But Jiang Yan was different from the beginning.

Initially, she was someone little Ji Chu looked up to. Later, during their teenage years, their companionship led to a possessive desire. After she left, Ji Chu closed himself off again, his feelings for Jiang Yan turning into an obsession born from a mixture of admiration and loss.

...

Jiang Yan's revival was inexplicable. Ji Chu later checked the school's surveillance footage but couldn't find any clues. Jiang Yan had simply appeared out of nowhere.

Ji Chu had never been superstitious.

But Jiang Yan had truly returned, alive and vibrant, living in his room, able to playfully banter with him.

From that moment, he felt blessed by the heavens.

Ji Chu used to be the younger brother, the one who would act spoiled and show weakness, a fresh-faced boy in a white shirt.

But when Jiang Yan suddenly reappeared after several years, Ji Chu had grown into a professor with broad shoulders and a slim waist, the very picture of elegant masculinity.

Once he realized Jiang Yan was real and that he wasn't ill, Ji Chu resumed working at the university, as he needed to earn money to support their household.

Oh, and that abandoned car? He brought it back too.

From then on, everything in Ji Chu's life gained new meaning.

With Jiang Yan having nothing to do, Ji Chu coaxed her into accompanying him to work. This young and refined professor seated his little girlfriend in the front row.

A place where he could see her clearly with just a glance.

Ji Chu taught an elective course, so most of the students weren't from the same class. Because of this, they instinctively assumed Jiang Yan was just another student attending the elective.

The back rows of the classroom were packed, with fewer students in each row moving forward. The front row had only Jiang Yan.

As the bell rang, Ji Chu began his lecture with a serious demeanor, alternating between changing slides and writing on the whiteboard. Occasionally, the young professor's gaze would unconsciously fall on one person, his eyes flickering with genuine joy.

Jiang Yan listened for a while, resting her chin on her hand, but soon realized Ji Chu was lecturing about industrial robots. Finding it difficult to understand, she lowered her head and stopped listening.

What she didn't know was that the students in the classroom were shocked by her behavior. Especially since she sat in the front row without a textbook, openly playing with her phone.

Her bravery was admirable.

Strangely, the professor, known for his outwardly gentle but inwardly strict demeanor, seemed not to notice, as if he couldn't see it.

The students quickly created a new group chat without Ji Chu and began discussing the identity of the girl in the front row.

Some said she looked very young and must be a student;

Others argued that she was so beautiful yet unfamiliar, suggesting she might be a teacher, perhaps observing the class or conducting an inspection.

The two sides debated until a few minutes before the end of class when Ji Chu finished his lecture without sharing his usual story about his first love.

He shut down the computer early, packed his things, and walked down from the podium to lean on Jiang Yan's desk and talk to her.

The students whispered among themselves, speculating about their relationship.

Ji Chu looked up with a smile and said, "What's this? Are you allowed to secretly date in class, but I'm not allowed to exchange a few words with my wife?"

The classroom erupted in noise, accompanied by waves of surprise.

Jiang Yan was truly beautiful, her dark eyes gazing out like those of an exquisitely crafted doll. However, compared to Ji Chu, she appeared quite small.

A student who had planned to ask for her WeChat persisted, calling out, "Professor, didn't you say you and your wife were childhood sweethearts?"

Ji Chu frowned, "Why weren't you this enthusiastic during the lecture? Is it not allowed for my wife to look youthful?"

The student, recognizing the hint, replied tactfully, "The professor's wife indeed looks young and beautiful, almost our age."

Ji Chu was about to say something more when Jiang Yan tugged at his clothes, smiling as she called him, "Teacher?"

Ji Chu fell silent.

As the bell rang, for the first time, Ji Chu left the classroom hand in hand with his wife, ahead of all the students.

Face to face, the first batch of students who had heard Ji Chu's stories about his first love had already graduated.

As those in the know gradually decreased, and Ji Chu later appeared so calm, speaking of past events with such happiness, anyone who mentioned the news of the professor's wife's death was considered a rumor-monger.

The new students were unaware of the once tragic ending.

They only saw the professor happily holding his wife's hand, leaving the classroom ahead of them.

They ultimately had their happy ending.
