Chapter 294 The Power of Two

On October 10, Mu Zhengguang, Xu Yingze and their families came to Xuyun Pavilion.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, Gu Tingzhou and Zhao Yuxi followed closely and went up to the second floor.

There were four tables in the box. Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying sat at table 1, and their parents, grandparents sat at table 2.

Zhao Yuxi remembered that she was also at Table 1.

It was not the first time that Mu Zhengguang's parents had seen those two people. They came on their son's birthday, and they came again this time, which was enough to show that they had a special relationship with their son.

Gu Tingzhou handed a rectangular box to Mu Zhengguang: "Open it and take a look. It's not expensive, but I made it myself."

Mu Zhengguang lifted the box and opened the lid. A blue sword was lying on the red cloth. The sword was made of some unknown material, but it was shining brightly, a bit like a light bulb.

"This sword has little lethality, and is mainly for viewing. Try it out to see if it works for you. If it doesn't, I'll modify it."

Gu Tingzhu used extremely light materials to make the sword body, but he increased the thickness of the sword to five millimeters, so that even if it hits a person, it will not cause serious injuries.

Mu Zhengguang placed the box on the table, carefully grasped the hilt of the sword, and slowly lifted it up. Only then did he realize that the weight of the sword was mainly concentrated on the hilt. The hilt carved from blue crystal was heavier than the sword body.

This sword is slender and glows. It may not be very convenient to use as a weapon, but this sword satisfies his fantasy of swords in his youth. His fingers slid back and forth on the blade, like turning the pages of a book. The book of past events was quietly spread out. Many years ago, he took a slender dead branch and broke the low leaves and weeds in spring. The sky at that time was probably as blue and transparent as this sword.

"Thank you, I like this sword very much."

Gu Tingzhou tried hard to suppress his joy and pride: "As long as you like it."

"Come, come, take a look at my work. Xu Yingze, this is the crown I gave you. It's very cheap, but it was made by me, so it means a lot."

The lid of the box opened, revealing an antique blue crown.

The base of the crown is nearly circular, with many metal carvings on the top. The blue metal is inlaid with blue gemstones, and the relationship between the two is like branches and fruits.

Mu Zhengguang's parents were thinking that these two people were actually their mutual friends.

"Would you like to try it on and see if it fits? There's also a little surprise. The sword is made of the same material as the crown."

Xu Ying's smile deepened. Zhao Yuxi was always so thoughtful. The same material could be used as a sword or a crown. Such creativity and thoughtfulness were rare.

Xu Ying put the crown on her head, and Zhao Yuxi took out a mirror from her pocket at the right time.

Xu Ying was no longer reserved. She looked at herself in the mirror and smiled: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's just a small gift."

The guests gradually arrived, and table number one was the first to be filled. Here were their colleagues, their friends, their brothers and sisters.

At the beginning and end of the dinner, people saw a girl wearing a crown and a boy with a sword next to his chair. Both of them were about to reach the third step. They were very close to each other. They would pick up food for each other. They would probably get closer in the future.

The two ancients left immediately after finishing their meal. They came early and left early as well.

Zhao Yuxi was eager to find a quiet place to slowly review what she had seen and heard today.

During the meal, she kept watching the notes in her eyes. She was not mainly observing the two people, but the people around them. The emotions of those strangers interested her.

The dinner was ostensibly to celebrate their upcoming third level, but in fact it was to "open their relationship." How many people could see this fact? For those who could see this fact, their thoughts would be reflected in their emotions and actions. For example, they would frequently look at the crown and sword. At this time, the crown and sword were no longer ornaments, but items that represented status. They even had the same meaning as wedding rings. Zhao Yuxi was very happy that the crown and sword she gave away could help those two people.

