Whenever she met Su Yan, she was filled with fear, on the verge of weeping, as anxious and terrified as a mouse facing a cat.
"What are you doing here again, Su Yan! Didn't I say that we have nothing to do with each other anymore — just pretend I'm not here!" She mustered her courage, her anxious and fearful voice filled Su Yan with guilt even before he said anything.

She knew very well what kind of person Su Yan was—an honourable man who valued relationships deeply. His cold and ruthless side were only for outsiders. He could never be harsh to people he cared about, and although he did not love her, to him, she was still one of his own. His guilt towards her, and the debt he owed her for saving his life, prevented him from being cruel to her.
