Why it never ends

"what happened to you?"

"It's nothing serious... It's just that my jaw has been hurting a little lately," Yugali gently rubbed the area under his ears. "It used to hurt when I chewed, and it hurts when I talk a lot recently, so I went to the community hospital for a checkup the day before yesterday, but the doctor I was only prescribed painkillers...Ms. Yu helped me make an appointment with a specialist clinic in a large hospital, saying she was very experienced in this field——"

Before Yugali finished speaking, the phone on the table rang. She picked up the conversation and chatted for a few words, then quickly stood up and went to pick up a packaged file bag from the shelf nearby.

"You eat first," Yugali walked quickly to the entrance, "I'll go downstairs to deliver something and I'll be back in a while."

Hesta put down her chopsticks, "What are you going to do?"

"I recently took on some small translation work. There was a sister behind the building who asked me to look through some old tags for her yesterday. I'm going downstairs to give her the things...it's not far away. She's downstairs."

Hesta glanced out the window, and sure enough, there was a woman holding a mobile phone pacing slowly at the entrance of the stairs.

Yugali took off a hat from the hanger in the entrance hall. She struggled to hide all her long red hair in the hat, and carefully arranged the broken hair on her temples to prevent this special hair color from being revealed as much as possible.

Hesta was a little confused, "Why did you..."

Yugali didn't explain, just lowered his head and quickly put on his shoes, "I'll be up in a minute..."

The door closed very softly, and Hesta looked at the direction where Yugali disappeared with some surprise. After a while, she came to the window again and looked at the woman waiting downstairs.

Soon, Eucalyptus also appeared in the field of vision, and the two chatted for a while. Judging from their expressions, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

……

That afternoon, Yugali sent Hesta to a nearby bus stop. Hesta had always been a little concerned about the other person's hidden hair. Although she could feel Yugali's avoidance on this issue, as she approached the station, she still brought up a joke she had made in Mei County before - At that time, Eleven asked Yugali to hide her hair on the grounds that it was too ostentatious. At that time, Yugali didn't care at all...

"There are some rumors in Orange Town recently. I wonder if you have heard of them..."

"what?"

"It has something to do with the Hesta people." Yugali whispered, "Some people use the Hesta people as a gimmick...to do business."

"You mean Mrs. Katya?"

"...What lady?"

"A cafe owner recently opened a Hestad-themed night restaurant." Hestad replied, "Isn't this the person you are referring to?"

"No." Yugali shook his head, "I helped a neighbor downstairs flip through documents a few days ago. When I went to deliver the materials, I was targeted by the woman from that house. I didn't know why at the time, but the next day I just met two women on the street...who were pretending to be Hesta people, have you met these people recently?"

"We met." Hesta replied.

"Then I knew why I felt the hostility that night. She must have thought of me as... that kind of woman."

"Which?"

Yugali shook his head, "Anyway, I don't want to cause trouble for myself at this time."

In the distance, the bus Hesta was going to take had already appeared around the corner. Yugali looked at the front of the car in the distance, "Well, see you next week -"

"Take this." Hesta suddenly pulled out a note from his pocket and stuffed it into Yugali's hand.

Yugali looked down and found someone's contact information on it.

"...This is?" "A doctor friend of mine." Hesta replied, "I left a message for her when you came downstairs just now. If you are in severe pain, you can ask her about the situation. Although she She may not necessarily have a professional counterpart, but she will definitely be able to find someone who can help you take a look...it doesn't have to wait until next Saturday."

"...I," Yugali held the note and didn't know what to do for a moment, "Okay...I'll go ask-"

"Will you?" Hesta looked into Yugali's eyes, "If you are not going to accept my kindness in the first place, I would rather you tell me directly that this is out of bounds, just like before."

The bus stopped in front of the platform. Passengers came in and out of the front and rear doors. Hesta was still standing there. Yugali suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure - Hesta was waiting for her answer.

"...I will," Yugali whispered, "when necessary."

Hesta waved to her, "See you next week."

……

Hesta only sat on the bus for one stop and then got off. She walked towards the hospital along the original route of the bus.

It was still early at this time, so she walked around many shops slowly. Thinking of Miaomiao's exaggerated number of picture books yesterday, she went into several bookstores in succession, planning to pick a few to take to Shiyi and Qiqi.

Just before three o'clock, Hestad returned to Children's Hospital. But as soon as she arrived at Yi Miao's floor, she heard a series of familiar quarrels. The volume was not loud, but the tone was fierce, causing most people passing by to look sideways.

After careful identification, the voices included Ding Xueyang, Shi Pingchuan, and occasionally Ding Yuqing's arguments and Shi Yimiao's cries...all the sounds came together and successfully made Hesta frown and stop.

… Now is not a good time to show up.

She walked slowly along the corridor and even walked around the water room. When she returned to Miaomiao's ward again, Ding Xueyang's voice was only crying.

Hesta frowned slightly and opened the door - as expected, Shi Pingchuan was standing beside the hospital bed with his hands on his hips.

Hesta greeted the people in the room nonchalantly, but no one looked at her except Ding Yuqing. Everyone's faces showed fatigue - even Tokihirakawa himself.

Hesta walked around behind Ding Yuqing, "What's wrong today?"

Ding Yuqing raised her head, "My sister can't find an enamel cup..."

"Enamel cup?"

"A dark blue cup," Ding Yuqing whispered, "She has been using it for more than ten years..."

"I just saw a dark blue cup in the water room," Hesta suddenly said, "I put it directly on top of the machine."

As soon as Hesta finished speaking, Ding Xueyang ran out of the ward in a hurry and came back soon with his enamel cup.

"...Found it." Ding Xueyang's voice dropped significantly, "It's not missing..."

"Pack your things," Shi Pingchuan interrupted his wife, "Can we leave now?"

"That's enough..." Ding Xueyang murmured in a low voice.

Shi Pingchuan picked up Miaomiao and said, "Okay, just don't waste time anymore... I'll go downstairs and wait for you in the garage. After you finish cleaning up here, come out quickly. Take your time, okay?"

Shi Pingchuan's footsteps faded away, and the whole room suddenly became extremely quiet. Ding Yuqing walked to her sister, sat down, and then let out a long sigh.

Ding Xueyang raised her head in embarrassment. She looked at Hesta and whispered, "...I'm telling you a joke."
