The next step? Are we going to start making the wine? Renzi asked curiously.

In the vineyard was a small workshop. As Shu Jingyi had made arrangements beforehand, the lights were on, and a professional was already waiting inside. They actually had not picked a lot of grapes, but it did not matter as they were not brewing a barrel of wine. Just a little would be enough, as they were only doing it for fun. Shu Jingyi separated the grapes into two baskets, one he passed to the professional, the other he held on to it.

Renzi asked, Why do they have to be separated into two baskets?

Since weve said that we were going to prepare a gift for Gu Xiaoshan, so we should make the wine together. As for mine, Im already very happy that youve picked the grapes for me, the rest doesnt matter.

The biggest reason was because Shu Jingyi felt that the wine made by the professional would have less issues.

As the final product would not enter his own digestive system, and instead go into the guts of his love rival, together with his sleepiness, Shu Jingyi went through the process of wine making in a very slapdash manner. Even Renzi, a careless person, could barely watch him continue.

Just randomly throwing everything together and pounding it is enough?

Shu Jingyi replied, Our household is not very particular about the process.

Renzi accepted this explanation.

After they bottled up the wine, Shu Jingyi left the farm with Renzi. By then, the sky had already brightened.

Shu Jingyi smiled at him, Are you going back to sleep some more? Or would you like to have breakfast?

Renzi responded, I think Ill go back to bed. Ill have breakfast later, if not well be discovered by Brother Xiaoshan!

True, then it wont be a surprise anymore. Shu Jingyi hooked his little finger with Renzi. Remember to keep it a secret.

Renzi returned to his room. He did not manage to sleep for too long before he was woken up by Gu Xiaoshans knock on his door. When Renzi woke up due to the noise, he looked at the clock and scratched his head, resigned. Brother Xiaoshan really always wakes up early no matter what!

Renzi went to open the door, but saw that Gu Xiaoshans face was a little unfriendly.

What happened? Did you not sleep well?

Gu Xiaoshan made his way into Renzis room and smiled. You went out?

Huh? Renzi looked at Gu Xiaoshans elegant smile, but felt shivers run down his back. N-no, no Why would you say that?

The fury in Gu Xiaoshans heart burned brighter. This kiddo even learnt to lie now! All for that Shu Jingyi!

Oh? Gu Xiaoshan leisurely sat down on the couch in Renzis room, his ankle on his knee. Take a seat too.

Renzis scalp tingled, and sat on the couch. He sat up straight stiffly, guilt on his face.

Do you still remember what you promised me last night?

Renzi replied dully, Yes, to not go out at night.

Yes, it was out of concern for you. Gu Xiaoshan spoke reasonably, and sighed. If you really needed to go out, would I stop you? If you told me about it, I would even go with you! Even if you dont tell me about it, theres no need for you to lie to me. Does it mean you dont trust me? Wont this make me feel sad?

Hearing his, Renzi suddenly felt that his actions were very unacceptable. He was very ashamed, and nearly knelt on the ground.

No, no its not like this! Brother Xiaoshan, Im sorry! I didnt mean it like this!

Then how did you mean it? Gu Xiaoshan asked.

Renzi let the cat out of the bag. I wanted to give Brother Xiaoshan a surprise, so I went to pick grapes with Mr Shu to make wine for you. So, I couldnt tell you about it.

When Gu Xiaoshan heard this explanation, he was a little annoyed and irritated. However, that was all towards Shu Jingyi. As for Renzi, he did quite like the idea, and so said, Youre actually spending so much effort, silly.

Renzi washed up and went to the dining room for breakfast with Gu Xiaoshan. Shu Jingyi was already waiting there. He probably had not went back to bed, and so was early.

Gu Xiaoshan smiled, President Shu has woken up so early, dont tell me youve been waiting for a long time.

No, no, I just woke up. Shu Jingyi greeted the two guests. The servants also started bringing out the breakfast items.

Renzi focused on buttering his toast, not daring to lift his head. He kept feeling guilty no matter whether it was towards Gu Xiaoshan or Shu Jingyi. Shu Jingyi then started a carefree chat with Gu Xiaoshan. Would you two be staying for lunch?

Thats too much trouble for President Shu. Gu Xiaoshan answered. Weve already disturbed President Shu last night. Later on, well be leaving, thank you for your hospitality.

Shu Jingyi laughed, Its fine. Im also very lonely here by myself. Instead, I have to thank you two for accompanying me. As he said this, he smiled at Renzi.

Renzi chewed on his toast with a confused look on his face. Gu Xiaoshan instead cut in, Also, has Renzis wine been bottled up? Well bring it with us when we leave later. Who knows when well come back again? Like this, we can also save President Shu the effort of bringing it over.

Shu Jingyis face changed subtly. He gazed at Renzi. Didnt we say that this was a secret between the both of us? We even crossed our little fingers on it, but it actually didnt count.

