The man looked to be about twenty years old, an age when he should be full of vigor and ambition, but he looked as if he was about to jump off the building at any moment. Su Yang originally didn't want to get involved, but recalling that he had almost not noticed the man earlier, he decided to walk over anyway.
Soon, the man also noticed Su Yang's presence.
He looked haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, there were many cigarette butts on the rooftop, his hair was messy, and his clothes were relatively formal, but he sat there hunched over, and all traces of his former elegance had vanished.
