  Chapter 801 The Last Leaf

  The next few days.

  Tribes and bloggers promoted various activities of [King of Short Stories] held by them.

   Between the lines, fighting each other, fighting openly and secretly.

  The competition between the two big capitals has triggered countless discussions among netizens!

  Under the background of the coming mountains and rain.

  The world of short stories is surging.

  Lin Yuan always codewords silently in the studio.

  The remaining few manuscripts were completed by him one after another.

   And when he finished the work at hand, time had already moved towards the middle.

this day.

  Morning.

  Jin Mu suddenly knocked on the door of Lin Yuan’s office, bringing him a message:

"The tribe has just started this activity. They changed their previous gameplay and first released a short story that hides the author's identity. This is a flare gun that announces the start of war. Every hour after today, they will send out a short story. An anonymous short story."

   "What about the blog?"

   "Continue to follow."

  Lin Yuan nodded.

  The novel Lin Yuan has finished writing. This is the hole card he prepared for the blog. How to play this card with the tribe is something the editors of the blog literature department must consider. Now the tribe has taken the lead in playing cards.

boom!

  The starting gun sounded.

  The battle for the king of short stories has officially begun!

  ……

  The first short story released by the tribe is called "Mirror".

  This novel has just been released, and it directly aroused the praise of netizens!

   "This novel is pretty good!"

   "The tribe is worthy of a golden lineup. The quality of the first novel is pretty good!"

   "It's a pity that the ending almost meant, but in general it is already a very good work."

"This should not be Feihong and Feng Hua's work. It feels more like Zhou Yu's work. If you put it in the past, this novel is expected to stabilize the top three, but the lineup of tribe writers in this issue is too good, and it is estimated that it will eventually rank. It's not easy to say."

   "I feel a bit like Zou Ge's work."

   "If this novel is published on the blog, it will surely make it into the top three. Apart from Chu Kuang, I can't think of anyone else on the blog that can stabilize this one!"

   "Speaking of blogs, has the event started over there?"

  "……"

  Netizens are curious.

  The tribe has already started making moves. What will the blogger do?

  Someone tried to open the active interface of the blog.

brush!

  The activity interface of the blog has also been updated, and the first short story has appeared!

  The name of the work, "The Last Leaf"!

   "Ah this!"

   "The blog moves fast!"

   "It seems that the two sides are really strong. The tribe has just published its first short story, and the blog side has shown a short story next!"

  "The activities on both sides are exactly the same!"

  "If you compare it so simply, wouldn't the disadvantages of blogs be more obvious?"

   "Compared with the lineup on the tribe side, the blog side should only be able to get the work of Chu Kuang, right?"

   "Let’s read this first."

   "I bet on a pack of spicy strips. The quality of the first blog post is definitely not as good as the tribe. Chu Kuang's work will definitely be released later for the finale, by the way!"

  "……"

  Netizens discussed, switched blogs along the way, and clicked on "The Last Leaf".

  In fact.

  Everyone is paying attention to the blog purely because of Chu Kuang.

  The only author on the blog is Chu Kuang’s work, which is worth looking forward to.

  ……

  Hanzhou Art Institute.

  In the 1313 classroom of the Faculty of Letters.

  Professor Logan’s special open class!

  Professor Logan is the gold-letter sign of the Faculty of Arts under the Hanzhou University of Arts. In addition to his professorship, he is also a very successful novelist writer. He has many works under his name and is highly respected by students in the school.

  Today’s class was specially prepared by the school for Professor Logan.

  Ms. Logan did not give a lecture today, but directly let everyone use mobile phones and computers to read the short stories published by the tribe and the blog today, and then discuss the novels based on the students’ personal understanding.

  Combined with the real-time dynamics of the literary world, a unique teaching method.

  At this time, everyone has just finished discussing the tribe's "Mirror", and the enthusiasm is very high.

   Logan looked at the blog and said with a smile:

   "Just now everyone said it very well. Next, please read the "Last Leaf" published on the blog and tell me your understanding."

"Ok!"

  The students spoke cooperatively, and then clicked on "The Last Leaf".

  Logan also clicked on this novel.

  Tribal and literary short events are a major event in the literary world. Logan specifically applied to the school for an open class around this event, and it seems that the effect is not bad.

  This is also Logan's purpose.

  He thinks that this class is good, so that students can have a deep understanding of short stories.

   "I don't know which Chu Kuang's novel is and when it will be published."

  The thought flashed through Logan's mind before opening the novel to read.

  There are many writers worth looking forward to Logan on the tribe, but there is only one Chu Kuang on the blog side.

  However, although the lineup of writers on the blog side is not as good as the tribe, after all, they are also well-known short story writers in the industry. Most of their works are worthy of students' research and thinking.

  More on that.

