Chapter 191 Younger and Older Classmates

After the explosion, Xu Ying had been waiting for Zhao Yuxi to tell her the cause and effect of the incident. But even if Zhao Yuxi didn't tell her, she thought she had probably guessed the cause of the incident.

The location where the explosion occurred was very special. A fire broke out there, burning not only buildings and people, but also the shackles that bound everyone and the heavy burdens that weighed on them. These things that seemed non-existent but actually existed, seemingly invisible but took effect in tangible form at all times, were all destroyed by the flames and lost their original power and momentum.

The memorial service arrived before Zhao Yuxi.

It was really unbelievable that Zhao Yuxi did not show up at the memorial service.

In Xu Ying's opinion, Zhao Yuxi is a person who loves power so much, how could she miss the opportunity to show her presence and be admired? Is she willing to stay behind the scenes? If she is willing to stay behind the scenes, it means that there is a greater "power" hidden behind the scenes, and that power is more important than being praised and praised by ordinary people.

The bombing and arson happened in the same city, just a few days apart. The arson was an accident, but the bombing was probably not an accident, but something that was expected.

Maybe Zhao Yuxi did not explicitly instruct her subordinates to do this, but she definitely gave hints.

If there was no hint, her subordinates would definitely not dare to do this. Because before this, such a thing had never happened. Also, after the bombing, a memorial service followed, Zhao Yuxi's intention was obvious.

Xu Ying figured this out. She no longer waited for Zhao Yuxi. She was even a little afraid of her coming. If Zhao Yuxi didn't say these things, it would be fine. If Zhao Yuxi said them, she could only say something else to make Zhao Yuxi unhappy. In this matter, she didn't even have the qualifications to be evasive, because she didn't allow her to hide her true thoughts.

At this time, Xu Ying found that she was far from being as rational and wise as she had imagined. For this reason, she openly asked for the opinions and views of the little classmate.

Mu Zhengguang also understood that the bombing and the memorial service were inextricably linked to Zhao Yuxi. Regardless of whether she showed up or not, and regardless of what role she played in these events, she had an unshirkable responsibility.

He thought that the reason why his classmate was troubled by this matter was because he was too close to Zhao Yuxi. The two were not friends, nor were they family, but Ying also regarded her as someone she could trust and rely on. Because of this, she would take into account the other party's thoughts, fearing that speaking too bluntly would affect the other party's mood.

Mu Zhengguang and Zhao Yuxi had almost no friendship. He observed the facts from the perspective of an outsider and offered advice: "If Zhao Yuxi told us about this, we would definitely express our opposition, but we don't have to be too strong. We can't change her mind, and she can't change ours. Both sides know this. Speaking your mind truthfully is the most labor-saving for both sides."

Xu Ying had already thought about the advice given by her classmate. She wanted to get not only advice but also encouragement from her classmate. The classmate only gave her advice but did not encourage her. Although this matter is not perfect, she can make it closer to perfection through her own efforts.

Xu Ying grabbed his arm and said, "Little classmate, can you give me some encouragement? I'm afraid I don't have the courage to tell Zhao Yuxi my true thoughts."

Mu Zhengguang stretched out his hand and interlocked his fingers with hers: "My older classmate is a very powerful and determined person. She has a kind and brave heart. What's so scary about Zhao Yuxi? She can't get in our way. Even if we offend her, we don't have to be afraid of her." The younger classmate is older and the older classmate is younger. Such a subtle difference means that they have long been indistinguishable from each other.

Zhao Yuxi could also imagine how awkward it would be if she brought up this matter after meeting Xu Yingze. But she had not returned to the Academy of Sciences for this reason alone. There were people she wanted to see in the Academy of Sciences, but compared to what she wanted to do, she could see those people later. Moreover, she had not yet gone to Gu Tingzhou's house to look at the photos, so her return to the Academy of Sciences would be delayed.

Zhao Yuxi spent two days dealing with the memorial service. Afterwards, she rushed to Yuqing City.

In Gu Tingzhu's house, in the bedroom, on the second shelf of the bedside table, there was a very thick blue folder.

Zhao Yuxi took out the pictures from the last two pages of the folder and compared them carefully.

Over the past three years, Gu Tingzhu has grown a lot taller, but perhaps due to genetic limitations or some other conditions, his height is not very tall.

The last time she saw Gu Tingzhou, he was 175 cm tall. If nothing unexpected happens, his height will remain the same the next time she sees him, and for a long time to come.

Gu Tingzhou was two centimeters shorter than Mu Zhengguang. In this era, height was a small and insignificant factor, but for some reason, she always felt that it was better to be taller.

From the third year of junior high school to the third year of senior high school, from vague to clear, from immature to not-so-immature, from the inconspicuous junior high school student to an inconspicuous senior high school student, and then to an ancient being that everyone admired, he was finally one step closer to his dream.

Zhao Yuxi knew that Gu Tingzhou entered the first level only after the college entrance examination. She thought that if Gu Tingzhou could enter the first level some time earlier, then when taking graduation photos, his classmates would be willing to give him the most conspicuous position in the middle, instead of letting him stand in an inconspicuous position.

She couldn't help but imagine: If everything could be done again, Gu Tingzhou should have more smiles and confidence on his face when taking high school graduation photos. Unfortunately, he reached the first level very late and lost a precious opportunity. After the college entrance examination, he still met with his classmates, even many times, but at that time, the meaning of "classmate" was no longer clear. Everyone went to different futures because of different scores. In different futures, will the friendship of the classmates still exist? It is not Gu Tingzhou's style to show off in front of these people who are gradually drifting away. I won't do such boring things.

He was more handsome in junior high school than in high school. Judging from his expression in the photo, he was probably happier in junior high school than in high school. It is not difficult to infer from his college entrance examination results and growth experience that he was a leader in the school in junior high school, so he was able to get into a good high school. Unfortunately, he did not get into a good university in the end.

However, these three years were not worthless. At least Gu Tingzhou three years later had more boyish charm and demeanor than three years ago.
