Perhaps it was the upright military uniform that made Shui Lian lower all her guard—he couldn't possibly be a bad person.
She thought to herself, saving him can only bring benefits, not harm.
The unconscious Jiang Jinghuai faintly heard a woman's gentle calling voice. His consciousness cleared up a bit as he slowly awakened. His long, narrow eyes gradually opened, and the woman's graceful face reflected in his deep, profound gaze.
A faint fragrance lingered, not quite the same as what he remembered.
"Comrade... comrade, you're awake." Shui Lian said joyfully.
"You are…"
"I just happened to find you in the cave."
"You saved me?" Jiang Jinghuai hoarsely asked. All of a sudden, he grabbed her slender wrist, his dark, penetrating eyes fixed unblinkingly on her.
Fragments of blurred memories flickered through his mind.
