But the man on the ground had his eyes squeezed shut, completely motionless.
"Hey, stop playing around and get up." Zhi Wan gave him a light kick.
But the man remained still.
Now, Zhi Wan started to panic.
She quickly crouched down and nudged his arm. "What's wrong with you? Wake up!"
"Hey, stop sleeping! Get up!"
Seeing no sign of him waking, Zhi Wan switched to patting his face. "Hey, if you don't wake up, I'm going to leave—"
"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH..."
A sudden coughing fit cut off the rest of Zhi Wan's sentence.
She looked at him, delighted, and saw him slowly open his eyes.
The man looked dazed at first. Upon seeing Zhi Wan, he seemed surprised. "You… What are you doing here?"
"I don't know either." Zhi Wan shook her head. "By the way, are you okay? I was just calling you, but you wouldn't wake up."
"I'm fine." The man's voice was a little hoarse. He propped himself up on his elbows and slowly sat up on the sand.
