Why it never ends

Chapter 1157 Surprise
Stella took a few steps closer, and after a brief greeting with Qiqi, she looked at Pakat: "It's so late, is it okay for her not to go back? It's past the night check time, right?"

"I've already told Yixue, they know Qiqi is here," Pacat replied, "She can stay here all night, it's okay."

Qiqi could hear that they were talking about their own things and couldn't help but look up: "Did I disturb you?"

"Who said that!" Stella immediately pulled down the corners of her mouth, as if she was angry that Qiqi had such an idea, "You can stay here all night!"

Stella stretched out her arms as if "the whole night" was a huge monster, and this action made Kiki laugh.

After a while, Kiki looked up and asked Pakat if he had any crayons of other colors. Pakat told her in a slow and gentle voice that there were a lot of stationery in the third drawer by the window in the inner room - Kiki understood immediately.

Only Pakat and Stella were left in the living room. Stella followed Qiqi into the room and then looked at Pakat: "Is this the problem Si Lei discovered a few days ago?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe? Didn't you ask her?" Stella was a little surprised, "Or is it that she can't explain it clearly in the language of the Third District?"

"You can find a helper who can speak District 14. I also think it is necessary, but you don't have to ask her what happened now." Pakat looked into Stella's eyes, "Qiqi said she 'doesn't want to talk' now, she 'just wants to stay here'."

Stella was thoughtful, her eyes falling on Qiqi's painting. She leaned over and picked up the painting: "What is this... a helicopter?"

"Yes." Pacat said, "She said she sat there when she first came to District 12."

Stella smiled, got up and went into the room.

"Have you found your crayons? Let me help you look."

……

When Lu Qizhen appeared in everyone's sight again, Zoe patted Jia Heduolei's shoulder sympathetically and said, "You lost."

Jiahoduolei didn't like Zoe's joking tone. She looked into the distance and saw Lu Qizhen walking towards her. She looked very unhappy and her mind was wandering. She didn't come to her senses until she was only a few steps away and realized that everyone was looking at her.

"Let's go." Zoe said, "Now that everyone is here, let's go in—"

"What happened?" Jia Heduolei blocked Lu Qizhen's way, "You look terrible."

Lu Qizhen grabbed her hair again: "...It's okay, but I might have to be careful when I come out later."

"Why?" Chloe asked knowingly.

"...My boyfriend, um," Lu Qizhen said tiredly, "said he will be here soon."

"Uh oh." Chloe rolled her eyes, "Someone did lose."

Lu Qizhen was stunned: "What do you mean by lost..."

"You called your boyfriend just now?" Gahoduolei asked, "Why? You clearly said--"

"Because I'm not thinking clearly." Lu Qizhen rubbed his temple, "He guessed where I was."

"Guessed it? How?"

"I don't know, maybe it's the radio, the music or something." Lu Qizhen whispered, "Sorry, I don't mean to ruin your mood, but tonight may be a little troublesome-" "What trouble?" Chloe smelled the scent of gossip, "Did you break up with him?"

Jiahoduolei looked at Chloe in confusion again - she was clearly immersed in the sweetness of Lu Qizhen's past relationship just now, and talked about a lot of nonsense, but how come she guessed that they broke up now?

Lu Qizhen had a complicated expression and was silent for a long time before he uttered, "Not really..."

Chloe raised her head somewhat proudly: "I knew it."

Jiahoduolei's face was filled with uncontrollable surprise - Chloe really guessed it right?
She looked at Chloe, then at Lu Qizhen, and at the same time went over the conversation they had tonight in her mind again, but she still had no clue.

Obviously, she was the one who had known Lv Qizhen the longest, but she didn't guess that Lv Qizhen's boyfriend would come tonight, nor did she see that she and her boyfriend had reached the point of breaking up... Hadn't they been together for ten years? Weren't they both talking about marriage and starting to worry about their future marriage life? She still had a photo of that man in her wallet, and would take it out to show others when chatting. How could they break up just like that?

Jia Heduolei also walked forward in a daze, thinking about these questions in confusion and annoyance. Obviously, she was not familiar with everything in the city, so she spent thirty dollars on her first outing with this group of people!
Thirty dollars...

Jiahoduolei secretly felt pained. Although Teacher Boheng said that they could raise necessary expenses, she and Eunice had not spent a penny since they moved to the farm. Now, she had not done anything, but she had to pay thirty dollars...

Endai walked quickly to the front of Lu Qizhen, then turned to face Lu Qizhen and skipped back: "So he will come over soon, right?"

"That should be him." Lu Qizhen whispered, "I guess he might be waiting for me at the exit."

"Then let's not go through the exit."

"……what?"

"There are many ways out here," Ende pointed to the theater. "I remember there are several fire windows over there. I'll go see which ones are open."

Chloe, who was standing by, was very happy to hear this and asked Ende how to get out from the fire window. Ende also started to talk excitedly.

Lu Qizhen was worried at first, but Ende and Chloe were walking side by side in front of her, and she was also infected by their joyful looks - Ende and Chloe obviously didn't take this "trouble" to heart, and Zoe didn't seem to care much either. Maybe... she really took everything too seriously.

Thinking of this, Lu Qizhen suddenly glanced sideways at Jia Heduolei - she seemed to be the only one among everyone who became worried.

"It's all my fault," Lu Qizhen sighed and took up Jia Heduolei's hand, "Are you still worried about me?"

Jiahoduolei pulled her hand back sadly: "Leave me alone."

……

Around nine o'clock, Si Lei knocked on Pakat's door.

"Come in." The old man's voice came from behind the door.

"Good evening, Stella called me," Si Lei closed the door, "Qiqi is in there, right?"

"Looking at the picture album." Pacat said, "Is everything going well outside?"

"It went very smoothly," Si Lei smiled. "At least seven or eight reporters came to ask Hesta for an interview with you, but she refused, saying that you don't like to be disturbed."

Pacat glanced at Si Lei with a playful look: "Oh, she is so considerate."
