KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
Stepping into the tailor shop, Yu Zhun habitually knocked on the door. He hadn't expected a response, but to his surprise, a familiar, aged voice echoed from inside.
"Coming!"
An old woman with a worried expression hurried out and grabbed their hands. "It's truly been a long time since we had any customers here. Please, come right in, you two."
Yu Zhun wondered why the old woman was here. Doubts welled up in his heart, but he kept a straight face and offered a faint smile. "Thank you, ma'am."
"You're too polite," the old woman smiled. "You must be thirsty from your journey, right? I'll go pour you some water."
"Wait!" Yu Zhun's heart gave a jolt, and he quickly pulled her back. "There's no need for water. We aren't thirsty yet."
"Is that so..." The old woman nodded. "Alright then. There's nowhere to rest in the shop itself, so why don't you two follow me to the backyard? I can tidy up a place for you to rest."
