Released

Lu Xiangyang rarely worked overnight.

Except during the peak season when it is too busy to find the north, the store is quite quiet at other times.

Working overtime all night this time was purely accidental. ——From early in the morning to cooking, eating, quarreling and fighting, I have been doing nothing.But after a lot of tossing, he knew more about Zhou Xi with satisfaction.

curiosity kills the cat.

Lu Xiangyang recalled that apart from Zhou Xi, he really didn't have any friends of the same sex.

Except for those who stayed in my hometown, my former classmates and friends basically went to various places to develop.When he came to Miancheng from his hometown, he was busy in the store every day, focusing on making money to support his family, and he didn't go anywhere.

The old people nearby always praised him for his popularity with women, saying that all the girls who came to his store to buy things were young girls.

In fact, there are also men, but they are all bought for children and wives.

Brother Shun is also one of them.I heard that he is about to get married and has a girlfriend whom he has been talking about for many years.

People are sometimes very deliberate.

Since Lu Xiangyang realized that his sexual orientation was different from others, he always subconsciously avoided some occasions and activities.When he was in high school, he went to the bookstore and read a book on psychological medicine.The book was very old, and on the last page of the table of contents, he clearly saw the word "homosexuality", which was included in the column of mental illness.

In his school uniform, he hurriedly stuffed the book back on the top shelf, and ran home.

When he was in high school, he was quite tall, and he sat in the last row of the class, near the back door of the classroom.Sometimes when he came back from class, there would be a new colored envelope with cute stickers in his class pocket, and it was written by a girl from which class.

Lu Xiangyang read the letter as if it were a reader, and then put it back and put it in the English textbook.

——This is the only book left that he doesn't turn over very often.

The deskmate expressed regret for his indifference, and said, "There are so many girls, but you don't like any of them? How about sharing one with me."

Someone from the next group shouted: "Lu Xiangyang, don't fucking pretend, you don't like men, do you?"

When he heard this, he stood up, pinned the man to the ground and beat him up.Then I was called to the Academic Affairs Office to invite the parents, and read the self-criticism at the flag-raising ceremony of the whole school.

The parent invited was Lu Xiangyang's sister.His parents were so drunk that they didn't care about his son at all.

My sister's name is very nice, and she is also very good-looking. Her name is Lu Xiangwan.

After returning home, he told the whole thing in detail.Holding a stack of thick love letters, Lu Xiangyang asked her, what should I do? Is it a disease? Do I need to get medical treatment?

He still remembers what his sister said that day.Xiang Wan told him, don't be afraid, everyone has different preferences.Just be yourself.

She also said that when the sky fell, there was still her sister holding it up.

That being said, he still deliberately hid for so long.

And recently, his thoughts have been revealed again.There are not many men that he can admire, and Zhou Xi is the first one he has sincerely admired in recent years.

How can there be such a correct person from the inside out.It's comfortable even from a distance.

Lu Xiangyang yawned.Genius was bright, he grabbed his phone and sent Xiang Wan a message: "Sister, I miss you."

Then he backed out and pressed the lock screen decisively.

The cupcakes are all baked and the buttercream decoration is just the last batch.Xiaohua was driven back to sleep by him——the little girl should stay up late.

And Zhou Xi, the main culprit who delayed the schedule today, still stayed here with him, saying he was apologetic.

Qingqing is also working overtime next door, but her work is over early, and now she is happily trying Zhou Xi's cool car outside.

Cool is the two rear doors - the falcon wing door design.When it is turned up, it looks like an eagle spreading its wings, and it is very windy.

"Mr. Zhou, when will you take us for a drive?" Qingqing looked very happy, "Experience a linear acceleration."

Sister Qingqing has a boyish personality, cool and straightforward, loves mountaineering and off-roading, and is also very knowledgeable about cars. She can't tell that she is a lady proprietress who can take good care of a flower shop.

"What is linear acceleration?" Lu Xiangyang paid little attention to the car.

