January 18th, 2019.
It was rare that Li Xu did not laze around in bed. He went out for a walk early in the morning.
That night, SKT would be facing off against AFS, the second seed of the LCK division, at Lolpark. Li Xu would also be facing off against Kiin, who was probably the best top laner in the LCK division.
Breathing in the cool air of Seoul stimulated his brain that had rested for a night.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Li Xu shivered. Then, he stood on a small path by the roadside and lifted his legs dozens of times. The rapid movement of his muscles warmed up his body.
What top laner in Korea? They were all paper tigers. Watch me, Master Xu, beat you up!
Li Xu was like a samurai who was about to face off against his opponent. He adjusted his breathing and pace, striving to reach the perfect state.
Of course, this was what Li Xu felt. In the eyes of the passersby, Li Xu was probably a retard.
He was wearing thick clothes, and it did not seem like he had woken up early to train. Instead, he was lifting his legs like he was convulsing by the roadside. If he was not a retard, what was he?
Li Xu did not care about the gazes of the passersby. He slowly walked along the small path.
As he walked, he looked around. The streets of Seoul in the morning were no different from the big cities in China. Most of them were office workers who were in a hurry. Some of them were eating breakfast while waiting for the bus to arrive. Some of them lowered their heads and hurried to the subway station.
Then, there were the old people who woke up early to train. They were not in a hurry. They chatted while jogging, enjoying the leisure of life.
Most of the old people who were training were wearing thin clothes, while the young people were wrapped up like dumplings.
Li Xu sighed at the worrying physical fitness of the young people nowadays. He pulled up his collar to block the cold wind that was drilling into his neck.
Li Jiu strolled leisurely, and a young couple who were exercising in the morning ran past him.
Why did he say they were a couple? If they were not a couple, then what were they? It was even more impossible for them to be husband and wife. Which married couple would have the time to run together in the morning to show off their love?
This stickiness was disgusting! Young people should be more mindful of their surroundings. Be careful not to get hit by cars on the streets!
Li Xu muttered softly behind them. Looking at the two holding hands in front of him, his eyes were filled with envy and jealousy.
After leisurely walking for nearly two kilometers, Li Xu arrived at the Han River. From afar, he could already see the Yanghua Bridge.
The wind by the river seemed to be colder. Li Xu retracted his chin into his collar and prepared to walk a few dozen meters along the path by the river before returning home.
Beside the Han River, there was a short, white stone fence. Inside the stone path, there was a willow tree with drooping branches every three to five steps.
However, the current season was completely different from the willow trees in his memory. All the leaves had fallen off, leaving only the bare branches, which would only sprout new buds in spring.
"Hmm?"
From afar, Li Xu saw a figure standing behind a railing by the river. The figure was clinging to the railing, looking at the river in a daze.
"Is she trying to commit suicide by jumping into the river?"
Li Xu was puzzled. The railing by the river was very short, not even reaching a person's waist. If one turned over, they would fall. In such a cold day, who would come here early in the morning to look at the river?
Although it was a very cool thing to do, it was something that Cao Cao would do. Cao Cao probably wouldn't do it in this season. Moreover, the wind was too bone-piercing. No matter how thick one's clothes were, they couldn't help but shiver when the wind blew.
Looking at the figure, it should be a girl. The girl was wearing a cap and a thick down jacket, staring at the river.
Does she really want to commit suicide? Did something happen to her? Did she have a big fight with her family and run away from home? Or did she meet a playboy boyfriend who cheated on her? Or did her evil male boss sleep with her?
Just thinking about it is exciting. No, just thinking about it makes one sad.
Li Xu was more and more certain of his guess. The main thing was that this river was the Han River, the famous Holy Land of Suicide.
Just the Han River Bridge alone, from January to September last year, there were 479 people who committed suicide by jumping off the bridge. On average, there were 2 people jumping off the bridge every day.
This was only the number of suicides on the Han River Bridge. There were a total of 24 bridges on the Han River. This showed how stressful the lives of Koreans were.
Feng Yu looked left and right, and there was no one around. It seems that other than him, no one else could save this life.
Li Xu felt a weight on his shoulders. It was as if he had a mission. That was the weight of a life.
Hmmm … I must not provoke her!
Li Xu tiptoed to the back of the girl and then grabbed the girl's down jacket.
"Don't move!"
"Ah! What are you doing? Bastard! Let go of me! "
The girl screamed.
"Don't do this, girl. You must not do this."
Li Xu ignored the girl's struggle and dragged her to the back, away from the railing by the river.
"The weather is so cold, and it will be very cold if you jump down. Why don't you come back when you are warm?"
The girl was stunned and stopped struggling: "What did you say?"
"Don't lose your confidence in life. Are you dumped by someone? Or did your boyfriend run away with someone else? Were you harmed by a perverted boss? Or is it? "
Li Xu saw the girl had stopped struggling, but he still grabbed the girl's jacket and kept nagging.
"Stop!"
The girl interrupted him.
Li Xu shut his mouth and looked at the girl. What are you doing? I am trying to comfort you. I saved a life with my own hands. I am so cool!
"Do you think I want to jump into the river?"
The girl looked at Li Xu. Her face under the white cap was very delicate, and Li Xu felt that she was familiar.
Looking at the girl's expression, Li Xu knew that he might have done something stupid. But he was stubborn.
Li Jiu said confidently, "Don't you want to jump? Then why are you standing here so early in the morning? Don't you know that people will misunderstand you? "
"I am just waiting for someone here." The girl explained.
"Waiting for someone?" Li Xu raised his voice. "Do you know how dangerous your actions are? Is this a place to wait for someone? You should retreat beyond the safety line. Don't you have any common sense? "
At this moment, Li Xu was like the traffic police uncle who caught him running a red light when he was young and taught him a lesson.
The girl probably felt that she was in the wrong and did not say anything.
"Min Ya."
A gentle female voice sounded. Li Xu felt that it was familiar.
The girl raised her head.
Li Xu looked at the girl who was walking towards him. Her face was delicate, and her eyes were charming.
He remembered that these two people were the two artists he had met at the Hongda Café last time.
"You are, you are …"
Li Xu looked at the girl in front of him and wanted to greet her.
But the awkward thing was that he could not remember her name.
