Zhang Xun had a calm face and did not move.

Then he pointed to the sign at the door and said, "Closed today." ”

"I know it's not open, I'm looking for Bai Xiang and calling her out. The man frowned impatiently.

Zhang Xun was unmoved, he had no good impression of this person, but it seemed that the other party should be acquainted with Bai Xiang, as for what kind of grievance it was, he didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand.

"She's not here. ”

Thinking of Bai Xiang's drunken state, it was obviously impossible to wake up at this time, so Zhang Xun simply lied directly.

However, this man dressed as a businessman couldn't help but sneer: "No, her car is still outside, you said she's not there?" Okay, I won't tell you more, I have something to do with your boss, hurry up and call her out, do you understand?"

The lie was punctured.

Zhang Xun didn't feel the slightest embarrassment, he just glanced at this person coldly, and simply didn't say a word.

The man frowned, very dissatisfied, sneered, and actually walked directly over Zhang Xun to the stairs leading to the second floor.

However, he only walked a few steps before Zhang Xun walked out and blocked his way.

"What are you doing?"

The two men asked in unison, their faces sank.

Although Zhang Xun was not born strong, he was better than young, and with a face, it still made middle-aged men a little jealous.

The two looked at each other for a while, and seeing that Zhang Xun did not retreat, the man gave up his intention to break in.

"You're faithful, yes, yes. The man glanced at Zhang Xun a few times, laughed angrily, he straightened his waist, and said, "Bai Xiang didn't tell you, why did she close the door today?"

Zhang Xun frowned slightly, Bai Xiang really didn't tell him this, and he didn't understand what this man was doing when he brought it up at this time.

"It seems that she didn't tell you," the man smiled and said leisurely, "Bai Xiang is not kind to do this, this store is going to change hands, and he is hiding from his subordinates, which is not kind." ”

He took a few steps back, raised his head and continued: "Okay, then I'll tell you for her, your boss, I've already given me this store, tomorrow, tomorrow at noon, it will officially change hands, that is to say, what kind of bookstore is this, there will be no need to open it in the future, what about the future, she is not your boss, I am your boss, you know?" I see that your loyalty is good, and I will tell you first, good birds choose trees to perch, although you are not a good bird, but it's okay, Bai Xiang is gone, you can mix with me, and then you can come to the door, I think you are quite good at this. ”

The man laughed a few more times, as if he was quite proud of his arrangement.

Zhang Xun didn't bother to look at his rampant appearance, but he was stunned, and the store changed hands? What do you mean? Is the closure today not a suspension of business, but a complete closure of business?

Will it completely change hands at noon tomorrow? In other words, Bai Xiang was in the wrong mood last night, he was watching a movie and getting drunk, is this because of this?

Zhang Xun vaguely understood the reason for Bai Xiang's emotionality.

He was thinking about this here, but the new boss who was patrolling the territory only thought that this young man was stunned.

He turned around twice, suddenly walked over, stood very close to Zhang Xun again, and then said quietly: "Today, I came here by the way, and when I saw Bai Xiang's car, I came over to urge her to move away all the waste paper and useless broken books in this store as soon as possible, and I still have to find someone to clean it up, but since she is not there...... That's it. ”

"Well, when she's 'here', you tell her, hurry up, don't grind, you know?"

"As for your ......" The new boss seemed to want to sarcastically say a few words to Zhang Xun, but he suddenly saw that the eyes of the young man in front of him were as cold as ice, and he subconsciously felt a sudden burst in his heart.

"What's wrong with me?" Zhang Xun asked calmly.

The new boss laughed dryly, he vigilantly took two steps back to widen the distance between him and Zhang Xun, and only then did he think of a young man of Zhang Xun's age, the violent factors and hormones were still abundant and had not subsided.

The middle-aged man who firmly believed that porcelain could not be hard with the clay pot flashed his eyes and reluctantly said: "It's nothing, you can do it, hehe." ”

Then he turned and walked away.

When he walked out of the store and drove away, Zhang Xun stood outside the gate and watched him away with that kind of frightened gaze.

Zhang Xun was very unhappy.

Not because of the smug attitude that disgusted him by this villain, and not because of the decision he had made wrong before, but because he remembered the young girl who had spent time watching two war movies in one breath last night, and then lonely counting a pile of empty bottles to sleep.

She is only a few years older than herself, and she already has to endure those complicated and troublesome people and things.

It's really unpleasant.

There is also this warm White Elephant Bookstore that is about to close, this place that Zhang Xun just liked sincerely after getting along for half a night, but it is about to disappear.

This was something he didn't want to see anyway.

At this time, suddenly Zhang Xun heard a trace of movement behind him, he turned his head sharply, and saw Bai Xiang, who had just woken up, standing at the corner of the top of the stairs.

Of course, the hangover's face was not good-looking, her hair was disheveled, and her makeup was spent, but she stood there so calmly and weakly, holding on to the stairs, staring at him quietly.

"Are you awake?" Zhang Xun was slightly surprised.

"Hmm. Bai Xiang nodded slightly.

"Then ...... just now" Zhang Xun couldn't help but think, the scene just now wouldn't have been seen by her.

