Section 5

The sweater, a pink knitted garment, fell to the ground, and half a cup of soy milk also spilled onto the floor

The cookies and milk that Jiang Sen sent you were all eaten by his dog. They are mocking you together, so wake up a little! Have you become so infatuated that you can't even read? Su Lu went to Jiang Sen to seek justice for you, so don't be ungrateful for someone's kindness... Ai Xixi expressed her feelings without holding back

Su Lu opened the voice recorder, the lonely bass

Ai Xixi picked up the sweater from the ground, dusted it off, and said: "Zhou Danna, how can you be so ungrateful! I didn't even ask Su Lu for this sweater, yet you treat it so carelessly. All you know is Jiang Sen, who values romance over friendship. Besides Jiang Sen, do you have any ambition at all!"

"In the future, do not have any more dealings with Jiang Sen, that is all," Su Lu said before turning and walking into the classroom. She did not want to say too much, and even she herself did not understand why she had saved Zhou Danna from the crowd that day; the sound of those slaps pierced her heart.

The fire truck came rushing in, with some people screaming and others calling out to advise her, but Su Lu ignored them all. The world seemed to come to a standstill as she took out a silver recording pen from her coat pocket, which had a small pendant shaped like a microphone attached to it

Zhou Danna's face flushed red, and then she turned around and rushed upstairs

Su Lu stopped in her tracks, intending to say something, but held back.

Su Lu, do not!

That is my own business; as for you, you have no right to interfere with me

Loving the wrong person once, is that considered a mistake? Who among us, in our youth and ignorance, hasn't fallen for one or two scoundrels? Is it really necessary to go to such extremes, to the point of wanting to die or jump off a building, smashing one's head against the concrete as if it were harder than life itself?

Ai Xixi, be quiet!

I want to die, just let me die, no one loves me, Jiang Sen does not love me!" Zhou Danna wants to break free from Su Lu's hand

Su Lu leaned against the wall, her head resting on it, silent

"Su Lu, you are crazy, you are crazy!" Zhou Danna pushed Su Lu, wiping away her tears forcefully.

In the last ten minutes of my life, perhaps they are still for you, Zhuo Ang, my leader, farewell

What I hear the most is this sentence

Su Lvsong released her hand, pointing at the glass shards and milk on the ground below, and said: "Alright, go ahead and jump. Is it worth it to jump off a building for someone who doesn't love you? If you jump down, your head will crack open just like this milk bottle, with your brains splattered on the ground. Aren't you scared of that?"

She rushed to Zhou Danna's side, and even Zhou Danna did not react in time. She cast a sorrowful glance at Zhou Danna, smiled faintly, and said: "I am not here to die with you, nor to share your fate. It is simply that we are two lonely people; let us keep each other company." As she spoke, she looked towards the distant sky, took a deep breath, still wearing a light smile.

Did they hit you again? I will go find them! Su Lu rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.

Is it more difficult to be awake, or is it more difficult to be anesthetized

In the end, I can still hold your hand and say goodbye

She shoved the voice recorder into Zhou Danna's hand, and in an instant, a series of actions unfolded as she climbed over the railing to jump down. In a moment of panic, Zhou Danna tightly grasped Su Lu's left hand, leaving Su Lu's body suspended in mid-air for a few seconds. She looked up at Zhou Danna, whose eyes were filled with tears.

Who do you want to fight

Why did you treat Jiang Sen that way! Why—don't you know that I like him? You know, right?

At that moment, a boy poked his head in at the classroom door and shouted: "Su Lu, someone is looking for you"

Zhou Danna was holding the sweater that Su Lu had given her and had finished half of the soy milk.

"Did you hear that? They all call me twenty bucks, just like my mom, twenty bucks!" Zhou Danna said forcefully, "Enough! I've had enough! Su Lu, listen, I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your pity, take your kindness and goodwill away.

Jiang Sen! I splashed milk and dog food all over Jiang Sen, and he gave the milk meant for the dog and the biscuits for Sibao to Zhou Danna, causing a group of people to mock her

Zhou Danna stood on the rooftop, screaming that she wanted to jump down, leaning over the railing and crying uncontrollably. Suddenly remembering something, she cried as she took out those cookies and milk from her backpack, throwing them down with all her strength.

