"Anyway, let's finish our studies first," Mihailo laughed, "but if you feel particularly tired or encounter some terrible setbacks in the future, we can talk about it again... you What’s the contact information?”
Mihailo pushed over a pen and paper, and Hesta wrote his email address on it.
"Don't you have a cell phone?"
"I haven't bought it yet." Hesta replied, "Let's wait until we get to Songxueyuan."
"Okay, please be sure to give me your number when the time comes. This is my business card."
With that said, Mihailo handed over his business card.
"Don't take this as a courtesy, I'm serious," Mihailo said. "If you encounter any difficult problems in daily life, you can talk to me. Do I know anyone in this area?" If you have few friends, you will be well-informed.”
"Definitely." Hestad put away the business card and stood up.
"Have you finished chatting?" Eleven on the side was a little surprised, "Is this the end of chatting?"
"Yes," Mihailo also stood up. He grabbed a handful of chocolate balls from the candy box on his table, "Good boy, thank you for bringing your friends here today."
Eleven happily took the handful of chocolates. She opened her crossbody bag and asked, "Can you give me a little more?"
Mihailo smiled and poured a whole box of chocolates into it.
"Don't you have to sign any contracts?" Eleven asked again, "I heard someone said that you have to sign a lot of contracts before I can get the commission?"
"Your friend is not completely ready yet, so he won't sign the contract this time," Mihailo replied, "Are you short of money recently?"
"There's no such thing as too much money. I'm always short of money!"
Mihailo laughed twice. He opened his wallet and randomly took out two bills from it. "Whenever it is decided in the future, I will triple the commission for you."
"Wow!" Eleven jumped up and grabbed the money from Mihailo's hand, "Thank you, Doctor Mi!"
Mihailo personally sent Hesta and Eleven out. Before parting, Mihailo once again reiterated to Hesta that if he encounters any difficulties in District 14 in the future, he must remember to contact him. He would be happy to provide help.
Hesta responded perfunctorily, and just as she was about to turn around, a bright red flash suddenly appeared in her peripheral vision - the Hesta girl she met by chance at the station yesterday appeared at the corner of the road.
Even though she was wearing a mask, her long hair was so conspicuous that Hestad couldn't help but notice. At the same time, the girl also saw Hesta standing in front of the Vera Nursing Center, and her footsteps stopped.
"Eugali!" Mihailo waved to her, "Here."
The red-haired girl approached with an awkward expression. She glanced at Hesta's cheek pretending to be casual, but found that the other person's eyes seemed to always be on her and never left her at all.
Mihailo noticed this unusual atmosphere, "...you guys know each other?"
"We met at the train station yesterday." Hesta replied. She looked at Mihailo, "Did she also come to you for help?"
"It's time for you to leave." Mihailo clasped his hands tightly, but still had a smile on his face.
Hesta hesitated to speak. After some hesitation, he left with Eleven.
In front of the nursing center, looking at Hesta's back, the red-haired girl spoke softly: "She came to you for...?"
"Please don't ask any more questions," Mihailo replied warmly, "We will protect the privacy of every guest. I will not talk about her to you, just as I will not talk about you to her."
"……Feel sorry."
"It's okay, please come in." Mihailo opened the door, "You have already thought about it, right?"
…
Hesta took Eleven around a corner and came to the small park across the road.
There are many plants and trees here, and the staggered flower beds and trees are enough to block the view of the nursing center diagonally opposite. Hesta sat on an empty bench, staring intently at the glass door of the care center.
Eleven sat with him for a while, then ran away out of boredom within a few minutes. When he came back, he had ice cream bought from the convenience store nearby.
She handed the small one to Hesta, and she held the big one and gnawed on it. While eating, she asked: "Jane, what else do you need to prepare? Did Dr. Mi tell you?"
Hesta turned his head, "What is there?"
"Ah?" Eleven was shocked, "Don't you know it yet? Doctor Mi didn't tell you?"
"have no idea."
"Did you miss it or he didn't explain clearly!" Eleven jumped down from the bench, "But what were you talking about for so long?"
Hesta gestured to indicate that she did not understand Eleven's questions.
"You must have missed it, let me tell you again," Eleven switched the ice cream in his right hand to his left hand, then waved his right hand and gestured with a huge belly, "You can help give birth to children! Give birth to children, you know ?"
At first, Hesta thought Eleven was talking about the caregivers who take care of pregnant women and babies, until Eleven gestured to her growing belly, and then suddenly screamed, and after making faces, she started to coax her to sleep with a void baby in her arms. , Hesta had a flash of inspiration and understood.
"Me?" Hesta pointed at herself, and then imitated the gesture of pregnancy.
"Yes, you!" Eleven nodded, "Then, you will have a lot, a lot, a lot of money to take! So much! Then, you will be completely free, and you can do whatever you want!"
Hesta was stunned for a moment.
"Shall we go back later?" Eleven sat on the bench, shaking his legs in the air. "Doctor Mi also told me before that I should keep quiet before bringing someone here. As a result, I rarely bring someone here once." Come here, he didn’t even explain the matter clearly, what is he doing!”
"Eleven, look at me," Hesta made a gesture of counting money, "How do you say this?"
"Rub your hands?"
Hesta shook her head - the pronunciation was not consistent with the vocabulary in her vague memory.
"Money? Counting money? Calculating accounts——"
"Money." Hesta continued, "Money, very little, very, very little, what should I say?"
"pauper!"
Hesta continued to shake his head, "No, it's a verb, plus money, 'what' money."
"What 'what' money... little money? No money? Short of money?"
Hesta snapped her fingers, "Lack of money."
"Who is short of money? Are you short of money?" Eleven was confused, "How much money are you short of?"
But Hestad didn't answer.
"Jian, did you hear what I said?" Eleven staggered and leaned against Hesta, "Jian Jian Jian Jian -"
Hesta made a silent gesture.
Seeing that Hesta was ignoring people, Eleven was a little unhappy. After finishing her big ice cream, she snatched the small ice cream from Hesta's hand and ate it in two or three bites.
Hesta looked at the nursing center and dug her nails into her palms.
