"...Do you have a club?"
"Yes, not big. There are nine people in total. Hanshan is our honorary chairman, and -"
"Okay." Before Lin Jiao could further introduce the club members, Hesta had already agreed, "What does your club do? Why do you need wilderness survival experience?"
"Haha, I can't tell you this for now." Lin Jiao said with a smile, "If you are interested, you can give me your sharing outline first. I have to go back with the outline to discuss with other members before deciding to invite Wherever you go to share, how many people will attend?”
"Okay, when do you want it?"
"Of course, the sooner the better - but it depends on your time," Lin Jiao laughed, "I will cooperate at any time."
…
In the evening, Hesta walked quickly towards her home.
At the end of the day, she had already framed the outline of the sharing meeting in her mind, and couldn't wait to get back to her desk to write down the contents, and then submit them to Yu Xuekun for review.
Returning to the family area, Hesta pressed the elevator button while humming. Looking at herself reflected in the mirror, she suddenly realized that tonight was probably the most relaxed day for her in the past two weeks, and even her steps home became extremely brisk.
This morning Yu Xuekun once asked her a difficult question:
——"Choose a person in your mind, a typical person from District 14. No matter what happens in the future, before you act, think about what this person would do if she encountered such a situation. ?」
When she left Yu Xuekun's place, she still didn't have a suitable answer. Among her relatively familiar friends, neither Yujiali nor Ding Yuqing is a suitable imitation object, and all her fantasies about Ksenia are almost entirely based on her impression of another person... In the final analysis, she lacks understanding of them. .
But now, just one day has passed, and she already has a good candidate: Lin Jiao is very suitable. Whether it was her conversation or behavior, she had an aura that was familiar to Hesta.
Hesta was lost in thought about these things until the elevator door reopened - although she was still standing in the corridor at this moment, she could already hear the loud sound of the TV in the room.
The moment he opened the door, the noise in the room was deafening. Hesta walked in with a frown and closed the door forcefully.
The whole living room is dark again. She turned on the light and saw Ding Guisheng sitting alone on the sofa, holding his arms and staring at the screen.
Ding Guisheng also heard the sound of the door closing. He turned back and glanced at Hesta, stood up, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV.
The sound effects of the variety show that had been piercing my ears just now suddenly stopped, and the entire living room suddenly became quiet, like a ruins swept by a tsunami... it seemed particularly silent.
Ding Guisheng coughed a few times again. The old phlegm that was always hanging in his throat seemed to never go away.
"You're back?" The old man put his hands behind his back, "You came back early today."
"Well," Hesta nodded, "Back."
While she was changing her shoes, she glanced at the shoe cabinet - Ding Xueyang and Miaomiao's shoes were placed on the top shelf. It seemed like both of them were at home at the moment.
On the other side, the kitchen light was also on. Although she didn't hear any obvious movement, she felt that Xu Ruyi should be inside.
"Do you want to play chess?" Ding Guisheng pointed to the chessboard on the dining table, "I heard from Xiaoqing that you seem to be very interested in learning chess?"
Hesta's eyes turned to the dining table, and she suddenly found that the new vases on the table had disappeared again - Ding Xueyang had smashed all the glassware in the living room, and Xu Ruyi had quickly replaced a batch, but now...
"Come on!" Ding Guisheng was already sitting on one side of the chessboard with a cup of water in his hand, "I'll teach you how to play."
Hesta stood there for a while, then followed Ding Guisheng's wishes and sat down opposite him.
"How long have you been in our District 14?"
"...Three months," Hesta replied.
"Listening to the lectures should be quite difficult for you, huh?"
Hesta didn't care what the other party said, he just responded.
Ding Guisheng burst out laughing, but unfortunately his throat was filled with saliva. He immediately started coughing and his face turned the color of pig liver. In the confusion, he quickly grabbed the water glass beside him and took two sips to moisten his throat.
After putting down the teacup, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It's been three months and you're still so shabby in speaking our local dialect. How can you do that? If young people don't study hard, they won't have a future. To learn a language, the key is to speak a lot. Practice and speak more, you know.”
Hesta looked at Ding Guisheng's hand - he saw this person grabbed the white pawn and moved to e4, seizing the center of the board. She also charged at e5, Ding Guisheng's white knight f3 attacked e5, and Hestad's black knight c6 for protection.
Ding Guisheng immediately moved the white elephant to f4, aiming at the weak pawn of black's f7. Hestad pondered for a moment, moved the knight to f6, and began to counterattack the white center——
A standard two-horse defense.
Ding Guisheng glanced at Hesta and felt that this person seemed a little smarter today.
"Are all your family members in the third district now?" Ding Guisheng asked.
Hesta raised her head with a confused look on her face: "Huh?"
"Family, family," Ding Guisheng's hands were filled with excitement, "Your father, your mother! Your family members!"
Hesta shook her head and said she didn't understand a word.
After several attempts, Ding Gui was so angry that he slammed the table, "Ruyi!!"
The kitchen door opened, and Xu Ruyi came out with a sullen face, "...Stop shouting, keep your voice down."
"Tell her!" Ding Guisheng pointed at Hesta's face, "I asked her if everyone in her family is in the third district now."
Xu Ruyi walked to sit down next to her husband and whispered, "Your uncle wants to ask you what you do in the third district."
"Medic," Hesta replied, "I'm in the army—"
"You're not asking this, we already know this," Xu Ruyi sighed, "Your uncle wants to ask you what you do at home. If you come out alone, your family won't feel at ease. Why don't you find an opportunity to watch the video of our two families? , this way your parents will feel more at ease."
"No need." Hesta shook her head, "I'm often outside alone, it's okay."
Xu Ruyi explained to her husband softly, and Ding Guisheng mumbled a few more questions, which Xu Ruyi retorted with disgust.
"...What's wrong?" Hesta looked at Xu Ruyi, "Did something embarrassing happen?"
"I'm just asking you directly, Jane. Don't tell others that I asked you. Do you know about your own insurance?"
Hesta shook her head again, "What insurance?"
"Your insurance has been linked to our home. Lili discovered it a few days ago," Xu Ruyi spoke quickly, "and there is something written in the note on the document that can be 'maximum reimbursement' - do you want to go back and remind your family, or Your superior at the workplace, even if your family is rich and your workplace offers good benefits, don’t leave such notes outside. After all, you are still a girl, so if you show off like this, you will get into trouble.”
