The sleeping Xiaye felt like she was engulfed in terrifying darkness. Sruggling and suffocating, she felt cold and pain all over her body, especially the anguish buried deep within her chest.
She curled up and huge droplets of sweat appeared all over her forehead.
However, she could feel someone wiping her sweat off from time to time. Her hand was even gripping onto that person's big, cool hand, and she could feel a slight human warmth from the palm…
She struggled and finally opened her eyes. Through her blurry vision, she saw the orange wash of the sunset.

Her voice sounded dry and frail.
"This is Hospital T. You've been injured. How're you feeling?"
Mu Yuchen helped her sit up and handed her a glass of water.
