Baguettes and Macarons

=========================

Louis watched him drive coldly, followed the car and walked slowly forward: "Can't you park the car here? Anyway, it's only a few hundred meters."

"What if the nearby residents want to park, won't they just occupy their space?"

"Don't worry, almost no one here has a private car."

Yu Chen finally parked the car downstairs and followed him into the bakery: "You haven't answered yet, do you want to go on a trip together during the spring break?"

"I'm going to open a bakery too."

"Work requires a balance between work and rest."

Louis said angrily: "You just want to go out to play by yourself? Go by yourself, don't drag me, I'm very busy."

Yu Chen spread his hands and said, "I just want to enjoy the vacation, are you really unwilling to accompany me?"

"I don't have the energy."

"I will pay for the travel expenses, so you can just take it as my company?" Yu Chen said, "The main reason is that I need a companion who can drive, and take over driving with me on the road."

Louis walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and said seriously, "Have you considered a question?"

"what?"

"Do you think I'm rich enough to learn to drive? And I don't even own a car."

Yu Chen narrowed his eyes: "No, you must be able to drive. I saw in your kitchen that the eggs you use are from a local organic farm, and there is a sign that they are packed directly on the farm. You must often drive to the surrounding Hilltop Farm to stock up, but maybe the car is rented."

"Are you a detective by profession?!"

Yu Chen followed him into the kitchen: "I'm just very concerned about your affairs. So, do you agree to go on a trip together?"

"I'm convinced, go and go, I will share the gas bill with you." Louis glared at him, "If I don't agree, I will definitely be annoyed to death by you."

"You are so smart. If you don't agree, I will definitely ask you every day until you agree. By the way, what's for dinner?"

"Hamburg steak." Louis took out the leftover beef patties from the refrigerator to defrost, "Let me explain to you first, this is definitely different from the high-end steak you will eat."

Yu Chen said with a smile on his face: "Where are you talking about, what do I eat at home, don't you know?"

Louis recalled the bags of potato chips, fruit juice and McDonald's takeaway packaging thrown away when he first cleaned up his house, and suddenly his head was like a drum: "Sure enough, my diet is much healthier than yours. I'm starting to prepare dinner now , you eat the pound cake first, it's in my private refrigerator."

Yu Chen responded with a good voice: "Borrow the electric kettle and teapot."

"I don't have a teapot, take it back to your own house."

Yu Chen wrinkled his face: "My teapot is specially used for making black tea. If I make spiced tea, it will leave a strong smell of spices, which will affect the taste of black tea in the future."

"Why are you so particular about it!"

Yu Chen stood on tiptoe and looked over his shoulder to look at the cupboard: "Why don't you lend me the coffee pot? Anyway, the instant coffee you usually drink doesn't care much about the taste."

"You're so annoying." Louis hooked his long arm, took down the coffee pot and gave it to him: "Is it okay now? Go to the store and drink your tea, don't come to the kitchen to make trouble."

Yu Chen was stuffed with electric kettle and coffee pot: "You speak like a housewife."

"Children mostly eat snacks every afternoon." Louis retorted, "Tonight's side dish is pickled carrots in vinegar."

Since using Yu Chen to remake Grandma Mary with cheap clothes, through the spread of this client and her enthusiastic neighbors, I come to Louie's bakery every day to watch "dog-tempered Louis next to the polite young and promising designer The inhabitants of "Boyfriend" grow exponentially every day.

Whether it is "that Louis can find a boyfriend", or "that Louis is gay", or "the rare black-haired Asian in this street", it is enough to attract the idle residents of this block to watch.Dominique and Grandma Mary don't join hands to run an entertainment weekly, and they don't study journalism.

Moreover, Yu Chen is indeed rather strange in the eyes of the people in this street. High-income Asians seldom come to this block. Whether it is his black hair or his expensive clothes, they have never seen it very much.

Yu Chen was not affected at all, he still ate in the back kitchen in the morning and noon, sat in the bakery for afternoon tea without an appointment at four in the afternoon, and had afternoon tea in his own shop if he had an appointment.If someone strikes up a conversation with him, he will answer a few words, and if no one strikes up a conversation, he just sits there and reads Le Monde, pretending that he has not seen anyone peeking outside the window.

Soon the prettiest girl on the street—within the street alone—Chloe heard the news and came here.

"Who is Yu-Yu-"

Yu Chen, who was called by people with weird pronunciation for several days in a row, looked up at the store door reflexively: "Yu Chen, it's me. What do you want?"

