“……”

Chen Yuan didn't quite understand this scene.

What the hell?

Taking days off school to prepare for death?

Why?

She's already the Saintess of Liberal Arts, does she still have such thoughts?

Could it be because of family changes as well?

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt a little nervous.

So, he continued to fill in the blanks, focusing on where Li Wei was.

Sure enough, the same scene appeared again.

She was still standing by the river, motionless.

Is this scene real-time?

Could it be that by the time he gets there, she's already gone?

Thinking positively, Li Wei might be...

Cosplaying Qu Yuan?

Those who laughed will go to hell.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan turned back to the playground and went to 47.

"Yo, Chen Yuan!"

When 47 saw Chen Yuan, he threw the ball to him, signaling him to take a shot.

Chen Yuan didn't think much, didn't even jump, critically activated his superpower, and shot a super long three-pointer.

Then, it went straight into the net.

Swish.

"..." Cheng Haiying, who had practiced basketball for a while and knew how difficult it was to shoot, was stunned and applauded in recognition.

"Still as sharp as ever, Chen Yuan." Picking up the ball, 47 said with a smile, "I feel like you could go play in the CBA."

"You're exaggerating."

He's already surpassed the CBA.

With his superpower, with a little training, he could go to America and dribble with the black guys.

"Were you filming a promotional video just now?" Cheng Haiying asked.

"Yeah." Chen Yuan nodded and asked, "Did the school look for you, and you refused because you knew about me?"

"…Ah?" 47 was stunned and surprised, "I didn't expect you two to have such a bad relationship."

"It's not bad, it's…"

Cheng Haiying felt that simply denying it wasn't enough, so she gave an example, "You and Chen Yuan both have partners, what would you do if the school asked you two to film it?"

After Cheng Haiying finished speaking, the two turned their faces to the side at the same time and laughed.

Then, they turned back.

The two stretched out their hands, palm to palm, then back to back, then fist to lower fist, lower fist to upper fist, and finally face to face, performing a set of black-bro fist bump gestures with extreme tacit understanding.

"..." Cheng Haiying, "The bond between you two is deeper than I thought."

"It's rare to be on camera, and it's an opportunity to keep a video, you shouldn't give it up." 47 said, "If it were me, I would definitely be happy to."

"I didn't expect Chen Yuan to not mind... otherwise, I wouldn't have refused." Cheng Haiying said.

"I thought you looked down on me."

"That's really not the case." Cheng Haiying responded seriously, "It's purely because I thought you already have a girlfriend, it's not appropriate."

What a steady person.

Did she play top lane in the LPL?

"I know, just kidding." Chen Yuan smiled and returned to the topic, "By the way, what's your relationship with Li Wei like?"

"Not bad." 47 said.

"Pretty good." Cheng Haiying also said.

"She hasn't been around for the past few days, and I still have one shot left for the promotional video, so I want to know what's wrong." Chen Yuan also explained in advance.

Knowing a little about the situation, Cheng Haiying said, "I heard that her grandmother passed away."

Grandmother passed away?

That is indeed important and requires taking leave.

But it shouldn't take this long.

And would she be heartbroken because her grandmother passed away?

Unless, she only had her grandmother left.

"Is there any other reason?" Chen Yuan asked again.

"I don't know." Cheng Haiying said.

"Okay, then I know, you guys play, I'm going home."

"Okay, bye-bye."

"Let's play ball together when you have time~"

In this way, Chen Yuan said goodbye to Cheng Haiying and 47.

Leaving the school, sitting in the car, thinking about the scene in his mind, he felt very complicated.

Ignoring it is not an option.

But if he goes there and sees a corpse, he will have a lifetime of trauma.

She shouldn't have jumped yet, right?

Thinking this way, Chen Yuan recalled her face in his mind, preparing to use his skill to find her.

However, unfortunately, he only saw it a few times, and besides, her appearance wasn't as impressive as Tang Siwen and Xia Xinyu, so he couldn't remember it at a glance.

Target, lost…

Hopefully, she won't jump so decisively.

Also, isn't that place…

After getting off the bus, Chen Yuan took a taxi and went to the river beach where he and Xinyu had seen fireflies before.

Going down the slope from the road, Chen Yuan saw a girl standing on the river beach, only one step away from the river!

So, he slowly approached…

Standing on the shore, Li Wei looked at the lonely and desolate river surface, sighed, and couldn't help but feel sad.

People have birth, old age, sickness, and death, which she can accept.

But she didn't expect her grandmother to pass away in her sixties.

Why can other people's grandmothers live to be seventy or eighty?

Thinking of that old but kind face, her nose soured and her eyes teared up.

Grandma is gone, what should I do alone…

She couldn't think of what she could do.

