Why it never ends

People who had reached the top of the mountain began to gather again to take photos. Until then, someone finally discovered that Ksenia had disappeared. Several strong members of the club turned back the same way - there was no one on the low rock where they had rested together, but there were vague footprints at another intersection leading to the top of the mountain.

After hearing the news, everyone became nervous. Several more experienced members of the mountaineering club knew very well that the trail was difficult to travel after the rain. If Ksenia went on the road alone and hadn't shown up yet, she might have already Encountered some danger and was trapped somewhere.

Some people advocated calling the police immediately, while others advocated going to the side road for rescue. No one could make up their minds for a while. Suddenly, someone glanced at the mountains in the distance, and a bright yellow figure in her field of vision immediately caught her attention.

"...Is that Ksenia!"

Everyone turned around when they heard the sound and saw two vague shadows behind the rocks in the distance. One was Ksenia, yes, and the other was a big guy...

"Jane?" Ding Jiali recognized Hesta's figure. He suddenly realized something and immediately searched around for the little beauty he had seen at the intersection in the morning - that girl came with Hesta. He originally I thought that the two of them would act together, but I didn't expect that Hesta and her other friends went to challenge the mountain path... Doesn't this mean that the girl was alone along the way?

Three or four people ran quickly to Kseniya with towels and water.

"They saw us." Ksenia turned back and looked at Hesta, "We are here."

"Ksenia..."

"Ok?"

"Did you take this path on a temporary basis, or was it your original plan?"

"What do you think?"

"This road is too dangerous and not suitable for ordinary hiking," Hesta said softly, "Don't say that you are alone, even if you walk with friends, it may not necessarily be safe..."

"After all, this is my first time, so I have no experience," Ksenia said with a smile, "It will be much better next time."

Hesta was startled, "...Is this your first time leaving?"

"This is a road that Teacher Chen often walked before," Kseniya said softly, "She said she would take me on a trip if she had the chance... But her knees are bad now and she cannot participate in today's event. "

Before Kseniya finished speaking, several members of the drama club had already rushed to their side. The girls anxiously asked about their situation. Kseniya untied her raincoat and wrapped it in the aluminum foil blanket they handed her. upper body.

"Is there alcohol and iodophor?" Hesta asked.

"Yes!" One person looked at her, "Are you injured?"

Hesta grabbed Ksenia's arm, "She should have scratches on her hands and feet, and they need to be disinfected as soon as possible-"

Kseniya smiled and took away her hand. She looked at her companions, asked in a low voice where Teacher Wu was, and then walked quickly towards the direction of the large army - many people were standing in the distance looking at her. Ksenia returned to the crowd, and many people immediately gathered around her with concern and couldn't wait to hug her.

Suddenly, Hesta heard a heartfelt sigh from the person next to her. She turned her head, "...What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel that Ksenia has so many friends. She has only been here for more than a month and everyone seems to know her." The girl next to her held Hesta's left arm. "Are you okay, classmate? Are you injured?" Hesta just shook his head. She walked slowly, her eyes following Ksenia's back, remaining silent.

In front of a stone monument on the top of the mountain, Hesta sat down alone. She took off her raincoat and began to dry her hair.

The rain has stopped, the sun is cold and biting, and the sun doesn't make you feel warm. Kseniya came back to look for her once, but Hesta seemed to have lost interest. Kseniya left some packaged food and a bag of cotton towels, and returned to her friends.

It was difficult for Hesta to explain the change in her mood at this moment. Perhaps the previous conversation about cloud research brought her back to reality prematurely. In short, when the cold wind blew over, Hesta suddenly felt the rain just now. Just like a wet dream, those dreamlike lights and shadows fade away silently like the tide at this moment.

"Jane!" Yugali panted and sat next to Hesta, interrupting her contemplation unexpectedly, "I've been looking for a long time and thought you were missing... It turns out you are here!"

Hesta turned her head and saw that Yugali's face was blue, his lips were slightly purple, and his face was covered with messy hair.

"……How are you?"

"No," Yugali turned around to get the water in his bag, still breathing rapidly, "I...I'm telling you, my journey has been...so embarrassing!"

"What's wrong? Don't be impatient and tell me slowly?"

"Do you still remember the old man walking behind me on our way up the mountain?" Yugali smiled bitterly, "I was worried that he was walking slowly and that he would fall behind, but... But she chased you less than twenty minutes after you left. She fell in love with me - she walked slowly, but she didn't stop from beginning to end, her hands and feet were very steady... Me, I watched her walk away, but she turned back halfway and said she was alone. My physical strength is not very good, and I am worried that I will be scared on the road alone, so walk with me..."

Yugali drank the water, calmed down, leaned next to Hesta, and whispered, "I asked her age... Do you know how old she is? She is sixty-eight! I still have physical strength. Not as good as a sixty-eight-year-old lady! That’s ridiculous!”

Hesta smiled and said, "Teacher Wu is so awesome."

"Ah." Yugali nodded, "She said that several of their teachers used to organize hiking activities. She had climbed this mountain dozens of times. She also said that she looked at my face and asked me if I was a freshman this year. I will participate in more of their activities in the future——"

"Ah ha, you are here." Ding Jiali's voice came from not far away, "I passed by here three times and didn't recognize you."

Hesta turned around and saw Ding Jiali walking towards this direction. Behind him was a young man with a nervous expression. The man was struggling to pull the button on the collar of the disposable raincoat. When he got closer, he quickly moved towards Hesta glanced over and flashed a smile.

"How is it! The scenery here is not bad!" Ding Jiali walked to Yugali, then crossed his hands and said with a smile, "It's strange, I didn't seem to see you much along the way. ?”

"...I walk slower." Yugali replied softly.

"They were handing out souvenir keychains over there just now. Did you two take them?" Before the two of them could answer, Ding Jiali began to take off the shoulder straps of his backpack, "I still have some here, just enough for you..."

He took off his backpack with a cool gesture, "Sinan, help me take the bag!"

Before Mesnan could react, a huge backpack hit his chest. He stumbled back two steps and fell to the ground on his back.
