Chapter 183 The Difference Between Good and Evil
Although there was a discordant incident before the meal, the dinner still lasted for quite a long time.

After the dinner, Zhao Yuxi asked Gu Tingzhou to deliver the remaining cake to Xu Yingze's door.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying were still in the box.

Xu Ying sat opposite her classmate and said, "Zhao Yuxi's ideas and actions are problematic. We can persuade her, but we can't force her. If she doesn't understand, there's no need to talk anymore."

Mu Zhengguang knew that his classmates did not pull his clothes to protect Zhao Yuxi. In that situation, it would be harmful to reason with Zhao Yuxi. But he might not be "sophisticated" at that time. If his classmates had not reminded him, he would have acted recklessly under the influence of his emotions.

"Zhao Yuxi must think that she is doing the right thing by bringing people together."

Xu Ying nodded: "If she felt that what she did was wrong, she probably wouldn't say it. She let the arsonist go, saying that it was a way to atone for his crime, which is also problematic. Her actions can't even be considered as doing good things with bad intentions, because people who use such means definitely don't have a truly good heart."

"Hmm. Should we draw a line between ourselves and her from now on?"

"We don't actively look for her, but we don't actively push her away either. If she needs us to do something and it's not against our will and not too difficult to do, we can help her."

Mu Zhengguang didn't quite understand his classmates' intentions: We couldn't see Zhao Yuxi's good and evil attributes before, she was too vague, she would do good things and bad things, this kind of person can be associated with, because everyone is like this. But now, Zhao Yuxi's good and evil attributes have been very obvious, why can't we stay away from her immediately?
Xu Ying saw his doubts, and she added: "The relationship between us and Zhao Yuxi is neither friends nor enemies. She needs me, and I need her. This need does not necessarily mean that she asks me to do something or I ask her to do something. Sometimes, as long as the relationship between me and her still exists, it's enough. For us, Zhao Yuxi is a very useful ancient. Although you don't think about it in this way, this is the fact. I told you my plan and my selfishness."

Mu Zhengguang really hadn't thought of using Zhao Yuxi. In his mind, he didn't think that classmate Ying would use Zhao Yuxi. If someone else said "Zhao Yuxi is an ancient person who is very useful", he would probably get angry because this statement is too disrespectful. But since his classmate said this, he could barely accept it. The classmate's use was more like taking what they needed, rather than control, seizure, deception, or blackmail.

Xu Ying looked at him quietly, waiting for him quietly.

Mu Zhengguang remained silent for a long time. The facts his classmates said were very different from what he had thought of before, and it would take time to figure it out. Only after figuring it out could he face the matter correctly.

"Thank you for telling me this."

The conversation between Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze was somewhat heavy.

In Zhao Yuxi's villa, a very relaxed conversation was taking place.

"Gu Tingzhou, did you watch costume TV dramas when you were a child?"

"I have seen it." Gu Tingzhou didn't understand why Zhao Yuxi asked this question. Was it her curiosity that got the better of her?
"Have you ever seen a plot about arranged marriage in a TV series?"

Gu Tingzhou suddenly realized: So that's how it is, you gave someone else a marriage, but you didn't say it yourself, you wanted others to say it for you, you wanted to experience that kind of superiority! Then let you experience it. Anyway, it's just a word, I won't suffer any loss.

"Yes. You let those two get married, which is almost like granting them marriage, right?"

Zhao Yuxi was very proud: "Yes, it is a granted marriage. How is it? Isn't power great? It can decide a person's life and death, and a person's future."

Gu Tingzhou has always believed that power and greatness have nothing to do with each other. Using the word "great" to describe power is like using the word "noble" to describe a house. It sounds stupid and makes no sense.

He decided to argue with Zhao Yuxi, to make her realize that he was also a very opinionated and thoughtful person: "Power has nothing to do with greatness. Especially in this era, power is just an accessory of strength." "Do you want this accessory?" Zhao Yuxi didn't want to discuss with him whether power and greatness were related. Discussing this with him would only make herself boring. She slightly changed the topic so that the conversation could proceed smoothly.

"want to."

"If you want it, then make yourself a great man. Then many people will be willing to give you power. Do you want to do something in your jurisdiction to warn the world?"

"No need, just let nature take its course. When I finish my work at the Academy of Sciences, I want to go and see what the person you arranged to marry looks like. Do you think they will be happy together?" Gu Tingzhou wanted to warn the world, but if he asked his subordinates to warn the world, it might be judged illegal by the Star Lord, so he didn't do it.

"Happiness? I'm the one who arranged the marriage for them. If I'm not completely happy, how can they be happy? Right? Don't set the standard so high."

"You are not happy? How come I can't see that?" In Gu Tingzhou's opinion, Zhao Yuxi should be very happy: she has power, strength, and wealth. She is doing a job she likes and is good at. Her family will not interfere with her life. She has many friends. She has accurate life goals. Her every day is so fulfilling...

"You didn't see that, that's great, that means I'm happier than you. I was joking, don't take it seriously. There is an emotional foundation between those two people. After all, they were classmates, and they were together for more than ten hours a day, more than two hundred days a year. Moreover, they also have a material foundation. With these two conditions, they are more likely to be happy than most people. Gu Tingzhou, do you have a favorite classmate?"

Zhao Yuxi was not curious about whether Gu Tingzhou had watched costume dramas, because she had already guessed the answer. She was curious about whether Gu Tingzhou had a favorite classmate, because she could not guess the answer to this question. Although most people should have a favorite classmate, Gu Tingzhou's status and situation were too special, and he might not be the majority.

"Classmate Zhao Yuxi. Am I so special in your eyes?" Gu Tingzhou paused after saying "classmate". Not only because it was the first time he called Zhao Yuxi like this, but also because he had "other intentions" towards Zhao Yuxi.

"what?"

"Isn't it human nature to have someone you like? Could it be that I don't have this kind of human nature?"

“Do you have a picture of a classmate you like?”

"Does a graduation photo count?"

"Graduation photo? I guess it can be considered as such. Is it a junior high school graduation photo or a high school graduation photo?"

"junior high school."

"So early?" When Zhao Yuxi heard about the graduation photo, her first reaction was the high school graduation photo, but she was afraid that she had guessed wrong, so she asked one more question. After this question, she realized that she had guessed wrong.

"If I don't like someone until high school, isn't it too late?"

Zhao Yuxi was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Tingzhu mistakenly thought that she was talking about her sad story, and quickly apologized: "Sorry, I said the wrong thing. It's not too late to have someone you like in high school, because I heard that many people..."

“I thought about what I would do next: We can use our power to define early and late.”
