198: College Entrance Exams (2)

College Entrance Exams (2)

After returning to school, the class monitor had the students go out to buy some sunflower seeds, fruits, and other snacks.2

"Today is the last class meeting for our class. The topic of the class meeting today is 'Thank You, Teachers,' and 'Friends Forever.'"

The class monitor was a boy.

When he spoke, he sounded as if something was stuck in his throat.

"Thank you, teachers, for teaching us over the past three years."

"Thank you, everyone, for growing together over the past three years."

"I hope that in the days that follow, our teachers will remain healthy, and we wish them all the best."

"I hope that the students from this class will soar like birds in the sky and have a bright future ahead."

Everyone clapped enthusiastically after the class monitor was done with his speech.

Thunderous applause filled the classroom.

The monitor stood on the podium and took out a harmonica. He held it near his lips and said softly, "I am the class monitor, so I shall take the lead and play a song for all of you. Everyone has to perform. Don't skip your turn. If you do that at our last class meeting, we will remember you for the rest of our lives. You might be brought up at our class gatherings 10 or 20 years later..."

The class monitor began to play a tune.

Everyone was silent.

The night breeze blew into the classroom.

The sadness at the students' impending parting filled the entire school.

Every student had their own performance. A few girls did a dance number, and a few boys did a Wushu performance, as well as a street dance performance.

When it was Ye Tianxin's turn, she walked up to the middle of the classroom confidently and sang a song.

Every student hoped that the class meeting this time would last a little longer, just a little longer. They knew that this would probably be the last time that they would be all together.

It was a pity that it had to end eventually. "Come to the school field tomorrow at 10 in the morning to take your graduation photos," Mr. Chen announced. "Please do not be late."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, sir."

Especially emotional girls had already started sobbing.

Mr. Chen was also teary-eyed.

When he left, he went after Ye Tianxin and asked, "Tianxin, what do you plan to do after the college entrance exams?"

Ye Tianxin did not intend to hide anything from Mr. Chen. Based on the original plan, she had to leave the town of Jiameng in the afternoon tomorrow to join the film set.

"I am going to shoot a movie, Mr. Chen," Ye Tianxin shared. "Perhaps you will be able to see me on the big screen one day."

Mr. Chen patted Ye Tianxin's shoulder. "Work hard. I know you can do it. When that time comes, Jiameng High School will have a banner made for you and post it on the gates."

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

That night, Ye Tianxin returned to the apartment.

Guan Chenxi had already finished packing up. Suitcases were lying by the wall.

When she saw Ye Tianxin coming home, Guan Chenxi said, "Tianxin, I have already packed up. We're going to join the film set tomorrow."

"Yep. Thank you, Elder Sister Chenxi."

Guan Chenxi smiled. "Go and chat with your grandmother then. I'm going to get some rest."

Ye Tianxin walked to her grandmother's room. The caregiver was monitoring Grandmother's blood pressure. When she saw Ye Tianxin, she greeted her, "Tianxin."

"Grandmother, I will be leaving tomorrow. Do you want to go to the film set with me?"

Grandmother shook her head. "I shall stay here and go check out the courtyard from time to time. Tianxin, I won't be there with you. You have to take care of yourself and don't let yourself get injured."

Ye Tianxin held her grandmother's hand. "Grandmother, perhaps there will be loads of people who will come and visit you after the college entrance exam results are released."

"I will wait for you to get into a good university." Grandmother reached out to touch Ye Tianxin's face. "Tianxin, you're all grown up."
