work out, come right back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t provoke him in any way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the rooftop entrance, the head of security urged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen nodded and walked alone towards him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop right there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I said, do not let anyone come up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male student seemed to hear the noise and spoke with his back to Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say people who play computers are relatively meek, but it’s not always the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You need a certain amount of guts to just casually sit there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if you didn’t win the lottery, there’s no need to gamble with your life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domestic lotteries are like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to now, I’ve never even won twenty bucks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t rush in but stopped five steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the laughter, the student turned around to see it wasn’t a security guard behind him and couldn’t help but be taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party still remembered his name, but he had forgotten the other’s, which made Jiang Chen feel a twinge of shame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Long time no see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student smiled back and then patted a spot next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wanna sit together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen shook his head, “Sorry, I’m afraid of heights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student’s laughter changed from soft to loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, you’re still as interesting as you were back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard you’re now with the beauty from the Art Institute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How have you been recently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you think?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student tilted his head, still sitting with his legs dangling, “I’m already sitting here, yet you’re asking this kind of question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheesh, sometimes I really don’t know what the meaning of living in this world is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wish I could reset everything and start over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, the more hysterical people seem, the more they fear death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, someone like him who can still joke around at such a crucial moment, is often more dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You never know, he might just decide to wave goodbye to the world after the next sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what the odds of winning the lottery are?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One in eight million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But we still choose to buy lottery tickets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The odds of a plane crash are one in 3.7 million, yet every day there are still people taking flights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The odds of a car accident are one in four thousand, and it is currently the most common mode of transportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the odds of us being born into this world are one in four hundred quadrillion, yet here you are sitting, questioning whether your life has any meaning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Jiang Chen’s serene gaze, the student’s smile gradually faded, plunging him into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I came up just now, the head of security told me that this quality education building was constructed over thirty years ago and is 26.3 meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m mentioning this to tell you that if you jump from here, unless you are incredibly unlucky, you most likely won’t die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might become a vegetable, or more likely end up with a lifelong disability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the entrance to the rooftop, the head of security listened in shock but didn’t know whether to run over and intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen continued, “Although I haven’t met your parents, I know that raising a child is probably the most difficult task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s likely harder than taking the graduate entrance exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They nurtured you for over twenty years, provided for you, protected your growth, sent you to school, and maybe they never thought about you repaying them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as their child, after being looked after by your parents for half your life, surely you can’t let them look after you for the second half too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student’s eyes trembled,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Buddy, not many people have a smooth sailing life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s normal to encounter bumps and falls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a student from a prestigious university, you should understand some principles without me having to say them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, why the sudden loss of perspective?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student pursed his lips and remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I really want to sit with you, but I genuinely can’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embarrassing, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In fact, many people have contemplated suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s an easy exit, isn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m no different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve also thought about resetting everything and starting over, like you said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe next time I’ll be luckier, get an upgraded account.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I’m scared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jumping from a building, slitting my wrists, lying on tracks, hanging, taking sleeping pills…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>don’t look at me like that, many methods you probably never even considered, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve thought about them, but I’m scared of the pain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen said without any shame, “On this point, you’re way braver than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you’re not afraid of the pain of dying, then why are you afraid of living?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department stared at the young man’s back at the entrance to the rooftop, lost in a daze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen seemed to muster the courage to walk a few steps forward, arriving at the edge of the rooftop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy did not stop him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen stopped by his side and ultimately still lacked the courage to sit down and enjoy the breeze; he glanced at the dense crowd of people below, then quickly retracted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really are afraid of heights.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do I have a reason to lie to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen showed a helpless expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Beep boop～ beep boop～ beep boop…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of police sirens came faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked in the direction of the school gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When I was a child, I heard the elders in my area say that before souls are reincarnated, they have all seen the script, but they forget everything at the moment of birth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s not strange to have premonitions, and it’s not strange for life to have foreshadowing; even if things aren’t going well now, we have to believe that since we chose this script, there must be something in it that we deemed worthwhile.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s gaze was distant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen reached out his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the palm in front of him and then back at Jiang Chen, the boy raised his arm and grabbed his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen pulled hard and brought him down,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheers erupted from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department let out a long sigh of relief and hurried over, giving the boy a scolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reckless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To treat your life as a child’s play at such a young age, how can you justify this to your family, to the school?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chief, it’s good that no one is hurt.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department looked at Jiang Chen, his anger subsiding, “Let’s go down and talk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them went downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, thank you for this time, I will definitely report this to the school and commend you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department sighed, “The aim of modern education is to train students like you, and I’m proud that our school has outstanding students like you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked at the boy being questioned by the police, “I hope the school won’t impose too severe a punishment on him, give him a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An attempted suicide at school is a serious blow to the school’s reputation, and even if nothing happened, the school certainly won’t remain indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll do my best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The head of the security department watched his departing figure, his mind uncontrollably replaying the words spoken on the rooftop; waves of emotions surged through him, leaving him unable to calm down for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this really a young man who hasn’t even graduated from university yet?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen is out!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Wei Chuyin’s reminder, Ai Qian had already hurried forward, staring at Jiang Chen’s face with eyes full of concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen shook his head and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What could be wrong with me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, another shout rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ai Qian turned her head subconsciously, and her expression immediately stiffened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1403,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.633Z","2026-06-01T04:31:31.827Z",1,"novelbin.me","4fadee0ad1e570eae2df9d6da01edee19d178e43497dd77d3dc32012888ca04c","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-218","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-216",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
