Chapter 389: The Lake is in a Panic

During the ride, Mu Zhengguang and Xu were very close and could be seen without looking back.

Mu Zhengguang asked Xu: "Should we ride the shared bikes around the lake?"

"No, it's too far to go around the lake, dozens of kilometers. We can just go to where the cable car is and then ride back. However, if we still have a lot of time, we can ride a little further and come back just in time to see the sunset."

Riding a shared bike for dozens of kilometers is too difficult. Even if it can be done, it will probably seriously affect tomorrow's schedule. Mu Zhengguang no longer expects to circle the lake, but instead looks forward to the scene when riding the cable car. What would it feel like to look down at the ground from a high altitude, and to look down from a clear angle?
The two rode for nearly an hour before finally reaching the ticket office. After buying the tickets, they queued for a long time.

There was wind while riding, and there was shade from the trees, but the end of the team extended to the road, and the sunlight poured down directly. The accumulated fatigue and heat from riding were stimulated by the sunlight, and before long, Mu Zhengguang was sweating profusely from the sun.

"Would it be cooler if you wet the paper with water and wipe your face and arms?"

"meeting."

"Take out the paper and I'll pour some water for you. Wash your hands first with water, then use the paper to wipe the sweat off your face."

"it is good."

Mu Zhengguang did as he was told, his heart filled with gratitude.

Xu unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and poured the water on his hands, watching him wash his hands, watching him wipe the water, watching him wipe the sweat. The wind blowing on him would bring him coolness, and for her, this breeze also had an effect, although her body could not feel it, but her heart would relax a little.

The team was moving forward, and Mu Zhengguang and Xu were also moving forward. When they reached the shade, Mu Zhengguang became active and discussed with Xu what they had seen and heard in the museum.

The team continued to move forward, and Mu Zhengguang and Xu saw the cable car.

"Wait a minute, should I get in the car first, or should you?"

"You first." The cable car will slow down, but it won't stop. The person who gets on first has more time, and the person who gets on later needs to move faster. Mu Zhengguang thinks he should be faster than Xu: I didn't use my full strength when riding, but Xu still couldn't pull away from me.

"Let me go first, let's be fair. I'll get in the car first and you get off first."

"it is good."

Xu got on the bus and sat tight. After Mu Zhengguang got on the bus, he was flustered for a while before sitting down.

The cable car went up, getting farther and farther away from the ground. Mu Zhengguang just looked down and felt his legs go weak.

"Don't look down." Xu's legs were shaking, and she was too scared to open her eyes. The experience she told the other person didn't have much effect on her, but she still had to say what she had to say.

This time, Mu Zhengguang listened to Xu's words but did not do as he said.

The slowly ascending cable car gave people a sense of emptiness, as if the things under their feet would collapse at any time, and the same was true for the things hanging on the cable car. Fear was intertwined in his heart and could not be shaken off, but Mu Zhengguang still looked back frequently, looking at the lake and the mountains.

"Sister, I don't think I'm that scared anymore."

"I'm glad you're not afraid. I need to wait a while. You take the photo. I won't. Hold the phone steady when you take the photo." "Okay."

Mu Zhengguang's hands were shaking as he held the phone, just like when he was on the ferry last night.

After several minutes of slowing down, she calmed down a little, and imitated Mu Zhengguang, looking back a few times. She was still very scared, but not to the point of not daring to open her eyes.

"Hey bro, you wanna go ride the Ferris wheel? The kind that takes 13 minutes and 14 seconds to go around once."

1314 is the homophone of a word. Mu Zhengguang knew which word it was. It was normal for a boy and a girl to ride a Ferris wheel together. But was it crossing the line to ride a Ferris wheel like this? It crossed the line of friendship and the line of ambiguity.

"No, it's not appropriate for you and me to ride the Ferris wheel."

Mu Zhengguang originally wanted to say, "You can go ride the Ferris wheel with others," but then he thought, what is this? This is too frivolous and too presumptuous. Does Sister Xiao Xu have to ride the Ferris wheel with others? Can't she ride alone? Therefore, he changed the wording and changed "others" to "I".

"Nothing inappropriate. Don't you want to make this trip more memorable?"

Mu Zhengguang was in a state of hesitation: "During the winter vacation, you invited me to your home, and you used similar words. It's not appropriate for me to go to your home, but it's normal for us to write the test paper together. It takes 13 minutes and 14 seconds for the Ferris wheel to rotate once. It's not appropriate for you and me to ride on such a Ferris wheel, but it's just what I want to make this journey more memorable."

"No, this trip is already unforgettable. Thank you."

Xu stopped trying to persuade him: Mu Zhengguang can accurately measure the boundaries. His kindness, rationality, and integrity allow him to always abide by the bottom line and keep his impulses in check. I like him, in part, because I recognize his boundaries and bottom line.

Cui Yunqing saw it clearly: Although Mu Zhengguang's words sounded nice, he couldn't hide his regret. Riding the "1314" Ferris wheel with the person he loved was something he wanted to see, but it was also something he didn't want to do. Xu also had regrets in his heart, but they were not as heavy.

These regrets are not enough to build a cage, but at the right time and in the right environment, they are enough to form regrets that cannot be escaped. The difference in scores between the two is definitely more than ten points. When the scores are made public, they will have differences in their application.

Judging from the weight of regret in Mu Zhengguang's heart, he is not a person who can easily accept separation. He doesn't want Xu to apply to the same school as him, but he doesn't want to be in a different school or a different city from Xu.

It was easy for him to make a choice, because there was only one choice in front of him, and the "other" choice was not good for Xu, so this choice did not exist. However, it was difficult for him to willingly accept the consequences of his choice.

On June 6, they went to the Yellow Crane Tower and Qingchuan Pavilion.

On June 6, they went to museums and scenic spots.

On June 6, the college entrance examination results were announced.

They will only be together for three months at most. And these three months are not all in this year. To be frank, these three months are divided into two and a half months of this year and half a month in the next few decades of life.

Maybe, after they were admitted to different schools, they saw each other less than 15 days a year. They could only see each other one or two days a year. It was always like this for ten years. Would they see each other again? No.

The separation and eternal farewell between people may seem cruel at first glance, and you may feel sad when you think about it suddenly. However, as long as this eternal farewell is not based on death, when it comes, it is often easy, comfortable, and natural, without any coercion, threat, panic, or worry.

But there is one question that Cui Yunqing has not figured out yet: Will the relationship between these two people go further?
A friendship that has lasted for many years but gradually withered is certainly worth remembering, it is certainly regrettable, and it will certainly leave people with deep regrets. However, if this is not friendship but love, it also lasts for many years and gradually withers. The cage of regret will become stronger, and the heart trapped by regret will be particularly fragile. Next time, I won’t have to work so hard to trap him in the cage of regret.

All that was left was a confession! Why did Mu Zhengguang have to choose regret instead of satisfaction? He only needed to answer with one word, "yes", and he could ride on the "1314" Ferris wheel with Xu, and confess to her on the Ferris wheel, and the relationship would be established. Why didn't he do this!
