As the saying goes, great kindness needs no thanks, and great gifts must be accepted, so I can't turn this down

Huo Yuchen looked at him with a half smile. Fine. Just you wait.

Xu Su missed that underlying meaning. He had already turned around, wanting to pour Huo Ruhui some water.

But after looking around the room, he realized that the only drink in his home was the brown sugar bubble milk tea he had just bought downstairs.

"..."

Forget it. Milk tea is still tea. It'll have to do.

He briskly unwrapped the straw, stabbed it through the seal, and handed the drink to Huo Ruhui.

"Grandpa, have some tea."

Huo Ruhui: "??"

What kind of tea was this??

Huo Yuchen: "..."

This counted as tea??

The grandfather and grandson were baffled, as though they had discovered a new continent.

Xu Su frowned too. No way?? Neither of them had ever had brown sugar bubble milk tea?? Were they that frugal??

At some point, Old Mao the butler had arrived. During the three men's brief silence, he suddenly walked in.

"Sir, this is bubble milk tea, a drink that's popular everywhere these days."

As he spoke, he nodded respectfully to Xu Su, then looked back at Huo Ruhui.

"You can have a little to try it, but don't drink too much. It'll be time for your medicine soon."

As expected of the old butler the Huo family had employed for years, with just a few words, he had cleared up Huo Ruhui's confusion, protected his health, and spared Xu Su any embarrassment.

Three birds with one stone.

Xu Su nodded in admiration and asked, "Did you come together? How come I didn't see you earlier?"

Old Mao smiled. "The landing is narrow, with no room for three people, so I stood two steps farther down. That's why you didn't see me."

He meant that this place was too shabby,