  What if this "Last Leaf" is Chu Kuang's handwriting?

  A few thoughts flashed in Logan's mind, and he had entered the formal reading.

  【In a community on the west side of a certain square, the streets stretched out and split into small alleys...】

  Preliminary introduction to the background of the story.

  Very conventional short opening technique.

   Logan thought without any fluctuations in his heart, and continued to look down along the text.

  Two minutes later.

  Logan's mouth suddenly made an inexplicable sound.

"Ok?"

  He beats slightly faster, Logan's reading speed slowed down.

  The content of this short story is not complicated...

  The heroine of the novel, Johnsy, contracted severe pneumonia in the cold November, and her condition was getting worse.

  As a painter, she pinned her hope of life on the last vine leaf outside the window.

  She felt that the day when this vine leaf fell was the end of her life.

  Many people who gave up on themselves before the illness are unavoidable in their ideas.

  Jonsey’s best friend felt very sad about this and told the old painter Bellman about Jonsey’s thoughts.

  Bellman is a hot-tempered person who spends his time with wine. He has painted for nearly forty years, but nothing has been achieved. Every day he says that he wants to create a stunning work, but he is always just empty talk.

  After he heard this, he scolded, but he still had nothing to do.

  However, in the following days, a miracle happened:

  Although the wind blows so hard outside the house and the jagged leaf edges have withered and turned yellow, it still grows on the tall vine branches.

  Jonsey saw the last leaf still hanging on the tree, and his heart was deeply moved.

  The leaves can survive the cold wind, why can’t you?

  She regained her belief in life and survived tenaciously...

What does it mean?

  As long as you believe in miracles, miracles will happen?

  If the story ends in this way, Logan will definitely scold the author severely.

  Do you just pour the chicken soup into the reader’s mouth?

   slightly frowned.

  Logan continued to look down.

  In fact, there is nothing left behind.

  The story ends with what a girlfriend said to Jonsey:

  【Mr. Bellman died of pneumonia in the hospital today. He was only sick for two days. The first morning, the porter found him unable to move in pain in his room downstairs. His shoes and clothes were all soaked and cold. They couldn't figure out where he went on that miserable night. Later they found a lantern that was not extinguished, a ladder that had moved around, a few paintbrushes that were thrown all over the floor, and a palette with green and yellow paint on it, and-dear , Look outside the window, look at the last vine leaf on the wall. Haven't you ever thought about why the wind blows so hard, but it never shakes or moves? Alas, my dear, this leaf is Bellmen's masterpiece—it was the night when the last leaf fell, and he painted it there forever. 】

   gurgle.

  Subconsciously swallowed.

   Logan's frowning brows floated towards his forehead, forming a circle of clear lines of raising his forehead!

this moment!

  Logan was stunned!

  In a trance.

  There seemed to be such a picture before his eyes:

  In a stormy night, the old painter Bellman, who was over 60 years old, stood up a ladder and waved his paintbrush with difficulty.

  The last leaf takes shape in an extremely difficult environment!

  At the last moments of old Bellman’s life, this old painter who was constrained by painting skills to achieve nothing, finally completed a shocking masterpiece!

  Reverse!

  The classic reversal!

  Rogen's scalp is slightly numb!

  There are countless emotions rising in my heart!

  At this moment, a name flashed in Logan's mind——

  Chu mad!

   Logan can almost conclude that "The Last Leaf" is definitely Chu Kuang's handwriting!

  He has studied Chu Kuang’s short stories.

  This is a very classic Chu crazy ending.

  Chu Kuang is very good at giving a shocking reversal at the end.

  This is also where Logan admires Chu Kuang the most!

   exhale.

   Logan sighed with emotion:

   "It's really an amazing reversal. Like the original "The Maggie's Gift", the ending is clearly unexpected, but it is reasonable."

   looked up and looked down the stage.

  In this classroom full of students and densely packed with hundreds of heads, some people have finished reading novels one after another.

  Logan can clearly see the subtle changes in the expressions of the students in the front row.

  Surprised!

Moving!

   Shocking!

  All these different emotions are shown on the faces of the students, and some emotional girls have reddened their eyes.

  And when everyone had read this novel, the whole classroom burst into a hustle and bustle!

  The students exchanged excitedly:

   "This work must be written by Chu Kuang!"

   "Well written!"

   "The final reversal is so touching!"

   "I have never been so shocked by a short story!"

  "Before I saw the end~www.readwn.com~ I almost thought it was a vulgar eulogy of miracles..."

   "The work of the tribe is simply lost!"

   "There is no comparability at all, this novel has completely crushed the tribe one!"

   "I can't fault anything!"

  "……"

  After several minutes of heated discussion, Logan knocked on the table without rush, and said with a heavy voice:

   "Next, let's talk about this novel..."