In some people's eyes and in some people's hearts, they tacitly accepted that these two people were a couple. Zhao Yuxi saw that "some people" were not just one or two, nor were they just ten or twenty. The expressions of the guests, from doubt to calmness, represented everything. When they first came in, they saw other people's families, who were all very, very strange people, but when they thought about it again, they would understand why other people's families also came, because these two families are actually one family. Because they are one family, everyone gathered here.

Gu Tingzhou followed Zhao Yuxi to her residence in Qichuan City.

Zhao Yuxi took out an ice cream from the refrigerator and threw it to him: "Xu Yingze and Mu Zhengguang are a good match, and their relatives have also noticed this."

"Their goal has been achieved."

"Yes, it's done. Although this is not a wedding, it also serves as a part of a wedding. Next we have to plan our wedding carefully. We are not far from the fourth level."

"Ah."

"We can refer to the order in which they arrange seats. There must be rules for who should sit together and who should not sit together, who is close to the host and who is far from the host. If all these things are taken into consideration, everything will appear orderly."

"What if someone we didn't invite comes?"

"I will also reserve seats for them in advance. Gu Tingzhou, please accompany me for a walk in the city this afternoon, and we will go back to your house in the evening."

"it is good."

Towards evening, the two had dinner in Qichuan City and took the high-speed rail to Yuqing City.

After arriving home, Zhao Yuxi held Gu Tingzhou in her arms and pushed him forward: "Tingting, let me help you take a bath today."

Gu Tingzhou didn't understand what Zhao Yuxi meant, but since Zhao Yuxi wanted to help him take a bath, he had no reason to refuse.

"it is good."

She said she was helping him take a bath, but actually she was doing it together.

In the bathroom and in the bedroom, the two were frank with each other.

Zhao Yuxi looked at his skin and bones, his words and actions, and whispered, "Gu Tingzhou, I'm ready, are you?"

"I'm ready too." Gu Tingzhou constructed similar pictures in his mind again and again, just to be able to say this sentence as calmly as possible at this moment.

The two gradually moved closer and merged, but in the remaining distance, at the last moment, Zhao Yuxi wavered again: "If I ask you to stop now, will you stop?"

Gu Tingzhou answered without hesitation: "Yes."

As he spoke, he raised his body and moved further away from Zhao Yuxi. Although he was further away, he could see her more clearly. She was lying on the bed, with fear and yearning in her eyes.

This is the truth. Zhao Yuxi saw it.

She had to see it, otherwise she would still doubt whether she was doing the right thing and whether she was acting too hastily.

When Zhao Yuxi saw this sincere and correct answer, all her doubts were swept away: I didn’t make a mistake in choosing the right person, and I didn’t make a mistake in what I was going to do. I didn’t make a mistake in waiting until today to do this. After attending that wedding that wasn’t called a wedding, we both had attachment in our hearts. In Gu Tingzhou, I saw a familiar but stronger emotion, and I also had this emotion in me. It was an emotion that came from being touched by love. The emergence of this emotion proves people’s thirst for love.

"Then come in."

Joy and pain coexist.

Zhao Yuxi used her arms to support her upper body with great effort, and said word by word: "Gu Tingzhou, I want you to always remember the blood I shed for you today."

Gu Tingzhou's heart surged, and he easily said the oath of giving everything: "Yes. If someone wants to hurt you one day, I will fight with all my strength until my blood runs out."

Zhao Yuxi touched his face and said, "Forget it. If that day really comes, you should run away quickly. You are more capable than me, so it will be easier for you to escape than for me."

"No."

"Gu Tingzhou, I want you to give me a little bit of your color, are you willing?"

"willing."

"Don't you ask me what color I am? If you don't have this color, you will lose your asymptote. Will you still give it to me?"

"Yes." Although Gu Tingzhou didn't think Zhao Yuxi could do it, he was ready to hand over the asymptote to her. In order to transfer the asymptote, the desire to connect with the asymptote must be realized. Giving the color to her does not meet the conditions. But what if there is an exception? He hopes that such an exception exists, and exists in him. In this way, he can give more to Zhao Yuxi.

