Buz was standing in the hall. When he saw Bald Jim coming in with a chainsaw, the corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously.
"Welcome to the party."
He walked towards Jim, looking at the chainsaw in his hand with a somewhat unnatural expression.
Although he was reluctant, Buz still had to do his job of entertaining guests.
Zhou Bai heard the sound of guests coming in, so he picked up the things on the table and walked downstairs.
Jim didn't have much feelings for Buzz.
He nodded to him, then looked past Butz and looked directly at Zhou Bai.
"Now, this is your gift."
Bald Jim boldly handed a large box to Zhou Bai.
Zhou Bai took the gift, took out a crumpled ball-shaped gift from the bag, and handed it to the other party.
Bald Jim doesn't care much about gifts.
Without even looking at it, he put it directly into his pocket.
Buz, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed as he watched Zhou Bai and Jim exchanging gifts.
"Sir, I...I don't know what gift to give."
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 think of this as a gift."
Zhou Bai was just afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he found something at random.
But it seemed that Zhou Bai had accidentally pointed out something important.
Buz was a little stunned.
He hesitantly stretched his hand to his chest, and then slowly took off the badge.
"If you want it, sir, I'll give you this badge."
Seeing Buz's reaction, Zhou Bai immediately guessed that he might have obtained some important item.
He glanced at the badge in his hand and felt that it was old-fashioned and seemed to be of some vintage.
Zhou Bai originally wanted to put the badge in his pocket, but after thinking about it, he pinned it to his chest.
Then he gave a crumpled gift to Buz.
Buzz looked at the badge on Zhou Bai's chest, then at the paper ball in his hand, and then smiled.
In the living room, tea and some snacks have already been placed.
Zhou Bai took Bald Jim and walked to the living room.
The whole way, Bald Jim was secretly looking around.
Zhou Bai knew that there should be something Bald Jim wanted to know in the castle, so he agreed to his invitation.
Therefore, I didn't feel strange about his behavior.
He took Jim and sat down in the living room.
The photo album in which the group photo was taken at the tomb was not put away by Zhou Bai. Instead, it was placed casually on the shelf.
It was obvious that the six people attending the party had conflicts with each other.
However, Zhou Bai still doesn't know what happened 10 years ago.
What's more, there are various interests among these people.
Therefore, Zhou Bai did not intend to hide the conflict and passively wait for others to attack.
How can you know other people's trump cards without making waves?
After Zhou Bai took Bald Jim to the living room and sat down, he told him that he needed to greet other guests.
He closed the door to the living room for him and walked out.
Zhou Bai and Buz 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 shabby car.
He saw Buz and Zhou Bai standing at the door, as well as Austin, who had arrived one step ahead of him, and showed a naive smile.
Austin seemed to recognize the round-faced boss, so he rolled his eyes rudely and stopped looking at him.
He picked up the gift from Zhou Bai with two fingers and said angrily.
"What a lousy gift. It's so ugly."
However, even though I disliked it, I still didn’t forget to accept the gift.
Zhou Bai and the candy shop owner also exchanged gifts, and then led them towards the living room together.
When Zhou Bai opened the door to the living room, he obviously saw Bald Jim looking a little panicked.
Moreover, his face was much darker than when he saw him just now.
Zhou Bai invited Austin and the round-faced boss to sit down on the chairs.
His eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at the cabinet where the photo album had just been placed.
And that photo album, no surprise, has disappeared.
Zhou Bai was very satisfied with this result, and then he waited for the storm to come.
He closed the door to the living room again, leaving the three guests, who were somewhat awkward with each other, to get along by themselves.
Then he walked out again.
Zhou Bai took out his mobile phone, and the screen showed the current time, which 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's steps were slow and he seemed to be walking with great difficulty.
Zhou Bai felt a strange feeling.
Turning to Buz, he said, "Come on, let's drive over and take a look."
So, Zhou Bai got into the car driven by Buz and approached the figure.
When he came to that person, Zhou Bai recognized him.
The man walking towards the castle turned out to be the owner of the record store.
His head was covered with snowflakes, and although his condition seemed better than last time, he was still frighteningly skinny.
Zhou Bai was startled and drove down quickly.
"Old sir, why did you come here on foot?"
The old man held Zhou Bai's hand a little weakly.
"I don't have any extra money or family, so I have to make it on my own."
Zhou Bai suddenly felt a little sad.
Support him and walk to the car.
The old man entered the car and the color slowly returned to his face.
After entering the castle, he took out a somewhat worn box from his arms and handed it to Zhou Bai.
"Take it, this is my gift to you."
Zhou Bai silently took the box, took out his own gift, and handed it to him.
By this time, Buzz had parked his car and walked over.
Zhou Bai asked him to escort the record store owner 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 didn't expect that people selling decorations could be so rich.
Zhou Bai stared at Kevin in the driver's seat, fearing that he would come wearing Santa Claus clothes.
In this case, you may have to take action in advance.
Fortunately, when he got out of the driver's seat, he was still wearing his favorite tights.
I saw that he was holding a colorfully decorated 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 filled with decorations placed in the corner of the hall.
