"Alright, Miss Gu, whether you accept this apology or not, I can tell you that I will not harm you again. Since you don't trust it, you can take your time to consider it. Now, do you want to see those boring people, or do you plan to go back?"
"Take me there." After some thought, Gu Anjin made up her mind, "Take me to see Song Yi."
"Are you sure?" Huo Xun's smile stiffened slightly.
Should he say she thinks too highly of this Song Yi, or that she is really starting to try to trust him?
"I'm sure." Her voice was particularly firm.

Not only was it physical pain, but more so, it was the realization that she could never play the piano again.
She couldn't even imagine the despair of a pianist who loses the use of their hands.
From the moment she heard these words, Gu Anjin's fingers hadn't stopped trembling.
