Why it never ends

Chapter 620 Can Be Better

Qianye in the distance noticed the movement behind him and looked back. Hesta immediately raised his hand and waved it. Qianye smiled, changed his sitting position into a half-squat, and prepared to end the conversation with Su Lei.

"Let's go here," Qianye said softly, "Don't do such a thing next time."

Su Lei also looked back, and Lico and Hesta in the distance waved to her at the same time.

"...Li Ke told me a story on the boat before." Su Lei said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Dopulos' sole," Su Lei said in a low voice, "seems to be very famous inside your mercury needles."

"Hmm, well, what's the matter?"

"I'm thinking back on everything that happened on the Shengming, and everything seems to be condensed into this story," Su Lei said in a low voice. "To what extent did you participate in this matter?"

Qianye took a deep breath, stood up on her knees, "Let's put it this way, Su Lei, all your...guesses, you can write them into your report—what you see, what you hear, What you have experienced, what you suspect...anything is fine, I have only one request: let everything that happened on the ship fall on the ship, and don't change the past."

"You mean Hesta's time in Tany—"

"I don't mean any specific things," Qianye interrupted Si Lei, "Some things should have passed."

Su Lei also stood up, "Of course my report will truthfully state everything I saw on the ship: the night banquet, the massacre, the rules, the instigator Anna...including the crime of these soldiers shooting down ordinary passengers in the end, I will truthfully state everything. Record. Even if you didn't give me this kind of forgiveness, I would still do it, and you can't threaten me with anything, Chiba."

Qianye stared at Si Lei delicately.

"...But I can promise you that everything that happens on the ship, only falls on the ship."

"That's good!" Qianye laughed heartily, and she patted Si Lei's arm, "You will become famous, officer! I'll go first!"

Chiba walked towards Hesta and the others with big strides, and Liu Silei stood alone in the cold wind.

Chiba signaled Rico and Hesta to follow her, Rico pushed the wheelchair and quickly turned around, Hesta on the wheelchair turned back again, and looked at Si Lei at the bow.

Su Lei waved goodbye to her, and Hesta also grabbed the air in Su Lei's direction, and then quickly disappeared into the hull.

……

Chiba brought the two of them to a conference hall under the ship.

She put Rico and Hesta in the corner and got herself a cup of coffee.

"Why don't you two wait in the tea room above?" Chiba asked.

"Jane thinks it's boring up there," Li Ke replied, "We just went out for a walk."

"Alright, I have something to tell you later," Qianye glanced at the two of them, "Sit here first, and I'll come to you when I finish my work later."

Rico gave Hesta a meaningful look, and his eyes were quite smug—look at what I just said.

People began to enter the entrance of the conference hall—they were three elderly men in navy uniforms. Chiba put down his cup, turned and walked over there.

Hesta watched the visitors silently for a while, then leaned towards Rico, "...do you recognize their epaulettes, why don't I seem to have seen them?"

"It should be in the shape of District [-]," Li Ke whispered, "They completely changed the design of all the military decorations last year, and I don't know what these are... I have to look it up, but I guess these few I'm the captain of three cruisers, looks like it."

"……I feel so too."

In the distance, several people took off their white gloves and shook hands with Chiba one after another. Their expressions seemed to be reminiscing with old friends they hadn't seen for many years. There was both familiarity and caution in their expressions.

"Miss Chiba seems to know them very well." Hesta whispered.

"It's not surprising, Qianye is always running around, and there are people she knows everywhere."

Hesta frowned slightly, "I've been traveling all over the world, but I don't seem to know many other friends until now..."

"You have different personalities."

Hesta frowned even deeper, "What's the difference?"

"Hmm..." Li Ge thought for a while, "Every time you went out to perform missions before, did you leave after completing the mission, and never participated in receptions, celebration banquets, etc."

"Those things are boring."

"Here, here it is. A lot of human relationships are created at this time. If you don't drink, you won't have a chance to listen." Li Ke leaned back in his chair, half-closed his eyes, "But what's the matter?" , anyway, your ambition is not here."

"...but I also want to know what they're talking about."

Hesta's eyes never left the conversation table of the four people. After entering the formal conversation, the expressions of several people were obviously much more serious. Chiba's fingers tapped the document several times. Although the expression was not serious, it made the other three People fell into anxiety at the same time.

Li Ke looked towards Hesta, "If you're curious, just ask her later?"

"no……"

Hesta shook his head. This was the first time Hesta had really watched Chiba on the negotiating table. It was completely different from her on the battlefield, in life, and in life.Hesta didn't know how to explain this feeling to Lico—the kind of influence she had worked so hard to gain in front of people in the past half a month, suddenly found it in Qianye at this moment.

"What's that?" Rico asked.

"...I might have felt it all of a sudden," Hesta looked at Chiba, "...the gap?"

"What do you compare with Chiba? She is older than you and must have more experience—"

"But when she brought me back to the base, Miss Chiba was 20 years old, and I am also [-] this year." Hesta whispered, "What was Miss Chiba doing back then, and what am I doing now?"

"simple……"

"I'm fine," Hesta still frowned, "I'm just wondering why I've never thought about this before—"

"Jane." Rico solemnly interrupted Hesta's words, "Is Anna instilling some weird ideas in you? You have never been anxious about such things before."

"Anna..."

Hesta suddenly remembered the scene where Anna hit her head with a cane when she and Anna parted for the last time, and the feeling mixed with disgust and unwillingness surfaced again.

"You may be too tired." Li Ke leaned back on the chair again, her body slowly slid down, her hands clasped on her stomach, "Come, follow me, take a deep breath——

"Don't think about those things," Li Ke said softly, "You know, you are fine now, very fine."

"It can be better."

Hesta thought so, closed his eyes, and began to breathe according to the rhythm given by Rico.
