Chapter 32: Encounter, Reunion (31)
That sleep was unexpectedly deep, comfortable, and warm, allowing her to wake up naturally. The moment she opened her eyes, the strong light pierced them; the summer morning was clear after the disaster, and the sun burned half the sky red early in the morning. The faint scent of green grass was at her nose, and her cheek was pressed against the soft touch of pure cotton. In her initial chaotic awakening, she suddenly became clear-headed. Did she, she, she... sleep in someone’s arms?!
But! Thankfully, this person wasn’t reacting at this moment! Which meant he wasn’t awake yet!
She blinked and gently moved herself away from his arms. The moment her back rested against the wall, she stole a glance at him; he was still asleep, leaning against the wall...
She let out a slow breath; thinking of that night when he leaned against her shoulder to sleep all night, he was so unreasonable then, what if he found out she had "thrown herself into his arms"? Luckily! Luckily...
Just then, the bright cry of a baby echoed from down the corridor. Tu Hengsha looked at the half-bright sky, filled with mixed emotions. Regardless of everything, the arrival of new life was always a happy event, and the doctor’s anxious heart could finally be at ease.
She turned her eyes to the person beside her. With such loud cries, he should wake up, right?
Sure enough, she saw his long lashes flutter, and he opened his eyes. The light flooded into them, and his dark pupils absorbed the golden-red glow.
It seemed he truly didn’t know she had just climbed out of his embrace...
A new day, bright and intense.
The water level had dropped significantly compared to the previous day; families with minimal flooding had almost seen the water recede, allowing them to return home to clean up. In the morning, the school received relief supplies, mainly food and drinking water.
