The boss instantly looked up at the young man in a suit. No matter how he looked at him, he didn’t look like he would kill a chicken.

However, in the face of the girl’s unreasonable request, the man only smiled and reached out to take the chicken from the boss. He raised his hand and chopped off the chicken’s head, causing blood to splatter all over the ground. The boss was dumbfounded. He was a restaurant owner himself, and he often killed fowls. However, he had never seen anyone kill a chicken in such an imposing manner. It was not strange for this man to chop off a person’s head.

He subconsciously touched his neck and dodged to the side in guilt and fear. He nodded like a chick pecking at rice and said, “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll leave this place to you. If you need help with anything, my number is on the door.” “Thank you, Boss.” Shi Man smiled without changing her expression, making him feel even more creeped out.

This little girl was also an anomaly. She could actually smile when she saw such a bloody scene.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these two people must have a powerful background. In any case, there wouldn’t be any other guests in the manor now, so it was better to just let the two of them play.

After the boss left, only the two of them were left in the empty manor.

Yi Zheng held the completely dead chicken and asked lazily, “How do you want to eat it?”

Shi Man lowered her head seriously and thought for a while before giving an answer seriously. “Roast it.”

Yi Zheng did not comment. He took the chicken to boil in a pot of hot water. Then, as if he had handled it a million times, he skillfully plucked the chicken’s feathers and removed its internal organs.

Shi Man sized him up thoughtfully and suddenly asked, “Did you secretly practice cooking at home after the last competition?”

Yi Zheng’s clean actions suddenly stopped, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye. “Why do you ask?”

Shi Man sneered. “The last time you were in my kitchen, you were clearly very unfamiliar with cooking. It was obvious that you had never done it before. Why are you suddenly so familiar with it this time?”

Yi Zheng smiled shyly. “I didn’t lie to you last time. I know how to make some simple dishes. It’s just that there weren’t many ingredients in your fridge at that time, so I could only choose a few items to make.”

Shi Man smiled and said slowly, “Then let’s see your true strength today.”

“Okay.” Yi Zheng looked up slightly, his eyes filled with joy. “Go outside and play first. I’ll call you when it’s done.”

Shi Man wanted to stay and help, but she thought of something more important and did not say anything else. She nodded and went out of the cafeteria.

She worked outside for a long time until Yi Zheng came out to call her. Only then did she put her frozen hand into her pocket. “Take it out and eat. 1 just made a snow cave. Do you want to try it?”

Yi Zheng widened his eyes and looked at the snow cave that was more than a meter tall. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, I’ll pick up some firewood to start a fire.”

This was the first time Shi Man had shown her playful side. Yi Zheng naturally had to go along with her and let her reveal all her unknown personalities in front of him.

Although the winter night was cold, there was a snow cave to block the wind, and there was a fire burning at the entrance of the cave. It was not very cold for people to hide inside.

Yi Zheng’s cooking skills were obviously much better than the last time. The two of them ate a portion each and lay comfortably in the hole to digest their food.

The cold wind was blowing outside, but it was all isolated outside. Only the two of them had a small world that was filled with happiness and warmth.

Yi Zheng looked at the pure white snowflakes above his head and suddenly turned to face Shi Man. His voice was clear and cold. “Do you want to lean over to keep warm?”

Shi Man glanced at him from the corner of her eye and lay still. “No, I’m not cold.”

Yi Zheng leaned over and held her hand. “If you like, I can stay here with you for two more days.”

In any case, Shi Man’s final exams had already ended. It did not matter if she did not go to school. Tang Zhe was also in the company, so it was not a big problem for him to leave for two days.

However, Shi Man clearly did not think so. She actually wanted to go back tonight. She turned her head and looked straight at him. “If I really stay here alone with you for a few days, I’m afraid my mother will urge me to get married when I go back.”

Yi Zheng chuckled softly as if he was imagining the scene at that time. He couldn’t hide the smile on his face. After being glared at by Shi Man, he restrained it a little. “I promised you that I wouldn’t do anything before you gave me your permission.”

Shi Man raised her fingers that were still grabbed by him and smiled mockingly. “What about now?”

Yi Zheng wanted to tease her for a while longer, but the long-lost burning sensation in his chest immediately made him speechless.

He suddenly tightened his grip on her hand. In the blink of an eye, he was already drenched in sweat. “Manman, hot poison.”

Shi Man sat up and unbuttoned his jacket quickly, trying her best to let the heat in his body dissipate. “I didn’t bring needles. I’ll drive you back.”

“It’s dangerous.” Yi Zheng grabbed her wrist tightly and refused to let go. He

struggled to get up and said, “There’s no need to go back. I’ll just endure it..”
