Chapter 25 The woman who jumped off the building

After finishing what she wanted to ask, Zhu Shan had no intention of staying any longer.

After packing their things, the two prepared to return to Yuhe city.

Because it was Saturday, there were cars going up the mountain for fun, and the road down the mountain became extremely smooth.

On the winding mountain road, Zhu Shan began to feel uncomfortable because she had just eaten so much.

She leaned against the window, her lips pursed into a thin line and her brows knotted.

Ling Xiao noticed her ugly face and asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

"A little motion sick, it's okay."

"I thought you ate too much."

Zhu Shan closed her eyes, looking unhappy.

Ling Xiao looked at the navigation and said calmly, "We will reach the foot of the mountain in ten minutes. It will be better after we get on the highway."

Zhu Shan's eyebrows moved, and her little hands unconsciously grabbed the hem of her clothes.

Is this appeasement?

should be.

Although she didn't open her eyes, she still said "Hmm" with red ears.

In the past, when Zhu Shan saw Ling Xiao, she would automatically put devil horns on his head. She felt that everything he did and said made her resist.

She was obedient and submissive because of his oppression.

But everything changed after she discovered that Ling Xiao had a crush on her.

Those words that once disgusted her always took a detour and turned into a road called 'care'.

In addition, she also discovered that Ling Xiao could actually be labeled as 'considerate' and 'careful'.

With less resistance to him, Zhu Shan would sometimes think carefully about what Ling Xiao had taught her, and even felt that what he said made sense.

Then, Zhu Shan clearly realized a fact.

That is, if Ling Xiao has not changed, it is because she has always been biased against him, and that is why she has a wrong understanding of what he has done.

She is narrow-minded.

She was sorry for him.

I felt a little more guilty in my heart.

****

Soon after arriving at the foot of the mountain, Ling Xiao parked the car on the side of the road.

He took the rented down jacket to the service desk at the mountain entry point to return it.

Zhu Shan pressed the window and breathed in the air at the foot of the mountain.

There were some retail merchants selling fruits and souvenirs on the roadside, and the road up the mountain was blocked.

Suddenly a flyer was handed through the car window. Zhu Shan glanced at it and stuffed it beside the car door.

After waiting for a while, Ling Xiao got in the car, holding a basket of mulberries in his hand.

Zhu Shan took it and put it on her lap, salivating, "You can't eat it without washing it, right?"

Ling Xiao was amused by her greedy look, "Wash it."

The corners of Zhu Shan's mouth turned up, and she stretched out her little paw towards Mulberry, "Then I'm welcome."

"Public restrooms are used for washing. Eat as much as you like."

Zhu Shan rolled her eyes and said in her heart: Tsundere.

The mulberries are large, full of water, sweet and slightly sour, which completely suppresses the discomfort in the stomach.

Zhu Shan felt better. She looked at the many cars going in the opposite direction and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you ask me what I was doing?"

Not here to have fun, nor to chase stars.

Aren't you curious at all?

Ling Xiao glanced at Zhu Shan, "Not interested."

Zhu Shan felt that what he said was equivalent to saying that she was simply a person with no serious business.

Then he curled his lips and said, "My affairs are naturally not in the eyes of Barrister Ling."

Be quiet for two seconds.

Ling Xiao's joking tone came from inside the car, "Really? Then come and let me hear it."

"...I don't want to talk anymore."

"Shanshan, I feel like you are fishing."

"What?"

Ling Xiao shook his head with a smile and said no more.

Zhu Shan looked away, grabbed a few more mulberries and put them into her mouth. One of them happened to be so sour that she arched her body and trembled slightly.

Then she heard Ling Xiao chuckle slightly.

In the past, Zhu Shan would have thought that Ling Xiao was laughing at her, but now, she actually felt that Ling Xiao thought she was cute?

After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As the old saying goes, you never lie.

Thinking about it this way, Zhu Shan felt that even Ling Xiao's salty "not interested" just now seemed to be a thoughtful sign that he didn't want to pry into her privacy.

Zhu Shan felt a magical power welling up in her heart again, and quickly found a topic, "By the way, Ling Xiao, I'm going back to SJP next month, so let me tell you in advance."

