Chapter 15: Late Night Bookstore

Zhang Xun was terrified, and the whole person was suppressed.

Looking at his exaggerated reaction, Comrade Bai Xiang suddenly laughed, there was no ladylike image at all, but it could be seen that he was smiling extremely happily.

The whole person trembled, and Zhang Xun felt that she was even going to laugh and burst into tears.

"Hahaha, you...... Your reaction...... It's so funny......"

Bai Xiang clutched his stomach, his face was both happy and had a sense of success after a prank.

Zhang Xun also slightly realized at this time that he was afraid that he had been tricked, so he saw Bai Xiang's side of his body, and then dexterously held a thing in his hand.

Zhang Xun fixed his eyes, and it turned out to be a small and delicate metal rod, held in Bai Xiang's white slender hand, reflecting a cold light.

"Bang la la ......"

I don't know which switch was flipped up, and the metal rod suddenly emitted a crackling sound, and Zhang Xun even seemed to see blue electricity radiating out.

He immediately realized what the murderous thing was.

Stun batons!

A must-have artifact for wolf prevention!

Zhang Xun subconsciously sat farther away, although this thing instinctively made him uncomfortable, but fortunately, Bai Xiang was not that kind of strange species, which still made him deeply relieved.

But...... hid the electric shock baton so hidden, this slot still made Zhang Xun not vomit and unhappy.

"How's it going, scared, right?" Bai Xiang turned off the switch and asked proudly.

Zhang Xun wiped his sweat, the whole person was much more energetic, and he smiled bitterly: "It's really scared." ”

Bai Xiang squinted his eyes and held the electric shock baton, and said, "I call it Pikachu, and if you meet someone with bad intentions, you will call it to put 100,000 volts." ”

Zhang Xun exclaimed: "Very safe. ”

Bai Xiang seemed very satisfied with his praise.

At this moment, even the sorrow between her eyebrows was diluted a lot.

"There you have this. Bai Xiang smiled again, "Coupled with the slowness caused by alcohol, of course I have nothing to fear." ”

Zhang Xun didn't expect that pouring beer into herself would have this meaning in it, but she was not afraid of wine and intimidation.

But looking at Bai Xiang's appearance, she is clearly a delicately dressed rouge white tiger, and she is better worried about herself than worried about her.

Zhang Xun waved his hand and said nothing more.

Let Bai Xiang start the engine and speed in the night when no one is around.

……

……

Dozens of minutes, when Zhang Xun stood on the ground again, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In front of it turned out to be a building, not a residential building, but a commercial building.

The streets on both sides are also dominated by various businesses, which are not lively, but they are not deserted.

He was directly across from a medium-sized, brightly lit bookstore.

"White Elephant Bookstore. ”

The top sign is these four fonts that exude a soft white sheen.

There is also a number next to it: 24.

Zhang Xun was stunned for a while, he suddenly remembered a news he had read, a news that was not read much, that said that the first 24-hour bookstore in the city appeared, it seems, it was called White Elephant.

It's just that Zhang Xun is here for the first time.

"Let's go. Bai Xiang parked the car and walked over briskly and gracefully, the little accident before made her much happier, but after arriving here, her mood was low again.

"Is this your home?" Zhang Xun couldn't help asking.

Bai Xiang nodded, and said as he walked forward: "It used to be my father's property, but then I renovated it, let's go, go in and talk." ”

Zhang Xun followed, and when the glass door was pushed open, the soft light in the room sprinkled, and Zhang Xun's body, which was slightly cold due to the cold rain, suddenly warmed up.

The lights seemed to have a serene warmth, and this feeling made him very comfortable.

The layout of the store is very good, although the area is not particularly large, but it also gives people a very spacious feeling, the front is the counter, there is only a young male clerk sitting in it with his head down, hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately raised his head, and saw that it was Bai Xiang, he immediately stood up.

"It's fine. Bai Xiang shook his head slightly, and the clerk sat down, but what made Zhang Xun feel very strange was that he seemed to be depressed and even a little sad.

There seems to be no one else but this clerk.

Zhang Xun continued to walk forward slowly, looking around, on both sides of the first floor were exquisite bookshelves and dense book arrangement, and there were tables, chairs, and sofas in the bookshelves.

It seems to be for people to rest and read.

Looking inside, he saw several doors and small rooms, but he didn't know what they were used for.

Bai Xiang began to walk down the curved staircase towards the second floor.

Zhang Xun immediately climbed the stairs.

On the wall of the staircase are beautiful paintings with a strong humanistic atmosphere.

On the second floor, the layout is different from the first floor, the bookshelves are arranged in an arc, among which the chairs and tables are delicately distributed, and several plants also grow very delicately.

Bai Xiang quickly came to a small dark red door, and then opened the door lightly and beckoned, "Come in and sit." ”

Zhang Xun followed, only to find that this small room was really not big, equivalent to the size of a small bedroom, a soft and huge sofa took up a large part, and around it were old bookshelves, which were filled with books indiscriminately.

