Shu Guan had not expected today's attendant to be Wang Runling, so inevitably he asked with a slight surprise.
"Where's your father?"
Wang Runling, with sleepy eyes, glanced at him.
The last two times Shu Guan had visited, he had been wearing a mask. This time, having changed his face, it was natural that Wang Runling could not recognize him.
However, Shu Guan's immediate inquiry about Wang Maorong also indicated that he was a regular patron of this establishment.
"He's got some business today."
Wang Runling said through a yawn.
"Are you here to see a doctor or to buy medicine?"
Then Wang Runling asked another question.
"I would like to buy some tonics."
Shu Guan replied with a smile:
"The kind that ordinary people can use, I wonder if you have it here."
"Come in."
Wang Runling gave him another look, then turned with her hands in her pajama pockets and walked inside.
