Gao Lingwei was stunned for a moment, then a wave of joy washed over her. But she didn't get up immediately, instead quickly composing herself.
Having some aftereffects after facing a Soul General was nothing to be ashamed of.
But Gao Lingwei preferred to endure it alone and get through this difficult time first. She didn't want Rong Taotao to worry—at least, not while he was so weak and had just woken up.
A few seconds later, Gao Lingwei composed herself, slowly got up, and said softly, "Taotao?"
"Mm," Rong Taotao hummed, sounding a little dazed. His actions, however, were anything but. His fingers started gently squeezing the pad of Gao Lingwei's ring finger, seemingly playing with it of their own accord.
Gao Lingwei didn't pull her left hand back, letting him play with it as she softly confirmed again, "You're awake?"
"Where is this? It's so dark," Rong Taotao's voice drifted out.
Hearing this, Gao Lingwei's heart settled. She said, "Hundred Corps Pass. Your office."
