262 Didnst See Anything (1/2)

Since this was a private villa, there was no separation of bathrooms according to gender; male and female guests shared the bathroom, which was totally normally. However, using the bathroom and not locking it was rather abnormal. The issue of privacy aside, the way that the guest was using the bathroom was not correct.

The bathroom should be used to release water, not blood… Err, no wait! At such a serious moment, the thought that I'm having doesn't seem that correct…

Ye Shuang blinked. The man turned his head around and saw her since she had opened the door. She immediately halted her thoughts and started to come up with the correct method of response and formulate the procedure.

First, calmly pull out paper napkin from the dispenser.

Then, calmly wipe away the fingerprint that could have been left on the doorknob.

After removing all evidence that I was here, use the paper napkin to pull the doorknob and close the door.

”Sorry for disturbing you.” Ye Shuang smiled gently at the man, slightly raised her head, and then prepared to leave.

What the f*ck!

The man was baffled by this development. He had been quite surprised when someone else barged into the room, but he had soon remembered that he had forgotten to close the door. Then he had come up with the possible actions that the intruder might make. Actions that included screaming would be the worst because they might attract the attention of the other guests at the party. Other than that, she might start to attempt counseling him. This result would not be bad. Even though the man would brush the advice off, even though the suicide would be halted, at least the incident would not be broadcasted. Other than that, she might charge forward to try to stop him from doing the reckless thing. If that was the case, should he retaliate or not?

However, no matter what, the man did not consider this possibility—the girl's first reaction was to remove all the evidence that she had been there in the first place and pretend like she did not see anything and leave.

The man was befuddled.

She is going to leave me to die!

Ye Shuang's expression at the time? The feeling was like… the man was holding a sharp knife, preparing to slit his wrist, but in her eyes, she seemed to see someone holding a paring knife to peel an apple.

The man's reckless attempt to seek death was drenched by this sudden pail of cold water… Even though, most of the time, suicide was due to a sudden urge, it was undeniable that some victims had this dark thought of 'I will make all of you regret this'. Unfortunately, the man did not get the reaction that he wanted from Ye Shuang. One could imagine the disappointment and devastation that he felt.

”Stop right there!” The man exploded when he noticed half of Ye Shuang's body had already retreated from the bathroom. He rushed over combining three steps into two steps. Before Ye Shuang could react, he pulled her in and, in the same motion, slammed the door shut. This time, he made sure to remember to lock the door.

A single man and a single woman staying inside the same bathroom… it was hard to make it romantic when they were just standing next to the toilet. Ye Shuang tried her best to ignore the surroundings. Her lips twitched, and she massaged her forehead. ”Is there anything else, sir?”

The man's face was red from anger, and the veins on his neck were pulsing. ”What do you mean? You ignored me. Do you look down on me? Even when I seek death, you can ignore it, huh‽ You also think someone like me deserves to die, don't you?”

”As the saying goes, people dying is like light dying. After all, you're going to leave the world already, why are you still obsessed with these mundane things?” Ye Shuang sighed helplessly. ”If you really want to stick it to someone, then you have to be alive. If you think nothing really matters anymore, then continue with the suicide… I'm just someone who happened to pass by; I don't know you and am not familiar with you, do you have the need to be so concerned about my thoughts?”

They said that the living could not argue with the dead, but Ye Shuang thought the reserve was even truer. Death was often the perfect lens needed to see the best in someone; however, after death, people would stop influencing the world, their time frozen in the moment when they died. Only living humans had the ability to influence and change the future—only living humans had that possibility.

The dead could never beat the living. No matter how perfect their image was, all they had were words of memories and lamentation. The one who would gain anything worthy was the living.

The man slowly calmed down. He stared at Ye Shuang for a while and let her go with a chuckle. ”So, you're here to stop me from committing suicide.”

Then, he also nodded in agreement. ”Your method sure is unique.”

Unfortunately, he was not going to change his mind.

Just as he was about to express his conviction, Ye Shuang finally lost her patience. She grabbed the man's collar, opened the door, pushed the man out and closed the door. The series of actions was smooth.

She had been holding it in for a long time! Did the man not even consider that she was there to use the toilet‽

After the door slammed shut, the man had no idea what had happened, but he was already locked out of the room. He was still holding the knife in his hand. Then, after Ye Shuang was done with her business, she opened the door and smiled at the man, who was still blanking out at the door. She wandered away. After all, she did not leave any fingerprint, so whether the man would continue the suicide or not had nothing to do with her anymore.

…

Returning to the party on the first floor, Ye Shuang found a glass of wine on the table. Before she could take a sip to wet her throat, she was accosted by Su Zheng, who came from behind her.

”Sister Shuang, why did it take you so long?” Su Zheng hung herself on Ye Shuang's arm that was not holding the wine glass. She dragged the girl urgently in a direction. ”Just now that Lin Yu also showed up. I didn't have any idea that he was going to attend this party… Oh, Xiao Xia is already here. Even Xia Cheng has showed up. Let's go see what's happening!”
