Chapter 391 I Want to Be with You

Xu Xiangmu Zhengguang elaborated on the reason why he was willing to be with him: "Let me start with the simplest and most obvious fact. From the time I started junior high school to the time I graduated from high school, I have known you for about six years."

We have known each other for six years, but the time we have actually spent together is far less than that. In the first year of junior high school, we were deskmates, and in the third year of high school, we were classmates. Even if we add the third year of junior high school, we were deskmates for one day a week, which is only three years. However, these two or three years are enough for us to understand each other and become good friends.

In the six years we have known each other, I have seen you work hard and I have also seen you feel frustrated. I have heard you recall the past and I have also heard you imagine the future. Under your gaze, I have grown taller, and under my gaze, you have also grown up.

Mu Zhengguang's thoughts had drifted too far away.

"When I was in the first year of junior high school, you tolerated me time and time again. After that, I began to learn how to tolerate you. Without you, my learning progress would definitely be very slow."

When you were in the first grade of junior high school, you were arrogant and occupied my desk and my books at will. You were very difficult to get along with. You once apologized to me for this, but if you were not in the first grade of junior high school, you would not apologize for such trivial matters.

After the apology, we analyzed the reasons: we were both the first and second in our respective elementary schools, and living in such an environment for a long time, it was inevitable that we would become proud.

Compared to you, I am less lively. Actually, I was also very angry at that time and wanted to quarrel with you, but I was too embarrassed to speak up. I didn't speak up once, and twice, and gradually, I didn't want to quarrel with you anymore.

The so-called tolerance, at the beginning, is just like this. It can’t be considered beautiful, let alone elegant. Under "coincidence", things are developing in a good direction. It is accidental, but also inevitable. The same is true for our meeting.

"You are a trustworthy person with a bottom line. Although you are not very reliable now, it doesn't matter if you have such a small flaw. There is no perfect person in the world. When I am with you, I say whatever I want to say. When you are with me, it is almost the same."

There is a bottom line because of distance.

He is trustworthy because of the distance, but there is another more important reason, sincerity. There are two main manifestations of sincerity: first, he rarely lies to me, and second, he will take the initiative to admit when he does something wrong.

As for his unreliability, it is because his learning and living abilities are still quite limited. If you give him important tasks, accidents may happen.

It is normal to have flaws. No one is perfect. From another perspective, it is precisely because of flaws that a person is trustworthy. If this is a person who looks perfect, then I would doubt whether this person has problems from the inside out, in every word and action.

"The constraints we are subject to come from our own standards and our yearning for beautiful things. We are not obstacles to each other. Being together will help us find more accurate standards and obtain more beautiful things. Well, I will stop here first. You can also say a few words, why do you like me so much, classmate Mu Zhengguang."

"We have similar hearts, but our personalities are very different. In you, I see a different way of life and a different future. When I make a mistake, you remind me, and when you make a mistake, I will tell you. There is no barrier between our hearts, and our personalities do not conflict."

Xu's generosity, liveliness and enthusiasm deeply attracted Mu Zhengguang. Such vitality was rare in him. However, it was not these differences that played a decisive role, but the similar hearts.

"I don't like those classic stories and famous quotes in the textbooks, and neither do you. You won't agree with the opinions I deny. You won't deny the opinions I approve. We have similar pursuits for goodness and similar aversions to evil. Although we have different living habits and interests, we share the same aspirations."

After listening to Mu Zhengguang's "similarities" and "dissimilarity", Xu smiled and nodded: "Well, like-minded classmate Mu Zhengguang, we are officially together today. There is one thing I don't want to hide from you anymore. I estimate that I can get 600 points. Chinese 115, English 120, Mathematics 125, Comprehensive Science 240. Of course, my estimate may not be accurate, ten points more or less are possible." Ten points more, then you can get 610 points, and you have a greater chance of impacting 985, which is a good thing. Ten points less, that is 590, our score difference should not exceed ten points, and we can be admitted to the same school, which is also a good thing.

Mu Zhengguang said: "Whether it is ten points more or ten points less, it is a good thing. Ten points more, you can get into a better university, ten points less, we are more likely to be in the same school."

"That's true in theory, but we don't know when this can be considered a good thing. Let's do our best and do what we can, such as being careful when applying for college, and leave the rest to time."

Cui Yunqing was very angry after hearing these words. She was thinking that if she had Zhao Yuxi's ability to distinguish true from false, she would be able to tell whether Mu Zhengguang and Xu were telling the truth. If not, in which sentence, word, or character did they mix in a lie?

But is there a one in a billion chance that they are telling the truth?

Why can they say such words? Why do they believe such words? If everyone believes these words and puts them into practice in real life, the effect of the power of regret will be greatly reduced!
Fortunately, there are very few people like them, and even fewer people who can believe these words and practice what they say. Cui Yunqing felt very fortunate, but at the same time, she became more hostile to Mu Zhengguang and Xu Yingze. These two people have spent too much time in the world of regret, which has consumed too much of her energy.

After confirming the relationship, Mu Zhengguang remained cautious to avoid doing anything out of line.

"Can I still call you 'sister' from now on?"

"Of course, if you want to use this name, then use it. But please note one thing, don't call me that in front of our relatives, friends, and classmates. You did a good job in this regard before, please continue to do so in the future."

"Yeah, I remember."

The Ferris wheel spun a circle, and Mu Zhengguang and Xu returned to the ground. They were not in a hurry to return, but like many people in the scenic area, they sat on the lawn and looked at the lake.

Mu Zhengguang said: "Is our relationship the same as Zhang Yulin and Wu Qingying's?"

The relationship between Zhang Yulin and Wu Qingying was made public very early. Before morning self-study, Zhang Yulin would bring breakfast to Wu Qingying. During physical education class, Wu Qingying would hold an umbrella for Zhang Yulin. After school at noon, the two would walk together. After evening self-study, they would sit at the same table.

One or two of these things alone may not prove their relationship, but when they all happen and happen so frequently, it is unusual.

In addition, in Xu's opinion, there is another thing that can prove the relationship between the two. The head teacher once specifically mentioned "don't fall in love" before a night study session, but the two did not become estranged because of this. If the two were just friends, or just ambiguous, would they be willing to risk being criticized by the teacher for continuing the ambiguity? I'm afraid they would not be willing.

"more or less."
