vines growing like crazy

"This wine is not good, the tannins are too weak..."

"The acidity in this bottle is too much..."

"This bottle," Xu Yao took another sip, "this one should be Hungarian noble rot sweet white in 07... According to the customer's request, let's keep this bottle in the sweet white, and don't try the others today."

Gu Berry glanced at the bottle of wine that Xu Yao left behind at the end, walked to the workbench and squatted down to look at the label, then looked up at Xu Yao, before she could see any emotions, Xu Yao was ready to drink. He turned around, raised his hand and rolled up the cuff of his shirt, and was about to wash his hands.

Gu Berry took out a new wine glass, picked up the sweet white one and poured herself a glass. She raised the glass and tried it once. After she was sure that Xu Yao had made a mistake, she walked over and called him: "Teacher Xu, The sweet white just now is Sauternes..."

Xu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and glanced at the sweet white wine that was still on the workbench, then at the bottle and label, a little bit unconvinced that he had tried the wrong wine, so he turned off the tap, casually He took out a paper towel and wiped his hands. The paper towel was balled up and thrown into the trash can beside him.

He went to the workbench and poured himself another glass, tried again, convinced that he had indeed made a mistake, that it was indeed not noble rot, but Sauternes.

Xu Yao put down his wine glass, and said to Gu Berry who was beside him, "Let's try other things."

Gu Berry picked up the notebook again and asked him, "Is Teacher Xu tired? There is another day tomorrow."

"It's okay, let's try again." Xu Yao said.

The few wines that Xu Yao tried afterwards were all right, and they directly chose the wine for this party.

This time it was a female customer, and the parties were all female, so there were more sweet whites and sparkling wines to choose from. Xu Yao finished choosing the wines in one go, but fatigue also followed...

After choosing wine, Xu Yao rested for a long time to let his tongue relax completely.

Gu Berry put down the wine glass and notebook in her hand, and put away the wine bottles on the table before asking Xu Yao, "Teacher Xu, have you been in a bad mood recently?"

Xu Yao shook his head, "No, why do you ask that?"

"Because I feel that you seem to be different today than some time ago."

Xu Yao frowned, "Is there any difference?"

"Yes," Gu Berry would say directly when she had something to say, "I feel different. You were in a good mood a while ago, but today is different."

Xu Yao said casually, "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

He did not sleep well last night. Tan Ziping has already returned. After Ye Han's wedding, Lu Sheng will still work overtime. He waited for Lu Sheng until twelve o'clock last night, although he went to bed on time at ten o'clock and turned off the lights. , but he kept tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He also suffered from insomnia before, but under Zhou Jin's suggestion, he found out a set of effective methods for regulating insomnia that suits him. It happened that I couldn't sleep well at night.

Lu Sheng came back in the middle of the night, around two o'clock. When he opened the bedroom door, Xu Yao took out the mobile phone above his head to check the time. After Lu Sheng lay down, he kissed goodnight on top of his head. Only then did I fall asleep soundly.

Ms. Qin called Xu Yao in the morning and asked him to go home for dinner at night and bring Lu Sheng with him, but Lu Sheng had already told him that he would work overtime at night when he left the house in the morning, so Xu Yao sent him a WeChat message. back home.

When Lao Xu opened the door for him, he looked behind him, "Where's Xiao Lu?"

Xiao Xu took Old Xu's arm and entered the door, "Xiao Lu is working overtime today, so I can't come."

Old Xu said regretfully, "I'm planning to play chess with him today."

"Let Xiao Lu play chess with you next time, and Xiao Xu will play chess with you today." Xu Yao said.

After seeing Lu Sheng's level of chess, Old Xu felt a little disgusted with Xiao Xu, "Your level can't inspire my fighting spirit."

Xu Yao smiled and said, "Xiao Xu's level is just right for you."

Ms. Qin came out of the kitchen when she heard the door open and asked the same thing, "Where's Xiao Lu?"

