After Wen Yuan sent the text message, Zhang Huaite didn't reply for a long time. He was not sure, and looked at Qi Jinran behind him, "Jinran, you said White...would he care?"

"Will you care? We'll find out when we return to Wancheng tomorrow."

"Well, when I get back to Wancheng, I have to discuss with White how to increase the passenger flow."

"You said earlier that the decoration style of the dessert shop across the street is very similar to yours?" the man asked him.

"Yes, but I haven't gone to see it yet. I'll go over tomorrow to taste what's in their store."

Qi Jinran's eyes were dark, one hand wrapped around Wen Yuan's waist, and stroked his black hair.

"You take a few photos and send them to me. If the design style is similar, we can sue them for copyright infringement."

"Well, I'll do it tomorrow."

It only takes three hours to return to Wancheng from S City.As soon as he landed, Wen Yuan couldn't wait to go to the dessert shop.To his surprise, Xiaohui told him that the store manager asked for leave today and was not in the store.

Only the chef and a few assistants are busy in the back kitchen. Since Wen Yuan came that day and had a talk with the new chef, the chef is not in a hurry to leave, but just said to stay for a while try.

But Wen Yuan also knew in his heart that this head chef was not compatible with Zhang HuaiTe, and he probably wouldn't be able to stay for long, he had to find another one.It would be the best if Chen Xingyu could come back. Chen Xingyu and Zhang Huaite's baking skills are on par. If the two continue to cooperate, the business of the dessert shop will definitely flourish. It's a pity...

Wen Yuan went to the shop opposite, and as soon as he walked in, he smelled the sweet and greasy fragrance.In addition to selling desserts, this store also sells coffee and various milk teas. The decoration style is a low-profile version of their store.

Wen Yuan sat down at a booth, and found that the plants in the store were all fake, and the flowers on the table were also fake flowers, and he wanted to laugh.

No wonder, as soon as I came in, I smelled a faint smell of plastic.

He ordered a few signature desserts, took them away, returned to his shop, and tried them with Xiaohui.

Counterfeit shops also imitate them and make cheesecakes, but the taste is far from theirs.The taste of cheese is not strong, and the cake embryo is not soft enough.As for other desserts such as Black Forest Red Velvet, the cream used can be tasted as inferior vegetable cream.No wonder the price is so low.

"I'm going! This macaron is too hard, like a rock." Xiaohui took a bite of the blue macaron and put it down.

"It's such an unpalatable thing, and I don't know why the business is so good." She looked indignant.

Wen Yuan glanced at the opposite side with a calm expression.

"They have just opened, and there are various promotional activities, and the price is lower than ours. When customers compare, of course they will choose their home. Many people don't pay much attention to desserts, so it's normal that they can't taste good or bad."

Xiaohui was so angry that she dumped the macarons on the table into the trash can.

"It's like bad money driving out good money, and the owner of the store opposite is too disgusting."

"The market is like this. If one family does well, everyone wants to share the cake, which can easily lead to involution."

"By the way, did White say where he went?" There were very few customers in the store on Monday today, so even if Zhang White was not there, the back kitchen was not too busy.

"I seem to see that he bought a plane ticket and should have gone to another place."

Air tickets?Wen Yuan's heart moved slightly. Could it be that White really went to find Chen Xingyu?

"Wen Yuan, I see that those food anchors on the Internet are very popular, should we also invite an Internet celebrity to bring goods or something?"

A few days ago, Wen Yuan also had the same idea as Xiao Hui, but after a little investigation, he found that this idea was not feasible.

"Those Internet celebrities have too much water, and the live broadcast fee is expensive, and there may be no way to get back their money. Why don't we try to create an account ourselves."

When Xiaohui heard this, she clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? There are so many handsome guys in our store, why do we invite internet celebrities? The handsome guys in our store can become internet celebrities themselves!"

Wen Yuan smiled, and his expression was a little melancholy.

"Let's talk about it when your store manager comes back. We can make a preliminary plan for this matter and discuss it with him when he comes back..."

Wen Yuan stayed in the dessert shop all afternoon, held meetings with several chefs and assistants, and returned to Shuixieju at night after stabilizing the morale of the army.

