Why it never ends

After thinking wildly all night, Ding Jiali finally stayed up until dawn. He pushed open the door to the living room in a daze and found Ding Guisheng already sitting at the dining table.

Ding Guisheng put down the newspaper, raised his eyes and glanced at his son, "Good morning."

"Morning." Ding Jiali replied weakly.

This weak voice immediately aroused Ding Guisheng's displeasure. He always disliked seeing young people without vitality. Ding Guisheng frowned and looked at Ding Jiali with disgust, but Ding Jiali turned around and opened the refrigerator and picked out breakfast.

Seeing that Ding Jiali didn't look back for a long time, Ding Guisheng became bored and went back to reading the newspaper.

Xu Ruyi quickly brought up a plate of peeled kiwi fruit. She asked Ding Jiali to quickly mix the pulp into the yogurt, but Ding Jiali didn't listen at all. He stirred the yogurt with one hand and stared at Ding Guisheng opposite, who was reading the newspaper.

He had heard a little bit about the love story between Ding Guisheng and Xu Ruyi, and there were quite a few old scenes in it about risking one's life for love... But after getting along with each other for these years, Ding Jiali did feel that there was some real affection between them.

After all, Ding Guisheng never looks for women outside.

But how to say it? Could it be that Xu Ruyi was the only one in Ding Guisheng's eyes?

...It’s not impossible. Ding Jiali thought that even though half of her bloodline comes from Ding Guisheng, the two sisters Ding Xueyang and Ding Yuqing are still so beautiful, which shows how outstanding Xu Ruyi was when she was young...

But is this a beautiful thing?

Ding Xueyang is very similar to Xu Ruyi from personality to appearance, isn't Shi Pingchuan the same...

Thinking of this, Ding Jiali suddenly stared deeply into Ding Guisheng's face:

Is it true that he never looks for women, or is he so clever that he has never been discovered?

For a moment, Ding Jiali's heart sank.

In the past, he had always looked down on people who paid for sex secretly - that was how the lower class obtained sex. He felt that prostitution was almost akin to an intellectual defect, because the risks and benefits were completely unequal. He couldn't understand how anyone would take the risk of suffering from chronic illnesses for the rest of their lives in exchange for a few hours of happiness.

Once you get married and you are tired of looking at your wife at home, can't you find one or two more confidants to keep you company? He had never found it difficult in this matter, let alone Shi Pingchuan, who had better conditions than him.

But Ding Jiali thinks that his greatest advantage is that he listens to advice and is willing to look back. Shi Pingchuan is an old brother who is ahead of him in all aspects, so when he says, "You will understand when you get married," then it is probably It's not a joke.

"Some things can only be done with women outside."

is it?

Ding Jiali was confused. He felt that his sister was not some old-fashioned feudal person. No matter what Shi Pingchuan wanted to do or how to do it, it was always best to talk to his wife first... But Shi Pingchuan seemed to refuse to mention it to her. I went directly to find a woman outside. Shi Pingchuan said it was because he 'didn't want the women at home to be as coquettish as bitches', but what if they were as coquettish? As long as she's only flirting with one person, what's the problem?

Unless what he's trying to get isn't sex.

Or maybe, it's more than just sex.

But apart from sex, what else can there be?

Ding Guisheng on the other end was still reading the newspaper. While turning pages, he inadvertently raised his head and happened to glance at Ding Jiali's empty eyes - Ding Jiali stared straight at him, staring and thinking, as if she wanted to see through him.

Ding Guisheng's hair stood on end, and an unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart. He couldn't explain why, but just such a gaze greatly irritated him and made him feel strongly offended.

Ding Guisheng rolled up the newspaper and slapped the table hard, "You kid! What are you looking at!"

Ding Jiali quickly lowered his head, "...it's nothing."

Ding Xueyang and Shi Pingchuan went downstairs together at this moment. Shi Pingchuan went to the kitchen to bring bowls, and Ding Xueyang sat down first.

"I have been depressed all morning and have no energy at all!" Ding Guisheng's anger has not subsided, "I don't know what I am doing day by day!"

"Dad, please stop talking. It seems that Jiali has something on his mind." Ding Xueyang said softly.

Ding Jiali glanced at her sister with complicated eyes. "Don't hide it," Ding Xueyang said with a smile, "Your brother-in-law told me last night that there is a little girl chasing you in school. Does it make you feel stressed?"

"...Sister, please don't get involved in my affairs," Ding Jiali looked away, "take care of yourself first."

Ding Xueyang was startled. Just when he was about to ask him what he meant, he heard Shi Pingchuan yelling coldly, "Why are you talking to your sister? What's your attitude?"

Ding Jiali lowered his head again, "...annoying."

"If you're bothered, just find something to do by yourself!" Shi Pingchuan placed the bowl heavily on the table, "Don't be the same as your sister!"

"...I won't eat." Ding Jiali put down his chopsticks, "I have something else to do, so I'll go back to my room to pack my things."

……

Before going out, Ding Jiali happened to bump into Hesta. He naturally stepped forward to say hello, and then walked to school together.

Along the way, Hesta didn't say a word and seemed to be worried.

"Hey -" Ding Jiali let out a long sigh.

Hesta didn't respond.

"Jane," Ding Jiali had no choice but to call her by name, "What are you thinking about?"

Hesta glanced at him and said nothing.

"It's really annoying to stay at home sometimes. Anyone can come and bully you." Ding Jiali folded his hands and hugged the back of his head. "You really don't have any say at all."

Hesta laughed inexplicably.

"I have a question I'd like to discuss with you," Ding Jiali added, "I don't know if it's appropriate. Are you interested in hearing it?"

Hesta still didn't respond, but no response meant no rejection. Ding Jiali continued, "What do you think love is?"

Hesta narrowed her eyes slightly.

If it had been in the past, she would have had the leisure to let Ding Jiali finish these words alone. However, today was different from the past. When she remembered that Yu Xuekun had mistakenly thought that there was something between her and Ding Jiali yesterday, Hesta felt a chill.

This flash of disgust completely fell in Ding Jiali's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ding Jiali asked.

"...Don't talk to me about this." Hesta whispered.

"Hey, I understand." Ding Jiali sighed again. Sometimes things are so strange. Although Hesta is a girl, he often finds a feeling of getting along with a brother in her. No need to say anything more. There are not so many twists and turns of reasoning, sometimes just a look or a gesture, and you know that the other party understands what you mean.

"I think so too." Ding Jiali shook his head with emotion, "Hey, it would be great if you were a boy. You are really suitable for being a friend."

Hesta was confused for a while and silently quickened the pace.
