"Shortly after you left, he was gone for about half an hour. As for what he did, I have no idea, and I didn't dare ask about the Shopkeeper's itinerary."
Da Shan quickly finished wiping the table in front of him. Picking up his basin, he walked toward the kitchen and urged, "Bai Xi, we need to hurry up. It's almost time to open."
"Oh! Okay."
Bai Xi wiped the tables in silence, but her mind was in turmoil. Was the Shopkeeper connected to that food box? Or was she overthinking it?
A short while later, the Shopkeeper returned.
Bai Xi stole a few glances at him. There was nothing wrong! From head to toe, he looked like a competent Shopkeeper, just a bit on the taller side. Noticing Bai Xi's scrutiny, the Shopkeeper didn't get annoyed. He generously let her look and even returned a gentle smile.