He was making a red velvet cake in the bakery, and while he was spreading cream, his cell phone rang suddenly.

He picked up the phone, and there was Zhang Huaite's hoarse voice on the other end.

"Wen Yuan, can you take me in for a while? I can't go home today."

Wen Yuan was startled, and looked out of the window, and saw Zhang White's white Chevrolet parked outside.

Wen Yuan had a premonition that something had happened, he quickly went downstairs and walked towards the entrance.

On the driveway, seeing him appear, the windows of the Chevrolet lowered, revealing Zhang White's face.

Seeing the bruises on the young man's face, Wen Yuan looked extremely shocked and opened his mouth slightly.

"White, did you get into a fight?"

Zhang Huaite's handsome and deep face was a little gloomy, but he didn't deny it.

"My God, who did you fight with?" Wen Yuan suddenly thought of a possibility, and looked at him in disbelief.

"You wouldn't go to S city and see that Zixuan——"

"Ouyang Zixuan." Zhang Huaite said those four words coldly.

"Who told him to touch Chen Xingyu?"

Wen Yuan didn't believe that Ouyang Zixuan would be that kind of person who has no sense of proportion. He was eager to know what happened, so he took out his mobile phone and called Chen Xingyu.However, no one answered.

"Don't fight, I'll tell you what happened."

Zhang Huaite turned off the engine, got out of the car, and closed the door heavily.

"Do you have alcohol at home?"

in the living room.

Zhang Huaite was holding a half-empty red wine bottle, his long and thick eyelashes drooping, and a tinge of red on his fair face.

Wen Yuan brought the freshly baked red velvet cake in front of him, and tentatively asked, "White, have you eaten yet? Do you want to eat something first?"

Zhang White's condition looks very bad.

"If you can't eat it, forget it."

Zhang Huaite took a sip of the wine and put the bottle on the tea table. His black hair fell down on his forehead, and his expression looked more sluggish than ever.

"White, did you go to City S to find Chen Xingyu?" Wen Yuan asked him cautiously.

Zhang Huaite didn't speak, just drank the wine one after another.He did go to city S to look for Chen Xingyu, he just wanted to know why Chen Xingyu was able to be with other men so soon after confessing to him.He refused to believe it, he had to see it with his own eyes.

As a result, I went to the baking school. As soon as I entered the classroom of the advanced class, I saw Chen Xingyu standing with the man wearing glasses, discussing the steps of making European buns.

Chen Xingyu had flour on his face, and the man with glasses reached out to help him wipe it off. The two were very close.

Unspeakable anger swept over Zhang Huaite immediately. He was the one who had worked very well with Chen Xingyu in the back kitchen before. Why is there another man beside him now?And Chen Xingyu was still smiling so happily at that man!

The flames of jealousy burned his heart, and Zhang Huaite's face was even distorted because of being too angry.He strode up to Chen Xingyu.

He never thought of fighting Ouyang Zixuan. He didn't expect the man to become very defensive when he saw him appear. He wanted to say a few words to Chen Xingyu, but the man stopped him.

"Zhang Huaite, what are you doing here? Didn't you reject Xingyu?" In the empty classroom with no students, Ouyang Zixuan looked at him coldly, blocking Chen Xingyu behind him.

"This is between me and him, you don't need to worry about it!"

Zhang Huaite knew that Ouyang Zixuan was Chen Xingyu's best friend in city S, but he never knew that Ouyang Zixuan actually had such feelings for Chen Xingyu.Obviously he was the one who grew up with Chen Xingyu, how could anyone be able to take his place?

"Zhang Huaite, even if you are a scumbag, you should have a limit. Since you don't like Xingyu, why do you come here? Xingyu's affairs are my affairs, why can't I control them?"

Seeing Chen Xingyu standing behind Ouyang Zixuan, motionless, not even looking at him, Zhang Huaite's heart suddenly became cold.

"Who are you? Chen Xingyu's business is your business? Heh, you've known him longer than me?" Zhang Huaite looked at Ouyang Zixuan contemptuously, and unconsciously spat out vicious words from his mouth.

