He watched over her in the ward. When morning came, Gu Qingjiu finally regained some consciousness.
When she opened her eyes, she saw white walls in front of her, and not the army green bunk bed she was familiar with. All that entered her sight was an extremely clean shade of white.
It was… the hospital?
Gu Qingjiu completely opened her eyes and gazed around at her surroundings in a dazed state.
She saw He Niancheng sitting on the chair beside the ward bed.
He was flipping through a book, a visible stubble formed on his chin.
Sensing movement on the bed, He Niancheng got up and walked over. "You're awake?"
"Chief Instructor, why are you here?"
Gu Qingjiu propped up her body, wanting to sit up. Yet she realized her body was awfully sore, and her head was aching so badly it felt like it was going to explode.
After some struggle, she failed to sit up straight.
