The supermarket was so quiet that a needle could be heard, occasionally Xiaolong's ravings could be heard, but there was no other movement.

Ding, the computer beeps the hour, the sound is not loud, but in such a late night, it is enough to wake up all sleeping creatures.

The body of the long-haired woman visibly trembled. She finally reached out to the counter as if waking up from a dream, and took out one of the buckets of instant noodles. Put the food on the table sullenly.

Su Chi settled the bill for her, speaking concisely, "Guest, three yuan and five."

The long-haired woman nodded, but did not move for a while.

Su Chi didn't urge her either.

"I don't have money." The woman finally spoke, her voice was hoarse, as weak as hers, "I'm sorry, I don't have money, but I'm very hungry."

Su Chi thought for a while, took out the change from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "There is hot water over there, you can go soak there."

"Thank you." The long-haired woman nodded, walked to the corner of the supermarket with instant noodles in her hands, took hot water and sprinkled seasoning packets, and waited for the noodles to be cooked.

The lights from the supermarket shone on the woman, illuminating her lonely back. Su Zhi glanced at her, lowered his head and put the money into the cash register.

Behind the glass window of the convenience store along the street is a long row of board tables and high stools. The long-haired woman sat on one of the stools and waited quietly for 5 minutes before she lifted the lid and started eating. Instant noodles.

The entire convenience store was filled with the powerful aroma of instant noodles. Su Chi sniffed and frowned slightly. She turned her head to look at Xiaolong lying on the bench, squeezed a paper ball in her hand, and threw it at her head quietly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Long turned around at this moment, the ball of paper fell into the air, bouncing from the chair and falling to the ground.

Su Chi was speechless, and no longer planned to wake up this heartless person.

A woman is very careful when eating instant noodles. Even if the soup splashes a little, she has to wipe the table carefully with a paper towel. She drank all the soup in the bottom of the noodles, then licked her lips, and squeezed the plastic bowl. After throwing it into the trash can, even when I left, I didn't forget to straighten the chair I was sitting on, so I stood up and walked towards the door of the store.

Su Chi sees everything in his eyes - it seems that this is a well-educated person who tries not to cause trouble to others.

When passing by the cash register, the long-haired woman asked in a muffled voice, "How do I go up to the roof of this building?"

Su Chi was puzzled, and replied, "I don't know."

"Oh, thank you for your face." The long-haired woman walked out, then suddenly took another step back, looking straight at Su Chi with her pale face, "Thank you for making me a full ghost."

Su Chi was stunned for a moment, and then realized the meaning of the woman's words.

When the woman opened the door and walked out, she seemed to be attracted by the wind chimes on the door. She stood under the door and raised her neck to look up. A faint smile appeared on her pale face, but this smile only lasted for a short time. In just a few seconds, she immediately lowered her lifeless head, dragged her two thin legs, and left the convenience store.

Su Chi glanced at the ignorant sky outside the glass door, and then at the time on the surveillance video. The weird woman outside the store had already turned into the entrance of the building next door, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Su Chi thought for a while, locked the cash register, and turned to wake up Xiaolong, who knew that just as she turned around, Xiaolong's white head had already stretched out in front of her, and in the next second, she was caught by this sleeping man The girl who woke up hugged her tightly.

"It's so scary, Su Chi, I'm so scared!" Xiaolong hugged Su Chi tightly, and his voice was so tight and high-pitched that it hurt Su Chi's eardrums.

Su Chi leaned back, pushed Xiaolong's face away with his arms, and asked coldly, "How long have you been awake?"

Xiao Cage replied with a mournful face, "I just woke up."

Su Chi said: "If you are afraid..."

She thought Xiao Long was pretending to be asleep because she was afraid, but she didn't want Xiao Long to turn her head immediately, sweeping away her timidity before, and smiled with a face of successful mischief: "She's just a human being, why should I be afraid?"

Su Chi stared at Xiaolong with a serious expression, and didn't speak for a while.

Xiaolong scratched the back of his head and asked cautiously: "Are you angry? I was joking with you, but I'm actually not scared at all!"

