It was a midsummer morning. Although the sun was shining on the tall buildings of the city, the city was still fresh and cool because of the heavy rain that had just washed over the city last night.
Gao Tian had worked the night shift and planned to rush home to have a good sleep. He walked briskly on the sidewalk of the clean and beautiful Xinhua Avenue in Turtle City, breathing in the rare moist air. As he walked, he exercised gently and soon arrived at Walmart. The newly built Walmart Commercial Building had eighteen floors and seven floors. It was gorgeous and glorious. The shopping mall had been open for less than half a year, but business was booming. At this time, the mall had just opened. Other than the employees who were working, there were no customers. Although the square in front of the mall was not very spacious, it was still much wider than other areas with only sidewalks. The merchants had also installed many seats for customers to relax on the green belt side of the sidewalk. At night, there would be many citizens sitting here to enjoy the shade. Because it was Saturday, there were few people walking on the sidewalk. Gao Tian was usually busy with work and had never visited this newly opened mall. It was rare for him to have a holiday today, so he naturally wanted to get close to the door to take a look.
Suddenly, he felt something very light floating down from the top of his head. He looked down and saw a few scattered rose petals on the ground. "Who is the one scattering flowers?"
He raised his head and saw more petals floating towards his face. He looked up. "Hey, who is doing this?"
His shout made several pedestrians on the road raise their heads to look up. On the edge of the balcony on the seventh floor of the Walmart building, a woman in red stood in the golden sunlight. She was wearing a long blood-red dress and a white shawl. Her long and straight hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, gently fluttering in the breeze. She was carrying a basket in one hand and the other hand was stretching out from the white gauze. She was waving her jade-like arm under the sun and slowly scattering petals that were the same color as her red dress into the air. Her slender and elegant appearance really looked like a fairy.
At first, Gao Tian thought that it was a Walmart promotion show, but after a closer look, he felt that something was wrong. The woman was clearly standing on the parapet wall, and from below, he could clearly see her white high heels hidden in her red dress. As long as he was not careful, the woman would immediately fall down the stairs.
"Hurry up and go down. It's dangerous!"
Out of professional sensitivity, Gao Tian felt that there was definitely something wrong with that woman. "Could it be that she wants to jump off the building?"
He strode into the mall." Manager, quick, where is your manager? Quick, something is going to happen."
The mall manager rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Did you arrange for people to scatter flowers on the roof? Hurry up and tell them to withdraw. It's too dangerous. Someone might die.”
"Where? We didn't arrange for anyone to go up to the roof.”
"Quick, take me to the roof." Gao Tian rushed to the top floor under the manager's lead while calling the police.
"Brother, quickly bring people to Walmart and gather enough air cushions to save people.”
At this moment, a group of people gathered in front of Walmart Square. Everyone looked up at the sky. The petals were still falling slowly. Petals floated on the faces of many people. "Look, the goddess is scattering flowers!"
"What the hell? What if you fall?"
"I think she's deliberately jumping down.”
"She jumped off a building? Such a good-looking girl, no way, right?”
"It looks like he's definitely trying to jump off the building."
"Hurry up and call the police."
The onlookers below were discussing animatedly, not understanding whether this red-dressed woman was acting or trying to jump off a building.
Gao Tian rushed to the top floor. The top floor was smooth and flat, and there were some fitness facilities. It was obviously a balcony for the mall's employees to exercise and relax. On the balcony, there were a few large plastic bags of flower petals by the woman's feet. The woman had already jumped off the parapet wall to put in a second basket of flower petals. After filling up the flower basket, she wanted to stand on the edge of the wall and scatter it again.
Gao Tian intended to approach her.
"Hey, danger! Come down quickly! Do you want to die?"
The woman turned around.
"Don't come over! Don't disturb me from laying the red carpet!"
Gao Tian saw the face of a young woman, a charming and sad face. She was about twenty years old, and her long red dress made her slim body look even thinner. The woman didn't even look at Gao Tian. She just turned around and stood by her daughter's wall to scatter flower petals. However, the moment she turned around, Gao Tian could clearly see a few teardrops on her long eyelashes.
"Hey, hey, I said…"
Gao Tian was afraid that she would get emotional and did not dare to get too close. He also signaled for the other people who followed him not to come over. He just kept reminding her,"Be careful, don't fall down."”
After a while, the woman's petals were scattered until there was only one bag left. At this moment, a call came from below.
"Captain Gao, the cushion is already in place, but I don't know if it will work.”
Gao Tian wasn't sure if this woman would just finish scattering the flowers or jump down. To be on the safe side, he approached the woman and said,"Can I help you?"
The woman turned her head. Her face was pale, and although there were tears, she was very quiet. "Thank you for sending me off." As he spoke, the corners of his mouth curled up into a bitter smile.
Her smile made Gao Tian feel sad.
"You won't do anything stupid, will you, girl?" he said uneasily. Nothing was more important than his life.”
As he spoke, he reached out to pull her back. However, the woman reacted quickly and immediately made way for him.
"Don't touch me, touch me, and I'll go down immediately!”
Gao Tian was afraid of any mishaps and did not dare to attack again.
