บท 263: It's ok to cry

….

When Xiao Lei woke up, the first thing she saw was the fluorescent light on the ceilings, the brightness of which was hurting her eyes. She winced and covered her eyes with the back of her hands. "Too bright…" she murmured. 

"Xiao Lei!" a man's frantic voice sounded from somewhere. 

Xiao Lei could feel her bed dipped on the side, and there was someone in front of her. 

She slowly removed her hands from her eyes, but her sight was still pretty blurry, and she had to blink a couple of times before she could make out who it was in front of her. 

"Han Ye…" she muttered upon seeing Han Ye's worried face that was just mere inches away from hers. Xiao Lei's eyes landed on the crow's feet at the corner of Han Ye's eyes, and she thought amusedly, "He's getting old."

"Are you alright?"

Xiao Lei frowned and gently pushed him back before slowly getting up.
