The thoughtful Song Huai met the sensitive Jiang Yu. Song Huai accidentally hurt Jiang Yu while playing table tennis, and she fell in love with him at first sight. But after meeting him only once, she put those feelings aside. She never expected to see him again when the students were divided into arts and sciences classes. She couldn't help sneaking glances at him and worrying about him. Later, they became desk mates, and their feelings for each other grew as they helped one another through hard times. He took her skiing, and she took him to paint plaster dolls. Sadly, Jiang Yu's parents divorced, and her father took her back to Xingcheng. After returning to Xingcheng, her health grew worse. She thought it was because she wasn't used to the local climate, and the doctor said it was only gastroenteritis. Song Huai skipped class to keep her company while she received IV fluids, and they promised to meet again in Xicheng. They often kept up with each other's lives through letters, but Jiang Yu's father discovered their correspondence and, in a fit of rage, hit her. The beating led to her being diagnosed with stomach cancer. Jiang Yu didn't hide the truth from Song Huai. She told him she was undergoing chemotherapy every day just so she could return to Xicheng. Song Huai was also going through a very difficult time in Xicheng. His family had suffered a crisis, and every day he had to run between school, his part-time job, and the courthouse. In the end, they reunited at Xida University. Jiang Yu went to law school for Song Huai, and Song Huai went to medical school for Jiang Yu. After graduating, they rented a two-bedroom apartment near Xida. By chance, they adopted a five-year-old boy. They named him Song Yang, with the nickname Taiyang. Four years later, Jiang Yu passed away in Song Huai's hospital, in Song Huai's arms. Later, Song Huai passed away too, always on the day before Jiang Yu's death anniversary. He held a photo of himself and Jiang Yu at Xida Affiliated High School, smiling with tears in his eyes.
