Chapter 376: No Return

As May approaches, the weather gets hotter.

One day in Chinese class, the teacher was explaining ways of expression. There was an excerpt of the original text of "Blessing" from the tutorial book, and the teacher read it all.

The last sentence of the original text is "Does a person have a soul after he dies?"

Mu Zhengguang and Xu answered "yes" almost at the same time, and their voices were loud enough for half of the class to hear.

There were many such interactions in the Chinese class, but this time, only the two of them participated.

There was a moment of silence in the classroom, and the teacher said, "Zhengguang said yes, maybe there are spirits."

Xu's answer was a pleasant surprise to Mu Zhengguang. He thought of four words: "Telepathy". The teacher's supplement was also valuable. He thought that if he could get a higher score in Chinese in the college entrance examination, maybe the teacher would get some bonus for it.

May 5th and 28th, the seventh mock exam.

The examination rooms for this mock exam are no longer assigned based on scores, but are randomly assigned.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu were not in the same examination room.

Mu Zhengguang and Xu both scored 586.

The last mock test also had simple questions, probably to boost students’ confidence. After all, teachers often say, “The college entrance exam questions are simpler than the ones we actually do.” Therefore, the last mock test had simple questions, which was in line with the college entrance exam. Randomly assigning exam rooms was also to keep pace with the college entrance exam.

In the last mock exam, I finally got the same score as her. It would be nice if we could get the same score in the college entrance exam, but it couldn't be 586. For Xu, 586 was not enough and was not her upper limit.

After the seventh mock exam, Mu Zhengguang brought his mobile phone to school every day and kept it turned on.

On May 5, the graduation photo was taken. Before the official photo was taken, he had already taken photos of some of his classmates and also took photos of other classes.

White T-shirt and casual pants.

There are two places printed on the upper left corner of the white T-shirt: Pinglin High School and Starry Sea.

Below the location are two dates.

2019年09月01日08：00、2022年06月08日17：30。

There is an arrow between the two dates with the number three (22) printed on it.

The school and classes are all here.

A time corresponds to a place, with an arrow in the middle, like a ticket, a one-way ticket, which sets off well for this journey with no return.

The only drawback is that there should be another arrow after the second date and the second location, pointing to the future. Moreover, on June 2022, 06, we have not yet gone to the sea of ​​stars, or even seen the sea. It is too early to put "the sea of ​​stars" on this date.

However, 2022:06 on June 08, 17, is too "narrow" a date. This is the time when the English test ends, and the college entrance examination ends. The purpose of the exam is to get a score. Is it appropriate to replace the stars and the sea with a name on the list of successful candidates? It is not appropriate because the scores have not been released on the day of the exam.

However, few things in the world are perfect, so let's just say the stars and the sea are the stars and the sea. Besides, the current class uniform design is the result of everyone's vote, and it is the choice of the majority, so why bother?

After taking the graduation photo, how many days are left until graduation? If we count according to the end of the college entrance examination, there are still nine days, and if we count according to the graduation ceremony, there are only four days. It is better to count according to a more distant date, and count a few more days, as if the remaining time is longer, and the time we have is also longer.

June on campus is very short.

Mu Zhengguang found that more and more people were bringing their cell phones to school, and Xu also brought hers. More and more people were wearing exquisite clothes, but Xu was not one of them. She still dressed so ordinary on campus, like an ordinary girl with good grades and good looks. The day to say goodbye to classmates was coming soon, but there seemed to be no yearbook in the classroom. No one handed him a yearbook to write in, he didn't buy a yearbook, and he didn't see anyone passing around yearbooks.

It turns out that writing in the yearbook is not popular in high school! Everyone has grown up, and one page of the yearbook can’t contain everything they want to say. Those long and affectionate words are all in the chat records and small notes.

These days, Mu Zhengguang's insomnia has become more serious.

He took group photos with many classmates. There were dozens of photos of him and Xu, and dozens of individual photos of each of them.

He walked from one side of the campus to the other, from the school gate to the farthest place from the school gate, and took photos with the flowers, plants, pavilions and towers in the school.

There were more and more group photos in his phone, and there seemed to be more and more things to comfort him and hold on to, but his insomnia did not improve.

Time passes, how can it stop?

Keep moving forward and never look back.

Just don’t worry about insomnia. Take advantage of this time to do more exercises.

Let’s take a rest during class. The teacher hasn’t been teaching much these days anyway.

In the early morning of June 6, Mu Zhengguang suffered from severe insomnia. He checked the time three times at night: 3:1, 57:2, and 35:3. It was almost dawn, and he couldn't fall asleep, so he looked at the group photo. As he looked at it, tears started to fall.

He seemed unaware that he was crying, without sound, without feeling.

Tears fell on the phone screen, and he saw it, and realized what a sad, unforgettable, and regrettable thing he was going through. However, he and Xu in the photo were so happy and carefree.

When it was dawn, Mu Zhengguang went to school with his cell phone.

After the Chinese teacher finished explaining the mock test papers, the last few classes were for free review.

Everyone sat in the classroom, those who wanted to recite could recite, those who wanted to practice calligraphy could practice, and those who wanted to say goodbye could chat a little, but the voices could not be too loud. If you didn't want to do anything, you could just sit there and be in a daze.

If you want to watch someone carefully, these last few classes are a rare opportunity. You may never have the chance to watch others study seriously in the future.

At the end of this journey, everyone walks a different path in life, and no one can go back and meet again. If there is, it can only be in a dream.

The last class of physics, biology, and chemistry was also for free review, while the English teacher spent a special class chatting with everyone.

To this day, Mu Zhengguang's English score has never exceeded 115, and it will probably be the same in the next exam. His score is not high, but he does not hate the English class in his senior year.

The teacher would occasionally call everyone "silly boy", and Xu also called him that. The teacher would occasionally talk about her son, saying that her son believed he had absolute freedom. In the context of the teacher's words, "absolute freedom" had a very obvious implication, which was that he didn't want to study hard. The teacher said, "Don't worry about him, whatever he does in the exam is fine", and then she laughed. The teacher's son was also in his third year of high school.

In the last math class, the teacher focused on a few questions, saying that they might be tested in the college entrance examination.

Then, the teacher focused on analyzing the multiple-choice questions. The answers to the 12 multiple-choice questions were mostly 2334, for example, 2 A, 3 B, 3 C, 4 D, and there were also 3333 and 2244. If you are very confident about the first questions, you can deduce the answer to the th question. If you have no idea about the th question, then choose D.

This math class was the high school math class with the most laughter that Mu Zhengguang had ever heard. The students were laughing, and the teacher was laughing too.

After school at noon, many people stood at the railings, throwing torn pieces of books and papers down and folded airplanes far away. Mu Zhengguang and Xu also joined in.

In the afternoon, graduation ceremony.
