Bathing indeed proved to be extremely soothing and relaxing. Lying in the nearly scalding hot water for less than ten minutes, Xiao Ming felt his eyelids start to fight each other, and waves of heaviness washed over his head.
Barely allowing his mind to relax, he suddenly forced his eyes open.
Something wasn't right!
The feeling of exhaustion was too familiar to him; even when worn out to the point of collapsing, and able to fall asleep as soon as he lay down, he had never experienced such a heaviness in his head.
That was a symptom of having a cold or fever.
And he was certain that he wasn't sick.
Where did the problem lie?
I haven't ate or drank anything on the way here. From the moment I left the office until now, I've only drank half a cup of cola...
Xiao Ming was startled into standing up but felt the room spin dizzyingly, managing to stabilize himself by grabbing onto the wall.