Renzi lowered his head guilty and continued chewing his bread.

Gu Xiaoshan explained on his behalf. No, no, he tried to hide it. However, hes never been to keep anything from me. Its been like this since he was a kid. Heheh.

Heheh. Shu Jingyi chuckled in return. However, the wine has just been bottled. If its taken out now, the conditions of the fermentation cannot be controlled.

Gu Xiaoshan responded, Its fine. The temperature recently has been quite suitable for fermentation anyway. Placing it in the car, theres also no direct sunlight on it, its ok. Just like how ordinary people also dont have a temperature control when they ferment the wine, its the same thing.

Shu Jingyi then asked his stuff to deliver the sealed wine bottle to Gu Xiaoshans car. Gu Xiaoshan and Renzi both got in as well. Gu Xiaoshan stared at them like an owl, and so Shu Jingyi was unable to display any excessive amount of intimate actions as he bade them farewell. He still had the same thought, Gu Xiaoshan really watches over him very tightly, guarding against him as though he was a thief.

When they were in the car, Renzi finally could not help but ask Gu Xiaoshan, How did you find out that I left the room?

I knew it immediately after I saw your face. This time, Ill let it go, but dont try to hide anything from me in the future. Gu Xiaoshans tone was very convincing, and so Renzi believed that Gu Xiaoshan was very perceptive. He completely did not realize that he had been exposed through his WeChat.

After they got off the car, the wine bottle was delivered by the staff to Renzis room. Gu Xiaoshan asked, Do you want someone to send it to the wine cellar to keep a control over the temperature?

No need, didnt you say that ordinary people have no need for that? Also, weve never drank such a crudely brewed wine before, lets try doing it the old-school way.

Gu Xiaoshan thought, you cant even get used to Shu Jingyis malt liquor. Now you want to try the old-fashioned method of brewing wine, you definitely wont like it.

However, he still smiled at him. Sure, whatever you want.

Renzi then eagerly waited for the grape juice to turn into wine.

Say, when my grapes turn into wine, can I confess then? Renzi sent a message to Yu Yuntao, asking him for a solution to his romance troubles.

Towards Renzis occasional display of culture, Yu Yuntao did not really get it. What does this have to do with grapes?

It really seems like theres nothing to do with it. However, Renzi felt very twisted it over it. But I really want to confess my feelings! Im about to be unable to hold it back anymore! Every day, when I see Brother Xiaoshan, I feel that hes really too fucking handsome! Also, Shu Jingyi keeps coming over and hanging out with us. C Country is now in autumn, and the mountains are very cold. I have no choice but to wear long johns, yet this old uncle keeps wearing his shirt leaving a few buttons unbuttoned! He keeps showing off his chest, smiling wickedly. If hes not trying to seduce anyone, I wont believe it!

I thought they didnt work out? Yu Yuntao was quite surprised.

You all said that, thats why I let down my guard. Renzi was full of grievances. Now, I feel that theres something between them. When they talk, its like an enigma, and Im unable to butt in. There really seems to be something going on with them.

Miles and miles away, Yu Yuntao was unable to understand the situation personally. Just by listening to what Renzi said, it really did seem suspicious. Yu Yuntao clicked his tongue. I would never have imagined Actually, no, I can imagine it. Theyre both crooked and use underhand methods, the type to hide a sting under their honey words. Maybe, they really started growing feelings for each other. If Gu Xiaoshan really likes this sort, then its truly game over for you.

Renzi was about to start crying tragically when he heard what he said. They wont! Elder Brother, dont scare me! Did I come all the way here to this remote place to witness their love?

Yu Yuntao heard how miserable Renzi was, and so consoled him. That may not be the case. I also dont understand this situation. However, its better to be safe than sorry. You better keep a close eye on them, and dont end up letting someone steal him from under your nose.

Renzi nodded, but he still felt a little discouraged, as Yu Yuntaos If Gu Xiaoshan really likes this sort, then its truly game over for you made complete sense. If it was something more superficial, Renzi could still do some plastic surgery and have a makeover. However, to become like Mr Shu, so scheming, in a short period of time, Renzi was really at a quandary. He then asked, extremely anxious, Old Brother, do you think I have a chance?

Yu Yuntao hurriedly comforted him. Of course! Of course! Actually, if you didnt mention anything about President Shu, I would have felt that you have made quite a lot of progress.

Huh? Why?

Yu Yuntao analysed it for him. I was thinking, if you flew into his mountain, and Gu Xiaoshan forced you to return, and asked you to stay at home obediently, then you really would have no chance. However, hes willing to keep you there, and even bring you around to play, I feel that you have a chance.

He continued after a pause. Also, if he really has something going on with President Shu, it should be done behind your back. Why would anyone let you play gooseberry? To check if youre ripe?
