บท 152: Milksop

Chao woke up again when it was already dark outside. He looked around, his mouth dry at how thirsty he was, but he did not know if he even had water here.

He slowly got up, his body aching all over. He just hazily remembered his conversation with Yitian, he must have a really high fever because he couldn't remember what exactly was going on. But he knew one thing. There was a problem with something.

Chao sat up faster than his body could take, so he fell back onto the bed, his head dizzily swinging around. 

"Oh, you are awake?" Huobai asked surprise could be heard in his voice. Chao, afraid of getting another round of dizziness from sitting up, just waved his hand and kept his eyes closed.

"Yitian called that he will be back soon, don't worry," Huobai said, turned the lights on, and walked over to Chao with a tray in his hands. He put the tray on the night table and sat down on the chair that was standing beside the bed.