"Xiao Lu works overtime, Xiao Xu came back today by himself." Xu Yao took off his coat and hung it up, then went into the kitchen, looked at the ingredients in the kitchen, and exaggeratedly said, "Mom, there are only three of us tonight, so don't cook. A little bit."

"I've prepared everything. When you go back tonight, pack it up and bring it back to Xiao Lu to eat."

"Okay, take it back to Xiao Lu at night." Xu Yao bumped into Ms. Qin's shoulder with his shoulder, "You also care about Xiao Xu."

Ms. Qin tried the soup in the pot with a spoon, and asked him with a smile: "Is Xiao Xu's cough cured? Do you want to cook a bowl of pear soup for you tonight?"

"No more coughing, no more soup."

Ms. Qin made another dish, and chatted with Xu Yao who was picking vegetables, "How are you getting along with Lu Sheng recently?"

"pretty good."

"Are you planning to get married?"

Xu Yao wiped off the water from his hands, walked to Ms. Qin's side and supported her shoulder, and said, "Mom, I haven't been with Lu Sheng for long, so it's too early to say..."

Ms. Qin said with a smile: "I just asked this casually. Don't worry. It's better to let nature take its course. You can handle this matter yourself."

Xu Yao let go of Ms. Qin's shoulders, continued to pick vegetables, and said after a while: "Mom, you don't have to get married, just talk like this, it's fine..."

When Ms. Qin heard this, she quickly answered: "Xiao Yao, you can't treat your relationship negatively just because your relationship with Song Sen failed. You don't want to get married, Xiao Lu doesn't necessarily think so."

"He may also think so..." Xu Yao added in a low voice.

Ms. Qin said: "Xiao Lu is not unmarried at first glance. I still remember clearly how he introduced himself when he came to our house last time."

Xu Yao asked her: "How did Xiao Lu introduce himself? I really don't remember this."

"Xiao Lu said at the time that he is your boyfriend now and will be your partner in the future..." Ms. Qin repeated Lu Sheng's words, "Think about it, what does a boyfriend represent? What does a partner represent? What he said at the time But clearly, Xiaoyao, my mother told you that if you really plan to never get married, you can't hide it from Xiaolu. If the concept of marriage and love is different, you have to communicate well with Xiaolu and confess to each other. It's not good to cheat on marriage, and it's not good to cheat on love..."

After hearing what his mother said, Xu Yao's emotions in the past few days were swept away. He smiled and assured: "Mom, I didn't lie to anyone to fall in love with me. Don't you know who your son is?"

Ms. Qin felt relieved, "Of course my son would not do such a thing..."

With the last dish left, Ms. Qin asked Xu Yao to go to the study to play chess with Lao Xu. He had just come out of the kitchen when the doorbell rang. His heart skipped a beat and he ran two steps to the door. When he opened the door, he thought it was Lu Sheng, but Song Sen was standing outside the door.

"Yaoyao..." Song Sen stood outside the door and called him in a low voice.

Xu Yao put away the smile on his face, looked back, and closed the door casually.

With his back against the door, he asked, "Song Sen, why did you come to my house?"

Song Sen pursed his lips, and called him again: "Yaoyao..."

Xu Yao interrupted him: "You should call me Xu Yao."

Song Sen sighed, "I'm here to look for you. I didn't find you when I went to where you live just now, so I came here to have a look. I saw your car downstairs, so I came up."

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Xu Yao asked.

The elevator door in the middle of the corridor opened, and a couple from the next door got out of the elevator. Xu Yao knew each other and greeted them.

Song Sen looked at the elevator door and said, "Is it okay to go downstairs? It will only take a few minutes of your time."

This time is the time to get off work, neighbors come and go, Xu Yao nodded, "Go downstairs."

It was a bit windy outside, Xu Yao only wore a sweater, he didn't go far, he stood under a few sycamore trees downstairs, Song Sen stood beside him, the two were separated by a few steps .

