"What kind of condition are you asking for? Just to be clear, I won't do anything like murder, arson, or other harmful, immoral things!" Erhu had seen a lot on the streets and alleys of the Capital, full of shady and messy happenings. When Huo Xing'Er said she wanted him to agree to a condition, he instinctively became cautious.
"Don't worry, it's not an overly harsh condition. You only need to promise me one thing: if in the future you and Xiaosuisui cross paths, and if you ever find yourselves as adversaries, you must swear never to harm or betray her!"
Upon hearing this, Erhu couldn't help but chuckle. "Ha! I thought it was going to be some big ordeal! I promise you!" Saying this, Erhu raised three fingers and made a vow. "I, Erhu, swear I will never betray Xiaosuisui. If I ever go back on my word, may I be struck by lightning!"
"Is this okay now?"
Huo Xing'Er nodded. "Yes, 'may I be struck by lightning' is a very good promise!"
