Why it never ends

This time, Eleven was silent for a longer time, her two hands grabbing the hem of her clothes.

"...I just felt that he was a little annoyed, and his yelling was so stupid, so I hit him," Eleven's voice became lower. "It just felt like he was playing a game. I didn't think about anything else."

"You have to think about it."

"...What are you thinking about?"

"What do you think?"

When helping the two parties to explain to each other, Yugali kept observing Eleven's expression. She vaguely felt that Hesta's simple words were too convoluted, and Eleven might not be able to understand them.

Sure enough, Eleven never answered, just looking at his toes.

But after a while, Eleven raised his head, "...don't you like me beating that little boy?"

"Well, I don't like it."

"Why? He can't beat me!" Eleven was puzzled, "He is shorter than me and not as strong as me -"

"Just because he is shorter than you and not as strong as you, your behavior of taking action after being prompted by others... is very bad. It can be said to be very despicable."

Eleven's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"

"Bullying the weak shows that you lack courage; being led by other people's rules shows that you are not smart enough. But fortunately, when others bully you, you still react - otherwise you would be really stupid."

"...What are you talking about!" Eleven jumped off the chair angrily, "When I was at home a few years ago, if any woman was disobedient, my mother would whip her with a whip, and none of them could fight back - not because You can't beat me! This is how the world is. Whoever has a strong fist and a thick whip will be listened to!"

"Then answer me, is Xiaobai the tallest and strongest person here?" Hesta looked at her, "Is her fist the hardest among everyone here?"

Eleven frowned and stopped talking again.

"What you get with your fists and whips today can also be taken away by others with their fists and whips in the future. Have you ever thought about it?"

"But I will grow taller and stronger than everyone else in the future, and no one can bully me!"

"That's in the future, what should we do now?"

Eleven's mouth was solemn, and her eyes were red again. Hesta wanted to pull her back to her. Eleven knocked down Hesta's hand several times. After repeating this for a long time, she sat back down with Hesta and You. The middle of Galli.

"What do you want to do..." Eleven's voice was a little more choked, "No one listens to me now."

"There will be," Hesta said softly, "As long as you restrain yourself."

"...What do you mean, you can't hit people?"

"It should be said that you can't hit people who are shorter than you, you can't hit people who are not as heavy as you, and you can't hit people who are younger than you. Moreover, when you see such people being bullied and targeted, you have to stand up. stop."

"But when I was bullied in the cafeteria, no one came out to help me," Eleven wiped his eyes, "I also told Teacher Xing, and she only asked me to reflect on why I had to lift the table... I didn't even lift the table. , I just knocked over the dinner plates of several of them."

"You did a good job on this."

"...Really?" Eleven glanced at Hesta suspiciously, "But Teacher Xing said this is not good."

"You stopped them and you told everyone that there is a price for offending you, so that's especially good."

Eleven snorted and seemed to want to laugh, but his expression quickly fell.

"...But I don't want to eat alone all the time," Eleven murmured, "I want someone to sit next to me and listen to me." Hesta was silent for a while, and when Eleven's emotions calmed down a little, she spoke in a low voice. : "First go and apologize to the kid you bullied."

"I don't want it!" Eleven replied almost immediately, "I won't hit him again, but I won't apologize either!"

"Why," Hesta asked, "do you dare to do it but not admit it?"

"Everyone beat him at that time! Why should I apologize alone?"

Hesta did not answer immediately. She looked into Eleven's eyes and said, "When you came back, you said you wanted everyone to listen to you, right?"

"Yes, but that has nothing to do with apologizing."

"It doesn't matter," Hesta said softly, "If no one apologizes, so you don't apologize, then what's the difference between you and everyone else?"

Eleven stared at Hesta, still dissatisfied in his eyes.

Hesta continued, "Since there is no difference between you and them, why should they listen to you?"

……

At 01:30 pm, Hestad and Eucalyptus left the Hope Center together.

Before leaving, Hesta sent Eleven to the choir classroom. She stood outside the window and looked inside. The entire classroom was almost full of girls, with a few boys dotted among them. They were generally very small and looked timid.

Eleven strutted in from the front door of the classroom. The sound immediately attracted everyone's attention, and then more students noticed the two red-haired ladies standing by the window - they recognized them at a glance. This person is the adult who took Eleven out to play in the morning.

Eleven soon noticed that everyone's attention turned from her to the window. She turned around and found that Hesta and Yugali were still parked outside, so she waved to them vigorously, signaling them to leave quickly.

The two people outside the window laughed together, and they waved to Eleven in unison, then turned and left.

Until they stepped out of the door of the Hope Center, both Hestad felt a little thirsty.They all talked too much this morning.The two of them went back to the fast food restaurant to refill a glass of water before heading back to the bus stop.

"Jane, do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"

"No." Hesta turned around, "Why do you ask?"

"Just seeing you and Eleven together, it seems like you have a lot of experience in getting along with children."

"……can you?"

Yugali laughed: "Yeah, but that's-"

Before Yugali finished speaking, a bus passed by them.The two stopped talking and chased each other into the car, then followed the crowd to the back of the car.

I don’t know if it’s because there are so many traffic lights on this road, but the car brakes frequently and is very unstable.Hesta firmly grasped the upper armrest, and Yugali held on to the back of the seat nearby with both hands.

"That...sister." A somewhat childish voice came from behind them.

At first, neither of them paid attention, until the voice appeared several times in a row, and Yugali heard the other person speak again, "Sister with red hair!"

Yugali turned around and saw a girl wearing a primary school badge looking at Hesta with a blushing face.

Seeing that the person who turned around was Yugali, the girl's face turned even redder, but she still shouted: "Short-haired one! Red-haired sister!"
