school. Having two identities, he is highly respected and feared by all the other students
in the school. Huang He had a student-teacher love relationship with Jiang Ping, his
Science teacher. When Jiang Ping accidentally got pregnant with Huang He's child, she
divorced with her husband. To protect his bright future, he called for the help of Death
Girl to take the child away from his life. When a pretty and intelligent girl, Xiao Qing
defeated him in a debate competition, she caught his attention. To get closer to Xiao
Qing, Huang He set a trap on Sha Dong, Xiao Qing's brother. When Xiao Qing's secret
crush, Ah Pang get to know about Huang He's evil plan, he calls for the help of Death
Girl to get rid of Huang He as he thought Huang He had violated Xiao Qing. Only after
Huang He's death did Ah Pang realise that he has to pay the price which is to leave his
beloved grandmother. However, Death Girl did not change him into a rock in the end and
he leaves the black rock on the seat of Huang He.
It's the beginning of the second semester. Xiao Lin is a new student who was transferred
to Shen Qi's class. She is very quiet as her parents are undergoing divorce and she hates
the idea of thinking that her parents do not want her. From the seating arrangement, Xiao
Lin took the place that previously belonged to Huang He and found a beautiful black rock
on her seat. She took the stone and kept it. It is New Year. Xiao Lin went back to her
uncle and aunt's home. Both of them are really busy with the grocery store so they didn't
have time to take good care of Xiao Lin. One night, they forgot all about Xiao Lin's
dinner. Xiao Lin was alone in her room trying to bare with the hunger. At midnight, she
quietly went downstairs to the grocery store. Xiao Lin took a can of beer and a total
amount of TWD1000 from the cashier counter and ran away. She went to a river nearby
and met A Jie graffiting. Xiao Lin told A Jie that she had seen the Death Girl. The next
day, Xiao Lin went back to the grocery store. Xiao Lin's actions yesterday were recorded
by the CCTV. Xiao Lin's uncle was really mad and told her that nobody wants her
anymore. Xiao Lin couldn't believe the truth because she really loves her parents. She
didn't eat or drink, thinking that this would force her parents to pick her home from the
dormitory. Xiao Lin subsequently called upon Death Girl to bring her parents to
accompany her when she turns into a rock of Nai He Bridge. That night, Xiao Lin passed
away due to starvation. Also, in this story, Death Girl realised Shen Qi is the only one
that can see her with or without the black rock.
