Why it never ends

Hesta frowned and ignored it.

Lin Jiao turned sideways, "How was your little speech this afternoon? Did it go well?"

"...Xiaoshu told you?"

"I took a look at it when she was helping you revise the manuscript," Lin Jiao said softly. She suddenly took a step closer, "Isn't that red velvet part a personal experience?"

Hesta responded.

"It's good. I lived on campus when I was a teenager...but I didn't meet any good roommates." Lin Jiao moved his shoulders and arms, "Did Teacher Chen give you a review this afternoon?"

"There was no speech," Hesta whispered. "Zuo Wentao came to listen to the class in the afternoon. I don't know what he said to Teacher Chen. Anyway, Teacher Chen didn't let me come on stage... There was a young man from the supervision team yesterday. The teacher came to me and wanted to contact Zuo Wentao to have a private conversation with me, but I waited for two hours and Zuo Wentao didn't show up."

Lin Jiao laughed out loud, "It's not surprising."

"Ok, I know."

"you know?"

"That's how you want to deal with these things through regular procedures," Hesta said in a low voice. "The other party has been in this system for a long time and is familiar with all the rules...otherwise he wouldn't be able to bully me."

"You can see clearly," Lin Jiao looked at Hesta's expression, "I thought you were going to get into trouble."

"How do you think it's too late?"

"I think about it day and night, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get, and I scream at the sky...?" Lin Jiao thought for a while, "If you can't find a solution, aren't you aggrieved?"

"Who says I can't find a solution."

"What's your solution...?"

Hesta looked forward, "I know how to solve this kind of problem. Someone taught me a long time ago, but now I am not a weakling, so I want to try another way."

Lin Jiao looked at the person in front of him thoughtfully.

After a while, Ding Yuqing quickly returned between the two of them, "Long wait!"

"It won't be long," Hesta said, "Let's go."

……

From the moment she entered the tennis court, Ding Yuqing felt a subtle sense of being out of place - compared to most people here, her clothes seemed too refined.

Ding Yuqing really didn't expect that this club activity that was held at night would choose an outdoor venue. Her body was still warm when she was walking around just now, but now she was sitting on the floor with everyone, and a chill really made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Cold?"

"It's okay." Ding Yuqing closed the collar of her short coat, "I thought such activities would be done indoors..."

"Last time we were indoors," Hesta replied. "I guess I didn't make an appointment at an indoor venue today, so I had to make do with it."

As he said that, Hesta took off his coat and said, "If you're cold, put this over your head."

The instinctive "No thanks" was almost on her lips, but Ding Yuqing forced herself to hold it back. She took Hesta's coat and whispered her thanks. Ding Yuqing looked at the girls here. When his eyes glanced at one of them, the other person happened to be looking at her, with a bit of cold hostility in his eyes. When their eyes met, the other person first looked away.

Ding Yuqing leaned towards Hesta, "...Jian, do you know that girl?"

"Who?"

"The one sitting next to the tall girl," Ding Yuqing pointed at Lin Jiao, "the one on her left."

"Xiang Hanshan." Hesta replied, "He seems to be one of the founders of the Poetry Society."

"……Oh."

Ding Yuqing scratched her cheek. She suddenly regretted agreeing to Hesta's invitation. Although the event had not started yet and she and Hesta had only sat down not long ago, she already felt that she did not seem to belong to this place. But what should she do? , they are all here...

Lin Jiao raised his hand and motioned for everyone to look at Hesta and Ding Yuqing, "These two are the newcomers today. They have not participated in Friday's activities. This is the first time I meet you today."

As she said that, she looked at Hesta and said, "Most of the old club members are doing activities on Friday. You two introduce yourselves. If you have any questions, I will ask you directly... Who among you will start first?"

Ding Yuqing raised her hands in great appreciation, then hugged her knees and introduced her basic information - a high school student, a native of Songxue, currently living in Orange Town with her family, and studying in high school... Everyone sat around. Circle, Ding Yuqing's eyes were always fixed on the open space in the middle. Several times during this period, she pretended to raise her head inadvertently, and her eyes quickly passed over Lin Jiao. And every time, Lin Jiao's gaze from Xiang Hanshan would make her feel a slight discomfort.

After the speech, many people raised their hands curiously. They asked a variety of questions, ranging from favorite authors, what books they are reading recently, to personal interests and hobbies. At first, Ding Yuqing was a little restrained, but as she went on, her expression became more and more natural. .

"Do you have any favorite sports?"

Ding Yuqing quickly said: "Skiing and snorkeling."

This answer instantly aroused surprise. In this place where most people expected to hear about running, swimming, and badminton, Ding Yuqing's answer instantly drew a clear line.

"Skiing and snorkeling~" Xiang Hanshan repeated Ding Yuqing's answer silently, taking an unbearable deep breath.

"...What's wrong with you?" Lin Jiao turned around, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Xiang Hanshan glared at Lin Jiao, "I'm very fine."

Not far away, Ding Yuqing continued, "Every winter and summer vacation, I go on vacation with my sister. We go skiing in the mountains in winter and go to the beach in summer. My sister taught me skiing, and she is very good at it; and every time Every time I go to the beach, I always take advantage of my sister’s daughter——”

"Wait a minute," Xiang Hanshan suddenly interrupted Ding Yuqing, "is your sister's daughter your niece?"

Ding Yuqing didn't react for a moment, "Uh...right."

"Niece means niece, or sister's daughter." Xiang Hanshan looked at her, "You wouldn't call your grandma 'father's mother', right?"

Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Xiang Hanshan, and the sudden hostility was so obvious that everyone was aware of it. Ding Yuqing felt like she should explain something, but at the moment her mind went blank and she couldn't say a word.

"...What does it matter?" Lin Jiao held up his face and turned his head, "'Sister's daughter' is pretty good. Don't you think that 'foreign' sounds ugly?"

"She is free to do whatever she likes. I'm just reminding you." Xiang Hanshan said softly. She looked at Ding Yuqing and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you. You can continue."

Ding Yuqing's nerves picked up again. Her throat moved and she whispered, "Well... we didn't go anywhere this summer. We stayed in Orange Town. I guess... this winter too."
