"Are you really Ding Yi?"

Ding nodded and said, "Well, I didn't scare you, did I?"

Only then did Qiao Yingzi breathe a sigh of relief. Anyone would be worried if they suddenly saw a sneaky person in the middle of the night.

"No, Ding Yi, why are you here so late at night?"

"By the way, aren't you already in college? The university shouldn't be on vacation at this time, right?"

Ding Yi hesitated: "I, I didn't go."

Qiao Yingzi was surprised: "You didn't go? Why not? College is so good. You can be free and no one will supervise you."

When Ding Yi was speaking, he didn't dare look at Qiao Yingzi and Zhou Chen, and he was dodging them.

"Yes, it's very good. I just couldn't sleep for nights. So, I couldn't continue to go to school."

"Where are you two? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?"

When Qiao Yingzi heard Ding Yi's narration, she was actually a little frightened, because she had been diagnosed with mild depression, so when she saw Ding Yi's reaction, she immediately thought of herself.

Did Ding Yi also suffer from depression? And it was serious?

Zhou Chen suddenly said, "We are just out for a stroll. Ding Yi, are you in trouble?"

When Ding Yi was talking to Qiao Yingzi, he had already guessed Ding Yi's identity. There was a college student who jumped off a building in the TV series, and that was Ding Yi.

He did suffer from depression like Qiao Yingzi, but his symptoms were much more serious than Qiao Yingzi's.

More importantly, he remembered that Ding Yi seemed to have committed suicide after meeting Qiao Yingzi. Judging from the current situation, it was most likely tonight.

This is a life. It would be fine if he had not encountered it, but now that he has, Zhou Chen cannot sit idly by.

Ding Yi looked at Zhou Chen in confusion, and Qiao Yingzi quickly explained: "This is my classmate, Zhou Chen."

"That's great. It's great that you have friends."

Ding Yi's tone was a little envious. Ever since he got sick, he no longer had any friends, so when he saw Qiao Yingzi and Zhou Chen close together, he couldn't help but feel envious.

"Ding Yi, you know Yingzi, and we are alumni. Judging from your appearance, you must be in trouble. If you are in trouble, you can tell us, maybe we can help you."

Zhou Chen asked again. Since it was certain that Ding Yi would commit suicide tonight, he was going to try and see if he could stop Ding Yi.

Ding Yi looked at Zhou Chen seriously for a while, then said: "I, I came here to find something, it's in their house."

Qiao Yingzi asked enthusiastically: "What are you looking for? If you want to find something, I can help you. I know this family."

Ding Yi waved his hand and said, "No, no, you can't find it, but thank you."

"Well, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. We can talk again when we have time. Bye."

After saying that, Ding Yi left in a panic.

Watching Ding Yi's departing back, Qiao Yingzi was full of doubts: "Zhou Chen, what do you think he is looking for? He stayed up late at night and came here to look for it. It must be something precious, right?"

Zhou Chen was also watching Ding Yi leaving. He only knew that Ding Yi would jump off the building and commit suicide tonight, but he couldn't guess the exact time. He only knew that there would be a commotion the next morning when he went to school.

That means Ding Yi must have committed suicide by jumping off the building between 2:00 and 6:00.

"He's looking for the dream he was forced to throw away."

"?"

Qiao Yingzi looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen said: "Did you notice that his behavior and tone just now are very strange, not like that of a normal person."

Qiao Yingzi's expression changed: "You mean, he is too?"

"It's very likely that he has depression, and it's a very serious kind, which is why he can't even go to college. He stays up in the middle of the night and comes here to look for something. In all likelihood, he is looking for his dream."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Shuxiang Yayuan is in the school district of Chunfeng Middle School. Every year, families with high school students come here. Many students are forced to study. In order to satisfy their parents' desires, they have to give up their dreams and do things they don't like and learn things they don't like."

Qiao Yingzi's expression kept changing. She felt that what Zhou Chen said was very similar to her experience.

Her mother Song Qian was such a person, always forcing her to do things she didn't like to do. Thinking of her own experience and her symptoms, she suddenly understood what Zhou Chen said, and also understood what Ding Yi was looking for.

"Zhou Chen, do you think I will..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm here and I won't let you end up like him."

Zhou Chen interrupted Qiao Yingzi rudely and stared into her eyes seriously: "Yingzi, believe me, no matter what others think, I will do my best to help you and not let anyone hurt you."

Qiao Yingzi was not shy this time. She also looked into Zhou Chen's eyes and nodded silently.

"Well, I believe you."

"Zhou Chen, it's great to have you."

A lot of things happened in these few months, some happy and some sad, but the thing that made Qiao Yingzi happiest was that she met her good friend Zhou Chen.

No matter what the future holds, during this period of time, her reliance on Zhou Chen is greater than her reliance on her parents. Zhou Chen has become the person she trusts the most.

"I'm much better now, and a little sleepy, Zhou Chen, let's go upstairs."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said, "Something's wrong."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Yingzi asked puzzledly.

"That Ding Yi, his condition is very wrong."

Zhou Chen said, "Yingzi, do you remember what the doctor said before? Severely depressed patients not only behave differently from normal people and have bad tempers and depression, but also have suicidal tendencies. Ding Yi's condition just now was not right."

Qiao Yingzi covered her mouth in horror and asked in a low voice in disbelief: "Ding Yi wants to commit suicide?"

"It's possible, and the possibility is very high."

"So what should we do, call the police?"

When she heard about suicide, Qiao Yingzi was obviously panicked, because she had mild depression and had thoughts of suicide, not to mention more severe depression.

Thinking that Ding Yi might commit suicide, her first reaction was to call the police.

