Why it never ends

Hesta thought for a while.

"If it were you, you wouldn't do anything, would you?"

"Indeed," Lin Jiao looked forward, "I have always discouraged everyone from spending energy on places that are destined to have no repercussions... Have you never considered this issue before taking action?"

Hesta did not answer. Even though Lin Jiao did not say it out loud, she still heard the implication of the other party's words - "In this matter, you will not get the result you want."

"Who designed this year's new logo, you?" Hesta asked.

"what happened?"

"I want to get to know the man who used books to prop up the iron fence." Hesta said softly, "But it doesn't look like you are someone who would invest time in a literary club... Do you?"

"I'm not," Lin Jiao laughed, "but the poetry club is not all a literary club."

……

This night, Hesta had more fun than expected.

On the first night of the poetry club, everyone did not talk about literature, only about life. During the first round of self-introduction, Lin Jiao said that in the last minute of each person’s speech, everyone should use their time to talk about their own advantages. In 1 seconds, they should list as many of their shining and distinctive qualities as possible. The top three Each student will receive a small gift prepared by the poetry club for the newcomers.

"...Do you have any questions about this?" Lin Jiao noticed that there seemed to be some confusion on Hesta's face, "Jane?"

"No problem, I'm just not sure what the use of this kind of link is in self-introduction."

"It allows others to better understand your strengths," Cheng Xiaoshu said, "and it is also an opportunity for you to look at yourself from a positive side."

"Okay," Hesta's eyes were still filled with questions, "I'll give it a try."

After the 5-minute preparation time, everyone’s self-introduction officially began. The first few people were quite reserved, especially when it came to expressing themselves. Often after a few broad, positive words, the spokesperson smiles sheepishly or begins to elaborate on why they think they do possess that quality.

Whenever this happens, Lin Jiao will interrupt, "You just need to keep talking. It's enough. No additional explanation or proof is needed."

However, for most people, it is still quite unfamiliar to present your merits in public. Even if you have drafted it in advance, those short outlines cannot last more than one minute without the proof story. duration.

Until it was Hesta's turn. She sat upright and first said her name and place of origin in the southern [-]th district dialect with a serious expression. Cheng Xiaoshu, who was beside her, had already felt some kind of pressure - she saw Hesta's left hand clasped on her knee, her fingertips slightly exerted, like an athlete waiting for the starting gun to sound before taking off.

When Lin Jiao started counting his watches as usual, Hestad began to boast in common language as if he was telling the names of dishes - brave, reliable, quick-witted, good at cooperation, resilient, able to quickly adapt to different natural environments, good at being alone, and willing to teach to younger generations. Provide any help you can...she continued without pausing. When there were only the last ten seconds left, Hesta's speaking speed even doubled.

"...Time's up." Lin Jiao put down her hands and looked at Cheng Xiaoshu, "How many did she just say?"

Cheng Xiaoshu was startled, "...I forgot until the end of the count." "There should be more than 50." Someone in the crowd raised their hands, "...a conservative estimate."

The people sitting around belatedly began to applaud Hesta - so far, it seems that Hesta is the only one who takes the "competitive nature" of this game seriously, but in any case, it's okay to think of so many advantages at once. It is really rare, not to mention the tone when she described herself just now was so natural, without any embarrassment or uneasiness caused by modesty, which is particularly impressive.

Hesta clearly felt the changes in the people present. She originally did not believe that this session could help everyone understand each other better, but the attitude of everyone at this moment made her even more confused about how to react.

"It's amazing," the girl sitting on Hesta's left sighed, "How could you think of so many things at once?"

Hesta was thinking about how to answer when another person said, "I should add another one. After all, being good at discovering your own strengths is also a very powerful advantage."

Hesta tried to explain. In her opinion, being able to speak out these advantages was not a skill. After all, she had received too many compliments in the past. Tonight was nothing more than reciting some of the comments in series, and Nothing unusual. In fact, compared to these general remarks, she still prefers those analyzes that are specific to herself.

This explanation once again aroused everyone's surprise - just the sentence "I received too many compliments" caused many people to sigh.

Lin Jiao thought for a while, "If that's the case, then from now on you can skip this initial step of counting your watch and boasting... How about you change the subject?"

"what?"

"You are responsible for observing the strengths of all of us here. When it is your turn to speak, you will speak in turn."

Hesta nodded, "You can try it too."

So the self-introductions continued and he soon reached Lin Jiao.

Before introducing herself, Lin Jiao first talked about the origin of the Islands Poetry Society. Although Lin Jiao also spoke this paragraph in the southern [-]th district dialect, Hesta could understand it more or less - for example, this is an extremely young club, and all activities only started last year, but this poetry club It also has a long history, which can almost be traced back to the beginning of the establishment of the University of Technology. However, there were some changes in the middle, and the poetry club was disbanded for a period of time.

The poetry club has two activity times every week, one on Friday and one on Monday. Everyone can choose the time to participate according to their own time schedule. It should be noted that the location of each event is not fixed and will only be notified at short notice on the day of the event, so everyone needs to pay attention to keeping communication open.

In addition, if you are absent for four consecutive times without any reason, it will be deemed to have automatically exited, and information related to future activities will no longer be sent to the corresponding person's mobile phone.

In contrast, no member can bring members from outside the club to participate in club activities without authorization. If you violate this rule once, you will be deemed to have automatically withdrawn from the club.

Everyone listened very carefully, and some even solemnly wrote it on the title page of their notebooks.

Later, each person in turn talked about something that had confused or worried him or her in the past few weeks. Some talked lightly, some talked deeply, but almost every topic sent ripples through the rest.

The scene was very much like the support groups Hestad had been part of in the past - everyone talked, everyone listened, and everyone comforted her.
