Chapter 198 A Special Visitor (End)
Gao Chao stared at the side dishes on the table, a little dazed.

He has never seen such exquisite knife work, which is really amazing.

On the other side, after listening to Xiao Hei, the gatekeeper, yelling several times in a row, Bai Xiaobai immediately put on his clothes and quickly came out of the bathroom.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, he saw a young man in camouflage uniform standing upright in the hall.

This young man was carrying a camouflage bag, and his age was estimated to be in his early twenties. He had short, strong hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a light tanned skin. He looked very healthy.

In short, the young man in front of him gave people a sense of cleanliness and comfort, but the coldness revealed between his eyebrows and eyes was a bit unpredictable.

The young man was staring at the new special cold cucumber on the table in a daze.

It's a quarter past nine.

I didn't expect customers to come so late.

While wiping his wet short hair with a towel, Bai Xiaobai walked up to him and said, "Hi, welcome. Let's see what we want to eat?"

Hearing the sound, Gao Chao glanced sideways at Bai Xiaobai who was wiping his hair, and said calmly, "You are the owner of this store? Bai... Xiaobai?"

"I'm Bai Xiaobai, who are you?" The other party knew his name, which made Bai Xiaobai a little surprised, he didn't know the person in front of him at all.

After Gao Chao confirmed the identity of the person in front of him, he remained expressionless and said without warmth, "Show me your ID card."

"...What?" After hearing this, Bai Xiaobai was a little dazed on the spot, and stopped wiping his head immediately.

This dude is good looking because he likes to pretend to be aggressive. Not only is his attitude cold, he can't even speak human words.

As soon as you enter the door and open your mouth, you have to look at your ID card... Did you make a mistake...

Didn't this buddy forget to take his medicine when he went out or his head was caught by the door panel?

This was Bai Xiaobai's first thought, it was a bit nonsensical and funny.

His second thought was relatively rational.

He guessed that the person in front of him was Gao Chao whom his uncle mentioned on the phone just now. After all, veterans wearing camouflage uniforms fit the bill.

Bai Xiaobai was thinking vaguely in his heart, at the same time.

Several years of militarized management isolated Gao Chao from the outside world for a long time, and he didn't know what to say. Seeing Bai Xiaobai's shocked expression, he realized that it was a bit abrupt for him to ask for an ID card suddenly, so he explained lightly:
"Your uncle Bai Yuanshan asked me to give you the Maitreya Buddha jadeite pendant, because it is expensive, and I must be sure that you are Bai Xiaobai."

It really was him!Didn't my uncle say that Gao Chao will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? Why did he come suddenly?

Although Gao Chao speaks coldly, he is quite cautious in his actions.

After all, he hadn't met before, so it made sense for him to be cautious, and the emerald Maitreya Buddha was indeed not cheap, and it would be a big trouble if it was given to the wrong person.

Instead of going up to the second floor to prove himself with his ID card, Bai Xiaobai took out his mobile phone and said frankly, "Are you superb? My uncle should have given you my number, how about this? me."

When Gao Chao heard this, he didn't say anything, immediately picked up the phone, dialed the number, and Bai Xiaobai's phone rang.

Seeing his number displayed on Bai Xiaobai's phone, Gao Chao didn't say anything else, he took out a small square box from his pocket, "This is your uncle asking me to bring you the Maitreya Buddha jade pendant."

Although Gao Chao put on a face of ice cubes from the moment he entered the door, but after all, his uncle entrusted him to bring the things from Yunnan Province thousands of miles away, so it was really not easy.

After Bai Xiaobai took the box, he sincerely thanked him, "Thank you! My brother-in-law said you didn't come until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, why did you arrive early suddenly?"

Gao Chao cherishes words like gold, and said five words lightly, "It's just ahead of schedule."

Gao Chao arrived suddenly ahead of schedule, and caught Bai Xiaobai off guard.

The vacant room on the second floor has not been fully vacated yet.

Taking off the camouflage backpack on his back, Gao Chao asked, "Well, Bai Xiaobai, what shall I call you from now on?"

