Why it never ends

The smile on Lin Jiao's face froze for a moment. In this noisy cafeteria, the sudden silence between the two people was like a tangible barrier, briefly separating them.

"I'm going to class," Hesta said softly, "Goodbye."

Hesta stood up, grabbed the dinner plate and left. Lin Jiao suddenly turned around and grabbed her right sleeve, "Wait a minute."

The two chopsticks fell out as Hesta stopped. Lin Jiao leaned over to pick them up, stood up and put them back on Hesta's plate.

"This Friday and next Monday at [-]:[-] p.m., we will have a one-hour club orientation activity. If you have something to do tonight, you can also catch up with the activity on Monday night, but no matter what, I hope you can come." Lin Jiao said seriously. Looking into Hesta's eyes, "After the event, I will give you an explanation about our attitude towards Ava Morgan. If your avoidance of us during this period is only because of this incident... What do you think."

"……let me consider it."

"Okay." Lin Jiao let go, "Thank you for being candid today."

Hesta walked all the way to the plate recycling port, then turned around, Lin Jiao was still sitting there eating.In this noisy crowd, Lin Jiao's silhouette is very easy to recognize, because most people are either browsing their mobile phones with their heads down or chatting and watching TV. She is almost the only one who is concentrating on eating.

Hesta put down her plate and walked out of the cafeteria. She suddenly felt better.No matter what, having such a straightforward and clear-cut chat with Lin Jiao will really make people feel a little relieved.

Hesta trotted all the way back to Wenhui Building, thinking about how to deal with the relationship with the Islands Poetry Club. At this time, a text message rang from her phone. She thought it was something happened at Si Lei, so she turned on the screen Only then did I realize that the person writing the letter was Ding Yuqing:

"Jane, are you free now?"

"Class is about to begin, what's wrong?"

"When you finish class tonight, can you come to the Children's Hospital? The address is No. 4 Huimin Road. Give me a call when you arrive and I will go down to pick you up."

……

At around seven o'clock, Ding Yuqing received a call from Hesta, saying that she had arrived at the door of the hospital.Ding Yuqing immediately went downstairs and soon saw Hesta's tall figure in the crowd.

From a distance, Hesta also saw Ding Yuqing, and she ran quickly in the direction of Ding Yuqing.

"...Didn't you say there are classes tonight?" Ding Yuqing asked.

"I came here right after my name was called," Hesta replied, "What's wrong with you here?"

"Ah? Didn't I delay you?"

"No delay, that's what I did last week."

"I really had no choice but to ask you for help... Can you help send my sister home tonight? We are a little worried about letting my sister go home alone."

Hesta looked at the time, "Where is your sister?"

"Still in the ward..."

The two went upstairs chatting.During the conversation, Hesta finally realized that since Miao Miao had a fever this Wednesday night, Xu Ruyi and Ding Xueyang had started running between the hospital and home like a relay. No wonder Ding Jiali ordered takeout when she returned home last night. She actually forgot to ask why she hadn't seen Ms. Xu much in the past two days.

"Originally I didn't need to bother you. I just came to help on the weekend, but today my mother slipped when she went to collect water from the water room and twisted her waist." "...Are you okay?"

"Fortunately, it's in the hospital... several nurses took her away on the spot. My sister was notified until the doctor was done with it," Ding Yuqing said softly, "It's not convenient for her to move now, and the bed in the room next to ours happens to be empty. , Anyway, let’s rest in the hospital for one night and we’ll see how things go tomorrow.”

"Where is your brother-in-law? And where is Ding Jiali?"

"My brother-in-law is on a business trip these two days and won't be able to come back soon...Ding Jiali," Ding Yuqing chuckled, "Who knows what he is busy with every day, anyway, I can't call him."

Pushing open the ward door, Hesta saw the unfamiliar faces of a family, one old and one young, who looked about the same age as Xu Ruyi and Ding Xueyang. The child on the bed was sleeping and looked a few years younger than Miaomiao.

Hesta nodded to them and they smiled back.There are four beds in the ward, each bed is separated by a light green curtain, with Ding Xueyang and Miaomiao at the innermost.

The two of them tiptoed through the ward. Hesta first saw an empty bed, and then discovered that Ding Xueyang was holding Miaomiao and sitting on a chair next to the green curtain.Behind Ding Xueyang, there are some open picture books and uneaten fruits on a bedside table with a mottled table top.

Miaomiao seemed to be asleep. The medicine bottle hanging with water hung above her head, the transparent infusion tube hung down, and the purple needle and white tape were attached to Miaomiao's forehead.

Ding Xueyang's hand gently stroked her daughter's back. She heard the sound, looked up at Hesta and Ding Yuqing, and silently said hello to the two people in front of her.

"...Why are you hitting here?" Hesta asked Ding Yuqing in a very soft voice while pointing to her forehead.

"Miao Miao likes to move around," Ding Yuqing said softly. "Whenever I move the needle, it will be crooked. If it is crooked, I have to hit it hard. In the past two days, all the blood vessels in my hands and feet have been tied."

Hesta nodded thoughtfully.

Even in her sleep, Shi Yimiao was still clutching her mother's hair tightly. She frowned with a serious expression, as if she was about to vent her dissatisfaction at the next moment.

Ding Yuqing stepped forward, "...I'll hold you for a while, and you can get up and walk?"

Ding Xueyang nodded and carefully handed Miao Miao to his sister's arms with a painful expression. The pain caused by sitting for a long time made her take a deep breath, and Hesta couldn't help but stepped forward to help her.

Almost at this moment, Shi Yimiao opened her eyes.When she dimly realized that the person in front of her had changed from her mother to her aunt, her little body suddenly burst out with huge energy, and she cried loudly with a hoarse voice.Ding Xueyang quickly stepped forward and hugged the child in his arms again, and kept whispering "Mom is here" and "Mom is not leaving".

However, it was all to no avail. The remaining three children in the ward woke up from their sleep one after another. The children's cries quickly spread throughout the ward like wildfire meeting the autumn wind.

Hesta had a headache. She sat down in front of the bed with Shi Yimiao's nameplate without saying a word.

After a while, the nurse came to check the situation and helped Shi Yimiao pull out the needle on her forehead. But even so, Miao Miao still cried and called for her mother. No matter how Ding Xueyang and Ding Yuqing tried to comfort her, the crying still did not stop. momentum.

Ding Xueyang was still trying to comfort him, while Ding Yuqing beside him was on the verge of collapse.Her chest kept rising and falling, and her eyes grew angrier as she looked at Shi Yimiao.

Before she completely exploded, her left hand was suddenly held by Hesta.

"Let's go for a walk." Hesta said softly, "It's too noisy here."