Su Chi asked calmly, "How do you know she's human?"

Ordinary people encounter such a thing in the middle of the night, how many can be as calm as her?

Xiao Long didn't answer but asked instead, as cunning as a thousand-year-old fox, "Don't you know that too?"

Su Chi suddenly had nothing to say.

It should be said that when ordinary people encounter such a thing in the middle of the night, few of them can be as calm as the two of them.

"Don't you want to chase her?" Xiao Cage knocked on the table, with an expression of staying out of the way, but kindly reminded: "If you don't chase her back now, maybe you will really become a demon."

"If she really wanted to die, she wouldn't have given me a chance to stop her." Interrupted by Xiao Long who suddenly woke up, Su Chi almost forgot her intention to lock the cash register. Although her words were indifferent, she still pulled out the key Hastily ran to the door.

"What's there to complain about? This is the price you paid for visiting the store in the middle of the night." Xiaolong smiled and said sarcastic remarks, but did not forget to follow Su Chi closely, and ran out with her.

The two of them chased out of the supermarket and ran into the entrance of the building one after another. The guard room on duty was snoring loudly. Su Chi turned into the stairwell. One of the three elevators on the ground floor had already ascended to the fifth floor. Su Chi and Xiao Long hurried in. Another elevator directly pressed to the top floor.

The elevator arrived at the top floor very quickly, and the elevator next door naturally arrived earlier than them. Without thinking about it, Su Chi turned around and ran into the stairwell, thumping up the dark and narrow corridor.

But don't die.

The small door leading to the roof of the building has been opened, Su Chi ran out, and found the down-and-out woman in the red dress on the roof of the building where the sky was getting brighter.

One of the woman's legs was already resting on the stone railing of the roof. When she heard the movement behind her, she immediately turned her head.

"Hey!" Xiaolong, who was hit by the back of Su Chi's head on the bridge of his nose after catching up, held his nose and called anxiously, "Don't commit suicide!"

The woman didn't seem very surprised by the appearance of Su Chi and Xiao Long. Although she looked desperate, when her eyes covered by the messy long hair looked at them, she secretly revealed that the dying person caught the help. Straw hopes.

Su Chi only felt a dull pain in both temples, she pulled Xiaolong over, grabbed her wrist, and said in a low voice, "Quickly persuade her."

"Eh? Me?" Although Xiaolong didn't understand why this hot potato suddenly fell into his hands, he still calmed down and persuaded him, "Get down from the stone railing, let's have a good talk. The two of us have already caught up This is above, if you still jump down, even if this matter is completely irrelevant to us, we can't get rid of it."

Although the woman was so desperate that she wanted to commit suicide, she was still unwilling to let it go, Xiao Cage firmly grasped this point, and patiently persuaded: "You will tell us this, don't you just hope that someone can stop you? Now as you wish, I’m here to persuade you, come down quickly.” Thinking of the convenience store that was too late to close, Xiao Long frowned with a worried expression, “Miss, our store is still open, if someone from Liang Shang takes the opportunity to visit, Our store manager will definitely not let me go, shall we make it quick?"

What Xiao Cage said was nothing like kind words to comfort the dying. He seemed to only think about himself from the beginning to the end, but these two words had an effect on the woman. The woman climbed down the rock on both hands and feet Standing on the top floor, without forgetting to smooth her skirt, she said to Su Chi and Xiaolong, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

Su Chi looked at Xiaolong.

She used to think that Xiao Long was just an ordinary young man who liked to dress up strangely and treat others with excessive enthusiasm, but tonight, while pretending to be asleep, she still observed every move of the woman in the red dress, and at the critical moment, she took a slanted sword, seemingly casual, but in fact hit the target A red heart, a few words and a few words moved a desperate person who had death thoughts in his heart.

Su Chi took a step back to the side, avoiding the cage.

Whoever this person was, she didn't want to cause trouble.

