Novel Summary
Pei Jiu picked up a girl by the riverside. He settled her on the mountain, and planned to send her back once she recovered. This delicate girl was a useless crybaby, so Pei Jiu had to be a nice person. He cooked her food and washed her clothes. He let the troublesome girl ride on his shoulders so she could pick fruits. During winter, he would warm up the bed for her. One day, she hugged Pei Jiu's arm with a smile. "Big Brother Pei, you're really an honest and a good man. I will marry you and give birth to your babies!" Pei Jiu eyed her critically and scathingly enumerated her shortcomings. She was ignorant and spoiled. She only knew how to pester and flirt with people all day long. Give birth to babies? Go ahead, give birth to caterpillars. The delicate girl bawled so hard that she passed out. The next day, Pei Jiu returned to his mansion and told his servants to prepare for his wedding ceremony. When he returned to the mountain in the evening, Pei Jiu opened the door as usual, but he found that the cheeky girl had disappeared. He searched the whole mountain for her to no avail. No one would act like a spoiled brat in front of him anymore. What a headache. Note : 娇 (jiāo) : tender/delicate/pampered/spoiled

If there is any issue message me I'll take this down immediately.
"I wish I had never met you!" Deepika's voice echoed across the classroom, each word a dagger to my heart.
"Excellent! At least we finally agree on something!" I fired back, even as a tear betrayed the storm of emotions within me.
With those final, stinging words, Deepika stormed out, leaving a heavy silence in her wake.
The classroom felt like a graveyard, and I stood there, rooted to the spot, desperately wishing I could chase after her and demand the truth.
Maybe letting her go was the right choice. Perhaps this is meant to be my unfinished love story, a tale of what-ifs and almosts...

No Deepika. This can't be his bike. Not Arjun's.
But I couldn't deny what I saw-the familiar brown Royal Enfield, now twisted and crushed.
My heart hammered as I circled around, hoping, praying it wasn't true, until my gaze landed on the number plate: TN56 0809.
Arjun's bike.
Deepika! Stop imagining things! Arjun would be fine!
I felt the world shift, the noise around me blurring into a single, deafening hum. Ambulance and police sirens echoed, and a stranger's voice broke through: "Two boys. Spot dead. College students."
I clutched my chest, gasping for air as reality slammed into me.
"Arjun..." I whispered, barely holding myself together. Tears stung my face as I sank beside the wreck.
"No, Please, No!" My voice cracked as the weight of regret settled in, suffocating me.
