The two families already had a good relationship, and Xia Yan's parents were very kind-hearted people, so they naturally agreed.
After that, Xia Yan often visited the neighbors next door and went to the Mu family to play with Mu Jin.
Gradually, the two children also developed a friendship.
As time went by, it's hard to say whether it was Xia Yan's companionship that worked or the multiple psychological consultations and treatments that made Mu Jin's autism improve.
He began to integrate into the outside world and started going to school like a normal child.
From elementary school to junior high and then to the first year of high school, the two attended the same school for ten years.
For several years, they were even classmates.
To those around them, they were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.
But for Xia Yan, she only regarded Mu Jin as her best friend.
She assumed that Mu Jin had no other feelings for her.
Unexpectedly, in her first year of high school, Xia Yan developed a crush on a boy in her class.
After Mu Jin found out, he intercepted the boy in the back alley of the school behind Xia Yan's back and then beat him up badly.
At that time, the boy went straight to the hospital and stayed there for a week.
Mu Jin was expelled from school.
After Xia Yan learned about this, she went to Mu Jin, wanting an explanation from him.
It was around that time that Xia Yan learned that Mu Jin liked her, and that his liking for her was even quite intense.
He was so insane that he wanted to destroy whoever Xia Yan liked.
After that, Mu Jin was expelled from school and had to travel from the south of the city to the north to attend classes.
As a result, he and Xia Yan saw each other much less often.
During this time, Xia Yan's feelings remained unchanged; she still liked that boy and even began to pursue him.
But every weekend when Mu Jin came back from school, he would always make sarcastic remarks and sabotage Xia Yan and that boy.
Because of this, Xia Yan gradually began to distance herself from Mu Jin.
In her second year of high school, Xia Yan's crush, An Chen, accepted her advances, and they got together.
Has An Chen really fallen for Xia Yan?
Actually, no. An Chen is a complete womanizer. While dating Xia Yan, he was also involved with two other girls.
Heartbroken, Xia Yan broke up with An Chen.
What Xia Yan didn't know was that Mu Jin actually knew that An Chen was cheating on her with several women and had deceived her feelings.
One day, he invited Xia Yan to his home under the pretext that his mother wanted to see her. Little did he know that once she arrived, he would tie Xia Yan up.
Later, Mu Jin killed An Chen and returned with his head to tell her, "This is what happens to everyone who bullies you."
Mu Jin thought she would be moved.
But he was wrong. That day, Xia Yan had a complete emotional breakdown. He had never seen her so afraid of him before.
She was truly terrified; she was afraid of Mu Jin revealing such a ferocious side to her.
The scene before her eyes was like a bolt from the blue for Mu Jin.
That day, he held her, who was like a block of wood, and said many, many things to her.
He also said that since we can't be together in life, let's die together.
That night, Mu Jin forced her to drink the cup of poison he brought her, and afterwards, Mu Jin swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills in front of her.
Finally, they lay down together, hand in hand.
The moment Xia Yan closed her eyes, she truly thought she was going to die.
Unexpectedly, she woke up again later, because... Mu Jin never intended to kill her.
