PRESENT TIME IN THE HOSPITAL
The sun was high in the sky when Jiang Qi slowly opened his eyes. He blinked a few times until the blur cleared, and only then did he realize he was lying on a bed.
His mind tried to catch up with where he was and the last thing he could remember was sitting on a chair beside Shen Yi. But now, instead of a chair, he was in a bed. He instantly sat up.
"Shen..." he began, but before he could complete the name, his eyes landed on the figure seated right next to him.
It was Shen Yi. He was sitting calmly in the chair, watching him. A white bandage was wrapped neatly around his head, and what made Jiang Qi freeze even more was the expression on his face.
Shen Yi was smiling, an actual bright smile.
"Had a good sleep?" Shen Yi asked.
