After a long time, Xiao Ning felt itchy on his face, as if there were thousands of ants crawling on it, or as if there were soft hair brushing against his cheeks. He struggled hard, trying to lift his eyelids that felt like they weighed a thousand pounds. Finally, he opened his eyes with difficulty, and the scene in front of him made him wake up instantly.
