Hyakki grocery store
Chapter 18 Bookstore Owner
A new bookstore has opened next door to the Hyakki grocery store.
The white ghost didn't know the news until little friend Yun Mianmian brought home the advertising leaflet of the new bookstore.Although Boss Bai always knew that the owner next door had sold the store, and that the next door had been quietly renovating in the past few months, he never expected that the next door was actually a bookstore.
"Boss, let's go next door to buy books!" The little follower looked at Boss Bai with shining eyes, as if there were stars in his eyes, coupled with his cute smiling face and waxy voice, it was hard to refuse.
"You want to read?" Boss Bai looked at little girl Yun Mianmian in surprise.If he remembered correctly, in order to avoid going to school, Yunmian once hid her schoolbag and books in the dirt pit in the backyard of the grocery store.
"The TV series I like to watch the most is "The Fall of the Domineering President of the Desperate City" recently released a comic version." Yun Mian blushed, and finally told the truth.
"Okay." Boss Bai never treats "child labor" harshly, so he will try his best to fulfill Yunmian's rare request.What's more... Now that the new neighbor has started business, White Ghost naturally has to go to say hello.
Boss Bai got up from the sofa, wearing a white silk blouse with gold embroidery and an elegant horseshoe collar. The slightly raised collar exuded a sense of heroism.
The silk trousers on the lower body are ankle-length, making them look light and stylish.
Considering that it was winter outside the store, the white ghost put on a white knee-length cashmere coat over his clothes, changed his slippers, and put on white velvet boots in order not to attract attention.
Besides himself, the White Ghost also put a thick scarf on Mian Mian who was wearing a plush coat.Because the little follower is still in school, Bai Gui didn't think about developing a hobby of women's clothing on Yun Mian.
After getting ready, one big and one small, they left the grocery store holding hands, turned around and went to the newly opened bookstore on the right side of the store.
The name of the bookstore is "Chenxi", a name without too much atmosphere, which sounds a little fresh.
So before entering the bookstore, Bai Gui always thought that the owner of the bookstore should be a young lady who loves to laugh, and he can chat with him about the type of fashionable clothes of the season.
But in the end, what the white ghost saw behind the counter in the bookstore was a...very boring man.
He runs a small bookstore, but wears a hand-sewn suit. Although he looks good, his face is cold, and he even shows some negative emotions when he sees the white ghost.
Why does this bookstore owner seem to hate himself?
The white ghost glanced at the bookstore owner with some doubts, but the other party turned his head away immediately!
Fortunately, he also thought that the decoration, environment, and feeling of this bookstore were very good, but the guy who opened the shop next door to the grocery store turned out to be a nuisance?
"It's so cold!" Yun Mian shivered suddenly, and covered her face with a scarf, "Boss, it's so cold in the bookstore."
so cold?The white ghost didn't understand.
The clothes on Mianmian's body are very thick, even when he left the grocery store, he didn't feel cold, but now he is standing in the bookstore?
The white ghost felt the surroundings again, only to realize that the bookstore really felt very cold, as if the air conditioner was turned on in winter.
Because the temperature in Boss Bai's body is much higher than that of ordinary humans, he seldom feels cold, and even feels hot in most places, even in winter.
But this store gave Boss Bai a cool and comfortable feeling, which he couldn't experience in other places, and it was also an important reason why Boss Bai liked the environment here in the first place.
Even Boss Bai can feel cool, so Yun Mian will naturally feel colder than outside the bookstore.This can also explain why there is not a single extra customer in the entire bookstore except Boss Bai, the little follower and that cold boss.
In such a cold day, people who go shopping all hope to get into the hot air-conditioned storefront to keep warm. Who would want to stay in this weird bookstore that looks like a world of ice and snow.
Turning his head and looking around, the white ghost even saw that the inside of the bookstore window was frozen!
"If it's cold, why don't you go back first?" Boss Bai bent down to look at Yun Mian, "Uncle Manager's air conditioner may be broken."
"Hmm..." Yun Mian hesitated for a moment, but still reluctantly walked to the front of the counter, grabbed the edge of the counter with both hands, and asked the Bingshan store manager, "Uncle store manager, is there any "Sex and the City" here?" The Fall of the Domineering President" comic book?"
"What?" The iceberg man obviously had never heard of this name.
"Yes……"
"Please wait a moment." The Bingshan Man didn't wait for Yun Mian to explain, he turned around and typed a line on the computer next to the counter——
Xuan Feng: Go buy a copy of "Sex and the City: The Fall of the Domineering President", my store doesn't have it!
The poorest assistant in the world: …
The poorest assistant in the world: My lord, you said you wanted this bookstore to take a high-end route.
Xuan Feng: What high-end books are not available in my store?The time limit is one hour, come on.
The poorest assistant in the world: …
"I've sent someone to buy the book you want." Bingshan Man rubbed Yun Mianmian's hair expressionlessly, "Are you the kid from the store next door? I'll bring it to you after I buy it."
"So, the way your store does business is to go to other bookstores to buy books and then sell them to customers?" Boss Bai expressed his displeasure because he was ignored many times.
As a result... that iceberg man turned his head away again!Still ignore him!
Boss Bai: I want to change neighbors!
After angrily leaving the bookstore with his little follower, Boss Bai swore that he would never set foot in that bookstore again!
After Bai Gui and Yun Mian left, only Bingshan Man was left in the bookstore.The other party looked at the bookstores that had been closed again, walked out from behind the counter, walked down a staircase next to it, and walked all the way into a dimly lit secret room.
There was a map of Splendid City on one of the walls of the secret room, and many photos were pasted on it. One of those photos was indeed Boss Bai walking on the road, with a big black cross drawn on it.
He came to Splendid City under the pretext of "looking for descendants of the Bai family", but the real purpose of this man who appeared next door to the grocery store as a "bookstore owner" was...
To avenge someone!
A man named Xuan Feng gently caressed a certain old photo with his fingers. The enlarged photo showed a young man with a handsome face but no expression. His hairstyle was a bit messy and his clothes were torn. She seems very reserved when facing the camera, but her light brown eyes are as beautiful as the morning sun.
When looking at this photo, the coldness on Xuan Feng's face seemed to melt in an instant, and there was a little tenderness in his expression.
But in the next second, that ray of tenderness turned into pain and heartbreak again.
"Chen Xi." The man shouted the name that had been imprinted on his heart all this time, his eyes were full of murderous intent, "I will definitely find the real murderer who killed you! Then I will tear him into pieces!"
If Boss Bai sees the photo belonging to "Chen Xi", he will be horrified to find that... the face in the photo is exactly the same as a doll he hid in the basement of the grocery store!
Even the clothes on their bodies are exactly the same!
that face...
It was exactly what Boss Bai looked like after he came back from the dead for the first time!
