The girl finally broke down, crying and shaking. At the moment she lost her balance, Qin Mu stepped forward, gently grabbed her arm, and pulled her back to the inside of the rooftop. His movements were gentle but powerful, giving the girl an unprecedented sense of security.

"You still have a chance to start over. Life may be difficult, but as long as you are willing to face it, there will always be a turning point." Qin Mu patted her shoulder and said softly, "Nothing can never be changed. The key is that you have to give yourself a chance."

The girl leaned on Qin Mu's shoulder, her tears soaking his sleeves, but her emotions seemed to gradually calm down. She knew that she shouldn't end everything in despair, maybe there was still some tiny hope in life worth pursuing. This stranger who suddenly appeared beside her gave her warmth and comfort she had never felt before, as if opening a new door for her.

Qin Mu sat with the girl on the rooftop for a while until her emotions were completely stable. He knew that at this moment, she had decided to give up the idea of ​​committing suicide and face the difficulties in life again.

"Thank you, I don't know how to express my gratitude." The girl choked up, with gratitude and reluctance in her eyes.

Qin Mu smiled slightly, his eyes full of gentleness and encouragement: "You're welcome, the important thing is that you chose to move forward. Remember, there are no obstacles in life that you can't overcome. As long as you face them bravely, there will always be a turning point."

The girl nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and finally there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. Qin Mu said nothing more, just looked at her silently until she smiled.

Soon after, the girl left the rooftop and returned to her own life. Qin Mu looked at her from behind, his eyes revealing a bit of relief. He knew that his intervention this time might have changed a person's fate, but more importantly, he had helped her regain hope in life.

As night falls, the neon lights of the city gradually light up, and the streets are still bustling with people. Qin Mu stands on the top of a tall building, looking at this strange yet vibrant world, and a desire to explore arises in his heart. He knows that this world is completely different from the rivers and lakes he has experienced, full of countless challenges and unknowns, and he will continue his journey here to find new answers.

Qin Mu and the girl sat side by side on a bench, surrounded by dim lights. Occasionally, pedestrians passed by, but no one noticed their presence. The girl lowered her head, clasped her hands, and was silent for a long time. Finally, she took a deep breath and began to tell her story.

"I thought he was my salvation, the one who would accompany me throughout my life," she said in a low and hoarse voice, filled with suppressed pain, "but in the end, I found myself being used and played by him as a fool."

Qin Mu listened quietly without interrupting her. He just looked at her tenderly, waiting for her to pour out the pain in her heart.

"We met in college. He was gentle, considerate, and always smiled at me sincerely." Tears flashed in the girl's eyes, as if she had returned to that day full of sweet fantasies. "He always said that I was the most important person to him and that he would always be by my side. I believed him, and I felt that I had finally found a shoulder to lean on."

She paused, her voice becoming more choked up. "But it was all lies. He just took advantage of my trust in him and squeezed out all my efforts and emotions. Whether it was time, money, or my beliefs, they were all drained away by him bit by bit."

Qin Mu frowned slightly, feeling that her experience was far more than just an ordinary emotional deception. The girl continued, "He knew that my family was not well off, but he always asked me to lend him money on the pretext that he needed money to start a business. I couldn't bear to see him under so much pressure, so I helped him again and again, and even got into a lot of debt."

Her tone gradually became agitated, and she clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the force. "But he didn't take this relationship seriously at all! He had another woman outside a long time ago, and I was kept in the dark until one day, when I accidentally found the ambiguous text messages in his phone. At that moment, I felt like the sky had fallen."

Qin Mu's eyes grew deep. He understood how fatal this betrayal would be to someone who had given his all.

"I asked him why he did this and why he betrayed me." The girl's voice was filled with tears, and tears welled up in her eyes again. "But he sneered and said that he never really loved me. He said that I was a naive fool and just a tool for him to use."

Her body trembled slightly, as if she recalled that heart-wrenching moment: "He said he was just 'investing' in me, and had no intention of having a future with me from the beginning. He just valued my trust in him and my money. He said I was too trusting and was destined to suffer like this."

The coldness in Qin Mu's eyes flashed away, but he remained calm and asked softly: "Then what? How did you deal with it?"

