Baguettes and Macarons

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

Yu Chen was silent for a long time before calmly saying: "Then we have to break up too, right?"

Louis said "ah": "It's okay, we can still be lovers. I won't find anyone else, you can rest assured."

"If you really thought so, would you lower your head and break the bread now, and dare not look at me?" Yu Chen asked back, "Did two of my employees say something to you?"

"I don't need them to tell me. Your store won't have a future next to this crappy bakery. Both me and my store are dirty and ugly, making others think that your store has been lowered."

Yu Chen sighed a long time: "I didn't expect you would think so after I put in so much effort."

He sat back in his seat and said calmly, "Since we have reached this point, fine, I accept it. Then we only have half a month to spend together, Mr. Legrand."

Louis said in a low voice, "I know."

"Can you listen to me for these two weeks?"

"Okay, it's only two weeks anyway."

Yu Chen smiled: "After finishing work on Saturday, I will not accept new appointments. Please come to my house on Saturday afternoon."

"We're breaking up, I won't sleep with you."

"Then let's do something else." Yu Chen spread his hands, "Then I'll go and finish the entrustment I've received first, see you on Saturday."

The weekend date that couldn't be fulfilled for two weeks was finally set, but Louis was not very happy. He didn't even prepare the dough on Friday night, and he didn't plan to sell baguettes the next morning.

He regretted what Yu Chen said.Maybe what Yu Chen has been saying is right, instead of staying in the poor neighborhood, it is better to give up this old bakery and work in a hotel.He can find a location closer to the Star House, maybe next to Shenyu Department Store.

If this continues, sooner or later, there will be no bread and boyfriend.

While thinking hard, he turned over and made the old bed creak.

"Dad, can your shop be closed?" He sat up and lit a cigarette.Because Yu Chen doesn't smoke, Louis hasn't actually lit a cigarette for several months.

He took a sip, and felt bitter and astringent from the nose to the throat. He didn't know why he liked this kind of thing before.

He put out the cigarette butt and lay back on the bed restlessly.There was also the sound of turning over from the next door.The bed is also very old, and it will collapse at some point.

I don't know how long it took him to fall asleep, but he was woken up by knocking on the door the next day.

At first he thought it was the sound of foraging pigeons pecking at the window because it was so quiet.It was only later that he recognized from the regular thumping sound that it was someone knocking on the door.

He scratched his hair and went to open the door naked.Standing at the door was Yu Chen. He didn't wear his usual three-piece suit today, but only a shirt and trousers, with the cuffs rolled up to the elbows, as if he had just done physical work.

Louis clicked his tongue: "What time is it?"

"Eight in the morning, this is the first time you wake up so late." Yu Chen pointed to the acrylic basket in his right hand, "This one is very heavy, can I go in first?"

Louie let him in sideways without even seeing what was in the basket.Yu Chen went straight to the toilet: "Borrow the bathroom."

Immediately there was the sound of filling the bathtub from the bathroom, Louis tightened his throat, secretly thinking that he would not be here——

Are you here to sleep?

Ten minutes later, Yu Chen came out in neat clothes: "Please come in."

"Wait a minute, where are we going?" Louis grabbed the shirts piled up by the bed and put them on indiscriminately, "Should we do something else?"

Yu Chen smiled and said, "Did you say you've listened to me for the past two weeks?"

Louis had nothing to say, and walked into the bathroom with his hands on his trouser waist and his head bowed.

His barely used tub was brushed to a glistening shine, filled with clear hot water, and steam filled the bathroom.Yu Chen followed him in and unbuttoned the first button of his shirt: "Please come here."

Louis swallowed, and just as he walked in front of him and was about to reach out his hand, he pressed his head and climbed over the washbasin, and the hot water from the shower poured over his head.

"What?" Louis was startled, struggling to raise his head.

"Wait a minute, I'll wash your hair." Yu Chen pressed the back of his head, "Your house doesn't have a special place for shampooing, so you can only make do with the sink."

It wasn't about sleeping.Feeling sad, Lu Yi plunged into the washbasin, letting Yu Chen apply shampoo on his half-length hair, and rub it back and forth three times.

I thought it was over after washing my hair, but Yu Chen took out a fine-toothed comb, combed the wet hair strand by strand until it was half dry, and applied another white cream, which smelled like coconut .

Yu Chen found him squinting at him from the mirror, and explained: "It's a hair mask, and it needs to be left on the head for about 10 minutes."

After all the strands of hair were masked, he put them in a shower cap and pushed the confused Louis into the bathtub.

He counted the time and asked Louis to soak in hot water for a while, and handed him soap for him to wipe by himself, and things were still normal until now.When it was time for the hair mask, Yu Chen washed off the foam on his body, then took out a cloth glove from the basket and put it on, rubbing his back.

Louie yelled, "It hurts so much! What is this, sandpaper?"

Yu Chen said with a chuckle: "You are so lucky, let me take out all these things. Please enjoy the magical magic of the East—bath towel!"

He diligently rubbed Louis from his face to his feet, and sat down beside the bathtub, out of breath, "I'm exhausted. You can rub your whole body twice."

Louis let go of the muddy water, washed off the dirt on his body with the shower, and muttered, "This thing really hurts, is there no other alternative?"

Yu Chen turned his head to the side: "Generally, you can use scrub instead, but this is the only way to wash you clean."

Louis sneered: "You are really troublesome enough."

Yu Chen said as if nothing had happened: "There is nothing troublesome, there will be more troublesome things later."

After taking a bath, it was not the end. After Yu Chen accepted the results of his own bathing, he put another tub of water and shaved his face with his own hands. Then he let him soak his head in bath salt and rest his head on the cushion On, apply the mask on the face.

The mask had a sweet rose fragrance, and it was also dark, which made Louis feel overwhelmed.

"I said, I'm not a little girl."

Yu Chen rolled a stone on his face in a mysterious way: "It's okay, neither am I. But don't men have the right to live a more refined life?"

He washed off the mask with a cotton pad dipped in water, and put on another greasy thing.
