The old man raised his brow and asked her curiously. "What kind of incense is that? Sandalwood or agarwood? "
"Sandalwood." Huo Yao did not even look up. She placed the incense burner on the coffee table and took out a lighter to light the incense.
The moment the incense was lit, the room was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood. When she took a closer sniff, she could smell the lingering scent of herbs, which made her feel comfortable.
The old man often burned incense, so he was knowledgeable about it. Moreover, he used the best incense, so he was clearly surprised when he smelled Huo Yao's incense.
"This incense... seems to have a lot of Chinese herbs in it." He paused for two seconds before he took a closer sniff and exclaimed in surprise. "It's a good incense."
Huo Yao raised her brow and glanced at the old man on the bed. "You sure know your stuff. How dare you claim to be from the countryside?"
The old man quietly drank two mouthfuls of porridge before he asked her. "Where did you get this incense from?"
He had used incense for many years, but this was the most comfortable he had ever smelled.
"I bought it online for 9.90 yuan, including shipping. Do you want it?" asked Huo Yao casually.
The old man's lips twitched. He placed the bowl on the cabinet and said angrily, "Who are you trying to fool? If you can buy this incense for 9.90 yuan, I will pluck my head off and give it to you."
"Your head is worthless." Huo Yao pursed her lips and sounded disgusted.
The old man, "!!!"
Do you believe that I will scare you to death when I tell you my identity?
Huo Yao put away the bowl and said, "Old man, you got lucky with this incense."
She did not intend to light a stick of incense for him. However, since her mother had told her to take good care of him, she reluctantly took one.
Based on the old man's comments about the incense, she could tell that he was not an ordinary old man.
She did not want to guess his identity, nor did she have the time to do so.
"What do you mean I got lucky? It's just 9.90 yuan. Here, I will give you 99 yuan for one box. "The old man was not happy to hear this.
Wherever he went, people would flatter him. Only when he was in front of this little girl did he lose all his dignity!
When he revealed his identity, he would definitely scare her to death!
Huo Yao's lips twitched. He wanted to buy her incense for 99 yuan?
Just a moment ago, he was still saying that he knew his stuff, but now … hehe, he was just a stingy old man.
"You should wash up and go to bed." Huo Yao glanced at him before walking out with the bowl.
When he closed the door, he used a lot of force.
The old master touched his chin inexplicably. His attitude when they were chatting just now was fine. Why did he suddenly change his attitude?
Sure enough, young people were temperamental.
The old man snorted and lay back on the bed. He pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes.
It was one thing for him to be unaccustomed to the climate, but he also had a serious habit of recognizing his bed. He didn't sleep much last night, so his body wasn't feeling very well today.
Now that he smelled this fragrance, his mind was much calmer. Very soon, drowsiness overcame him, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

The old man woke up early the next day. When he woke up, he felt refreshed. The chest tightness and discomfort from the day before were all gone.
The old man fell into deep thought when he saw the ashes in the incense burner on the coffee table. He quickly washed up and walked out of the room with the help of his walking stick.
