Please recommend a book with a male protagonist suffering from depression and a dull overall style.

The story went like this: The male protagonist was probably the son of his mother and his uncle. The uncle had depression, so his mother married his current father (who was the uncle's brother). Their relationship was very chaotic. When the boy was young, his uncle took him to the seaside to paint. His uncle gave him a whistle and told him to blow it when he couldn't see me. Later, the boy was too focused on playing and didn't notice his uncle walking into the sea. By the time he remembered, his uncle was already dead. Because of his uncle's death and his hereditary depression, the boy's grandfather snatched the boy from his mother and raised him. His uncle's death must have traumatized the boy. His grandfather sent him to a small town and met a girl. He had been following the girl around. However, he was later picked up by his grandfather…
I don't remember how they fell in love after that. I only know that the man really liked the girl, but Grandpa didn't agree because of the boy's illness... The boy brought the girl to the beach to play, but he did not allow her to go into the sea. Later, he gave the whistle to the girl and said what his uncle had said to him. There was also the last painting of the beach before his uncle died (a piece of floating wood on the gloomy sea). It had always been hung in the boy's study. The girl would feel afraid every time she saw it…
Later, the boy fell ill twice. He couldn't remember the reason for the first time. Anyway, his grandfather forced him to be sent to the hospital for treatment. The second time, it was because of some conflict. The girl quarreled with him and said something about his illness. A psychological barrier broke. However, this time, she refused to go to the hospital no matter what. She had to take good care of him. During this period, the boy often said,"The sky is gray today." One day, the boy suddenly thought of something and began to teach the girl how to do housework until the girl learned everything and even got used to the boy sleeping without her (at that time, it seemed that they were married). The boy had disappeared with the painting and the whistle that he had given to the girl. The girl had gone crazy and went to the beach to look for him. She only found his shoes in the sea. When she was about to commit suicide, the boy's grandfather and her parents appeared and confirmed that the boy was dead... However, she later found out that he was lying to the girl. The girl understood her grandfather's painstaking efforts. It was her grandfather who had been pulling the boy and did not want him to walk the path of his youngest son. In the end, the boy recovered and waited for the girl to pick him up.
The last one was, of course, He. However, after the birth of their son, there was still a detail written that their eyes were also suffused with melancholy... (Tsk tsk, looks like it's inherited again ahhhh)... complete

I recommend "Guide to the Top Student Adonis." This modern romance and urban life novel tells the story of love from school to marriage. The story in the middle is a little brutal, but the ending is good. The title of the book was also called "Counting Shaohua". I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
