Lisa failed to notice Hoseok’s expression. She accepted the tea from Jungkook easily and said, “Then, thanks.”

She recalled that her old man loved green tea, and he ought to like this one.

Lisa left the private room quickly.

After Lisa left, Hoseok asked his master in a plaintive voice. “Jungkook, what’s so interesting about this young lady? She looks like an ordinary middle school student to me.”

Jungkook was lost in his thoughts. He turned to glance at Hoseok before he said calmly, “She was the one who saved me a year ago.”

A look of surprise surfaced in Hoseok’s eyes. Jungkook had never brought up this topic before. Hoseok was puzzled. “She’s just a little girl. How could she save you?”

Jungkook picked up his cup and took a small sip. His handsome face turned a little more solemn as he reminisced about the past events for a few seconds. He said in a serious tone, “To this day, I haven’t figured it out.”

Hoseok was stunned.

Jungkook removed the long wooden box from the paper bag. It was a simple box, looking to be of poor quality. It was at a completely different level from the box she had given her grandmother.

Jungkook looked sad. For the first time, he learned firsthand what differential treatment meant.

Hoseok wanted to ask about the incident further but his gaze stopped at the long wooden box in Jungkook’s hands. Right after, he saw the strange expression on Jungkook’s face. Suddenly making the connection between the box’s shoddy appearance, and Jungkook’s expressions, his lips twitched.

“We made a loss,” muttered Hoseok softly.

They could probably buy over 1000 such boxes with a box of his master’s tea.

Hoseok could not bear to look at it any longer and covered his face. Then he coughed and said, “Miss Huo was kind in her intention. Why don’t you continue using the incense Old Mr. Pei gave you… and give this box to me instead?”

The quality of its external packaging did not look good, so the incense… Hoseok could not even begin to imagine how bad the incense would be.

Jungkook glanced at Hoseok indifferently and said, “Since she gave it to me out of the kindness of her heart. Is it right to give it to you?”

Then he lowered his eyes and pushed the clasp of the box.

Hoseok touched the tip of his nose and muttered. “I don’t see why it’s inappropriate. Moreover, how can you use such low-quality incense at a time like this? If you give it to me, it can at least be put to some use…”

For instance, he could use it at home to get rid of bad odor.

A strong scent of sandalwood incense wafted into Jungkook’s nose the moment he opened the box. After smelling it, he could even detect a slight scent of Chinese medicine.

Jungkook’s eyes narrowed. He turned to look at the fumes curling up from the incense burner. After a few seconds, he put out the half-burnt incense.

Hoseok was startled and asked him. “Master, what are you doing?”

Jungkook said nothing. He only waited for the sandalwood incense scent in the room to clear before he retrieved a lighter and lit the incense stick which Lisa had given him.

A starkly different and unusual sandalwood incense scent filled the room. Although it was intense, it was not stifling. Instead, it gradually transformed into a fragrant medicine scent.
