[Crown Prince...]
Xie Jianyu opened his eyes with a start.
He sat up straight on the bed, his wary gaze scanned the dark room for the person who had just spoken.
The room was empty with no signs of another's presence.
Xie Jianyu rubbed against his temples. Was he dreaming about an unknown voice?
When he decided to go back to sleep, the voice spoke up again.
[Crown Prince...]
"Who is there???"
Xie Jianyu grabbed Winter Frost and climbed off the bed.
The window locks came undone, and a gust of strong wind blew into the room. A colorful bird with familiar features perched at the window frame, tilting its head to the side and staring at Xie Jianyu.
Xie Jianyu's grip around Winter Frost slackened.
"Caihong?"
Caihong spread its wings and flew into the room. Usually, it would run directly into Xie Jianyu's arms and rub against his chest in a spoiled manner, but this time it chose to perch on the table.