Bai Xiaobai replied, "You can just call me by my name, or just call me Xiaobai for short."

Boss Bai is always called by customers in the store. After all, Gao Chao is the son of his uncle's old comrade-in-arms. It would always feel awkward to call him Boss Bai.

"Okay, then I'll call you Bai Xiaobai." Gao Chao carried the camouflage bag and continued, "Bai Xiaobai, I heard from your uncle that you have a spare room on the second floor, and I plan to rent it for a while. Of course I don't live in vain, and I will pay the rent as much as I want."

Bai Xiaobai said bluntly, "You can live here first, and I don't want rent or anything. You are my uncle's friend and you are my friend."

Bai Xiaobai said these two words with sincerity. Gao Ming is looking for a job, and he probably won't stay for a few days. Naturally, he won't be cheeky to ask for rent.

Besides, my uncle repeatedly told Gao Chao on the phone that before he found a job, he would let him stay for free. Since he agreed to my uncle on the phone, he must keep his promise.

"Bai Xiaobai, please take me upstairs to have a look at the room first." Gao Chao also took the train for a long time, so he is really tired now.

After Bai Xiaobai hung up the towel for wiping his hair, he took Gao Chao up to the second floor.

Next to Bai Xiaobai's bedroom, there is another relatively small room.

This small room was what Bai Xiaobai lived in when he was in school, and the big bedroom he lives in now is the room where his parents lived in before their death.

Because Bai Xiaobai cleaned the small room every now and then, there was no dust, but there were some debris piled up, so it looked a bit messy.

Bai Xiaobai opened the small room.

Gao Chao followed behind and glanced inside.

It is messy but not dirty, and there is no peculiar smell. Although the layout is small, it has all internal organs and looks very comfortable.

There is a small wooden wardrobe on the left side of the door, a single bed on the right side of the door, a small bedside cabinet on the side of the bed, a small desk on the left side of the cabinet by the window, and a lamp on the table. A blue lamp, and a chair with a backrest.

In the entire small room, the most eye-catching thing is a large bookshelf next to the desk.

The bookshelf occupies almost the entire wall. The left half of the bookshelf is filled with books from elementary school to high school, which are almost perfectly preserved. Books, all kinds of classics, down to all kinds of miscellaneous books, encyclopedia knowledge, etc., in short, everything is available.

"I'll get you some bedding." After Bai Xiaobai finished speaking, he returned to his bedroom, and took a spare clean bamboo mat, a pillow and a clean air-conditioning blanket.

These items were all used by Bai Yuanshan, he used to live in this small room occasionally, so he prepared all the things himself.

Of course, these items have been cleaned, dried and disinfected.

"Gao Chao, then you can take care of it yourself. The remote control of the air conditioner is on the desk, you can turn it on, and the bathroom and toilet are on the first floor, so you can take a shower now." Bai Xiaobai enthusiastically showed his kindness as a landlord.

There is a separate bathroom on the second floor, but they are all in Bai Xiaobai's big room, and this small room cannot be accessed.

"By the way, Gao Chao, have you eaten yet?" Bai Xiaobai asked a question that Chinese people often ask.

"I ate it on the bullet train, thank you!" Even Gao Chao thanked him with a hint of coldness, maybe his tone and voice were just like that.

Naturally, Bai Xiaobai wouldn't worry about whether the person in front of him was cold on the outside or hot on the inside, or what his personality was.

Anyway, as long as I finish what my uncle told me, I can do my best as a landlord these days.

Since Gao Chao had eaten, Bai Xiaobai didn't ask anything special.

"Gao Chao, anyway, if you need anything, tell me anytime, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."

After explaining these words enthusiastically, Bai Xiaobai didn't bother him too much, he voluntarily exited the small room and closed the door.

After hurriedly going downstairs, Bai Xiaobai picked up a dining chair and sat down, picked up the original bamboo chopsticks, and couldn't wait to taste the new special cold cucumber.
