Chapter 421 Eight Years Have Passed in a Hurry
In Mu Zhengguang's impression, the last month of his junior high school career passed very quickly.
More and more students bring their mobile phones to school, and they play games or take photos of other students during lunch breaks. If the student being photographed falls asleep, it will be more convenient to take photos.
On the weekend of the second-to-last week of the second semester of the third year of junior high school, Mu Zhengguang walked into Xu's classroom with the yearbook he had just bought.
There were very few people in the classroom. Two people were standing in front of the blackboard with chalk in their hands. One of them was responsible for writing names, and the other was responsible for drawing arrows and hearts.
Mu Zhengguang observed for a while and concluded that the arrow points from the active party to the passive party. If the people who write and draw the lines disagree, there will be no arrow, but a horizontal line.
When the man wrote Xu's name on the blackboard, Mu Zhengguang glanced at him and the man quickly erased the name.
Mu Zhengguang suddenly felt that the glance was unnecessary: if I didn't look, my name would appear on the blackboard. There would be an arrow between the two names, with a heart on the arrow.
Xu occupied the first page in Mu Zhengguang's yearbook, and Mu Zhengguang also enjoyed the same treatment.
Mu Zhengguang removed the page written by Xu and kept it separately.
As graduation was approaching, the English teacher gave each of us two vocabulary notebooks, one with English written on it and the other with Chinese written on it.
In the last chemistry class, the teacher explained all the contents of the upper and lower volumes according to the textbook catalog.
In the last math class, the teacher talked about a lot of things that had nothing to do with the course. It was after this class that Mu Zhengguang discovered that the math teacher was also very talkative, just like the Chinese teacher.
The last Chinese class is self-study. The classroom is not noisy, but not too quiet either.
The last physics class was also for self-study. We had been doing the test papers for more than a month, and we had already reviewed the content that needed to be reviewed.
In the last class of history, morality and rule of law, the teacher recommended which reference books to buy. After all, it is an open-book exam, and you can't do without one or two reliable reference books.
Middle school, in a small town.
The high school entrance examination venue is in the county.
The third-year junior high school students sat on a bus bound for the county town. After arriving at the destination, each class teacher took the students to see the examination room.
After the high school entrance examination, some people did not take the bus back to the town, but went straight to the train station. People on the bus waved goodbye to them.
Many years later, when Mu Zhengguang recalled this scene, he would come to a discovery that was not surprising: in the midst of sudden warning and laughter, one group of classmates would never see another group again.
Mu Zhengguang's parents knew his high school entrance exam scores before Mu Zhengguang did. As for the county ranking and school ranking, none of them knew.
Later, Mu Zhengguang and Xu went to the school gate to look at the list and learned that they were ranked fourth and third in the school. As for the county ranking, they still don't know the exact number, but based on the class division in high school and the student numbers in the class, they estimated that they were about the top 200 and top 150.
After entering high school, Mu Zhengguang rarely saw Xu in the first two years. In the third year, they became classmates.
From then on, major events in life happened repeatedly, and some of them were preceded by "first time", such as the first time I watched a movie alone with a girl, the first time I traveled alone with a girl...
The summer vacation ended and we went to university. Baisong Province was far away, but the two of us walked together and did not feel tired or bored.
Mu Zhengguang's first year of college was spent in a hurry. He had a rich extracurricular life while actively dealing with his studies.
Take the time to make new friends and maintain old ones.
Participate in club meetings and activities, and participate in various on-campus and off-campus activities and lectures.
Go around the school, to other campuses, in the city, in the province, walk around and see different scenery and people.
In the first few months of school, Mu Zhengguang's circle of friends was extremely prosperous. There were selfies of high school classmates and college classmates. Their selfies were taken on campus, on the street, in the mountains, or at the beach...
Time just passed.
By his sophomore year, Mu Zhengguang found that after a whole year, the number of new friends he had was still small, and the number of old friends had not decreased significantly.
During this period, a very special thing happened. Mu Zhengguang and Xu rented a house outside the school. This matter was settled, which meant that the distance between the two was closer and they had more things to share.
In the second half of the sophomore year of college, winter passed and spring came, the temperature rose, and Xu bought more than a dozen potted plants, which added a strong sense of spring to the house where the two lived.
During the holidays, Mu Zhengguang told his parents that he and Xu were living together off campus. His parents didn't say anything about it, neither supporting nor opposing it, and many of the reasons he had prepared were of no use.
This holiday, Mu Zhengguang and Xu were very busy with their internships. After finishing their work, the two of them went on a seven-day trip.
Excluding this busy holiday, Mu Zhengguang's sophomore year was easier than his freshman year.
Before he knew it, he was spending a lot less time with his new friends.
The number of old friends has decreased, and some have disappeared from his friend list and have never been heard from again. Although some people have not deleted friends, their friend circles are not open to the public, or are only visible for one month or two months, or one or two months have passed without a new update.
He slowly accepted and adapted to this change, and quietly prepared himself to leave without saying goodbye, no matter how the other party treated him or how he treated the other party.
There seemed to be fewer meetings in clubs and departments. In fact, there were still the same number of meetings, but Mu Zhengguang knew that as a sophomore, he didn't need to be present every time, and other sophomores did the same.
The novelty and restraint he felt when he first entered university is now gone. Mu Zhengguang seldom participates in various activities organized by the college and class, except those that require signing in, taking photos, and adding credits.
Moreover, since November, Mu Zhengguang stopped playing games, and as a result, his contact with his gaming friends also decreased a lot. Without spending money on games, his living expenses were more sufficient than before.
Compared with the past, Mu Zhengguang has more free time. He spends some time doing housework and the other part developing his hobby, painting. In addition to painting, he practices calligraphy with colored ink. After Lu Hao learned about this, he recommended several colorful colored inks to him.
Autumn in Changyu City is very short, and it seems to last only a few days. After winter, Xu moved all the plants into the house. Only when the weather is good will she open the windows and let the flowers and plants enjoy the sun while enjoying the heating.
Mu Zhengguang also likes those plants very much, and their photos often appear in his circle of friends.
Outside the window, the wind was cold and the weather was freezing. Inside the house, the grass and trees were lush and leafy. A row of green plants on the balcony completely separated the indoor and outdoor areas, like two completely different worlds. That smaller world, warm, peaceful, and harmonious, belonged only to him and Xu.
Another spring came, and Xu began to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination by buying courses, books, and test papers.
Mu Zhengguang would occasionally attend classes with her and could understand a small part of them.
