Why it never ends

With a "poof", the cork rushed out of the bottle.

Putina grabbed the bottom of the champagne bottle and poured the light golden drink into a sherry glass mixed with agave and lime juice.She focused on inserting a slice of lime into the mouth of the cup, and the light yellow pulp was stained with some lime sugar that had been moistened on the edge of the cup in advance.

Putina pushed the cup to Anna, and Anna thanked her warmly. She sniffed the aroma of the wine, and suddenly turned around, "I asked Putina to drink, why did you come with me?"

Hesta raised his chin towards Putinna, "She invited me."

"really? Why?"

"Ms. Hesta seems to be very sure that Rob will not survive the day of disembarkation," Putina looked at Anna, "Really?"

"Of course it is true," Anna replied.

Putina was a little surprised, "You actually took the initiative to reveal this to her—"

"I've never talked with her about such details," Anna smiled. "Is she guessing?"

Putina turned her head, "Really?"

"Ah, those were left behind by some guests at the pre-dinner meeting. We hung them all up, sort of like a makeshift lost and found."

"I'm not here tonight... I won't say anything more." Putina replied with a smile, "Ms. Li Ke and Ms. Su Lei will definitely tell you."

Putinna shook the brass bell, and several waiters came in from the outside. After listening to Putinna's order, they stepped forward and cooperated to remove the barbed wire.

"cheers."

Not far away, Anna put down the empty glass, "I think I need a glass of gin and tonic later."

"Look at your nervousness, haha, it's not your guest, it's our guest."

Anna propped her face sideways, and also looked at the wall not far away, "What are those things, show me."

She obviously came here with Li Gesilei at noon today.

Hesta raised his eyebrows slightly and put the two hemispheres back on the table.

Anna picked up one of the fist-sized wooden balls. Its surface was very mottled, and the parts on it seemed to be of mortise and tenon structure. Anna tried twisting it a few times and put it down.

"Are you envious?" Hesta suddenly raised his eyes.

Several waiters took down all the pendants on the wall, and arranged them on the table between Anna and Hesta in turn. There are various things here. A tiger ring, some coin purses stuffed with bills, and a couple of keychains.

"What did you write?" Putina asked curiously.

Hesta became interested, "Give me a try?"

"Oh, another one," Putina let out a regretful sigh, "you don't even know what you missed..."

"Otherwise," Anna looked sideways at Hesta, "there are not many talented people in this world, and even fewer people are lucky enough to discover where their talents lie, not only to discover their talents, but also to make them useful People in the land of martial arts are the lucky ones among the lucky ones."

"No." Hesta whispered, "Give me a glass of water."

"Apart from that "Justice and Equal Rights", have you read any other books?" Anna asked.

"There are some guesses, but not all of them." Hesta's eyes lowered slightly, "I have been reading the book "Justice and Equal Rights" in addition to the guidebook of the Shengming these days. There have been a few death threats he's received...one of which was from Albodonica."

It was also at this time that Hesta saw the wooden blocks inlaid in the center of the wooden ball—their joints were carved into male and female breasts respectively.

Putina laughed, "Growing up in a honeypot... Do you mean Ms. Hesta?"

Hesta held the cup and slammed it on the table lightly, but didn't drink.

"...To your perfect life, Hesta," Anna raised her glass towards Hesta, "Sometimes fate is so generous that it doesn't make sense."

Putina looked at Hesta with some surprise, and saw that she was staring straight at Anna, her left hand was slowly shaking the glass, and the ball-shaped ice cubes gently collided with the glass wall with her movements.

Putina turned the separated wooden ball to Anna again. Anna looked at the gap of the wooden ball against the light, and then put the two hemispheres together again.

"uh-huh."

"Guests?" Hesta immediately became vigilant, "Did other passengers come to the second floor today?"

"What's hanging on the wall over there?" Hesta pointed to the iron grid not far away, "Should it be empty at noon?"

"You don't understand." Anna put down her wine glass, folded her hands on the table and folded her fingers, "A person who grew up in a honey pot doesn't need alcohol."

Not far away, Anna stretched out her hand, "Bring it to me to have a look."

She looked at the Hard Rock Bar at night without saying a word.Although the light here has always been very dark, she still feels that some places have become different from before - the positions of certain tables and chairs, the hangings on the wall... and many things that she can't tell what has changed, but It's just something that doesn't feel right.

"...Do you want to see everything?"

Anna let out a meaningful chuckle, but did not answer.

"Is there any work that is not hard?" Anna smiled and looked away, "A generous salary, a prestigious social status, a partner who shares life and death, reliable and efficient logistical and administrative support... as long as one of these conditions is met, it is a A good job, and our Hesta apparently got it all—”

"Okay," Putina turned her head to look at Hesta, "You really don't want a drink?"

"...'I will cut off every head of Roboglier fairly'." Hesta replied softly.

"Alcohol is bad for your health."

Hesta thought for a moment: "You mean the guests at the dinner party today?"

Putina thought for a while, "But the work of the mercury needle is still very hard, right?"

Putina handed things over.Hesta's left hand is the main force, and the right arm is the auxiliary. The movements are a little clumsy, but after a few simple trials and errors, she quickly found the trick. The wooden ball that was originally tightly fitted quickly disintegrated in her hands and split into two large pieces. piece.

"...As expected of being your guest."

"That's not all," Hesta said softly, "I also have the most trustworthy mentor in the world."

Putina opened a bottle of purified water, "Have you never drank?"

Hesta didn't say a word. Apart from "Justice and Equal Rights", the other book she is reading is Anna's "When the Forest Sings", but it feels a bit strange to say this in person.

"Which one?" Hester asked back.

"The Awakening of Males," Anna reminded, "is the book you used to pinch the door and soaked in dilute sulfuric acid at the end."

"……not yet."

"You should read it. It will deepen your understanding of these people," Anna said softly. "For example, the act of penetration. For boycotting monks, it has a special philosophical meaning."
