Epilogue: The Secret of the Cherry Blossom Tree
Three years later.
September, early autumn.
The green trees and flowers everywhere are so beautiful that people don’t want to leave this beautiful school.
The students passing by were talking excitedly about a music performance that had just ended in the auditorium not long ago - to be precise, it was the opening ceremony.
However, at the end of the opening ceremony, the school invited a new band that suddenly emerged in the music scene last year to sing a song, and the whole school became a fan meeting... This new band is composed of four teenage members aged 16 to 18, and they became an instant hit once they were launched.
Originally it would have been impossible to perform this easily...but, as luck would have it, the lead singer of this group is a student who just entered the second year of high school in this school.
I stood in the remote south courtyard of the school, gently touching the incredibly beautiful and huge cherry tree in front of me, and smiled unconsciously.
"Hey, why don't you come backstage to comfort me?"
I turned around and saw the tall boy in the baseball cap walking towards me with a very sad look on his face.
Then he raised his head and smiled at me: "I thought you weren't here! I asked you to bring me lunch yesterday ."
In the sunlight, the fair face looks extremely delicate.
This young man has a pair of bright big eyes, with a hint of unruly good and evil between his eyebrows, as if he is a rising red sun, full of vitality and hard to ignore.
He walked up to me and was a head and a half taller than me.
Bending down, he stretched out his slender fingers to pinch my long hair and twirl it around for fun: "I say, are you embarrassed to meet me backstage because you didn't bring me food?"
I rolled my eyes and slapped his hand away: "Go! Eat it over there. It's over there."
I pointed to the lunch bag on the bench next to me .
He shrugged and didn't rush over. Instead, he put one hand on my shoulder and said, "Tell me, why is it that your hair has only grown but not your height in the past few years?"
"Ye, Zi, Xi——" I glared at him with gritted teeth, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up, you naughty boy."
The man in front of him had a hint of disappointment in his eyes. Then, he made an exaggerated face: "Beat me? Oh my, I'm really scared, Sister Luo Huayin... Also, please stop calling me a naughty kid. It would be embarrassing if my fans heard it..."
I rolled my eyes once again, ignored him, and continued to look at the huge cherry tree in front of me.
The boy next to me had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and he looked exactly like the guy in the past! Unfortunately, he was so flamboyant since he was a child, and even more exaggerated when he grew up. His personality and temperament were not like that guy at all... After a while, he followed my line of sight and looked at the tree in front of me, and his tone was a little strange: "I say, you have been staring at these words for three years, are they really that good-looking?"
"None of your business!"
I smiled and reached out to touch the words on it.
Yes, there are words on it... my name is engraved in a place that is not easy to notice.
Three years ago, when I discovered this secret, I could hardly believe my eyes. My name was carved crookedly on the tree trunk.
It turns out that the person Ye Jing likes is me.
But... the strange thing is that there is a piece that has been cut off on the other side of the trunk, and I don’t know why.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zixi suddenly spoke softly, "Luo Huayin, are you ready to take the postgraduate entrance exam at your university?"
I almost spit it out and looked at him weirdly: "Do you want to force me to death?"
At first, I had no intention of taking the college entrance examination, but Ye Zixi pestered me to apply to the university next to our school. He said that if I didn’t, he would tell everyone in the family … Three years passed unknowingly, and I had successfully completed my sophomore year.
"Just keep taking the exams! I plan to apply to your school in two years. By then, I will be a freshman and you will be a senior. If you go to graduate school, won't I have a place to eat during college?"
"Just give me a break! That's just wishful thinking..."
Just as I was about to continue speaking, the cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
Hmm? A hospital?
Ye Zixi and I looked at each other and quickly pressed the answer button, almost trembling with nervousness: "Hello?"
As soon as I said hello, Ye Zixi snatched the phone away and answered it.
I was so nervous that I didn't have the strength to snatch it back. I just held on to his clothes tightly - this was the hospital where Ye Jing was working. In the past three years, I have never received a call from this number... Half a minute later, Ye Zixi hung up the phone.
His face was more serious than ever before: "Let's go! To the hospital, the doctor said my brother is showing signs of recovery, he might wake up this time!"
"Really?"
"50% chance... Don't worry, even if he doesn't wake up this time, it's still a good sign." Ye Zixi held my trembling arm and frowned tightly, "Okay, don't be nervous, we'll go over now."
I nodded heavily.
Ye Jing...he must have woken up...
I'm still waiting for him to wake up and tell me in person that the person he likes is me... I must make a good laugh at him...
After walking a few steps, Ye Zixi suddenly stopped and looked at the part of the cherry tree behind him that had been cut off.
"What's wrong?" I pulled him anxiously.
He turned around and looked at me. After a few seconds, he shook his head: "Nothing... Let's go!"
"Um!"
Leaf Realm...
He must have woken up...
must!
