Chapter 838 The Strange Bookstore Owner



This person's appearance did scare a few girls.

However, when they saw the boss's appearance, they felt strange.

Probably because the man's appearance and the style of this store seem so inconsistent and disharmonious.

He had a sloppy appearance, a beard that looked like it hadn't been taken care of for a long time, a pair of cloudy eyes, and a lifeless spirit.

He is like the greasy middle-aged man described by many marketing accounts, who has lost all hope for tomorrow and life.

Tang Yue subconsciously wanted to pull them away, but their condition made her think of the recent instability in social news.

Out of politeness, Lin Xuan'er stepped forward and expressed her apology: "I'm so sorry, we'll buy something before we leave."

At this time, Su Yin looked at the man carefully, as if she wanted to see something from his face that had not been washed for a long time.

Wang Xingrui didn't quite understand Su Yin's actions, but she felt that she must have her own reasons for doing so.

"Thank you very much," the man said, not caring at all about Su Yin's scrutiny. "You're celebrities, so you definitely don't mind spending money. Remember to buy more, so I can have food money for next month!"

Lin Xuan'er smiled awkwardly and had to pick a few books from the recommended shelf and put them in front of the boss.

"1800 in total."

The boss said with a grin, he looked at the four people's faces with interest, as if he was looking forward to their next reaction.

Even though they are very rich, Tang Yue is not the type to be taken advantage of.

"How come these four books are only 1800? This is too heartless! Are you trying to blackmail us?"

She looked back at the shelf and was shocked to see that the owner had actually written such an outrageous price on it:

[Single copy 500, set 1800, hurry to buy!]

Wang Xingrui gently squeezed Lin Xuaner's palm from behind, as if to remind her to buy in and leave quickly. This strange boss gave her an uncomfortable experience.

It reminded her of the weird villains in the novels she had read.

"Boss," Su Yin suddenly said, "Have we met somewhere before?"

The first time she saw the boss, she felt that he looked familiar.

It should be said that she had no impression of this man's appearance, but she caught a glimpse of a special aura in him.

She must have seen this man somewhere!

However, the boss's reaction was quite calm, as if he didn't understand what Su Yin was saying at all.

"You've seen me before? You must be mistaken. I'm just a piece of social trash who lives on eating and waiting to die. I have nothing to do with you. Little girl, don't think I can give you a discount just because you have a relationship with me. That trick won't work!"

Lin Xuan'er paid the bill hastily and left the bookstore with her good sisters.

"Let's go back to the hotel!" Lin Xuan'er glanced at the time and felt that if they stayed here any longer, they would probably run into more and more fans. If that happened, they wouldn't be able to go back.

"Sure." Wang Xingrui nodded, but she noticed that Su Yin beside her was still struggling.

Tang Yue glanced at Su Yin, obviously not quite understanding what she was thinking.

"Xiao Xiao Su, you are not still thinking about that boss just now, are you? Or do you really think you have seen him?"

"Yeah." Su Yin nodded seriously: "I'm sure, I have definitely seen him. Do you believe me?"

The other three nodded at the same time without hesitation: "Of course!"

Su Yin chuckled and immediately stopped dwelling on the matter. "Let's go back to the hotel and then have the buffet downstairs!"

Zhou Yiyang lives on the same floor as them.

After the meeting and dinner, Zhou Yiyang returned to his room alone.

But when he took out the room card and prepared to open the door, the door opposite opened.

"Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Yiyang looked at Su Yin opposite him, thinking that the other party must have something to talk to him about.

Su Yin nodded and walked cautiously to Zhou Yiyang: "Brother Yang, I have something to tell you."

"Come inside and talk!"

Su Yin agreed and went back to the house to take four books.

After Zhou Yiyang heard the whole story, he didn't say a word, but opened the four books.

"Didn't you realize it was a used book when you bought it?"

"Well," Su Yin explained embarrassedly, "We were in a hurry to leave, so we didn't pay much attention. When we came back and unpacked them, we found that they were all old books."

"Hmm," Zhou Yiyang turned to the first page, which seemed quite normal. Turning to the back, his expression became more subtle. "Are there any annotations?"

"Yes." Su Yin could still remember the expressions of the four of them when they saw the dense annotations in the book.

Tang Yue was completely unbelievable, she even suspected that this was part of the book.

Lin Xuan'er was quite impressed. So many annotations showed that the original owner of this book was a very serious person.

Wang Xingrui had a wild imagination and suspected that the boss was some kind of hermit master, and that the book was actually a martial arts secret manual.

Unfortunately, she lacked the insight to understand the story behind it.

"Brother Yang, look," Su Yin pointed at a random passage. "This book is about acting. I think a lot of the things written in it make a lot of sense."

"Indeed," Zhou Yiyang nodded. "This book is about a director, and he wrote it in an interesting and insightful way. I have to say, the original owner of these books was definitely a wonderful person!"

"So Brother Yang, do you think these books belong to that boss?" Su Yin asked cautiously.

Zhou Yiyang narrowed his eyes. "You just said that he looked familiar to you the first time you saw him?"

"Yeah." Su Yin nodded: "But I really can't remember who he is. I've been with you all most of the time in the past few years. If I've seen him before, you must all have an impression of him. Could it be when we were kids? That doesn't make sense!"

"Could it be... you've seen him in a movie?"

Zhou Yiyang's idea seemed very strange, but after Su Yin heard it, she actually racked her brains to think about it and found that it was really possible.

"Yeah, Brother Yang, if he's an actor, it seems normal for him to write these things... But why is he staying here?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to ask the person myself." Zhou Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth, with deep curiosity in his eyes.

Without further ado, Zhou Yiyang put on his coat and left the hotel.

Su Yin thought about it and decided to follow Zhou Yiyang.

After ten o'clock, the town returned to its peaceful state. Tourists had wisely channeled their restless excitement into the night market, leaving only a few 24-hour convenience stores still lit in the main city.

"It's closed." Zhou Yiyang sighed somewhat disappointedly: "Let's come back tomorrow!"