"Um?"

"I'll go back to handle graduation matters and I'll be back in about a week."

After a few seconds, Ling Xiao softly said "hmm".

The car became silent again, with only the sound of Zhu Shan's greedy words remaining.

The vehicle passed the station last night, and in the distance were large expanses of reed fields, with sword-like leaves that were half green and half yellow, swaying gently.

The midday sun dazzled the eyes, but also showed its unlimited energy, and then illuminated Zhu Shan's cheeks until they were almost transparent and white.

The speed of the car gradually slowed down, and we queued up to enter the expressway.

Zhu Shan suddenly heard Ling Xiao laugh.

She turned her head and fluttered her eyelashes, "What's wrong with you?"

Ling Xiao still had a smile on his face, covered his mouth with his long fingers, and shook his head, "It's okay."

Something was clearly wrong.

Under Zhu Shan's gaze, Ling Xiao calmed down and said calmly, "Praise you for knowing where to say hello in advance."

"..." Why are you saying such flirting words again?

Zhu Shan looked at the few mulberries left in the small basket and handed them over, "Do you want to eat them?"

"If you like to eat, eat more."

"..." Flirting again?

Zhu Shan pursed her lips and put Kong Lanzi at her feet, "I'll take a nap."

She didn't know how long she had slept, but Zhu Shan was woken up by the ringing of her cell phone. It was Qu Lianjie calling.

Qu Lianjie said there was a scene he needed to go to and asked Zhu Shan if she was free.

Zhu Shan saw that she had returned to the city and quickly said yes.

After hanging up the phone, before she could speak, Ling Xiao had already asked, "Where is it?"

"Stardust Residence."

Ling Xiao coughed lightly, "Shanshan."

"ah?"

"Look in the mirror."

? ? ?

Zhu Shan hesitated and opened the sun visor of the small mirror, adjusted the angle, and then saw her purple lips.

Not only the lips, but also the corners of the mouth, and the right lower jaw was also rubbed a little.

She opened her teeth, and sure enough, even her tongue was not spared.

No wonder he smiled so meaningfully at that time.

childish!

childish! !

childish! ! !

Zhu Shan gave Ling Xiao a hard look, then took out a wet tissue and wiped it hard.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at Stardust Residence.

Ambulances and fire trucks have arrived downstairs, and people are surrounding them.

Zhu Shan looked up and saw a small black human figure on the top floor of the community.

"You go back first, don't wait for me." After saying that, Zhu Shan opened the car door and ran to the interview car to gather.

Seeing Qu Lianjie playing with the machine, she panted and said hello, "Director, I'm here."

Qu Lianjie glanced at her and looked away.

Frowning, he turned to look at her again, and Dou asked suspiciously, "Are you poisoned?"

"I..." Zhu Shan gritted her teeth and scolded Ling Xiao in her mind again before explaining, "I ate mulberry."

Qu Lianjie waved his hand, "You go to Wenwen's side to help first."

Because the unit building was surrounded by rescue workers, Xu Wenwen and others could only interview neighbors downstairs.

Zhu Shan immediately went to help.

After communication, an aunt was willing to be interviewed.

She pointed to her temple and said with emotion, "She seems to be mentally disturbed. She always feels that someone is trying to harm her. She yells in the middle of the night. Usually the neighbors have a lot of objections to their family."

Xu Wenwen, "Is there anyone else in her family?"

"It's just her and her husband, but her husband is not here today. I don't know why she ran out and jumped off the building." The aunt pointed to the roof of the building, "Oh, how much will the house price in our community drop with this jump? She is really a crazy woman. ..."

Seeing that the topic had strayed, Xu Wenwen asked again, "How is her relationship with her husband?"

"Her husband is an honest and responsible man, but he has such a crazy wife. Because of her, her husband often comes to apologize to the neighbors. Alas, no one can say anything."

"Then did her husband say what caused her emotional instability?"

"That's not... I didn't say that."

Xu Wenwen interviewed a few more words, and suddenly a policeman came, "Is it from the TV station?"

Without waiting for Zhu Shan and others to react, he waved directly, "Come, follow me."

Qu Lianjie carried the machine and ran, "Follow me! Follow me!"

