Chen Kai felt a bit awkward under her gaze.
"What's wrong? Have we not seen each other for so long that you don't recognize me anymore?"
The landlady regained her composure: "What nonsense are you talking about? Even if we don't see each other for three or five years, I'd still recognize you. After all, you're the one who saved my son's life. Plus, you're a regular customer at our shop. I was just surprised to see you here, so I was a bit taken aback earlier."
Chen Kai sighed softly: "Let's not discuss these matters for now. Earlier, the teacher asked you why you came so early today. Isn't your shop busy?"
The landlady also sighed.
"Don't you know the situation of our shop? It's always barely surviving. Although it's enough to keep us from starving, getting rich from it is absolutely impossible. There wasn't much business today, so I came over a bit early."
