Wu Jian awoke with a sharp gasp. He looked wildly around for a moment, but then settled down when he realized where he was. The sturdy ceiling overhead and familiar shoji screen door of the hospital wing was one he recognized thanks to the many times he had come here. Calming down, he tried to recall what happened after his fight against Wu Yong, but he couldn’t.
“I see you are finally awake,” a voice said.
He would have jumped if he wasn’t so tired. Turning his head, he blinked several times at the woman whose cold face never seemed to change.
“Aunt Taohua…”
The person sitting on the chair was Wu Taohua. Her hair was currently let down instead of tied into a bun. It was much longer than he thought it would be. Each strand looked black, but it became a brownish color when the light hit it, proving that it wasn’t pure black like Wu Meiying’s hair. Somehow, this hairstyle gave her a much softer appearance than normal. She looked almost kind.
