The effects of the anesthetic had significantly subsided, and her consciousness regained clarity.
She opened her eyes and gazed hazily at the unfamiliar canopy overhead, momentarily unaware of where she was.
"Awake?"
Xiao Hen approached her and asked.
Today, Xiao Hen wasn't wearing his mask and revealed his true face in its entirety.
Shangguan Yun stared at him, her mouth gaping open.
After a long moment, she closed her eyes, "I'm dreaming."
He was someone she could only meet in her dreams.
Xiao Hen sat down beside her bed, watching her steadily, "Does the wound hurt?"
"Hurt?" Shangguan Yun paused, then said, "It hurts."
Her entire body was in pain; this wasn't a dream.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze towards Xiao Hen shining brightly.
Xiao Hen gave a gentle smile.
Shangguan Yun suddenly felt embarrassed, unable to move, with her eyes darting around in their sockets.
Then, her ears turned red at a visible speed.
Eh?
Xiao Hen was slightly taken aback.
