vines growing like crazy

Lu Yue quickly sent the photo to Lu Sheng. After receiving it, Lu Sheng clicked to open it and showed it to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao moved closer to Lu Sheng, glanced at the photo on his phone screen, the two leaned side by side, looked at the camera, with maple leaves under their feet, and the blue sky above their heads, he looked at it for a while and said: "It was the last time The photo of Fenglin Road taken by Yueyue, she really looks good."

Lu Sheng clicked on Xu Yao in the photo: "He is a good-looking person."

Xu Yao laughed silently. He watched Lu Sheng save the photo on his phone and set it as a screen saver. He said, "Send me a photo too."

Lu Sheng put away the phone after posting the photo on Xu Yao's WeChat, "I'm going to wash up, and then I'll go downstairs for dinner."

After he finished speaking, he went into the bathroom. After washing his face, he looked at himself in the mirror. The water droplets on his face were still dripping down. He thought, maybe he could chat with Xu Yao about Qiao Yi. There was no other expression change on Yao's face, but he could easily feel his subtle emotional changes, and there was a faint inconspicuous concern in his eyes.

When Lu Sheng was about to call Xu Yao when he came out of the bathroom, he saw that he had already opened the door. Lin Bo was standing outside the door. He sent them some grapes from the back garden and put them in the living room downstairs. He wanted to invite Xu Yao to make wine with him. He hadn't brewed wine for many years, and it was rare that he wanted to start again today. He felt that he and Xu Yao were very speculative.

Of course Xu Yao was willing and readily agreed, Lu Sheng had no choice but to put Qiao Yi's matter aside, and after having dinner with Xu Yao, he followed Lin Bo to the vineyard.

They started picking grapes in the vineyard by themselves, carefully selecting bunches of grapes, the quality of the grapes, in addition to the weather and light, the soil is also an important criterion, including fertilization, and finally the fruiting of the vines The situation is indispensable.

After the grapes are picked, they need to be sorted and destemmed within 24 hours. Grape stems contain most of the tannin, and Lin Bo also kept some grape stems at the end. They want to brew more than one kind.

Finally, it was late at night when the crushed grapes were soaked and fermented in wine barrels. Of course, Xu Yao could not wait for the day when the fermentation was completed, but Lin Bo still told him: "Mr. Xu can come back later and try the taste of these wines." .”

Of course Xu Yao is looking forward to it, but before that, it will take a long, long time.

Xu Yao was so tired that night that he touched the pillow and wanted to sleep. Lu Sheng said to him before he went to bed: "The day after tomorrow is your birthday."

It was only then that Xu Yao remembered that it was indeed his birthday. He had promised Lu Sheng to draw on that day. In fact, since Lu Sheng said that he wanted to draw him on his birthday, Xu Yao began to look forward to his birthday. In China, I was still resisting and dodging, but now I have a completely different mentality.

No one knows what your body looks like better than yourself.

But he still has no reason, expecting——

Xu Yao was looking forward to how Lu Sheng would paint him on the canvas, and he really wanted to take a look now.

On October [-]th, Xu Yao woke up on time at seven o'clock with the sound of birds chirping outside the window. The quilt only covered their waists and abdomen, and their calves were hooked together, indescribably lingering.

He was lying in Lu Sheng's arms, his heartbeat and his slight breathing could be heard beside his ears.

Lu Sheng also opened his eyes quickly, and kissed him on top of his hair, "Yaoyao, happy birthday."

"Thank you," Xu Yao moved his body, "It's time for me to get up."

Lu Sheng dawdled on his shoulder for a while before letting him go, "I get up too, and I'll cook longevity noodles for you later."

"Okay," Xu Yao replied, got up and went to the bathroom.

Before he wiped his body, Xu Yao stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, looking at his body, from the dripping hair down, the few eyelashes sticking together after being wet, reddish lips, angular The not-so-sharp chin, then the straight collarbone, the thin muscle lines on the body, and finally the calf and ankle...

He thought it would be good to draw it.

Lu Sheng cooked a bowl of longevity noodles, and Xu Yao ate them very cleanly, there was not even soup left. Just now Lu Sheng told him that there should be no leftover longevity noodles, and he must finish it. After eating, Xu Yao felt that he had eaten a little Too much.

He received a lot of congratulatory text messages in the morning. When Lao Xu wished his son his birthday, he also sent a message asking him to secretly bring a bottle of wine home.

Xu Yao looked at the emoji that Lao Xu sent him, and replied to his father: "Yes, but they can't let the head of the family, Ms. Qin, see it."

As a result, within 10 minutes, Ms. Qin sent Xu Yao a screenshot of their chat history.

Xu Yao had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes. Ms. Qin didn't hold him accountable because of his birthday, and turned her head to teach Lao Xu a lesson. He could only pray for Lao Xu silently.

Cong Xing's text message followed Ms. Qin's and sent him a red envelope by the way.