"You figure it out, the person Chen Xingyu likes is me, he won't look at you more, don't pretend to be affectionate here."

"You—" Ouyang Zixuan's face was flushed with anger at his words, and the veins on his forehead heaved.

"I like you, but that's already in the past tense." Suddenly, Chen Xingyu said coldly.

Zhang Huaite was shocked, his whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Ouyang Zixuan suddenly became proud, "Zhang Huaite, don't you understand people's language? They said they don't like you, can you get the hell out of here—"

Before Ouyang Zixuan finished speaking, Zhang Huaite punched him in the face.

"So... you guys started fighting, my goodness, did anything happen?"

"It's nothing, it's just some skin trauma."

Thinking of Chen Xingyu ignoring him at the police station and helping Ouyang Zixuan wipe his wound, Zhang Huaite's heart throbbed.

He realized that he was humiliating himself by flying to City S to meet Chen Xingyu. As soon as he came out of the police station, he bought the fastest ticket and returned to Wancheng.

With such a ghostly face on his face, it is naturally impossible to go home. The rented house has long since been withdrawn because he wants to open a dessert shop. He has nowhere to go, so he has to come to Wen Yuan.

When Wen Yuan heard his narration, various complicated expressions crossed his face, including surprise, shock, regret, and so on. He looked at Zhang White's face, and after a while, he tentatively said, "White, why do you want to How about hitting Ouyang Zixuan?"

"I just can't stand him looking like a gentle scum. Like a fox."

Wen Yuan smiled and couldn't help but said, "But Ouyang Zixuan isn't with Chen Xingyu either, why are you so angry?"

A strange light flashed across Zhang Huaite's dark eyes. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just took a sip of wine slowly.

Wen Yuan finally gave him a knowing blow, "White, have you fallen in love with Chen Xingyu?"

This time Zhang White did not deny it, his eyes were a little red, he drank the last bit of red wine in the bottle, and fell down on the sofa.

Wen Yuan looked at him with a face full of bruises, with a somewhat unbearable expression, and decided to take a medicine box to help him deal with it.

As soon as she opened the medicine box and took out a cotton swab, Qi Jinran came back.

He saw Zhang Huaite who was sleeping all over the place in the living room, his handsome brows were slightly frowned.

"How did this guy come here?"

Wen Yuan briefly told him what happened just now.

"It deserves it." Qi Jinran snorted coldly, and snatched the cotton swab from Wen Yuan's hand.

"You go to take a shower, if you want to wipe it, I will help him wipe it."

"Then remember to be gentle." Wen Yuan was a little worried when he saw the man gnashing his teeth.

"Don't worry, I'll take it easy."

Qi Jinran curled the corners of his mouth coldly, and when he saw that he had gone to the bedroom, he pressed the cotton swab soaked in medicine on Zhang Huaite's face.

Zhang Huaite was so drunk that he cried out twice unconsciously, and soon fell into a deep sleep again.

Wen Yuan came out of the shower and found that Zhang Huaite's face had already been medicated. Qi Jinran was sitting on the sofa watching the news. When he saw him coming out, he slightly raised his eyebrows, "This guy is going to hang on?"

"White said it's not convenient for him to go home today, so let's take him in for one night." Wen Yuan looked at the man pleadingly.

"No, I don't take drunks here."

Wen Yuan knew that Qi Jinran was angry, so he moved closer to the man, grabbed his arm and shook it coquettishly, looking at him with wet eyes.

"Let's just help White. White is already enlightened. He fought today because of Chen Xingyu. I think the two of them can still be saved. Don't give up on him so quickly, okay?"

"It's his own fault that he has fallen into what he is today." Qi Jinran glanced at the people on the ground and made a crisp evaluation.

"I can only sleep in the guest room. I'll let the housekeeper come in to deal with it. Don't worry about it." The man finally compromised.

"Okay, okay, I don't care." Seeing the butler help Zhang Huaite to the room, Wen Yuan felt relieved, thought for a while, and then sent a text message to Chen Xingyu.

——White drank alcohol today. In my place, I asked the housekeeper to take care of him. You don't have to worry.