"Young lady, don't do anything stupid. Think about your parents, think about your loved ones, think about your lover, how sad they will be!”
But the woman treated him as air.
After the woman finished scattering the last handful of petals, she threw the basket away and said,"He Junsheng, I won't let you off after I become a ghost!"”Then, he stood on the parapet.
Gao Tian was so frightened that he was about to grab the woman when she suddenly screamed," No…My flower petals, my red carpet! Who touched my petals, my red carpet…"
With just this excitement, the red-robed woman's body flashed and she descended. It was too late to say, but it was too fast. Gao Tian reached out his hand and grabbed the air, then pushed it back. Because at this moment, he suddenly saw that the place where the woman fell was the edge of the rescue net. He's trying to push her a little more in the middle."
" Ah…" The audience screamed.
"Captain! Captain!" There was another round of exclamations from upstairs and downstairs.
Because Gao Tian had used too much strength, he lost his balance and fell down the stairs.
Fortunately, Gao Tian's palm strike and the policemen had also pulled a net over the air cushion. When the woman in red and Gao Tian fell, they broke the net but also landed in the middle of the air cushion. However, the two of them were still unconscious after landing.
The waiting ambulance quickly sent the injured to the hospital.
The two of them were sent to the same ward after emergency treatment.
The doctor said that the woman was fine. She only had a slight concussion and would wake up in a while. Miraculously, the baby in her belly was safe and sound after falling from such a high altitude. "However, her body is very weak. She needs to be nourished well. Where are her family members?" The doctor asked the police officer who was guarding the ward.
"At present, we have no way to confirm the identity of this woman. We have no way to find anyone related to her. We can only wait for her to wake up."
Gao Tian's injuries were much more serious. Because when he landed, he actually turned around and hugged the woman in the air. When he landed on the ground, he was under the woman. Gao Tian's concussion was much more serious, probably due to the collision of their heads. Moreover, he had a fracture in his lumbar spine and cervical spine. He would not be able to move for ten days to half a month.
"Isn't this Bai Yunge, the winner of last year's Xianhai Cup Dance Competition?" a nurse suddenly asked. Why would she jump off a building?"
"Are you sure?"
"I watched the live broadcast of that match. At that time, she was still a university student. It can't be wrong."
"Which school?"
"I can't remember."
The police quickly sent people to the various colleges and universities in the city to investigate.
Half an hour later, White Cloud Pigeon woke up with a headache. She looked around.
"Oh, my head is dizzy. Where am I?"
"Miss, you're awake. You fell from such a high building. Fortunately, the police rescued you successfully. Otherwise, you wouldn't be alive. Girl, why are you so silly? She was so young and beautiful. If she didn't live well, what was she looking for? Look, my son is still lying here unconscious in order to save you. Miss, aren't you harming people?"
The person who spoke was Gao Tian's mother, Xia Yuhong. She was the director of the hospital's pediatrics department. Gao Tian's father, Gao Pengfei, was standing beside his bed. He was the director of the local tax bureau. Gao Tian was their only adopted son. He had graduated from the People's Police University of China three years ago and returned to the city. He was now the captain of the city's first patrol team.
One of the police officers saw that she had woken up and immediately went forward to ask.
"Are you called White Cloud Pigeon? We tried to contact your unit and your relatives according to the clues from the masses, but because we don't know which school you are from, we still haven't found out your exact identity.”
"I am White Cloud Pigeon." she whispered. Suddenly, she burst into tears and struggled to get up from the bed. She said,"Why did you save me? Why do you want me to live? Let me die cleanly. If I die, everything will be fine."
As she cried, she pulled out the IV set and ran to the window in two steps, wanting to flip down. The people in the ward were so frightened that they rushed forward to hold her down. When she tried to struggle again, she fainted. The doctor woke her up and gave her a tranquilizer before she fell asleep again.
On the other side of the bed, White Cloud Pigeon's cries woke up Gao Tian, who was in a coma. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Bai Yunge was about to jump out of the window. He subconsciously wanted to jump up, but who knew that a sharp pain in his lumbar spine made him unable to move. He was so anxious that he shouted,"Hurry up and catch her. Don't let her jump again."”
Xia Yuhong had never seen this formation before. She turned around and saw her son struggling to get up from the bed. She hurriedly let go of Bai Yunge and went to hold her son down.
"Tian 'er, lie still. You're already injured because of her. Don't move.”
After Bai Yunge fell asleep in the ward, Xia Yuhong could not help but complain,""It's as if the Gao family owed her something in her previous life. Why didn't she die in front of my son? She almost caused my son to fall to his death with her.”
"Mom, it's not her fault. I was careless.”
"Who else can I blame if not her? What would happen to your father and me if you were to leave a cripple behind? Oh my god, I didn't approve of you applying for the police academy when you were in college, but you insisted on going. Mom is worried about you every day now. What happened today was so mysterious. You almost died with him. You scared your mother to death."
"Mom, she must have been seriously hurt to be so heartbroken. She's already very pitiful. My injury is nothing. If your son saves a life, the heavens will bless my mother with longevity.”
"You're still talkative. If you fall to your death, your mother will die immediately today.”
"Mom…"
