During a break, they went to fetch water. There was only one river, and they encountered it again. The students chattered incessantly.

"It's such a pity that Tian Jiangling isn't here. If only he were here."

"Yes, Tian Jiangling always brings a lot of snacks."

“He didn’t bring those for us, he brought them for Ting Nan. We’re just benefiting from Ting Nan’s influence.”

"Why bring them up again? Aren't two dead people a bad omen?"

"Hey Li, watch your mouth! You used to eat a lot of meat from Tingnan BBQ!"

Little Li made a shut-up gesture; after all, he was beholden to the food he was eating.

However, before he could even put his hand to his mouth, someone lifted him up and demanded, "Who did you say died?"

Little Li looked at the fierce-looking man in front of him, whose feet were lifted off the ground, showing how tall and strong the man was. "W-what are you doing?"

Patimi repeated, "Who did you say died?"

Little Li's mind raced, "Tian Jiangling and Zi Tingnan..."

"You're talking nonsense! Tian Jiangling is only a teenager, how could he possibly be dead?!"

Little Li, with a strong will to survive, said, "Brother, I'm not making this up. He really is dead, and he's been dead for almost a year!"

Snap—

Little Li fell to the ground and was quickly dragged away by his classmates.

Patimi, who remained where he was, murmured, "A year?"

No, he didn't believe it. He had clearly seen that kid not long ago, how could he...

Patimi pressed for details and learned that Tian Jiangling had fallen in love with his classmate, but his parents disapproved, so he committed suicide.

Patimi later found out that what his classmate said was true. He went to Tian Jiangling's grave and cursed him from beginning to end, saying that he was useless and that love was more important than life.

If Tian Jiangling could answer Patimi, he would definitely say without hesitation: Yes.

On her first day of school, Tian Jiangling saw Zi Tingnan, a quiet and well-behaved girl with bangs.

He fell in love with her at first sight, a love that lasted a lifetime.

She is very quiet. Apart from necessary activities, she can sit in the classroom all day, lost in thought, not knowing what she is thinking. It is difficult for her classmates to help her integrate into the class. She is too quiet, so she doesn't have many friends.

Tian Jiangling was considered quiet among boys, but in order to get to know Zi Tingnan, he forced himself to be cheerful and lively. He rehearsed many times before he finally appeared in front of Zi Tingnan. He thought he would be very nervous, but in reality, he was so nervous that he couldn't even speak a complete sentence. His stuttering self-introduction amused Zi Tingnan.

At that moment, Tian Jiangling was stunned.

Zi Tingnan blushed under his piercing gaze, and Tian Jiangling, realizing what was happening, also blushed.

Later, Tian Jiangling began to shamelessly seek out Zi Tingnan every day, never missing a day, even more diligently than when he was doing his homework. Gradually, the two became familiar with each other, and on the day they confessed their feelings for each other, they had a happy and carefree day.

News of their relationship spread quickly. Although Zi Tingnan kept it a secret, there were too many people in the academy, so it was bound to get out eventually.

But these kinds of things are usually known only among the students, and somehow they end up in the ears of the parents.

When Tian Jiangling's father found out, he told him to give up the relationship, saying that Zi Tingnan was not good enough for him.

When Zi Tingnan's father found out, he told her to give up the relationship, saying that she was not good enough for Tian Jiangling.

Of course, Tian Jiangling couldn't possibly agree to break up, so his father locked him up and kept him in confinement for several days. He couldn't understand why his father, who usually doted on him, would do this.
