become reality, and reality has become a dream.
After the last subject exam was completed, the entire campus returned to its usual laughter, and everyone couldn't wait to report the exam results to their parents.
Under the setting sun, the dormitory building is like a branch swaying in the wind, lying in the afterglow as always.
Ye Chen stood downstairs in the dormitory, looking at the clock tower at the top of the dormitory building, with a hint of reminiscence in the corner of his eyes. The bell tower would ring like a maniac every morning at five o'clock in the morning. How many people said that they would smash it?
The bell tower, on the other hand, still stands proudly today. The bell tower is like a guard, sending away so many children with complex emotions and ushering in so many simple and innocent children, year after year, over and over again.
The parents came from outside in a hurry, making constant noises. The black-smelling cars blocked the old iron gate like a maniac, making constant noises. The worn-out books also poured out from the back window of the dormitory building like a shower, scattering all over the place.
The floor was followed by several frivolous laughter. The aunt sweeping the floor dragged the sack and took the trouble to pick up books, and there were several bags of books piled up in the corner.
After three years of youth, a bag of money was finally exchanged for a bag of books. However, the bag of books was sold as waste paper but I couldn't even afford a sack.
Ye Chen looked at the door in confusion, shook his head slightly, and walked toward his dormitory, leaning on the rusty escalator.
The friendship between classmates who had been together for three years was about to end, and everyone in the dormitory was silent.
Usually on the night of graduation, the class will hold a breakup party, and this year is no exception. After all, countless people got drunk on this night, drank for the first time, howled like a wolf for the first time, cried for the first time...
The dark night swallows up the sunset silently, covering the earth with a mysterious black veil.
Dark clouds filled the sky, blocking the starlight. The entire sky looked extremely oppressive, like a ferocious devil.
Compared to the bustling city, there are very few restaurants in this area, and the breakup party held by the class is held in the open air, and the location is the school playground.
Ye Chen still didn't understand why the party was called a break-up party. Could it be that after the party, the break-up party began?
The usually majestic building manager aunt seemed extremely nagging at the moment, constantly telling interesting things about each dormitory. However, her smile was always so forced.
When Ye Chen and the others left the iron gate, she sighed sadly, another three years, every year, she didn't know how many generations she had sent away...
In the past, they should be working hard in the classroom, but now they are gathered on the playground. There are nine classes in the entire year. Looking from a distance, the huge playground is filled with nine groups of people. Ye Chen and the others are sitting there.
In one corner, the atmosphere was always so dead, with all the buddies talking about their reluctance. There was a pungent smell of alcohol floating in the entire playground, maybe they were dreaming of drinking to relieve their sorrows. Today, everyone relied on their graduation
It is a rare opportunity to boldly drink the wine that was not allowed to be touched in the past. However, from time to time, the sound of the collision between wine bottles is heard. Gradually, one becomes drunk, some people cry, and some people look blankly at the haze.
Sky, where will we go from now on?
Graduation means breaking up. This may be a curse. Graduates always stage the same tragedy every year.
Those couples who used to be envious of others were unusually silent now. Sensing the silence, activists from the class in the past also came forward one after another to perform some funny shows, and the atmosphere became lively, with men and women who used to brag about their singing voices.
Students also stepped forward bravely. They were still in the stage of changing their voices, and they sang those popular songs vividly. The deep singing voice floated in the huge campus, and the singing seemed to bring everyone back to their youthful high school days.
"Later, I finally learned how to love, but unfortunately you were already far away and disappeared into the sea of people. Later, I finally understood through tears that some people will never be seen again once they are missed..."
As the singing echoed, some female students lost control, their eyes blurred with tears, and burst into tears, while the boys drank one bottle after another of spicy wine with a gloomy expression.
Everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk. Ye Chen and a few people in the dormitory remained silent. Everyone only knew how to drink. However, a few girls came to express their feelings to Ye Chen. Ye Chen politely refused.
Everything seemed to be developing according to the written script. After the party, Ye Chen dragged his heavy luggage back to the small bungalow and opened the door. At this time in the past, his mother must have said with a smile.
: "Back!"
However, it was not the case today. Ye Chen opened the door and saw some distant relatives standing in the small room, while his mother was lying peacefully on the sofa.
Wrinkles covered the mother's face, and under the pale light, the mother's face looked so kind.
The luggage in his hand slipped instantly, and Ye Chen ran away and held his mother's calloused hand. However, the warm hand in the past had become extremely cold.
The distant aunt sighed softly: "Ye Chen, your mother secretly went to sell blood in order to get your tuition fees. In addition, she became ill due to overwork on weekdays and did not seek treatment. She died suddenly while working in a factory!"
Hearing this, a look of sadness appeared on Ye Chen's face, tears dripped down his cheeks, and he hugged his mother's body and cried loudly.
It wasn't until his voice became hoarse that Ye Chen wiped away the tears from his eyes, stood up, and sent these distant relatives away.
When only Ye Chen and his mother were left in the room, Ye Chen started crying again, and the scenes of getting along with his mother in the past appeared in front of Ye Chen's eyes.
My mother’s joyful smile when she wrote for the first time;
My mother’s proud look when she got the award for the first time;
The first time I contradicted my mother, my mother secretly wiped away her tears;
Everything emerged in Ye Chen's mind, and Ye Chen held his mother's hand blankly until the tears flowed out, and Ye Chen's voice became extremely hoarse.
His mother's funeral was not grand. Only a few distant relatives attended the funeral. After the relatives left, Ye Chen still knelt motionless in front of the tombstone. The cold tombstone blocked the distance between him and his mother.
Come.
Ye Chen was like a homeless child, stupidly telling funny stories from his childhood, and crying as he spoke.
His mother's favorite thing was carnations, so Ye Chen placed a lot of carnations in front of the cold tombstone. It wasn't until Ye Chen's voice became hoarse that Ye Chen got up.
Looking at the tombstone, Ye Chen's eyes were sometimes confused and sometimes sober. The glow filtered through the clouds and fell on Ye Chen and the tombstone.
As the sun set, the shadows of Ye Chen and the tombstone stretched so long that they finally overlapped.
The roar of the wind still echoed in his ears. Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of confusion in his eyes anymore, and he said hoarsely: "Dream, it's time to wake up!"
