Baguettes and Macarons

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

The fact that Louis has a boyfriend is not new to the residents of Shepherd Street. What is new is that Louis has become a little cleaner.

Just a little, but at least that old jacket no longer has sticky clumps of flour, giving a little reassurance about the sanitation of his bakery.And Louis Legrand, with his beard shaved and his bangs lifted to reveal his eyes, looked less like a psychopath.

Correspondingly, this made his business a little bit better. Although it has not recovered the situation of [-] euros a month when he first took over the bakery, it is at least much better than the monthly deficit situation of the previous year. up.

Of course, this is far less than the booming business of the store next door. It has been a month since Chloe and Grandma Mary’s makeover, but the two of them still look radiant and have new clothes to wear every day, which makes Shepherd Street The residents found that this so-called 'image design' does not seem to be unaffordable consumption.

Who doesn't want to look better?Decent people enjoy more benefits in the workplace and socially.Even if it is useless for work, everyone has vanity.

Yu Chen's appointments were really full this time, and he couldn't handle it himself, so he had to transfer two apprentices from the studio to help during the day.The afternoon tea that Louis delivered on time every afternoon completely entered the stomachs of the guests.

Obviously just became a romantic relationship, but this person was so busy that he would even forget dinner. When Louis drove away the customers waiting in line for consultation for the third time, and carried the designer from the crowd back to his dining table, he couldn't help swearing.

Yu Chen was still immersed in the design draft, and he didn't even hear what he scolded, so he asked casually, "What's wrong?"

"Why did you come back from a vacation, and suddenly so many people came to the door?"

Yu Chen drew a few strokes with a pencil with his left hand, forked a piece of lettuce with his right hand and put it into his mouth, swallowed it before replying: "Oh, hunger marketing."

"what?"

"Seeing that Miss Chloe has changed so much, but the cost is so cheap, everyone will be curious. But if I am not open at this time, they can't ask the details, and they will be more curious about my store, and they can't let it go. "

Louis put down his knife and fork suddenly: "You asked me to go on a trip to advertise your store?"

"What are you thinking about?" Yu Chen raised his eyes, "Please pass me a piece of ham, please."

Louis forked a piece of ham and handed it to his mouth. Yu Chen was not polite. He opened his mouth and took it away from his fork. He still swallowed it before saying, "I asked you out to confess my love to you, but the result is not yet ideal." The sacred place of confession, you said those words in the hotel, which caught me off guard."

Louis snorted: "Don't make it, you don't have to worry about getting it dirty if you draw pictures while eating."

"You're right. If the drawing is dirty, it will have to be redrawn."

"I mean don't stain my baguette with your lead powder."

"This is graphite."

"Anything, eat well."

Yu Chen obediently put the notebook on the edge of the dining table, quietly ate half a bowl of salad, and suddenly asked: "By the way, how is the business of the bakery?"

"Six of them ate the little butter biscuits in your store this afternoon, and they thought they were delicious, so they came to my store to buy them." Louis replied without blinking, "They also bought some other miscellaneous biscuits and snacks. , not expensive, add up to more than 70 euros."

Yu Chen pondered: "No one in this street is willing to come to my shop for consultation. They are not so poor that they don't have any money to buy dim sum, but the consumption level is just like this. Then you should still make afternoon tea that is about the same price as Little Butter tomorrow." Well, if everyone finds it delicious, they can spend money to buy some."

"But you don't like dry snacks, do you?"

"Yeah, I prefer to eat cakes and the like..." Yu Chen blinked, "Anyway, I've been too busy to have afternoon tea recently, why don't you prepare me some snacks and eat them after dinner?"

Louis twitched his mouth: "Okay, shall we have pistachio macarons for dessert tomorrow night?"

Yu Chen happily agreed, quickly finished his salad, tasted two fish steaks, and stood up with his notebook: "I'll go upstairs first to finish drawing the design, and I will decide the final plan with this lady tomorrow." gone."

Louis didn't even finish his salad, so he didn't move: "You can stay tonight."

Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment: "I'm a bit busy today..."

"So we've been living apart?"

Yu Chen was silent for a moment: "You're right, then I'll come over after I've finished drawing the sketch, um...after taking a shower."

Louis then sat back in his seat and ate the steak in silence.

I wish I had chased him sooner, the designer wasn't that busy before.

He ate the rest of the main course without a taste, put all the dishes in the dishwasher, made the dough for baking baguettes tomorrow, and put them in the freezer for later use, reckoning that it would be enough time for Yu Chen to finish his work After washing up, he walked upstairs slowly.

The second floor was pitch black, not even the sound of breathing.Holding his breath, Louis walked through his bedroom and entered Yu Chen's room through the balcony, only to find that the owner of the room had fallen asleep sitting on the sofa, with a black mask on his face, but wearing only a bathrobe , The unfinished body lotion is still thrown at hand.

It seems that I fell asleep while applying body lotion.

"Hey, are you that tired?" Louis leaned over and fiddled with his eyelashes.

Yu Chen waved his hands indiscriminately, turned his head to one side.

Louis resignedly helped him take off the mask, wiped his face with a wet towel, and because he didn't know the rest of the steps, he just took the lotion that said "Universal Cream" and wiped his face carelessly, counting it as the completion of skin care .

At this point, there is no need to get some of the gadgets that were specially prepared. Louis simply stuffed him into the quilt, squeezed himself into the narrow bed, and slept together awkwardly.

They woke up almost at the same time the next day. As soon as Louis opened his eyes, he saw Yu Chen glaring at him like a rabbit, not daring to move.As soon as he raised his hand, the rabbit slid into the bathroom as if it had escaped from an open cage.

Louis sat on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes for a long time, and felt that he was awake, so he knocked on the door annoyingly: "Hey, what are you running, this is your boyfriend. If you don't give me a good morning kiss, then take advantage of the sunshine Come……"

"Please stop talking! I have a work appointment this morning."

"Unfortunately, I also want to bake bread, so I can only talk about it on the weekend." Louis leaned against the door, and heard the sound of the water from the sink inside stop, "I said, I have to be free on the weekend."

"I know." Yu Chen replied in a low voice.
