Chapter 392 The first day of traveling with your partner
In the afterglow of the setting sun, Mu Zhengguang and Xu set out on their return journey. At that time, there were many insects by the lake, and the insects flew onto the road, blocking the pedestrians' sight and "advising" them that it was time to go home.
After dinner, Mu Zhengguang and Xu sat in the store for a while.
Xu took a big sip of Coke and looked up at him: "Xiao Mu, you have been praising me for my good looks since the first grade, but I have never praised you for your good looks."
Mu Zhengguang smiled and said, "Can this word also be applied to me?"
"Of course you can. In my heart, you are a very good-looking person. I am very happy today. The person I like finally confessed to me."
"Should I have confessed earlier?"
"In theory, no. However, in people's imagination, there are other answers. If time could go back, what day and what time would you choose to confess your love?"
Usually, the topic of "If time could go back" is often related to regrets. "If time could go back, I would not do that", "If time could go back, I would make the right choice", "If time could go back, I would definitely become a better person"... Cui Yunqing has heard too many similar words.
However, Cui Yunqing had a bad feeling when these two people talked about "time going back": let's not talk about whether they would have regrets because of this. Even if they did, this little regret wouldn't have any effect, right? But am I trusting them too much? So many people have cried in their fantasy of time going back. Are they an exception? Not necessarily?
Time cannot be reversed, but memories can be recalled. Mu Zhengguang thought about many past events.
When we were in the first year of junior high school, we were desk mates. We were both very immature. You had your shortcomings and I had mine. These shortcomings made it impossible for us to treat each other equally.
In the third year of junior high school, I saw a better you and you saw a better me. Although we still had many shortcomings, these shortcomings did not affect our mutual respect.
When I was in my third year of high school, I was still unsure of your feelings for me. Our relationship became vague. I didn’t know whether you wanted to be with me, and I didn’t know whether we could be together.
"I think it's best to confess today. If it's too early, I'm afraid you won't agree, and I'm also afraid I won't be able to help you. If it's too late, I'm afraid I'll have a lot of selfish motives."
Cui Yunqing heard this and gnashed his teeth in anger: There is no trace of regret in these words? How could this be? How is it possible! Did I see it wrong? I can't do this, and thousands of people can't do it. I don't believe he can do it! He must be using lies and fantasies to fight regret, so I didn't see it!
"It's great that you think so. Now that I think about it, everything is just right. From the very beginning, when we met, to later, when we met again, although it was not as perfect as people imagined, it also made our distance shortened and we were able to be together in the end. Dear classmate Mu Zhengguang, am I right?"
Xu Weimu Zhengguang was happy: People who indulge in fantasy will not be satisfied with real life, and vice versa. You gave up the right to fantasy, and you once again restrained your desires. This inconspicuous feat, I saw it and I will remember it.
"Yes, everything was just right. Fate brought us together, and there were twists and turns, ups and downs, separations, and misunderstandings along the way, but in the end, we overcame them all."
"Yes. Today is our first day together, and I want to stay with you for a while longer. The Yangtze River Bridge is less than two kilometers long, and we can walk across it quickly. I want to walk from one end of the Yangtze River Bridge to the other, and then walk back from the Parrot Island Bridge, okay?"
"it is good."
Mu Zhengguang and Xu went to the Yangtze River Bridge.
Last night, on the boat, the lights they captured were blurry, but tonight, standing on the bridge, they could confidently and boldly take clear picture after clear picture.
Xu took many photos and then suggested: "Let's walk faster. I want to see how many steps I can take in one minute. But no running."
"Ah."
Both of them were holding their phones, with the screens almost parallel to the ground. They looked at the road ahead while paying some attention to the number of steps ticking on their phones.
After a minute, Mu Zhengguang stopped walking. 122 steps. This was not his fastest speed, he still left some room. 122 steps a minute, 7320 steps an hour. Subtracting 1/3, there are still about 5000 steps. However, when the two of them took a walk at night, they could only walk 4000 steps an hour on average. It can be seen that they left too much room, no wonder they didn't feel tired after walking for four hours.
Xu caught up with Mu Zhengguang: "I'll put my phone in my schoolbag and start running. Stop when you get tired." "Okay. But you have to put the tablet in my schoolbag."
"You're worried that I can't run fast, right? Actually, I'm afraid too. Just put it down. The phone is with you, too."
Mu Zhengguang's schoolbag was heavier, but he ran faster, there was no doubt about that. He often stopped to wait for the people behind him to catch up, then leaned on the railing to rest, chat, and then continued running.
The two chased and laughed for a long time.
When he returned to the hotel, it was late at night again. Mu Zhengguang checked his step count: 33170 steps.
On this day, the two looked at the photos again.
Facing Xu in his pajamas, Mu Zhengguang still didn't dare to look directly at him.
However, on this day, they did more than just look at photos.
The two of them sometimes sat cross-legged and sometimes lay on their backs on the quilt, and their laughter and chatter continued.
Mu Zhengguang was still shy when he was with Xu, and the distance between them did not get closer. From the outside, it seemed that nothing had changed. However, his heart was no longer shaken. In his mind, a word became particularly heavy and particularly real, that is, "responsibility".
At night, Xu fell asleep early and Mu Zhengguang suffered from insomnia.
Mu Zhengguang looked at the photo he and Xu took on the Ferris wheel, and tears began to fall unconsciously.
Six years have passed, and our relationship has finally developed to this point. Looking back at the very beginning when we met, you and I disliked each other. How could we have thought that many years later, you and I would be together?
Many years from now, will our relationship still be the same as it is today? Will we still regard each other as the most important person?
do not know.
Maybe, we will be admitted to different universities.
Maybe, we will leave each other's lives "gradually".
However, we will no longer be hostile to each other as we were at the beginning, nor will we regard each other as strangers.
Our hearts were once similar. No matter how much time passes, this fact will not change.
As long as your heart and mine remain unchanged, even if we never meet again, or even if I no longer remember you, the attraction between our hearts remains unchanged, and we still have the possibility of becoming good friends.
When I see you getting closer to your goal and also closer to my goal, I will be happy for you even if there is no friendship between us anymore.
that's enough.
My fear, my timidity, and the tears I shed during these moments are all denials of you! They are all doubts of you! It is wrong for me to think and do this, and I cannot do this anymore.
Mu Zhengguang wiped the tears from the phone screen.
In the photo, Xiao Xu is wearing a yellow T-shirt and light purple trousers. She is always so pretty and always makes people laugh. As he watched, he laughed out loud.
Everything is just right. It was like this in the past, it is like this now, and won’t it be like this in the future?
