"Ah——" Fang Yingdi's head was hit by something and she immediately screamed with all her might.
"Ah——" Jiang Wenhua also started screaming when he heard the sound.
After the two of them called out for a while, Jiang Wenhua slowly came over and asked, "You...are you a human?"
Fang Yingdi was freezing cold. She heard someone on the shore but couldn't quite make out who it was. She shouted in a trembling voice, "Hurry up and pull me up!"
Jiang Wenhua heard the familiar voice, but still couldn't believe it. However, since it was a human, there was nothing to be afraid of. He reached out and pulled her up. Fang Yingdi used the force to climb up and sat on the ground to rest. She was not drowned, but she was almost exhausted and frozen to death.
A slight breeze from the shore blew against Fang Yingdi's body, soaking her clothes. She shivered violently, then tremblingly said thank you: "Comrade, thank you. Without you, I would probably die."
Jiang Wenhua vaguely saw her trembling and heard her talking, and he recognized her at once. Wasn't this Comrade Xiao Fang, whom he had just helped during the day?
To avoid making a mistake, he squatted down, squinting his eyes to see more clearly, and asked hesitantly, "Is that Comrade Xiao Fang?"
Fang Yingdi's heart skipped a beat, and she recognized the kindhearted person. "Comrade Jiang?"
Hearing it was someone he knew, Jiang Wenhua relaxed a little. Seeing she was shivering from the cold, he took off his coat and threw it to her. He asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a good mood so late at night? You're actually swimming in the river? Did you swim to our place because it was too dark and you got lost?"
Fang Yingdi pulled the coat off her head. The coat still had some residual warmth. She put it on and felt a little strange, but she didn't dare let Jiang Wenhua notice. However, after hearing this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, but it was too dark and Jiang Wenhua didn't see it.
Fang Yingdi felt that Jiang Wenhua sometimes had a real problem with his brain. Who would jump into the river to swim in so many clothes in the middle of the night? Isn't this just crazy?
Her voice was hoarse. “I wanted to die at first, but after I jumped in, it was too painful, so I regretted it. Then I spent some time learning how to swim.”
For the first time, Jiang Wenhua was speechless. His eloquent mouth didn't know what to say or where to start. After calming down, he first asked, "...Why do you want to die?"
Fang Yingdi turned her head and was silent for a moment before she said, "I don't know either. Maybe I just feel that life is meaningless. Anyway, I'm not the child they expected to be born, and I don't have any abilities. I'll grow up and grow old by myself, and then if I'm lucky, I'll die suddenly, and if I'm unlucky, I'll die painfully, and end my life. That's it. I don't know what the point of living is."
Jiang Wenhua: "What's the point of living? Living allows you to eat soft buns made by the cafeteria chef, living allows you to see the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, living allows you to see your friends care about you and miss you, living allows you to slowly find what you want to do. Isn't that good enough?"
Fang Yingdi: "What's good about living? Seeing bad people run rampant, seeing good people go unrewarded, seeing people have nothing to do with each other except for self-interest, feeling the cold wind of winter and the scorching heat of summer, new shoes getting soaked by the rain, never getting what you want, not knowing what to do, friends leaving, lovers not being able to find, parents wanting you dead, brothers trying to steal my money, what's good about that?"
Jiang Wenhua looked up. There really wasn't much to say to someone trapped in a vortex of negative energy. Saying more to her would make her feel even worse. The peaceful mood she'd just had today was suddenly ruined, along with her time alone. Jiang Wenhua began to feel tired again.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly grabbed back his clothes and said, "Then go get some fresh air. If you feel like life is boring, just jump into the river and become a fish again. You can swim anyway. If you want to die, die. If you don't want to die, go back to the dormitory. It's really annoying to talk to you."
He wasn't some life mentor, so why was he here to accept her complaints? It wasn't his problem, and he wasn't Fang Yingdi's good friend. Jiang Wenhua felt that Fang Yingdi was just a confused person who couldn't figure things out, and it was only natural for confused people to suffer a little. It had nothing to do with him, and he wasn't going to rush her.
Fang Yingdi's clothes were taken away, and the wind blew away her body and soul, which had just begun to warm up, and she felt colder than her body. She felt that a man should not say such cold words to a lifeless comrade like her at this time.
She had never thought that Jiang Wenhua would be such a person who would not help someone in need. Her sad heart suddenly turned into anger. She felt that if even an acquaintance was unwilling to communicate with her, she must be a very disgusting person who made people feel uncomfortable and unwilling to make close friends.
Fang Yingdi was very frustrated.
When some people feel frustrated, they will want to hide away quietly, wait until they have calmed down, and then live a good life; some people may just give up, and either die or accept that they are the way they are; but Fang Yingdi is different. She almost died just now, but after she regretted it, her mind changed. She thought that she had to take her parents with her before she died.
So, facing Jiang Wenhua's unkind attitude, Fang Yingdi went from being sad, depressed and angry to unwilling to accept it. She refused to accept it today and Jiang Wenhua had to lend her his clothes.
"If you leave today, I won't give you the money. I'm very cold now. Please continue to lend me your clothes."
Jiang Wenhua opened his eyes wide. This was the first time he met someone more shameless than him. That was his hard work fee and his lifeblood. How could this damn woman dare to threaten him like this? Is she still a human being?
"Why don't you give it to me? If you don't give it to me, and your parents come looking for you again, I will definitely not help you. You have to think it over carefully." Jiang Wenhua immediately fought back. He didn't care what Fang Yingdi's mood was now. She could threaten him, so it seemed that she would not die again.
Fang Yingdi: "Come find me. If I can't live anymore, I'll take them with me. Then you still won't get the money. My two months' salary is quite a lot. Do you really not want it?"
Jiang Wenhua bared his teeth, extremely angry, but he could do nothing about her. After turning around twice, he threw the wet coat on her head again, "Wear it, wear it, wear it, wear it until you die. You want to wear men's clothes, you... you have no shame!"
Fang Yingdi retorted, "A clean-cut man casually threw clothes at a lesbian like me. Who has no shame?"
Jiang Wenhua was bewildered. He had never seen a female comrade turn the tables like this. He just meant well. He really did mean well.
Sure enough, some stories are true, such as the farmer and the snake. In Jiang Wenhua's eyes, Fang Yingdi is now the big bad snake.
"If you have the guts, just don't wear it. I'll freeze you to death!" He walked home angrily and never came to the river again, never again!
