Why it never ends

Chapter 87 Waiting
"when are you leaving?"

"It's not in a hurry, I still have to stay at the base for more than a month, which is the last vacation." Liz recalled the information on the job transfer document, "I seem to have to go to the core city with other people at that time, Stay there for two weeks before finally leaving for Wulian."

"I'm going to miss you, Liz."

"Me too."

The two held each other's hands tightly. Suddenly, Liz seemed to remember something, and suddenly sat up. She glanced at the accordion she hung on the wall.

"Although I don't know the violin, Jane, if I teach you the accordion, will you learn it?"

Hesta froze for a moment.

"One month... will you learn it well?"

"I can't learn much, but it's definitely enough to get started simply." Liz tilted her head, "When I leave, I'll leave the piano to you, and you can practice by yourself. I still have a lot of novice etudes here, you You can practice by yourself in front of the book."

"Okay!"

……

That night, when Hesta returned to her room, she found that there was an extra letter in her mailbox - a few days ago, she wrote a greeting email to Chiba according to Miss Valenti's suggestion.

The email was not too long. In the letter, Hesta told Chiba about her new training plan. Based on her previous performance, the base decided to temporarily adjust her first-year courses, such as "Basic Shooting Apprentice". She was directly mentioned as "ordinary shooting training". Now she is directly training with the second-year and third-year students, and her results are not inferior.

In terms of physical fitness, after four months, her weight has risen rapidly from the initial 24kg to 30kg, and her height has also grown from 1.31m to 1.34m.Although she felt that her height growth was not satisfactory, according to Instructor Arnold, there was no need to worry, because when she grew up and entered puberty, her height would immediately increase.

For this reason, Hesta went to the Internet to find data. It is said that in the first 2 to 3 years of puberty, teenagers can grow 8 to 12 centimeters every year, which made her feel a little comforted.Because according to the standard height, the standard height of an 11-year-old girl is 1 meters-she is now 45 centimeters shorter than this standard.

However, there is still some good news during this period. For example, Arnold’s instructor has started to help her apply for a new project. If it goes well, there will be a physical fitness assessment two weeks later. After passing, she can participate in a 24-week intensive special training. Although the exact time will depend on the base arrangement, after the 24 weeks are over, she will be able to act together with Turan and Lico.

Hesta nervously opened Chiba's reply email, she didn't know what Chiba would reply, would she give a compliment?I still feel that these things are insignificant - after all, in the eyes of Miss Chiba, these things are probably trivial things.

When the email was opened, Hesta suddenly realized.

Chiba's email started with five consecutive photos, all of which were people and scenery on the grassland.

In the first photo, the sun is hot and dazzling, and the rolling mountains can be seen in the extreme distance. A zigzag snow line divides the mountain into two parts, snow white and navy blue.And from the distant snow mountain to the foot, the vast pasture is like a moat, and the pasture extends infinitely to both ends without knowing the end.

In the second picture, there is a shepherd holding a whip and a newborn lamb in his arms. The scorching sun has burned his exposed skin into a shiny bronze color. At the place where the back of the hand meets the palm, there is even a black and white line. Pink and white boundaries.

The third photo caused Hesta to lose her mind for a moment—because in the corner of the photo, she saw a red-haired woman like herself, wearing gemstones on their heads and clothes with intricate patterns on their bodies. The red-haired woman in the photo was proud Lifting the hem of the skirt and puffing out her chest, she is dancing with her female partner beside her.

When he saw the fifth photo, Hesta's eyes widened immediately.

This is a group photo of seven people. In the photo, Chiba and six Hesta women of different ages are laughing towards the camera - the oldest one looks very old, her hair is already silvery white, The eyeballs are a little gray, which may be caused by severe cataracts, but the headdress and skirt are still the traditional costumes of the Hesta tribe.

Except for Qianye, the rest of the women had red hair and blue eyes. They greeted Qianye's camera warmly, as if they were saying hello to Hesta through the screen.

Hesta continued to scroll down the page, and under the photo, Chiba wrote a short line of text:

This is a photo I took last month in the Jiaozhi Mountain area in the middle of the Fourteenth District. I will take you to see it when I have a chance.

At the end of the email, there was still Chiba's handwritten signature and a joking expression with a toothy grin, exactly the same as Chiba's handwritten card last time.

Hesta repeatedly dragged the email up and down several times, and this is indeed the only sentence Chiba left in the entire email.

Chiba didn't give any response to the daily life mentioned in her last email, even if it was just "Got it" and "Okay".

Hesta sat there in a daze for a while, her face flushed slightly.

Maybe those trivial details of life in the base... Ms. Chiba is really too boring.

Hesta lay on the table for a while, then quickly looked up, re-reading his previous emails.

Shouldn't it be so long next time?It should be shorter.

No, maybe these things are too small, and no matter how short they are, they are just dispensable things, so they shouldn't be written.

But Ms. Chiba said before that emails and phone calls can only be used to communicate some unimportant things, and important things should always be said in person.

...What should I do?

At this moment, the page suddenly refreshed by itself - it turned out that Chiba wrote another letter and email.

Dear Jane:

I forgot to mention it just now, I know everything about training, don’t just train yourself indiscriminately just to keep up with the progress.At your current stage, if you do too much strength training, you will not grow taller.There is an old saying in the [-]th District, "If you blindly seek quickness, it will be difficult to achieve your goal", so follow Arnold's advice for you.

The 24-week special training will be very hard. Although the base will definitely help you record the daily data, I suggest that you also prepare a notebook to write down the problems and insights you encountered that day. You don’t need to write a long story, just write it in one day A sentence or two is fine too.Try it and see if you can develop this habit.

By the way, did you get a present from Valenti?Like it?

-

At this end, Chiba was sitting by the window of the restaurant on the cruise ship, frowning and staring at the screen.

She's been shaking her legs since the second email, her heels tapping the wooden floor repeatedly in an anxious combo.

From time to time, people from several tables around her cast complaining glances at her, but Qianye didn't notice it.

There should be no signal at all when the boat sails out for a while, but she didn't wait for Hesta's reply until she sent two emails in a row.

But email is not instant messaging.

Maybe Jane is asleep now?
