Chao opened the door to their apartment and walked in together with Yitian. They came back very late because they had to deal with Nou Rao first.
"It had to be done…" Chao said calmly while taking off his shoes. Yitian looked at him half sad.
"I know, it was dangerous. But she is my mother. I can't just be happy after something like that." Yitian ran his hand through his hair and walked into the living room. They both exhausted fell onto the couch. Yitian looked at them and the light-colored sofa and sighed.
"We will make it dirty and wet. Change your clothes and I will clean them," he said standing up, but he was pulled back down by Chao. He landed safely on the sofa and at the exact moment, Chao laid his head on Yitian's shoulder.
"Let me take a break for a while, please," Chao said and closed his eyes.
'Something is wrong.' Yitian thought and put his hand on Chao's forehand. He could feel the hotness of his skin. This kid had a fever and it was pretty high.
