Chapter 90



After Yu Ci washed the white flowers, he discovered that an acquaintance had come to the wine shop.

Yu You was also surprised to see him: "Brother Yu Ci, you are here too?"

The woman standing nearby looked around and asked, "Do you know each other?"

"Yeah." Yu Ci put the bamboo basket in his hand on the table: "Has anyone contacted you about ordering wine?"

The woman nodded and smiled brightly: "I'm glad to have you. Otherwise, without tourists, my father's winery would not be able to survive."

"It's all settled."

Yu Ci didn't say much. He looked at Yu You who was standing beside him and asked, "Is Shi Jin here?"

Yu You: "I am here. I think I am going to the outer room for a walk."

When Yu Ci walked out, the big pot outside was still bubbling with smoke.

Uncle Yu was not there, and Shi Jin was the only one sitting on the bamboo chair next to the pot, looking down at his phone.

The bamboo chair happened to be shaded by the white magnolia tree planted outside the stilt house, so Shi Jin did not hold an umbrella. He hid in the shade of the tree in black clothes and black pants. Behind him was a tree full of white magnolias. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether the man set off the tree or the tree set off the man. All the same, it was a beautiful landscape painting.

Yu Ci leaned against the door frame and looked at it for a while.

"Ci boy, what are you doing standing here?"

It was not until he heard Uncle Yu's questioning voice from behind that he stood up and said, "It's okay."

Yu Ci walked along the bamboo floor towards the bamboo chair: "Shi Jin."

Shi Jin raised his head, and looked at him with his light amber eyes. He seemed to pause for a moment before he said, "Hmm?"

"Are you done with the tour?" Yu Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's time to go back."

Shi Jin stood up from the chair and nodded: "Go back."

Yu Ci stood at the door waiting for him.

Yu You said he wanted to drink some more wine and asked them to go first, so Yu Ci ignored him.

The white flowers above my head were blown away by the wind, with a few petals falling here and there.

Yu Ci casually brushed away the petals that fell on his shoulders and watched Shi Jin walking in from outside.

Shi Jin walked very slowly, each step was in the same place, as if he was making a mold of something.

When he stepped over the threshold, he paused, raised his foot, and looked straight ahead naturally. However, he did not raise his foot high enough and accidentally tripped over the threshold.

Yu Ci quickly grabbed him and prevented Shi Jin from falling to the ground.

After the shock, there was a chuckle.

Shi Jin was a little embarrassed and annoyed. He pushed Yu Ci away unhappily, but he did not forget to thank him: "Thank you, I will go by myself."

Yu Ci raised an eyebrow and let go of his wrist: "Can you leave?"

Shi Jin frowned: "I can."

As he said this, he raised his foot and stepped forward to go downstairs, but he almost missed the first step.

This time, Yu Ci discovered something was wrong.

He lowered his head slightly, staring at Shi Jin's face carefully, observing his expression seriously, and then came to an incredible conclusion: "Are you drunk?"

"I'm not drunk." Shi Jin denied. He was still conscious and knew he had to go back to the inn: "We have to go back to the inn."

Drunk people always say they are not drunk.

Yu Ci followed suit and asked in a different way: "Have you been drinking?"

Shi Jin seemed to hesitate for a few seconds, then nodded gently: "Uncle Yu asked me to drink it."

Yu Ci raised his eyebrows: "How much did you drink?"

"One bite." Shi Jin answered quickly this time. He pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Yu said that it is his treasure and I can only have one bite."

Yu Ci: “…”

He asked tentatively, "Is the wine in the cabinet behind the cauldron?"

Shi Jin felt a little dizzy, but Yu Ci kept asking questions.

He turned his head away in annoyance and refused to answer any more questions asked by Ren Yuci.

Yu Ci: “…”

Okay, little ancestor.

He sighed silently and stretched out his hand to Shi Jin: "Come on, hold my hand, be careful not to fall."

Shi Jin glanced at him, pursed her lips, and went down the stairs by herself.

Yu Ci had no choice but to follow beside him and carefully protect him to prevent the drunkard from missing a step and falling down the stairs.

But fortunately, although I stumbled twice, I still landed safely on flat ground.

When Shi Jin finally came down to the first floor, Yu Ci felt himself breaking out in a cold sweat.

He stood on the side of the road, exhaled, and put his hand on Shi Jin's shoulder.

I had been planning to visit the school again, but now it seems I don’t need to.

Shi Jin didn't feel that he was drunk. He was conscious and clear-headed, and his vision was extremely clear. However, after he went downstairs and took a few steps, the scene in front of him shook violently, as if there was a dance machine in his eyes.

He stopped and shook his head, trying to clear the chaotic images in his mind.

Yu Ci laughed: "Shi Jin."

Shi Jin frowned: "You are annoying, don't talk to me."

Yu Ci was choked, feeling helpless and a little amused.

He reached out and supported Shi Jin's body, placing his somewhat erratic weight on himself: "Okay, I won't say anything, don't move, I'll take you back."