In the elevator, the police said that the woman who wanted to jump off the building was named Wang Huili. She was now clamoring to see reporters and told them that Wang Huili was emotionally unstable and hoped that no matter what request she made, she would verbally agree first and persuade the person to come down.

Everyone took the elevator to the top floor and climbed another flight of stairs to the top.

A group of police and firefighters gathered around the scene on the top of the building, their persuasive voices mixed in with the sound of the wind.

Someone shouted "Reporters are here" and the surrounding rescue crowd gave way.

The woman sitting on the edge of the building also turned around. She was about thirty years old, thinly dressed, and looked very haggard.

The police officer who was trying to persuade Wang Huili said, "Calm down first. You see, the reporters are already here. Come back first and speak slowly if you have anything to say."

Wang Huili shook her head and shouted, "Just say it here, no one will listen to me when I go back, and you will only think that I am crazy!"

She roared so excitedly that her body swayed, as if she would fall down in the next second.

"Calm down first, calm down! I promise you, we will meet all your needs."

"No, you won't, you will only deal with me!" Wang Huili patted the seat next to her, "I want reporters to come over."

Qu Lianjie volunteered, "I'll do it!"

This sound attracted Wang Huili. She moved her butt out and refused excitedly, "I don't want to tell you!"

Seeing half of Wang Huili's body hanging in the air, everyone present gasped in fright.

The police officer hurriedly waved, "Calm down! Wang Huili! Calm down! You haven't said what you want to say yet, so be sure to calm down!"

Wang Huili's chest heaved violently, her eyes swept around and landed on Zhu Shan, "I want...I want that reporter."

Zhu Shan is famous for being timid, and everyone in the column team knows this.

The reason was that last time she followed the news about a crying child who appeared inexplicably in the middle of the night in an abandoned hospital.

People in the group laughed at her for two days because she was so frightened that she cried.

Later, Qu Lianjie rarely sent her to the scene, saying that her writing skills were good, and asked her to be responsible for writing.

At this time, a police officer came over and called "brother and sister."

Only then did Zhu Shan realize that it was Officer Song who had been advising Wang Huili from the front.

Qu Lianjie was a little embarrassed, "Our team members are timid, so I'm afraid there's nothing we can do."

"It's okay." Zhu Shan swallowed and clenched her fists, "I can do it."

When the firefighter tied Zhu Shan's seat belt, Zhu Shan's legs were shaking.

She was trembling as she spoke, "Song, Officer Song, can I make an unreasonable request?"

"What?"

"When I come down, can you do me a favor?"

Officer Song looked at Zhu Shan for two seconds, smiled and patted her shoulder, "Ten are fine."

Zhu Shan was not greedy, "That's not necessary, just one!"

"good."

Zhu Shan felt the firefighter pull the rope around her waist, and then made an "OK" gesture.

She was so confused that she didn't even know how to sit on it. Her heart seemed to be in her throat and about to jump out of her mouth.

Zhu Shan moved her butt inward, and the edge of the wall got stuck in the hollow of her legs. Even though she was sitting on the innermost side, she still didn't feel safe at all.

She just glanced down and felt dizzy and her scalp numb.

Zhu Shan closed her eyes, with Officer Song's explanation just now lingering in her mind, and said mechanically, "Sister, whatever needs you have, we can satisfy you."

"Are you afraid?"

Zhu Shan's tone had a funny ups and downs at this moment, "I'm afraid~"

Wang Huili suddenly laughed, "I'm not afraid, I still want to fly out."

Zhu Shan finally opened her eyes and looked at her, "Why? Life is so beautiful, so many delicious and fun things..."

"What do you know?" Wang Huili interrupted Zhu Shan, "I have nothing, nothing!"

"No, don't you still have a husband?" Zhu Shan thought of the aunt who was interviewing downstairs just now and said that her husband was very nice.

She looked at Wang Huili and tried to comfort her, "Your husband is so kind, but you are like this..."

Wang Huili suddenly covered her ears in excitement, "Shut up! Don't mention that devil!"

"I won't mention it!" Zhu Shan said hurriedly, "I won't mention it anymore! Calm down!"
