Xia Yizhou

"Hello, sir, I heard that you like this black forest I made?"

Barnes and the chef here are old friends. He appreciates the chef's craftsmanship here. If there are no special circumstances, he will take one day a week to come here for a meal, because the menu here is changed every week. Yes, regular customers can even let the chef make their favorite dishes according to their own taste, even if it is not on the menu.

Barnes also has a small hobby. He likes sweets, especially chocolate, so every time he comes here, he will order a chocolate-flavored dessert. Today he ordered a black forest.

This black forest cake looks nothing special, but when Barnes put the first bite in his mouth, he was mesmerized by the taste.

It was not so greasy, with a bit of bitter taste, and a large piece of cake was eaten easily. Barnes had the idea of ​​meeting the pastry chef, because he tasted that this black forest was not the original dessert It was made by Hank, and the dessert made by Hank has a richer milky taste. Although Barnes can accept it, he doesn't particularly like it.

"Lily, I want to meet the pastry chef who made this black forest cake."

"Yes, Mr. Barnes."

Barnes looked at the busy traffic outside the window and waited for the pastry chef to appear. He imagined many appearances, men and women, tall and short, fat and thin. When Xia Yizhou appeared in front of him, he felt that he was Saw an angel.

Xia Yizhou smiled lightly, and stood facing the sun, his eyes were slightly squinted because of the stimulation of the sun, the corners of his mouth were not exaggerated, but Barnes couldn't leave his eyes anymore.

"Sir, sir."

Xia Yizhou's shouts brought Barnes back to his senses, and he stood up and extended his hand to Xia Yizhou: "Hi, Steve Barnes."

"Jeffrey Xia." Xia Yizhou reached out and took Barnes' hand.

The moment the two hands met, Barnes felt an electric current hit his heart directly from the palm of his hand. Barnes had never felt such a strong beating of his heart when he was not fighting.

Barnes knew that he was stumped, even though he didn't know the details of this person, such a thing as falling in love at first sight actually happened to him.

Clearing his throat, Barnes said calmly, "Jeffrey, can I call you Jeff?"

"can."

"I like this Black Forest very much. I'm a little surprised. Please forgive my rudeness just now. I just didn't expect..."

"I didn't expect that the person who made the cake here would be a person of yellow race?"

Xia Yizhou took over the conversation, Barnes wanted to invite him to sit down and have a chat, but Xia Yizhou refused, he said: "I'm really sorry, I'm still working, and the kitchen has something to do, I'm sorry."

"Oh, no, I'm asking too much. Again, this cake you made is really good."

"Thank you."

Barnes stood there until Xia Yizhou disappeared in front of him before he sat down again, raised his finger and stuck the last bit of chocolate crumbs into his mouth, the rich chocolate melted in his mouth again, Barnes felt his mood changed from Never been better.

When Xia Yizhou returned to the back kitchen, the smile on his face suddenly collapsed, his palms were sweaty, and his legs seemed to be a little weak.

"Hi, Jeff, what did Mr. Barnes think of your cake?"

The chef came over and patted Xia Yizhou's shoulder with a smile, Xia Yizhou's right shoulder slumped, and the chef said in a daze, "That fellow Barnes has a bit of aura, why did he scare you and is not satisfied with your dessert? "

"No, it's just the first time a guest asked me to go out, so I was a little nervous."

"Mr. Barnes is very satisfied with your dessert. This is the first time I saw him eat up all the dessert." The waiter Lily showed the empty plate to Xia Yizhou as encouragement to him.

"That guy Barnes has a picky mouth, and he did a good job Jeff." The chef praised.

"Thank you chef."

"Go to work."

After the chef left, Xia Yizhou took a deep breath and returned to his job to continue working.

It seems that I successfully left a good impression on him at the first meeting, take your time, I have a whole year.

From this day on, Barnesley will come here to have a meal at dinner time. The dinner order is very simple, but the dessert will not be missed once after the meal. Sometimes when there is no time to eat, people will come to pack it A dessert to take home.

One day Barnes was sitting in his office eating cake when his sister Anna came in.

"elder brother."

"Well, sit down."

Barnes leisurely cut a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. Anna glanced at it and stretched out a finger to pick a piece into his mouth. Who would have expected Barnes to pick up the plate before her, and Anna stretched it out His fingers were empty.

"Is it that delicious?"

Barnes ignored her, continued to stuff the cake into his mouth, and said, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that recently, dear brother, you have a new goal?"

"Ah."

"The one who made this cake?"

"The news is very well-informed."

"You send people to buy cakes every day, rain or shine, can I not know? Don't forget, I always go to a restaurant to eat, how about it, how long did it take you to get this new goal?"

Barnes didn't speak, with a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

Anna observed it for a while and said in surprise, "You haven't succeeded yet, have you?"

Barnes glanced at Anna. Just as he was about to speak, Benson's face appeared on the computer screen. Barnes opened the door to let him in. He handed over a stack of documents and went out again.

Barnes took the document and said to Anna: "How could I take action on him before I figure out his details."

"What kind of background can a pastry chef have?"

Barnes flipped through the information in his hand, then handed it to Anna and said, "He has a lot of details!"

After Anna took a look at it, she was also surprised and said: "He has too much experience in life. He has been a star, he has been a soldier, and now he is a pastry chef. Every job is not close at all. .”

Anna glanced at the photo of Xia Yizhou in military uniform, and said thoughtfully, "Military background? Is it okay? And he's from country C."

"It's hard to say. From the data, there is no problem at all. He retired because of his leg injury, but our brainless cousin sold the arms to Shengjiao in my name a few years ago. Shengjiao took this A batch of arms riots at the border of country C was suppressed. Fortunately, country C traced the source of the weapons. Fortunately, I kept a hand, otherwise I would be tricked by that idiot. Although they did not find direct evidence, it does not mean that they will not doubt it. The Federation and Interpol recently The limelight is very tight, there is no guarantee that they will not cooperate with country C, are there not enough undercover agents around us?"

"Will he be an undercover agent?"

"I don't know. Generally, undercover agents would rack their brains to lean on us or the people around us, but this person hasn't moved at all for so many days, and he didn't take the initiative when I met him for the first time. made."

"Then you want to try him?"

"You can be your fashion lady and fashion editor-in-chief, and I don't have to worry about my affairs."

"I also think brother you can find true love earlier, I think brother you seem to be very unusual for this Jeff this time."

"Are you really so free?"

"No way, I still have a bunch of pictures on hand that I haven't seen. Since you chased me away, I'm leaving."

Barnes waved his hand and looked at the information in his hand. Anna finally picked some cream with her fingers and put it into her mouth with a naughty smile.

Special sniper, code-named Ghost, retired a year ago, the little guy's resume is impressive.

Putting the last piece of cake in his mouth, Barnes squinted his eyes in satisfaction, put away the documents, got up and left the office.