The girl smiled bitterly and shook her head. "What else can I do? He cheated me of all my money and even refused to face me when we broke up. He just left me a cold letter and disappeared without a trace. All my fantasies, expectations and trust were trampled under his feet. My friends advised me to let it go, but I just can't do it. I feel like everything about me has been ruined by him."

Qin Mu was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I understand your pain. Being betrayed by someone you trust wholeheartedly is the most difficult injury to heal. You gave everything, but in return you got endless disappointment. This feeling is something no one can easily bear."

The girl's tears fell, she bit her lips tightly, and her tone was full of powerlessness: "I tried to convince myself to cheer up again, but no matter how hard I tried, I felt that I could no longer find the motivation to move forward. I even began to doubt whether there are still people in this world who are truly worthy of trust."

Qin Mu's eyes flashed with pity and determination: "There is indeed hypocrisy and deception in the world, but there is also sincerity and beauty. You can't completely deny the whole world because of a scumbag. You must remember that your value is not determined by others, and your life should not be stagnant for such a person."

There was a trace of confusion in the girl's eyes. She asked softly, "But what can I still believe in? I don't dare to rely on anyone anymore. There is always a shadow in my heart that cannot be dispelled. I feel that everyone may deceive me again."

Qin Mu nodded gently, his voice soft but firm: "It is normal to have such thoughts after being hurt. It takes a long time to rebuild trust after it is destroyed. You don't need to rush to regain trust, but learn how to reconcile with yourself and find inner peace."

He paused and continued, "You will always encounter unbearable people and things in life, but this does not mean you have to give up everything because of a failed experience. You still have a future, and there are countless possible beautiful things waiting for you to discover. The key lies in how you view yourself and whether you are willing to step out of the shadows."

The girl lowered her head in deep thought, and her tears gradually stopped. Her emotions gradually calmed down from the excitement, and there was a trace of thought and reflection in her eyes.

Qin Mu continued, "You were deceived not because you are not good enough, but because the other person is not worth your efforts. The important thing is that you should learn to protect yourself better from this, learn to see clearly what true feelings are, and not be blinded by appearances. Trust is built on time and sincerity. In the future, you need to be more cautious, but don't close yourself off because of this."

The girl nodded slightly, as if she understood what Qin Mu meant. She let out a long breath and said softly, "Perhaps you are right. I can't let an unworthy person continue to affect my life. I need to start over. Even if it is difficult, I am willing to try."

Qin Mu smiled slightly, his eyes full of encouragement: "This is the right choice. Remember, the road to the future is under your feet, and you are fully capable of deciding your own destiny. Don't let the shadow of the past become an obstacle to your progress, but use it as a driving force for your growth."

The girl wiped away her tears, with a look of perseverance and determination in her eyes: "Thank you, I really don't know how to express my gratitude. If it weren't for you, I might really be on the road of no return."

Qin Mu shook his head, his tone warm: "You don't need to be grateful to me. The most important thing is that you made the choice not to give up. This is what you should be most proud of."

The night breeze was blowing gently, and the lights in the city were still bright. The girl stood up, took a deep breath, and her eyes were firm and peaceful. She knew that there would still be challenges in the future, but she was no longer the fragile and helpless self.

Qin Mu watched her leave with a hint of relief in his eyes. He knew that although the girl had experienced pain in her heart, she had found the strength to move forward again. No matter how complicated the world is, there are still things worth looking forward to and cherishing. And he will continue to look for and protect those who are crushed by life in this strange city, and help them find the light in their hearts.

Qin Mu watched Xiao Yun gradually regain some of her fighting spirit, but he knew in his heart that words alone were not enough to make her completely walk out of the shadow of the past. Her heart was still tightly entangled with the scumbag who betrayed and hurt her. If she didn't see this scumbag get the punishment he deserved, she would never be able to let it go.

"Xiao Yun, if you are willing, I can help you make the person who hurt you pay the price he deserves." There was no anger in Qin Mu's tone, he just stated the fact calmly.

Xiaoyun was stunned. She didn't expect Qin Mu to make such a suggestion. She shook her head subconsciously: "But he is someone I once loved. I... I don't want to use drastic means to solve these problems."

Qin Mu smiled slightly, his eyes soft, "Punishment does not mean hurting, but to make him understand that deception and betrayal also have consequences. You are kind-hearted, but this does not mean you should repeatedly tolerate those who hurt you. Since he chose to betray you, he should take responsibility for it."