"Linear acceleration is the continuous power propulsion from the start to the acceleration process." Zhou Xi answered the question, "Electric cars are basically linear acceleration. When Boss Lu finishes his order, we can go to the beach together. .”

"That's right." Qingqing was very happy when she heard the game, "Bring Xiaohuahua, let's go for a picnic together."

"It's a good idea." Lu Xiangyang sighed, "A typhoon is coming, have you forgotten why the kindergarten's art performance was brought forward?"

Flower has pre-folded all the cupcake boxes.Speaking of which, Xiaohua is a gifted genius, she has been here for two months, and she is not good at anything else, but she is still very strong as a striker.She can easily handle all the packaging boxes currently on the market, and the speed of folding boxes is top-notch, which is simply extraordinary talent.

Lu Xiangyang began to calculate to himself: "One package can hold eight small cakes, divide 2000 by 8 to get..."

As a budget-conscious boss, this kind of simple mental calculation is naturally no problem.But Zhou Xi's speed was even faster than him, and he blurted out before Boss Lu finished speaking.

"Two hundred and five." Zhou Xi didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Damn?!" Lu Xiangyang was a little annoyed, "Are you taking advantage of me?"

Men's rivalry comes as soon as it is said.Lu Xiangyang began to ask Zhou Xi difficult problems.

"12 by 12!"

"140 four."

"...29 by 19!"

"550 one."

"Damn?" Lu Xiangyang was a little surprised. While syncing with the calculator, he asked another one unwillingly, "88 times 22!"

Zhou Xi hummed slightly: "One thousand nine thirty six."

The answers are fluent.

If Lu Xiangyang wore glasses, they would have fallen off by now: "How did you do this?"

"Occupational disease, sensitive to numbers." Zhou Xi yawned, "No, I feel sleepy when I mention work."

"What occupation?" Lu Xiangyang carefully filled the finished cakes into the box one by one.

Zhou Xi stood up and stretched, took off his watch: "Ex, auditor."

"Money auditor?"

"Correct."

"Why does money need an auditor?"

"...Ex. Ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend's ex."

"Oh..." Lu Xiangyang drew a long ending, thinking for a while why the ex-boyfriend was the one who said it first, but the thought quickly passed, "You quit?"

"Well, resign and go back to China." Zhou Xi rolled up his sleeves and came to help paste the food safety seal on the box. This is the last step. The assembly line operation can shorten the working hours by double. "I lost my job. Why don't Boss Lu take me in?"

Lu Xiangyang made a gesture of cutting his neck to him: "If you can't afford it, you should kill me."

The estimated time for kindergarten is a little earlier than expected.Teacher Miao Miao called early in the morning and said that the school should confirm the arrangement of the venue in advance before the children and parents enter the kindergarten.

Qingqing had already passed by, Zhou Xi started the car, and put the cake box into the car with Lu Xiangyang.

"Your car has quite a lot of space."

Zhou Xi flattened the last row of seats, probably packed a hundred boxes, and left a small half that couldn't be taken away.The animal cream top of the cupcakes was too fragile, Lu Xiangyang didn't dare to be greedy, so he could only deliver them separately.

The Sunflower Studios use only the best animal creams—very difficult to work with.It is easy to collapse and easy to melt. A novice mounter will toss back and forth twice more, and the car will overturn in seconds.

This kind of material with low stability is not very friendly to transportation and shelf life. It melts when the temperature is high, and the requirements are much more demanding than non-dairy cream.

Therefore, many stores will give priority to non-dairy cream.Cheap, durable, good stability, the shape is strong and beautiful, and there are no other shortcomings except that it is not delicious.

But Boss Lu's pursuit of taste is very high - he never buys non-dairy cream in his shop.

Lu Xiangyang was plausible about this: "Unpalatable things are not worthy of appearing in my shop."

"Let's go in two parts." Zhou Xi closed the trunk, "Send it there while it's cool in the early morning. Are you coming up?"

"Xiao Hua is still on the way, I'll look at the shop for a while." Lu Xiangyang seemed to remember something, "You don't know Teacher Miao Miao, do you? I'll let her come out and pick you up."