But Bai Xiang just put his hand on his forehead and exhaled, "Can you help me get a cup of ice water?"

……

……

After drinking a large glass of ice water, Bai Xiang's spirit seemed to be much better, but the dizziness caused by the hangover was still there.

Zhang Xun asked her to sit down in the store, and then looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.

This time was between breakfast and lunch, and after Bai Xiang expressed his opinion that he didn't want to sleep, Zhang Xun proposed that he should eat.

This suggestion was approved by Bai Xiang, but there was no stove here, and if there were, no one would use it.

So Zhang Xun had no choice but to order two takeaways.

There was a restaurant on this street, so it didn't take more than ten minutes for the takeaway cavalry to arrive, and the two of them adhered to the ancient precept of eating without sleeping or sleeping, and ate this breakfast and brunch, and then the two sat up again.

Bai Xiang rubbed his forehead and said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to fall asleep." ”

"It's fine. ”

"I've got you to call me at eight, huh...... Didn't wake up, did you?"

Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Bai Xiang smiled bitterly: "I don't sleep like a pig." ”

Zhang Xun recalled, and only Bai Xiang's slender and smooth leg was left in his memory.

Then he shook his head decisively: "Not like." ”

Bai Xiang shook his head and smiled, and said, "Now you have figured out that question." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xun made a bitter face and said, "I thought it out, but I don't need you to answer." ”

"Why?"

Because the time limit for answering has passed. ”

"Is there a time limit for this? I thought I could ...... it at any time" Bai Xiang was taken aback and looked at him very incomprehensibly.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he didn't seem to have reminded Bai Xiang that there was a time limit for decision-making, which was his own mistake.

However, this is all in the past, and although he still wants to know why he made the wrong decision, this is not what he is more concerned about.

"I'm not in a hurry, I want to know...... This store will be gone tomorrow, is it true?" Zhang Xun said in a serious tone.

Bai Xiang fell silent.

This made Zhang Xun's heart sink, and it seemed that what the man said was true.

"Who is that person, and why did you mortgage the store?"

Zhang Xun couldn't help but ask after all, this was a bit against his code of conduct, but after getting along for one night, he was really a little reluctant to take this place.

Bai Xiang sighed, and said a little bitterly: "That person, his name is Zhao Ji, and he has some business dealings with me, this shop is my family's industry, and it doesn't make money, it has always been regarded as a hobby, he came over some time ago and said that he wanted to buy it, he should have taken a fancy to this position, but I didn't agree." ”

"And then?"

"Then ......" Bai Xiang shook his head, his eyes were complicated, "Then he used some means, and gave me a set in business, you should know that the mall is like a battlefield, my recruit is indeed not an opponent, anyway, it is some not very bright way, in short, I was trapped by him with a contract, I didn't react at first, and then when he came to the door and said that he wanted this store, I understood, and then ...... It's nothing, it's terrible, I can't affect the company, I can only take this store to arrive. ”

"You know, tomorrow is the last day, I've already dismissed the staff in the store, last night was on the night shift, and he said he wouldn't use it, but he had to say that he was going to stand on the last shift, and this is not a TV series, and he is still standing guard, really. ”

Bai Xiang said this indifferently in his mouth, but his eyes were slightly red.

Zhang Xun could only be silent, and he asked again: "So you ...... last night"

"Last night...... Actually, it's a little reluctant, I thought I would only sleep here for the last night tonight, but I thought, that's too sad, and I have to pack up my things, so I chose yesterday, well, I was thinking about watching a movie alone, and then sleeping here for the last night, but I didn't expect you to suddenly come over, I thought, it's good to have someone with you. ”

Bai Xiang said, smiling, his face without makeup was plain, white, and covered with a touch of sadness.

This kind of melancholy is very contagious, and Zhang Xun can't help but feel a little sad.

Only then did he understand the reason why Bai Xiang was in a wrong mood last night, and he also understood the reason why she drank so much wine.

"So I'm going to let you take whatever books you like, anyway, these have to be disposed of at a low price, and you have to give some money. Bai Xiang said again, with a somewhat complaining tone.

Zhang Xun found that her voice was slightly hoarse.

The two fell silent for a long time.

Bai Xiang took care of himself, immersed in the atmosphere of parting, and couldn't extricate himself.

And Zhang Xun silently called out the light curtain, and then his eyes fell on the icon of "treasury".

He didn't want this place to be ruined like this, so he wanted to see if there was a silver lining.

According to past experience, after making a decision, there is a high chance that the treasury will be refreshed.

And when Zhang Xun clicked on the opening of the treasury, he really saw a new item.

[Incomplete Soul Gem: This gem is the alchemy work of the Forbidden City court mage, and the incomplete state can stimulate the favorability of others to the owner of the gem to a limited extent. 】

"Huh?"

Zhang Xun was taken aback, how could it be another soul gem? This item had obviously appeared last time.

The previous piece is still in his close-fitting pocket!

Zhang Xun was puzzled, and saw another line of text prompt appear:

[Two Broken Mind Gems Detected, Can Be Synthesized into Complete Mind Gems, Is It Synthetic?]

Yes or No.
