Chapter 152 Green wine

   Zhou Bai held six gifts, took them back to his study, and put them together with the box of candies.

  The candy bars in the bag were hung on the Christmas tree by Zhou Bai.

   Then, it was time for dinner.

  Booz looked a little flustered today.

  He put a plate of steak in front of Zhou Bai, and then walked into the kitchen again.

  Zhou Bai didn't delve into this issue too much.

  Looking at the plate of steak in front of him, he picked up the knife and fork, and cut it with one stroke.

  Suddenly, I saw blood flowing down the knife and fork.

  This steak is not even ripe, right?

   Zhou Bai didn't like to eat raw food, and when he saw the blood-red meat, he couldn't eat a single bite.

  So, he picked up the plate of steak on the table and walked towards the kitchen.

  In the kitchen, the lights are on.

   From time to time, voices came from inside.

  Zhou Bai knew that Boots was in the kitchen, so he didn't find it strange.

   However, when he got closer to the kitchen, he finally realized something was wrong.

  Because in the kitchen, besides Boots, there was another woman's voice.

   Zhou Bai stopped immediately.

  At this time, it seems impolite to go in and disturb others.

   Zhou Bai hesitated and did not move forward.

  However, the two people in the kitchen were still startled by Zhou Bai's footsteps just now.

   There was a "bang".

   is the sound of glass falling to the ground.

   Zhou Bai felt that it was not quite right for him to turn around and walk away at this time.

  So, he deliberately slowed down.

  Estimated that the "little animal" that shouldn't be seen should have escaped before entering the kitchen.

  In the kitchen, Boots stared at Zhou Bai with his blue eyes wide open.

  The curtain behind him was blown up and down by the wind outside the window.

   Zhou Bai put the plate of steak in his hand in front of Boots.

   Then he frowned and looked towards the floor.

   On the floor, lay a broken wine glass.

   And near those glass residues, there is a pool of green liquid.

  Booz saw Zhou Bai's expression, and looked at the ground uncomfortably.

   "This steak is too raw, please re-fry it for me."

   Zhou Bai looked up at Boots.

   "Also, don't prepare wine for me."

  After Zhou Bai finished speaking, he walked out of the kitchen.

   It wasn't until he sat back at the dining table that he breathed a sigh of relief.

   Breaking through other people's secrets is not an interesting thing.

  In case the person involved becomes angry, it may be a bit unsettling.

   Zhou Bai sat on the chair, pretending nothing happened, quietly waiting for his dinner.

  Bootz is probably cleaning up the broken wine glasses on the floor. In the kitchen, the sound of glass colliding can be heard from time to time.

  In Zhou Bai's mind, the pool of green liquid near the glass residue emerged.

  He guessed that it should be a glass of green wine, and it was obviously not for Zhou Bai.

   Most likely, it was for the long-haired woman.

  Green wine is really familiar.

  This may also be the reason why the long-haired woman didn't have any aggressive behavior even though she had mutated to that extent.

  Zhou Bai sat at the top of the rectangular table, looked at the clock on the wall in front of him, and swung the pendulum left and right.

   It felt like a long time before Boots put the fried steak in front of Zhou Bai again.

  This time, the steak was fried to full-cooked.

  Not even a single drop of blood was seen.

  Booz lowered his head, like a person who has done something wrong, he didn't dare to meet Zhou Bai's eyes.

   Zhou Bai didn't mention what happened just now.

   After eating breakfast in silence, he walked back to the second floor.

  He stood at the door of the room and knocked on the door three times.

  In the house, footsteps were heard immediately.

  Zhou Bai stood outside the door, waited for a while, and then knocked on the door again.

   "Knock, knock, knock."

   Another three knocks.

  Inside the house, there was no more sound.

   Zhou Bai finally opened the door.

  In the room, the window was open, and the candle was blown and kept shaking.

   Zhou Bai smelled the air, and it seemed that there was a burning smell.

  He frowned and walked towards the window.

  In the snow, a row of footprints appeared in front of Zhou Bai.

   Zhou Bai looked up at the snow that was falling more and more heavily. After a while, the row of footprints was covered by the new snow.

   Zhou Bai wrapped his clothes tightly and closed the window.

  I always feel that Christmas Eve tomorrow will be very long.

   And, probably not going to sleep yet.

  Thinking of this, Zhou Bai changed into his pajamas early and lay down to sleep.

the next morning.

  The alarm clock at 8 o'clock wakes Zhou Bai up on time.

  Finally, December 24th came.

   Zhou Bai lifted the quilt, stood up from the bed, and looked out the window.

  The snow outside the house has stopped, but the sky is gloomy, and the sun cannot be seen at all.

  That bad premonition resurfaced in Zhou Bai's mind again.

  He changed into a thick suit and opened the door.

  Bootz still stood outside the door.

  Seeing Zhou Bai coming out, he immediately greeted him.

  Booz picked out a particularly grand suit for himself today, and wore a very textured coat outside.

   It can be seen that he really attaches great importance to tonight's party.

  However, in comparison, Zhou Bai, who was mainly dressed to keep warm, seemed a bit too casual.

"Good morning, Sir."

  Zhou Bai looked at Boots' clothes with a smile, and then said "Good morning" to him.

  Booz happily trotted down to prepare breakfast, while Zhou Bai went to the toilet to wash up.

   When we got to the dining room, Boots hadn't prepared breakfast yet.

  So, Zhou Bai took a whetstone and began to sharpen the ax he picked.

   When Buzz came in with breakfast, he saw Zhou Bai sharpening his axe, and was a little stunned.

   "Sir, are you going to fight again?"

   Zhou Bai didn't know how to explain it to him, so he pointed to the pile of weapons on the ground and said to him.

   “Always defend yourself.

  By the way, that bald head is also coming tonight.

  You can pick one too, I will grind it together. "

  As soon as Buzz heard about Bald Jim, he immediately understood Zhou Bai's behavior very well.

  Looked at the pile of weapons, and finally pointed to a long knife on the ground.

   "This one, right?

  Okay, I'll grind it for you. "

   Then, Buzz saw Zhou Bai, picked up the long knife he was pointing at, and sharpened it quickly.

  After breakfast, Boots drove Zhou Bai to the quiet town for the last time.

   Zhou Bai had to make a Christmas cake by himself before the party started.

  So, Booth drove Zhou Bai and parked the car in front of the bakery.

   Zhou Bai got out of the car and opened the door of the bakery.

  Austin's bakery doesn't seem to be planning to open today.

  It was not filled with bread as usual.

  Zhou Bai looked at those empty shelves, and always felt that there would be no business in the future.

  At this time, Austin was standing in front of the counter, wearing gloves, and holding a whetstone, sharpening a short knife in his hand.
