Chapter 1: First Encounter

Next Chapter

"One, two, three...... So much ......"

Shang Xiaoyu folded her fingers and muttered to herself, she looked at the people coming and going outside the car window, frowning tightly. A man whose whole body was entangled in black smoke entered Shang Xiaoyu's line of sight, she bit her lip and simply turned her head to stop looking.

"Ahh A sudden exclamation attracted the unanimous attention of everyone in the car. Seeing that it caused a commotion, Shang Xiaoyu smiled apologetically and said that it was nothing, and everyone ignored it anymore.

Shang Xiaoyu took a few deep breaths to try to calm down, and then cautiously set his eyes on the little boy who had just gotten into the car and sat on the same parallel line as him.

The little boy was smiling and eating an ice cream in his hand, and his mother was still talking and laughing with him, and when she saw the residual ice cream hanging from the corner of his mouth, she took out a tissue and carefully wiped it off for him.

But all this was very strange in Shang Xiaoyu's eyes. She saw the little boy who was sometimes transparent and illusory, sometimes covered in blood, staring at the front with big eyes, his head was full of blood, and blood was constantly gushing out of his ears, nose and mouth, and the ice cream in the boy's hand was also splashed with blood, red and white, stimulating the eyeballs.

When the bus arrived, the back door slowly opened, and the mother took the little boy's hand and prepared to get off.

"Hey." Shang Xiaoyu couldn't help but grab the mother and hesitated, "Let's go down next stop." ”

The mother looked inexplicable, obviously annoyed. She noticed Shang Xiaoyu's strange gaze from just getting in the car, and her eyes were full of vigilance when she looked at Shang Xiaoyu. She shook off Shang Xiaoyu's hand, scolded "sick", and then picked up the little boy and got out of the car.

The doors closed and the car started slowly.

Gradually, there seemed to be a faint sound of the car's emergency brakes behind him, followed by the heart-rending cry of a woman. Shang Xiaoyu closed his eyes tightly, hurriedly took out the headphones from his schoolbag, and used the loudest music to isolate everything.

She can't remember the first time, she knew that others were getting closer and closer to death but couldn't do anything, and the only thing she could do was probably a simple reminder, because no amount of explanation would only be scolded by others as if they were crazy.

Shang Xiaoyu walked absentmindedly on campus, perhaps because she was already a senior, there were not many people in the department anymore, basically going out for internships and postgraduate entrance examinations, and there were basically no people like her who had nothing to do all day. Because of the small number of people, the professor also directly handed her the key to the studio and let her come and go as she pleased.

The huge studio was empty, only there was a drawing board in the corner, Shang Xiaoyu walked over, put down the bag, picked up the pen and began to draw. Unconsciously, the sun shifted its position, and the hot sunlight hit Shang Xiaoyu's body, and after finishing the last stroke, she couldn't bear to go to the window and close the curtains.

In the dim light, a handsome little boy on the drawing paper smiled sweetly, holding an ice cream in his hand. Shang Xiaoyu picked up the painting and put it into a big album.

She flipped through the pages of the album, each of which was a sketch of a person from all walks of life. There are white-collar workers, elderly teachers, young newlywed mothers, etc., she once witnessed the end of their lives but could only watch and do nothing.

When it was time for lunch, Shang Xiaoyu packed up his things, locked the studio and ran to the cafeteria.

The people live on food. Shang Xiaoyu would never treat herself badly, so even if everyone passing by looked horrified when they saw her table full of food, she still enjoyed herself.

The ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted Shang Xiaoyu, and after looking at the caller ID, she hurriedly swallowed the braised pork in her mouth and answered the phone: "Hello Assistant Liu, I'm Shang Xiaoyu." ”

"Hello Miss Shang, can the two paintings that Mr. Su ordered last time be sent over today?" Assistant Liu's voice is very special, and people will remember it once they hear it.

"Oh, yes, can I send it over as soon as lunch is over?" Shang Xiaoyu asked.

