Step by step, Xia Zhisu walks to Dongye's side, looking at the man beside her. His cold face carries calmness; knowing she is by his side, he seems very composed, lacking the panic and disarray of last night.
"I really like the way the sun rises, it's beautiful, isn't it?" Dongye speaks to the woman beside him.
"I didn't mean to, last night I suddenly saw it, I was just really scared." Xia Zhisu says.
"I know, anyone would be frightened seeing it. I was very scared the first time too, but got used to it later. Azhi, I am human, not a monster." Dongye looks at her, speaking word by word.
She lowers her head, tears in her eyes.
She realizes how much her reaction last night hurt him!
She takes his hand; his palm is now wide, unlike when he was still Xiaodong, back when he could only hold onto two of her fingers.
She thinks of such a calm person agonizing on the floor last night.
"It was really painful, wasn't it?" She asks, lifting her eyes as she holds his hand.
