Why it never ends

Chapter 1121 Celebration

"...Have you ever thought about what to do if there is no other way?!"

"Then think about it, Ximoya." Hesta stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead, "The solution is always found by thinking of it—"

"no!"

Ximoya looked at Hesta. At this moment, Hesta's look was even a little puzzled, as if the strange person at the moment was her, Ximoya.

Ximoya opened her hands in front of Hesta, as if she was lifting an air barbell: "You can't always jump to the next step when you are not ready at all!"

"Why not?"

"This is very dangerous!" Ximoya's voice rose again, "Fifty people! They are children! Have you ever thought about what to do if an infectious disease breaks out when you bring them here? What if they don't obey you and fight with you? What if they take the opportunity to escape--"

"There's a town hospital and pharmacy nearby, Sophie has a medical team, and Turan is half a doctor," Hesta said, "Is there any place more suitable for quarantine than a farm?

"If they don't obey and start fighting, then stop them? If they want to run, then chase them? It's impossible for all fifty of them to run away?"

"What if all fifty kids want to run away?"

Hesta laughed, she stood up and put the cup on the table.

"Then you have one more task today. You need to deduce in detail the circumstances under which fifty Kasyapas would escape at the same time, and then give me three emergency plans." Hesta walked out the door. "I have something else to do - I'm leaving first."

Soon, the sound of Hesta's footsteps coming down the stairs could be heard. Ximoya rushed to the door and shouted, "...You wish for it. I won't do such a meaningless thing!"

Hesta didn't stop: "Hahaha, whatever you want."

……

The farm was very quiet in the evening.

Ximoya had slept for a whole day, but the drowsy feeling had not gone away. She walked slowly around Stella's studio and headed towards the construction site.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the tent. The steel keels under the tent were placed in an interlocking manner. Ximoya went over to touch them, then looked up at the large house that had already taken shape.

At this moment, the foundation construction of the house was just halfway completed, and the entire house was covered with scaffolding. The workers had gone back to rest, but there were still a few young people sitting in the open-air house chatting. They spoke a language that Ximoya couldn't understand, but when their eyes met, they all nodded and smiled.

Further away, Ximoya saw the two older Kasyapas - Yunis and Jiahoduolei. They were sitting by a haystack farther away, eating with their bowls in hand. They had serious expressions and the atmosphere was tense, and they seemed to be arguing about something.

The lights in the main house were on, and from time to time someone passed by the windows on the first or second floor. Ximoya guessed that they might be Hesta's friends.

"Ximoya!" A voice came from a distance. Ximoya turned around and found that it was a young man from Stella's studio waving at her. "Aren't you coming to dinner?"

"I've already eaten!" Ximoya raised her hands like a trumpet and shouted to the man, "Thank you!"

"There are extra dishes tonight! Stella went crazy today and spent a lot of money to treat us to a big meal! You'd be at a loss if you don't come!"

Simona walked back with a smile. She couldn't remember the names of the members in Stella's studio, but she liked every one of them very much. Of course, there were young people among them, but there were also middle-aged and even elderly editors. However, regardless of their age, they all had a youthful temperament, which Simona liked very much.

At this moment, Ximoya walked back slowly, wondering where this youthful feeling came from - perhaps it was because they all seemed to have some crazy energy that did not care about the cost. After all, there were people who went out for adventure alone these days, but it was very rare to gather a team to go out for adventure together.

She didn't ask how much Stella usually paid these people, but she guessed that these people were not very rich, judging from the way Stella herself was struggling. Their usual job was to make books, but in fact everyone had their own side jobs, most of which were writing and taking pictures. She guessed that these people might have been reporters before, or had some experience in professional photography.

At night, at the grand dinner in Stella's studio, Stella got herself drunk for the first time - she said she had great news to tell everyone, but she couldn't tell it tonight, and she had to wait until tomorrow when things were confirmed. However, this would not prevent them from celebrating tonight.

Everyone was whetted by Stella, some were banging the table, some were shaking people's hands, and Stella was laughing so hard that she even looked like she was about to cry, but she just refused to tell everyone what the good news was.

Ximoya ate in silence - Hesta had already told her that today Stella had taken 7% from a large order of million in one go. She was glad that no one realized that she knew about this, otherwise, facing such enthusiastic "interrogation" by everyone, she might really not be able to help but reveal some information.

"Are you okay?" Ximoya looked at Pakat beside her, "You seem to be checking the time?"

"Two of my students will come tonight from District 14," Pacat said. "The plane should arrive in Emanlia this afternoon. I asked them to call me when they leave the city, but..."

"Don't worry. The city is debugging the signal these days, and the communication is often interrupted." Ximoya said, "It is said that it will be restored next week."

"Really?" Pacat was a little surprised. "Why do you need to debug the signal?"

"I don't know. The news I heard was related to the deployment of defenses against chelates. A lot of signal racks were built in the suburbs to capture abnormal high-speed passing objects. It seems that the coalition government plans to move these things into the city as well."

"Is it because of the theater incident on the old Independence Day?"

Ximoya shook her head: "Who knows——"

The cork of a bottle of champagne flew up to the ceiling and with a bang shot down the ceiling light. The whole room suddenly became half dark. There was silence for a moment, followed by laughter that almost blew the roof off.

At this moment, Hesta opened the door: "…What's going on here?"

Everyone turned around.

“Wakakakaka—” Stella stood up unsteadily, “You’re here—my dear sister—”

"How much did you drink..."

"Come on - have a drink too -"

"I'm looking for Pakat." Hesta looked at the old man. "I received a call saying that two of your students are now at the entrance of the farm. I came to ask--"

"Did you get a call?" Pakat was a little surprised. She immediately stood up with the help of the table. "Yes, I have two students coming over..."

"Don't move," Hesta said, "I'll go get the person."

Pacat stood up stubbornly: "No, I want to go."
