"So young and already so desperate to end it all, must be something wrong with his brain."
"He must have been playing the stock market. No, wait, maybe he was buying crude oil."
A group of onlookers gossiped and speculated about why the man on the rooftop was ready to end his life.
Ling Zhenfei slipped into a spot and made his way in. He called Liu Bingying when he reached her door but no one answered. Sensing something strange and feeling that the person attempting suicide upstairs might be related to Liu Bingying, he took the elevator to the rooftop. Spotting the person about to jump, Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised to see that it was Liu Guang.
Liu Guang looked even more disheveled than the other night, his body filthy and reeking of urine. His facial features seemed to clump together, indicating his extreme discomfort. Standing at the edge of the roof, he looked like he might jump at any moment.
The scene was cordoned off by the police with live television broadcast nearby, and Liu Bingying was attempting to talk Liu Guang down from a close distance, but seemingly to little effect. Of course, Ling Zhenfei knew why Liu Guang wanted to commit suicide. He had sealed several acupoints in his lower body with the "Divine Needle" the last time, and he figured Liu Guang must have been in a great deal of discomfort.
"Don't bother with me, I truly can't go on anymore," Liu Guang said, stepping backwards towards the edge of the roof as though he was going to jump.
"What's going on here, it's quite a scene," Ling Zhenfei's comment startled everyone.
"How did you get in? This area is under martial law," a police officer hurried over, trying to get Ling Zhenfei down.
However, at that moment, Liu Guang saw Ling Zhenfei and stopped in his tracks, then ran toward him and knelt down several meters away.
"Brother, please save me, I really can't take it anymore."
Everyone was stunned by this scene, wondering what kind of person Ling Zhenfei was.
"Do you know what you did wrong that day?"
"I know I was wrong. I'll be a good person from now on, stop causing trouble, stop harassing Liu Bingying or anyone else. Please, just spare me this one time," Liu Guang cried miserably, a mix of snot and tears making him look pitiful.
"Why should I believe you? I've heard that your character isn't good and that you can't change your old ways."
"Slap slap slap!"
"I was wrong, I was wrong. I will definitely change, if I don't, let thunder strike me," Liu Guang cried while slapping himself.
"Afei, please let him go, he's really a bit pitiful," Liu Bingying probably knew a bit of the reason, and she now spoke up for Liu Guang.
"Sister, I'm just worried this kid will bother you again."
"I won't, I won't come again, I'll find a job, start working, I want to start anew." Liu Guang knelt in front of Liu Bingying, continuously kowtowing, begging for her forgiveness.
Ling Zhenfei knew that Liu Guang was genuinely afraid; the agony of not being able to urinate was too much to bear. If he was left like that, there was a real possibility that Liu Guang's bladder might burst.
Liu Bingying, unable to bear the sight, looked at Ling Zhenfei with sympathy. Ling Zhenfei nodded slightly at her and took off his jacket. He then made a quick motion next to Liu Guang, ostensibly to shield the action from the reporters and police.
In truth, in that instant when the jacket fluttered, Ling Zhenfei had transformed his energy into needles and struck several acupoints on Liu Guang's body, undoing the seal he had placed there the other day.
As soon as the seal was released, Liu Guang urinated, soaking his entire pair of pants. The urine flowed down his pant legs to the ground, forming a large puddle without showing any signs of stopping. Nearby reporters and police officers quickly covered their noses and scrambled to the sides, wanting to avoid the spreading pool of urine.
Although Liu Guang had wet his pants under the live television cameras, the expression on his face was still incredibly pleased, a complete transformation from just moments ago.
The police, property management, and the reporters were all stunned, unsure of what exactly had happened in that instant. In fact, since Ling Zhenfei's arrival, they had been a bit confused, not understanding why this man was hitting his own face like a madman, then continuously kowtowing and pleading.
All of it was because of Ling Zhenfei's arrival. Those reporters with quick wits had already figured this out, but by the time they thought to look for Ling Zhenfei, he had already disappeared with Liu Bingying.
By that time, Ling Zhenfei and Liu Bingying had returned to Liu Bingying's home.
"You really have your ways, how exactly did you do it?" The moment they got home, Liu Bingying couldn't wait to ask Ling Zhenfei.
"Top secret!" Ling Zhenfei teased, deciding to keep her guessing.
"Oh? You start keeping secrets from your sister? Fine, your sister won't ask anymore. I just really want to thank you, including what happened today at the hospital. I truly don't know how much I owe you," Liu Bingying, understanding and considerate, knew that everyone has some private matters and understood the importance of giving everyone their own space.
"So, how does my sister intend to thank me?" Ling Zhenfei asked playfully.
Liu Bingying smiled faintly and countered, "You tell me, how should your sister thank you? Whatever I have, I am willing to give it to you."
As their eyes met, Liu Bingying's eyes were filled with tenderness, rippling like spring water, which made Ling Zhenfei gaze at her in a daze. However, the look in Ling Zhenfei's eyes was fiery, like a blazing fire.
"What are you looking at, silly?"
"Sorry, sister. You are just so beautiful that for a moment there, I thought I was in the presence of a Fairy. I got a bit distracted," Ling Zhenfei scratched his head, attempting to ease his inner embarrassment, and what he was truly thinking might only be known to himself.
"With that sweet tongue of yours, I really don't know how many pretty girls you've charmed."
"It might be a charm to others, but to my sister, I speak the truth. With your beauty, if you're not a Fairy, what are you?" The two of them, speaking such words, drew unconsciously closer, now only inches apart.
"Don't keep saying that, your sister is getting old," Liu Bingying's face turned lightly red.
"The sister I see is not old at all, she is at her most charming, and even..." Ling Zhenfei only had eyes for Liu Bingying at that moment, with words he wanted to say but dared not voice.
"Even what?" Liu Bingying feigned ignorance, keeping her head low, not daring to look at Ling Zhenfei, her cheeks red as peach blossoms.
An urge inside Ling Zhenfei made him want to blurt out his thoughts, but suddenly he hesitated. Liu Bingying had been so kind to him that a single wrong word might leave only awkwardness between them in future encounters.
"It's nothing. I'll go check if those annoying reporters have left yet."
Having spoken, Ling Zhenfei turned to leave, but Liu Bingying caught hold of him.
Liu Bingying's hand grasped Ling Zhenfei's, causing Ling Zhenfei's heart to flutter, his heartbeat quickening. Her hands were slightly cool and smooth, holding them was extremely comfortable.
"Sister?"
In that moment, it was as if the previous awkwardness of their conversation had dissipated. Liu Bingying leaned gently against Ling Zhenfei's chest, and his face touched her hair, which gave off a light fragrance, so distinctly Liu Bingying's scent.
