An Ying shuddered, finally awakening from the deepest nightmare.
Then he felt an extreme thirst, as if his mouth were on fire, and his lips were painfully cracked.
He tried to speak, but with all his strength, only managed to slightly move his lips.
His throat was so hoarse that he couldn’t utter a single sound.
At that moment, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his lips, and then a refreshing spring water flowed into his mouth.
The water tasted so sweet that An Ying felt as if every cell in his body was rejoicing.
The overwhelming joy finally gave him some strength, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing he saw was a fair face just lifting her head.
It was twilight hour, and the dusky light streamed through the window, casting on the girl’s profile, making her look as beautiful as a deity.
An Ying couldn’t help but be a little mesmerized.
Just then, the young woman noticed he was awake, initially surprised, then smiled softly at him, "You’re awake!"
Her voice was gentle and pleasant.
An Ying tried to nod, but only then did he realize he was wrapped tightly, unable to move a finger except to blink.
This prompted a flash of anxiety in his eyes.
The girl noticed and covered her mouth with a laugh, "Alright, alright, don’t be anxious, Immortal Master Zhuge said that as long as you wake up, it means you’re fine, and soon your wounds will heal!"
While she spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps approached, and the person who appeared next shocked An Ying.
The Nation’s Commander-in-chief walked into the ward with a group of generals, holding a box in his hand.
"Comrade An Ying, you’re finally awake, now everyone can rest assured!" the Commander-in-chief laughed.
An Ying couldn’t move, but he could speak, especially to such a powerful elder. He couldn’t help but ask.
"General, what’s this..."
The Commander-in-chief’s face turned serious, "Comrade An Ying, your performance on the battlefield, Captain Zhang Chu has already informed us. Your courage to face thousands of enemy troops alone is admirable, so this is a medal specially awarded to you!"
With that, the Commander-in-chief opened the embroidered box in his hand, revealing a medal inside.
An Ying naturally couldn’t receive it; in fact, his mind was still in a daze.
Instead, the girl smiled and took the box, then said a few more words before the Commander-in-chief led everyone out.
Once everyone had left, the girl took out the medal from the box, examined it carefully, and then bit it. Surprised, she said.
"Wow, it’s actually pure gold! Big hero, it seems people really hold you in high regard!"
An Ying suddenly fell silent, and after a long while, he finally said, "Big hero...how can I be considered a hero, just a warrior who was lucky not to die!"
This strange atmosphere made the room quiet.
The girl sighed softly, placed the medal back, and shrugged, "Since you know you were lucky not to die, you should cherish this honor more. After all, it’s not just for you, but for all of you, especially those heroes who died in battle!"
This statement made An Ying tremble, then he struggled to lift his eyes, looking at the girl.
The girl chuckled, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"
An Ying took a deep breath and finally asked, "What’s your name?"
"Tsk tsk, finally remember to ask my name? I thought you wouldn’t ask! My name is Shi Xueqing, remember?"
"Shi Xueqing..." An Ying repeated, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
