When Ji Tiantian was little, she went on a trip to Xin City with her parents and met a gentle, considerate woman who owned a bed and breakfast. What she remembered most, besides the beautiful scenery, was the woman's younger son.
An An wasn't very talkative, but he would follow her around like a little shadow. Deprived of love and a father's affection, his world held only his mother and a girl named Ji Tiantian.
Before they parted, they exchanged phone numbers.
In elementary school, An An was easygoing and good-natured, so his classmates bullied him. Combined with his father's abuse, this made him deeply insecure. He thought that aside from his mother's love, nobody in the world cared about him.
Years later, when Tiantian was in middle school, An An entered her world, and their fates intertwined once more.
What she didn't know was that day after day, the boy's life was dull and lonely. He had no friends, and Tiantian was the first friend he'd ever had.
"Tiantian, did you know some classmates in our high school class spread rumors that we were a couple? I was secretly delighted, writing down our future together in my notebook. A teacher passing by asked why my draft paper was covered in English. It wasn't English. It was your initials."
