Chapter 2

If a person truly wanted to die, he would leave quietly in the dead of night.

Lan Sixi cried on the roof for almost ten minutes but still didn’t jump down. Something must be weighing on her mind.

Chen Yeliang knew that as long as she was willing to talk about it, this matter would be resolved by half.

“You’re going to die anyway, so there’s no harm in telling me, right?” Chen Yeliang patiently coaxed her.

Lan Sixi rubbed her swollen eyes and looked at the stranger through her tears.

Although this guy said some heartless words, Lan Sixi could see the sincerity in his eyes—he really didn’t want her to die!

Lan Sixi clutched at her heart and lowered her head. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart. It was their first time meeting, yet she felt that the other party was very dependable …

She suddenly looked up, eyes filled with determination. That’s right! I can’t die under such dubious circumstances!

“I…” Lan Sixi bit her lip.” I think there’s no point in living! ”

“How so?”

“When I went to the washroom just now, someone… someone secretly took photos of me. They even threatened… threatened me.” Lan Sixi’s face flushed with embarrassment, unable to speak anymore.

She kept consoling herself in her heart, Since I’m going to die soon, might as well spill everything and let that scoundrel get his just desserts!

Chen Yeliang continued asking, “What did he threaten you with?”

“Threatened me to be his girlfriend!” Lan Sixi bellowed out with all her might.

When he heard that, Chen Yeliang did not know what to say anymore. What kind of a pervert was this guy? Secretly taking photos of a girl and still threatened her to be his girlfriend, this scoundrel was simply too shameless!

However, compared to death, Chen Yeliang felt that it was not a big deal. Hence, he gestured towards Lan Sixi.

“You’re going to die because of this? You’re not the one at fault, it’s that b*stard who took photos of you!”

“If you’re afraid, I’ll beat him up for you! Make him delete every single photo he took!”

He hoped his display of fake indignation could convince Lan Sixi to change her mind.

Upon hearing this, Lan Sixi glanced at Chen Yeliang timidly and whispered, “He’s not to be trifled with. You can’t beat him.”

Chen Yeliang frowned slightly. Although he was by no means a brawny guy, at 1.8 meters tall, he was nonetheless among the top-notch batch. What kind of herculean character could that scoundrel be, for Lan Sixi to be so convinced of his superiority?

Moreover, even a school belle like Lan Sixi was somewhat in awe of his strength. Could he be some kind of extraordinary character?

Chen Yeliang shrugged nonchalantly and said, “How would we know if we don’t try?”

“If I lose, I’ll take revenge for you again after I recover!”

“Don’t be afraid!”

“It’s not worth it to kill yourself over such a trivial matter! The one who should be punished is that pervert, not you.”

Lan Sixi knew that Chen Yeliang was trying to comfort her. Watching the attractive spirited guy in front of her making so much effort to convince her, a warm fuzzy feeling welled up in her heart.

It had been so long time since she felt appreciated!

It had been so long time since someone had listened to her seriously!

It had been so long time since someone cared so much about her!

At the thought of this, Lan Sixi turned to look at the other side of the city. Her thoughts drifted to her family.

She thought of her father, who was such an influential man in such a high position, carrying so much clout and authority. He was never at home, often ignoring her.

In the past, Lan Sixi comforted herself that it was because her father was too busy. As his daughter, she should show more understanding towards him.

However, who would have thought that after her stepmother gave birth to her younger brother, her father, although still busy, would always stay by the crib to play with her younger brother whenever he was free.

Lan Sixi felt very upset. The tears that had stopped started flowing freely again.

Seeing this, Chen Yeliang frantically thought, Why is this Madam crying again?

At this point, Chen Yeliang heard the police siren coming from the direction of the school gate.

Heaving a sigh of relief, he thought, Thank God, help has finally arrived!

“Lan Sixi, don’t cry! If you have any problems, just let me know. I’ll definitely help you!” Chen Yeliang quickly tried to ameliorate the situation.

But the more he tried, the more aggrieved Lan Sixi felt, and the louder she cried.

The sound of crying coupled with the sound of the wind made Chen Yeliang’s ears numb.

Chen Yeliang thought bitterly, A woman’s heart was unfathomable like a needle at the bottom of the sea. For almost 20 years he had never been romantically involved with anyone. He had absolutely no idea what to say in order to break through into the girl’s heart.

