Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly sent a WeChat voice call, but discovered Li Jianjia did not answer.

Then he hurriedly called again, only to find the other party's mobile phone was already switched off.

Wang Xiaohua was jumping in anxiety, and hurriedly dialed the police report number:

"Hello, Police Comrade, my girlfriend may have committed suicide, can you help go check? A life is at stake, it's very urgent!"

The operator's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Hello sir, please don't panic first, may I ask where in Beijing your girlfriend is right now?"

Wang Xiaohua answered honestly:

"She's not in Beijing, she's in Guangzhou, I can't reach her now, her phone is switched off."

"Sir, how are you sure she might commit suicide?"

"Her family recently had a huge upheaval, she's been unhappy all along, stop asking so much okay, please hurry and help, this is a living human life?"

"Where in Guangzhou does your girlfriend live, I'll help you contact the local police there."

"She lives in University Town, Beigang Village Lane 14 No. 09, Fourth Floor, Room 402!"

Wang Xiaohua reported the specific address, and also reported Li Jianjia's specific information, even her ID card number, all of it, then also took the initiative to report his own identity information, and only then did the Beijing police confirm this wasn't a prank.

So they immediately contacted the local police station in University Town, and upon receiving the report, the police there immediately dispatched officers to Beigang Village to check the situation.

Very quickly they found Lane 14 No. 09, this is a local native's self-built house.

Because by this time it was already past 2 AM, the building's iron gate was tightly shut.

The police contacted the landlord, but the landlord didn't answer the phone for a long time.

The landlord was probably asleep.

The police had no choice but to hurriedly find a locksmith, and had the locksmith help open the lock on the first floor's big iron gate.

Then they went up to the fourth floor, found Room 402, knocked for a good while but no response from inside, so they had the locksmith open the room's lock as well.

Entering inside the room, only saw this single room, apart from a narrow bed, all four sides were piled full of books.

Though crowded, it was not messy.

Li Jianjia just lay quietly on the bed like that.

By her hand, there also lay a bottle of sleeping pills.

Seeing this, the police didn't say another word, and hurriedly took Li Jianjia to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

And on the other side, far away in Beijing, Wang Xiaohua remained anxiously uneasy.

He kept trying to contact Li Jianjia, kept calling, kept sending WeChat messages, he very much hoped he had guessed wrong, even if judged as a false report and detained, that didn't matter, he just needed Li Jianjia to be alright.

Unfortunately, Li Jianjia's phone remained switched off, the WeChat messages sent over also never got a response.

Until around 5 AM, Li Jianjia's phone finally connected.

However, the one who answered was not Li Jianjia.

"Hello, you're Li Jianjia's boyfriend right?"

A strange man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, Police Comrade, how is Jianjia?"

Wang Xiaohua hurriedly asked.

Before the police comrade could state his identity, he had already guessed the other side was police.

"She swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills, we took her to the hospital for gastric lavage, the rescue was fairly timely, there should be no life danger."

Hearing these words, Wang Xiaohua finally heavily let out a breath of relief:

"Thank you, thank you all!"

"No need for thanks, this is all what we should do."

Wang Xiaohua asked again hurriedly:

"Which hospital is she in now, I'll go see her today."

"She's right now in the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital inside University Town."

Wang Xiaohua hung up the police's phone, and immediately bought the earliest plane ticket to Guangzhou today on his mobile phone.

After buying the ticket, he then went straight to the airport without stopping.

The plane from Beijing to Guangzhou needs over three hours.

These three-plus hours were the hardest three hours Wang Xiaohua had ever endured in this life.

His inner heart was full of self-blame.

If initially when discovering Li Jianjia had psychological problems, he had taken her to the hospital for treatment at the first moment, perhaps this kind of thing would never have happened at all!

When it comes down to it, it was still him not taking it seriously enough.

He thought only patient guidance was needed to make Li Jianjia get better.

Little did he know depression this kind of thing, how could a few words of persuasion eliminate the symptoms?

Past 10 AM, the plane landed.

Wang Xiaohua exited the airport, and hurriedly hailed a taxi to University Town.

From Baiyun Airport to University Town, still needs nearly an hour's drive.

"Driver, can you drive faster? I have an urgent matter."

"I'm afraid there's no way, it's early morning right now, exactly the time for traffic jams."

The driver said so.

Wang Xiaohua could only not say anything.

The taxi moved in stops and starts, running into the morning rush hour peak period, the road was very jammed.

As a result, a journey that originally only needed less than an hour, in the end dragged on to over two hours.

Wang Xiaohua really wanted to give himself two slaps.

He shouldn't have chosen to take a taxi, but should have chosen to take the subway.

Taking the subway to University Town, at most it's only an hour and a half.

And a traffic jam situation would absolutely not appear.

Can only say I was too anxious.

Concern then chaos.

Once chaotic, one loses the ability to analyze rationally.

It makes one's own brain seem like it got water in it, unable to turn.

Making the decisions made seem like those of a retard.

Until around twelve-thirty, Wang Xiaohua finally arrived at the Provincial TCM Hospital branch in University Town.

In the inpatient department here, he found Li Jianjia.

At this time, Li Jianjia was lying on the hospital bed, already awake.

After the stomach pumping ordeal, her face was very pale, her whole body weak, her eyes carrying bewilderment.

"Jianjia!"

Wang Xiaohua shouted once.

Li Jianjia looked up.

"Xiao Hua, how did you come? Am I dreaming?"

Li Jianjia's face revealed a trace of surprise.

In her view, she should already be dead.

Now is the terminal lucidity at death, the hallucination appearing.

Wang Xiaohua hurried over and hugged her:

"You're not dreaming, I really came."

Feeling the warmth on Wang Xiaohua's body, Li Jianjia only then had a sense of reality.

But this sense of reality was not what she wanted to face.

She didn't want Wang Xiaohua to see her fragile side, so she had always been pretending to be strong, pretending to be optimistic in front of Wang Xiaohua.

But that was really very, very tiring.

She had always been tensing her nerves.

Finally last night, suddenly she couldn't hold on anymore.

Thoughts of death surged into her heart, and then could no longer be stopped, eroding her like cancer cells!

Finally driving her, at a little past two in the morning, in the deep of night when all was quiet, to make a terrible decision.

She took out the sleeping pills she had gotten prescribed at the hospital during her previous insomnia, ate a whole bottle, and only then sent that message to Wang Xiaohua.

She knew Wang Xiaohua loved her, she also loved Wang Xiaohua, and her love wasn't selfish, but sincerely hoped Wang Xiaohua would live well.

So she didn't want Wang Xiaohua to be lonely for a lifetime after she left, that's why she sent the message, giving Wang Xiaohua a final farewell, letting Wang Xiaohua go find another woman.

After sending it, she turned off her phone, her brain also gradually shutting down along with it.

She thought she was going to bid farewell to this world forever.

But she never would have thought, Wang Xiaohua's reaction would actually be this fast, the first moment he received this message, he guessed she wanted to commit suicide, and the first moment dialed the police report, forcibly pulling her back from the gates of hell.

"Jianjia, no matter what, only by living is there hope."

Wang Xiaohua hugged Li Jianjia, no blame, no anger, only patient comforting:

"If you feel life has no fulcrum, then let me be this fulcrum for you, just live for me, okay? I only need you to live well, nothing else matters."
