Chao woke up aching all over his body. His bed was slightly harder than he was used to, and he felt lonely there alone. In the middle of the night he thought about going over to Yitian's room, but then, Yitian needed a lot of rest before today, so he scrapped that idea.
He sat on the edge of the hotel bed and moved his head around. His neck was hurting, and it made a few cracking sounds when he did that.
After a while, he got up and looked at his phone. It was still early in the morning. And their match was in the evening. He didn't have to be up early, but he still woke up before his alarm rang.
Chao took a shower and put on fresh clothes, to go down in the hotel dining room to eat breakfast. The entire team would probably be up already too.
They had a fixed schedule, and they were all woken up regularly at eight am, so Chao knew they got accustomed to waking early. He took the elevator down and when he walked into the dining room, he instantly knew he was right.
