"It's me."

Recognizing Bai Zheng's voice, Jiang Zhao finally let out the breath he'd been holding. He immediately threw off the covers, slipped on the slippers on the floor, and went over to Bai Zheng.

He turned on the light. Bai Zheng was standing in the doorway.

"You finally agreed to talk to me." Jiang Zhao took Bai Zheng's hand and said happily.

"I'm hungry," Bai Zheng said.

"I'll make you something to eat." Jiang Zhao continued, "What do you want?"

"Chicken."

"There are plenty of fat, free-range chickens on the estate. I'll go catch one now. But until I do, you need to eat some bread to tide you over. I'm really worried you'll make yourself sick from hunger."

"Those chickens are for display, not for eating. And you're hurting my hand." Bai Zheng fixed his gaze on Jiang Zhao.

He seemed to be saying it on purpose to embarrass Jiang Zhao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to put it like that.

"Sorry." Jiang Zhao quickly let go of his hand. He could tell Bai Zheng was still angry, but pretended not to notice. He showed Bai Zheng to a seat in the living room and turned on the lights.

"Wait here a moment. There's food in the fridge. I'll have something ready soon." With that, Jiang Zhao tied on an apron.

Bai Zheng remained silent the whole time.
