Why it never ends

Chapter 907 One & Two

The conversation between the two stopped briefly. Just when Teacher Chen was about to restart the topic about Zuo Wentao, Hesta suddenly stood up from the cushioned grass.

"Where are you going?" Teacher Chen asked.

"Not going anywhere," she said in a very indifferent tone, "just wandering around."

Then, Hesta left without looking back. As soon as she thought of the last conversation in Chen Beiyi's office, she immediately lost interest in talking to the person in front of her.

Chen Beiyi watched Hesta's leaving figure from the spot and did not catch up.

……

Everyone stood around the astronomical telescope with their collars tight.

The students on the inside called on the friends on the outside to come closer. The teacher adjusted the position of the telescope so that everyone could take a look. Hesta also slowly stepped forward in the queue. After leaning over, he saw in the not-so-wide field of view. , she saw two thin pieces of fog, gray, which were said to be distant nebulae.

She wanted to ask what the names of these two nebulae were, but the classmates behind her had already asked other questions. By the time the teacher gave a complete answer, Hestad was already thinking about other questions and could no longer keep up with the crowd.

The words were not spoken in Common Tongue, but Hesta understood them. This sudden poetic phrase unexpectedly triggered a chemical reaction in her.

On the periphery of the crowd, some young people who could not hear clearly opened their mobile phones and began to use software to identify stars.

"Look," said one, "the sun is beneath our feet."

The teacher from the astronomy club brought a star-pointing pen and from time to time pressed a green laser light into the night sky. She connected the stars one by one, read out their names, and guided everyone to combine these stars in their imaginations. Simple geometric figures become birds and animals in the sky.

Only this time, the once sweet illusion has disappeared.

She took a few steps in place. The ground was a solid rock surface. On this cold winter night, these rocks were frozen even colder than ice. But she imagined a gaze that penetrated the rocks, penetrated the surface, and went all the way down. It gradually felt the high pressure and heat, then passed through the core, crossed the central axis of the earth, and finally penetrated the entire planet, then crossed the atmosphere and flew to the other end of the universe again——

The people who were chatting in low voices gradually fell silent, and the astronomy teacher’s voice became clearer and clearer. Hesta could not understand much, and she did not want to disturb her friends who were immersed in the vision of the universe. On this cold night, she once again felt strongly that she was alone among the crowd.

At this moment, the sun is on that side.

Every time it gets dark, it means the sun is shining beneath people's feet, and an equally bright river of stars is flowing, just below the ground.

Hesta was standing next to them. Suddenly, she heard a low exclamation from the people next to her. She leaned over and took a look, and found that the girls no longer pointed their phones at the stars in the sky, but instead pointed them at the ground. .

Thinking of the way Cheng Xiaoshu cried bitterly last night because she misunderstood that she committed suicide, Hesta suddenly thought sourly that even if she really fell, it might not be jumping off a cliff.

It can also be said to be a failed attempt to fall towards the sun.

... Later, everyone returned to the inn, and the boss prepared a barbecue party in the warehouse. Although it is a warehouse, the temperature inside is not much different from that outside, except that the iron walls and roof block most of the wind.

A huge tree grew in the middle of the warehouse, and its root system almost made the entire warehouse floor uneven. People walking must always pay attention to their feet, otherwise they can easily trip.

Hesta was wrapped in three blankets and leaned next to Cheng Xiaoshu. There were many canned drinks piled at her feet, and a dinner plate covered with slices of meat was placed in front of her. However, she just huddled in the blanket and found it troublesome to even reach for chopsticks.

At first, everyone was shivering, stamping their feet to keep warm as they walked. Everyone passed beers to each other, constantly joining or leaving various chat circles, ending and joining nearby conversations.

Suddenly, there was a noise. Hesta opened his eyes and leaned towards Cheng Xiaoshu: "What's wrong?"

"I don't know," Cheng Xiaoshu also stood up and looked around, "Why does there seem to be a quarrel over there."

Not far away, several people were arguing fiercely, and Lin Jiao and Xiang Hanshan also noticed the movements there.

Lin Jiao walked between the two groups of people: "What are you talking about?"

Seeing Lin Jiao arriving, one of them rolled his eyes and didn't want to say any more. He just raised his hand and said, "Let them tell you again! We can't repeat it!"

"What can't be repeated? Have you ever thought that when you refuse to allow men to participate in any sports related to women, you directly reject half of the world's population - not to mention that we are still full of factions and factions within us. With this trend, when will we achieve true equality and when will women truly break away from their position as the second sex?"

Lin Jiao listened for a while, smiling and nodding, but Xiang Hanshan could see that she was enduring. The calmer her bright eyes were, the more intense the storm was in her heart.

"Stop, I don't understand," Lin Jiao raised his beer, "What do you mean by 'breaking away from the second sex position'?"

"Does this also need an explanation? It means that women no longer play a subordinate role, just like men-"

“Being the first sex like a male?”

"Yeah, why not?"

Lin Jiao was still smiling, but frowned slightly: "Then do you want gender equality, or do you want to be the first gender?"

"What's the conflict between the two? Equality means-"

"If you don't create the second nature first, how can you become the first nature?" Lin Jiao interrupted, "Both sides are equal, how can the concept of first and second come about?"

"Okay, I spoke quickly. What I understand as equality is that there is no concept of first or second, and both parties are free to be themselves."

"OK, what does 'like a man' mean," Lin Jiao said. "If 'like a man' here includes bravely realizing career ideals, then in the promotion process, can a woman have someone to help her like a man? A partner to stabilize the rear and help her conceive and give birth?”

"Wait a minute, there are two problems here." The man said, "One is to find a stable partner, and the other is to have children. I am determined not to get married, so these two problems do not exist for me, but Since you mentioned it, we can also discuss: I think the first problem can be solved completely. It is just that the division of labor between the two people is different. As long as you earn enough, you can always find a 'good wife' who is willing to support you at home. ; As for childbearing, you can only make your own choice. Only women can give birth to children, and men cannot have children even if they want to. Which one can benefit you more is whether to focus on your family or your career. People have different considerations, and only when you give up can you gain something.”