Zhou Chen was left in tears and amused by Qiao Yingzi's words, and gently tapped her head.

"You are a top student, but your brain is so dull. We just guessed that Ding Yi had suicidal tendencies. If we call the police, what should we say? Should we say it was just our guess? Then it will not be Ding Yi who will be in trouble, but us."

Qiao Yingzi stuck out her tongue awkwardly, "Oh, that's right, I was wrong, so what should we do?"

Zhou Chen: "Yingzi, go back and rest first. I'll go over and take a look. As long as we wait until daytime and he doesn't jump off the building, then everything will be fine."

"No, I'll wait with you." Qiao Yingzi refused without hesitation.

Zhou Chen wanted to say more, but looking at Qiao Yingzi's determined eyes, he hesitated.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look."

So the two of them followed the direction Ding Yi left and followed him quietly.

Ding Yi did not leave Shuxiang Yayuan, but stopped at a small park in the community and stood there alone, as if blending into the darkness.

The wait lasted for more than half an hour. Qiao Yingzi was so cold that she huddled beside Zhou Chen, while Zhou Chen hugged Qiao Yingzi to keep her warm.

"Zhou Chen, are we just going to wait like this?"

"I know it's not a good idea to wait like this, but we have no other choice."

This was also the first time Zhou Chen encountered such a thing. If he were a normal person, he could go up and persuade them directly.

But the problem is that Ding Yi is not a normal person, he is a patient with severe depression.

To put it bluntly, Ding Yi is a serious mental patient. His every move is different from that of ordinary people. Now he has not taken any action. If they rush over to persuade him, it may have a counterproductive effect.

Fortunately, Ding Yi did not stay outside for long. He soon returned to the yard of Ji Yangyang's house. After looking for a while, he walked into the building.

"He's in, what should we do?"

"Follow me."

Zhou Chen and Qiao Yingzi followed Ding Yi and soon arrived at the rooftop of the building.

"Why is he running to the roof? Is he really going to commit suicide?"

The building is not tall, only six floors, and there is a door leading to the rooftop, but it is usually not managed, so Ding Yi can easily reach the rooftop.

Zhou Chen's face was serious. "It's very likely. Otherwise, who would climb up to the rooftop in the middle of the night?"

"So what should we do now? We can't wait any longer. He may jump at any time."

Qiao Yingzi looked nervous. A life was at stake, so she couldn't help but be nervous.

"Well, we can't wait any longer."

Zhou Chen had the same idea. Now they had reached the roof. If Ding Yi was really determined to commit suicide and jumped down, he would not be able to stop him.

"Come on, let's go there."

Ding Yi stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the darkness below. There seemed to be a voice in his mind constantly urging him to jump down.

He was too tired and too uncomfortable, and the only way to end it all was to jump from here. As long as he jumped, he would be free.

I took another step forward, but at this moment.

"Ding Yi."

Ding Yi turned his head suddenly and saw Qiao Yingzi and Zhou Chen suddenly appeared behind him, looking at him nervously.

"Why did you come up here?"

Zhou Chen immediately said, "We followed you up here. We saw you coming up here alone just now and we were worried about you, so we followed you up here."

"You, do you want to jump?"

Ding Yi had a strange expression on his face: "Yes, I'm too tired, I want to leave."

"No."

"Don't."

Qiao Yingzi and Zhou Chen shouted at the same time.

"Ding Yi, don't do anything rash. If you jump down, you will really die. Have you ever thought about what will happen to your parents after you die?"

Qiao Yingzi brought out Ding Yi's parents and tried to persuade Ding Yi.

But Ding Yi said painfully: "They, I embarrassed them. Without me, maybe they would be better off."

He hated his parents, but he couldn't bear to hurt them. It was just that he was in too much pain, and he wanted to end it all, and the easiest way was to end himself.

"You are wrong. If you die, they will be the ones who suffer the most. I don't know what they did to you to force you into this state. However, no matter how wrong they are, you can't retaliate against yourself like this. You are not even afraid of death. What else in this world can scare you?"

Ding Yi said dejectedly: "No, there are things in this world that are more terrible than death. I am really in too much pain. Please stop trying to persuade me."

As he said that, he took another step back, getting closer and closer to the edge, which frightened Qiao Yingzi so much that she wanted to reach out and pull him even though she was a few meters away.

Zhou Chen was still very calm. He did not provoke Ding Yi, but asked in a calm tone.

"Ding Yi, since you are not afraid of death, can you tell us your story?"

"my story?"

Ding Yi was obviously a little confused, "I don't have much of a story. My life is too painful. It can't even be considered a story."

Zhou Chen: "Then tell me why you became like this. I heard from Yingzi that you were a top student in high school and were admitted to a very good university. But why did you become like this?"

"Why did it become like this? Yes, why did I become like this? When did it start?"

Ding Yi's expression became more and more confused. His mental illness was so serious that his mind became a little confused.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 267 Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda

After a while, Ding Yi slowly calmed down his confused thoughts and started talking about his own affairs.

In fact, Ding Yi’s story is not complicated. His experience is somewhat similar to Qiao Yingzi’s, but the pressure he bears is even greater than Qiao Yingzi’s.

Qiao Yingzi was only forced by her mother, and her father Qiao Weidong was a qualified harbor, so she was able to maintain her cheerful personality over the years.

It was because of the high pressure and many things to do in the last few months that I was pushed too far and developed mental problems.

But Ding Yi is different. His parents have always been strict with him. Even if his parents think something he likes is not good, they will not let him get it.

What really made him break down was his senior year of high school. He did not perform very well in the college entrance examination last year. He originally wanted to apply for his favorite major, but in the end he was forced by his parents to apply for a major he did not like.
