"Please, come in. Next time you visit, just give me a call instead of waiting outside. The morning air is still quite chilly. What would we do if you caught a cold?" Shen Yibin quickly led Li to the second floor and poured her a cup of tea. "Please, have a seat. I'll go make breakfast now. The folks in our shop are a lazy bunch; we usually get up a bit late." Of course, Shen Yibin was just making conversation. The pet shop's customers were mostly around in the afternoon and evening. No one would come to buy a pet first thing in the morning, so they never opened very early.
"I brought some pickled vegetables—homemade pickled Rabbit. They might not look very pretty, but they taste quite good. I guarantee nothing unclean was used. I brought them for you all to try." Li, trembling slightly, took a glass jar from her bag and handed it to Shen Yibin. She wanted to express her gratitude to him and the others this way.