A tall girl stood at the door. She had light blonde hair braided all over her head. She was wearing an off-the-shoulder T-shirt with skull graffiti and low-slung jeans, revealing a curvy waist.

She walked up to Yu Chen quickly, and asked, "Did you style Mary? How much does it cost?"

"Do you want to design a new image?" Yu Chen raised his head and asked.

"I'll ask you how much it is first."

Yu Chen spread his fingers: "Ten sets of images are [-] Euros, but my commission is calculated based on [-]% of the final product purchased, and it will vary depending on the specific shape."

"Oh, fifty euros, a piece of Zara." The girl pulled away the chair opposite him and sat down. "Then can you design an image for me? I think my current dress is too ordinary."

Louie glanced at her biker boots and heavy make-up, and couldn't see anything ordinary about her.He wiped the water on the cooking table with a rag, walked over and asked, "What do you eat? You can't sit down without ordering dessert."

"Huh? There are so many empty seats in your store, why can't you sit?" Chloe asked, chewing gum.

Louis folded his hands on his chest: "I'm not your group of punk suitors, because you're pretty and don't want your money. Get up without ordering bread."

Chloe cursed loudly, and pointed casually: "Then, have a baguette, okay?"

"Euro thirty cents if you sit down and eat."

"It's really troublesome, that's all." Chloe put her hands on the table and approached Yu Chen: "It's really troublesome to talk to you, Yu—"

"Asdale, you can call me Asdale." Yu Chen said hastily.

"Chloe Brown." Chloe grabbed the name tag on his chest, "I work in an auto repair shop, do you have a car? If you have a car, you can come to my house for repair."

"Thank you, but there is a special 4S store responsible for my car." Yu Chen put down the newspaper, "You also live on this street?"

"My family lives here, but I usually live in an apartment in the city center, and I only go home to visit my parents during the holidays. This street is so boring, and I have never heard of young handsome designers before. Hey, why are you here?" Is there a shop here?"

Louis threw the baguette in front of her: "He moved here for me."

"No, is it real or not?" Chloe exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Uncle Dominic said that you are Louis' boyfriend, and it turned out to be true?"

Yu Chen hurriedly said, "Although I did move here for Mr. Legrand, that's not the case."

"Then you guys are really gay?"

Yu Chen changed the subject: "Didn't you say you want to change your image, what is the direction..."

Chloe grabbed his arm: "Listen to me. Although Louis can still see his face, his temper is too bad. Why did you find him?"

"Hey, Chloe, if you don't want to stay in the store, get out!"

"Actually, it's better to be a girl, right?" Chloe patted her chest, "Do you want to try sleeping with me?"

Yu Chen said awkwardly: "Please don't make such a joke."

"So shy, it's different from what Mary said." Chloe pulled the chair closer to him, "Mary said, you are talking about se in front of her..."

"Chloe, shut up." Louis put down the mug heavily in front of her, and the tap water splashed on her face.

"Damn it! My eyeshadow isn't waterproof!"

"Deserved!"

Yu Chen raised his hand: "Can you two calm down? Even my suit was splashed wet."

Louis handed him a napkin: "Excuse me."

"Yo, Louis would even apologize." Chloe whistled, "Love."

Yu Chen persevered in returning to the previous topic: "Miss Chloe? What kind of image transformation do you want to do?"

"Ah, just like a movie star?" Chloe said, "Why don't I just braid some colored dreadlocks? Wouldn't it be special?"

Yu Chen said awkwardly: "This is my blind spot of knowledge, because I lack knowledge of this popular culture, so I may not be able to help you very well."

"That's right, looking at your suit and tie, you look serious and serious, like an office worker." Chloe raised her nails painted with jumping color nail polish, "But all my friends wear it like this, and I gradually get tired of it. Now, I also want to find a professional to change a unique look. Do you have any cool ideas, and you can do it without dreadlocks."

"If you don't need dreadlocks, I have an idea." Yu Chen said, "Miss Chloe, do you change your work clothes when you're working? What I want to design for you is just everyday clothes, right?"

"The clothes I'm wearing now are not work clothes."

"That's good, otherwise my design may bring danger to your work and violate my industry rules. Just a digression, how did you get here?"

"Riding a motorcycle." Chloe said casually, "What's wrong?"

Yu Chen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Great, I really want to try it, but I've never received a commission related to it. In this way, it can also guarantee the effect you want as a movie actress."

Chloe became interested: "What movie?"

""resident Evil"."

Louis laughed loudly: "Chloe can play a zombie! It just so happens that there is a black-haired woman named Rachel in general horror movies, and you can act together."
