Strangely, the voice inside his head wasn't his own. More like, it was Chao saying him those words. And it helped. His trembling ceased and a slight smile appeared on his face. He opened his eyes again and saw his fuming mother.
"What are you? Mental? Smiling like that? Do I have a freak child that loves pain?!" she exclaimed and made a disgusted face.
"Oh, no, mom. Even though, me, developing such a taste, would be a result of your beating. But, no, I just remembered a good friend of mine, telling me something." Yitian said calmly. and his slight smile became even bigger. Irritating his mom so much her face became red.
