"Quit yapping, sell him the fruit and let him hurry off to the monastery. He might still make it for lunch!" Parsons remained stone-faced, turning to pick out fruits.
Even though he looked gloomy, Erica noticed that he took fruit picking seriously. He only picked the perfect ones.
After buying the fruits and flowers, Erica and Larkin said their goodbyes to Mr. and Mrs. Parsons.
Once they were a bit away, Larkin explained to Erica, "They've been selling fruits here since they were young. They met my teacher early on. As a kid, I didn't like the meals at the monastery, so Mr. and Mrs. Parsons would sneak me lots of fruits."
"No wonder you're so cute. It's because you were cute since you were a kid, huh?" Erica said with a beaming smile.
Larkin immediately laughed.
After climbing a long flight of stairs, they arrived at the entrance of the monastery.
Upon hearing they were there for the old monk, the other party became somewhat guarded, "What business do you have with the him?"
Larkin replied gently, "I used to be his student. I heard he hasn't been well lately, so I came to visit."
"I've never heard of him having any living students!" The nun instantly got on high alert.
"What's the matter?"
At this point, a monk emerged from inside.
Larkin heard the voice, paused for a moment, then looked over.
The other party's gaze landed on him.
Larkin gave a slight nod.
"Larkin?" The other party paused for a moment.
"Long time no see, everything alright?"
"You... you're here to see your teacher?" The monk's gaze fell on Erica.
"Hello," Erica greeted.
"She..." The monk glanced at Larkin with a complex look.
Larkin gave a slight nod.
The monk sighed deeply, "Wait here, I'll go tell your teacher."
"Thank you."