Her mind was in chaos.

Like a lone boat on the river, it looks so fragile and can't withstand any destruction.

There is a text in the compulsory five of high school Chinese, called Chen Qing Biao (Memorial to Prince Jin).

When they learned this article, everyone didn't feel anything.

And because it was not a must-recite piece, the teacher did not focus on it.

But every time she read it, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Especially that sentence, "I cannot be who I am today without my grandmother."

Her fate is somewhat similar to that of Li Mi, the protagonist in the article.

When she was in the fourth grade of elementary school, her father gambled and owed a lot of money, and the house was mortgaged. Her mother abandoned the family and ran away with someone else.

In order to go to school, her grandmother took her to rent a small house in the suburbs, where she picked up trash while supporting her to study.

Until she was in the second year of high school.

Then last week, her grandmother passed away.

In this world, she is the only one left.

Her father is still alive, but he works in another place, and he is the type who works for a while, rests for a while, drinks his salary, buys a little lottery ticket, and then continues to work when he has no money, a 'Sanhe Great God'.

This time, when her grandmother passed away, he came back for a few days, not only did he not say anything about her own support, but also took away the 20,000 yuan on her grandmother's deposit book.

A relative did say that they could raise her and said that they would strongly support her studies, but the condition was that the bonus for being admitted to Huaqing Jida University would be given to them.

Li Wei found it a little funny.

Or rather, she was mocking the stupidity of human nature.

Not to mention whether she can be admitted to Huaqing Jida University, and how much the Xia Hai government will reward, and how much the bonus will be, these are all unknown.

If you really want money.

The best way is to come up gently, pat her shoulder gently and tell her softly when she hugs her grandmother's coffin and is reluctant to cremate her: "Weiwei, we are still here, you will follow us in the future and treat us like your parents."

In that scene, just these words would make her try her best to repay her.

She thought, no matter what, it would definitely be more generous than a mere bonus.

Perhaps, it is not that human nature is too stupid.

But they are also considering the benefits.

Then, he proposed such a transaction.

Anyway, you can't live without your grandmother, we will support you until the college entrance examination, and then you will pay us back.

It looks like a win-win situation.

But…

Why do I hate you so much?

Grandma, I miss you so much.

Li Wei thought of that face and was about to cry again.

The oncoming wind blew her moist eyes with a pain, so she had to turn around.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came from behind: "Don't jump!"

The ‘don’t jump’ that hit the soul made Li Wei's heart tighten and her feet slipped.

With a slip, both feet slipped directly into the river…

Accompanied by a thud.

She quickly grabbed the water plants on the shore and struggled desperately.

Thank goodness I was here, otherwise this guy would have jumped into the river one second later!

Chen Yuan felt fortunate for his decision.

But running to the shore, he suddenly realized that something was wrong…

"Save me! I can't swim!!!"

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

"Save me! I don't want to die!"

No…

You don't want to die, why are you jumping into the river?

Or is it…

You don't want to jump into the river at all?

Just now fell into the water, because…

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan immediately put on his mask, then stretched out his hand, grabbed Li Wei's hand, and pulled her from the river to the shore with force.

After experiencing the gate of hell, Li Wei sat paralyzed on the ground, hugging her shoulders with both hands, shivering, and murmured in fear: "Almost... almost died."

It's over.

Definitely didn't want to jump into the river!

No, can't you find a spot that doesn't make people think otherwise when you're just enjoying the view!

"You, are you okay?" Chen Yuan lowered his head and asked cautiously.

Looking up at the boy in front of him, Li Wei shook her head.

"It's good that you're okay…" Chen Yuan scratched his neck and asked awkwardly, "No matter how you can't think straight, you can't jump…"

"I was scared into the water by you."

Li Wei corrected seriously.

Chen Yuan: "…"

I know I know.

But you fell into the water once, and I saved you once, so the merits and demerits are offset, isn't that the end?

I pitted you once, and helped you gank back, can't I avoid being scolded?

"I... I thought you were going to jump into the river, so I shouted." Chen Yuan explained apologetically.

I am really sorry!

"I can see that…"

Li Wei slowly stood up, looked at most of her body that was soaked, and felt a bone-chilling cold under the blowing of the river wind.

"If you're okay... can I go?"

Chen Yuan wanted to run.

Otherwise what?

Wait to be scolded?

"You can go, it's okay."

Thinking that the other party was also out of good intentions, Li Wei didn't care too much. Then, looking at the boy who was wearing a mask and covering his face tightly, preparing to leave, she asked in confusion: "But Chen Yuan, what are you doing here?"

"…"

Chen Yuan, stunned in place, was stunned on the spot.

Who the hell is Chen Yuan, I am Xu Chen!
