Autumn was gradually showing its power. The air in October was not cool, but full of restlessness.
After a boring morning, looking at the rising sun, Ye Xuan stretched, then stood up from the chair, and then made a phone call to the soup noodle shop next door to send him some soup noodle.
Although with his cultivation, he could go without eating for hundreds or thousands of years. As a human being, he was used to eating, not to mention that his identity was just an ordinary bookstore owner. It was even more impossible to make himself too special.
For the whole morning, except for Liu Jiayan, no one else came into the bookstore. It could be said that it was really deserted.
Regarding this situation, Ye Xuan did not care, or it could be said that he was used to it. After all, the current society was different from the past. Not to mention that one could find any information on the Internet with a mobile phone. Even if one really wanted to buy books, many people were already used to the Internet. They could find books that were several times or even dozens of times more expensive than his bookstore on an e-commerce website.
It was no wonder that the owner of the bookstore, who had been bought by him, showed a strange look on his face when he heard that he wanted to buy the bookstore. It was really that the current bookstore had long been unable to adapt to today's society. Even many state-owned bookstores were operating at a loss.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan did not really open a bookstore to make a living. Otherwise, it would not be a loss even if he sold his pants.
The soup noodle next door was quickly sent over. After eating a little and finishing his lunch, Ye Xuan began to walk around his small bookstore.
The small bookstore was now his world. As he walked, it was as if he was wandering in a sea of books, which made his state of mind subconsciously calm down.
"Oh, the sun is too big. Hurry up, we're here, let's go in."
At this time, a series of footsteps suddenly came from outside. Ye Xuan turned his head subconsciously, and then saw two girls in school uniforms holding a red parasol walking in.
The girl on the left had a rather voluptuous figure. She wore a blue and white school uniform, and her cheeks had some baby fat. She looked rather cute.
As for the girl on the right, although she was wearing the same school uniform, the loose school uniform actually felt a little tighter on her body. Her perky breasts actually directly propped up the loose school uniform with a rather high arc. Coupled with her slender jade legs and curvaceous figure, if it wasn't for the school uniform, people would probably think that she was a mature young married woman.
However, when Ye Xuan saw the young girl's appearance, he was slightly startled.
She had a head of silky black hair that reached her waist, a pair of beautiful big eyes, exquisite facial features, and a fair complexion. She could be said to be a rare beauty.
However, Ye Xuan could be considered to have traveled all over the universe and seen countless beautiful women. Naturally, he would not be stunned just because the young girl in front of him was beautiful. The real reason why he was stunned was because the young girl's appearance was more than 90% similar to a person he knew. That person's name was Lin Xiyan.
Back then, when he had just obtained the system and transmigrated to Huang Fei-hung's world for the first time to learn martial arts, he actually saw someone trying to kidnap a girl midway. In the end, he saved the girl, and that girl was Lin Xiyan, who had lost her memory.
After saving Lin Xiyan, he only thought that it was an accident, but he did not expect that this accident would actually make this amnesiac girl mistake him for one of her brothers. Originally, he did not care about this kind of thing, but who would have thought that a series of events that happened next would almost make him reveal that he had the system and the secret of traveling through the universe.
At that time, Ye Xuan was still very weak, and any flying bullet could kill him. In order to protect his secret, he simply left Huaxia.
In fact, Ye Xuan did not regret his choice at that time. After all, if the secret was really leaked at that time, with his ability, he would not be able to guarantee his own safety at all, and he might even have lost a pile of bones.
As for Lin Xiyan, Ye Xuan felt somewhat guilty. After all, even if Lin Xiyan mistakenly recognized his identity because of amnesia, he was indeed taken care of by her during that time.
"Hey, Xiyan, why does that person keep looking at you?" As soon as Lin Xiyan and her deskmate Wang Shiwen saw the bookstore, they suddenly saw that the bookstore owner had turned his head and kept looking at Lin Xiyan. Wang Shiwen could not help but poke his deskmate next to him.
As for Wang Xiyan, when she just came in, she originally wanted to see how handsome the boss that her deskmate praised was. She did not expect to see an extraordinarily handsome man as soon as she came in, but this man kept looking at her with a strange gaze.
Lin Xiyan could feel that the gaze of the man in front of her was not the kind of admiration that the male students in school usually had when they saw her, nor was it the kind of gaze that some people coveted her beautiful figure. It was more like a gaze that saw a familiar person.
However, Lin Xiyan could be sure that she did not know this young man in front of her at all. Why would he look at her like that?
Ye Xuan, who was still in a daze, finally came back to his senses when he heard the other girl's words. When he thought of what he had just thought, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly. He actually thought of this matter. Was it because he was old?
More than a hundred years old was indeed old!
Slightly mocking himself in his heart, Ye Xuan then smiled at the two girls standing at the door of the bookstore and said, "Welcome, please feel free to take a look!"
After saying this, he withdrew his gaze, turned around, and returned to his cashier.
Lin Xiyan's eyes flickered, and she looked at her deskmate. Just as she was about to ask for her opinion with her eyes, she saw that her deskmate, Wang Shiwen, was like a love-struck fool, staring unblinkingly at the man who looked like the owner of the bookstore. She could not help but cover her forehead with her hand, and a blush rose on her face.
Lin Xiyan pulled her deskmate back to her senses and said, "Shiwen, didn't you want to buy a magazine? What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go look for it. Otherwise, the lunch break will start soon." Lin Xiyan didn't know what to say.
"Okay, okay, I got it!" Wang Shiwen pouted in dissatisfaction at Lin Xiyan disturbing her from looking at the handsome man, but she also knew that what Lin Xiyan said was right. After taking another look at the figure sitting at the cashier's desk, she walked towards the bookshelf with all kinds of books in the bookstore.
And Ye Xuan, who was sitting behind the cashier's desk, saw two graceful figures walking towards the bookshelf, especially one of the rather familiar figures. A strange look flashed in his eyes …

There will be some water in the last few chapters, which can be considered as a transition, to make up for some of the protagonist's previous regrets. (The most important regret is the regret of some of the brothers who like the character of Lin Xiyan. Many people have come to ask if this character will appear in the future.)
