Xia Xu got up early as usual, completed the high-intensity morning exercises he was used to, and then went to Xiaobaihua's bun shop to have breakfast.
"Give~"
Normally, Tang Zhan would be greeting the buns when they were selling them, but Xia Xu's treatment was obviously a bit special, as Xiao Baihua stood on tiptoes and handed them over in person.
Her little face was flushed, and she didn't know whether it was out of shyness or the result of being fumigated by the steam after opening the steamer. In short, Tang Zhan looked sour at the side, and he stretched out his hand to Xia Xu: "
Chenghui twenty."
"Uncle Tang, are you robbing me? Two buns worth twenty yuan?"
Xia Xu, who was chewing the bun, almost rolled his eyes when he choked.
Tang Youxin hurriedly ran to the store to pour some boiled water and was handed over.
"Specially customized, high-quality steamed buns, at this price, do you have any opinions?"
Tang Zhanjie raised his neck and said.
"Okay, I have no objection, twenty is twenty."
Xia Xu took the water glass and took a big gulp, swallowing the bun that was choking in his throat.
When Tang Zhan saw him admit defeat, a winner's smile suddenly appeared on his face.
It doesn't matter whether it's money or not, what's important is that it makes this brat happy.
"Just keep it, since you don't have a son anyway."
Unfortunately, the next words Xia Xu muttered made his smile freeze on his face.
"Youxin! Hurry, bring me the rolling pin!"
Roaring like an angry lion, Xia Xu made a wise choice and quickly stuffed the last bun into his mouth, turned around and ran away while holding Atuo's hand.
After a short interlude, he got into the black business car driven by He Qing again at the alley.
"Go to this address."
Xia Xu gave him the address Pan Long left yesterday.
It didn't take long for the car to reach the top position.
Pan Long was much more mature in his behavior than Yao Fu, so the house he gave was naturally not his own home, but a rented warehouse near a furniture mall.
The business car parked on the side of the road, and he called Pan Long while sitting in the car. Not long after, he saw a young man wearing a disposable mask walking out of the warehouse, looking around expectantly.
Xia Xu moved forward and raised his hand. He Qing immediately started the car and slowly approached it, finally stopping in front of him.
Seeing the car parked in front of him, Pan Long naturally understood the meaning, but still confirmed: "You are..."
"it's me."
Xia Xu turned to look at him and smiled slightly.
Wearing a hood last night, coupled with poor vision and other factors, Pan Long couldn't see Xia Xu's face, but at this moment he still recognized his voice, and looked away from He Qing with some scornful eyes.
Moved to Xia Xu: "Master, why are you here so early?"
What he wanted to ask was actually why they came here in broad daylight. In his opinion, they might need to hide their identities or something.
In fact, he himself was not too willing to reveal his true identity, but it was difficult to wear the strange clothes last night in broad daylight, so he could only put on a mask in a hurry.
"Xia Xu, just call me by my name."
Xia Xu introduced himself with a smile, opened the door and got out of the car, and also released Atuo from the back seat.
"Well...Hello, Brother Xu, my name is Pan Long."
Seeing that Xia Xu also appeared in front of him with his true face and introduced himself openly, Pan Long's vigilance gradually decreased. After a moment of hesitation, he also said his name and raised his hand.
Take off the mask.
After the introduction, he led Xia Xu towards the warehouse while constantly looking back.
This expert boss seems to be different from the aloof ranger image he imagined last night.
She looks a little too young like this.
And it looks a bit familiar inexplicably, as if I've seen it somewhere before.
"Xu..."
When he came to the rolling shutter door of the warehouse, he took out the key and opened the extra small door on the rolling shutter door. Pan Long stepped in, suppressed his random thoughts and was about to introduce it to Xia Xu, when suddenly an idea flashed.
He remembered why he felt familiar.
"Xia...Xia Xueshen? Expert boss, are you Xia Xueshen?"
Pan Long was suddenly shocked and turned his head in stunned silence.
In the past two days, the interview about Xia Xu continued to gain popularity. Under the banter and booing of everyone, he and Tang Youxin were once crowned as the God of Learning and the Immortal of Learning.
Although Pan Long didn't pay much attention to it, he still accidentally saw some scaly claws.
First of all, the name Xia Xu is not a secret. Any report that lists his college entrance examination results must be accompanied by his name.
As for appearance, the mosaic of the interview video only covers the face. The body shape and posture can still give people a certain cognitive impression, and temperament and the like cannot be covered up.
Originally, Pan Long would not associate this aspect without reason, but Xia Xu's young face was completely inconsistent with the strong and wise image of yesterday, coupled with the name and the inexplicable sense of familiarity, he almost instinctively thought of it in his mind as if the clouds were clearing.
Such a conclusion emerged.
"That's right."
Xia Xu smiled nonchalantly, and at the same time joked a little jokingly: "Now you don't have to worry about me having bad intentions."
"Ahem, haha, I really can't hide it from you, Xia Xueshen."
Pan Long scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Probably due to the anxiety of selling various similar movies, he still has some concerns about meeting people with his true identity.
But someone like Xia Xu, who can be regarded as a public figure to a certain extent, can take off his disguise. It would be too timid for him to dwell on this anymore.
And to put it bluntly, if there was any accident, he who clearly recognized Xia Xu's identity would at least know who to ask the police to call the police.
"Okay, go in and give me a good introduction to your secret base."
Xia Xu didn't hold on, he shook his head gently and smiled softly.
The reason why he pointed this out was not to embarrass Pan Long or anything, but just to break the window paper and eliminate this barrier.
It may seem like a small gesture, but it successfully breaks the ice between strangers.
Coupled with a little guilt factor, Pan Long became obviously warmer next time. After welcoming Xia Xu in, he made tea and introduced people around.
This warehouse is not small in size, but due to the sluggish business of the furniture store next to it, it is difficult to rent out the warehouse, so Pan Long rented it out at a lower price.
However, he certainly didn't rent the warehouse to store things. Part of it was vacated and turned into a training area where targets and other equipment were placed.
Then there is an old workbench stacked with hammers and other tools, a desk with a computer, a pile of piles of cardboard boxes, etc. It is relatively messy and dirty, with no planning, but it already looks like what many men dream of.
