"Thanks for everything you've done." These were the first words Wu Sheng spoke to Tang Yuanxiao.
"There's nothing to thank me for." Tang Yuanxiao paused. "I heard you were awake, so I came to see you."
"Yeah, I know." Wu Sheng nodded. "Aside from feeling a bit weak, everything else is fine."
"That's good, then." After just a couple of exchanges, Tang Yuanxiao found he had nothing more to say.
Su Li poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Tang Yuanxiao.
"Drink some hot water to warm up. It's pretty cold outside."
Tang Yuanxiao glanced at Su Li and took the water. "Thanks."
It was indeed quite cold outside. It was already winter, and the temperature had started to drop today. It looked like it would snow soon.
His hands, which had grown stiff and cold on the way over, gradually warmed up from the hot water.
Tang Yuanxiao sipped the hot water, and the tension around his eyes and brow slowly eased from the warmth.
