Chapter 415 The End of the First Decade

One day at noon, Xu was memorizing words when he heard Mu Zhengguang knocking on the door and shouting, "Sister, it's time for dinner."

This title seems a bit harsh? Since when did I stop liking this title? And since when did this title no longer fit the name?

For more than a month, he has been busy preparing three meals a day.

Before this year, when I asked him to get up a few minutes earlier in the morning to cook a bowl of noodles for himself, he would find all kinds of excuses to put it off.

This summer, I didn't ask him to cook breakfast, but he always got up earlier than me to cook noodles and fry eggs. His skill in frying eggs has always been very poor, either not cooked or mushy, and I don't know when he has mastered this skill.

He is very busy every day. Fortunately, he doesn't play games, otherwise he would be too busy. When did he stop playing games? It started in his sophomore year. In November 2022, there was a major update in the game. After that, he played for nearly a year, and gradually found it boring, so he stopped playing.

Maybe, if he takes an hour out of his busy schedule to play games, it won't make him more tired. Just like when I take an hour walk with him every day, we feel much more relaxed after the walk. I wonder if he has found a hobby that makes him feel relaxed.

Three years have passed, he has become more and more mature, but I seem to be less mature, because I am letting others pay for my choice. Is it still worthy for him to call me "sister"?

Xu walked to the living room. On the dining table in the living room were braised pork, steamed sea bass, stir-fried pork tenderloin with broccoli, and wakame soup. There was a bowl of rice on the table, which was mine. There was also a plate of rice, which was his.

His weight has dropped, but his appetite has not increased. Has he lost weight? I haven't seen him weigh himself recently. Is it because he is too confident about the trend of his weight change? If so, he should be losing weight.

"If you were two years older than me, that would be just right."

Xu is 20 years old this year, and Mu Zhengguang is also 20 years old this year. Three years ago, we traveled in Siyun City. I said, "Give me another two or three years, and I can give you a clear answer," but I found that it doesn't take that long to give you an accurate answer, three years is enough.

Mu Zhengguang didn't understand what he meant: "Why?"

"Maybe it's because I want to call you brother, but you are younger than me, so I can't call you brother."

"Oh. Then just shout quietly so I can't hear you."

So, there is such a solution to this problem? However, I secretly shouted it to myself, which was not in line with my original intention.

"elder brother."

"Ah?" Mu Zhengguang didn't expect Xu to call him "brother" in a voice that he could hear: Although our ages are almost the same, it is not easy to tell who is older and who is younger, but the fact that you are three months older than me will not change. The name you used to me just now is contrary to the facts.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." At this time, Mu Zhengguang no longer wanted to care about the facts and violations of the facts: In the first year of junior high school, you asked me to call you "sister". At that time, I knew that you were older than me, but I still didn't want to call you "brother". I also did something ridiculous, which was to ask you to call me "brother". I am willing to call you "sister" not because you are older than me, but because of your care and concern for me. To this day, you call me "brother", probably for the same reason.

Moved and satisfied, Xu forgot what she originally wanted to say, "If you were two years older than me, we could get our marriage certificate this year." Halfway through the meal, she remembered this sentence but couldn't say it: I had worked so hard to create the "brothers and sisters" atmosphere, and it seemed inappropriate to discuss marriage at this time.

Besides, I am busy with my postgraduate entrance exams this year and don't have the extra energy to think about marriage. Besides, what's the use of me saying this? If I say this, our wedding date won't be moved forward. If I don't say this, he knows we will get married in the future. So let's not talk about it for now.

Mu Zhengguang admired Xu very much: "From the beginning of summer vacation to the end of summer vacation, you have been studying hard without a single day's delay. In the past, I could only guess and portray your hard work in my imagination. I didn't know how many test papers you did every night, when you finished these test papers, and when you went to bed? But now, I can clearly see your hard work in reality, and I know exactly how much effort you have put in. I hope your efforts will bear fruit. The postgraduate entrance examination is in December. After the exam, Xu was unsure. She could estimate the score, but she was not sure what the result would be and whether the score could get her into a 985 university.

Mu Zhengguang prepared a sumptuous dinner for Xu to celebrate the end of the exam. Potatoes and cabbage disappeared from the table, replaced by some foods that were obviously out of season.

The nervousness after the exam is different from the nervousness before the exam. Xu's rationality is enough to suppress most of the nervousness after the exam, and she also has ways to deal with the remaining small part.

"I'll do the housework these days, you can take a rest." Xu planned to use labor to divert her attention and relieve some of her tension. However, even if she was not nervous, she would take care of all the housework. When two people live together, they can't let each other do all the work.

"it is good."

When Xu started to do the housework, Mu Zhengguang found that she washed their clothes together. Washing and hanging their clothes separately was not a rule, but a habit that they consciously developed in principle. But now, she was going to abandon her old habit?
Xu didn't mind washing their clothes together, but she used to be uncomfortable with Mu Zhengguang hanging clothes for her. However, she had no problem helping Mu Zhengguang hang clothes.

"You can also help me hang the clothes in the future. We are a family, there is no need to make obvious distinctions when it comes to clothes."

Mu Zhengguang responded happily: "Okay."

During the winter vacation, Mu Zhengguang's mother carefully asked her son about what happened during the summer vacation and after the summer vacation. Although her son had already told her about what happened during the summer vacation, some things can only be explained in person. Moreover, half a year has passed, have things changed again?
The answer Mu Zhengguang's mother got was "no", which made her a little uneasy: Three years ago, you were seventeen years old, and it was appropriate to keep a distance. Now, you are twenty years old, so it is also appropriate to keep a distance. So, in another three years, will you still keep a distance? Or, how long do you have to wait before there is no distance between you?
During the holidays, postgraduate entrance examination scores were announced.

School starts and re-examination results are announced.

Xu was admitted to a 985 science and technology university in Jujiang City.

In May, take graduation photos.

In June, I defended my thesis and received my diploma.

In July, I checked out, got my deposit back, went home, and went on my graduation trip.

Jinshi City, Qixia Mountain.

"We have two identical universities in our application list, Baisong University and Jinshi Normal University. I wonder what would have happened if our first choice was not Baisong University but Jinshi Normal University."

Xu knew that if both of them had chosen Jinshi Normal University as their first choice, they would still be classmates. Looking back on the efforts they had made in the past to become classmates again, it still makes people feel deeply moved and overjoyed.

Four years passed in a flash, the past came to an end, and the result was determined. Mu Zhengguang raised his eyes and smiled: "Then we will not come here this year, but go to Changbai Mountain."

Mu Zhengguang briefly mentioned the many changes. The biggest change was that the mountain he saw today was different, nothing more.

"Makes sense."