He wracked his brain in frustration. Then he dusted off the dust on his pants, stood up and walked briskly to the boundary wall.

At this moment, Lan Sixi was exhausted from crying. She slid down to the ground and curled up into a ball, sobbing.

Chen Yeliang adroitly leaped over the boundary wall and grabbed Lan Sixi’s slim arm firmly.

Lan Sixi’s body trembled as she stared at this school mate who was just inches away from her. Her bright eyes pored over Chen Yeliang from head to toe. She did not expect this stranger to jump over here.

If she were to struggle and cause him to get injured now, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.

At the thought of this, Lan Sixi lowered her head and quieted down, allowing Chen Yeliang to hold on to her.

“Too much cold wind can cause stomach upset, let’s go somewhere else to cry!” Chen Yeliang said with a sigh of relief.

Lan Sixi sniffed twice. She kept her head lowered and did not answer.

“Don’t cry anymore,” Chen Yeliang finally had the chance to pass the crumpled tissue to Lan Sixi.

Following that, he helped Lan Sixi up.

The laboratory building was not very high, but the wind at the top of the building was strong. It was easy for people to get blown away.

Chen Yeliang unwittingly looked down.

Unbeknownst to him, a crowd had gathered downstairs. Gawking students and teaching staff were standing outside the cordoned-off zone. Police officers were maintaining order at the scene, and firefighters were laying out a life-saving air-mattress.

But there was a problem. A small fig tree was growing luxuriously in the middle, obstructing the most optimum location.

But Chen Yeliang did not think much of it. He thought to himself, “It’s alright, I’ve already saved her.”

He said softly to Lan Sixi, “Can you still climb over?”

Lan Sixi shook her head weakly and leaned limply in Chen Yeliang’s arms. The sweet scent of her hair wafted into Chen Yeliang’s nose. Even the wind could not disperse it.

But right now this was a moment of life and death. Chen Yeliang was not in the mood to think so much. The most important thing now was to complete the mission!

He apologized, then crouched down to grab hold of Lan Sixi’s slender waist. He lifted her up and with one leg over the wall, he sat her down on top of the wall. After he himself had clambered over, he then helped her down.

“Hey! I was wondering why you didn’t want to be my girlfriend! So you’re dating a gigolo!”

At this moment, a piercing sound of mockery interrupted the congenial atmosphere.

A skinny man with protruding lips and cheeks like a monkey stood at the doorway of the rooftop. A centipede-like scar crawled across his chin as he leered at Lan Sixi’s exposed fair thighs.

This man was called Li Tan. He was an unemployed vagrant who often loitered in the school premises to harass female students.

On the second day after Chen Yeliang started university classes, he saw him being chased out of the school campus by the security guards. He wondered how he had sneaked into the school again today.

By his own words, it would appear that Li Tan was the one who had threatened Lan Sixi!

Students without any experience in society could easily be intimidated by shady scoundrels. It was natural for Lan Sixi to feel afraid.

“It’s you!” Lan Sixi’s eyes widened suddenly, and she inadvertently fell back outside the wall.

Chen Yeliang swiftly grabbed hold of Lan Sixi’s sleeve.

“I’ve completely seen the little beauty’s panties!” Li Tan leaped towards the wall and leaned on it, laughing maniacally. “I have even seen what’s’ inside the panties!”

For an innocent obedient girl with a noble background, Li Tan’s humiliation felt worse than getting killed.

Lan Sixi cowered in fear. Flushed with humiliation, she covered her reddened face with both hands and sobbed in despair.

“B*stard!” Chen Yeliang was furious. He grabbed Li Tan by the collar over the wall and said, “Hand over the photos that you took, or else!”

Li Tan looked up at Chen Yeliang and said disdainfully, “Kid, do you know who my Big Bro is? How dare you grab my clothes?”

“I don’t give a sh*t who you are. You can’t bully Lan Sixi!”

Li Tan was the type who feared the strong but bullied the weak. Seeing how tall Chen Yeliang was, he knew he would definitely be at a disadvantage in a fight. He turned around to goad Lan Sixi instead.

“Little beauty, your boyfriend is quite protective of you. What do you think will happen if I show him your photos?”

“No!”

Lan Sixi covered her face, her hoarse voice filled with despair.

Right after that, Lan Sixi jumped off the building without hesitation under everyone’s stunned gazes!
