Yugali felt that she was probably crazy, and she was still arguing with Hesta here - if she still had any sense, she should end this conversation immediately, or even leave with her luggage immediately, and be with this strange foreign land from now on. People keep their distance.
Compared to the Vera Nursing Center, the Jane Hestad in front of her was obviously more complicated and confusing.
But Hesta looked so sincere at this moment - when Yugali really looked at Hesta, she almost felt some kind of deep sadness, this inexplicable emotion from the stranger's profile and voice. Confusing Eucalyptus. It's as if Hesta really has no bad intentions and no ulterior motives. This person is just unaware of every strange thing he says, and then... without knowing the importance, he just talks innocently about what he wants to say. the words said.
But this alone is enough to show the huge difference between the two.
Yugali stopped this thought in time. If he continued to think about it, the terrible self-pity and resentment would suddenly come and drown him.
"I don't need to borrow money from you. I have talked with Dr. Mihailo. I only need 250,000, and he can pay me 30% in advance soon..." She sniffed. , looking away, "Yes, the price is indeed surprisingly high, but this is all because Hesta people have become rare over the years. You have been living in the third district, so you may not know that in the past few years We have a survey and research here——"
"I know this," Hesta said. "I went to Mihailo's place again today. I guess he said the same thing as us."
"...You went to see him again?" Yugali's voice was full of surprise, "But why did you go to see him? You are obviously not short of money?"
"You refused to tell me how much money you were short of, so I had to use my own method to find out with him," Hesta replied, "The quote he gave me was two hundred thousand, and he said I could only get it from you. Half of it, but if I am willing to 'go further', I can get more money——"
"So you just guessed that he would give me 400,000?" Yujiali laughed angrily, "You, you are really... I don't understand why you do these things. Do you have too much money?" Local flower, that's why I want to find excitement in this 'undercover game'——"
"Eucalyptus."
Hesta whispered her name. Yugali originally had many sinister things to say, but when he heard this voice, he couldn't say a word.
During such a long conversation, Hesta finally moved her eyes away from Yugali. She considered her words and her eyes fell in front of her out of focus.
"This... method," Hesta's voice was full of bitterness, and the too slow speaking speed even made her words sound a bit hesitant, "This... method of telling you that as long as you step over, you will have a good life, I It’s really, really familiar.”
"You won't have a good life if you step over it." Yugali whispered, "But if you step over it, many things will become normal... I'm not greedy, I will take what I deserve."
"But why can't you accept my help? Even if-"
"Will you stay in District 14 for a long time in the future, Jane?"
"Me," Hesta frowned, "I'm not sure yet, maybe not."
"That means, maybe it will?"
"Well, maybe."
"Then you must remember what I said tonight," Yugali also sat up, "I don't know what environment you grew up in before, but since you are here now and you are alone, I advise you You'd better stop being so naive, and don't be heart-to-heart with someone when you meet them like you are now. Especially in the future, you should be careful when you meet someone who will be friendly to you. At any time, be careful with yourself. The money bag...that's the most important thing to you, do you understand."
"but--"
"As a Hesta, life here will not be too simple. You should neither accept those inexplicable gifts casually, nor should you show generosity to strangers easily. Only by keeping the boundaries can you keep peace...otherwise something will happen sooner or later. "Yes," Yugali looked into Hesta's eyes, "If you continue like this, do you know what will happen to you in the future?"
"Um?"
"Sooner or later, you'll be eaten to the bone."
The room fell silent again. Hesta was still digesting Yugali's words, and Yugali already felt sad. She took a deep breath and changed her tone to a more relaxed tone.
"Maybe you think I'm exaggerating now, or you don't believe what I'm saying at all, but I'm not scaring you... You will always understand at some point in the future."
"None of this is important," Hesta whispered, "I just want to know one thing, can you tell me?"
"……What?"
"What can I do to keep you far away from that place?"
Yugali was startled for a moment, then immediately turned around and lay down with his back to Hesta.
"Okay, I know all my words are in vain, you are just as insecure as that brat..." She curled up and hugged her knees, "It's impossible, I've already signed the contract, There will be a physical examination next Tuesday, and then the formal process will begin.”
"Is there really no other way?"
"Let's stop talking about this," Yugali lowered his eyes slightly, but showed no signs of sleepiness, "Good night, Jane."
…
Early the next morning, Eucalyptus woke up as early as yesterday. Although she was very careful when she got up, Hesta opened her eyes immediately.
Yugali felt that the atmosphere between the two was no longer the same as it was yesterday, but Hesta still talked and said hello as before, as naturally as if the bedtime conversation last night had never happened.
"I may still find a place to stay in the city for the next two days." Yugali whispered, "Although it can provide shelter from the wind and rain, it is still too inconvenient."
"OK."
"What about you, are you hanging around here all the time?"
"Can I go to you?" Hesta asked.
"No," Yugali interrupted mercilessly, "The only place I can find now is in the basement... three people can fit in one pigeon cage, don't you think it's too crowded?"
"I don't mind, I can also share the rent, so I don't live in vain... I'll pay two-thirds, how about that?"
"Go find it yourself. You have money anyway," Yugali glanced at Hesta, "Don't think that I don't know what your plans are."
"Then until you find your previous accommodation, we can still go out and come back together every day, okay?"
Yugali stood up to leave, but Hesta grabbed his wrist again.
Hesta blocked Yugali's path with his body, then lowered his head and took out something from his pocket.
"I have something else that I forgot to give you yesterday..."
