Hu Lei had some free time before she had the appointment that Doctor Shui had set up. So, she decided to go back to Cauldron Street. She wanted to thank the grandpa for the tea. At the same time, she was a bit curious about him, especially if he was the Zhong Elder's old friend.
Therefore, after the meal with Song Yin, she had Beatrice drive her to the Apothecary.
Like the last time, she knocked persistently on the door before the grumpy old man opened up. However, he did not show the same reluctance towards her as he had before. In fact, there was a certain glint in his eyes that betrayed a little pleasure.
"What are you doing here?" He still asked in a somewhat tsundere manner.
However, Hu Lei knew that he did not want her to leave. In fact, he was holding the door open for her, even as he spoke. He seemed to be beckoning her inside, but he did not want to show too much initiative.
