Why it never ends

Chapter 43 Anna
"Mazaki."

Chiba raised her head and greeted Valenti with a smile, "Why are you here?"

"I just heard that you made an appointment for today's surgery at the base, so let's take a look."

"Don't come here yet." Chiba whispered.

Valenti stopped in place very cooperatively, and it was not until Elu packed up all the documents on the hospital bed that she slowly walked to Chiba's side and sat down.

"Didn't you say you're going to take a good vacation these two months?" Valenti frowned slightly, "Are you accepting the mission again?"

Chiba waved lightly at Elu, signaling him to go out.Elu bowed to Chiba and Valenti, and then closed the door from the outside.

"A new wave of chelates appeared on a wasteland in the fifth district," Chiba's voice was a little hoarse, "It feels a little strange, and it just so happened that there was a call for help over there, so I'll go and have a look."

"Has that been resolved?"

"Well, it's all settled." Qianye looked at her, "You came just in time, help me to tell Hesta tomorrow, don't go out the day after tomorrow, let her stay in my ward."

"What do you want her to do?"

"Don't do anything, just stay by my side." Qianye replied, "Otherwise, I won't be able to complete the time target for spending time with her this month."

Valenti looked serious, "...do you know what the vacation is for?"

"Rest." Chiba replied immediately.

She understood what Valenti wanted to say, but the two just looked at each other for a while, Chiba reached out and grabbed a handful of hair, "Can you do me another favor?"

"What?"

"My coat should be outside, the head nurse and the others put it away," Chiba lowered her voice, "There should be half a pack of cigarettes in the inner pocket of my coat—"

Valenti frowned, "Do you think I'll help you?"

"Okay." Chiba leaned back and reached out to hold the iron fence at the head of the bed, "But I'm fine, Valenti, these are just normal injuries, and I'll be discharged soon—"

"If you keep fighting like this, you might not live to be 35 years old. This is the diagnosis my father gave me a few years ago." Valenti tilted her head, "Chiba, what are you thinking?"

Qianye didn't answer, she stretched her legs straight, her entire upper body was completely relaxed, and her long hair also gathered on her chest.

There was no cigarette on this occasion, which always made Chiba feel that something was missing, and her fingers tapped the bed sheet a little uneasy.

Qianye Xu looked ahead, "That's still too long."

A trace of surprise flashed across Valenti's eyes: "What do you mean? Are you trying to kill yourself slowly in this way?"

Chiba was stunned for a moment, then smiled, she waved her hand towards Valenti, "Death is inevitable, Valenti, but I will not take the initiative to walk towards it... I will never do this thing."

As if she felt that her question was too abrupt, Valenti blushed a little. She stood up and arranged the fresh bouquet on the table to avoid Chiba's gaze.

"My dad talked to me about you a few days ago. He said that among all the patients he has come into contact with, no one has a stronger will to survive than you."

"That's right," Qianye leaned on the bed, "It's just that I have a few habits that are slightly more lethal. You don't have to worry too much... How is Dr. Weijing recently?"

"It's still the same." Valenti said softly, "He should have gone to some wilderness in the south with the coalition army recently to inspect. At the current speed, he may come to Tan Yi in two weeks."

"Your lord is a brave man."

"Would you like to meet then?"

Qianye counted the time in her heart, and said in a low voice, "We'll see the situation when the time comes."

The two chatted for a while, and before leaving, Valenti turned back immediately after walking out of the room, "By the way, Ms. Anna's manuscript... I almost forgot to give it to you, it's so thick..."

As he said that, Valenti took out a stack of four-finger-thick manuscripts from his black satchel, which were full of long and short sentences typed out with a typewriter, densely packed, but very neat.

From the moment she heard the name "Anna", Chiba's expression became a little subtle.

"My father is now Ms. Anna's attending doctor." Valenti said softly, "We will get Ms. Anna's manuscript in the future. We don't have to bother as much as before. He can visit her every month now."

Chiba took the manuscript silently. The cover of the manuscript was added as an extra, and Valenti's father wrote "When the Forest Sings Part [-]" in cursive script on it.

"She's still writing these useless things." Qianye murmured, "No one will read it at all."

"I've just read it," Valenti argued with a smile. "It's very inspiring after reading it. I've never seen anyone who can write about forest science as interestingly as she does."

"How is she, now?"

"It's fine in the short term, but not optimistic in the long term," Valenti said in a low voice. "She had a minor operation on her knee last month. If she cultivates properly, she can stand up in the future. My father mentioned it to the coalition government." Many times, what Ms. Anna needs in the future is not to continue to rest, but to return to normal life as soon as possible. She is always imprisoned in a place, even if it is a palace, it will not help. Fortunately, she can still write now, at least when she is writing. be free."

Qianye didn't respond, she looked back at the manuscript, "This thing...is it still handed over to the editor from District [-] last time?"

"Yes, there are two manuscripts here, one for the editor and the other. Ms. Anna hopes you can keep it for her. She is worried that if she keeps the manuscript in her own hands, the next time the coalition government comes to make a surprise inspection They will still be robbed directly.”

"Okay." Qianye has quickly found the page that divides the stack of manuscripts, "I see."

"Is there anything you'd like to pass on to her? Like—"

"No."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, my dad will have to wait another two weeks to arrive, you can think about it again." Valenti stood up again, "When my dad comes to Tan Yi, the next stop is to go back to the core city. Will stay here for too long."

"Okay." Chiba looked up at Valenti, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's nothing." Valenti also looked at her. "I heard from my father that Anna's life is very lonely now. If someone can write her a letter, it should be a great encouragement."

"...You can write one," Qianye said, "When Anna gave us an introduction to natural history, you always followed her behind and asked various questions—she must have had a deep impression on you."

"I've already written it." Valenti said with a smile, "but I haven't seen you for almost four years, and I don't have much to write. You know that life in the base is regular and monotonous. How can I write?" Can't write flowers either, but if you—"

"I can't write flowers either," Chiba replied, "It's not convenient for me to talk about many things I do, and if the letter is intercepted midway, it will bring unnecessary trouble to her... Don't persuade me. "

Valenti sighed softly, but she soon laughed again, "That's right, I'm just making a suggestion, don't feel embarrassed."

After Valenti left, Elu re-entered the ward, seeing Chiba sorting out the manuscript, Elu asked the reason, and Chiba told the truth.

"Do you need help?" Helu asked, "I can send it for you tomorrow."

"No need, I just want to go to District [-] next month." Chiba lowered her eyes, "I'll come in person."
