The moment when Jane jumped down, Quincy rushed over. Without thinking, he also jumped into the water.
Fortunately, Quincy could swim. He grabbed Jane's clothes and tried his best to swim towards the shore.
"What are you doing? Let me die!" Quincy grabbed Jane. Jane wanted to break free from Quincy's hand, but Quincy would not let go once he grabbed her. In the end, with great effort, Quincy finally pulled Jane back to the shore safely.
"Why did you save me? Why didn't you let me die?" Jane sat on the grass beside the lake and said sadly.
Jane was wet, and her clothes were tightly pasted on her body, outlining her delicate body, making her look exceptionally pitiful.
"Why did I save you?" Quincy calmed down. He really couldn't understand Jane's actions and thoughts. "You can commit suicide. But have you ever thought about your parents? Who will support them in the future? The country has nurtured you for so many years. In the end, is this how you repay the society? You are such an idiot!"
Quincy wanted to awaken Jane's desire for survival!
Hearing Quincy's words, Jane was shocked. She hugged her knees and wasn't as excited as before.
"You said that you weren't even afraid of death. Why don't you have the courage to live?" Quincy's attitude softened.
Jane looked up at Quincy with her big watery eyes.
Her eyes shone brightly. It looked so heartbreaking. Quincy suddenly had a feeling that this weak girl was not what he had imagined.
"If I can survive, I will not choose to die." Jane's tone was filled with helplessness.
Quincy enthusiastically asked, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. Perhaps I can help you."
Looking at Quincy's sincere gaze, Jane felt that he really wanted to help her. A warmth rose in the depths of her heart. She felt comfortable.
"You can't help me." Thinking of her own situation, Jane's heart cooled down again.
"Just tell me. Trust me. I will definitely be able to help you!" Wasn't it easy for Quincy, a rich kid to help her?
"Thanks. I'm really grateful that you have such thoughts!" Jane smiled faintly. She felt that this stranger in front of her was so nice.
"Alright." Quincy sighed and said seriously, "However, I hope you can promise me that you won't do such a foolish thing again."
"I promise," Jane said.
Only then did Quincy feel relieved. He pulled Jane up from the ground and said, "Oh right, you shouldn't buy such expensive food in the future. You can't afford it."
Jane blushed and looked down slightly. She tugged at the corner of her clothes with both hands and whispered, "Actually, I don't eat more than 10 yuan a day. Today, I thought it was my final day this world, so I took the courage to order seafood rice at Good Food...."
Hearing Jane's soft voice, Quincy couldn't help but relent. "Then why did you order two?"
"I think that 200 yuan for a meal is too extravagant for me. In order to feel better, I haven't eaten for the past two days. I'm very hungry, so I ordered two." Jane's voice became softer and softer.
"So that's what it is?" Looking at Jane who was embarrassed, Quincy felt that she was cute.
"Come here!" Jane pulled Quincy and walked back to the stone where the seafood rice was placed. She smiled warmly at Quincy, then picked up a box of seafood rice and brought it to Quincy. "Here you are."
"No need. Aren't you hungry?" Quincy rejected.
Jane raised her chin and said, "You can eat it. I just knew that I could only eat a bowl of rice for one meal. I'm already full now."
"Alright then." Quincy took the lunch box and sat down on the stone to eat.
Quincy ate and Jane watched him. He felt a bit embarrassed, "Take a seat."
"Alright." Jane sat beside Quincy. Quincy had put in a lot of effort just now. He was hungry. He enjoyed the food and he didn't know that the grains of cooked rice stuck to his face. Jane helped Quincy take them off. Quincy was shocked, and he had a strange feeling in his heart, "Thank you."
Quincy and Jane chatted while he was eating. Only then did Quincy know that Jane had knelt down to his mother in his hometown in the Northeast, asking her to forgive him for being unfilial.
Quincy finished his meal quickly. There was something special between them.
"Well, can I meet you at this time tomorrow?" Quincy scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Jane impressed Qunicy. He felt the urge in his heart to protect this girl. If he didn't see her in the future, Quincy would feel empty.
Jane did not expect that Quincy would ask such a question. There were bright pink patches on her cheeks.
