vines growing like crazy

The winery of Lu Sheng's family is on the left bank of Bordeaux. The car has been driving along the road. Xu Yao will come to Bordeaux once a year, sometimes twice a year. Now he is looking at the night scene receding outside the window, but suddenly he is at a loss.

The two of them didn't speak any more. Lu Sheng fell asleep on the back of the chair for the rest of the journey. Xu Yao looked at his sleeping profile from time to time. He could see that Lu Sheng was very tired. The dark circles under his eyes were obvious. He was asleep. His brows were also tightly furrowed.

An hour later, Xu Yao could smell the soil outside the window, as well as the natural fragrance of the vineyard.

Lu Sheng's brows were still furrowed, Xu Yao moved to his side, raised his hand, and carefully touched his brows with the pulp of his fingers, trying to smooth out the wrinkle.

As a result, he woke up as soon as his finger touched Lu Sheng. Xu Yao hurriedly withdrew his hand, sat upright on the chair, tilted his head and continued to look out the window, but was still afraid that Lu Sheng could hear his heartbeat.

Lu Sheng opened his eyes, pinched the base of his nose, "Sorry, I fell asleep, and I'll be there soon."

"You look tired." After Xu Yao finished speaking, he lowered the car window, trying to distract himself from the beating of his heart.

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. I just slept for a while and felt better."

After he finished speaking, he pointed out the window to Xu Yao and said, "The vineyards on these two sides belong to my winery. There are not many grapes, and only a few hectares are planted every year. It will be almost here when you pass through this vineyard."

Xu Yao stretched his fingers out of the window, and the cool night breeze blew through his fingers, leaving a cool air, and he could hear the rustling of grape leaves in the wind.

He asked, "Are the grapes ripe?"

"It's all ripe, and the picking has already started during the day. All of our estates are hand-picked, hand-picked, brewed, barreled, and bottled. Every process is strictly controlled."

Lu Sheng said with a smile, "You are a wine taster and you know better than me. I grew up here when I was a child, but after I was ten years old, I rarely came to the manor. Although my family has a lot of wine, I I don't really like drinking."

Xu Yao still looked out of the window, thinking of that time in the bar, he said, "I can see it."

Lu Sheng asked Xu Yao: "I just remembered that there doesn't seem to be a bottle of wine in your house. Do you usually not drink?"

Xu Yao withdrew his hand stretched out of the window, glanced at him and said, "I don't usually drink alcohol, and I don't collect wine. I need to taste too much wine every day. If I drink it every day, I may be a wine drinker every day." Drunkards, in fact, long-term drunkenness will also affect the senses of the tongue, it will be numb, and the ability to taste wine will be reduced, so there is no alcohol at home."

Lu Sheng thought for a while and said, "The manager of my father's winery is a person who loves wine very much. If he doesn't drink at the winery, he may be a little angry."

Xu Yao smiled: "Occasionally a little bit doesn't matter."

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the manor. Lu Sheng asked someone to drive the car into the manor's villa. Someone was already waiting outside. The manager of the winery was named Lin, and Lu Sheng called him Lin Bo.

Lin Bo had already prepared dinner, and he really prepared red wine for Xu Yao. When he heard that Xu Yao was a sommelier, he took out a bottle of his own collection for many years.

Lin Bo used to be the winemaker of the winery. During dinner, he had been chatting with Xu Yao about wine, and the two chatted happily.

Lu Sheng listened from the sidelines, but couldn't get in. He was too sleepy at the end of the dinner, so he interrupted Lin Bo, who was still in high spirits, "Lin Bo, Xu Yao will stay at the winery for about a week, you can come tomorrow Go on."

Lin Bo glanced at the time, felt a little sorry, and stopped pulling Xu Yao to talk about wine, "The room is ready, and Mr. Xu's room is next to Ah Cheng."

"Okay, thank you Lin Bo, it's my first time to drink your treasure today, it's an honor." Xu Yao just drank three glasses of red wine, felt a little dizzy after standing up, and his face was a little hot and red.

Lin Bo felt a little proud, "Actually, I have many other treasures. I will take Mr. Xu to see my collection tomorrow."

When Lin Bo talked about drinking, he couldn't stop, Lu Sheng took Xu Yao's arm, "Lin Bo, you go to bed early too, we'll talk tomorrow."

Lin Bo waved his hands, "Go upstairs and rest."

Lu Sheng's room is in the middle of the second floor, and the room that Uncle Lin prepared for Xu Yao is at the bottom of the second floor. Xu Yao walked to his door and was about to push the door open when he heard Lu Sheng call him.

"Yao Yao..."

Because of the alcohol, Xu Yao felt that his reaction was a bit sluggish, but he was not too drunk, and his brain was still clear. After a while, he responded, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sheng stood in front of his room door, "A while ago, why did you avoid me?"

Xu Yao blinked at him, he didn't know how to speak, he did intend to hide from Lu Sheng, but he still explained: "I was really busy a while ago."

