Start of the Great War (2)

"Tianya, can you hear me? Tianya!" Ruan Zeyan pulled Ling Tianya up and shook her. "Ling Tianya, open your eyes! Look at me!"

When Ling Tianya heard Ruan Zeyan's voice, she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot now. They were so red it almost looked as if blood was going to drip out.

Ruan Zeyan's pupils constricted, and his heart began to tremble. He tried his best to speak calmly and slowly. "Look and me and try to breathe. In and out, in and out, slowly. Don't think about anything else. Just look at me and think about what I said."

Ling Tianya was staring right into Ruan Zeyan's eyes. He was all she could see right now. She tried to regulate her breathing by following his instructions.

After a while, her eyes recovered and went back to normal and her breathing became regular again.

"I told you, you are my painkiller. I was right about that." Ling Tianya was pale and her voice was weak.
