Why it never ends

The team going down the mountain was almost assembled, and everyone was told to take another route to take the cable car. It is said that the bus back to the city is at the end of the cable car, only a few steps away. Eucalyptus jumped with joy in the crowd and turned back to Hesta, "I don't want to take any unnecessary steps!"

However, Hesta looked around and seemed not to be listening at all.

"Jane?" Yugali stepped forward, "What are you looking for?"

Hesta did not explain, but suddenly said, "You go with everyone first, I will follow soon."

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

"I'll be back soon."

Hesta left the crowd and came to the outside of the inn. She walked around the house and soon found Ksenia's figure at the pass on the side of the mountain where they went up. She was alone in the small mountain. I walked slowly on the road and disappeared behind the rocks in the blink of an eye.

Hesta looked at the terrain on both sides and chose the shortest straight path that required climbing. When she jumped lightly and landed on the rock wall behind Kseniya, Kseniya also heard the sound. She raised her head and saw Hesta perched high like an antelope.

"...What are you doing there?" Ksenia asked.

Hesta let go of her hand and jumped down beside Ksenia accurately and lightly.

"Are you coming down tonight?"

"No," Ksenia whispered, "I want to stay and watch the sunrise."

"Then I'll say goodbye to you," Hesta said. "I'm leaving."

Hesta looked at Ksenia in front of her, and suddenly understood why she had been looking forward to saying goodbye to Ksenia alone, preferably without anyone else... Just like this moment, when no one of them spoke. , no one will break the silence, even the silence completely belongs to the two of them.

"Did you have a good time today?" Ksenia asked again.

"Happy." Hesta replied, "Thank you for inviting me here. If there is a next time -"

"Then I don't know how long it will take," Ksenia suddenly laughed, "I'm going to be busy next time. I've spent so much time on dramas. I can't always think about going out for sightseeing... If the Lord If my career progress falls behind, then I will have many people to apologize to."

"Where do you usually stay when you're not traveling?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Can we study together?"

Ksenia didn't answer. She looked at Hesta as if she was thinking about something. Suddenly bursts of singing came from the distance. It was the team going down the mountain. The two of them looked back at the place where the singing came from. Kseniya lowered her head and said, "By the way, there is something for you..."

Hesta watched her take out a photo about one finger long and three fingers wide from her pocket. On the picture was her silhouette standing by the stream waiting to get water.

"...When was it taken?"

"When I came back for the first time, I found that my friend had brought a Polaroid, so I borrowed it and tried it." Kseniya said with a smile, "As a souvenir for you."

Hesta took the photo and twirled the edge of the photo with her index finger and thumb. Just as she was about to say something, Kseniya pushed her back two steps and said, "Go back quickly. The cable car is halfway up the mountain. It will be there in a moment." We're here...if you linger here for too long, you'll miss it."

"...Okay," Hesta put the photo into the inner pocket of his coat, "Well, see you next week."

"See you next week."

On the way back, the bus was very quiet. As soon as everyone arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they found that Meng Meng and several of his friends had already sat in the car in advance. No one gave an explanation for this, and everyone got into the car one after another with a well-known embarrassment - except for Hesta and Yugali, who always stayed out of the gossip. Yugali deduced the outline of the matter with some keen awareness and guessing, while Hesta had no idea about it. The two of them sat back to their original positions with their own thoughts and quietly waited for the train to start.

Not long after setting off, Yugali fell asleep. She kept changing positions, sometimes leaning against the window, sometimes leaning on Hesta's shoulder. Hesta also closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep.

When passing through a certain tunnel, Hesta took out the photo. The lights in the tunnel flooded into the car, illuminating her profile in the photo again and again.

……

At eight o'clock in the evening, the bus stopped at the City Hall Square again.

"Do you still want to come to my house for dinner tomorrow morning?" Yugali yawned and asked, "We have bought all the vegetables and meat. You can cook it if you want..."

"You should rest, I think you are exhausted."

"Okay, okay," Yugali nodded happily, "Then I can sleep in. What are your plans for tomorrow?"

"Go and see Eleven," Hesta replied, "How is your jaw? Is it almost healed?"

"It's not that fast, but I feel better," Yugali said with a smile, "If there is another event like this next time, can you also take me along?"

"Okay, I'll call you when I meet you."

The two stopped at the intersection, and their eyes happened to meet Cheng Xiaoshu on the other side of the road. The three of them waved together. Yugali turned back to say goodbye to Hesta, walked quickly across the crosswalk, and walked to the nearby street with Cheng Xiaoshu. bus stop.

Hesta watched them leave from the spot, then turned and walked to another bus stop. The red light on the street turned green and the vehicles on the road began to move.

Under the night light, a black four-seater car passed her by. Hesta took two more steps forward, suddenly turned around, and started running wildly on the sidewalk in the night.

The black car in front of him was speeding down the empty street. Hesta held on to the speed of the car and jumped on the sidewalk, driving in the opposite direction, trying his best to avoid the oncoming pedestrians. There were screams and curses behind him.

"Molly!" Hesta shouted as she ran, "Molly! Stop! I see you!"

The car's taillights lit up and it quickly pulled over. With a chime, the passenger door opened automatically. Hesta slowed down and stopped outside the car window.

"Molly!" She pressed on the roof of the car, "Finally I caught you! I will guard your office every day this weekend——"

Mo Li looked at her expressionlessly in the car, "...Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

Hesta frowned, "Where?"

"My home." Molly looked at the time and said, "Hurry up, I have a video conference at home at nine o'clock, don't waste my time."

……

At a quarter to nine, Hesta followed Morley into the garage elevator. The car rose all the way up and did not stop until the twenty-first floor.

We are almost at the edge of Orange Town - there are no houses of this height in the city center.

After entering the door and turning on the light, Hesta saw a cold and tidy living room with slate decoration materials everywhere. It didn't look like someone was living in it.

"Put on shoe covers, or take off your shoes," Molly glanced at Hesta's dirty shoes stained with mud and sand. "The slippers and shoe covers are in the cabinet at hand."
