Chapter 177 The Dream Lover

At night, Mu Zhengguang had a very long dream.

After waking up from a dream, everything is forgotten.

The silver key takes effect and the memory is reread.

This was not the first time he had dreamed of his classmate Ying. In the past, when they did not meet frequently, he would occasionally dream of his classmate. In recent days, he and his classmate have been together every day, working and eating together, so it was not too strange to meet in a dream, but this dream was more profound than the previous ones.

He reread his memory twice with a silver spoon, watching the story in his dream twice like watching a movie, then got up happily, washed quickly, and knocked on his classmate's door.

Xu Ying got up a little earlier than Mu Zhengguang.

The second-class ability laboratory opens at 7 a.m. every day, and Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying arrive at the laboratory at 9 a.m. every day. This is the time they agreed on.

In the morning, they were in the second-class ability laboratory, in the afternoon, they were in the abnormal object laboratory, and at night, they were in the first-class event laboratory. This was the place they had agreed on.

The door opened.

"My dear classmate, I dreamed of you today."

The person who said this was not Xu Yingze, but Mu Zhengguang. The other party could use the title of "little classmate", and so could he.

Xu Ying couldn't wait to know what happened in the dream: "What did you dream about? Tell me quickly."

"I dreamed that on a very hot summer day, we walked to the fields behind the junior high school. The fields were covered with dead grass, just like winter. You and I walked up the ridges one step at a time. You must remember it, it was the kind of place that looked like a terraced field but wasn't one."

"I remember. When we first entered junior high school, the fields behind the school were desolate. Later, a road was built there, and many houses were built along the roadside."

"Yeah. We walked along the dirt road in the wild, getting farther and farther away, and getting more and more tired. You swung your arms around casually, and before I knew it, your left arm was around my neck, like an arm around my shoulder."

"Really? Is it like this?" Xu Ying walked to his side, stretched out her left arm and put her arm around his neck.

Mu Zhengguang's heart beat very fast. He knew he couldn't say any more. It might be inappropriate to say any more. In the dream, the two of them were even closer than they were now. That intimacy was not only reflected in their actions, but also in their feelings.

Summer clothes always have too much trance. Meeting in the desolate place intensifies loneliness and meeting. In the cover of fields and grass, the two gradually walked away. Under the sunlight, sweat dripped. Among all things, only you and I walked together. The thin clothes and close distance of the people walking together are heart-pounding and unforgettable.

It was still summer at this moment, and the classmate's clothes were not too thick, and the distance between them was very close. "Heart-pounding" and "unforgettable" continued from the dream to reality.

"Don't be so embarrassed. It's normal for me to hug you or do something else, right?"

Mu Zhengguang nodded. He did not put his arms around the person in front of him, nor did he touch her face like he did yesterday.

In the dream, two people squatted in a sunken place in the field. The thriving dry grass and the perfect terrain just blocked out the sunlight. The two people leaned on each other shoulder to shoulder. The wind blew their hair and also tied their hair together.

"I have dreamed of you more than once. In my dreams, you seemed like a very good child. You are still very good now and can also be a child. Little boy, go buy me breakfast." Xu Ying wanted to be alone for a while and slowly savor her feelings at the moment.

"Ah?" "Then I'll go buy it. You wait for me at home."

"No, I'll go. What do you want to eat?"

"Same as yesterday, fried shrimp, soup dumplings, and yogurt."

"Okay, I'll remember that. Bye."

"Goodbye."

Xu Ying watched her classmates leave. She went back to her bedroom and lay down for a while. After getting up, she combed her hair again.

I have always called him a kid, not because he is childish and naughty like a kid, but because he is pure and cute like a kid. Today, the kid has grown up. Although his body will not continue to grow, the next stage of life is just around the corner as he gets older. He is not ready for the next stage, and neither am I. Fortunately, there is still some time before the next stage officially arrives, which is enough time for him and I to prepare everything.

Mu Zhengguang was also thinking about the future, but he "separated" the future from the present. In the near future, the relationship between him and Ying would go a step further, but that kind of relationship had not yet appeared, so he was always hesitant and did not dare to face certain thoughts in his heart.

When Mu Zhengguang came back, the door was open. He stopped knocking and walked directly into the living room. He saw his classmates already sitting there waiting for him.

The two shared breakfast.

After breakfast, Xu Ying talked about what happened yesterday: "Zhao Yuxi has done her duty to us. She can tell the truth from lies, see people's emotions, and see people's bodies. Her abilities are hard to guard against, but also the least to guard against. I think when the time is right, I will tell her some of my abilities. What do you think?"

"Okay. Should I tell her about my ability too?"

"I'm not sure, but I can help you analyze the pros and cons. Our abilities are too similar. If you tell her, she might overthink it. That's the only downside. As for the pros, there are many. If you and I both tell her about our abilities, she will understand that we have the same attitude toward her. Although you and she... she and I are not friends, we should still do our best to do everything we can besides being friends."

Mu Zhengguang knew that Ying didn't consider Zhao Yuxi as a friend. She didn't have the habit of calling her friends sister. He realized this before she said this. The boundary of Ying and Zhao Yuxi's relationship was probably: help each other in a beneficial range, and stay out of the harmful range.

"She can't be our friend, what is the specific reason?"

"Her yearning for power and the engineering of life laws are the reasons. We also like power and are curious about the engineering of life laws, but we are not as devoted to it as she is. Power has almost become her most important attribute. If one day we hinder her power, she will naturally regard us as people other than friends."

"Okay, I get it. Power can bring people together, but it can also separate them."

"Yes. I asked the teacher to reserve seats for us in the last row. When we go back, we can sit anywhere in the classroom, not necessarily in the last row. I wonder how our classmates will look at us."

"Their opinions don't matter. I hope our friends can still be the same as before. I think I understand why Gu Tingzhou doesn't want to marry a modern person."

"Because the gap is too big, there is no common understanding. Zhao Yuxi's mate selection standard is higher than Gu Tingzhou's. She will not marry anyone other than an ancient person. However, this is their business and has nothing to do with us."

"Correct."
