Chapter 385: The Vast River Touches

After leaving Baiyun Pavilion, Mu Zhengguang and Xu's next stop was Qingchuan Pavilion.

Qingchuan Pavilion is on the other side of the Yangtze River, and the two took a bus to their destination.

The entrance to Qingchuan Pavilion is very simple. There are not many tourists at the entrance. Looking inside through the gate, there are still not many tourists.

After entering the cabinet, Mu Zhengguang's first feeling was that there was so much "fog" here, but this fog was not formed naturally, but was made with water pipes.

Mu Zhengguang's second feeling was that this place was too close to the river. There was green grass growing on the roadside, and if the line of green grass was pushed forward a little further, it would be water grass, and in front of the water grass was the Yangtze River. It seemed that if you crossed the grass, you could wash your hands with the water of the Yangtze River.

If people did not know in advance that the water source was the Yangtze River, they might think that this was just a park and that the aquatic plants relied on the pond in the park to thrive.

The two walked along the path, climbed the stairs, and came to the open space in front of Baiyun Pavilion.

“I saw the Yellow Crane Tower.”

Mu Zhengguang looked forward in the direction pointed by Xu's index finger. On the other side of the river, at the end of the bridge, there was a pagoda-shaped building, which was the Yellow Crane Tower. On the left side of the Yellow Crane Tower was a smaller "tower", which must be the Qingchuan Pavilion.

"I saw it too, Sister Xiao Xu."

"This is a good name, very creative and appropriate."

The two were only three months apart in age, so "sister" showed the age difference, while "Xiao Xu" made it seem less so. If Mu Zhengguang had simplified the name to "Xiao Xu", she might have been a little unhappy, but with the word "sister", there was nothing wrong with it.

Mu Zhengguang called Xu "Xiao Xu Sister" on a whim. Calling her "Xiao Xu" was too rude, and calling her "Sister" was too formal and distant. Combining the two was his idea, and Xu recognized his idea, and he was very happy.

"Ah."

"Come on, let's go take some pictures by the railing. There's a beautiful boat in the water. I'll see if I can include the boat as the background."

There were few tourists in Qingchuan Pavilion, and Xu easily found a suitable spot for taking photos.

They were leaning on the railing, with green trees, white boats, river water, bridges, tall buildings and the sky behind them.

After taking the photo, Mu Zhengguang turned around and looked at the Yangtze River and the bridge. He compared the length of the bus on the bridge and estimated the length of the section of the bridge above the water.

The answer he came up with was one thousand meters. The Yangtze River is about one thousand meters wide here.

How insignificant people are in front of the vastness of nature! If you don't see some scenery in person, you will never know how much truth and fiction others say about "being moved by the scenery". Mu Zhengguang and Xu walked around in the Qingchuan Pavilion Museum. Mu Zhengguang found that it seemed to be slightly larger than the Yellow Crane Tower Park. There were only two large buildings in the park, the Yellow Crane Tower and the White Cloud Pavilion, while there were three large buildings in the museum, the Qingchuan Pavilion, the Iron Gate Pass and the Yuji Palace.

Standing on the wall of Tiemenguan, what comes into view is no longer the river, but the road, bridge and shade trees. There are small paths hidden in the shade trees, and there are few people on the road, which makes it more peaceful and quiet.

Although there were more than two people on the city wall, it was too quiet here, a quietness that seemed to make people "ignore" the existence of others.

Mu Zhengguang put a finger on the shoulder strap of Xu's schoolbag. If he spread his palm and put it on her shoulder, even if Xu didn't mind such contact, he didn't have the courage and couldn't tolerate it happening at this time.

The finger gently fell, and Xu fell into a panic: Did Mu Zhengguang want to help me carry my schoolbag? If I asked him why he put his finger on the shoulder strap of the schoolbag, would he say "I want to help you carry your schoolbag"? How much has he learned? Does he understand my feelings for him and my expectations of him?
"Would you like to go to the same university as me?"

Traveling together is something that friends do, and getting admitted to the same university can barely be considered a requirement between friends. However, when a boy and a girl want to get admitted to the same university, the meaning is different. Both of them know the deep meaning behind this requirement.

Mu Zhengguang was very willing to apply to the same university as Xu, and was also willing to meet all the requirements she put forward in the future. However, there was one problem that could not be avoided: Xu's score was higher than his.

The two were admitted to the same university, but Xu was the one who suffered. Although the scores of different majors in a school are different, are the differences in the scores of the majors enough to make up for the differences in the college entrance examination scores?
"If our scores differ by less than 582 points, we can apply to the same university." Mu Zhengguang thought that he could get 590 and Xu could get . If they both performed at their original levels, the score difference should be less than points. In this way, applying to the same school would not be that difficult. If the score difference was more than points, he did not want Xu to compromise.

Less than 582 points? I'm afraid it's a little far-fetched. Mu Zhengguang estimated his score to be 600, and I estimated mine to be . If we want our scores to be less than points apart, he has to perform exceptionally well and I have to perform poorly. Will things happen as I imagined? Most likely not.

What if we put aside the score factor? What kind of reason would make him choose the same school as me? My score is higher, so I have the initiative. As long as I know how he filled in his application, I can modify my application according to his.

I can make choices without considering his feelings, so when my choice has a result, can I still ignore his feelings? I made this choice so that I can see him often when I go to college. But if my choice creates a gap between our hearts, I made a wrong choice.

In fact, getting into the same university is just my fantasy. When the gap between our scores is too big, this fantasy is seriously out of touch with reality and will bring pressure.

"I hope that we have at least two universities in the same choice, but the positions can be different. For example, if we both choose Guyuan University, this university is your first choice and my second choice. I want to keep the first position for my chance to enter a 985 university."

Xu's voice was filled with sadness and depression. She had abandoned her fantasy, the joy and happiness it brought her, and replaced them with regret and sorrow. Giving up fantasy and accepting reality sounds like a good thing, but it doesn't feel good to do it.

Aim for 985? You need at least 600 points. Your score estimation is always accurate. The difference between our scores must be more than points. The probability of us getting into the same school is very small. But it's okay this way. How can I let you suffer for me? We are both studying hard in our senior year. I know how hard it is to study and every point is hard-earned. How can I let you waste your points on me?
"Okay. I'll apply to the same schools as you, at least two."

"I have other conditions. The candidates for the same position must be in the same city. For example, my first choice is in Jujiang City, and your first choice must also be in Jujiang City. However, you just need to understand what I mean by 'must'. There is no need to strictly abide by it. As long as the distance is not too far, it's fine. I know that no matter how far away you are, as long as you want to see me, you will definitely set out, but this is too tiring. I don't know how God arranges it, but I don't want to give up too early, nor do I want to wait passively."

"I understand. Let's do what we can do and let nature take its course for the rest."
