As he descended the stairs, Tangyu couldn't help but purse his lips, he was so close—his tongue nearly reaching out—and yet, Sister Xin had ruined everything. Oh, what a tragedy it was.
Feeling the breeze, Tangyu finally cooled down a bit and jumped into his car to head home as it was getting rather late. However, as he drove past Shiyi's house at the Medicine Hall, Tangyu couldn't resist stopping the car and going inside. It was after nine o'clock and the hall was quite deserted. At this hour, naturally, there were no customers coming to buy medicine. Grandpa Liu was there, deeply engrossed in a medical book until he finally noticed Tangyu approaching. Removing his reading glasses to see more clearly, his face immediately lit up with a warm smile, "Oh, it's Tangyu! Ha-ha, I didn't expect you to visit this old man so late at night."
"Ahem, Grandfather Liu, I just happened to pass by and thought I'd drop in. Is Shiyi around?" Tangyu glanced around but did not see Shiyi.
