Chapter 17: The Past of the Two (Part I)
At that time, Luo Li and Xiaobai were just ordinary classmates, and they had no other relationship, let alone innocent and romantic memories.
Even the strangers I met on the bus gave up their seats much better than the relationship between them.
Three years later, what happened in the two hours when Xiaobai first came out of social work completely changed the fate of the two.
It was winter, the weather was cold, and most people would be at home or go to a place where there was an air conditioner to heat up, but Luo Li was alone on the roof of the top floor of a high-rise building, which was a building that was about to get older, although the building was high, the appearance was not as gorgeous as the modern construction, there were many simple places, and the roof was no exception, and the low wall could not hide many protruding steel bars on the edge.
She stood on the edge of the roof, looking out at the dim cityscape, and couldn't help but smile wryly.
"The same color as my life."
It's noon, and the sun should be high in the middle of the sky, but unfortunately the weather is bad today, and strange dark clouds cover the whole sky, leaving no gaps.
Opposite this building, the first floor of another building is where Xiaobai works, and the first time he goes to work is eleven o'clock.
After an hour of work, everything is difficult at the beginning, although it is only a little tired for a while, but the work is like this, stick to it, and it is much better to get used to it.
The cashier at the front desk who was settling accounts looked at the trash can that was almost full, and said, "Xiaobai, please tie up the garbage bag and put it outside the door for someone to collect it first."
Xiaobai nodded, and then did as she said, I didn't expect a bag of garbage to be so heavy, how much I could understand the hard work of my parents, and wiped the sweat on my face with my sleeve at the door after moving, and raised my head to wipe the sweat on my neck.
Suddenly the action stopped, and I happened to see someone on the roof of the opposite building moving along the edge, thinking that the person couldn't think about it, even if it wasn't, this kind of windy weather, the slightest carelessness would fall to his death.
There were people on the road, but only Xiaobai found out, and immediately put aside the work matter, gave priority to saving people, and rushed to the opposite building.
Time is very urgent, the elevator is under maintenance, there is no time to complain, so I have to climb the stairs with all my strength to sprint, as fast as possible.
At the front desk, the cashier was in the process of settling accounts, and he left his post for a minute, only to come back and find that the 3,000 yuan pressed under the ledger was missing, which shocked the audience.
She thought that the company's employees were more likely to steal and the number of employees was large, so she immediately locked the door to investigate and prevent escape.
Because Xiaobai was missing, everyone started to talk about it, and the second, third, and fourth began to appear... Say something suspicious about him, such as looking left and right at the environment when he came to the interview before, and saying that he admires the job of the cashier, etc.
In the end, the discussion inexplicably determined that Xiaobai was a thief and called the police.
On the other side of the roof.
As Xiaobai expected, Luo Li had a suicidal move, and actually stood on the wall with a smile, jumping around on the edge of the roof.
After a closer look, it seemed to be his classmate, Xiaobai was afraid of stimulating the other party, so he squeezed a topic and said, "Hi! Classmate, remember me? ”
Luo Li stopped and said expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
"That's what I'm trying to say..."
"See the joke?" Luo Li said again.
"No, it's not, don't you see we're classmates? Even though I'm not in school now, it's always okay to say hello to my classmates from my former class, right? ”
Xiaobai was sweating profusely and panting.
"Liars, you're all liars."
For some reason, she suddenly became excited.
"Calm down, that..."
"What's her name... I don't know."
"Be calm, that place, that's right, the place on the wall is dangerous, let's come and talk about it if you have something." Xiaobai tried to approach her.
"Don't come here, I'll jump off if I come again."
She moved back a little in warning.
"Okay, can't I go over? Don't go any further. ”
"I didn't know what to do when I rushed up, I knew to call the police first and let the police out."
After thinking about it, he changed the subject and said, "Today is my first day of work."
"What are you talking about? I'm not interested in hearing it. ”
Xiaobai stabilized his position and continued: "I just worked for an hour, but I didn't expect the work to be quite tiring."
"I'm tired after only an hour, what kind of man is he?"
He managed to change the subject, but for some reason he couldn't be happy.
"No way, it's the first time." Xiaobai forcibly smiled evilly.
Luo Li seemed to understand what he meant, his expression was a little shy, and he changed back to his expressionless appearance in the blink of an eye.
"I'm leaving this world today, you don't have to be nosy."
Hearing this, Xiaobai was very unhappy.
"It's not easy for everyone to live, and you just have nothing to do."
"What do you know about me?"
The two roared at each other.
"I don't understand, but as long as you live, there is nothing you can't overcome."
Luo Li didn't listen to the words, after all, people who are emotional are like this.
"Anyway..."
Luo Li inadvertently moved his steps, his feet should have been a little numb after standing for a long time, and he shook his body slightly as if he was about to be unstable, Xiaobai felt wrong, and immediately rushed forward.
"Anyway... Ah......h
Sure enough, she couldn't stand steadily, and with the strong wind on the roof, her body fell backwards, and she screamed as she fell.
Fortunately, Xiaobai reacted in advance and grabbed her hand steadily, wanting to save her as soon as possible, but Luo Li said, "Let it go, I don't want you to care."
Holding it too tightly would hurt her, but Xiaobai still clung to it, gritting his teeth and pulling it up.
"I'm not going to let it go, I'm going to take care of it."
"Let it go, I don't want anyone anyway, and my parents don't want me anymore."
"The man's husband said he wouldn't let it go, and no one wanted me to ask for it, so I reached out and grabbed it and climbed up." In order to save her, Xiaobai said everything.
Luo Li suddenly quieted down, and after listening to his words, she stretched out her hand to grab the wall and overtake it, so that Xiaobai could pull her up.
"Whew... I'm tired to go. ”
Xiaobai sat on the ground panting, his hands shaking with excessive exertion.
"Show me your hands."
"No... It's okay. ”
"I'm really scared of you, twenty floors high, big sister."
Luo Li covered the position where Xiao Bai had shaken his hand, and muttered in a low voice: "You just said... To be... To ......"
"Yes, yes, I did."
"If you don't say that, how can you come up honestly."
"Hee-hee..."
The person who had just committed suicide was actually laughing now, in case she continued this stupid behavior, Xiaobai held her hand and sent her home.
By the time I got back to work, it had been an hour late.
