Chapter 430 A new chapter of a regretful story

On May 2025, 5, Mu Zhengguang had no classes in the morning, but he still got up before eight in the morning. He sat up suddenly from the bed, turned around, got out of bed, and ran to the next room without even bothering to put on his shoes.

Xu heard footsteps and the sound of a door opening. She put down the book in her hand and was hugged as soon as she turned around.

"Sister, can you not go to class this morning?" Mu Zhengguang burst into tears. As early as the moment he saw Xu, his face was already full of tears, tears of grievance and tears of joy.

When two people get along, at least one of them must remain rational. He failed to do so, but I should do so. After realizing this, Xu was no longer surprised why he came in without knocking, nor did she argue with him about this sudden hug.

"Yes. I promise you that I will not go to class this morning. My grades should be high enough, so it's okay to skip class occasionally. I don't have to worry about failing. Can you tell me why you are crying so sadly, little Mu Zhengguang?"

Xu put his hand on Mu Zhengguang's face, not to help him wipe away his tears. There were too many tears and one hand could not wipe them all away. But this hand had other functions, such as comforting.

"I dreamed that you died, and after that, I didn't love you anymore."

The dream started with Xu's death. The dream ended with love disappearing. All the processes and past events in between were hard to explain even with thousands of words. But Mu Zhengguang didn't plan to explain it immediately, and his thinking ability at the moment didn't support him to explain it clearly.

Dead? He must have experienced a lot of unspeakable pain in his dream, and such pain made him still feel scared after waking up. Under the impact of such pain, he had little rationality left. At this time, the words he said were the most unforgettable scars in his heart.

"That's the right thing to do. May I know how long 'after' is?"

"Two years."

With his ability, it shouldn't take more than two years for him to resolve the sadness brought by the separation and let go of his love for me in this environment? Maybe something bad happened to him again, slowing down his progress.

Xu stroked his face with his right hand and hugged him tightly with his left arm, making him feel more warmth and love.

"This must be a very long dream. We have a morning, so you can tell me slowly. I'll order takeout for lunch. What would you like to eat? Fried chicken? Roast duck?"

"Roast Duck."

"Okay. My dear little classmate, today is the first time you hugged me, right? It's also the first time I hugged you. You can hug me more in the future, and I will hug you more too."

"Ah."

Cui Yunqing is plotting a more cruel conspiracy.

Yang Shuyu sensed her malice and felt uncomfortable: According to convention, the stories in the transitional world would not be too long, no more than 24 hours. Dreams took up 8 hours, and morning, lunch, and nap took up 6 hours, so Cui Yunqing still had 10 hours to use. If her malice was fully released within 10 hours, under the impact of the ultra-high efficiency tragedy, Mu Zhengguang would inevitably suffer unimaginable harm!
When he was in the first year of junior high school, his first car accident, his second car accident, and going to the Normal University, Mu Zhengguang recounted in detail all that he saw, heard, and understood in his dreams.

"I understand your good intentions. I also understand that the answer you gave was inappropriate and disadvantageous to me." Mu Zhengguang said this to Xu in his dream, but the Xu in the dream had already died and could never hear it again. The Xu in reality was right in front of him. As he said this, he carefully observed Xu's expression.

"I was quite smart in my dream. I chose to let go at the last moment. Now that she's dead, your boyfriend-girlfriend relationship is automatically dissolved. When you introduce her to others in the future, you only need to say that she's your classmate or your sister, and you don't need to say that you were ever together."

Mu Zhengguang saw that his pride and relief were exactly the same as Xu's. The two people with similar attitudes towards life and the same conclusions could live in harmony and understand each other, whether in dreams or in reality.

"I will no longer like you, but I will always like the standards you taught me."

When Mu Zhengguang said this, he put the emphasis on the last part. In the dream, this was a farewell. In reality, this was a confession, but the first half of the sentence had to be left out.

