Why it never ends

"Where is the mountain?"

"I didn't ask in detail." Hesta replied, "My friend just said it would be next week, so I agreed."

"You agreed without even asking where you were going?"

"Hmm..." Hesta scratched her ears unnaturally, "Isn't it always mountain climbing wherever you go?"

Yugali smiled, "If it's not too far, can I go with you?"

Just as Hesta was about to agree, he suddenly remembered what happened to Ding Yuqing last time and remained silent.

"Oh, don't be stressed, I don't have to go." Yugali turned around, "I went to see a doctor this week. What she said was similar to what your friend said. It's not a big problem, it's just self-care. Adjust and relax more..."

"That's good." Hesta took out his mobile phone, "I'm not under any pressure. The main thing is that I'm not an organizer. What I say doesn't count... I'm asking now."

Yugali observed Hesta's reaction from the corner of his eye, secretly worried that his sudden request would embarrass the other party, but fortunately, whether he was editing a text message or receiving a reply, Hesta's face always had a look of embarrassment. You Ruowu smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Okay," Hesta raised her head, "I gave her your contact information. When everything is settled, she will create a group for everyone."

……

In the afternoon, Hesta returned home. When she opened the door, she saw a few extra pairs of men's shoes on the shoe cabinet.

The living room has returned to its usual deserted state, except for some noises in the kitchen, and no one can be seen anywhere.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Aunt Hong came out of the kitchen and took a look, "Oh, Miss He."

"Is no one here?" Hesta asked softly.

"Mr. Ding and his son are all sleeping in the room," Aunt Hong replied. "They must be very tired after being in the hospital for the past few days."

Hesta understood the general idea and asked, "Where are Yuqing and the others?"

"They are all in the room too. Mr. Ding needs to rest. Don't make too much noise." Aunt Hong thought of something, "By the way, a guest will come to you this afternoon and ask you to call between 5:30 and 6 o'clock this afternoon. ...this number.”

Hesta looked at the time, it was almost a quarter past five.

"Who kept it?"

"A lady named Yu." Aunt Hong said, "By the way, she also left a book for you."

Hesta stepped forward and took the note and book. There was an unfamiliar number written on the paper, which looked like a landline. The book was very old and looked like a novel. Hestad flipped through it casually. The book quickly stopped at the page with the bookmark. On the bookmark, there was a line of text written in the third area: Do not use your mobile phone. .

Hesta raised her head, "Thank you."

"polite."

Hesta returned to the room with her things. As soon as she entered the room, she saw the wooden bird on the table. She turned around and opened the closet a crack, "Hi."

Ding Yuqing closed the door again, "Just pretend I'm not here."

Hesta squatted down, "What's wrong?"

"Miaomiao poured water over my room. My wardrobe, bed, bookshelf...everywhere was soaked. I'm so annoyed." Ding Yuqing whispered, "Can I stay here for a while?"

"Why would she..."

"She said I was a bad person and wanted to instigate her parents to divorce."

"...Well," Hesta understood, "has her father come back?"

"I'm back and took her shopping."

Hesta was still squatting on the spot. She wanted to comfort Ding Yuqing, but she couldn't find a suitable reason. Finally, she lightly knocked on the wooden board of the closet a few times and whispered, "You can stay, but you can lend me Check your cell phone?"

"doing what?"

"Let me make a call," Hesta said, "My mobile phone is in arrears." The closet opened a crack again, Hesta took the phone and thanked her softly.

At half past five, she made the call on time. After about four or five waiting tones, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "Jane?"

Hesta was stunned in place and almost called out the other party's name - Miss Chiba.

"Can you hear it?" Chiba asked.

"……able."

"What's wrong, is there someone else with you now?"

"Correct."

"I'll give you a few minutes to find a place where you can talk, but don't leave your home."

Hesta took her cell phone and left her room. She looked left and right in the living room, and her eyes quickly moved to the attic - the door she had just hired someone to replace a few days ago was now in use.

Not long after, Hestad entered the attic and locked the door.

"All right."

"What number are you using to call me now?"

"The little daughter who lives here," Hesta replied, "I borrowed her cell phone."

"I heard that your risk level has increased, so I took a look at your latest monthly assessment image," Chiba said softly, "Aren't you happy?"

"Well..." Hesta frowned, "I..."

"I'm going to Songxueyuan next week, do you need to see me?"

"What did you do there?"

"Looking for Si Lei," Qianye replied, "Some things have to be discussed with her face to face. My original plan was to stay in Songxueyuan for two hours, but Songxueyuan is quite close to your place. If you need it, I will Take a trip to Orange Town. It depends on what you think."

"I'm fine," Hesta replied. "I can handle the situation as it is."

"Really, then I won't come over." Qianye said with a smile, "I heard Yu Xuekun talk about some things you have encountered recently. If these trivial things in the livable land give you a headache, you can make trouble. Big brother, let them arrest you directly. During the next one-year imprisonment, I will find you a place that is conducive to recuperation, maybe in the third district or the north fourteenth district. By then you can be in the mountains and forests. Go hunting, ride horses, do whatever you want—"

"No," Hesta said immediately, "I don't want to leave here yet..."

"Are you sure?"

"Okay." Hesta grabbed the phone tightly, "I made some new friends."

"In this way," Qianye was a little surprised, "It's okay, you decide for yourself, don't force it."

"By the way, this number is-"

"This is a temporary number, and it will be invalid after half an hour." Qianye said, "If I have time in the future, I will ask Yu Xuekun to send you news like today, but remember, don't leave it outside your home. Contact me somewhere.”

"I know." Hesta said softly, "Their surveillance here will be relatively relaxed."

"You know? Who told you?"

"...Anna."

"She?" Qianye suddenly smiled, "She is still in contact with you?"

"It's the rules on the ship," Hesta whispered, "I found some that seem to work here."

Chiba on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and Hesta heard a faint laugh coming from the other side.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, you should go to Yu Xuekun," Qianye said, "Try not to embarrass her, okay."
