Why it never ends

Chapter 722 Invitation

Xu Ruyi was about to answer when the sound of the door opening came from behind - Ding Yuqing walked out of the room sleepily.

Ding Jiali looked at the time and said, "...are you unable to attend the first class every morning?"

"leave me alone."

"If I weren't your brother, would you think I would care about you?" Ding Jiali stood up, "Look at how you look now -"

Ding Yuqing glanced at her mother and brother, "What are you whispering so early in the morning?"

"Your brother said -"

"Mom!" Ding Jiali's voice suddenly became louder, "What did I just tell you?"

Xu Ruyi laughed awkwardly - Ding Jiali did say not to tell others just now, but how could Yuqing be considered a stranger...

Xu Ruyi didn't explain, she just got up and went to the kitchen to get Ding Yuqing's breakfast.

Ding Jiali dropped the spoon in his hand and walked to Ding Yuqing, "You really need to reflect on your temper. It's become more and more outrageous recently -"

Ding Yuqing impatiently opened her brother's pointing hand, "I told you to leave me alone."

"It's time to take medicine again, right? I'm too lazy to argue with you." Anger appeared on Ding Jiali's face. He deliberately lowered his voice and his eyes widened. "...When there are people at home, you'd better be normal. a little!"

Ding Yuqing stared at the index finger stretched out in front of her. After a few seconds, she suddenly opened her mouth and bit it hard.Ding Jiali was caught off guard and let out a scream.Ding Yuqing withdrew after taking a bite and ran to the kitchen to find Xu Ruyi, leaving Ding Jiali alone in the living room cursing.

……

During the lunch break, Hesta bought four packs of sandwiches and a bottle of water from the vending machine in the teaching building, and ran to the playground he passed in the morning.

However, when she arrived at the bush, she found that the tent and all the debris that had been piled on the grass were gone. The place was clean, leaving only a few holes for fixing the tent.

Hesta walked around the area but couldn't find the girl from the morning.

She sat back down on the stone bench she had sat on in the morning with some disappointment, drank the water alone, and quickly ate the four sandwiches.The irritability at this moment was so familiar that Hesta suddenly realized that maybe everything that happened today was a repeat of her last encounter with Ksenia - yes, she met someone who wanted to continue talking, and then this person Gone, and I don’t know how long it will take to see her again.

…Why didn’t you directly ask for your contact information when I asked for your name this morning?
She looked at her watch—compared to going to the cafeteria in the past, she still had about twenty minutes of free time after lunch today.Hesta stood up and ran and jumped a few steps on the spot as if to warm up. She stretched her neck and tried to reactivate her body in order to completely shake off her mental depression.

A few minutes later, she came to the self-service printing room in the library.Following the operation instructions on the wall, Hestad uploaded the pictures on his phone to the corresponding address, and then waited in front of a machine designed to print photos.

During this period, her eyes slowly scanned the photo frames on the side, and finally stopped on a simple beech wood frame.She picked it up and looked at it, and it felt right. However, she found that the photo frame had no price tag.

There was no one else in the printing room at this time. Hestad looked at the various instructions on the wall again, trying to find some ways to deal with this situation, but...he found nothing.

Just when she was at a loss, the door behind her was pushed open again - Lin Jiao walked in with a document bag.She was still wearing the black soft suit today, with her chest puffed out and her steps steady, like a judge walking into her courtroom.

Another encounter obviously surprised both of them.

"What are you looking for?" Lin Jiao also looked around at the instructions on the wall, "What's wrong with it?"

"I want to buy this." Hesta waved the photo frame in his hand, "But I don't know its price."

"12 yuan." Lin Jiao replied immediately.

She stepped forward and lifted up a fallen card on the far right side of the row of photo frames, with the words "Uniform 12 Robbies" written on it. "But are you sure you want to buy it here?" Lin Jiao turned around, "You can find this kind of photo frame outside, it only costs five yuan at most."

"It's okay," Hesta started to look for her meal card, "I won't look for it anymore. I'll mail everything out after school soon..."

Lin Jiao also noticed the printer Hesta was using. She approached with some curiosity, and soon saw the newly printed photo by Hesta - a little girl standing under the indoor sign of the city hall, staring seriously. Looking at the camera.

"Oh, very impressive!" Lin Jiao held up the photo, "Who is this? Your sister?"

"A child I met yesterday," Hesta replied, "I promised to type this photo and send it to her."

A smile of appreciation appeared on Lin Jiao's face. She turned on another printer. After scanning her student card, she opened the document bag and started copying the manuscript page by page.

"You also went to the city hall to volunteer yesterday?" Lin Jiao asked.

"No, I went to visit..." Hesta replied while observing Lin Jiao's coat. This dress fit her very well, both in terms of cut and cleanliness... But the more he looked at it, the more he looked at it, the more he noticed. Ta was almost more certain that this style was almost the same as that of the girl named Xiang Hanshan in the morning.

"Can I ask a question?" Hesta said suddenly.

"You said."

"I seem to have met a girl today who looks very similar to you and your friends... She wears the same clothes as you-"

"Where did you meet?"

"Very early, before class, in the bushes not far from the playground in front -"

"A tent sleeper?"

"...Yes." Hesta's eyes suddenly lit up, "You know each other!"

"Ah haha, I do know her. You mean Hanshan."

"Is she a student here? Why is she sleeping in a tent?"

"This...how should I put it," Lin Jiao laughed, "It's just a performance art done by a young lady who has no worries about food and clothing in school. Don't worry about it."

"Performance Art?"

"The bad taste of rich people," Lin Jiao operated her black-and-white photocopier. Papers with many black text printed on them continued to flow out of the printing port. She arranged them skillfully, "just understand this as... ...A fairy who has no worries about food and clothing may occasionally want to go down to earth and taste the sufferings of the world."

Hesta stood there, digesting this explanation.

"I heard someone said that you used to be a soldier in District [-]?" Lin Jiao looked at her, "Is this true?"

"...Yeah." Hesta nodded, "I've been doing this for a few years."

"Medical soldiers?"

"Correct."

"Then you must have a lot of experience in surviving in the wild." Lin Jiao piled a few stacks of white paper together and knocked them neatly on the table beside him. "Would you like to come to our club to share it some other time?"