The little classmate can say this, his ability to distinguish right from wrong has surpassed mine. Xu was proud of his growth, she leaned back and lay on the bed: "You lie down for a while, I'll call you to have lunch in an hour."

When you get tired of sitting, you can just lie down on the same bed without covering yourself with a blanket. This is a new way that Xu has found to express intimacy without crossing the bottom line.

Mu Zhengguang, like Xu, had been sitting cross-legged on the bed before. After hearing this, he also lay down obediently and stretched his legs.

Although this behavior was not a clear violation of the bottom line, Xu still did not dare to lie there for too long. After a few minutes, she got up and put a pillow on her classmate's stomach to cover up the traces of his impulsiveness.

"You had a nightmare last night, so you must not have slept well. Sleep a little longer. I'll go to the living room to memorize some words."

"it is good."

Xu took a black T-shirt and gray trousers from the closet. She had planned to wear this outfit to class today, but her classmate ran into her room and she didn't go to class, so she delayed changing clothes. When the two hugged, her pajamas were wet with tears. Although she had worn them all morning and they were about to dry, it was inappropriate to wear pajamas to get takeout.

Xu changed her clothes in the bathroom, then walked into the living room, took out two bags of biscuits from the screen cabinet next to the door and threw them on the sofa. Afterwards, she sat on the sofa, ate biscuits while opening her phone, and asked her classmates about the morning sign-in situation, only to find out that no one had signed in.

While reciting words, Xu couldn't help but think back to what happened this morning. In reality, today's Mu Zhengguang was telling her dream. In her dream, today's she calmly left her last words.

The last words she said were indeed my style, but there was one thing I was not as good as hers, that is, at the last moment of my life, I might not be able to clearly and accurately express my views on death within three minutes. From another perspective, this was Xiao Mu's dream. The me in the dream might be regarded as his idea of ​​me. He remembered the truth I said, so the me in the dream could say what I wanted to say. In his eyes, I was a calm person, and he gave this ability to the me in the dream and magnified it, so at the last moment, the me in the dream remained calm.

In fact, I am not as strong as he thought, but he is stronger than I thought. Although the experience in the dream cannot be regarded as a real experience, he has tasted the taste of victory, which can at least bring him a little courage and confidence, which is enough.

As for whether the method he found in the dream can be applied to real life, and whether it is necessary and possible to apply it to real life, I don’t make any requirements and I don’t expect it.

Cui Yunqing invested malice and strength in the delivery man, making him like a beast out of a cage, running towards his prey with fierce eyes and desire.

Yang Shuyu was very dissatisfied with Cui Yunqing's arrangement. Since the other party was ruthless, she would also be ruthless. She gathered the water in the air to form hail, and smashed the man's head with the hail. She drew lightning and bombarded the man's bones, burning his blood.

On the other side of the road, another delivery man appeared. He looked exactly like the man lying in a pool of blood, and in his delivery box, there was also a steaming roast duck.

"We are all girls, please understand and don't let her suffer such horrific violence."

In the transitional world, no one could witness the tragedy just now. The man's malice and his body were erased, as if they had never existed. Cui Yunqing was shocked and suspicious after seeing Yang Shuyu's ability, but she was not scared: "Xu is not Xu Yingze, and this is not reality."

"I stopped you not because Xu is not Xu Yingze, nor because this is not reality, but because of our initial agreement. Car accidents are low-probability events, and dying in a car accident is even less likely. The damage you are going to make Xu suffer is also a low-probability event. The first two times, you followed your ideas, this time, follow my rules."

"But... that's not right... if... if I change the form... because... because having sex with other people before getting married is not a low-probability event."

"If you can get Xu to take the initiative to have sex with other people, it's certainly not a low-probability event, but if it's passive, that's another matter."

"Forget it. I believe in Xu's character. She will never give herself to others on her own initiative. But I want to know, if she did something under duress due to passive reasons, how would Mu Zhengguang treat him? Will these two people still be together?"

