【Wolves】Sugar, Spice, and Good Taste

At five o'clock in the morning, Logan got up on time and went down from his apartment upstairs to his small shop to start his day's work.Men stir the flour, sugar, prepare the whipped cream, bake fresh cakes and biscuits step by step, and store those sweet little treats in refrigerated display cases.

Logan is a pastry chef, although his perfect figure comparable to a male model makes him look nothing like it.When his friend Ororo heard that he wanted to open an independent dessert shop, he recommended to Logan this shop that was renting out - it was originally a small cafe.

Although this location is on the corner of the street, the flow of people is not too small. There are large shopping malls nearby, and the traffic is relatively convenient. Logan was very satisfied with the spacious and bright storefront, but when he went to inquire about the lease details, the beautiful female shopkeeper stared at him for a long time, and then carefully checked his documents before he believed that this seemed to be a protection Fei's tall man really planned to rent her shop.

However, even though Logan doesn't seem to be a talkative person, the female shopkeeper still made a request to him: "If you can reserve the seat in the innermost corner for Scott, I can give you a discount." This request sounds a bit strange , but it didn't hurt Logan, who of course agreed.

The man did not redecorate much, but replaced the wallpaper with a beige cloth pattern with stripes, and kept the wooden floor and the armchair and glass coffee table in the corner close to the wall.There is a transparent window between the back kitchen and the front hall, and guests can see how those delicate desserts are roughly made.Next to the snow-white marble front desk, there is an electronic fluorescent board, on which are the names and prices of drinks handwritten with colored highlighters, which can glow when plugged in, and can be seen clearly even at night.Finally, under Rogue's strong request, he reluctantly agreed to her drawing a few hearts on it.

Rogue is the clerk he recruited, a lively and cheerful girl, who he hired to help with the cash register and arrange the packaged desserts.When she was free, the brown-haired girl sat on the high chair at the front desk and read novels with relish.

"Logan." Rogue held the exquisitely bound book, and then wiped away the tears that didn't exist on his face, "Why is steadfast love always so sad and moving..."

"Rogue, put away the plates and send them to the back." Logan said angrily, the man put oven mitts on his shoulders, and put the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on the counter, sprinkled some icing and colored The jam was put on the counter.

Oh, read novels. Logan doesn't like novels, and he hates novel authors even more, especially the guy who likes to write sticky love, and his pen name is Cyclops.When Logan was dumped by his (ex)girlfriend saying, "Why can't you be as empathetic as Lon* in The Jotter, Logan?" Author, be sure to grab him by the collar and throw him against the wall.

When Rogue heard the man complaining, he just curled his lips and said, "You're jealous, Logan, you don't know what love is at all."

"I don't understand, brat." Logan walked out of the front desk and wiped his hands on the white apron. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the beautiful cover on the girl's hand. The cursive English of the author's name on it made the man feel very uncomfortable, " But I understand, if you don't go to work again, I will deduct your salary."

"Logan! You cruel capitalist!" Rogue grumbled, and then slammed open the curtain and entered the back kitchen. Logan grinned as he watched the girl's angry back.

Logan's dessert shop, called Wolverine, didn't start off well.Some children ran in excitedly when they saw the opening discount sign, but the owner sitting at the front desk was a scary-looking shopkeeper, staring at them with sharp eyes.So, even though Rogue smiled kindly, the children timidly paid the money and ran away like flying.

At that time, Rogue was discouraged and wanted to wear bunny ears on Logan to soften the man's tough guy style. After all, the public's impression of desserts is soft and sweet food.Not to mention how out of harmony a big bad wolf with three shiny steel claws on the signboard looks—

"Logan, you should change to a unicorn, no one will use a gray wolf as a signboard for a dessert shop."

"You can see it now! It's impossible to change the signboard!"

Of course, under Logan's oppressive glaring, Rogue could only compromise. She wore an apron with the Gray Wolf logo and distributed samples of cookies, puffs and small cakes outside the store to attract customers to buy .The desserts were delicious, and the owner wasn't as scary as they thought.So, slowly, Logan's shop is on the right track.

The corner seat has been reserved, because it is not next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, the light is dark and the view is not good, so not many customers are actually willing to sit there.Five months after opening, Logan finally knew who the reserved seat was for.

The wind chime at the store door made a crisp sound when the door was pushed open. Logan, who was sitting at the front desk, heard a customer coming in, and raised his head reflexively: "Welcome." Rogue gave the cake in the display window behind Frame the flowers, otherwise it might be better for her to receive the first-time guests, Logan thought.

Standing at the door was a young man in a light blue shirt and jeans, carrying a handbag, and wearing a pair of stylish red glasses on his face.The young man took a look at the interior decoration, and then looked at Logan. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Excuse me, has the owner changed here?"

"That's right." Logan replied, not missing the flash of disappointment on the young man's face.The young man nodded, and turned around to leave. Logan felt a possibility pop up in his mind, and he couldn't help asking, "Are you Scott?"

"Yes?" The young man turned his head and agreed.

"The previous owner asked me to reserve a seat for you." Logan, wearing a white apron, came out from the front desk, came to the young man, and said, "If you don't mind, you can come according to your original plan. "

"Thank you." Scott smiled. He walked straight to the corner and was surprised to see that the place he was used to sitting was still the same.He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he sat down, and skillfully took out the laptop from the bag and put it on the table: "Can I have a latte?" Logan responded, and turned to the front desk to choose coffee.

The man quickly and neatly set up the coffee machine, and when he turned around, he saw that the young man in the corner only had his earphones on his left ear, and then started working by himself.The young man's slender fingers quickly pressed on the keyboard, making people dazzled.

*The deformation of "The Notebook", Lon is the role played by James Marsden, borrowing the name.