Assistant Liu happily agreed: "Okay." That's it. ”

Hanging up the phone, Shang Xiaoyu snapped his fingers, and was in a good mood. You must know that the business of AM Group this time is a big order, and the two paintings ordered are enough for her to live happily for two months.

After sweeping the table full of delicacies, there were no worries, and Shang Xiaoyu was ready to meet the beautiful days ahead.

AM Group is a large international company with many subsidiaries not only in Japan but also abroad. I once heard the gossip of girls in the same class before, saying that Su Yize, the vice president of AM, is still a handsome and handsome golden bachelor, and I don't know if I have the luck to meet him this time.

Thinking about it, Shang Xiaoyu couldn't help but smile with a nymphomaniac. When she came back to her senses, she noticed that many people around her were running across the road, and she followed the public to find out, but saw a person standing on the opposite building, who seemed to be crumbling in the wind, and it seemed that the person was going to commit suicide by jumping off the building.

Oh, this world is so strange, some people desperately want to live but can't get what they want, and some people always love to die and find life even though they have a great future.

"Officer, that's my son, he's just been diagnosed with cancer, what can I do, officer. You're going to have to help me save him, officer! Shang Xiaoyu saw an old woman over half a hundred years old tearfully pulling the police at the scene and pleading earnestly.

Because the distance was too far, Shang Xiaoyu couldn't see that person clearly, she looked at the time, gritted her teeth and rushed to the building. While rushing up, Shang Xiaoyu scolded himself again for being nosy.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that God gave her such a pair of eyes in the dark.

Shang Xiaoyu was holding a painting in his left hand and right hand, so it was extremely difficult to walk, and he finally climbed to the top of the building, and before she could rest and catch her breath, she was stopped by the police who had already come up to persuade her.

"I'm sorry miss, you can't go over." A policeman reached out to block her attempts to move forward.

Shang Xiaoyu waved her hand and then stopped, she put the painting on the ground and supported it with her hands, breathing steadily and shouting, "You won't die!" Hey, big brother, you can still be saved if you have cancer, if you jump now, you really can't be saved. ”

"You know what!" The middle-aged man yelled.

What do I know?! I haven't seen thousands of people who are on the verge of death, and now you, who have no signs, can be a person who has stepped into a coffin with two feet!

Shang Xiaoyu was extremely depressed, she knew that her words would definitely be laughed out, and she might be convicted by the police of obstructing official business. But she came up, and she knew that this person would not die, so could she still care about it.

"Well, now that medical care is very advanced, cancer can also be cured, think about your family. Your mom is still down there, can you bear to let her watch you jump from here? It's better to die than to live, isn't it? Shang Xiaoyu had already tried her best to persuade the person in front of her with all the touching words.

"Don't say anything, I won't believe you!" The man's arms waved, and every movement was tugging at the hearts of those who watched it.

"Oh, the Grim Reaper is very busy, today is not the day you die, so don't join in the fun." Shang Xiaoyu really didn't know how to persuade him.

"If you want to jump, jump early, what are you hesitating about! Men, you have to be neat, either fly down with one step or jump down with two feet, make a decision quickly. The man who said this was a man who had just arrived at the scene, he was dressed in casual clothes, his short hair was still dripping with water beads, and a face under his bangs was full of unreliability.

After speaking, he turned his face and looked at Shang Xiaoyu, he wanted to see who was using such a naΓ―ve way to persuade a person who wanted to die not to die.

"Hey, it's inhumane for you to say that." Shang Xiaoyu whispered accusations against him.

"Officer Meng." Several other policemen greeted the newcomer.

"Moe ...... Police officer? Who's cute? Shang Xiaoyu frowned, full of disgust.

Meng Xuan raised a big smile, pointed at himself and nodded, and said affirmatively: "It's me, don't doubt it." ”

"What's wrong with you?" Shang Xiaoyu questioned.

"What a cuteness! I'm talking about police officers! Officer I'm the officer! OK? Meng Xuan went berserk.

