The sky is so clear. An Lisi murmured as she extended her palm towards the sun.

"The rooftop is even hotter than I imagined," I said, feeling the heat from the intense sunlight overpowering the slight breeze.

"Can we change places, An Lisi?" I couldn't stand the heat and suggested to An Lisi.

"But this place is closest to the sky, isn't it?" An Lisi suddenly declared.

"Yes, it is, but I feel like I'm being cooked by this heat," I said, already drenched in sweat.

"Just endure a little longer, it will be over soon," An Lisi said as she walked towards the railing.

Is this like getting an injection? Just endure it and it will pass?

"An Lisi, aren't you hot?"

"I'm not..." An Lisi shook her head. It must be because she's wearing a hat. How irritating. I'm still wearing my winter pants. Can't she sympathize with me a little? Even though I silently protested in my mind, it would be pointless to say it out loud. An Lisi would never notice that I'm wearing winter pants.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do," I had no choice but to give up. I'll just bear with the heat. After all, I won't die from it immediately. But if I get heatstroke, that would be troublesome.

"But we should leave this place as soon as possible, heatstroke is not good," I reminded her, for both our sakes.

"Okay," An Lisi replied.

"Can I ask you a question, Yu Gege?" After a moment of silence, An Lisi suddenly asked.

"What question?"

"What would happen if your own parents abandoned you?"

"What would happen? You would just have to keep on living, right?" Why is An Lisi suddenly asking such a question?

"Is that so?"

"Isn't that the case?" An Lisi seemed unsatisfied with my answer.

"But they abandoned you," An Lisi's eyes became serious.

"Abandoned... Without them, I still have to keep on living, right? In this world, there is no choice, right? Since they were heartless enough to abandon themselves, I will show them that I can still live on by my own efforts," I said.

"That's not it," An Lisi suddenly covered her head.

"Did I say something wrong? I feel like what I said was not incorrect," I said, unable to understand her sudden change in emotions.

"That's because you are an outsider, Yu Gege. You would never understand," she said, her emotions suddenly becoming intense.

What's wrong? I took a step forward, but An Lisi leaned against the railing.

"What happened?" I asked, feeling puzzled about An Lisi's sudden change.

"My mother abandoned me, my father abandoned me, just because I'm not a boy, just because..." An Lisi burst into tears.

I couldn't entirely comprehend this. Didn't An Lisi return to being cheerful? Why does she now seem to have lost her sanity? Something is not right.

"There's no need to have any attachment to a father like that," I said.

"Is that so? Is that what you think, Yu Gege?" An Lisi's body trembled slightly.

"A father who says such things to his own daughter is irresponsible," I said.

Wasn't her father's actions that day a proof of my words?

"A father who makes his daughter rent a place to live in order to fulfill his own ambitions is unforgivable by anyone," I suddenly felt an inexplicable anger rising. If it weren't for his irresponsibility, would An Lisi have turned to drugs? Would she have this resentful attitude towards the world? I don't think so.

"Shut up!"

An Lisi yelled at me uncontrollably, and I was silenced by her scream. For a short moment, I couldn't say anything, as if something was stuck in my throat.

"I'm sorry, Brother You..." An Lisi apologized again, her tears flowing nonstop since that moment. Then a strong gust of wind blew, causing her straw hat to fly down to the floor below.

Why did the wind suddenly pick up so strongly? I couldn't help but cover my eyes, and at that moment, An Lisi slowly stood up. She placed one foot on the railing and then both feet were on the railing, with half of her feet hanging in the air.

What is she doing?!

"An Lisi!!"

"I feel so lonely. I have never truly felt that kind of family love since I was born. My mother was always busy with work, and my father's love for me was fake. He only wanted a boy. Sob sob sob," An Lisi's tears fell drop by drop onto the platform several meters below.

"But I have no regrets now. Yes, no regrets..." An Lisi said as she stepped out with one foot. "Goodbye, Brother You. Thank you for taking care of me, but I'm afraid this time I will disappoint you."

What is An Lisi doing? Although I couldn't believe what was happening in front of me until now, I didn't have time to hesitate. I rushed forward against the strong wind.

Damn it! Damn it! The wind seemed to be against me, hindering my progress.

Why did it turn out like this? It's so strange, isn't it? Really strange.

"Ahhhhhh!" I shouted.

At this moment, the strong wind irritated my eyes again, and An Lisi no longer seemed to be standing on that railing.

"Don't end your own life like this!" I took a step and grabbed her hand at the critical moment, but now her whole body was hanging in the air.

"What are you doing?!!" I said angrily.

"Maybe I shouldn't have come to this world," An Lisi said with tears still in her eyes and a helpless smile.

"Why? Aren't there still many wonderful things? Even if our parents abandon us, we should still move forward with optimism."

"I can't... I can't do it," An Lisi shook her head.

"Come up quickly!" I held onto the railing with one hand and grabbed her hand with all my strength.

"I'm sorry..." An Lisi apologized while using her other hand to hit my back, trying to make me let go.

"I won't let go, even if I die," the scorching sun made me sweat profusely. Now my brain was in chaos because of this thrilling situation, and the sweat beads on my face fell one by one to the floor several meters below. Falling down would undoubtedly mean death.

"My life is already meaningless, please, let go. If this continues, Brother You will also be pulled down by me."

"Why? Why? Were all those relaxing and enjoyable things just now fake?"

"No... they were all real. I realized that I've fallen in love with you, Brother You. Why I fell in love, I'm not quite sure."

"Are you still joking at a time like this?"

"Because I really like you, Brother You, really, truly. So, I'm sorry..." I felt my hand starting to weaken, unable to hold onto An Lisi's hand with force.

"Why, I just want to save her, why can't I do such a thing! Why!" An Lisi's hand began to slip away gradually, and I started using both hands to hold onto her, but my body was also gradually pulled down as if falling.

"Brother You, stop wasting your energy."

"You selfish jerk!! You want to free yourself and leave me behind. Since you said you love me, then live for me!!"

"Huh? Why would you say such things?"

"Because I like you." For some reason, maybe because I really wanted to save her, I blurted out these words. It might lead to a bad outcome, but I had no other choice. I couldn't just watch her die helplessly.

"I want more than just one date." I'm running out of strength, I'm exhausted!!

"So please, give me your other hand." My face muscles were visible, my face turned red.

Is it still not enough? Just when I felt desperate, Ann Lisi grabbed my arm with her other hand. Then I pulled her up with all my strength.

After stepping on the reassuring ground, I breathed heavily. This was the most tiring experience in my life. Even during the incident with Zhiye, I was fortunate to have the help of Su Yuqian. This time, it was all on me and I felt a sense of exhaustion.

"Brother You... I'm sorry." I was so tired that I almost wanted to lie down, but Ann Lisi hugged me and cried without stopping.

"It's really great that you're okay." Suddenly, I felt dizzy. It seems I got heatstroke after all. Summer can be quite annoying.
