Chapter 371 A Story Like the Future

Cui Yunqing can see people's regrets, which is an ability she has in the real world.

In the world of regret, she can see all kinds of emotions that are hostile to regret. Some of these emotions are relatively positive, such as happiness and joy, while some are relatively negative, such as hatred and anger.

Jealousy, sadness, disappointment, depression, discouragement, timidity... In some cases, these emotions can become contributors to regret, and she can see that.

Cui Yunqing can adjust the ups and downs, every blade of grass and every tree in the world of regret at any time according to people's emotional changes. She decided to give Mu Zhengguang a little bit of resistance, and then take back this resistance that did not belong to Mu Zhengguang at the right time.

The third mock exam took place on December 12th and 18th.

For the high school juniors in this school, exams are a rare opportunity to relax. During exams, there are no morning and evening self-study classes, no homework, and you won’t see your teachers or most of your classmates.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu had similar scores, and the examination rooms were divided according to scores. This time, they were in the same examination room.

The math test was not difficult. From the first question to the last, I did some calculations and guessed, and I encountered almost no resistance. After finishing the test, there was still almost one class period of time left.

Mu Zhengguang raised his head and looked at the familiar figure. Time passed so quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already the third mock exam.

After the fourth mock exam is the winter vacation, after the seventh mock exam is the college entrance examination, and there is no so-called eighth mock exam.

There is no need for a 100-day countdown to the college entrance examination. The changes in seasons, temperature, and clothes are constantly reminding people that the time they will stay in the high school classroom will not be too long.

New Year's Day is coming soon. It's Saturday, so schools should be closed for two days, right? It's still early for the college entrance examination, but next year is just around the corner.

The exam is over and the results are announced.

I guessed correctly on that multiple-choice question. After all, after eliminating two wrong answers, the probability of guessing correctly was as high as 50%.

Mathematics, 136.

Total score, 584.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu had the same score.

He returned to his seat in the middle of the classroom and sat behind Xu again.

We are young and in the prime of our life. All the regrets in the world are probably not worth mentioning.

Cui Yunqing invested a lot of energy to maintain the regrettable world that existed in name only. She was waiting for Mu Zhengguang's good luck to run out, and then she could let go and launch a fatal attack.

The last New Year’s Eve in high school was not as lively and grand as the first one.

The thick test papers suppressed the vague atmosphere of joy. In addition, some people were counting the days to get through the three years of high school. The only reason they celebrated New Year's Day was that their heavy schoolwork was about to end.

Mu Zhengguang heard someone say this. This is not something worth celebrating. When I first entered high school, I heard the teacher say that these three years were very short and passed in the blink of an eye. At that time, he thought that the three years of junior high school were very long, and the three years of high school should also be very long, so how could they pass in the blink of an eye?
Looking back now, these three years seem to have really passed in a flash. Every day, I went to school, classes, and physical education classes, and then I was done with homework. I did homework during class, during self-study, and when I got home.

The first two years, which were devoid of important people and important things, seem insignificant in my memories and can be seen at a glance.

There are certainly many things worth reminiscing about the past few months spent with the important people, but when I think about waking up tomorrow to enter a new year, and waking up some day in June next year...how many more times will we be able to meet each other in this life?

You two have the same weakness! No wonder you are a pair! Cui Yunqing found her chance, and she was sure that it would not be long before she could launch a winning attack.

On New Year's Eve, Mu Zhengguang asked Xu to go to the movies, and Xu agreed.

They met at the school gate. Mu Zhengguang remembered that Xu was wearing a white coat during class today, but now she was wearing a gray coat with a sky blue sweater underneath, which was just added. Also, her hairstyle was different, from a low ponytail to loose hair.

Xu greeted him generously: "Brother, do I look good?"

From nervousness to confusion, and then to relief, Mu Zhengguang thought of several answers, but he didn't say any of them.

"If you don't want to answer, forget it. You treat me to a movie, and I'll treat you to milk tea. Let's go, I know a very expensive milk tea shop, I'll treat you."

Mu Zhengguang followed behind her, and the two kept a distance of about one meter.

This distance made Mu Zhengguang and Cui Yunqing regretful.

Xu Bi attacked before me! That's not how the power of regret is used! I don't want this insignificant regret! What I want is an unforgettable, invincible regret! Stories in the world of regret shouldn't develop like this!
Seeing that Mu Zhengguang's regrets quickly faded after getting the milk tea, Cui Yunqing felt better: Before you fall into the unforgettable trap I set for you, you must not fall into the trap set by Xu for you!

The cinema is on the fifth floor of the shopping mall.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu took the elevator to this floor, walked to the right after getting out of the elevator, and walked to the end. The cinema was in that corner.

There were a lot of people next to the cinema, and the boys and girls walking side by side were chatting happily.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu no longer kept a distance of one meter from each other. They held milk tea, walked side by side, and had a great conversation.

Compared with Mu Zhengguang, Xu is an extrovert.

Mu Zhengguang saw Xu chatting with two girls holding hands. The two girls were not tall and might be junior high school students. They were talking about movies. After the chat, one girl asked, "Is he your boyfriend?" Xu replied, "No, we are brother and sister."

Mu Zhengguang felt helpless.

When they were in junior high school, they could go out to the movies with their classmates, but I had never been to the cinema when I was in junior high school.

They were able to live in the city when they were in junior high school, but I still lived in town when I was in junior high school.

Many regrets came one after another.

Cui Yunqing became angrier and angrier as he watched: This Mu Zhengguang is really disappointing! Doesn't he know how to refute it? He refuted it, and then had a big fight with Xu, and the trap of regret was formed! Or, he refuted it, Xu accepted it, and the relationship between the two changed. This dream will become more beautiful, and the regret hidden deep in the dream will also expand.

Mu Zhengguang has a problem, Xu has a problem too. In her heart, does she really just regard Mu Zhengguang as a younger brother? Is this possible? Classmates, friends, siblings, why can't they go one step further? What is she waiting for? What is she thinking?
Did she want to trample on Mu Zhengguang's feelings for her? Impossible, right? Who would sacrifice so much just to trample on someone else's feelings for themselves? Her devotion to Mu Zhengguang was sincere, and this kind of devotion could be called love. But this was not the love between lovers.

Maybe this little girl still hasn't figured out some things. When I was her age, my understanding of love and responsibility was far inferior to hers. If compared with Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze, the gap is even greater. I will wait a little longer until she figures it out and decides to take a further step, or decides to give up.

At the beginning of the movie, Xu took off his coat and put it on his legs.

The movie ended and the two walked out of the cinema, but Xu hadn't put on his coat yet.

"Mu Zhengguang, do I look good?"

Mu Zhengguang stared at her drooping coat sleeves and slowly replied, "It looks good."

In a world of regret, the two people’s story in 2021 ends here.
