Chapter 2912: Chapter 2912: Sarcasm from the System
Lin Yi’s words deeply moved Xu Chunyu.
He looked again at the person standing on the rooftop.
"What you said makes sense, but I still don’t quite understand this feeling."
"That’s normal," Lin Yi said, smiling:
"You’re not her, so you can’t empathize and naturally won’t understand. Just focus on our job."
"Okay."
The two of them stood below, staring at the girl attempting suicide on the rooftop, adjusting the position of the air mattress continuously.
A crowd had gathered around; even though they were strangers, their faces were filled with concern.
In that moment, Lin Yi seemed to understand the true meaning of the system.
While it brought him rewards, it also made him understand the myriad aspects of life.
His life wasn’t the real deal; theirs was.
At the same time, on the rooftop, Ding Fei and others stood about five meters away from the girl, cautiously trying to get closer.
"Miss, try to think positively; if there’s anything troubling you, you can talk to me," Liu Qingfeng advised.
The girl on the rooftop was not very tall, slightly chubby, with a blank expression, looking ashen.
"You don’t have to persuade me. I just want some peace," the girl said calmly:
"Don’t come any closer, or I’ll jump from here."
"Alright, alright, we won’t move," Liu Qingfeng said:
"Don’t you think doing something like this over a man is irrational? You have parents and friends; you should think about them."
"My family disapproves of us being together. To be with him, I’ve broken ties with them and ended up being conned out of 200,000. My family won’t help me anymore."
"But you can find someone new. You’re young, and a brighter future awaits you," Ding Fei added.
"No, no one will like me again."
"Don’t say that. How about this, I’ll introduce you to someone," Ding Fei said:
"How about my colleague over there? He’s single, and he mentioned that you’re just his type."
Liu Qingfeng: ???
You sold me out!
That’s not my type!
Ding Fei ignored all that and took off Liu Qingfeng’s helmet.
"Take a look at this guy from our team; not bad, right?" Ding Fei said:
"He’s been pursued by many over the years, but never met the right one until now. Meeting you shows fate."
To save a life, Ding Fei threw his teammate under the bus.
And Liu Qingfeng had no choice; saving a life was more important than anything else.
Just sacrifice appearance a bit.
The girl looked back at Liu Qingfeng, her face extremely grave.
"But he’s not my type, not good-looking."
Liu Qingfeng: ???
Ding Fei: ???
Hearing this, the police and firefighters fell silent.
"Don’t worry, our firefighting team has other single guys who will surely meet your satisfaction."
Saying this, Ding Fei picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Lin Yi, come up here for a bit."
"Okay."
About a minute later, Lin Yi came up from the stairwell.
Before he could ask what was going on, Ding Fei dragged him over.
"Miss, what do you think of him? No one in our department is as good-looking as him. Plus, he’s been single for years, hasn’t even had a girlfriend."
Lin Yi: ???
What’s with this tactic?
"And let me tell you, we talked before, and he revealed to me that you’re his ideal type, so much so that he’d smile in his sleep dreaming of meeting someone like you."
Lin Yi: ...
Hearing Ding Fei’s words, the girl turned back to look at him and was instantly impressed.
"Is he really single?"
"Truly, I never lie," Ding Fei said:
"You two would be a perfect match, truly heaven-made."
As he spoke, Ding Fei nudged Lin Yi.
Lin Yi awkwardly laughed, feeling numb all over.
"Our squad leader is right."
The girl beamed with joy, eyes gleaming.
"If he wants to be with me, he must agree to my terms."
"Alright, alright, tell us your terms; he can meet them," Ding Fei persuaded.
"But my conditions are a bit high. I don’t know if he can do it."
"He must be able to, meeting you is his fortune. Even if he has to sell property, he’d do it to meet your demands."
As he spoke, Ding Fei nudged Lin Yi again.
"Say something; why are you stalling?"
Lin Yi: ...
I don’t want to say anything, just want to whack you over the head.
"Yes, yes, my leader is right. Meeting you is a fortune earned over eight lifetimes; come down now."
"I can’t come down yet, I haven’t stated my conditions," the girl stubbornly replied.
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
"To be with me, there must be a 100 square meter apartment in the city center, an imported car worth over a million, 660,000 as bride price, no living with parents after marriage, and I’m afraid of pain, so I don’t want kids. All your earning must be spent by me, with pocket money allocated as per my mood. Can you do this?"
After hearing her demands, everyone present, male or female, fell even more silent.
"With the looks of this guy, girls willing to pay must be lined up, how does she dare to say such things?" said a female officer leading the negotiation.
"Perhaps it’s the breakup and heartbreak that have left her speaking nonsensically."
"It’s truly hard on him..."
"Okay."
Ding Fei said with a pained expression:
"He agrees to everything, just come down now. Don’t just give you the paycheck, he’d give his life too."
"He has to promise me first before I come down."
"Alright, alright, I promise you, just come down," Lin Yi reluctantly said.
"You said it; let’s get married now."
"Don’t just stand there, say something," Ding Fei softly reminded.
"Leader, you can make me sell out my looks, but not my dignity; I can’t do this."
"Saving a life surpasses building a seven-story pagoda; at this crucial moment, what does dignity matter? Saving her is more important than anything else."
Lin Yi exhaled, continuously building his mental resolve, and said:
"Alright, I promise you, do whatever you want once you come down."
"Alright then, it’s settled."
Saying so, the girl slowly turned around and jumped back onto the rooftop.
The people lying in wait quickly tackled her, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"You let me go; we still need to get married," she said.
Lin Yi shivered, covered in goosebumps, and hurried back to the stairwell.
He was feeling quite overwhelmed.
At this moment, the system’s prompt sounded.
