Lin Junjie recalled that he read the news in the newspaper that this girl passed away in the air crash. The report published the girl’s belongings which were photos of JJ Lin, and only then did he know that she had always carried photos of JJ Lin with her. JJ Lin said frankly: “When I saw the photo, I remembered that I gave her my photos, but I didn’t expect that she would carry it all the time.” JJ Lin choked and said that he couldn’t imagine how a girl would feel when she brought breakfast to his house every day, but received the rejection from the male side in the end.
