Space Base.
Qiao An felt as though her body was sinking into a marsh, continuously falling deeper.
She was utterly exhausted, as if she had run a long-distance marathon, with her muscles aching and tender.
Opening her heavy eyelids, Qiao An surveyed her surroundings—this was the apartment at the base, inside her bedroom.
Two dim wall lamps glowed softly in the bedroom.
It was silent and empty, except for her.
Her thoughts rushed in like the tide. She vaguely remembered seeing Mu Jingxi before she lost consciousness.
Where was he?
Where had he gone?
She propped herself up with her arms and slowly sat up, her gaze frantically searching the room, "Mu Jingxi?"
No sooner had she spoken than the bedroom door was pushed open.
Mu Jingxi entered, carrying a cup of water. Seeing Qiao An sitting up, his expression was blank, and he quickly approached, "Awake?"
Sitting down beside the bed, he brought the warm water to her lips, "Drink some water first."
