"You shouldn't think much about it. If I have something to tell you, then I will tell you. Just focus on what you're doing right now and eat well," Bai Shijue said. 

Han Shun put the rice cakes on the tray. He looked at Bai Gege for a moment before walking to the customers for the rice cake. He felt useless when he saw Bai Gege looking troubled.

He wanted to do more for Bai Gege. He wanted to be useful. Since he knew there was no free lunch in this world, he had to be useful. That was why he worked everything in Bai Gege's residence and teahouse alone.

Still, even after working to the bone, he felt that his deed wasn't enough to repay Bai Gege.

But now, Bai Gege refused to tell him what was in his mind, and he couldn't force Bai Gege to say it. 

It made him feel pretty useless as well.

"Here is the rice cakes, wise gentlemen," Han Shun said as he bowed his head politely to excuse himself.
