Chapter 63

When Xu Xu woke up, she saw a small yellow lamp hanging above her head, as well as a bleak, unfamiliar ceiling.

Ji Bai was sleeping in a chair beside her bed, still dressed in the same muddy clothes. Outside the window, the night sky was dark and gloomy, which made his face seem especially handsome under the faint glow of the moon.

It was now dawn, so the air was extremely chilly. Xu Xu's throat was a little dry so she could not help but cough, though she did try to muffle the sound with her blanket. Ji Bai immediately opened his eyes and turned toward her as he held her cold, petite-looking face in his large hands. "You're awake." Then, he poured a glass of water for her and added, "It's nothing serious, your blood sugar level was just a little low, so you've been given an intravenous drip. We're now at the village health center where you've been resting overnight. We'll return to Lin City tomorrow."
