"You're awake?"
Inside a special hospital room, Gu Xi leaned forward slightly, looking at the man lying on the bed. "Do you remember who I am?"
On the hospital bed, the man slowly opened his eyes. His vision blurred for a moment before the young woman's face gradually came into focus. She didn't look as disheveled as when he had seen her during the assassination attempt. Instead, she exuded a calm and steady confidence, as if she held all the cards.
After a long silence, he spoke slowly. Having just woken from a coma, his throat was dry and his voice was extremely hoarse. "You saved me?"
"That's not wrong, I suppose." Gu Xi nodded, not denying it.

'That would be too impolite.'
The man fell silent again.
