Many times, I wanted to go to Ma Ji to ask her for medicine to forget everything. It took great courage and perseverance to control myself from going to Ma Ji.
I would wake up at three or four o'clock in the morning and wait for the sun to rise. I had seen the sunrise from every angle on the island.
Su Shen had had it with me. She thought everything was a waste of time. So she got up early and took me to exercise. She taught me how to fight.
I was eager to learn. I went along because I needed to pass the time.
However, I refused to contact anyone, be it my little uncle, Mai Qi or Jing Ni. I didn't want to talk with any of them. Whenever they called, I would find an excuse and leave. I left Su Qian and Su Shen to handle the mess.