Zhao Yuxi was silent for a while until tears welled up in her eyes: "We made the same choice."

Gu Tingzhu looked at the blood and tears, stretched out his arms and embraced her, trying to comfort her heart together.

Feeling the warmth of another person coming from her chest, Zhao Yuxi blew a breath and wiped her tears from the corners of his eyes: "I want the color in your eyes."

"it is good."

Taking away the color from his eyes will not affect his vision, nor will it change the color of his eyes. This is just a form, a form of realizing a wish. With this form, with the asymptote, an impossible wish will become a wish that is bound to be realized. There are colorless notes in Zhao Yuxi's eyes, the notes turn black, and then disappear, and the wish is realized.

The name of this wish is: Someone voluntarily gives me the color of their eyes.

Additional conditions: This color and this person are what I like and I approve of them.

"Gu Tingzhu, have you received my power?"

"Got it. I'll return it to you right away." The other party's asymptote fell on him, and Gu Tingzhou felt the weight at the first moment.

"No need, I'll leave it with you first. You were willing to let Mu Zhengguang help you realize your wish, and I was willing to let you help me realize my wish. I finally caught up with you, and I'm finally closer to you, Tingting."

Listening to these gentle words, Gu Tingzhou felt as if he was being melted. At this moment, outside of this room, what else in the world was important? Was there anyone else worth his second glance?
The person under him is willing to accompany him and give him her strength. How much should he give in order to repay her love and trust? Only by entrusting his body and heart to the other person can he feel a little more at ease and gaze at the other person's eyes for a long time with peace of mind.

"Zhao Yuxi, I love you, and I want to be with you forever."

"Okay, let's record the length of 'forever' together. Before that, I'll record your length first. Come back soon and finish what you haven't done yet."

"Ah."

His body and mind are on the other person, and the other person's strength and expectations are on him.

The next morning, the two woke up, hugged each other tightly without any cover.

Zhao Yuxi rested her head on his stomach and looked at his legs: "Do you want to continue?"

"Yes." Gu Tingzhu proved his vitality in a boyish way.

Zhao Yuxi stretched out her hand to measure the opponent's vitality, then turned over and pressed down.

When her passion faded, her sweat fell, and her heart settled, she began to think about her own affairs.

"I want to know the name of my new power, and what the Asymptote entity looks like."

Gu Tingzhu summoned a shell: "Perception."

Zhao Yuxi couldn't hide her smile. Shell? This entity looks like a child's toy, right? But it's not bad. Gu Tingzhou's asymptote entity looks like a child's stationery, almost. They're all good.

"Colorful shells. Are the effects of synaesthesia and musical notes still there?"

Zhao Yuxi cares a lot about synesthesia and the effect of sound. If these are gone, then her enhancement cannot be considered a real enhancement.

"Yes. It's all in the color of the shell."

"I use colors to store power, and you use scales to store power. They are very similar. Gu Tingzhou, we are a real couple now. Do you have anything to say to me?"

Gu Tingzhou put the shell in her hand and placed the ruler on the shell: "Yes. Thank you."

"You're welcome. I just did what I had to do. You must protect yourself in the future. Otherwise, my power will disappear."

"Yes."

On October 10, Mu Zhengguang and Xu Ying were having a dinner together with their brothers and sisters, and the dinner was held in the house where Mu Zhengguang used to live.

The two hosts sat in the living room watching TV while the six guests were busy in the kitchen.

The guests are busy washing and cutting vegetables. Today they are having hotpot and there is no need to cook.

After lunch, they had dinner together. Mu Zhengguang asked them to stay at his house, but they all refused.

Before the guests left, they cleaned the house and took away the garbage.

"I originally wanted my brothers and sisters to live on my side, and your brothers and sisters to live on your side. But now they are all gone, and the beds we prepared are no longer useful."

