Facing Dick’s almost expressionless questioning, Su Xiaong really wanted to learn so kind of Earth Escape Technique to run away.
Seeing that Su Xiaong still didn’t speak, Dick took a deep breath, his tone wasn’t as cold and harsh, but he seriously said to her,
"This male student is from the sa place as you, I rember."
I know you rember, but when you ordered to go up and talk down a student with psychological issues, did you think I was a psychological negotiation expert?
Anyway, I don’t have that ability, and I don’t want to wade into this muddy water.
Going up there involves a human life, and of course, Su Xiaong hoped the boy would be safe, but she had no connection to him and didn’t have any skills to bear the responsibility of such a life.
"Look around, there’s no one from our class. He’s Chinese, and you have no communication barrier with him. If I go up there, with my fast speech, if he can’t understand, do you think he might jump faster?"
"..."
Su Xiaong swallowed, thinking that Dick really understands himself quite well.
But...
What made Xiao ng a bit confused was what attitude Dick had at this mont, facing a student who climbed up the clock tower to commit suicide?
He wasn’t indifferent, but he didn’t seem too tense either.
Oh! She figured it out!
Shen Dawei definitely wasn’t the first one Dick pushed to suicide!
To say Shen Dawei was pushed to suicide by Dick might be jumping the gun, but connecting everything, Xiao ng thought it was the most reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, why would a good young man want to commit suicide for no reason?
"Since you don’t want to, then forget it."
Dick said lightly, without much intonation!
Su Xiaong was taken aback and finally spoke,
"Then, teacher, are you planning to do nothing?"
"Who said that? I’m getting ready to go up and give him a push."
"..."
Su Xiaong almost spat out blood!
This teacher...
Xiao ng clenched her fists, pacing anxiously on the spot, seeing Dick already entered the clock tower, she wanted to follow but felt it would be useless even if she did.
At this ti, a small figure swiftly followed Dick into the clock tower!
Qin Hui...
Su Xiaong blinked to make sure she didn’t see it wrong, what was that girl doing!
Unable to figure out why Qin Hui followed, Cherry ca over, not towards Su Xiaong, but towards the clock tower entrance. She said sothing to the security guard and quickly jogged into the clock tower.
Xiao ng’s mind was almost blank, and she instinctively followed!
She didn’t know why she followed, but she wanted to know what Qin Hui and Cherry were going to do!
The security guard didn’t stop Su Xiaong; she was already close to the security guard. Just now, the security guard also heard the exchange between Dick and Xiao ng.
Xiao ng didn’t wait for the elevator and went straight up the stairs. The clock tower usually housed the school history and so collections of books.
After climbing nearly ten floors, she finally stood in front of the rooftop door.
Looking around, Dick, Cherry, and Qin Hui hadn’t reached the rooftop yet, and the three of them were whispering sothing. Seeing Su Xiaong ca up...
Qin Hui was taken aback,
"Xiao ng, why did you co?"
Su Xiaong scratched her head, "I saw you follow the teacher up, do you know Shen Dawei?"
Qin Hui hurried over to answer,
"Yes, he’s my classmate, although in different classes, we’re both from Beijing University’s Foreign Language College. You should rember him too, didn’t he sit next to you during the second-round interview!"
"..."
Only then did Xiao ng vaguely rember, it seed there was such a boy.
She had no impression of his appearance, but she rembered...
The boy looked down on Qin Hui.
Qin Hui sighed,
"Although this guy always thought my dad, the dean of the foreign college, opened the door for , so he always looked down on ..."
Su Xiaong’s mouth opened slightly, realizing Qin Hui knew.
"But no matter what, we’re classmates. In a godforsaken place like London, there are already few people we know. We can’t just watch him go the wrong way."
Qin Hui made sense!
Of course, Xiao ng understood this logic too, but...
"Talk more later; first, let’s think of a way to communicate with the boy."
Cherry said.
Su Xiaong nodded and moved closer with Qin Hui.
Dick said,
"Are you all from Beijing?"
Nodding, Su Xiaong originally wanted to say she wasn’t, but at this ti, it really wasn’t the point.
"Who knows him better?"
"I do."
"I guess ?"
One was Cherry, who was a teacher.
Another was Qin Hui, who considered having so understanding from interactions.
Su Xiaong felt confused, as she was the least familiar with the boy.
Dick said to Cherry,
"Can you do it? Can you hold on until the psychology professor arrives?"
"I’ll try my best."
The University of Bath is rich in talent, and in such situations, there’s no need for external psychologists from the police or fire departnt; the university has internal resources.
Qin Hui hurriedly pointed to herself,
"Then, what should I do?"
"Just watch for now."
Dick said, and Su Xiaong didn’t ask any more, silently observing.
Her palms were sweaty, what on earth is all this?
Cherry opened the door and went out, and the cold wind on the rooftop instantly blew into their collars, making everyone shiver.
Shen Dawei turned around upon hearing the sound, and seeing Cherry, he imdiately stood up guarded,
"Don’t co over!"
"I won’t, Dawei, I’ll just stand here, the teacher is with you, the teacher just wants to talk with you."
"Talk, huh, talk about what! This world... it’s just nauseating!"
Shen Dawei snorted, his face, which seed ordinary and unremarkable, was now full of cynicism!
Through the door to the rooftop, Xiao ng saw it vaguely yet clearly.
At this mont, her heart was filled with complex emotions — what has soone been through to end up standing here, disheartened?
"Why do you say it’s nauseating?"
Cherry asked, even at such a mont, Cherry remained gentle and patient.
"Isn’t it nauseating? In this world that mocks the poor but not the prostitute, this world where money talks, this world where connections get you everything without effort! Isn’t that disgusting?"
Truly cynical...
Thought Xiao ng.
Actually, she didn’t like people like this.
A few words make themselves sound so pitiful, and the society seems so unfair.
As if he’s the most pitiful and treated most unjustly in the whole world.
"So narrow-minded."
Xiao ng muttered, not for anyone in particular to hear, just her own feelings.
Qin Hui paused, glanced back at Su Xiaong, her initial alarm and unease replaced by irritation.
Dick didn’t seem to notice what Su Xiaong said, just quietly observing the progress and then softly communicating with the firefighters who had arrived downstairs.
"So, you want to die?"
"I don’t want to die; I just want to embarrass you all! Let the whole world see! What is the University of Bath, what professors, what top majors! They’re all products driven by profit!"
"Dawei, I think you might have misunderstood sothing. If you have any dissatisfaction with the school, you can always talk to the teacher, everyone can discuss and solve it together."
"Solve? How to solve? My parents sold their house and car to support my overseas studies, and what was the result?"
"Last place... Ha, I actually ca in last!"
"Fine, didn’t Dick want to persuade to drop out? Great, I’ll make it easy for him!"
"He doesn’t have the authority to make you drop out; I can assure you of that."
Cherry said.
Shen Dawei’s eyebrows twitched, looking at Cherry, "Don’t pretend to be a people’s teacher; you’re no good either! All dolled up every day, are you here to be a teacher or a celebrity?!"
"..."
