Why it never ends

Chapter 1141 Moment

The three of them were sometimes far apart from each other, and sometimes almost parallel. By the time Lu Qizhen had almost found the rhythm, Chloe had basically exhausted her strength. When they arrived near the horse farm, they held hands again, like a few sisters traveling at the wrong time.

Chloe made a gesture to the two people behind her to keep quiet, and quietly led them around to the side door of the stable. Jiahoduolei quickly understood, she first climbed over the locked iron door, then entered the warehouse next to it and opened the window from the inside.

Chloe and Lu Qizhen quickly climbed in through the window and entered the horse farm.

In the dim corridor, several people walked lightly.

"Don't talk for a moment. Let me find my horse first," Chloe said, "then I'll take you to choose yours..."

Lu Qizhen and Jia Heduolei were both stunned: "Why do we have to choose horses?"

"Because I want to go home, don't you have to follow me?"

"From here?" Lu Qizhen's eyes widened. "On horseback? Back to the city? Just the three of us?"

"Just tell me whether you are going or not! If not, go back to sleep!"

"But I can't ride a horse—"

"It's okay," Jiahoduolei quickly accepted Chloe's suggestion. She patted Lu Qizhen's shoulder and said, "I'll take you."

Lu Qizhen shook his head repeatedly: "Listen to me, friends. It is true that there is a road from here to the city, but it is a highway..."

"What's wrong with the highway? If cars can go, horses can go too."

“Don’t do this!” Although Lu Qizhen lowered her voice, she almost screamed, “Oh my God, please send a reliable adult to persuade these two children——”

The sound of a shotgun being loaded filled the air.

Before Chloe and Lu Qizhen could react, Jia Heduolei had already rushed to the source of the sound. A woman's scream rang out along with the sound of a gun falling. Chloe ran to turn on the ceiling light in the room. Only Lu Qizhen stood there, staring blankly ahead.

The woman who was pinned to the ground was still struggling: "Where did this little thief come from——"

"Shut her up!" Chloe said immediately.

Jiahoduolei covered the woman's mouth with her palm and tied her arms behind her back: "Behave!"

Lu Qizhen's expression gradually became solemn. She tilted her head and looked at the two young men who were busy at the moment: "Wait a moment..."

Chloe had already stepped forward to help hold down the man's hand. She frowned and looked at Lu Qizhen: "Why are you still standing there? Come and help!"

"Isn't this," Lu Qizhen covered her cheeks with her hands, "Ms. Tiexi?"

……

After a while, several people sat down in Tiexi's hut together.

Tiexi limped to the cupboard and turned back: "What would you like to drink?"

Lu Qizhen forced a smile: "What can I drink?"

“Just white water.”

"…Then it's Baishui."

"I don't need it." Chloe folded her arms and looked at Tiexi's back with contempt. Lu Qizhen gave her a look and Chloe glared back, "Don't look at me. You are afraid of Hesta, but I am not. Even if she captures me, what can I do? I don't rely on her farm to live!"

Tiexi made herself a cup of tea. She glanced at Chloe coldly and said, "You came to steal my horse. What does it have to do with Hesta?" "Who said it's yours? The whole stable belongs to His Majesty. Insight, my insight, was given to me by His Majesty. She belongs to me! I can take her away whenever I want. You have no right to interfere!"

"I know you, the youngest daughter of Baron Trion. It was definitely not your family's idea for you to run out in the middle of the night," Tiexi glanced at her. "I'll call the palace now. How long do you think it will take for your family to get here?"

Chloe stopped talking.

"Tell me," Tiexi picked up the teacup, with no intention of pouring water for the three people in front of him, "What happened tonight?"

Lu Qizhen raised her hand and told her what she and Jiaduolei had seen and heard that night - including Chloe's attempt to ride the horse back to the city and her efforts to dissuade her.

"So, young lady, why did you run away from home?" Tiexi looked at Chloe.

"I told you to take care of it—"

"If I can't take care of it, then I won't," Tiexi said, "If I don't take care of it, someone else will naturally take care of it. This is your last chance. Why did you run out tonight?"

"…I just don't like being here anymore." Chloe murmured softly.

Tiexi was thoughtful for a moment, and after a while, she put down the teacup: "You can sleep here with me tonight."

The three of them were startled.

"I don't have a bed here, but I have blankets. You can drag the table and go back tomorrow morning." Tiexi said, "If you want your family to worry, leaving it out overnight should be enough - riding a horse on the highway? It's okay for you to risk your life, but I also feel sorry for your 'Insight', it's really a good horse."

Chloe snorted and looked away, but didn't argue anymore.

Lu Qizhen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She clasped her hands together and smiled with satisfaction: "...Can I borrow your phone for a moment?"

"Okay, who are you looking for?"

"I'll tell Turan that I spent the night at your place. Don't worry, I'll tell her not to let anyone else know." As he spoke, Lu Qizhen turned his gaze from Chloe to Jiahoduolei, "Perhaps you should tell your friends too?"

……

Hina stayed awake all night.

She did hear Chloe and her father arguing, but she had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. It was not the first time that Chloe had made her father angry - with Chloe's explosive temper, a beating might help her remember.

At this moment, Xina's full attention was on another room not far from here.

Teacher Dobini is lying there at the moment, maybe... he is not asleep either.

This speculation alone made her feel a surge of excitement.

Unlike most women who are caught up in love, Xina herself knows very well the reason for this concern - it is the combined effect of two decisive moments.

The first moment was two months ago, after class, she chased Dobini to the door with the exercise book "Fred 1001" to ask him the solution to a one-step kill. At that time, she ran and called out: "Teacher - Teacher - can you stay a few more minutes? I have a question for you -"

In front of the backlit porch, Dobini stopped, his expression a little surprised, then quickly turned into a smile.

"Don't worry, Sheena. You can always ask me any questions you have - I will always answer them for you."

He didn't need to say this, but he made the word "yes" sound like a solemn promise...

That was the first time that Xina felt shaken, and an indescribable gratitude welled up in her heart... After all, she had almost never received words like this from her father Trion.
