Afraid that Xia Yuanhua might accidentally jump down, Fang Wei’s gaze never left that fallen value.
After all, what he was doing now was really risky.
Bringing her to a place of sorrow like this.
According to the news reports, Xia Yuanhua’s older sister, Xia Yuanjie, was one of the most outstanding divers on the National Team, specializing in the Women’s Ten-Meter Platform.
After winning a Gold Medal at the Olympics at the age of fourteen, Xia Yuanjie’s life was like a classic protagonist’s script, forging ahead on the road of sports.
Until she was seventeen, when this girl who shone so brightly on the platform ended her life forever.
With the final dive of her life.
Right here, right under their feet.
From Xia Yuanhua’s expression, it was clear that she still cared deeply about her sister’s death. At the same time, she was walking down the same path as her sister.
Because they came from the same family.
I know you want to die, but don’t die just yet.
The people who made you depressed are still alive, so wouldn’t your death be in vain?
Of course, if Xia Yuanhua had dared to do anything to her father, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
In reality, she was a coward, manipulated by her family.
Fang Wei definitely couldn’t say, “Let me take you to blow up your house,” nor could he bring her sister back to life on the spot.
But he could make Xia Yuanhua laugh—making her smile was more important than anything.
“Actually, I discovered this place a long time ago. Back then, I thought, if one day I couldn’t go on, I’d come here and jump down.”
He went straight for zero-frame startup, quick, accurate, and ruthless, hitting right at the sore spot.
The cigarette butt in Xia Yuanhua’s hand dropped in shock. Panic flashed across her face, but before she could say anything to stop him, Fang Wei forced out a relieved smile.
“But after I met you, sister, that thought disappeared from my mind.”
“Please don’t… Eh… Is… is that so.”
“That’s what I mean. That night I was thinking, if I could be as outstanding as you, sister, would I have never come to the point of wanting to die? Would mom have…”
His eyes turned red, his chest heaving briefly, but in the end, he forced the overwhelming sadness back down.
He tried to cover it with a deliberately optimistic expression—half hiding, half showing his pain. The more mature he acted, the more pitiful he seemed.
Sure enough, Xia Yuanhua’s heart was caught by him.
“That’s not true! Don’t blame all the misfortune on yourself—no one knows what life will be like tomorrow.”
She spoke righteously, pulling Fang Wei tightly into her arms.
Her soft and full embrace carried a seductive fragrance, her body trembling slightly. To hide it, she could only hug this boy even more tightly.
She wanted to tell him that even if life was dark, there would always be a ray of light to shine on him.
“The cruel thing is the world, and those who make you unhappy. What did you do wrong?”
“You’ve already done so well. Even so, you still have the courage to face life—that’s truly, truly amazing. Little Fang Wei, you’re the bravest boy I’ve ever met!”
She whispered comforting words of praise, wishing she could give him the whole world, telling him that he could be the happiest child on earth.
You’re not some pitiful unlucky child—you are the most perfect boy in sister’s heart!
“But I’m very sensitive inside, always afraid of making mistakes.”
“That just means you’re thoughtful. It’s a rare talent in boys.”
“But I have no friends, and I’m not good at socializing.”
“That’s just because they’re jealous of you. If you were friends with them, they’d feel inferior.”
“And I don’t have any money…”
There was a sudden sound of frantic searching.
Fang Wei, leaning in Xia Yuanhua’s arms, suddenly found a bank card stuffed into his hand.
Xia Yuanhua puffed out her cheeks, her tone fierce.
“Sister will take care of you from now on!”
No way…
Fang Wei suddenly realized his system was pure decoration—his real cheat was his maxed-out Modeling skill and this little mouth of his.
Sorry, Mr. Black Cross. If one day I really get—get kept by sister, I’ll have to quit the Card Repair Organization.
Trying to turn me into a little baby, Xia Yuanhua, you’re so shameless at this moment!
Please keep it up in the future.
But Fang Wei wasn’t blinded by the bank card. All this money was the result of Xia Yuanhua’s hard work. As a man, he couldn’t be someone else’s parasite.
On the road to happiness, only the rewards issued by the [Hypnosis app] could be used with a clear conscience.
So he forced the bank card back, smiling through his tears.
“Sister can say anything to comfort me.”
“It’s just the truth,” Xia Yuanhua seemed to really see him as the perfect boy.
As if his tragic life and broken heart weren’t flaws but the Venus de Milo, and she was his Alexandros.
The bank card went back and forth between them, but finally returned to Xia Yuanhua’s hand. With the corner of his eye, Fang Wei noticed her fallen value settle after a brief fluctuation.
Is saving a fallen big sister considered pua?
All he did was give Xia Yuanhua a reason to keep going, telling her that without her, he couldn’t survive, that only she could be his sun.
He wanted to give her something to hold onto, even if just for a while—only then could she keep living.
As long as she’s alive, there’s hope.
“Sister seems like she’d be perfect as a kindergarten teacher. So patient and kind.”
Fang Wei took the initiative to change the topic.
Seeing his mood lighten, Xia Yuanhua unconsciously straightened her chest.
“I’m not as great as little Fang Wei says. Sister is just an ordinary person~”
[Fallen Value -1]
“Definitely not like a kindergarten teacher. Which kindergarten teacher has such good speaking skills? It’s a pity sister won’t teach me. Otherwise, I could listen to her every day.”
Xia Yuanhua’s cheeks flushed hot. She felt like she might float away.
Because of her status, she was used to colleagues flattering her, but never like this.
“T-then, sister will send you voice messages every day from now on, and call you before bed… Would that bother you?”
“Voice messages are fine. I can listen to them whenever I miss you, sister.”
Complimenting someone is an art—it’s not about flattery, but about praising someone for something they themselves care about, reinforcing the memory. That way, whenever she remembers, it naturally becomes a happy memory.
While the two were chatting, night had completely fallen.
It’s rare to see stars in the city sky, but sometimes there were blinking signal lights. By the sea, though, the faint starlight was easier to catch.
“Little Fang Wei’s parents must be watching us from the sky.”
Xia Yuanhua’s voice was melodious and clear. She was willing to act like a strong, gentle big sister in front of Fang Wei. While lighting up others, she unconsciously lit herself up, too.
Fang Wei nodded, about to say something more, when a blinding white light suddenly shone behind them.
And a shrill whistle pierced the night.
“The two up there, please remain calm! Think of your parents and friends, of those who love you. Don’t end your life in such an extreme way!”
