Why it never ends

Chapter 950 Fear

A moment later, Ximoya hurried in and stood in front of Hesta, somewhat out of breath.

"You're here really quickly," Hesta looked at him, "but I'm going back now."

Fatima smiled and looked at the person who came: "Is this your friend?"

"Yes," Hesta replied.

Ximoya glanced at Fatima and forced a smile: "Hello."

……

"What's your problem?" On the way back in the car, Ximoya suppressed her anger, "Why do you have to visit Trion's house when I'm not around?"

"Does that count as a visit? I just went over to give her a piece of cake because she took good care of us at the last dinner," Hesta said innocently, "Besides, her daughter has been sick for a long time, so it's reasonable for me to visit her—"

"I've told you not to take the Trion family lightly!" Ximoya interrupted Hesta. "They wanted to win you over, so they would have done everything they could to get close to you. But you've delivered yourself to them!"

Hesta suddenly high-fived.

"What are you doing?" Ximoya looked at her in confusion.

"I'm innocent." Hesta spread his hands. "You can see that I left with nothing."

"...Anyway, don't let it happen again," Ximoya said coldly, "Also, have you signed the documents I sent you last week? Why haven't I received a reply yet?"

"I've been looking at houses outside for the past two weeks, so I don't have the mood to bring a computer to look at documents," Hesta said, "Or you can prepare a paper version and send it to me, and I'll sign it for you directly. This will be more convenient."

"I prepared this electronic version for you because you've been out looking for houses for the past two weeks! How can you be so ungrateful? You don't have a computer, so can't you just use your phone to handle it?"

"Huh?" Hesta turned his head blankly, "How does the phone handle this?"

Ximoya felt her head buzzing instantly.

"... Never mind. I'll prepare a paper version for you." She observed the traffic at the intersection and turned carefully. "You should have found almost all the houses, right?"

"what?"

"What are you saying?" Ximoya felt her anger rising. "You've already seen more than a dozen sets, you can't be dissatisfied with any of them, right?"

"I was just about to tell you this. I've seen more than 20 houses in the past two weeks, far more than the ones you recommended to me." Hesta's expression became serious, "But every one of them - including the ones you recommended to me - had serious problems."

"...What's the problem?" Ximoya's voice rose uncontrollably. "I personally selected those houses. They are in great condition. Not to mention the water, electricity, energy, warmth and insulation, even the scenery is -"

"I'm not talking about these issues," Hesta said leisurely, "I'm talking about Feng Shui."

The traffic light at the intersection was red again, and Ximoya braked: "What?"

"Feng Shui," Hesta repeated calmly, "Those houses have bad Feng Shui."

……

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when Hesta returned home.

As soon as she pushed the door open, she heard Eleven and Kiki laughing and playing in the apartment's public garden.

"Eleven?" Hesta frowned, "Why aren't you in school at this time--"

Before he finished speaking, Hesta saw Eucalyptus in the living room turn around.

"Huh? Why aren't you in the library?"

Eucalyptus exhaled: "...You are finally back."

A few minutes later, the two little girls stood straight in front of Hesta, listening to Yujiali telling her what happened in the school in the past two days. After sneaking into the principal's office yesterday, Eleven did not do his homework again today, and openly took the lead in making trouble in class, disrupting the class discipline. The teacher couldn't stand it anymore and called Yujiali to pick her up. "What about Qiqi?" Hesta glanced at Qiqi, "Is she also making trouble?"

"That's not the case," Eucalyptus replied, "but she goes wherever Eleven goes, so she comes back with him."

Hesta looked at Eleven, "What do you want to say?"

"I don't want to go to school!" Eleven shouted, "School is not fun at all——"

"What were you doing in the principal's office yesterday?"

"He took away the frog I folded with my own hands. It took me so long to fold it!"

"Why would he take your frog for no reason?"

Eleven snorted, "How should I know?"

Hesta looked at Kiki.

Qiqi clasped her hands behind her back and closed her mouth even tighter.

"...She wrote the principal's name on the back of the frog," Eucalyptus sighed, "She also taught others to fold it together, write the names of the school's teachers on the back of the frog, and then put it on the playground for a speed race."

"How do paper frogs race..."

"You can compete," Eucalyptus took out a paper frog from somewhere and placed it on the coffee table in front of Hesta. She pressed the frog's butt and the paper frog immediately jumped high.

"Just play, they are still shouting the teacher's name, cheering for the frog--"

Eleven immediately looked up: "It's the name of the frog!"

"You still don't think you did anything wrong, right?" Eucalyptus said.

"Why did they punish me to stand?" Eleven shouted, "I sneaked out before and didn't affect anyone, why did they target me? It was obviously them who couldn't keep an eye on me--"

"The school now wants her to verbally apologize to all the teachers and the principal, and write a letter of guarantee, promising not to make the same mistake again in the future—"

"I don't want to write it!"

"Where's the homework?" Hesta asked. "What's with the homework? Why isn't it done?"

"Because I have nothing to fear." Eleven answered confidently.

"Yesterday's homework was to write a short essay in the language of the Third District," Eucalyptus said tiredly, "The title is 'Things I Fear'..."

"You and Qiqi go play." Hesta said softly.

The two children immediately rushed to the yard. Hesta got up and called Ximoya, asking if Ximoya could keep an eye on the new school in Emanlia. Considering that there were more than 20 children in each class of Shiyi and Qiqi's current school, she hoped to find a school with half the number of students, more green space on campus, a larger playground, and more activities during recess.

However, for some reason, Ximoya's phone could not be reached.

As she waited for the beeping sound, Hesta walked to another table in the living room where there was a notebook. She opened it casually and saw Kiki's crooked handwriting inside.

Things I Fear

I am particularly afraid of death. When I was a child, I was afraid of my grandmother's death, and when she took a nap, I was afraid that she would never wake up again.

I am afraid of flying in an airplane, because when the airplane is in the air, I am afraid it will fall down. I am afraid of riding in a boat, because I can't swim, although I also like the sea.

I never eat raw food because I am afraid of getting sick. I don't like crowded places because I am afraid of catching a cold.

People don't always understand my fear that I will die before I become a barrister, and that I will die without having achieved what I wanted.

I guess I'm afraid that my life has no meaning.
