A Walk-on Actor Who Wants to Be A Baker - Chapter 32

Chapter 32: I’ll stay here so you can see me better.

Translator: Flying Lines

A career-oriented man would have no energy to care about love matters once he buried himself in business. Fang Qiao was just an example.

The boss of the popular cake shop-Mr. Fang, now put his heart into his business. Having spent more than half a month, he not only had employed enough staff, but also confirmed the location of his second shop. How vigorous and effective he was.

One afternoon of a working day, there were few customers in the shop. Snatching a little leisure from the rush of business, Fang sat still behind the counter in a trance.

He had always been this way recently. Nothing happened when he was busy, but once he was free, he couldn’t help thinking about Lu Yanzhou.

The words on the phone that night still seemed to be lingering in the ear. Even when Fang thought of it now, his ears were still burning. He had no idea whether Lu had been serious or just said it casually. Anyway Fang took it seriously. He would recollect it before going to sleep every night, and then he would smile to himself for quite a while.

However, although Fang had been lost in thoughts of love for over half a month, Lu, the cruel guy, didn’t come even a single time. It seemed Lu had forgotten him. Fang got pissed off.

Just as the saying goes, one day apart seems like three years. Fang was almost in such a state for the moment. Let alone he hadn’t seen the guy for half a month, so it had been more than a dozen years according to the saying.

Just when he was lost in thought, the wind chimes on the door rang. Fang shouted, “Welcome!” as usual. But as soon as he saw the person, he got stunned with his heart beginning to beat wildly without control.

Lu was not alone today, and he took a little girl in her teens by the hand. Fang thought to himself, ‘Look! It’s been indeed over a dozen years! Even the guy’s child got so big.’

“It’s the daughter of my brother”, Lu said to Fang, “I don’t know how to take care of a child, so I bring her here.”

“…”

Well, it turned out that Lu was not here for him specially. His throbbing heart cooled down immediately.

Holding Lulu’s hand, Fang took the little girl to bake cookies.

“Don’t you have to go to work, Mr. Lu?”

“I have been abroad recently and just came back in the morning. Just giving myself half a day off.”

Actually, Lu had planned to come to see Fang directly after he got off the plane, but his brother made him be a free babysitter halfway. Thus, a burden just stepped in.

Lulu, the burden, was a representative of contemporary naughty children. Lu Yanzhou didn’t know what to do with her at all. But Fang was different. Having grown up in an orphanage, he was quite good at getting along with a child. As soon as he took out the mould for making cookies, Lulu became obedient.

“Brother Fang Qiao”, calling Fang intimately over and over again, Lulu forgot Lu Yanzhou in an instant. Being free and easy, Lu just sat aside comfortably to play on his phone with his legs crossed.

Fang suddenly felt the scene seemed familiar. When Han Jiayue was making cakes the other day, Lin Yao was just idling this way as well.

Fang felt sorry for himself and Han. Being bottom was just so miserable.

Although Lulu was young, she was very sensitive. Seeing Fang always cast secret glances at

Lu Yanzhou while making cookies, she asked in a loud voice, “Brother Fang, is my uncle very handsome? Why are you always peeping at him?”

Hearing the words, Lu raised his head at once, and looked towards Fang with interest.

Fang flushed, but he still refused to admit, “You little child, don’t talk nonsense. I…I didn’t peep at him.”

Pouting her lips, Lulu was unwilling to submit, “No, I didn’t talk nonsense. My father always peeps at mom this way. I get it well.”

Feeling his head was about to explode out of embarrassment, Fang fought hard to hold back his impulse to stuff cookies into the girl’s mouth.

But Lu Yanzhou got interested somehow. Not swiping his phone any more, Lu got up, went up to Fang slowly, and leaned against the table naturally. Fang shrank away uneasily, “Mr. Lu, go back to sit as you were just now.”

“No. I’ll stay here, so you can see me better.”

“…”

Shameless! Who did you think you were!

Lu Yanzhou turned to Lulu, “Call him uncle. You can’t call him brother.”

Raising her little face, Lulu asked naively, “Why?”

Smiling maliciously, Lu Yanzhou moved closer and whispered in Fang’s ear deliberately, “With a generation gap, I’m afraid I won’t be able to enjoy myself to the full when making love.”

“…”

Fang grabbed a handful of cookies, and stuffed them into Lu’s mouth.