As soon as the wind blew on his body, Xu Yao felt the cold air blowing into his neck, and his whole body was covered with goose bumps. He asked again: "What do you want from me? Tell me now."

Song Sen pursed his lips and wanted to move forward, but Xu Yao subconsciously took a step back, Song Sen raised his hand, "Yao Yao, I drank too much last time, I was wrong when I said that about you, I know You are not that kind of person, some time ago it was your birthday, I sent you a message, but you didn't reply me, you blocked me, I went to your company to find you, they said you went to France, I just... How are you recently?"

"Very good." Xu Yao said.

Song Sen raised his hand and pulled the tie around his neck, lowered his head and thought for a long time, "Yaoyao, I, I, will get married soon."

After Xu Yao finished listening, he didn't show any superfluous expressions, and his heart didn't change, as if he heard a stranger's words, he just nodded and said, "Congratulations."

Song Sen continued: "Yaoyao, originally, you were the one who would marry me. If you... If you tell me now that you don't want me to marry, I won't marry you. Yaoyao, as long as you Just tell me, and I'm done."

Xu Yao took a long breath after listening. He didn't want to say anything more at first, but he still couldn't help opening his mouth.

"Song Sen, I will bless you when you get married, but I think marriage is not a child's play. Your current attitude is childish and stupid. The process of two people getting to know each other until they love each other is full of wonderful fate and beauty. The two people want to be together for a lifetime, so they enter into marriage, not your current irresponsible and game attitude, Song Sen, you should learn to be responsible for yourself, your lover, and your future marriage partner , you are like this now, I will only feel unworthy for your future partner, everyone deserves to be treated well, I hope you can understand that feelings are not a game field, you can't always live up to you, otherwise in the end, the only thing you regret is Just you."

"I regret it now, Yaoyao, I..."

Song Sen said, wanting to talk to Xu Yao, but was thrown away by him, Xu Yao looked at the numb expression on Song Sen's face, knew that it would be useless to talk too much, and didn't want to waste time with him, "Song Sen, you can You don't need to tell me anything else, you are married, I bless you, I have already said what I should say, and that's it..."

After Xu Yao finished speaking, he wanted to bypass Song Sen. Song Sen stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Yao's hand, but before his fingers touched Xu Yao's skin, he was suddenly slapped off his wrist by a strong force.

There was a crisp "pop" in the wind.

Song Sen was slapped hard on the back of his hand, and he turned around and roared, "Who the hell hit me?"

"You want to hold my boyfriend's hand, I'm being polite to you by not knocking out your teeth, get out..."

Xu Yao looked back when he heard the voice, the suffocation just now dissipated the moment he saw Lu Sheng.

"Why are you here? Didn't you say you work overtime at night?"

Lu Sheng took three steps in one step, stood beside Xu Yao, wrapped his arms around his waist, and pulled him into his arms, "I'll play chess with my dad and eat the food made by my mother. Don't wait for me, I'll come by myself..."

"I thought you were working overtime."

"When I finished, I saw your message and drove over. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, my mother said to make a few more and bring them home for you to eat."

"I'll eat by myself, so I don't need to bring it." Lu Sheng touched Xu Yao's hand, "It's so cold, I don't need to wear more clothes."

As he said, he took off his overcoat and put it on Xu Yao's shoulders, and wrapped his collar around him again, "Be warm..."

"warm."

……

The two of them spoke to each other very well, Song Sen who was standing next to them glanced at them, turned around and left quickly.

Lu Sheng turned his head and took advantage of the dim light, glanced at the person who was no longer visible, put his hand into Xu Yao's coat, squeezed Xu Yao's side waist, and asked, "What did you say just now?"

Xu Yao led Lu Sheng back into the building, "He's getting married, come and tell me."

"He's about to get married, why did he come to hold your hand..."

Xu Yao repeated what Song Sen said just now, "He said, if I disagree with one word, he won't end it."

"Damn it, I really won't be polite to him if I pester you again..."

Lu Sheng cursed, and said, "You are my wife now, and you will marry me in the future..."
