Why it never ends

Chapter 1137 Reverie

"...I do the same to my sweetheart." Jiahoduolei immediately followed up with a sentence.

The air suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, Jia Heduolei suddenly understood what Lu Qizhen meant by "things that have nothing to do with this" yesterday evening. For some reason, she suddenly felt fortunate that she had never told this new friend about her admiration for Teacher Boheng - some truly important things cannot be shared. Once shared, they will be blasphemed...

Lu Qizhen looked at them and realized belatedly that what he had just said might have been offensive.

"Ha," she tucked her hair behind her ears a little embarrassedly, "I was just talking about myself--"

"I'm definitely not." Chloe's expression became more serious. She looked into Lu Qizhen's eyes so seriously, as if she had just been greatly challenged. "Although the person I like looks noble, he is actually just an illegitimate child. No one would think that he is more noble than me - not even my parents think so!"

"...illegitimate child." It was the first time that Jiahoduolei heard this word, and she was obviously confused. "What is this?"

"That is, his mother is not his father's wife." Lu Qizhen explained.

In an instant, Chloe's face turned red, her fists clenched suddenly, and she fell into a torrent of anger. This sudden change startled both Lu Qizhen and Jia Heduolei. Their throats moved slightly, and they pursed their lips at the same time.

"Get out!" Chloe said suddenly, "You are not welcome here!"

The change happened so quickly that before Jia Heduolei and Lu Qizhen even had time to feel unhappy about the expulsion, they were already standing outside Chloe's door.

With a bang, the door closed, causing Jia Heduolei and Lu Qizhen to shudder at the same time.

"...Did I say something wrong?" Lu Qizhen looked at Jia Heduolei, "But...is it that serious?"

Jia Heduolei didn't understand either, but at this moment she nodded very seriously and said to Lu Qizhen: "You shouldn't say that. You don't understand other people's business."

Lu Qizhen sighed and took Jia Heduolei's arm: "...Thank you for forgiving me."

"It's okay." Jiaduolei stretched her shoulders. "It's nothing..."

……

That night, when Hina came back, she found Chloe's door open, but there was no light inside. She felt a little strange, so she walked into the room and pressed the switch - Chloe was lying on her back on the bed, and the floor was a mess with many empty plates and dessert forks.

"...Oh, you've made new friends here." Xina sneered, "Weren't you talking to some people at the door yesterday--"

"Sister, have you ever thought about a question?" Chloe spoke without warning. She was still looking at the ceiling, without a smile on her face.

Hina had a few more sarcastic remarks to make, but when she saw Chloe so depressed, she couldn't help but restrain her expression.

"What?" Sheena asked softly.

"Why do many young girls fall in love with middle-aged men, or even old men?"

For a moment, Hina almost lost her balance, and her eyes almost immediately pierced Chloe - but Chloe was still lying there quietly as before, with her arms and legs spread out, her eyes dull, and she didn't seem to have any sinister intentions. Hina quietly leaned against the wall, her tone still maintaining the previous calmness: "...Why are you asking me this question all of a sudden? Did...someone tell you something?"

"No," Chloe said softly, "I just suddenly remembered that there are very few attractive old women in the novels we have read."

"Who said it was a little? It was obviously a lot, just like—"

"I mean the kind of charm that a young girl is obsessed with a man who is almost old enough to be her father, or even wants to be his wife. I don't think I've read stories that are the opposite," Chloe said softly, "For example, an old woman in her sixties or seventies is suddenly deeply obsessed with a young man--"

"What do you want to say?" Xina interrupted her sister impatiently.

"…Is it because of the 'power gap'?" Chloe said, "This kind of thing often exists between old men and young girls, but between old women and young boys——"

"Oh," Sheena felt that she had finally grasped the point, "You are still thinking about the little thing between Kovicik and Mrs. Brownbo——"

"I'm not!" Chloe finally raised her head and turned over to sit up. "I'm seriously discussing this with you!"

"Yes, you suddenly want to be a philosopher." Xina sneered, "Your little head has finally opened up and started to think about some truly meaningful questions--"

"Why are you so mean?" Chloe opened her eyes wide, and her voice became a little softer, "I'm not mocking you..."

"Come on...come on," Xina smiled and took two steps back, then turned off the light in Chloe's room with a click, "figure it out yourself, I'm very busy."

In the darkness, Chloe heard her sister's high heels tapping away, and then disappeared completely with the sound of a door closing.

Chloe felt a little confused again and fell back on the bed. She couldn't stop herself from thinking about it. What Lu Qizhen said in the afternoon was still running wild in her mind. What surprised her even more was that she didn't expect that the first identity she blurted out when she mentioned Kovicik was "illegitimate child".

Chloe closed her eyes dejectedly. After tossing and turning for a few times, she quickly jumped out of bed - she couldn't bear to stay in this place anymore. She was going to find her mother now. She was going to go home tonight and live in her own room.

……

"Are you okay? I saw you looked a little dazed after you answered the phone this afternoon," Si Lei said softly, "Whose call is it? Is it serious?"

"No, I was thinking about something else," Hesta replied. "Has Vosantad finished talking to you? What did she say?"

"Oh, I was just about to tell you this," Si Lei lowered his eyes and said, "You'd better pay attention to the medication of those women - many of them are very resistant to taking medicine and using ointments. Today I saw someone secretly squeezed a little ointment and smeared it under the bed..."

"what?"

"Has no one ever told you?" Si Lei was a little surprised. "I asked Wosantada, and she said she had no other choice. She could only try her best to persuade them - especially those who are a little older. They have their own judgment."

"...I don't know," Hesta frowned, "No one told me."

"Well, now I have it," Si Lei said softly, "Besides, I want to tell you about Qiqi. She is not very popular among the kids."
