Chapter VII
The diner played by Shen Yi looks up at the name of a dessert shop called Je t'attends when he passes by, and then he walks into the dessert shop and goes straight to the front desk.
"Hello sir, what do you need?" The waiter asked him with a smile.
"A chocolate brownie." Shen Yi didn't look at the menu and directly ordered a dessert.
The waiter who was about to place an order hesitated for a moment, and quickly regained his smile: "Okay sir, please wait." “
Shen Yi took the ticket and found a corner to sit in.
Soon, the dessert was served, and Shen Yi rotated the tray and looked at it carefully for a while before picking up the spoon and digging down the piece.
Shen Yi's brows furrowed slightly when he took the first bite, and then the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc, and then he chewed carefully one bite at a time until he finished eating.
Shen Yi found the back kitchen, looked at the pastry chef who was busy with his back to him and bowed his head, and asked in a mocking tone: "Hey, I said, replace the rum with Baileys and the frosting with sea salt, such an indecent brownie, will anyone order it a second time?" ”
After hearing this voice, the pastry chef played by Zhuo Zhuo suddenly stopped decorating the cherry on the dessert, and the camera captured the slight tremor of his fingertips. I didn't say the dessert was called brownie. What's more, maybe someone has been looking for this flavor? There were many deliberately suppressed emotions in the slightly choked voice.
"That's right." Shen Yi smiled: "When do you get off work, I'll wait for you." ”
"It's coming." Zhuo Zhuo responded, with some imperceptible flickering in the corners of his eyes, and then continued to make the dessert in his hand.
Shen Yi walked out of the back kitchen, glanced at the menu when he passed by the front desk, and found the name of this dessert - it turned out to be Je t'attends, which was the same as the name of the dessert shop. Shen Yi sat back in his previous seat, looked at the store carefully, and then looked out the window.
When it was time to leave work, Zhuo Zhuo, who had changed into his work clothes, walked to the front hall and said to the waiter who was finishing the finishing work: "Tomorrow, change the name of Je t'attends in the menu back to Brownie." ”
The waiter was a little surprised: "Huh? Didn't you say that Je t'attends is to wait for someone, boss? Are you planning to stop doing Je t'attends? What if he can't find you? ”
"No case, because, I've been waiting for him." With that, Zhuo Zhuo walked step by step towards the man who was sitting quietly in the corner with his back to him.
The camera finally froze on Shen Yi's retrospective gaze with a smile in his eyes.
The whole filming process went smoothly, and after the end, Zhuo Zhuo thanked the director and staff one by one, and then went to the lounge to change clothes and tidy up briefly.
After cleaning up, Zhuo Zhuo walked out of the lounge to find Apricot, and when he passed by a cubicle, a familiar voice came from the crack in the half-hidden door, and he couldn't help but stop.
"Uncle Chen, thank you for coming to help Je t'attends shoot the commercial this time, it's hard work." It was Shen Yi's voice.
Immediately, Zhuo Zhuo heard Director Chen say heartily: "Haha, Xiaoyi, you kid, what else do you say thank you to Uncle Chen." Je t'attends is the first brand you created after returning to China, and of course Uncle Chen will support it. When you came to me with this self-written advertising script, I could see that you put a lot of care and importance into Je t'attends, and although it was a small script, it was well written. ”
"Uncle Chen has won the award."
"Don't be modest, you kid. I've heard that Je t'attends was a dessert that you designed in the first place. I know you know that you went to France to study business management in the past few years, and if you don't know, you thought you went to Le Cordon Bleu to learn dessert making, haha. ”
Shen Yi chuckled.
"But, Xiao Yi, I've also tasted Je t'attends, and this taste is really ...... Serious brownie. ”
"Uncle Chen, didn't you just say it, it's called Je t'attends."
"Haha, that's exactly what I said. I just don't know if the people who eat it can understand. Okay, it's not too early, I'll clean up and go back, don't forget to help me and your father bring it! ”
"Goodbye, Uncle Chen."
When Shen Yi found Zhuo Zhuo with a packaged dessert, he was sitting alone on the stairs looking at a prop sign that read Je t'attends.
"Take it." Shen Yi handed the dessert in his hand to him. Zhuo Zhuo took it, it was a piece of Je t'attends, and looked at Shen Yi with some confusion.
"It's not a prop, it's for you to eat." After that, he sat down next to Zhuo Zhuo, his elbows on his knees: "This studio was originally the first store of Je t'attends to open to the public, and in the shooting just now, the desserts and ingredients are real...... Only the story is fake. ”
Zhuo Zhuo took a bite of the Je t'attends in his hand, which was the same as the taste he tasted when talking about endorsements, but it seemed to be a little different. There was no pastry chef at the scene, and it was self-evident who made this piece of Je t'attends, remembering the conversation I had just heard.
He still remembers the first time he tried this dessert, and the first thing that hit his taste buds was not sweet, but a faint salty taste---- like tasting a tear that accidentally slipped into the corner of his mouth, and there was even a trace of bitterness on the base of his tongue. But after chewing carefully, the burying Baileys gradually dispersed with a burst of milky aroma, driving away the saltiness on the tip of the tongue little by little, and even the slight bitterness was swallowed up, and finally only the delicate sweetness was left firmly embedded in the mouth-----
Like a person who is tormented by waiting, he slowly learns to take out the beauty of his memory little by little and lick it every time he is tormented by helplessness and bitterness, and tell himself - you see, it is not bitter at all. Then, stubbornly continue to wait for a long time.
At that time, Zhuo Zhuo thought, this is probably the taste of waiting.
But now he feels that this taste is more like a lonely person, guarding his wound that he doesn't know when it will heal, while holding sugar in his mouth, he smiles and says, "Wait, it'll be fine, it won't hurt." ”
And the outline of this person seems to be sketched in my mind little by little, and what finally emerges is the familiar figure.
Zhuo Zhuo, Zhuo Zhuo, you let go at the beginning just to see him become what he is today, right?
That's right, he has changed, in the days without you, but because of you.
What to say for the good of each other, what to say to make him feel at ease to do what he likes, in the end is just to let him taste this every day for three years to live.
Zhuo Zhuo, Zhuo Zhuo, what are you, why did you let him suffer such torture for you.
Zhuo Zhuo was eating the dessert in his hand while scolding himself over and over again in his heart.
Je t'attends, I certainly understand.
Je t'attends---- I'll wait for you.
Ke Zhuozhuo, are you worthy?
After Zhuo Zhuo finished eating the last bite of the pastry, Shen Yi looked at the time: six forty, got up and said, "Follow me to a place." ”
Zhuo Zhuo didn't ask much, and silently followed.