Lu Sheng didn't ask any more questions, and continued: "Tomorrow morning I will get up early and go to the city to do some business. You can go for a stroll in the manor with Lin Bo tomorrow morning. You can go anywhere you want. If you don't want to be with Lin Bo Together with Bo, you can walk around the manor by yourself. There will be a sightseeing car in the manor. The vineyard is behind the winery. After the vineyard is a small town. I won’t be back too late. I will be back before noon. to have lunch with you,"

Xu Yao's eyes were soft, slightly drunk, and he nodded after listening, "Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry about me, just go about your business first."

Lu Sheng said, "Okay, good night."

"Good night." Maybe it was because of standing for a long time, Xu Yao felt his forehead swelled a bit, he thought, maybe he should go to bed early, and he has jet lag.

Lu Sheng looked at his side face, Xu Yao's eyelashes were drooping, and his hair was loosely attached to his forehead, and he called him again: "Yaoyao..."

Xu Yao raised his head and looked at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng looked into Xu Yao's eyes, perhaps because of those glasses of red wine just now, when Xu Yao looked at him, his eyes were less alienated and indifferent, those glasses of red wine seemed to be rippling in his eyes There were little ripples, a little more enthusiasm that could not be seen in his eyes usually, and there was even a hint of confusion and cautiousness in his eyes.

Lu Sheng only felt that his chest was gently pulled by him. Some time ago, he could feel that Xu Yao deliberately kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally. Bother him too much.

But he didn't know when it started, and he regretted the proposal to let Xu Yao be his bed partner at the beginning. There was a physical intimate contact between the two, followed by an inevitable emotional touch, He had several bed partners before, and when they ended the relationship, some of them didn't feel that they were more than just bed partners, so he would not keep in touch with a certain bed partner for too long.

But what he had to admit was that from the very beginning, Xu Yao was an exception with him, and he never even thought of giving up this relationship, let alone now.

Before just now, he just wanted to go back to his room and go to bed earlier. During the two weeks in France, he had too many things to deal with. He hadn't had a good night's sleep for several days. He rushed from Paris to Bordeaux Airport this evening. His idea was simple, he wanted to meet Xu Yao.

Seeing it now, he has become obsequious, not daring to break the silence, but now he really wants more, but it is not out of physical desire. What he wants more may be just is a hug.

He opened his mouth and asked Xu Yao, "Do you like grape vines?"

Xu Yao didn't know why he asked such a question, so he nodded, "Of course."

Lu Sheng said: "The back garden is behind my room. There are many plants planted in the garden. There is a grape vine that has grown very tall for many years. The leaves cover the window eaves of the balcony on the second floor. I think, maybe , you might want to take a look."

Xu Yao's hand holding the doorknob paused, and his fingertips tightened and loosened unconsciously. It took him a few seconds to recall what Lu Sheng just said in his mind, and finally he turned his body sideways. , walked to Lu Sheng's side, "It should be very beautiful."

At noon the next day, Xu Yao was sitting on a rattan chair in the back garden. He looked up at the grape vines in the back garden. In fact, not only Lu Sheng's room could see the vines, but the room that Lin Bo arranged for him was the opposite. That vine, and even a bunch of ripe purple-red grapes hung a little under the window eaves of that room. If he was standing on the balcony now, he might be able to pick the bunch of crystal-clear and plump grapes with his hands.

Nothing happened to Lu Sheng and him last night, he just hugged him to sleep, and said goodnight to him before going to bed, Xu Yao thought he would not be able to fall asleep, but in fact he slept soundly all night.

This morning was the first time he didn't wake up at the time he expected. He thought it might be due to jet lag. Before Lu Sheng left, he should have told Lin Bo that no one went to the second floor to disturb him. I slept until ten o'clock.

After he got up, he walked around the winery accompanied by Lin Bo. Lin Bo tried a few bottles of wine for him that he had never tried before.

His original arrangement in the afternoon was to go to a private wine cellar on the left bank, which was Will's personal friend. They had already made an appointment before he came to France, but he just received a call from the other party, and the other party had to pay due to an emergency. , the family is rushing to another city, and they won’t be able to return until next Wednesday, and Xu Yao’s plan for next week is to go to Paris, and the schedules of the two parties happen to be staggered, so we have to give up this time. They were all a little embarrassed, and finally they made an appointment for next year.

Xu Yao was completely free in the afternoon. Lu Sheng just sent him a message, and he was already on his way back to the winery and expected to arrive in half an hour.

Afraid that he would be bored in the back garden, Lin Bo sent him a pair of scissors and a bamboo basket for him to pick ripe grapes in the back garden.

Xu Yao picked himself vigorously, and he only put down the scissors when the alarm clock rang. He glanced at his phone. It was three minutes before Lu Sheng arrived home. He went to the front hall with a basket full of grapes.
