Although she never expected any reward from old Sir He, seeing his expression so full of bitterness and unease, she couldn't help but find it amusing.
With a teasing tone, she said, "So, Old Sir He, you have treasures, huh? Then I'll have to stick to you. What should we do about the traditional gift for becoming an apprentice? Shall I kneel and kowtow to you first?"
"You... stay away from me," Old Sir He frowned and rubbed his arms.
Before, when he saw the girl laughing, it was always warm and friendly. But now, somehow, her smile seemed cold to him.
"How can I show my respect if I'm too far away? Why don't we follow Granny Su's suggestion? I'll acknowledge you as my master and you can see me as your junior. In the future, I can have meat buns every day, how about that?"
If she could bring a glimmer of hope into Old Sir He's heart, giving him the will to live on and wait for his son's triumphant return, Lin Chuxia was willing.
