Lin Yi’s words deeply moved Xu Chunyu.
He looked again at the person standing on the rooftop.
"What you said makes sense, but I still don’t quite understand this feeling."
"That’s normal," Lin Yi said, smiling:
"You’re not her, so you can’t empathize and naturally won’t understand. Just focus on our job."
"Okay."
The two of them stood below, staring at the girl attempting suicide on the rooftop, adjusting the position of the air mattress continuously.
A crowd had gathered around; even though they were strangers, their faces were filled with concern.
In that mont, Lin Yi seed to understand the true aning of the system.
While it brought him rewards, it also made him understand the myriad aspects of life.
His life wasn’t the real deal; theirs was.
At the sa ti, on the rooftop, Ding Fei and others stood about five ters away from the girl, cautiously trying to get closer.
"Miss, try to think positively; if there’s anything troubling you, you can talk to ," Liu Qingfeng advised.
The girl on the rooftop was not very tall, slightly chubby, with a blank expression, looking ashen.
"You don’t have to persuade . I just want so peace," the girl said calmly:
"Don’t co any closer, or I’ll jump from here."
"Alright, alright, we won’t move," Liu Qingfeng said:
"Don’t you think doing sothing like this over a man is irrational? You have parents and friends; you should think about them."
"My family disapproves of us being together. To be with him, I’ve broken ties with them and ended up being conned out of 200,000. My family won’t help anymore."
"But you can find soone new. You’re young, and a brighter future awaits you," Ding Fei added.
"No, no one will like again."
"Don’t say that. How about this, I’ll introduce you to soone," Ding Fei said:
"How about my colleague over there? He’s single, and he ntioned that you’re just his type."
Liu Qingfeng: ???
You sold out!
That’s not my type!
Ding Fei ignored all that and took off Liu Qingfeng’s helt.
"Take a look at this guy from our team; not bad, right?" Ding Fei said:
"He’s been pursued by many over the years, but never t the right one until now. eting you shows fate."
To save a life, Ding Fei threw his teammate under the bus.
And Liu Qingfeng had no choice; saving a life was more important than anything else.
Just sacrifice appearance a bit.
The girl looked back at Liu Qingfeng, her face extrely grave.
"But he’s not my type, not good-looking."
Liu Qingfeng: ???
Ding Fei: ???
Hearing this, the police and firefighters fell silent.
"Don’t worry, our firefighting team has other single guys who will surely et your satisfaction."
Saying this, Ding Fei picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Lin Yi, co up here for a bit."
"Okay."
About a minute later, Lin Yi ca up from the stairwell.
Before he could ask what was going on, Ding Fei dragged him over.
"Miss, what do you think of him? No one in our departnt is as good-looking as him. Plus, he’s been single for years, hasn’t even had a girlfriend."
Lin Yi: ???
What’s with this tactic?
"And let tell you, we talked before, and he revealed to that you’re his ideal type, so much so that he’d smile in his sleep dreaming of eting soone like you."
Lin Yi: ...
Hearing Ding Fei’s words, the girl turned back to look at him and was instantly impressed.
"Is he really single?"
"Truly, I never lie," Ding Fei said:
"You two would be a perfect match, truly heaven-made."
As he spoke, Ding Fei nudged Lin Yi.
Lin Yi awkwardly laughed, feeling numb all over.
"Our squad leader is right."
The girl bead with joy, eyes gleaming.
"If he wants to be with , he must agree to my terms."
"Alright, alright, tell us your terms; he can et them," Ding Fei persuaded.
"But my conditions are a bit high. I don’t know if he can do it."
"He must be able to, eting you is his fortune. Even if he has to sell property, he’d do it to et your demands."
As he spoke, Ding Fei nudged Lin Yi again.
"Say sothing; why are you stalling?"
Lin Yi: ...
I don’t want to say anything, just want to whack you over the head.
"Yes, yes, my leader is right. eting you is a fortune earned over eight lifetis; co down now."
"I can’t co down yet, I haven’t stated my conditions," the girl stubbornly replied.
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
"To be with , there must be a 100 square ter apartnt in the city center, an imported car worth over a million, 660,000 as bride price, no living with parents after marriage, and I’m afraid of pain, so I don’t want kids. All your earning must be spent by , with pocket money allocated as per my mood. Can you do this?"
After hearing her demands, everyone present, male or female, fell even more silent.
"With the looks of this guy, girls willing to pay must be lined up, how does she dare to say such things?" said a female officer leading the negotiation.
"Perhaps it’s the breakup and heartbreak that have left her speaking nonsensically."
"It’s truly hard on him..."
"Okay."
Ding Fei said with a pained expression:
"He agrees to everything, just co down now. Don’t just give you the paycheck, he’d give his life too."
"He has to promise first before I co down."
"Alright, alright, I promise you, just co down," Lin Yi reluctantly said.
"You said it; let’s get married now."
"Don’t just stand there, say sothing," Ding Fei softly reminded.
"Leader, you can make sell out my looks, but not my dignity; I can’t do this."
"Saving a life surpasses building a seven-story pagoda; at this crucial mont, what does dignity matter? Saving her is more important than anything else."
Lin Yi exhaled, continuously building his ntal resolve, and said:
"Alright, I promise you, do whatever you want once you co down."
"Alright then, it’s settled."
Saying so, the girl slowly turned around and jumped back onto the rooftop.
The people lying in wait quickly tackled her, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You let go; we still need to get married," she said.
Lin Yi shivered, covered in goosebumps, and hurried back to the stairwell.
He was feeling quite overwheld.
At this mont, the system’s prompt sounded.
