Chapter 227: Synesthesia

Gu Tingzhou let his guilt and joy collide freely in his heart. The doors that were usually not noticeable but always closed were almost all opened at this moment. The problems hidden behind the doors gradually surfaced and became clearer and clearer in his mind.

Zhao Yuxi's crying was barely audible and lasted only a short while. She did not wipe away her tears, she was waiting for Gu Tingzhou's crying to stop.

At this time, he was like a child. I was probably the same at this time. I had always treated him as a child. In the process, I treated myself as an adult. In fact, we are the same, with many shortcomings and immaturity.

Gu Tingzhou was sure that he had never cried so long and so loudly since he entered junior high school. The person in his arms could listen to his crying silently and cry with him. This kindness was so heavy that he had the urge to give everything to the other person.

"Zhao Yuxi, can I still call you sister from now on?"

"Of course, you can yell whatever you want."

"Can you leave me a little power? When I need my seal, just give it back to me."

Sister Zhao Yuxi's desire for power is extraordinary. After the two of them are together, will his power still be in his hands? It doesn't matter who holds it, and it's not impossible to give the power to her, but if he doesn't have any power, can he still do what he wants to do?
Zhao Yuxi thought about the time when she borrowed his seal. At that time, Gu Tingzhou said, "If you are related, you will take my seal and not return it to me." If he had been allowed to finish the sentence, it might have been "If you are related, you will take my seal and not return it to me."

"After we are together, your power will not decrease, and my power will not decrease. On the contrary, because we are in tune with each other, our power will increase."

Zhao Yuxi loves power, and she knows how difficult it is for someone to give up power. She has never thought of depriving Gu Tingzhou of his power, but when she uses his power, she will sometimes regard it as her own.

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, can you lend me some money? I want to buy the house I own in Yuqing City."

Gu Tingzhou would not buy a house for no reason. It is inappropriate to say that he is very serious about the house. He will not put it aside for viewing after buying a house, but will really live in it. Zhao Yuxi does not really want Gu Tingzhou to live in Yuqing City. Yuqing City is not under our jurisdiction, and it will not be under our jurisdiction for a long time to come. I can't live there with you all the time. But I don't need to stop you from buying a house. It's just the price of a house, I can afford it.

"Gu Tingzhou, how much do you want to give me as a gift?"

Dowry? You're going to get married after you give the gift, right? That's fast, but it's better to be faster. I have about 200 million in savings, which I can give you as a dowry. If it's not enough, I can borrow 10 from each of my nine assistants in the institute, and 20 from each of the two deans. Jiang Mengxi should be quite rich, so I can borrow 30 from him. That adds up to 360 million. Maybe the assistants in the academy can also help to get 400 million.

"400."

400 million is not a small amount, it is about his six months salary. But if 400 million is regarded as six months salary, then it is a small amount. Zhao Yuxi thinks that Gu Tingzhou is willing to take out 100 million as a betrothal gift, which is enough, because he has only joined the institute for three months, and this month's salary has not been paid yet, so he does not have much money.

"Gu Tingzhou, your savings are more than I thought. You don't have to borrow money from me. If you are willing to give me 400 million, I am willing to give you 4000 million."

"No, I can't ask for your money."

"Four million is all you have, even with all the money you can borrow, but 400 million is just a small part of me. It's insignificant with me and I may never use it. But it will play its due role if it's with you."

"Thank you. After I give you the betrothal gift, shall we get married immediately?"

"I asked you about the dowry not because I want to marry you right away, but to help you get enough money to buy a house. I don't want to be your creditor, so I don't want to lend you the money. But it's unlikely that you will ask me for it, so I can only make an exchange. Do you really need me to marry you right away?"

"No, just make the decision." Gu Tingzhou was a little disappointed. It wasn't that he coveted the life after marriage, but he mistakenly thought he was very close to his goal. In fact, the goal was still so far away from him, not very far, but not very close either.

"I have a lot to do this year. When I have time, I'll go visit your family and make a decision after that, okay?"

"it is good."

For the first time, Zhao Yuxi felt that synaesthesia was a superfluous ability. She could see regrets, grievances, compromises, and tolerance. She could see them even without using this ability. She could see them, but she couldn't change them. No, she could change them. The musical notes blocked the order of the outside world and the eyes of outsiders. In this shining little world, there were only you and me. I was willing to give up a little bit of rules for you.

"Student Gu Tingzhou, do you know what conditions two people must meet before they can enter into marriage?"

"Love and material conditions."

The material conditions are there, and as for love, I guess I have it too. Even if I don't have it, it won't affect me being with him. The liking between us, the friendship between us, and the various feelings I have for him and he has for me are more solid than so-called love.

"Our conditions should be sufficient for marriage. Let's swear an oath. After that, we will be husband and wife. I'll go first. I am willing to become husband and wife with the person I love, Gu Tingzhou."

"I would like to be with me..."

"Student Gu Tingzhou, don't be so anxious. Your asymptote is stronger than mine. I will tell you my asymptote first, and it won't be too late for you to say this after you hear it. My asymptote is called synesthesia. The three functions of synesthesia are synesthesia of all things, true and false words, and sensory manipulation. I have some other asymptotes, which I will also tell you. Memory palace, cellular vision, mass transfer, and dream regression."

A note leaped out from her fingertips and landed on Gu Tingzhou.

Gu Tingzhuo closed his eyes, his face was hot and his body was shaking.

It turns out that this is your ability!

Zhao Yuxi reflected musical notes in her eyes: "It takes a lot of courage to make a promise in my eyes. Gu Tingzhou, are you ready?"

Gu Tingzhu opened his eyes and stared at her intently. From her shoulders to her arms, to her thighs, and then to her calves. His heart was beating very fast, but his tone was very firm: "It's done. I am willing to become husband and wife with the person I love, Zhao Yuxi."

"Student Gu Tingzhou, do you know whether this is true or false?"

Every word he said was like a sea of ​​flowers blooming before her eyes. Such words were obviously true.

Gu Tingzhu was not shy at all. He answered openly, "The truth."

"The promise I made to you is also true. Let me ask you a less serious question. Am I good-looking?"

"nice."

This statement is also true.

"Who is prettier, me or Song Yihan?" Zhao Yuxi posed a difficult question to Gu Tingzhu and also to herself. She wanted to hear a lie, but she wanted to have the courage to hear the truth. Perhaps, no matter how the other party answered, she would hear a lie. Perhaps, no matter how the other party answered, she must have the courage to hear the truth.

"Song Yihan is prettier." Gu Tingzhou wanted to lie to coax Zhao Yuxi, but she couldn't be coaxed. She could distinguish between truth and lies. Between taking shortcuts and telling the truth, Gu Tingzhou chose the latter.

"I think so. I've looked at her carefully, and she's indeed prettier than me." Although I was prepared to hear the truth, I still felt sad. However, this time when I was sad, the person I liked came to comfort me.

Gu Tingzhou put a little more strength into his arms. The invisible silk thread that was once wrapped around his arms and prevented him from reaching out was woven into a large net that could protect him from wind and rain. He opened his palms and pressed them against Zhao Yuxi's back. He felt the warmth from the other person, and he believed that the other person could also feel his warmth.
