Chapter 147: He is 23 years old and wants to die (Part 1)
After a symposium lasting over an hour, we took a car tour around the resort and reviewed the script for tomorrow's filming. That was the end of today's mission.
In the evening, everyone had a meal together, and Jiang Ningyue stayed in a star-rated hotel in the seaside resort - which was also a hotel owned by Lin Chenxi.
The beachfront resort has officially opened, but due to its low visibility, it's rarely visited. If Jiang Ningyue's promotional efforts aren't effective, those companies might have to invest heavily in further promotion.
Jiang Ningyue entered the room and had just put down her suitcase and was about to change into pajamas and take a shower when the doorbell rang.
It was Lin Chenxi. She smiled and waved at Jiang Ningyue, "Are you busy tonight?"
"It's okay."
Jiang Ningyue was puzzled. "It's already eight o'clock. It's time to wash up and go to bed."
"Are you an elderly person?"
Lin Chenxi said boastfully, "I won't go to bed until 12 o'clock."
"I can't compare to you."
Jiang Ningyue yawned, "I'm going to sleep."
"No."
Lin Chenxi pulled Jiang Ningyue's arm and said, "Let's go for a stroll on the beach."
"Okay."
Jiang Ningyue nodded, and the two of them took the elevator downstairs. When Lin Chenxi was about to leave, two young men in suits and ties followed him. Lin Chenxi casually introduced them as bodyguards, "Just pretend they don't exist."
"oh."
In fact, the hotel where Lin Chenxi lives has a private beach, but she didn’t want to go there, so she took Jiang Ningyue to the beach in a nearby park.
There was no one on the beach, only the sound of waves crashing on the sand. The quiet moon shone on the beach and the sea, creating shimmering ripples.
Lin Chenxi pointed to the sea in the distance and said, "Look, blue tears!"
The sea disappeared in a blue glow, as if a sea of stars were falling.
Jiang Ningyue squatted on the beach, looking at the vast expanse of blue crystals, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really beautiful."
"Plop—Gululu—"
A strange sound was heard, as if someone had fallen into the water. The two immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw only a person floating in the sea more than ten meters away.
"Oh! Someone fell into the sea!" Lin Chenxi was startled and shouted, "You two, hurry up and save them!"
【The hidden camera is turned on. 】
The two bodyguards in suits and leather shoes didn't waste any time. They took off their shoes, jumped into the water in three or two steps, and swam madly towards the sea. Not long after, they pulled a young man to the shore.
After a brief treatment, the man regained consciousness. He struggled to his feet and bowed to the few people, saying:
"I'm sorry to trouble you."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"etc."
Jiang Ningyue spoke up to stop him.
The young man's attire clearly didn't look like he was here for tourism. After being rescued, he didn't subconsciously look for his phone or other valuables, but instead turned around and left with a normal expression.
It is very likely that this person committed suicide!
The young man turned around, looked up at Jiang Ningyue, and was stunned. He muttered, "Jiang Ningyue?"
"I'm Jiang Ningyue."
Jiang Ningyue's expression was calm, and she tried to keep her voice gentle. "Have you encountered any difficulties? Why did you come here so late at night?"
“…”
The young man fell silent. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Jiang Ningyue again.
Lin Chenxi couldn't help herself. She slapped the young man's arm and said, "Are you still a man? Why are you so hesitant?! Daniel, go to the hotel and get a few cans of beer and some food. Let's go to the park next door and eat and talk."
"I'd better not cause you any more trouble."
The young man was a little overwhelmed and wanted to escape. "I'm fine. I'm leaving."
"Don't leave!"
Lin Chenxi grabbed his arm and said, "We just saved your life. Can't we even have a meal with you?"
The boy didn't dare to struggle and could only be pulled away by Lin Chenxi.
Arriving at the park, Jiang Ningyue finally saw the young man's face clearly under the park's streetlights. He looked to be about twenty-three or twenty-four, about the same age as Jiang Ningyue, but he had an unshaven beard and his eyes were filled with numbness and fatigue.
What kind of thing could make this young man commit suicide by going to the beach?
Jiang Ningyue looked at the man and said with a smile, "You just called out my name, but I don't even know yours."
Lin Chenxi smiled and said, "Yes! My name is Lin Chenxi, Shuangmu Lin, and the morning sunshine."
The man lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds. "My name is Li Cheng."
Jiang: "Where are you from? Local?"
Li Cheng shook his head. "I'm from Hubei Province. I came to Haizhou to work. I've been here for almost two years."
"What happened to you?" Lin Chenxi was curious.
Li Cheng lowered his head and didn't want to talk.
At this time, the bodyguard came with a bunch of beer and snacks, and added: "Mr. Lin, the hot dishes are still being prepared. I'll go get them later."
"good."
Lin Chenxi nodded, and a can of beer was stuffed into one of their hands. "Can I drink?"
Li Cheng nodded, pulled the ring, tilted his head back and drank the whole can of beer in one breath.
Lin Chenxi was shocked. "There's no need to drink so hastily."
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Have you watched my show or listened to my songs?"
“Both.”
Li Cheng obviously preferred to talk to Jiang Ningyue, but he didn't dare look at her, so he kept his head down. "I really like your songs, especially 'Under the Sea.' So, when I heard that song, it reminded me that I've lived in Haizhou for so long and never even seen the sea. So, I came here to see the sea."
"And then you wanted to commit suicide?"
Jiang Ningyue was stunned. "Is my song that harmful? I guess I have to take it off the shelves."
"no."
Li Cheng quickly said, "It has nothing to do with your song. It's my own problem."
"What's your problem?"
Jiang Ningyue asked tentatively.
Li Cheng still didn't want to say anything, so he opened another can of beer and gulped down most of it.
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Where are your family members?"
"My mom ran away when I was 15."
Li Cheng smiled bitterly, "My father died when I was 21."
"Why?"
"Moyamoya disease."
Li Cheng raised his head, his eyes filled with sadness.
Simply put, moyamoya disease is a disease in which the blood vessels in the brain are narrowed and blocked, resulting in a "smoke"-like appearance in images.
Essentially, it's considered an incurable "terminal illness." With current medical science, early detection and intervention are all we can do. With medical intervention, we can extend lifespan as much as possible.
Jiang Ningyue comforted him, "The dead are gone, and the living are like this. As a living person, you must work hard to live your life so as not to disappoint those who are watching over you in heaven."
Li Cheng said calmly: "Last year, I was also diagnosed with moyamoya disease."
Jiang Ningyue and Lin Chenxi looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