He knew that even if Chen Xingyu pretended to ignore Zhang Huaite on the surface, he definitely still cared about him in his heart.

Sure enough, the other end replied quickly.

--sorry to bother you.

After reading the text message, Wen Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and put his phone on the bedside table.He took out his laptop and wanted to study how to make a food video. Before watching a few minutes, Qi Jinran came out of the bathroom.

The man closes the laptop on his lap and sets it aside.

"It's so late and you still watch electronic products, go to bed quickly."

"I'll just watch it for a few more minutes. I want to learn how to make videos." Wen Yuan wanted to go to the bedside table to get the computer, but the man grabbed his arm and pressed him on the bed.

Qi Jinran's black hair was still steamy, and he looked at him closely with his handsome face.

These few days Wen Yuan was busy with his graduation thesis and the dessert shop, and the two of them hadn't gotten close to each other to their heart's content. Seeing Qi Jinran's deep eyes now, Wen Yuan felt a little itchy in his heart.

"What did you do wrong today? Do you know?" Qi Jinran grabbed his arm and pressed it on the bed, her slender body covering him oppressively.

"I should have told you in advance, before taking Zhang White home." Wen Yuan honestly admitted his mistake.

The man snorted coldly, his eyes darkened.

"Not just this, you are not allowed to drink with other men in the future."

"I didn't drink. I just watched White drink. He's in a bad mood. It's okay if he wants to vent."

"It's not okay to watch others drink, you know that Zhang Huaite treats you—" the man paused, but did not continue, but his cheeks were bitten faintly.

Wen Yuan knew what he was thinking, his brows and eyes were slightly curved, and he couldn't help stroking his hair.

"Honey, don't be angry, White may have liked me before, but the person he likes now is Chen Xingyu. You really don't have to worry."

Fearing that Qi Jinran was still sulking, he took the initiative to wrap his arms around the man's neck, and kissed the corner of his mouth forcefully.

"What posture do you want to use today...I promise you, okay?

Qi Jinran's Adam's apple twitched, feeling a little thirsty in his throat.

"You said it yourself."

He couldn't help but put his hand on Wen Yuan's neck, slightly stroking the Adam's apple sliding above.

"Well, I promise to do what I say." Wen Yuan looked at him with fiery eyes.

The man's chest suddenly seemed to ignite a flame, and the heat spread to his limbs, and even the nerve endings began to be excited.

He unbuttoned Wen Yuan's pajamas in two or three strokes, and pushed him on the bed.

"Wait, your hair hasn't been blown yet." Seeing that Wen Yuan was about to sit up, Qi Jinran pressed his head down impatiently.

"Don't worry, you're going to sweat anyway."

Warm lips pressed against him, the man's familiar breath wrapped him up, Wen Yuan kissed him back enthusiastically, his expression gradually became a little blurred.

Qi Jinran really did what he said, he didn't even take off his prosthesis, and tossed him in different ways all night.

In the middle of the night, Wen Yuan was so tired that he fell asleep, his body vacated in a drowsy state, and he was carried into the bathroom.

Qi Jinran patiently helped him wash his body and change into new pajamas before carrying him to the bed.

As soon as Wen Yuan was put down, the sleeping boy subconsciously hugged his arm, not letting him go.

Qi Jinran stroked his hair helplessly and dotingly, and then lay down under the quilt, hugging Wen Yuan tightly.

In the morning, Wen Yuan was still sleeping, but Qi Jinran woke up.The man went downstairs to the kitchen to make a sandwich, and happened to meet Zhang White who came out of the bedroom.

Seeing the red mark on his neck, Zhang Huaite looked a little embarrassed.

Qi Jinran greeted him calmly.

"Stay for breakfast? I'll make a sandwich."

"No, I still have to go to the store. I've troubled you and Wen Yuan last night."

Zhang Huaite turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by a man.

"Some people won't wait for you all the time. What you disdain may be regarded as treasure by others. I hope you understand this truth."

Zhang Huaite's back stiffened, his eyelashes trembled twice, he nodded slightly, and walked out of the villa.

