At dawn, the sky began to lighten with a pale, fish-belly white.

For some reason, Saturday was supposed to be a day to catch up on sleep, but Chu Fang woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall back asleep.

He simply got dressed, got up, and left home.

Chu Fang jogged away from the Tanhua residential area, passed several intersections, and arrived at the riverbank closest to the residential area.

At this moment, there are many people doing morning exercises along the riverbank, taking walks, doing chest expansion exercises, or jogging, enjoying the coolest moment of summer.

He adjusted his headphones and then started jogging.

Chu Fang is a natural lazy person. Apart from playing basketball, he rarely exercises on his own initiative. However, sometimes when his "brain cancer" flares up, he will go for a run to exercise.

Every time he gets up early to run and breathes in the fresh air between heaven and earth, he feels how beautiful the world is and secretly vows to exercise every day from now on. But after exercising for the first time, he immediately forgets those vows.

Chu Fang once created an exercise chart.

Wake up and exercise, day 1: Looking forward to tomorrow's exercise, let's go!

day0: Tired.

Day 0: Rain

day0: ... ...lazy.

... ...

Finally, his roommate Wen Xiangbing couldn't stand it anymore and tore up his form. Chu Fang then let loose and never vowed to stick to his exercise regimen again.

However, to be fair, waking up early in the morning has its benefits.

There's a saying that goes, "The early bird catches the worm."

Perhaps Heaven saw that Chu Fang was running early in the morning and rewarded him accordingly.

A girl was running towards them, dressed in a clean white casual outfit. Her hair was tied up in a bun, with a few strands falling gently beside her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

Her eyes were bright and expressive, her nose was straight, her lips were rosy, her figure was slender and graceful, and every gesture she made exuded an elegant charm.

Upon seeing Chu Fang, Zhong Tingyue smiled faintly and slowly stopped. He also stopped and said unhurriedly, "Oh, you're up quite early."

"I can't sleep." The two of them went from jogging to walking slowly, side by side along the riverbank. Zhong Tingyue replied while wiping the sweat from her forehead.

People who do a lot of bad things don't have good sleep quality.

"Tch!" Upon hearing this, Zhong Tingyue rolled her eyes at him, not angry at all, but instead exuding charm: "And what about you?"

Chu Fang straightened his back: "Yes, I can't sleep because I've done too many bad things."

As he finished speaking, he silently thought to himself: Pursuing you was the most guilty thing I've ever done.

“... ..."

Zhong Tingyue was speechless at Chu Fang's "Seven Injury Fist" technique, which injured both the enemy and himself.

Upon reaching a small shop, Chu Fang said to Zhong Tingyue, "Shall I offer you some water?"

"Thanks."

"Boss, give me two bottles of mineral water." After taking the water, he pointed to Zhong Tingyue next to him and said, "She'll pay."

“… …” Zhong Tingyue’s lips twitched. “Didn’t you invite me?”

“That’s right, I’ll treat you and you pay the bill, that’s fair,” Chu Fang said righteously. “I’m supposed to treat you and pay the bill, how come you get all the good things and I’m the only one who suffers? Do you think I’m being unreasonable?”

That makes sense.

That makes absolutely no sense!

What kind of twisted logic is this?

"Then I won't drink it." Zhong Tingyue suppressed the urge to beat up the 'rogue' in front of her.

"You won't even share a bottle of mineral water with your colleagues, you're such a miser." Chu Fang shook his head and sighed as he took out his phone to scan the QR code. "Hey, I bought it, this is robbery!"

Zhong Tingyue practically snatched the bottle of mineral water from his hand, twisted off the cap, and took a big gulp.

The two continued their slow walk along the riverbank, with Chu Fang still muttering about what had just happened.

You owe me money for a bottle of mineral water.

"Who owes it?"

"you."

"No."

"I paid for the bottled water just now."

"You're treating, aren't you?"

"But I also paid."

That's your problem.

"You scoundrel, huh?"

"It really is true!"

“... ..."

broken!

Zhong Tingyue has also started to become shameless.

The two walked to a bend in the riverbank, a place rarely visited by people.

Suddenly, a figure in the distance caught Chu Fang's attention, and his expression immediately turned serious.

There stood a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, with dyed blonde hair, her eyes filled with glistening tears, and her face filled with disappointment. She was standing on the railing of the riverbank with her hands raised high.

His posture clearly indicated that he wanted to commit suicide.

Zhong Tingyue noticed it before him and immediately ran over, anxiously saying, "Little sister, what are you doing? Don't do anything rash."

"Don't come any closer!" The blonde girl was startled and almost fell. Fortunately, she was steady enough to maintain her balance. She turned around and shouted at Zhong Tingyue, "If you come any closer, I'll jump off here!"

"Don't go down a path of no return. It's already incredibly difficult for us to come into this world, but even if it's not easy, we must keep going. Once you get over this hurdle, you'll find that life is truly beautiful..." Zhong Tingyue approached quietly, trying to make her voice as gentle as possible.

"You're still very young, with a long and wonderful future ahead of you. Think about your friends; are you willing to leave them? Think about your parents; they gave birth to you, raised you, and poured their hearts and souls into you, hoping you'd be happy. How heartbroken they would be if you left, leaving them destitute and alone for the rest of their lives..."

Hearing Zhong Tingyue's words of advice, the young woman with yellow hair seemed to be moved, and her emotions softened considerably, no longer as agitated as before.

Chu Fang raised an eyebrow.

An ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

Zhong Tingyue noticed that the other person's emotions had calmed down, and she was overjoyed. She continued, "Think about your future, a sincere love..."

Bang!

Before she could finish speaking, the blond-haired girl's face showed despair, utterly hopeless and heartbroken. She swayed and plunged straight into the river, creating a huge splash.

Chu Fang twitched the corner of his mouth; sure enough, his ominous premonition had come true.

Here's a little tip: if someone wants to commit suicide, never try to persuade them with the help of family, friends, or lovers. Humans are very resilient, and material things are unlikely to trigger suicidal thoughts. Only spiritual failure or despair can lead someone down a path of no return.

The vast majority of spiritual despair stems from family, friends, and lovers.

Zhong Tingyue had clearly made a grave mistake. At this moment, she was so anxious that her cheeks were flushed and she was covered in sweat. While climbing the railing to prepare to go into the water to save the person, she said to Chu Fang, "Don't just stand there, call 120 right away."
