The first thing Zou Yue saw when he opened his eyes was his father's wrinkled face. He moved back, and he hit another warm body. He glanced back in shock to find his mother sleeping with her arms around him. 'Shit, when did they get here!! What if they are infected!!' he sat up in a hurry.
His father's eyes opened immediately. "Yue! Yue, thank the lord you are okay." he hugged him tight.
Zou Yue froze slightly. He tried to wiggle his way out from the hug, but his father's grip tightened around him. "Dad, let go… I'm contagious....you might sick as well."
"Stupid kid. I'll just take the sickness away from you then." he gently patted his back.
Zou Yue's placed his head on his father's slouched shoulders and gently breathed in his scent. His eyes teared up involuntarily. "Don't say that dad, Hick, don't say that….. never say that. Be healthy and well live long for hundred years, I'll take care of you," he roared.