Since the fight that day, Zhang Huaite seems to have returned to his former high-spirited state. He goes to the store every morning to research and develop new desserts, and is the last one to leave at night.

Wen Yuan has always cared about making food videos, but he has never found a suitable person who can edit videos.He told Ji Hong about it, and the latter suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Isn't the boss of our dormitory from the Department of Computer Science? Just ask him to recommend a few people."

Wen Yuan thought it was true, and quickly asked the boss for help.

"There is a junior in our department who is just looking for an internship. She has experience in video editing and her hobby is photography. I can recommend her to you."

"Boss, you are really my savior!"

After confirming the interview time with the school girl, Wen Yuan went to the store ahead of time, wanting to see the new dessert developed by Zhang Huaite.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Xiaohui told him the bad news with a dejected face.

"Wen Yuan, the new chef resigned and left yesterday."

Wen Yuan was startled, and quickly went to the back kitchen, only to find that Zhang Huaite was busy at the counter.The back of his white chef's uniform was soaked with sweat.

"White, haven't you found a suitable chef yet?"

Wen Yuan was a little worried.

"It's not that easy to find. I can handle it by myself. It's okay." Zhang Huaite looked calm.

"You are the store manager, and you have to take care of the work of the chef. How can you be so busy? Or I'd better go to the recruitment website—"

Wen Yuan hadn't finished his sentence when Xiaohui's exclamation suddenly came from behind. He thought something happened in the store and strode out. To his surprise, the person standing at the door turned out to be Chen Xingyu.

"Xingyu, why are you back?" Wen Yuan looked very surprised when he saw him, strode over and patted him on the shoulder.

"I heard that you are short of a chef. I really left too hastily before. I will help you first. I will leave when I find a suitable chef."

Wen Yuan was so excited that he didn't know what to say, he pressed Chen Xingyu's shoulder heavily, his eyes turned red.

"Xingyu, we miss you very much."

"Yes, chef. You're back." Xiaohui was also full of surprises when she saw him. When Chen Xingyu was here, the back kitchen was full of laughter and joy, but when Chen Xingyu left, the back kitchen became lifeless. , she couldn't speak.

Chen Xingyu put down his backpack, opened the door of the back kitchen, and saw Zhang Huaite standing in front of the sink with his back turned to him.

"I'm back." The young man's voice seemed calm, but only by listening carefully could he find the trembling inside.

"Well, you are too bad, and you have been robbed of business by the new store opposite. I heard Yuan said that their ingredients are poor, and the taste is also unpalatable. This kind of store is not qualified to open opposite us."

Chen Xingyu walked in with a smile, pretending nothing happened, and changed into his white chef uniform.

"Are these mangoes for mango mousse?" he asked.

Zhang Huaite hummed lightly.

Chen Xingyu nodded, picked up the mango, and skillfully began to peel and slice it.The two were busy with their own affairs, and for a while there was only the sound of various instruments running in the kitchen.

Suddenly, Chen Xingyu's hands trembled.

Zhang Huaite has been paying attention to him all the time, and he caught a glimpse of red from the corner of his eye, and the movement of his hands stopped.

It's not a big deal to cut your finger with a knife. Chen Xingyu put down the knife, took a piece of Band-Aid to wrap it, and continued to remove the mango core.

It's just that before the knife turned, someone grabbed his wrist.

"Go to the side and rest, I'll come."

He has been in for so long, this is the first time Zhang Huai Te has looked directly into his eyes.

Chen Xingyu looked into his green eyes and put down the knife without saying anything.

Wen Yuan saw this scene through the gap in the door, turned around with confidence, and went to the front desk.

On the weekend, Wen Yuan interviewed the school girl recommended by the boss of the dormitory in the dessert shop.The school girl is called Suzhou, and she is also from the Department of Computer Science. She wears a pair of round glasses and is small and cute. She doesn't look like a computer student.

Suzhou's dream since she was a child was to work in a dessert shop, but her family felt that computers had a future, so she chose this major.As soon as she walked in today, she felt that her girlish heart was stimulated, and she couldn't help but ordered several desserts.Regardless of whether the internship can be successful or not, in short, you must first feed your stomach before talking.

