"Echoes of Redemption"

The siren sounded from far to near, sharply cutting through the tranquility of the evening by the river. "Someone jumped into the river!" Someone shouted, and the crowd exploded instantly, with exclamations and comments one after another. The police quickly got out of the car, and while calming the restless people, they shouted to the thin figure on the riverside: "Children, come down quickly! Think about your parents, suffocation is very desperate. Don't you want to live happily?" Bai Xinxi was so weak that she could no longer listen to what the police said behind her. Only the words "think about your parents" kept echoing in her mind. Her lips trembled and she choked, saying word by word: "But... I have no parents anymore... Just let me dance, please." Tears slid down her desperate cheeks, and she shouted the last few words with almost all her strength. Just when the desperate atmosphere was spreading, a cold female voice broke the deadlock: "Then jump." The policeman turned around in surprise and was about to blurt out, "How could you say that?" But he swallowed the words again. Then, he suddenly raised his voice and exclaimed in surprise: "Officer Qi! Is it really that talented girl, Officer Qi?" If the scene hadn't been serious, he might have rushed to collect stamps. Bai Xinxi's lips trembled suddenly, her eyes widened, and her expression instantly changed from shock to uncontrollable joy. The change was as fast as "Variety Martin", making her emotions unpredictable. She looked at the figure who had just spoken, her voice carrying a subtle tremor: "Before you... Before I die, can I ask your name?" The woman known as Officer Qi, wearing a neat police uniform, stood a little far away, with a tall and straight figure, sharp eyes but with a kind of calm power. She did not answer Bai Xinxi's question immediately, but looked at the girl on the riverside with a heavy gaze, and then slowly spoke, her voice clearly reaching everyone's ears through the evening wind: "My name is Qi Yan. Bai Xinxi, right? I have read some information about you, and you are very talented in mathematics and physics." Bai Xinxi was stunned. She didn't expect that the other party knew her name and her insignificant "talent". Those shining points that she once regarded as treasures, but had gradually become dusty because no one shared or affirmed them, were mentioned so clearly at this moment, which made her feel a surge of complex emotions, including surprise, confusion, and a hint of warmth that even she herself was not aware of. "What's the use of talent..." Bai Xinxi lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "I can't even find a reason to live." Qi Yan took a few steps forward, his eyes always locked on Bai Xinxi, and his tone was calm but with undoubted power: "Talent itself is one of the reasons for you to live. You can solve those complex mathematical problems and see through the laws behind physical phenomena, which shows that you have the ability to pry into the mysteries of the world. The world is so big, and there are many scenery you have never seen, and many problems you have not solved. Don't you want to see and try it?" Bai Xinxi raised her head and looked at Qi Yan with tearful eyes. She didn't understand why a stranger would say this to her. "But I... I have nothing left." "You have yourself." Qi Yan's voice is still calm, "Your talents, your thoughts, and your soul are all unique. If you jump down, you will really have nothing. But if you come up, you can still have a future and unlimited possibilities." The wind by the river blew gently, carrying the coolness of water vapor, but it seemed to blow into Bai Xinxi's heart, dispelling some of the heavy despair. She looked at Qi Yan's firm eyes, then looked at the worried crowd around her, and at the darkening sky in the distance. In the sky, a few stars seemed to be twinkling. Her body was still lying stiffly on the riverside, but her tense shoulders seemed to have loosened a little. Qi Yan did not urge her anymore, but just stood there quietly, like a reliable lighthouse, illuminating Bai Xinxi's confused spiritual channel at the moment. The surrounding police and people also held their breaths, waiting quietly for the girl's decision. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the sound of the gurgling river gently echoing along with the expectations in everyone's hearts. Intention: he
