"Do you know why people live?" Jacob walked to the guardrail, where the woman sat. In order not to
make the woman suspicious, Jacob deliberately sat more than one meter away from the woman.
"Why? I asked myself this question again and again. " The woman seemed to be lost in thought. Every
time she was disappointed, she would think about this question again and again.
Maybe for herself, maybe for others. Maybe it was an experience, or something else.
"I think people live for some kind of belief. However, most people lost their faith as they live on. So
many people end up wondering why they live. " Jacob lowered his head and looked at his toes, feeling
the strong wind at the edge of the guardrail.
The woman looked back at the crowd downstairs. They were as small as ants. Were the people of the
underclass all living like ants?
"Only you could talk about faith. For people like us, just living is exhausting." The woman was a little
fierce. Every time she thought about this, her hatred of the rich would reveal without any cover.
Jacob glanced at the woman, not angry. Life is always difficult. When you think it's easy, someone must
share the difficulty for you.
"No, it's just the difficulties in life that made me feel that people need faith, which is like a beam of light
in life. No matter how dark you are situated, you can still see hope. "
Jacob looked at the crowd downstairs thoughtfully. Although they were all watching other people's life,
they may had different beliefs.
"In fact, I can see that you are different from others. To be honest, I have never seen such an
expression in anyone's eyes," the woman lowered her head and glanced at Jacob from time to time.
She had found something on Jacob which she had never seen on anyone else. Regardless of reasons
and situations, she felt that the person in front of her was different from others. And that feeling was so
strong.
"Why did you want to die?" Jacob turned around and asked the woman. His expression was so calm
and soft that the woman felt improper to get angry with him.
Why? She had lost her husband and was in deep grief. The answer was so clear, making the question
stupid.
"Don't you feel that you're asking something ridiculous? My husband is dead. I can't live alone now. I
want to revenge on you. " The woman blurted out her thoughts without hesitation.
Now, she was almost fearless. What could frighten a person who wanted to give up her life?
"Well, do you live a happy life?" Jacob asked abruptly. Maybe it was just another stupid question in the
woman's eyes.
But this time, the woman stopped and said nothing. "You know, losers have no right to be happy."
Jacob looked straight into the distance, without looking at the woman. The woman's words were full of
pessimism.
"What's your name?" Jacob suddenly asked.
The woman's face was full of shock. What was the point of asking this at this time?
Jacob turned around and stared at the woman's face. Her face was pale and haggard in the wind, and
there were deep wrinkles on it. But he could tell that she must be a beauty when she was young.
"Chloe," the woman raised her head, as if she wanted to show her grace.
Jacob took a look at the woman. Such an extreme person had such a spiritual name.
"Must you die here now? Do you know how painful it is to fall down from here? Do you know how
terrible death is? " Jacob tried to persuade her, but it seemed that he was just expressing his opinion.
"Don't talk big. I'm not even afraid of death. How could I afraid of pain?" Chloe glanced at Jacob
indifferently, as if he was unreasonable.
"I have experienced death." Jacob frowned deeper and deeper. Thinking of Andy, he felt like there was
a thorn in his heart that could not be pulled out.
"What you have experienced doesn't count. He is not your family member." The woman seemed to
gain interest to talk with Jacob. Anyway, she was going to die. It's not a big fault for her to say a few
more words.
"Really? My mother died at my early age. I didn't know how sad I was at that time. " Jacob raised his
neck and felt sore in his throat.
The woman's eyes widened. No one could escape fate in the world. However, she thought that Jacob
must be an innocent young lord born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Maybe he didn't know about the
sufferings in the world, and maybe he didn't know about the pain of others.
"Do you think I will sympathize with you?" The woman looked at Jacob coldly. Now, he could say
anything just to persuade her from suicide.
"Do I look like I need your sympathy?" Jacob retorted. Everyone had his own pain. Even if he didn't say
it, it didn't mean that he had no pain at all.
Some of the pain was invisible. He would only live in his memory and torture himself again and again.
Besides that, what's the point of gaining sympathy from others?
The woman snorted, "Then what do you mean?"
Although she said so, the tone of her voice was much softer. Perhaps she was just overwhelmed by
sadness at the beginning. She just felt that god was unfair and someone had to be responsible for her
miserable life.
"Maybe it's right for you to not have a baby. Some people did suffer a lot since they came to this world.
No one can escape from his fate. Anyway, there are always people who have deep hatred resulted
from misfortune. " Jacob put his hand in the pocket. His hand was so cold after blowing for too long.
"You are talking about me?" The woman felt that Jacob was referring to her.
"Not really. There are so many different people in this world. Different people may have different
choices based on their experience. I cannot say that your choice is wrong, but I just feel that you
should have better choices. " Jacob looked down at his shoes again.
"Then what should I do? I have nothing now," the woman lowered her voice, as if she had lost her
extreme emotions just now.
"Think about your husband. He certainly doesn't want you to follow him to die just because of the
accident he suffered. If something happens to you, and your husband commit suicide and go with you.
What do you think? " Jacob continued to persuade the woman.
"No, I won't allow my husband to commit suicide." The woman suddenly thought of her husband's face.
Even if she died in some accident, she didn't want her husband to go with her.
"That's it. It's useless for you to die now. " Jacob pursed his lips, as if saying that what I said was so
persuasive.
"You are being ridiculous. You're setting a trap," the woman suddenly became a little excited and
tightened her clothes. In fact, she also felt cold
"You know what? Death is not scary at all. What's scary is to live, as you need to face difficulties in your
life. " Jacob paused. He didn't know if he would irritate the woman in front of him if he said what he
thought, but he just wanted to say it.
Some words were stuck in his throat. He needed to say it out. Only when he said it out would he feel
comfortable. He hadn't thought whether the woman in front of him would listen to him.
"You are right. I am just afraid of living," the woman suddenly felt a little sad. She didn't expect that
Jacob would find out her weakness so easily.
The reason for people who tried to kill themselves were mostly those who were afraid of the future.
They commit suicide because only death could relieve everything naturally.
"What kind of death have you experienced? Is there any unspeakable pain in your life?" The woman
took a glance at Jacob. She concealed the curiosity in her eyes.
Jacob sighed slightly, which made people feel indescribably sad. It turned out that such a person would
also suffer.
"You know this is the world. Everyone was just struggling to survive. And I'm just one of them. I don't
think I'm special enough to avoid these pain. " Jacob said in a manner of self-talking.
He had never spoken his heart to anyone, but he didn't expect it to be so sad.
"Have you ever thought of dying then?" There was a complicated look in her eyes. Was it an illusion?
She always felt that the man at the top of the food chain shouldn't be like this.
