The teaching building where the senior students are located has sixteen floors and is equipped with an elevator.
But it's currently recess time, and there are a lot of people going up and down the stairs.
Shi Xi's classroom was on the fifth floor, and the elevator stopped on each floor one by one, so it was too late to get to the rooftop.
Shi Xi, Han Yan, and Qin Xue hurriedly ran from the stairs to the rooftop.
They were tireless and only wanted to get to Zhou Jin's side as quickly as possible.
When they reached the ninth floor, Shi Xi clutched her heart and said, "You guys go first, don't worry about me."
"Be careful." Qin Xue and Han Yan continued running uphill.
Shi Xi forgot that this wasn't her original healthy body. This body suffered from heart disease and couldn't engage in strenuous exercise.
My heart aches intermittently.
My vision is going black, my hands and feet are freezing, and I'm about to give up.
No, she had to stop Zhou Jin.
He will soon be able to clear his name; he cannot afford to have anything happen to him now.
Remembering Zhou Jin's ending in the book, Shi Xi committed suicide by jumping off a building.
In the book, Zhou Jin is just a minor character. The author doesn't spend much time writing about him.
Therefore, Shi Xicai did not recall what Zhou Jin was like in the book.
Shi Xi held onto the guardrail with both hands and walked step by step.
The police have arrived downstairs and are inflating an air cushion.
Zhou Jin's parents are on their way.
It was too late; the police's air cushion hadn't inflated yet, and he was probably about to jump.
Shi Xi took a deep breath, kept taking deep breaths, and kept running towards the rooftop.

Zhou Jin thought his heart was unbreakable, but when that matter was brought up, he was still hurt.
He never imagined that after such a terrible thing happened, there would still be people who unconditionally believed him. Even his parents didn't believe him.
Their belief brought a sliver of solace to his wounded heart.
When he saw Hua Rui again today, the insults from his classmates, the reprimands from his teachers, and the heartbreak from his parents last year came to mind, slowly eroding his spirit.
He used to be the "other people's child" in other parents' eyes, the good student in teachers' eyes, and the outstanding student who always ranked first in exams. He liked Hua Rui.
When school started, Hua Rui was gentle, kind, and had good grades. He often discussed problems with her.
Gradually, he discovered that Hua Rui was not the person he knew. She was selfish, greedy for fame and fortune, and liked to play the victim.
The day before the incident, she came to him and said, "Zhou Jin, could you do a little worse on the next monthly exam?"
"Why?"
"I want to be number one. You always get first place, so I can only get second. If you score a few points less, I can get first place."
He couldn't believe she would have such a strange idea. "Hua Rui, if you study hard, you'll definitely beat me. Intentionally scoring a few points lower is disrespectful to you."
"You'll regret this," she said fiercely, storming out of the classroom in a rage.
Unexpectedly, the next day, she called him to the classroom early, then tore her clothes, saying, "I told you you'd regret it." Then she screamed, "Help! Someone's raping me!"
She ran out of the classroom, sobbing. Even if she had framed him, he didn't want her to run out like that, disheveled. So he tried to stop her, and as they struggled, two classmates appeared in the classroom, looking at him in horror and shouting, "Pervert! Catch the pervert!"
Soon, the school's security guards, students, and teachers all appeared.
He will never forget the look of disgust and contempt they gave him.
He looked down at the busy police officers, the panicked students, the worried school leaders, and the sighing teachers...
Jump down, and you'll never hear those hurtful words again.
Zhou Jin walked to the edge of the rooftop, spread his arms, and jumped down.
"Ah—" A deafening scream came from downstairs.
