Chapter 278 Time Occupies Everything

After lunch, Zhao Yuxi took Gu Tingzhou out. She held his hand and said, "Let's go and see where I go to school. Let me remind you first, times have changed, so be mentally prepared."

Gu Tingzhou imagined a scene like this: the uneven ground paved with red bricks was overgrown with weeds, and all kinds of insects were flying in the grass. When the bricks were turned over, moist black soil and twisted earthworms could be seen.

No matter how dilapidated a school is, it will look like this at most.

He came to the iron gate and then he realized he was wrong.

Only a small part of the ground was paved with red bricks. The rest of the ground was covered with weeds and shrubs, and some unknown trees had grown as tall as a person.

"Be careful, there may be snakes here, open the asymptotic zone."

There's a snake? Hearing this, Gu Tingzhou immediately opened the asymptotic domain, and he heard the sound of wind blowing through the soil.

Under the bricks and stones, there are many small insects, which are much smaller than earthworms. Deep in the grass, there are many creatures that are larger than earthworms, including cats, hedgehogs, mice, and snakes.

Zhao Yuxi asked him: "Did you hear the snake's sound?"

"heard it."

Several ice balls with a diameter of more than one meter appeared above the grass and trees. The ice balls were slowly rotating and seemed to be about to fall down at any time.

"You can just trap the snakes with ice. There's no need to smash them to death. This grass belongs to them, not us. Their home is the grass, but ours is not. We are just passing through. Go further inside. I want to show you my classroom."

The ice ball broke, and Gu Tingzhu used the broken ice to make a cage and locked the snake inside.

"Okay, the snakes are all trapped in the ice."

Zhao Yuxi pointed forward and said, "That two-story building is our teaching building. It is also the teacher's office building. Everyone is inside."

Gu Tingzhou looked up and saw that it was an incomplete two-story building with one wall collapsed, revealing the scenery inside the classroom. In addition, there was no railing on the upper floor, either because it was taken down by someone or blown away by the wind.

"I only studied here in first, second and third grade. The classroom I was in in first grade should be this one."

Zhao Yuxi pushed open the door, and the world inside was even more desolate than the world outside. A blackboard, a table, two chairs, a wall corroded by moss, a grayish-white floor, and a lamp that had fallen to the ground.

It's dark in the room, but bright outside the window.

"No one has been here for a long time. In the past, there were very few people in the class. The first and second graders sat in the same classroom. This class was for the first graders, and the next class was for the second graders, but the teacher for both classes was the same. It was very cold in the winter, and there was a coal stove in front of the classroom. I didn't like that stove. Because I didn't get to warm myself by the fire, but I had to pay for coal."

Zhao Yuxi became more and more sad as she spoke. When she said "pay money to buy coal", she almost cried. She felt wronged and sad. The past is gone forever. The money paid for buying coal can't be taken back. Even if she can get it back, it's meaningless.

The next winter will come soon, but there will never be a stove lit here again, there will never be a few people gathered around the stove again, and there will never be people who pay for coal but cannot warm themselves by the fire.

The weather is very hot today, but the temperature of time here is always cold.

The insects are noisy, the classroom is quiet, the wind blows through the leaves, time occupies everything here, nothing is exempt, including the wind in the sky, the birds on the trees, the insects on the leaves, the snakes in the grass. It's just that some things become more prosperous under the guidance of time, while some things become more broken and unrecognizable.

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, I want to see how you feel." Gu Tingzhou was not sure why Zhao Yuxi was so sad. Was it just because of the environment, the temperature, and the past events here? Zhao Yuxi, a powerful ancient, the dean of the second-level branch, and the spokesperson of the King of Dongting Lake, would she cry because of the recollection of the past and the reminder of the past?

Zhao Yuxi was somewhat helpless. Gu Tingzhou was still too young after all. There were many things he could not think of and many things he could not see through. She cast a note on Gu Tingzhou. He could also use the ability of empathy for all things. Anger, sadness, grievance, sadness, regret, pity, nostalgia, and loss were all clearly visible at a glance.

Sister Zhao Yuxi, I understand how you feel."

With the help of the musical notes, you understood my mood, which is not something to be proud of. However, something that made Zhao Yuxi proud happened immediately.

Gu Tingzhou hugged her from behind and whispered softly: "Sister Zhao Yuxi, I apologize to you on behalf of the whole world."

Zhao Yuxi immersed herself in his arms for a moment. She didn't want to speak or open her eyes. Just standing there quietly, she could feel the most precious and sincere kindness in the world.

"From the moment I fell in love with you, I have forgiven the whole world. Thank you."

Joy, satisfaction, relief, emotion, appreciation, admiration, excitement, and pride are also clearly visible at a glance.

"You're welcome. Take the note back."

"I've given you the notes, just keep using them. Are you afraid to look at me?" Zhao Yuxi's voice was very soft. If she continued to speak loudly at this time, although her emotions could be seen, it would inevitably create a gap.

There was a hint of coquettishness in Sister Zhao Yuxi's words. This was not what he saw, but what he heard and felt.

"Yes."

"You and I are husband and wife, so it's okay for us to look at each other a few more times. From now on, you can look as long as I don't say you can't." Zhao Yuxi gently pushed his arm away, took two steps forward, turned around, and stood face to face with him.

"Yeah." Gu Tingzhou looked at her a few more times obediently, but the moment she turned around, he couldn't help but look away.

"Tingting, do you think I love you?" Zhao Yuxi blew a breath, and notes flashed in her eyes. The effect of this note is also the synaesthesia of all things.

"Love."

"I don't plan to have children in the near future, but that doesn't mean we have to keep our distance. I won't let you wait for me too long. I will definitely take on the responsibilities of being a wife, but before that, please give me a little more time and take the initiative."

Zhao Yuxi hesitated before because she was afraid that she would not have the chance to regret. Now she hesitated because she wanted to give more things to Gu Tingzhou, but Gu Tingzhou was an ancient, and she didn't dare to entrust her wishes completely to him.

Gu Tingzhou stared at Zhao Yuxi for a while. Since they got married, Zhao Yuxi had seen his full face many times, but he had never seen Zhao Yuxi's full face. However, the other party did not deliberately hide it from her. As long as he said he wanted to see it, the other party would let him see it. This was certain.

"You are very proactive towards me, but I am not very proactive towards you." Gu Tingzhou looked into her eyes and nervously admitted his "mistake".

"When two people are together, one of them will always be more proactive. This is normal. Your strength has been restored. Let's go to your house tonight."

His physical strength has been restored, this is a fact that Zhao Yuxi saw with the musical notes. But his clothes are very thin, even without the musical notes, if you look carefully, you can see it.

Gu Tingzhou felt his face getting a little hot, he just smiled at her and said nothing.

"Let's talk about tonight tonight. I don't remember what the classroom looked like before, but I can remember what it will look like in the future." Thousands of notes appeared around Zhao Yuxi. Those notes entered the ceiling, the walls, and the ground. The ashes dissipated, the moss disappeared, and the classroom became clean again.
