"I never knew you liked eating this much," Zheng Liang said, catching the pillow with amusement in his eyes.
Yang Ning was startled to find Zheng Liang standing at the entrance, holding the pillow against his chest, his lips curling into a knowing smirk.
She immediately closed her mouth and blinked her eyes, wondering, 'Did he hear everything I said earlier?'
She gulped nervously, fretting that he might have overheard her stressed-out ramblings and would uncover her secret, one she had not shared with anyone yet.
"You...when did you come back?" she asked, hesitantly and stuttering.
Zheng Liang walked towards her, stuffing the pillow into her hands, and leaned closer, surprising her with their sudden proximity. "I arrived when you were wishing for a long life and savoring delicious food. I never knew you loved food so much that you pray for it when you're alone," he teased.