Cong Xing said that he followed Yi An into the mountains for filming, and the stylist will also follow the group. He will stay in the mountains for a month and will not come back until next month. He also sent a selfie to Xu Yao.

He said that he had only been in the mountains for two days, and it was getting darker. Cong Xing cried to him for a long time, saying that he didn't want to take jobs anymore after he came back, and he wanted to support himself.

Xu Yao clicked on Cong Xing's photo and found that he was indeed dark, but his neck was still white. He was about to exit the photo when he suddenly noticed a man's finger on Cong Xing's side in the corner of the photo. cropped.

Xu Yao asked him: "Who is the man beside you?"

Cong Xing sent him a smirk emoticon and a name.

Seeing Yi An's name, Xu Yao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Cong Xing's wish to come true.

"What are you looking at, so happy." Lu Sheng leaned over to glance at his phone, and when he saw the photo on the screen, he asked him, "Who is this?"

"It's my friend, we have a good relationship, we grew up together." Xu Yao didn't say that Cong Xing was the one who wanted to introduce Meng Yi to him.

Lu Sheng didn't ask, "I have everything ready, can we start? In the previous villa."

Xu Yao nodded and followed him to the previous villa.

But what Xu Yao didn't expect was that Lu Sheng actually said that he wanted to paint in the back garden.

Lu Sheng stood in the living room and pointed out the window, "Under the vines in the back garden, you can sit on the wicker chair."

Xu Yao was stunned, and asked him uncertainly: "Yes, are you outside?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lin Bo who was sitting on the sofa reading a wine magazine, and then at Aunt Wang who was busy in the kitchen. The glass window in the kitchen was facing the back garden.

Xu Yao swallowed, looked back at Lu Sheng and asked, "Someone will see it. Aunt Wang is facing the back garden. Both she and Lin Bo can see the back garden."

Without thinking about it, he shook his head, "That won't work."

"Why?" Lu Sheng asked, "You promised me last time."

Xu Yao still shook his head, "It doesn't work if there are other people around, it can be in the room, or a place where there is no third person."

After a pause, Lu Sheng said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. Is Yaoyao afraid of being seen?"

Xu Yao's ears were reddened by what he said, and he whispered, "Would you be willing to stand in front of Aunt Wang or Uncle Lin and be watched by them?"

"It's not every day..." Lu Sheng paused when he said this, he looked at Xu Yao's evasive eyes, and the pink stain on his earlobes, and finally figured out why Xu Yao didn't want to go to the back garden. He asked: "Yaoyao, do you want me to draw your body?"

"Isn't it..." Xu Yao looked directly into Lu Sheng's eyes. Lu Sheng's eyes were clean. He suddenly realized that what he thought was different from what Lu Sheng thought. Lu Sheng said to let him sit in the back garden and draw. The painting he was talking about was not his nude body, but an ordinary painting. He opened his mouth and quickly changed his words: "Yes, you can sit in the back garden."

He blinked at Lu Sheng, and emphasized again, "It's really okay, it doesn't matter if Aunt Wang and Lin Bo see it..."

Lu Sheng was amused by him, "Did you just think I was going to..."

"I didn't think so." Xu Yao hastily interrupted Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng didn't tease him anymore, "Well, you didn't think I wanted to draw your naked body. In fact, I really want to draw it, but not now."

Xu Yao looked back at Lin Bo who was sitting on the sofa, and whispered, "I really didn't think so, don't say it so loudly."

Lu Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Okay, listen to your birthday painting. I wonder if it's okay to hang it in my gallery office after I finish it. I don't want anyone to see your body."

The weather outside is not so good, even gloomy. The sky is a foggy gray tone. The branches and leaves of the grape vine in the garden have turned slightly yellow, and it was covered with grapes a few days ago. Lin Bo The ripe grapes have been picked, and now there are only a few bunches left, sparsely hanging on the vines, between green and yellow, there is a little more faint purple.

Xu Yao was sitting on the bench, and Lu Sheng told him to do whatever he wanted. He didn't need to keep the same movement all the time, he could do whatever he wanted.

This is Xu Yao's second time as a model for Lu Sheng. The first time was fishing by the lake. He hadn't looked at Lu Sheng's paintings carefully.

Now he is looking at the person behind the drawing board. Lu Sheng is sitting on a chair, looking up at him from time to time. His trousers are accidentally stained with a little blue paint. Shake on the color wheel, and finally paint a little bit on the canvas.

Lu Sheng's eyes are very serious, he is very serious when he writes, and he is very serious when he looks at him, as if he is painting a cherished treasure.

Xu Yao sat in the back garden all afternoon, and when it was over, it was almost dark, Lin Bo turned on the lights in the yard early, Lu Sheng finally put down the pen in his hand, Xu Yao walked up to Lu Sheng and looked at it .

The background sky in Lu Sheng's painting is blue. He asked, "Today's sky is gray, not blue."

Lu Sheng took a paintbrush, and used the tip of the brush to draw a little bright color on Xu Yao's eyes. He said, "In my eyes, today's sky is blue, and the windy day is just right..."
