The scene at that time, I will never forget in my life.

It was the first time I met Lin Mo. She wanted to jump into the river, and I sat beside her.

It was an evening in May 2007.

We sat on the railing by the bridge like that, the setting sun casting long shadows of us. Perhaps to onlookers, we didn't seem like we were about to jump into the river.

Instead, we looked more like a daring couple, watching the sunset.

I lit a cigarette and asked her if she smoked.

She hesitated a bit.

"I really didn't plan on saving you. I'll leave the cigarette here for you, I'll stay away from you."

I placed the cigarette and lighter in the middle between us, then moved a bit further away from her.

She also lit one, handed me the cigarette and lighter, and I took it and casually threw it into the river.

Now she completely let her guard down, believing I was also there to jump into the river.

"Why are you jumping into the river?"

I looked at her.

She hesitated, not knowing what to say.

"It's nothing, if you don't want to say, then don't. I'm just thinking I'm about to die soon, so let's chat a bit more while we can."

"My boyfriend hits me."

"I thought it was something serious. If your boyfriend hits you, just break up with him."

"I can't break up with him, he won't let me go."

I nodded, "Yeah, there are too many bastards these days."

"What about you?"

I leaned back against the railing, looking up at the sky.

"Well, my parents died when I was young, I grew up begging alone, then started stealing, fighting, robbing. Yesterday, my good buddy who grew up with me was stabbed to death. I have no reason to live, I want to go down and be with him."

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe your brother hopes you live well."

I smiled, looked at her, "You not only look good, but you're also good at persuading people. How about you? Doesn't anyone want you to keep living?"

She shook her head, "No one does."

"Oh, that's really tough, no wonder you want to die."

I flicked the cigarette butt into the river, "I'll jump first, don't regret it. If you don't jump in the end, I'll definitely haunt you as a ghost."

With that, I pushed off with my legs and leaped off the bridge over ten meters high.
