Chapter 49 Hey you, please move aside.
Chapter 49 Hey you, please move aside.
"Um--"
Ye Kai grunted softly, not daring to speak.
His body was dragged forward a long way by the white shadow, but fortunately he was stopped by the railing, preventing him from falling off the rooftop with the white shadow.
Nevertheless, the opponent's weight, combined with the momentum generated by the high-speed impact, consumed a lot of Ye Kai's strength. His left arm bore a load of about 100 pounds, and his upper arm muscles felt a tearing pain. His grip strength was also under tremendous strain.
"ah--"
"Someone jumped off a building!"
The slow-witted Xixi finally realized what was happening and shouted loudly.
Ye Kai wanted to call him over for help, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.
He's holding on by sheer willpower right now; if he lets his guard down, he'll inevitably lose control, and the consequences are obvious.
"Big brother!"
"I am coming!"
Fortunately, Xixi wasn't completely brainless. After shouting, he realized that Ye Kai was under tremendous pressure, both physically and mentally.
Saving someone and failing to save them will leave very different marks on the heart of a public-spirited person.
If he could watch a vibrant life slip through his fingers and fall into eternal damnation, it would be a tremendous blow to Ye Kai's psyche.
"Don't panic, hold on tight!"
Xixi climbed over the railing and grabbed Ye Kai's other ankle, finally relieving some of the immense pressure Ye Kai was under.
"Someone come here!"
"Help!"
"Someone's threatening to jump off the roof!"
After catching their breath, the two began to shout loudly.
……
The weather was slightly cool, but not cold at all.
Most of the boys would go to the convenience stores around the campus to buy things, or vent their energy on the basketball courts, horizontal bars, and parallel bars around the playground.
The girls would hold hands and stroll around the campus, whispering and complaining about which teacher liked to tutor pretty girls, which class had handsome boys, and so on, before continuing to hold hands and go to the restroom.
The night wind finally carried Ye Kai and Wei Junjie's cries for help downstairs.
"ah--"
"Someone is going to jump off a building!"
"Look! Who's that? They've fallen off the rooftop!"
"Help! Help them quickly!"
The students downstairs noticed a white figure dangling in mid-air on the rooftop, and immediately erupted into chaos.
Some people ran to call the teacher, while others rushed upstairs, wanting to lend a hand.
"Who is rescuing people?"
"Ye Kai!"
"I see clearly now, it's Ye Kai who caught them, the top student who scored 139 on the Chinese exam!"
"Oh, you're asking who that person next to is? He looks like that guy from Ye Kai's class!"
The bolder girls gathered downstairs, chattering amongst themselves. Even though the night was dim, they could still recognize Ye Kai's somewhat handsome face.
Some of the female students even took photos of them with their phones, intending to record this thrilling moment.
Ye Kai had no doubt that within minutes, the story and photos of him and his classmate Xixi bravely rescuing the classmate who was about to jump off the building would appear on the school's website and even on the Xinghua City online forum.
"Damn it!"
"Do I have absolutely no presence?"
Xixi, who had become a background character, was very depressed, but she was busy saving people and could only ignore the whispers of these bored female classmates.
By this time, the teachers had already rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Teacher Zhou?!"
"How could it be her?!"
"Quickly, help save them!"
Some of them had sharp eyes and recognized the white figure at a glance, and were shocked.
The person who jumped off the building was none other than Zhou Xiaoli, a music teacher who had just been admitted to Xinghua No. 1 Middle School this year. She had been working there for less than half a year, so how could such a thing happen?
"Help! Save them!"
The newly appointed school leader was covered in cold sweat, but didn't bother to wipe it away.
By this time, a considerable number of people had gathered on the rooftop, and they finally managed to pull Teacher Zhou Xiaoli, who had attempted suicide by jumping off the building, back up.
Perhaps due to the intense emotional stimulation, coupled with the blood rushing to his head from being upside down, Teacher Zhou had already lost consciousness, thus avoiding the embarrassment of being surrounded by onlookers after his failed attempt to jump.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"
With their burdens lifted, Ye Kai and Wei Junjie collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily with their mouths agape like dead fish.
That scene was indeed thrilling and dangerous, with life and death hanging in the balance. Ye Kai is still a bit shaken and can't quite process it.
If he had been a step later, Ms. Zhou would have already fallen headfirst onto the concrete ground below, and given the sturdiness of the school building, her head would probably be inside her abdomen.
"That was close!"
Thinking of this situation, Ye Kai gasped in shock, then secretly felt fortunate.
But this didn't happen before I was reborn, did it?
Thinking that this incident was something he had never experienced before, Ye Kai frowned.
Could it be that my rebirth has already caused some disturbance to this timeline, thereby indirectly changing the fate of some people?
"But I wonder... if my Bitcoins will ever reach $100000 each?"
"If this situation also changes due to my rebirth, then I'd better hurry up and make money, otherwise how can I just lie around doing nothing in the future?"
Thinking about all the possibilities of things getting out of control, Ye Kai was no longer so calm. He felt that he could be more proactive in dealing with this world.
Let's set a small goal first: get into a good 985 university.
Let's set another small goal: to save more than nine figures during college.
While doing so, they can also establish a few physical businesses to make a living and increase their social influence.
One shouldn't be too greedy; it's fine as it is for now...
Ye Kai was lying there lost in thought when he saw a group of school leaders and teachers finally climb up to the rooftop, panting, and surround the two of them.
"Which class are you from?"
"You did a great job today!"
The new principal didn't know Ye Kai and hadn't heard any of the legends about him, but that didn't stop him from developing a great liking for Ye Kai and feeling grateful.
If it weren't for the timely intervention of these two students, Xinghua No. 1 Middle School would have been on the news again tonight.
"This is Ye Kai from Mr. Wang Fusheng's class, a top ten student in the senior year."
"The student who scored 139 on the Chinese exam."
An unnamed teacher nearby immediately provided the principal with crucial information.
"So you're Ye Kai, the top student!"
"Good, good, good! You have direction on your journey to the college entrance exam, and you're ready to take responsibility in crucial moments!"
"Truly a model student, excelling in both moral character and academics... Ah, a well-rounded individual!"
The principal almost misspoke, turning Ye Kai into an old artist, but thankfully he realized his mistake in time and replaced it with an awkward academic term.
He has only been the principal for less than a week, and this has happened. If word gets out, what will the leaders who promoted him think?
It's no exaggeration to say that tonight, Ye Kai and this certain classmate saved his career.
"Excuse me, could you move aside?"
"Let's have the principal and Ye Kai take a photo together!"
A sycophant standing nearby, holding a Nikon SLR camera, shoved Xixi, who was lying on the ground panting, aside and then snapped a picture.
