Chapter 154 All the guests arrive
Bootz stood in the hall, and when he saw bald Jim coming in with a chainsaw, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Welcome to the party."
He walked towards Jim with an unnatural expression, looking at the chainsaw in his hand.
Although he is reluctant, Boots still has to do a good job of entertaining guests.
Zhou Bai heard the sound of a guest coming in, so he picked up the things on the table and walked downstairs.
Jim doesn't have too much feeling for Boots.
nodded to him, then looked past Boots and looked directly at Zhou Bai.
"Hey, here's your gift."
Bald-headed Jim heroically handed a large box to Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai took the gift, took out a crumpled spherical gift from the bag, and handed it to the other party.
Bald Jim doesn't care much about presents.
Without even looking at it, he just put it in his pocket.
As for Boots, watching Zhou Bai and Jim exchanging gifts, his expression became a little embarrassed.
"Sir, I...I don't know about presents."
Zhou Bai saw that he was a little at a loss, so he smiled and looked at his clothes.
Then, he pointed to the badge on his chest.
"Just this, just treat this as a gift."
Zhou Bai was just afraid of embarrassing him, so he randomly found something.
However, it seems that Zhou Bai accidentally pointed to something important.
Booz was a little stunned.
Hesitantly stretched out his hand to his chest, then slowly took off the badge,
"If Mister wants it, this badge is for you."
Seeing Boots' reaction like this, Zhou Bai immediately guessed that he might have obtained some important prop.
He glanced at the badge in his hand, only to feel that it was old-fashioned, and it seemed to be a bit old.
Zhou Bai originally wanted to put the badge in his pocket, but after thinking about it, he still pinned it to his chest.
Then he gave a bunch of crumpled presents to Boots as well.
Bootz looked at the badge on Zhou Bai's chest, then at the ball of paper in his hand, and then smiled.
In the living room, tea and some snacks have already been placed.
Zhou Bai led the bald Jim to the living room.
All the way, bald Jim was secretly looking around.
Zhou Bai knew that in the castle, there should be something that Bald Jim wanted to know, so he agreed to his invitation.
So, I didn't feel strange about his behavior.
He took Jim and sat down in the living room.
And the photo album that took the group photo of the grave was not put away deliberately by Zhou Bai, but placed on the shelf randomly.
The six people who attended the party had conflicts with each other, which was obvious.
However, Zhou Bai still doesn't even know what happened 10 years ago.
What's more, it is the various interest relationships among these people.
So, Zhou Bai didn't intend to hide the conflict, passively waiting for others to attack.
If you don't make some waves, how will you know other people's cards?
After Zhou Bai took the bald Jim to the living room and sat down, he told him that he needed to meet other guests.
closed the door of the living room for him, and then walked out.
Zhou Bai and Boots stood at the door for five minutes, and finally welcomed the second and third guests of the castle.
Austin and the round-faced owner of the candy store arrived almost at the same time.
The round-faced boss came in a small broken car.
Austin seemed to recognize the round-faced boss, so he rolled his eyes rudely and stopped looking at him.
Using two fingers, he picked up the gift from Zhou Bai in disgust, and said angrily.
"What a broken gift, it's ugly."
However, if you dislike it, you don't forget to accept the gift.
Zhou Bai and the owner of the candy store also exchanged gifts, and then led them to the living room together.
When Zhou Bai opened the door of the living room, he clearly saw that the bald Jim was a little flustered.
And his complexion was much darker than when he saw him just now.
Zhou Bai invited Austin and the round-faced boss to sit on the chairs.
My eyes, intentionally or not, looked at the cabinet where the photo album was just placed.
And that photo album, no surprise, has disappeared.
Zhou Bai was very satisfied with the result, and next, he waited for the storm to come.
He closed the door of the living room again, leaving the three guests who were a little awkward with each other to get along by themselves.
Then he went out again.
Zhou Bai took out his mobile phone, and the current time was displayed on the screen, and it was already 5:55 pm.
The sky began to slowly darken.
In the sky, at this time, snowflakes began to fall again.
He frowned and looked forward, only to see a small figure in the distance, slowly walking towards this side.
The man was a little slow-moving, as if walking very hard.
Zhou Bai felt a strange feeling.
Turning his head to Boots, he said, "Come on, let's drive over to have a look."
So Zhou Bai got into the car driven by Boots and approached the figure.
When he came to that person, Zhou Bai recognized him.
The person walking towards the castle turned out to be the owner of the record store.
His head was covered with snowflakes. Although his condition looked better than last time, he was still frighteningly skinny.
Zhou Bai was taken aback, and hurried down the car.
"Mister, why did you walk here?"
The old man held Zhou Bai's hand weakly.
"I have no extra money and no family, so I can only walk here by myself."
Zhou Bai suddenly felt sad.
Helping him up, he walked to the car.
The old man got into the car, and the blood slowly returned to his face.
After entering the castle, he took out a somewhat worn-out box from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Bai.
"Take it, this is a gift from me."
Zhou Bai took the box silently, took out his gift, and handed it to him.
Booz had parked his car at this time and walked over.
Zhou Bai asked him to take the owner of the record store into the living room, while he stood at the door, waiting for the arrival of the last customer.
After 6 o'clock, Kevin, the owner of the decoration shop, drove a luxury car and stopped in front of Zhou Bai.
I never thought that a decoration seller would be so rich.
Zhou Bai stared at Kevin in the driver's seat, afraid that he would come over wearing Santa Claus clothes.
In this case, I may have to do it in advance.
Fortunately, when he got off the driver's seat, he was still wearing his favorite tights.
I saw a fancy gift box in his hand.
After stepping into the castle, he smiled and greeted Zhou Bai warmly.
But soon his eyes fell on the pine tree full of decorations in the corner of the hall.