I loved a man, and then he no longer wanted me. If you are worth twenty yuan, then I am worth nothing. Su Lu said this, then changed her tone and spoke hopefully: "Tell me, if I were to die, would he come to see me? If I died, would he cry for me?"

"Do not say anymore, Ai Xixi," Su Lu said

Su Lu, I am not afraid of being humiliated, but I fear being seen by you while I am being humiliated

"Su Lu, I return it to you, I do not want your things," Zhou Danna said, her face filled with indignation, her full lips pouting in anger

Su Lu hurriedly chased after her, fully aware of Zhou Danna's character. Those cigarette burns were shocking to behold. She did not want Zhou Danna to continue harming herself. Like the lonely cigarettes, the fine and densely packed handwriting was merely a person's solace, a person's anesthetic

Su Lu walked out of the classroom, but waiting for her at the door was not Jiang Sen and his group, but Zhou Danna

"Zhou Danna! You still have a mother; you are not me. I am an orphan, and I am even more alone than you. If you jump down, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. Since you have become my friend, why must you make me worry about you, you heartless bastard!" Su Lu cried out, her fists clenched tightly. She bent down and squatted there, overwhelmed with fear, terrified of losing Zhou Danna.

Zhou Danna, you truly cannot distinguish between right and wrong. We have mistakenly regarded you as a good friend, so do not come to us again in the future

Among the crowd of onlookers, some had called the school leaders, while others hurriedly dialed the police. Ai Xixi, terrified, could only cry and was unable to utter a single word. She understood Su Lu too well; once Su Lu had made a decision, no one could sway her.

Zhou Danna stepped closer to the railing, lifting her right foot as if to climb over it, her expression one of fearless resignation. The sneakers, with their open mouths, appeared so spirited in the wind. She turned back and shouted decisively at Su Lu: "Su Lu, you go! Those people below are all craning their necks, waiting for me to die—am I not just worth twenty yuan? No one cares about my life or death!"

The cries seemed to burst forth from the chest, sobbing, more piercing in the cold wind

She thinks that their friendship has not been in vain

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you care so much about others' opinions? You just need to know that in my eyes, you, Zhou Danna, are a good girl." Su Lu tried to reach out and pull Zhou Danna over.

I am just a worthless person, Su Lu, stay away from me, I do not deserve to be your good friend, please do not care about me, I beg you, never pay attention to me again..." Zhou Danna said, listening to the crisp sound of breaking glass, crying out.

Zhou Danna rushed into the classroom, took out her backpack, and was grabbed by Su Lu, who followed closely behind her. Zhou Danna had a look of determination on her face, her already limited dignity wounded and in tatters.

"A flirtatious man will continue to be flirtatious; don't be so foolish, he is not worth your demise," Zhou Danna said sarcastically, turning to Su Lu and making a gesture to go back, saying: "Su Lu, let's go back, we won't die, none of us will die." Zhou Danna began to cry and pleaded with Su Lu to return.

Su Lu looked at the mist gradually dispersing on the playground across from her, as fragmented sunlight fell on her face. Her long hair covered her forehead, and facing Zhou Danna, she felt a bit cruel. How should she begin to speak? Should she say, "Zhou Danna, why do you have such little self-respect?"

Such words still did not make Zhou Danna turn back; one of her legs was hanging over the railing, and a leap would mean a fall to the ground below. This was the ninth floor, and if she really jumped, there would be no hope of survival. The number of onlookers on the top floor was increasing, and Su Lu saw Jiang Sen behind her, with his left hand in the pocket of his jeans, leaning against the entrance, calmly smoking a cigarette. His indifferent gaze seemed to be watching a farce.

The sound of twenty yuan notes buzzed in her ears, exploding like a swarm of bees. She looked at Zhou Danna, whose face bore a deep red handprint, and Zhou Danna's eyes were filled with an impending sorrow.

It turns out that youth is so painful, much more than one could imagine

Su Lu did not know where her sudden drive came from; at that moment, she could hardly believe herself for making such a decision

Su Lu stood there, feeling quite confused. Instead of waiting for Jiang Sen to come and trouble her, she inadvertently angered Zhou Danna. Around her, classmates passed by, whispering and giggling: "Twenty yuan, isn't this the twenty yuan from the dance class?"
