"…ugh…"
Opening my eyes, I found myself staring at a white ceiling. Wincing, I tried to sit up, but red-hot agony flared up inside the upper part of my body, almost causing me to topple back down. Drawing deep breaths and forcing myself to withstand the pain, I straightened my back, took my glasses from the side table and put them on, and glanced around.
I was in a hospital, evidently.
"Hey, Shu Cong! Are you all right?"
A familiar voice called out to me. Blinking in surprise, I turned and caught sight of Si Nan waving at me. He was accompanied by a concerned-looking Mu Zi Xing.
"Thank goodness, you've finally woken up," she said.
"Oh, hey." I stared at them, still trying orientate myself. "What's up? How long have I been out for?"