Zhang Xun glanced at it and found that most of them were research works on history, religion, philosophy, etc., unlike new ones, which seemed to have been read often.

In addition to these books, there are also short knives with antique scabbards and metal models of firearms on the shelves.

Look...... It's not cheap.

In addition, some basic living utensils are also available, which makes the hut more messy, and it is not as neat as the girl's room in Zhang Xun's fantasy.

"Sit down, what to drink?" Bai Xiang asked while pulling open a small Xiaoice box, lowering his head and picking and choosing.

Zhang Xun said helplessly: "I've drunk enough, and it's still a little up." ”

Bai Xiang couldn't help but smile dumbly and said, "I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Xun smiled indifferently, and then sat down on a low stool.

Soon, Bai Xiang returned with some things, she still gave Zhang Xun a glass of juice, and she carried back a bottle of wine with foreign letters.

"Alright, now we can get down to business. Bai Xiang gently opened the wine bottle and said, "You are looking for me, what is the matter?"

……

Zhang Xun glanced at the time, it was already about one o'clock in the morning, and his next decision-making time was more than eight o'clock in the morning, and there were seven hours left.

He pondered and began to think about how to communicate.

Yang Wei was the first time that he was kind to him, so Zhang Xun didn't need to give any specific explanation, and Yang Wei wouldn't delve too deeply.

However, this time, it is obviously not so easy to fool the past in the face of Bai Xiang, on the one hand, Bai Xiang has ample reasons to delve into it, on the other hand, Bai Xiang gives him a very clear feeling, this girl is very smart, so it is very difficult to fool the past.

The key problem is that the question he wants to ask is too weird, if it's just a weird question, it's okay, he can find a way to deceive him, but he also has to wait for the characteristic time to ask the question, this premise is too tricky.

"I do have a problem. ”

Zhang Xun thought for a while, and finally spoke.

Seeing his solemn expression, Bai Xiang was also more serious, she moved the delicate glasses on the wing of her nose, and asked, "What's the problem?"

Zhang Xun took a breath, stared at her, and said, "That's the issue I talked about in that post." ”

"Posts?"

"Well, it's the post where if you become a king and you have to make decisions to manage the kingdom of another world remotely. ”

Bai Xiang blinked, very surprised, surprised, and puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

Zhang Xun pursed his lips and said, "That is to say, on the basis of that question, I would like to ask you for a decision now, if there is a question about the kingdom that the king needs to decide, I hope you can give a reasonable suggestion that is most beneficial to the country." ”

After saying it in one breath, Zhang Xun looked at the girl who was stuck in the soft sofa opposite with apprehension.

Bai Xiang was holding the wine bottle, the whole person was stunned, and the expression on her face obviously became strange.

"You mean...... Suppose you're the king, and you're facing a problem that needs to be solved, and you want me to give you a reasonable suggestion?"

Bai Xiang's tone was strange.

Zhang Xun's heart skipped a beat, he even wanted to high-five Bai Xiang's keen intuition, it was not a talent to choose the brain, although Bai Xiang was just assuming, but he had already told the truth, but this "truth" I am afraid that Bai Xiang would never have dreamed that it was true.

Zhang Xun's face did not fluctuate, and after a few seconds, he nodded: "If this is easy for you to understand, you can also think so." ”

He decided to retreat as advance, and sure enough, after he said this calmly, Bai Xianghu's suspicious expression eased slightly.

She shook the bottle gently and calmly asked, "Why." ”

"It's just a brainstorming post, are you asking me out because of such a thing? Even if you have any special reasons, then why did you want to find me? We shouldn't have crossed paths before. ”

Bai Xiang sighed, stared at the young man opposite, and said, "You have to give me a reasonable explanation." ”

Zhang Xun secretly said in his heart that I knew it was not easy to be fooled, he could only phrase: "I am an online writer, and I have been working on a new book recently, and that post is my prototype, in order to make the plot as reasonable as possible, so I want to know what kind of impact a decision can have on the kingdom." ”

After a pause, he continued in a consistent tone: "As for finding you, it's just because you're the first person to seriously reply to my post, and I've read the highlight post you wrote, and I think you can give me good advice. ”

Zhang Xun is really a relatively silent person, and he doesn't like to talk very much, so his eloquence is also very average, and he can't say one thing perfectly, he can only be accurate and clear.

He felt that what he had said was clear enough, or rather vague enough, so he kept his mouth shut.

Bai Xiang blinked: "That's it?"

"That's all. Zhang Xun sighed in his heart, his face as calm as water.

Bai Xiang didn't respond immediately, she just leaned back slightly, her soft waist leaning on the leather sofa, in a state of thought.

The room was extremely quiet, and I could only hear the faint sound of the sound outside the window, and I didn't know if it was the night rain or the night wind.

After a long while, Bai Xiang spoke again.
