Chapter 538 Feelings
Actually, he wasn't exactly wide awake. The boy was clearly lacking in energy and looked rather listless, but his eyes were still clear, so he must have been fully awake.

But Jiang Hui hadn't forgotten why she'd come today. Although she didn't know why the colonel was here, she decided to first offer her condolences to her classmate who had escaped unscathed.

“Taylor.” Jiang Hui nodded slightly.

"Jiang... classmate, you're here." The other person's expression was somewhat complicated, seemingly happy yet also with some surging emotions. The other person seemed to want to sit up, but was immediately stopped by Jiang Hui: "No need, no need, just lie down, you've only just recovered."

The other person tried and found that their hands and feet were weak, and that it was completely futile to sit up like that, so they had to stop moving with some frustration.

"I apologize for my rudeness." The other person looked at Jiang Hui with an apologetic expression. However, even in such a submissive posture, the other person remained neither humble nor arrogant, truly befitting a scion of a noble family, as one could see from their excellent upbringing.

“I heard it was you who asked to see me… You should rest for a few days. Nothing is more important than your health,” Jiang Hui said with a hint of disapproval.

The other person blinked before saying somewhat slowly, "No, it's nothing. I'm so grateful you saved me that day, otherwise I'm afraid I'd never open my eyes again. I should thank you... thank you!"

Jiang Hui looked somewhat helpless, knowing that this must be the reason why the other party had to see her so urgently after waking up.

It was undeniable that she had saved the person back then, and she almost couldn't get up herself either. But if the same situation were presented to her again, she would probably do the same thing, regardless of who it was. Back then, when she lent a helping hand, she didn't know that the person inside was Sanger Taylor, or even if there was anyone else inside. She actually deserved Taylor's thanks.

But this guy's in a bit too much of a hurry. He hasn't fully recovered yet, his body hasn't fully healed, and he's already rushing to see him. What could they possibly say in such a hurry? Are they supposed to sit there and lament who's more unlucky?

"You... Taylor, you'd better remember to wash yourself clean and get rid of this bad luck when you get back." This is really too unlucky.

There's also the concept of "washing away dust and gloom" in interstellar space. It's probably something that came from the Hua Dynasty after the fusion of all human races. She was quite surprised when she first heard that this thing was still around.

Taylor was surprised that Jiang Hui would say that, then gave a wry smile: "Yes, definitely—"

Then the two of them fell silent at the same time, one not knowing how to start the conversation, and the other not knowing what to say. The scene instantly became quiet.

Zong Ting on the other side remained silent, but Jiang Hui knew he was probably watching them closely. She was slightly distracted, wondering if he was getting speechless from their awkward silence.

"you……"

"I……"

The two remained silent, but when they suddenly spoke, they bumped into each other, which made them both quite embarrassed.

Jiang Hui paused for a moment and said, "You go first." Actually, she really didn't expect the atmosphere to become this awkward, completely different from what she had initially thought. The two of them actually had a pretty good relationship, at least for strangers who had only met a few times, their relationship could be considered good. But for some reason, after this life-saving incident, it wasn't as good as before.

That's what Jiang Hui thought. She just felt that the boy in front of her, who used to seem straightforward yet cunning, seemed to be looking at her differently. It wasn't that it was bad, but it was like there was some strange, subtle light mixed in, like he was watching her or scrutinizing her. He looked at her and made her feel quite embarrassed.

She wasn't a particularly warm-hearted person; on the contrary, she was somewhat aloof, and relationships were usually initiated by the other party. If the other party withdrew their advances, she could easily revert to her previous cold demeanor. This was why she didn't know how to start a conversation today, because the two of them weren't actually that close…

However, she was unaware that the other person didn't think that way. His attitude towards Jiang Hui had indeed changed somewhat, but not in the way she perceived—not in terms of distance or awkwardness—but rather because he didn't know how to express his gratitude to her. All the words he had prepared before arriving suddenly became stuck in his chest, and he couldn't utter a single one.

Sanger Taylor was not a well-liked child in his family, nor was he placed in a suitable position. Therefore, even though he grew up in a family that countless ordinary people dreamed of, he still did not enjoy many resources and instead lived a very repressed life.

His father was the head of the Taylor family, and his mother was the formally wedded matriarch of the Taylor family. His only heir was his older brother. However, as one of only two children in the family, Sanger Taylor's situation was vastly different from his brother's.

Growing up, he didn't enjoy many family resources. His older brother had a much higher status and more resources than him. Even though he had already yielded to his elder brother, he was still suppressed and couldn't hold his head up at home. No one really cared about him; they wouldn't even give him a second glance.

For a time, Taylor even doubted whether he was the Taylors' biological son, or whether he was someone they had picked up from outside... But whenever he saw his face in the mirror, a blend of his father's and mother's features, he suppressed the thought.

Yes, he found it ridiculous too. Couldn't he tell if they were blood relatives? He was certain that he shared the same bloodline as his father and brother, because they were all so cold-blooded.

He had long been disappointed with his family and never expected them to give him even a little bit of resources, so he quickly found his own way out.

The standardized test was the first step he had planned for himself, but things didn't go as planned... He almost drowned before it even began. It was a truly heartbreaking experience.

When he awoke from his daze, his family members hadn't appeared, as expected. Sanger wasn't surprised; in fact, he felt it was only natural. Shouldn't he have given up long ago?

The cabin was flooded, the mecha went out of control, and he knew he was doomed. He struggled and felt resentment, but in the end, he lost consciousness with resentment.

Sanger Taylor never expected to wake up. Heaven knows how he felt when he learned from the soldier guarding him the dangerous situation Jiang Hui had put him in to be rescued...

Finally, finally... this time, heaven did not let him down, and he was brought back to life.

Having died once and come back to life, this life is no longer the same as before.

Taylor naturally had mixed feelings about Jiang Hui, who had saved his life.
