Sun Yixie woke up in the early morning.
He was not awakened by a small animal crawling on his face, nor by the chilly air of early spring, but simply woke up after having slept enough.
This of course did not mean that he had ascended to heaven, but rather that he was lying in a bed indoors, with a quilt over him.
After opening his eyes, Sun Yixie slowly sat up and began to recall the last thing he remembered.
Although he had a fever before the disaster, his memory was intact, and he clearly remembered that the cargo ship he and Hayato had taken was hijacked by pirates, leaving only the two of them alive. In the end, Hayato was captured by the pirates while he was thrown into the sea.
Thinking of this, Sun Yixie casually touched his forehead and only then did he realize, belatedly, that his fever had subsided and his joints no longer ached.
So, he got out of bed and lifted the quilt.
There were shoes by the bed, which he tried on, and they fit perfectly.
