Just like a dying man in the desert who hasn't just found a spring but stumbled upon a luxurious rescue team—food, water, and a rescue helicopter with air conditioning ready to take him home.
This was exactly how Yang Yi felt right now.
That feeling of salvation.
In the depths of despair, amidst unbearable agony, the sudden feeling of being rescued.
Even though he hadn't forgotten what his mission was, at that moment Yang Yi truly felt a deep sense of gratitude and appreciation for Aaron.
Yang Yi was dazed for a long while until Aaron patted him on the shoulder.
It wasn't particularly painful, but it did sting a bit. Yang Yi snapped out of his daze but continued staring intently at Aaron.
Yang Yi didn't ask how Xiao Ran could be saved because if Aaron was willing to talk, he wouldn't need prompting. The fact that Aaron hadn't mentioned it indicated he was deliberately withholding the method to save Xiao Ran, leaving Yang Yi hanging.