A few little policemen on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "That, Officer Meng, there is another person." ”

Looking at the man standing on the edge of the rooftop, Meng Xuan pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said as he walked in that direction: "Oh, yes, I forgot about you." Why are you still up there, it's sunny, the sun is so big. Why don't you hurry up and make a decision? ”

The man yelled at Meng Xuan not to come closer, and at the same time moved carefully under his feet to avoid him.

Meng Xuan's footsteps never stopped, and his mouth didn't stop, and finally he was really impatient, rubbed his hair and said, "If you don't make a decision, then I'll help you make a decision." After saying that, without the slightest pause, one of them threw himself and dragged the man down, and both of them fell on the rooftop.

Shang Xiaoyu and several policemen all exclaimed in surprise, and when they saw that the two of them were safe, they were immediately relieved.

No one expected Meng Xuan's unexpected move, even the man didn't react and was scared stupid, and after coming back to his senses, he cried loudly, not knowing whether he cried for the rest of his life or if he didn't die after crying.

"That, it's okay for you to cry again after you get up, do you know that you're very heavy, wow, you can't smash a big hole if you fall like this." Meng Xuan pushed the man who was more than a hundred pounds on him in disgust, "Hey, why are you still standing there watching, why don't you come over and help me." ”

Only then did a few little policemen react, and hurriedly rushed over one after another to help Meng Xuan up, and the two of them were holding him with one arm and waiting for him. The rest of the people were responsible for the aftermath of this small accident, and the crowd of onlookers below was also relieved, and several policemen helped the old woman to rush upstairs.

"After you go back, you must remember to write the scene just now into the report as it is, my handsomeness is just a brush, after all, it takes several pages to write in detail, and I can't give you a chance to make up the number of words." Seeing that these little policemen looked like they wanted to say something, he shook his head again and stopped, "Don't thank me too much, just remember to think of me if there is something good." ”

"Definitely, definitely, Officer Meng." The little policemen smiled wryly in response.

When Shang Xiaoyu saw Meng Xuan's series of actions, he didn't know whether to praise him for his bravery or say that he was cheeky, he was simply a scoundrel, how could he look like a policeman.

Meng Xuan saw that Shang Xiaoyu had been staring at her, and automatically ignored the disgust on her face that couldn't be hidden, and said with a smile: "This lady, don't worry, serving the people is what I should do." ”

"Wow, the country is really getting better and better for the people, and the people's police have been fed so thick-skinned." Shang Xiaoyu looked at the sky and complained.

When several little policemen heard this, they all burst into laughter, and Meng Xuan shook off their hands and followed Shang Xiaoyu's footsteps and got on the same elevator together.

"Hey, honestly, wasn't I hooked just now?" Meng Xuan looked ahead, looked at himself reflected in the elevator, and winked at Shang Xiaoyu.

Shang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I'm sorry, cute...... Officer, maybe the sun was too big up there just now, I didn't see it clearly, sorry. ”

Meng Xuan, who just wanted to argue a few more words, watched the elevator door open, Shang Xiaoyu didn't look back, and got off the elevator with two behemoths, he smiled helplessly, and then took the elevator down to the underground parking lot on the negative floor.

He just finished taking a shower and didn't dry his hair, originally just wanted to come out at noon to steal something to buy something, but he didn't expect to encounter such a small episode. There was a nice windfall, and the smile on Meng Xuan's face deepened.

Assistant Liu, who was waiting impatiently, had already made a few phone calls to urge, but Shang Xiaoyu was scared and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he ran to the opposite side to deliver the painting without stopping.

As soon as he saw Assistant Liu, Shang Xiaoyu was taken aback. This beautifully dressed woman, though angry at her tardiness, could not hide her beauty. It's just that her Yin Tang is blackened and entangled in a puff of black smoke, which is not a good sign.

Subconsciously, Shang Xiaoyu wanted to open her mouth to remind her, but thinking that she had no position and reason to speak, she had to swallow back the words that came to her mouth.

"Miss Shang, this is your reward." Assistant Liu handed over a check she signed, and Shang Xiaoyu took it blankly, but she was lamenting in her heart that she wouldn't use the check.
