Chapter 53: All Ming Zhen

He Yu doesn't remember this paragraph in their story.
Isn't there? Or, he didn't know it.
The desperate girl who walked to the top floor clearly wanted to die. But the Jiang Xiaozhen he knew was not such a vulnerable person.
Vulnerable people...
He Yu looked in the direction of the auditorium when she came. He knew that there was a young man in the dark silence. He frowned tightly and waited in place, as if rooted under his feet, unable to move. Just like this one, he was also gradually swallowed by darkness.
The fragile person is right from beginning to end.
The little country boy who was sent to the fence carefully pleased the eldest lady at home; missed his dead father who had nightmares every day, hid in the nanny room, and held tightly the box of watercolor pens that couldn't paint colors. Being excluded by classmates, pretending not to care, becoming reticent, and quietly training to change the accent. Following his mother back to the countryside to collect debts, at the last glance of childhood, I saw the carefree smile of the ugly little princess in the center of the luxurious hotel.
He cares. Care about how Jiang Xiaozhen sees him, whether there is still contempt in those eyes.
He used the worst idea to speculate on her. They shouldn't have been so close, so he can pretend to be calm and high-end, without worrying about being underestimated.
If she didn't confess to him...
She said she liked him.
why do you like it? Do you really like it? Would you like it forever?
Are you regretting it? Why hesitate? Why didn't you choose the end firmly?
The young He Yu, faced with Jiang Xiaozhen's hesitation, chose to grudge against her ignorantly.
The old He Yu, with Jiang Mingzhen's persistence, chose to let her go first.
The fragile person, from beginning to end, is himself.
If she knew, she would definitely blame him.
"Jiang Xiaozhen doesn't blame He Yu."
The old voice moved the story and moved his footsteps. When He Yu raised her head, she saw Jiang Xiaozhen walking up the stairs. She had lost a lot of weight, her back hunched, and her slender legs were white as paper.
He walked behind her, a distance that was not far away and beyond.
The long damp corridor and the bleak moonlight made her breathing hard. It is clearly a concrete floor, but every foot is like walking into the mud.
"Looking back on my entire life, the best thing is to meet He Yu."
"Jiang Xiaozhen does not blame his parents, they do everything to love her, protect her, and place all their hopes on her."
"Jiang Xiaozhen only blames herself."
The door of the roof was pulled open, and the cool breeze poured into the corridor, mixed with thick water vapor.
This coolness made He Yu feel that he had returned to the real world.
The background sound of the narration is gone. It is replaced by the sound of rain and wind.
Young Jiang Xiaozhen, her face is so clear in the moonlight.
She is crying.
Tears slid from the corners of his eyes, across his haggard cheeks, and dripped into the empty darkness.
Stepping across the open door, she stepped into the rain curtain without hesitation.
He Yu was shocked.
"No!"
He chased after him, jumping out of the onlooker's composure, the fiction of the story, and suddenly caught a ray from the chaotic thoughts.
Jiang Xiaozhen's hair slipped away from his fingers.
The rain penetrated the back of his old man's patchy hands and returned to the water.
Jiang Xiaozhen is dialing the phone.
He walked to her and saw her press the number of her mother's beauty shop.
He accompanied her through a series of monotonous beeps.
It's too late. No one responded to Jiang Xiaozhen's cry for help.
After she hung up the phone, she opened her mouth, her voice cramped, regretful, trapped and painful. Like a dying fish caught by a hook.
She said, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"I feel very sorry when I want to say something. I'm sorry because I want to run away, I'm sorry because I messed up, I'm sorry because I'm too fragile, I'm letting down other people's expectations, and letting myself down. Go forward, choose to give up at this moment, sorry."
How could this happen, He Yu didn't believe it.
"You wake up." He called to her.
The hand that shook her shoulders could not touch any entities.
They are phantoms in each other's world.
"Jiang Mingzhen, wake up soon."
She closed the phone and walked towards the edge of the rooftop with empty eyes.
She was on the seventh floor, and she would definitely die if she jumped down.
He Yu opened his arms and stopped in front of her again and again.
He talked to her, begging her to hear.
"It's not you, Mingzhen, do you know what you are?"
"If a kid doesn’t play with you, he raises his chin and hums and walks away. That’s you. You are in the middle of the family, and you are still a little princess who shoulders the dreams of mom and dad. Bullying, ridicule, contempt, they can’t help it. Down with you."
"The year we met again, you reopened your father’s restaurant. You are a resolute female boss and female chef. The restaurant’s business is booming. Our baby girl, you had a heavy bleeding when you gave birth to her. You carried the pain, stayed awake, and survived. I had a stroke in old age, and you took care of me at home. The body was thinner than me. You carried me up and down. You never called tired.
So, so He Yu thought, even if he left first, she would be able to survive.
His wife is brave, powerful and invincible, such a person.
Jiang Xiaozhen stepped over the railing, one foot hanging in the air.
Frighteningly, she looked straight at the height of the seventh floor with a calm expression.
Jiang Xiaozhen can't hear me, He Yu is sure.
She looks very young, and her eyes are strange.
This is Jiang Mingzhen's youth.
Complex, troublesome, inappropriate, and flawed young girl Jiang Xiaozhen.
When her other leg climbed over the fence, He Yu turned over with her without thinking.
With his back facing outward, he embraced her, waiting for the fall.
Let her wake up, how do you wake up? At the moment of hugging her, He Yu suddenly figured it out.
This Jiang Xiaozhen is also his Mingzhen.
She is the part she spurned.
She is not so good, he knows.
But He Yu loves all Jiang Mingzhen.