"Junior girl, the job content I'm talking about is the above. We will pay you according to the market price. Do you have any questions?"

Suzhou wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth with paper, looked at Wen Yuan's handsome face, his eyes were shining brightly, "Senior, it's absolutely fine! This is my dream job, and I can work with a handsome guy like Senior, I'm going to die of happiness!"

Wen Yuan smiled embarrassedly, at this time Zhang Huaite and Chen Xingyu came out from the back kitchen, Suzhou saw them, his eyes became brighter, and he let out a sigh of wow.

Wen Yuan smiled, introduced the identities of the two of them to her, and said, "You not only want to photograph me, but also photograph them. How about it? Are you more motivated?"

Suzhou nodded vigorously, and couldn't wait to say, "I can come to work now, there is no problem at all, I guarantee that all of you in my camera will be beautiful in the prosperous age!"

Suzhou came to the interview with camera equipment, and she kept her promise. After passing the interview, she set up the camera in the back kitchen and started filming people at work.

Zhang Huaite is not used to facing the camera, and he doesn't like Suzhou focusing on his face.

"You don't need to take pictures of me, just take pictures of what I make." Zhang Huaite looked a little serious when he spoke.

Suzhou thought that this handsome mixed-race guy should have a good temper, but he didn't expect the handsome guy to be so serious when he started working.

"Your name is Xiao Su, right? It's okay, come and take a picture of me." Chen Xingyu waved at him.

Suzhou's eyes lit up, and he walked over with the camera on his shoulders, collecting materials on the spot.

She already likes food, and when filming the process of making desserts, she also drools.

"Shut up your saliva, don't drip it on the dessert." Zhang Huaite was very disgusted.

"The store manager, you are so handsome, it would be a pity not to show your face."

Suzhou is a self-acquaintance, and soon became friendly with them in the back kitchen, daring to ask them anything.

"I don't need to rely on my face to attract customers."

"It's not a question of whether you need it or not. It's what we need in our store." Wen Yuan walked in, picked up the camera in Suzhou and looked at it, and found that the materials inside were not bad, especially the light, which was used just right. The desserts are all very tempting.

"How about this, Xiao Su, in the early stage, let's make the faceless version first, take a few photos of the dessert making process and upload it to see, if the response is good, we can try to make a faceless version."

"Okay, senior, I will listen to you."

She thought that Chen Xingyu had just made mango mousse, and she was a little greedy, so she couldn't help but go to the chef with a good temper.

"Brother Chen, you just made mango mousse, do you have any scraps left?"

Zhang Huaite watched Xiao Su approach Chen Xingyu, his handsome eyebrows slightly frowned.

"I have cheesecake here, do you want some?"

"Manager, you are so kind!" Suzhou hurried over.

Working here, she doesn't need to be paid, as long as she can give her a little leftovers every day.

Wen Yuan watched this scene and smiled silently.

"Xingyu, let's have dinner together tonight. You finally came back, and there just happened to be a new member joining the store. We should get together."

Chen Xingyu nodded, "Okay."

When the shop closed at night, Wen Yuan booked two tables at a nearby barbecue shop and brought all the staff from the dessert shop there.

Two waiters and an assistant sat at a table.Their table is Wenyuan Xiaohui Suzhou, Zhang Huaite and Chen Xingyu.

Wen Yuan knew that Chen Xingyu's stomach couldn't eat too spicy food, so he only ordered bland barbecue.

"Xingyu, you are quite similar to Jinran from our family. He also can't eat too heavy food. Every time I want to go out for barbecue with him, he always looks disgusted."

Wen Yuan pushed the steamed oysters to his side.

Chen Xingyu smiled, and picked up a piece of oyster meat, "Actually, I like to eat barbecue, but my stomach can't stand it."

"Senior, we're having a staff dinner today, and you're still here to show off your love, it's too cruel to single dogs like us!" Suzhou exclaimed.

She is a cheerful and lively girl, and the people at the table don't talk much, especially the store manager who is extremely silent, so she wants to liven up the atmosphere.

"Senior, what's the point of just eating like this, why don't we play truth or dare?"
