Chapter 77 I will keep my oath

Xu Ying read it carefully and nodded to show her approval. Mu Zhengguang also read the note she wrote and returned it to her. She used a lighter to light the two notes and burned them.

"No need to change it for now. Let's speculate on the next move of the institute. There were two meetings in the morning, a meet-and-greet and a job fair. What about the afternoon?"

Mu Zhengguang was unsure about this matter: "Friendship exchange meeting? Academic seminar?"

Xu Ying didn't really want to ask this question, nor did she want to get a standard answer from him. This question was used to change the topic and liven up the atmosphere.

"We've been having so many meetings that everyone is familiar with each other. It's not surprising to see banquets, dances, cocktail parties, and blind date meetings. Well... it's noon now. If you have nothing to do, shall we go eat?"

"it is good."

The two of them went to the basement level, and Xu Ying pointed out the milk tea shop that sold watermelon juice. Mu Zhengguang went to the store and bought two more cups, both with ice.

He quickly finished the juice and threw the plastic cup into the trash can from more than ten meters away: "What are you having for lunch?"

Xu Ying smiled and said, "You treat, you choose."

"it is good."

They walked around the commercial street for about ten minutes, and Mu Zhengguang took a fancy to a barbecue restaurant.

After entering the restaurant, Mu Zhengguang found that the area of ​​the barbecue restaurant was larger than he imagined. He asked for a private room and sat opposite her.

Mu Zhengguang received a high bonus and had more choices in ingredients. His eyes quickly moved on the menu and soon saw the key words: hand-cut beef, beef ribs, pork belly. First choose the meat you want to eat, then choose mine, and finally add the vegetarian dishes.

He had eaten lamb chops, spare ribs, and pig's trotters before, but usually they were used for stewing or braising. He had never tried grilled lamb chops. He ordered all of them. He looked through the menu and saw an unfamiliar dish, foie gras, so he ordered one as well.

He looked at the menu again, picked up a pen, and added small yellow croaker, chicken wings, lettuce, romaine lettuce, baby cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, potato chips, lotus root and Chiba tofu.

Xu Ying watched him flipping through the menu and moving his pen. The more she watched, the more she found his concentration interesting: After reaching the second level, one's appetite increases, but not every meal requires a lot. I prefer to have more meals, not more portions. But then again, no matter how many dishes you order, I should be able to eat them, right?
This meal is quite expensive.

The price of goose liver is not low, but the portion is very small, only six pieces. If you open your mouth a little wider, these six pieces can be eaten in one or two bites, and you can "swallow" dozens of dollars without much effort. Lamb chops are not cheap to begin with, and after being grilled, the price is even higher. Similar products include beef and beef ribs.

“It tastes a bit like bone marrow, but richer and a little bit sweeter.”

Xu Ying could see that he really liked this new food: "Would you like another serving?"

"No, let's eat it next time we have a chance. The dishes we ordered today are enough."

"Good. You can control the fire, so it's perfect for you to grill the meat!"

The lunch lasted for more than an hour. Mu Zhengguang was very satisfied with the pleasant feeling of fullness. He couldn't help but admire the stability and beauty of life: "If 'An' hadn't appeared, or if I had treated you to a meal at this time last year, we would have to live frugally."

Xu Ying snorted softly: "Even if there is no 'darkness', you and I will still be together. We will go through the college entrance examination, you will be admitted to the bottom 211, and I will be admitted to the bottom 211, and we will be in the same school." A trace of sadness and fear flashed through Mu Zhengguang's heart. He often said "reverse movie" and "fate", but he did not completely believe these words. At least in some things, he still had doubts. If there is no "darkness", can we still have so much happiness?

“Having said that, it’s certainly not as good as it is now.”

Xu Ying is optimistic because of her wisdom, brave because of her determination, and sincere because of her love. She thinks more and in the long term, but she is not afraid of the future because of these long-term considerations.

She shook her head but did not directly deny his opinion. Instead, she expressed her own thoughts gently: "No matter what happens in the possibility of no 'darkness', no matter how many difficulties and setbacks there are, you and I have similar characteristics. After experiencing many happy and unhappy things, we will definitely come together and become partners. At that time, we will find that it is destined that difficulties and setbacks push us to meet, and happiness and unhappiness, all of this pushes us to miss each other. Before the 'darkness' came, before we met, before we were born, everything has been written. Do you want to write something?"

Mu Zhengguang was very moved by what she said, and he answered straightforwardly like a child, "Yes."

Xu Ying handed him the paper and pen. She always carried sticky notes, pens, and lighters with her, and they worked together to be prepared.

Mu Zhengguang was still thinking about what his classmate had just said. He was moved and encouraged, and wrote on a piece of paper: Before the "darkness" comes, our wish has been fulfilled.

He handed the note to Ying.

This was the first time Xu Ying had seen the words on the note. However, she had seen similar words before. Earlier this year, a classmate wrote a long note and handed it to her during class. The note had a sentence with a similar meaning.

Xu Ying thought: Maybe I should have taken the opportunity to reply to you then, but it is not too late to reply now. After the second modeling competition, we have a deeper and more real understanding of each other, and the reply now is also deeper and more real.

She ran her fingertips across the note, carving out an invisible word stroke by stroke: Yes.

Yes and no, neither answer is a lie, nor is it the exact truth. Whether the two hearts will drift apart or get closer, and in which direction the situation will develop, although it has long been predetermined, at this moment, the one or two words written by Xu Yingze did play a crucial role. The difference of one word, the difference of one thought, leads to two opposite paths.

Xu Ying withdrew her finger. She was very happy: You believe in our future and our past. More importantly, you believe in me and you gave me the opportunity to write the answer.

After hearing this word, both of them felt extremely relieved. The power generated from their hearts also became stronger.

Xu Ying saw her classmates nodding in approval and wanted to get closer to him: "Stretch out your left hand."

Mu Zhengguang did as he was told.

Xu Ying stretched out her right hand and interlocked her fingers with his. Endless joy and excitement were brewing in her heart: It seems that the bones of my little classmate are stronger than mine? Since the asymptote, I thought there was no difference between him and me in physical strength, but now it seems that there is still a little difference.

Xu Ying said softly, "Let's make a second agreement: try not to go against the goodness in our hearts."

Mu Zhengguang thought about it: The promises made by other lovers are all vows of love, love for someone forever, never betray each other, always loyal, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until the end of time, not only in this life, but also in all the lives. Whether it is poverty or wealth, whether it is health or illness... But with you, all of this is gone. However, if it is me who makes the promise, I will also avoid vows of love. Never betraying is too easy, and life after life is too illusory. As long as you stick to the goodness in your heart, it is not easy to do something extraordinary, and it is not easy to have big disputes... The word "goodness" seems simple, and it is nothing more than conscience, conscience, kindness, and goodwill, but it is difficult to stick to it all the time. The promise between you and me is "try your best not to violate", which means that we can't always stick to goodness. Always being good is our goal, not the status quo.

He said, "As you wish."

In the barbecue restaurant, Guang and Ze passed notes to each other, and in the most ordinary moment, the earth-shaking historical picture quietly unfolded.
