I Am A Prodigy 357 Revolutionary Poem!

Nevertheless, within a brief moment, the number of people tagging her grew, all pointing at the same poem.

‘What poem is this? How did it get so much attention?’

Fueled by her curiosity, she finally decided to check it out.

[Crab is peeling my shell.

The notebook is writing on me.

The sky filled with me lands on the maple leaf and snowflakes.

Yet you’re thinking of me.]

‘Such a simple poem!’

That was Little Yu’s initial impression. Additionally, the writing style came off peculiar. It was childish, and the sentences seemed to be in reverse. Under normal circumstances, it would not be appropriate.

However, weirdly enough, she felt that the poem carried a hidden meaning. Crab, notebook, maple leaf, snowflakes. They all described one emotion—sorrow.

With that sorrowful feeling in mind, she read the poem again. This time, as she read through the verses, the sorrowful feeling deepened. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed, and tears seemed to pour out from her heart, instantly flooding her eyes.

‘Reverse!’

‘It was in reverse!’

‘This is a revolutionary poem!’

She wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and read it for the third and fourth time. The emotions grew stronger, and finally, she took a deep breath and started to voice out her views on Weibo.

[The beauty of language lies in its versatility. I firmly believe poetry to be the canvas for this beauty to be fully expressed. Language can use the simplest words to express the deepest of emotions! This poem is definitely well written. It is different from all other poems. It was written in reverse! It shook me to the core!]

She started by uploading that message onto Weibo. Like a rock that caused a thousand ripples, it instantly attracted the attention of all the viewers.

[It can’t be. Even Little Yu is praising that poem?]

[FML. This is my first time seeing Little Yu giving such high praises to a poem. A new writing method? What does this mean?]

[I’ll await for the explanation with you guys. Let’s appreciate this together!]

[Could it be a circle jerk? Y Cosmetic is an online trend store after all.]

[It’s too fake. Just a couple of words and it’s getting such great assessment? I just can’t see what’s so good about it.]

…

Very quickly, the comments under Little Yu’s post grew. More and more people started following the thread, all of them trying to figure out the meaning behind this poem.

Little Yu paid them no heed but instead continued to type out her insights.

‘Reading in reverse?’

They once more shifted their focus on the poem.

[I’m peeling the shell of the crab.

I’m writing in a notebook.

The sky full of maple leaf and snowflakes landed on me,

Yet I’m missing you!]

Boom!

Just as they finished reading the last line, all their minds were blown. At that moment, they finally understood what the poem was about.

It was a poem about longing, trying to convey the message of ‘I miss you’!

[I believe that everyone has given it a try. After reading it in reverse, those verses make sense now right? The author didn’t only express his longing, but it also carried a deeper meaning: You’ll only think of me if the world is upside down! This is a sad one-sided love.]

Little Yu’s words once more stunned the crowd. In the next moment, they all felt a warmth within them that moved their hearts.

[You’ll only think of me if the world is upside down. Hehe, what a sad tale…]

[Ahhh, reading this poem again made me cry. How shameful that I didn’t understand it on my first try.]

[This poem is written in a really special way. However, I really can’t relate to the sadness it portrays. It can’t be that exaggerated right?]

[Previous post, you’ve never loved someone before right? When you experience a one-sided love, you’ll truly understand this poem.]

[That’s right. You’ll only think of me if the world is upside down. Meanwhile, longing for you has become a part of my life, just like a normal notebook. Sob sob sob…]

[Genius! Only when you understand you’ll realize how magnificent this poem is!]

…

In an instant, the poem’s explanation spread like wildfire over the internet. On that special occasion, the poem naturally became the most welcomed poem on Singles’ Day.

Nothing was more suitable for Singles’ Day than a one-sided love.

Furthermore, along with the poem gaining traction, Y Cosmetics rose in popularity too. A lot of people expressed that it was too difficult to court the pretty boss lady of Y Cosmetics. Composing a poem that surpassed theirs? How was that even possible?!

That poem immediately turned into Y Cosmetics’ symbol, gaining countless praises.

Ye Lingchen was instead sitting in the back. As he watched his popularity points went from 500 over thousand to 558,978, a faint smile appeared on his face as he remained hidden.

The next day, Ye Lingchen got out of bed early in the morning. After his morning exercise, he calmly waited for Xu Nan to pick him up.

Early in the morning, all the big media platforms were covering the news on autonomous vehicle technology. Aside from the entertainment news channel, some central news broadcasts had also brought up topics on autonomous vehicle technology. It was the arrival of a new era. The significance of this issue resulted in foreign media reporting on it as well.

It would appear that the whole world was focused on that day, a day the people of China took pride in.

At 9am sharp, Xu Nan’s car parked outside the gates of Hill Spring Residences.

“Master!”

Seeing Ye Lingchen, Xu Nan immediately came forward to greet him with a smile.

Ye Lingchen returned a nod and got into the car.

The car drove on, and shortly arrived at the exhibit venue.

Looking around, the area was filled with cars. Countless people were coming and going with excitement displayed on their faces as they conversed.

Ye Lingchen saw quite a number of foreigners, ranging from fair to dark skin tones. All of them had an excited smile on their faces.

“Student Ye Lingchen, you’re here.” Xu Wanqing appeared before Ye Lingchen.

“Teacher Xu.”

“I’m sorry about the previous incident. We didn’t manage to safeguard your note and had to trouble you again,” Xu Wanqing apologized.

Ye Lingchen returned a smile without words.

It would be a lie to say that he was not angry. As he grew steadily, he slowly developed the ego as a prodigy. At first, he did not plan to take further actions, but with Xu Nan as his disciple and Xu Wanqing as a teacher he was close to, it was difficult for him to say no when requested by both of them. Furthermore, autonomous vehicle technology was an important matter. One could even say it directly impacted the technological standing and advancement of China. For those reasons, Ye Lingchen would still try his best to contribute.

“Master, please calm down. You can point out the flaws later and give her a good round of face slapping! Let Abbess Miejue admit her mistakes. I guarantee that she’ll offer her sincerest apology!” Xu Nan said coquettishly while tugging at Ye Lingchen’s arm…
