Chapter 279: Things Change, Time Passes, and the Past

The light is moving, and the shadow is also moving slowly. Gu Tingzhou suddenly remembered that one night in his childhood, he walked under a street lamp. He said that the shadow was very long, and his mother said that it would be great if he could grow as tall as the shadow in the future. Many years have passed, and he has not grown as tall as the shadow, and he has never seen anyone with a shadow as tall as the shadow.

Asymptotes are not omnipotent. There are some things that even asymptotes cannot change. But there is a force in the world that is more powerful than asymptotes, and this force can change more things. This force is right beside him.

"Xiao Xi, can you hug me?"

Zhao Yuxi was concentrating on using musical notes to depict the traces of time. The light passed through the window, leaving shadows on the ground. The angle and length of the shadows indicated the passage of time and the changes in the world. When she heard Gu Tingzhou's voice, she immediately withdrew her attention. At this time, the light and shadows were still.

"Of course. Why do you suddenly want me to hug you?" Zhao Yuxi hugged her and gently asked him what he thought.

"Your love for me is more precious than my asymptote."

Zhao Yuxi didn't expect Gu Tingzhou to think so highly of her. She thought that this sentence was true when it was said by Gu Tingzhou, but it was a lie when it was said by her. Maybe he was not a very smart person, maybe he was not very good at pleasing girls, but this one sentence was better than thousands of false words.

In front of these words, she seemed to become the inferior and timid girl again. She didn't dare to look up, speak, or respond to his love.

She waved her hand and swept the dust off the floor again. Even if she threw her clothes on the floor, they wouldn't get dirty. Sitting on clothes wasn't as comfortable as sitting on a bed...

"Tingting, I'm not as good as you think."

Gu Tingzhou lowered his head, and their foreheads touched. He could clearly feel the other's warmth and her flustered heart.

"You are the best person in the world to me."

This time, Zhao Yuxi no longer denied it. She also thought that she was the best person in the world for Gu Tingzhou. She quietly observed his emotions and body. At this time, he didn't seem to have the interest to sit on the ground? Forget it, don't disturb him.

"I am your wife, so of course I have to treat you well. As the best person in the world to me, can you take some photos for me? I have worked so hard to paint this scenery, how can I let it disappear so easily? Right?"

Gu Tingzhu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

The two took photos of each other and also took photos together.

Looking at the photos, Zhao Yuxi said with emotion: "When I was in the first grade of elementary school, I didn't know there were things in the world that could take photos."

"Me too."

"Our campus life ends here. There are more important things waiting for us to do. Let's go to the next stop. I'll take you to see the old house where I have lived for many years."

The people in the classroom disappeared, but the light and shadows in the classroom were still moving.

The wind brought sand and dirt, and the spotless ground was soon covered with a very light layer of dust. The humid air touched the walls, and soon moss would grow there again.

The mission of this classroom and this building as a campus has long ended. Perhaps in the long run, insects and grass will occupy the classroom, and vines and shrubs will grow in the bricks and stones. People have left, they have all returned, and there are new students in this space, but the students are no longer human.

Gu Tingzhou saw a lot of moss, on the roadside, on the walls, in the corners, and in the yard.

Sister Zhao Yuxi's home is much simpler than the school. More than a decade ago, when Sister Zhao Yuxi saw the clean brick house in the school, she probably envied it from the bottom of her heart. Some things will not be erased by time. They always wander in memory. When you think of them this time, you feel sad, and when you think of them next time, you feel happy. After hundreds of times of alternating sadness and joy, the past is becoming less and less clear, but the scratches in your heart are becoming deeper and deeper.

"Your sister was really poor back then. But I stopped living in this house after I went to high school."

The notes had already run out, and Gu Tingzhou could not see her emotions. Just listening to her voice, one would not feel too sad. But on second thought, "I have not lived here since I went to high school." Does that mean that she had been living here before she went to high school? This is really a heartbreaking fact. After becoming the dean of the branch, she has amassed a lot of wealth. She has many houses, and her houses are filled with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry. Can these things make her feel a little more at ease? Can these things make her a little farther away from the past? Can they stop her from dreaming of her young and poor self in the long nights?

Gu Tingzhou had no answer. Perhaps, he didn't have an accurate answer in his heart either. Perhaps, as long as people didn't see this house, they wouldn't have such questions in their minds.

At this moment, a bold idea flashed through Gu Tingzhou's mind: destroy this house, destroy the campus, and destroy all the places that recorded her poverty.

If doing so could make her feel a little more at ease, he would make the thing in front of him disappear without hesitation.

"Student Gu Tingzhou, are you angry about me?"

"Ah."

"Don't be angry, what happened in the past is in the past." Zhao Yuxi reached out and touched the adobe. The action was simple, but she had lived here for more than ten years, and she had never put her hand on the wall of her hometown with a calm heart like today.

Zhao Yuxi closed her eyes, tears spreading across her face. She seemed to see her childhood self waving at her, and her heart was also waving at her childhood self. After many years, she finally had the courage, she was finally able to focus on the sadness in her heart in front of her beloved, watching "her" in the shadows and in the past gradually go away.

Gu Tingzhou didn't bring any tissues, so he wiped Zhao Yuxi's tears with his hands. He was observing, waiting, accompanying, and sharing, sharing her story, the sadness and joy in it.

Zhao Yuxi opened her eyes and stopped crying. The notes disappeared and she felt relieved, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Tingting, thank you. I'm lucky to have you by my side."

"You're welcome. I didn't do anything."

"But you are willing to do a lot for me, and that is enough. My wish is about to come true. My power is about to be strengthened. Your asymptotes have changed after the strengthening, but the original effects have been retained. I think the same is true for me."

"Sister Zhao Yuxi, what is your wish?" Gu Tingzhou did not intend to pry into her secrets, nor did he want to be the one who got her asymptote. Instead, he tried his best to help her and give to her.

Zhao Yuxi touched his head with the hand that was not touching the wall: "My wish is very similar to yours. Gu Tingzhou, you will be an adult soon. But my wish is not for you to be an adult. When that day comes, you will understand."

Is this how it feels to be touched on the head by a girl of the same age? No, it is because of her that this feeling is so sweet. Gu Tingzhou was filled with joy and gratitude.

I'm going to be an adult soon, does that mean more intimate contact? Is she ready? Then I have to be ready as soon as possible. I'm a boy, so I have to take the initiative and must not let her down.

Gu Tingzhou was lost in thought, and Zhao Yuxi saw his eyes and his expression. He was a very lovely and reliable person, and there was no one in the world more lovely and reliable than him. Entrusting the power to him was the best choice. The two of them made progress together and moved towards a better future together.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

On the morning of September 9, Gu Tingzhu sent Zhao Yuxi to the high-speed railway station.

"Give me another four days. I'll be back on Friday."

"it is good."

Because they both slept very late last night, they both woke up very late this morning and arrived at the station late. When she arrived in Guyuan City, it was already afternoon.

Zhao Yuxi returned to the big house, which was filled with a lot of money. She looked at the wealth in the warehouse that she could not spend in several lifetimes, and was shocked to find that all of this was boring and worthless. The real wealth in her life was not here, and no matter how much wealth she had, it would not change anything. In the future, there was no need to pursue these things.