"Whether they can or can't, my words don't count. Let them tell you."

The world before Cui Yunqing suddenly became very different. She stood on the boundless water and looked up, only to see the stars shining brightly and the night extending far and wide.

Every star in the sky represents a point of view or an idea. Dozens of stars fell into the abyss one after another. Cui Yunqing understood Mu Zhengguang's thoughts and made a choice according to his wishes: the two would not be together as husband and wife, but they would still be classmates, friends, and siblings.

Cui Yunqing knew the result, but there was one question she still didn't understand. She shouted to the sky: "How did such a result come about?"

Many more stars fell, and Cui Yunqing saw the answer she wanted: what happened to Xu would make both of them suffer. After they told each other about their pain, they understood each other and reached an agreement, so the result was formed. But the result did not mean that the two of them were no longer in pain. The pain was reduced, but it still existed. What had happened could not be changed. The injury, like a scar, would fade, but it would never disappear.

In Xu's mind, there was a similar result and answer, and Cui Yunqing also saw it: Xu would take the initiative to clarify the matter and terminate their relationship. Mu Zhengguang accepted her advice, and the whole process was both active and passive. At the beginning, they would help each other, but the distance between the two continued to grow. In the end, they would only meet once in a long time, and when they met, they would just smile at each other without saying a word, as if they had never known each other.

This result was Xu's imagination. Her imagination was very different from Mu Zhengguang's. In her imagination, the concept of distance was particularly obvious. However, in reality, when everything was going well, she was the one who took the initiative to close the distance. Cui Yunqing suddenly found that she could not see through these two people, nor could she see through the justice they longed for.

The scene changed and Cui Yunqing returned to the transitional world.

In the transitional world, Xu was wrapping a pancake with roast duck and then handing it to Mu Zhengguang.

"You've seen their answers, right? The common things in the world are not enough to trap Mu Zhengguang in a cage of regret, not even the separation of life and death. The horrific things you can think of that happened to Xu also had little effect. After Mu Zhengguang and Xu drew a clear line, whether she was alive or dead, what kind of injuries she suffered, and what kind of state she was in, none of them affected him. Those who did not meet his requirements would not be considered partners by him. No one could be an exception to his mate selection criteria, not even Xu and Xu Yingze."

Cui Yunqing believed what Yang Shuyu said, but there was something she couldn't understand: "Are his criteria for choosing a spouse and his approach correct?"

"I don't know. But he has met the standards he proposed. He is no exception in his mate selection criteria. Whether there are girls who meet the standards in the world, his standards will not change."

"What if the order is reversed? The two get married first, and when they get married, Xu meets the criteria. After marriage, she is forced to…"

Yang Shuyu interrupted Cui Yunqing forcefully: "They will get divorced, Xu will not marry again, and Mu Zhengguang will not marry again, it's that simple. If it doesn't meet the standards, it doesn't meet the standards. If this happens before marriage, the two will not get married. If this happens after marriage, their marriage will end here."

"Isn't this too cruel and heartless? Can't he tolerate Xu in this matter?"

Cui Yunqing was very skeptical about the correctness of abandoning the person who had been with her for many years just because of a specious standard. She even doubted whether Mu Zhengguang could do such a cruel and ruthless thing.

"Even if he tolerates Xu, will Xu accept it with peace of mind? No. Xu's standards for his partner and himself are no lower than Mu Zhengguang's. Let's stop here for this matter, and don't ask again in the future. He won the duel in the second regretful world again. Do you think it is necessary to let him enter the third regretful world?"

Yang Shuyu knew how Cui Yunqing would answer. What she wanted was a positive answer from the other party. In this way, no matter how miserable Mu Zhengguang's life was in the next world of regret, it would have nothing to do with her.

Cui Yunqing understood that Yang Shuyu wanted to shirk responsibility, but she was happy to take on this responsibility. Even if Yang Shuyu didn't ask, she would send Mu Zhengguang into the next world of regret.

"Have."