"Are you leaving too?" After saying this, Mu Zhengguang realized that this question was not very polite.

"I don't have to leave. You live in my house, but I haven't lived in yours."

"You can stay at my place tonight."

"it is good."

October 2020, 10 is the day when the two of them enter the first level.

October 2021, 10, was the day when Mu Zhengguang got up in the morning to wash his quilt cover and pants.

Xu Ying got up even earlier. She sat in the living room. On the coffee table in front of her were an opened cup of uniced milk tea and an unopened cup of iced milk tea.

"Little classmate, do you need to wash clothes again?"

"Correct."

The clearing world was unfolding, and Xu Ying walked to his side, pinched his quilt, and told him a secret: "Have you noticed that our power is different from before?"

After getting up, Mu Zhengguang was busy packing his clothes and quilt. He did not expand the asymptotic domain and did not pay attention to the subtle changes in his emotions.

After hearing his classmate's question, Mu Zhengguang did not give a negative answer. He unfolded the asymptotic domain and summoned the entity. An indescribable sense of impact permeated him, and the power far beyond the past made him feel relaxed and happy.

A blue light lit up in the room, like a star, which was the new asymptote entity.

"It's also a ball of light. You won't be able to use domain blessing, countdown and acceleration timing in the future. Adapt as soon as possible." Xu Ying waved her hand, her asymptote entity appeared, and another blue ball of light rose.

Mu Zhengguang was overjoyed: We have more similarities. Similar power represents similar thoughts. Our future has been connected long before the past.

"Our asymptote entities are the same?"

"The appearance is similar, but the temperature is different. And there's good news. When the distance between you and me is smaller than the domain radius, I can double the domain radius. Your power and my power have finally merged into one."

In the early morning, Xu Ying was disturbed by strange emotions and woke up from her sleep. After that, she summoned the light ball, left the house, found an open place to test the new entity and the original ability, and walked far away to estimate the distance. On the way back, she bought two cups of milk tea.

"When the distance between you and me is less than the domain radius", this conclusion is not drawn out of thin air. It was discovered by Ying when he was looking in the direction of home and traveling alone. After getting up, he was eager to do his own things and ignored the other person at home, but the other person always thought about him and cared about him, which made him ashamed and grateful.

"I can double the domain radius." This is amazing good news. After the domain radius is doubled, even the Ancients may not be able to suppress them at the domain radius level.

Mu Zhengguang let go, and Xu Ying also let go, and the quilt fell to the ground.

Mu Zhengguang stretched out his hand, Xu Ying also stretched out his hand, and the two hugged each other.

"Thank you for telling me this, Senior. I doubled the radius of the domain. Did you suffer any damage?"

"No. I'll also double the domain radius."

"Why did this change happen?" Mu Zhengguang was thinking that the asymptotic entity had changed and the domain radius had doubled. These were all unexpected surprises, but why did these things happen today? What were the conditions for "integration"?
"Because we have become each other's family. You live in my house, and I live in yours. Little classmate, we can also use the elemental dissolution that only third-order asymptotes can use. Do you want to go and see the place I went this morning?"

"it is good."

Dissolved into another world, the people who walked together still walked together. In this space with only distance and direction, the two people kept a certain distance and the same direction, with "fire" in front and "light" behind.

Xu Ying first exited the state of element mutual dissolution. This is a corner of the park.

Mu Zhengguang didn't see anyone else, but he still felt uneasy.

"I'm sorry, I asked you to leave before you finished your work. Do you want to go back and do your work first? I'll wait for you here."

"Ah."

After returning home, Mu Zhengguang took a shower and changed his clothes. When he came, he also brought out the milk tea on the coffee table.

Starting from the park, the two people's footprints spread all over the city. The asymptotic domain unfolds, sweeping over every blade of grass, every grain of sand, every brick in the city... In the world after mutual integration, there are many more familiar distances and directions.
