The man had been working. There were several books open on his desk like last time.
He placed a cup of warm milk in front of Zheng Tan then went back to his work.
Zheng Tan looked at the cup. It was a new cup. Zheng Tan had a good impression of the man. He never used dirty cups even though Zheng Tan looked like a very plain cat.
He finished the milk, then took a tour around the room.
He realized there was a new drawing on the man's bookcase. It was clearly the work of children and was a picture of wintersweets. It was dated the day before yesterday.
A boy about Jiao Yuan's age came inside with a cake box full of wintersweets.
"Uncle Wintersweets, I got these from those kids." The child obviously didn't realize he wasn't old enough to call other children 'kids'.
Uncle Wintersweets? The name amused Zheng Tan. Was the man's name actually Wintersweets, or was it because he liked the flower so much?