"Okay." Zhou Xi closed the car door, "I'll be back later."

Qingqing's flower task was received too quickly, and she was too busy with the setting task. Today, all the staff of the Sunflower Studio will not open the store, and they are all going to the art show to help.

Teacher Miaomiao helped them apply for admission tickets in advance, and when Lu Xiangyang called, he even asked for an extra ticket for Zhou Xi.

With the car, the delivery was quite smooth, and it was done in two trips.Zhou Xi also sent him and Xiao Hua over by the way.When Xiaohua saw the eagle-wing door in the back seat, she sighed in the same style as Sister Qingqing.

"Ah—" Xiaohua stared straight at her eyes, "It's so cool."

"Teacher Miao Miao said to save a parking space for us, just drive in." Lu Xiangyang sat on the co-pilot and turned his head to look at Zhou Xi, "I also took the tickets for you. Let's go?"

"No." Zhou Xi answered simply, holding the steering wheel, "I'm going back to pick up Teacher Xu."

"Aunt Xu is coming too?" Lu Xiangyang suddenly remembered that she was the retired deputy principal, "Then you came together after picking up Aunt Xu?"

Zhou Xi slowed down the speed of the car and said, "After I pick up Teacher Xu, I'll go back by myself."

He especially emphasized himself.

Lu Xiangyang thought for a while and said, "Okay."

From all the conversations, he heard only one message: Zhou Xi didn't want to watch the art performance.

The cake arrived without a hitch.He took Xiao Hua out of the car and waved to Zhou Xi.

"Mr. Zhou doesn't seem to like lively places." Xiaohua said.

The entire kindergarten was full of enthusiasm. Parents brought their children to participate in the performance. The children played and played and wore cute performance costumes. In Xiaohua's vocabulary, the kindergarten grew up eating cute.

Teacher Miaomiao was successfully cut off by her little fan group many times on the way to them. From the beginning to the end, there were cheering children hanging around. She finally came here.

"We're going to distribute flowers to the children in a unified way. We need to count the number of people. There are [-] children in a class~"

"No problem." Qingqing said with a smile, "I have tied up the little bouquets, and the points will be counted quickly."

Among the small bouquets was a small number of boutonnieres.It is also made of fresh flowers, and the combination of Qingqing is very beautiful, it looks delicate and warm.

"These are?" Lu Xiangyang took out this batch separately, "Who are these for?"

"This is for retired teachers." Qingqing buried her head in tidying up, "I heard that there are also every year."

"Ah, Aunt Xu." Lu Xiangyang remembered what Zhou Xi said on the road just now, "Aunt Xu is also here. I haven't seen her for many days."

Aunt Xu looked very happy today - she not only came to see the children, but also saw Lu Xiangyang and Qingqing.

"Aunt Xu." Lu Xiangyang sat down with her, "...Uh, Zhou Xi, has he gone back?"

"Yes, yes." The old man tidied up his clothes and patted his legs, "He told me on the way that he gave me some things to help you."

"I didn't even know Zhou Xi was your relative, Aunt Xu." Lu Xiangyang scratched his head embarrassedly, "It's his first time to buy egg yolk cakes, and I charged an expedited fee."

"You should keep it." Aunt Xu shook her head, "What kind of relative, this child has no blood relationship with me at all."

Lu Xiangyang was momentarily at a loss for words: "Huh?"

Zhou Xi lied to him again?

Aunt Xu sighed: "There is no one who calls a relative a teacher—you say so. Although he is right to call him that, Zhou Xi also graduated from this kindergarten, and I was a teacher at that time."

Lu Xiangyang was startled: "What's going on?"

He vaguely felt that the reason why Zhou Xi didn't want to come to the kindergarten to watch the performance was definitely not as simple as Xiaohua said that he didn't like the excitement.

Aunt Xu said slowly: "Zhou Xi was adopted by me. His parents abandoned him in this kindergarten more than 20 years ago today, during the art performance."
