I opened my eyes and stared up at the ceiling.
It looked the exact same and for some reason, that annoyed me. If I had to be burned from the inside out, then I almost wanted everything around me to reflect the same battle I just went through.
Instead, all I could see was a pristine white ceiling.
Wait.... was that a speck of blood?
Okay. That was much more acceptable.
The heat that had both destroyed me and rebuilt me was gone and the pressure behind my eyes had stopped completely.
My arms didn't shake when I shifted my weight and my legs didn't tremble when I tried to sit up. At least Chenghai wasn't lying by my feet again.
My breathing stayed even, and I was almost myself again.
Satisfied that I would live, I looked around the living room, trying to find Chenghai, Zhenlan, Lingyun and Yuche. I honestly needed to know if they survived the rain, too.
The moment I turned my head, all four of them were already looking at me from different positions around the room.