Xiao Long didn't notice Su Chi's movements, she asked the woman curiously: "You don't want to trouble others, why do you want to kill yourself? Do you know how many people will trouble you tomorrow morning if you jump like this? "

The woman vented the pain she had accumulated all night, "I was away on a business trip. I wanted to give my husband a surprise, so I worked so hard that I could finally come back early tonight. I came home in the middle of the night, but saw an unsightly picture! The most disturbing thing for me What is unacceptable is that when my husband faced the fact of his cheating, his first reaction was not to apologize to me, but to question why I came back early! I was so angry that I ran out."

"So you thought about committing suicide?" Xiao Long couldn't understand, "Why didn't you ask your relatives and friends for help? Or just go up and beat your husband up?"

The woman said sadly: "This is the pain in my own marriage. The person who should have shared this pain with me can't feel the pain. This is the most painful thing."

Xiao Long nodded, and thoughtfully agreed: "Pain itself is just pain, but if pain happens to others, it becomes a joke to satisfy others' curiosity, and in exchange not only tears of sympathy, but also Secretly raised eyebrows and concealed contempt."

The woman was devastated, "I don't know who else I should trust, everything I've worked so hard for makes me feel hopeless, and I want him to feel hopeless too. I know it's not the best choice, but I don't want to There is another way out."

Xiaolong had just recognized the woman's pain, but now she didn't know what to say. She stretched her hand to the side, wanting to touch Su Zhi and let her answer, but the increasing distance between the two made her hand drop Sora, she looked to the side in puzzlement.

Su Chi said immediately: "You also understand that your impulse dominates your judgment, so before you die, you still hope that we can save you."

Xiaolong was obviously dissatisfied with the distance between them, she kept moving towards Su Chi like a crab.

But as soon as she moved, Su Chi also moved to the side to avoid it, and at the same time persuaded the woman, "Death is the easiest thing, no one can stop you, jump down, bang, your life will be The fruit that was dropped by the rain before it bears fruit will rot before it is ripe, and you will get nothing but attracting bugs and ants." She paused for a moment, and then said: "If you think that man is worth your life, why don't you give it to him? A second chance for him? Why would you pay your life for him if you find out that it won't help? Why don't you just get divorced and be your free man, take a shower, change clothes, put on makeup, take your time Live your own life."

It was the first time for Xiaolong to hear Su Chi finish speaking so many words in one breath, and regardless of her avoidance, she just turned her face and looked at the woman with a plausible smile.

Su Chi has been looking after the convenience supermarket late at night alone. After her shift in the morning, she returns to the apartment to rest quietly. She doesn't often communicate with people, let alone comfort others. She has no negotiation skills, but gives people a kind of straightforward Frank and open-minded.

Although a woman has the idea of ​​committing suicide, the idea of ​​living is more persistent in her heart. Many people like her only want the affirmation of "living is better than dying" from others.

And Su Chi did exactly that.

The woman walked back from the side of the stone railing, and when she reached Su Chi's side, she lowered her head in shame, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble."

"She only came to stop you to avoid bigger troubles in the future." Xiao Long asked with a smile, "Do you wear this outfit when you come home from a business trip?"

"Well, he likes red, so I picked a dress he likes and wore it back to meet him." The woman turned her face slightly, with her long hair hidden, her face had the pure beauty of a weak girl.

"Since it's all right, let's go down." Su Chi turned around and went straight to the stairs.

Wearing a red dress to jump off the building, before dying, he ate the instant noodles given by Su Chi for free, and the time of death was chosen when Su Chi was on duty - if this resentful woman succeeds in jumping off the building, Su Chi would be able to think with her toes that she would meet in the future Yes, what a difficult character.

Xiao Long smiled and took the woman's hand, leading her downstairs together.

The three of them took the elevator back to the ground floor of the building. Xiaolong let go of the woman's hand and ran all the way back to the supermarket. Before she could open the glass door, she wailed, "My God!"

Inside the glass door, the two rows of shelves near the street in the convenience store were in a mess as if they had been hit by a tornado.

The woman who attempted suicide rushed over and said in surprise, "Who did it? Call the police!"

Su Chi pushed the door in with a gloomy face, "I know which brat did it."