His dizzy body had something to lean on, and Shi Jin's vision finally wandered away.

He became quiet, his dark eyelashes drooped, and he looked unusually well-behaved.

Yu Ci breathed a sigh of relief and helped the man walk towards the inn.

After walking a few steps, the person in his arms suddenly said, "Yu Ci."

Yu Ci replied: "I'm here."

Shi Jin: "Where's your car?"

Yu Ci didn't follow his train of thought: "What car?"

Shi Jin raised his eyes, and his light-colored pupils clearly wrote the five characters "Are you a fool?" and "A four-wheeled vehicle."

Yu Ci: “…”

But after this episode, he managed to keep up with his thoughts: "The inn is not far away, I didn't drive."

Shi Jin lowered his head: "Oh."

Yu Ci was afraid that he would ask some weird questions again, but fortunately, Shi Jin didn't speak again until he brought the person back to the inn.

When we arrived at the inn, Aqiu was bringing out dishes from the kitchen.

Seeing their scene, he was startled and quickly put down the food and came over: "What's going on?"

"It's okay." Yu Ci helped the person in his arms into the living room: "I drank some wine in the winery and got drunk."

Ah Qiu helped to bring out a hot towel: "How much did you drink to be like this?"

A smile flashed across Yu Ci’s eyes: “One bite.”

Ah Qiu paused as she was about to wipe Shi Jin's face with a towel. She looked up at Yu Ci hesitantly and said, "You just drank one sip?"

"Well, just one sip." Yu Ci curled his lips, and the smile in his peach blossom eyes was completely shrouded: "It's just a sip of Uncle Yu's treasured Qionghua wine."

This... no wonder.

Ah Qiu used a hot towel to wipe Shi Jin's face, who had his eyes closed: "Carry him up and let him sleep for a while."

Shi Jin heard the word sleep vaguely. He frowned and avoided the towel rubbing against his face, saying, "I don't want to sleep."

Ah Qiu was at a loss holding the towel: "This..."

"It's okay." Yu Ci took the towel: "Let me do it."

Aqiu then walked into the kitchen, looking back every few steps.

Shi Jin shook his head and felt much more awake: "I want to drink some water."

Yu Ci looked at him and said, "Can you sit still by yourself?"

Shi Jin nodded: "I can."

Yu Ci tentatively let go of his hand, and seeing that he was indeed sitting steadily, he stepped back: "Don't walk around, I'll go get some water, and I'll take you upstairs after you finish drinking."

Shi Jin snorted faintly, his eyes drawn to the fish pond in the middle of the hall, and he had no time to pay attention to him.

As soon as Yu Ci left, Shi Jin stood up, walked unsteadily to the side of the fish pond, and pulled up a small stool to sit down.

There were several brightly colored goldfish in the big fish pond, swimming leisurely with their red tails. Two turtles were lying on the big rocks nearby, stretching their limbs lazily and basking in the sun coming in from the window.

Shi Jin moved the stool a little and stared at the goldfish in the water.

"Aqiu? Is Qiu here?"

A young man in ethnic costume walked in. He had a long face and big eyes. He was holding a bamboo basket in his hand. When he saw Shi Jin in the middle of the living room, he was stunned for a moment, then said to Aqiu who came out of the kitchen, "Aqiu, you have guests."

A Qiu greeted him with a smile: "Brother Cheng, why are you here?"

Ah Cheng's tanned face suddenly turned red. He raised the bamboo cage in his hand and said, "I found a rabbit in the cage this morning. I thought you might like it, so I brought it to you."

Aqiu didn't want to take it for free and insisted on paying, but Acheng naturally refused.

After arguing for a while, Ah Cheng suddenly put down the cage and ran away, leaving Ah Qiu and the bamboo cage staring at each other in bewilderment.

She looked at the bamboo basket for a while, then frowned in distress: "I have to find a chance to send something back to Brother Cheng..."

The rabbit in the bamboo cage jumped and tried to get out.

Just as Qiu was about to carry the bamboo basket into the kitchen, he felt someone squatting beside him.

She turned her head and saw Shi Jin's focused profile: "What is this?"

The bamboo cage was tightly woven, and it was impossible to see what was inside without opening it. Ah Qiu smiled and lifted the lid of the bamboo cage a little so that Shi Jin could see inside better: "The rabbit is white."

Shi Jin moved closer, staring intently at the rabbit's snow-white fur, and moved his fingertips.

Qiu saw that he liked it, so she smiled and said, "Brother Shi Jin, do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Shi Jin gently grasped the corner of her clothes with her fingers, a little hesitant: "Is it suitable?"

Although he didn't hear the whole story, he knew that the bamboo cage was given to Qiu by the man just now, and Qiu then gave it to him...

"There's nothing inappropriate about it." Aqiu smiled: "We don't keep pets in our village. Brother Cheng gave us this rabbit to eat. If you don't want it, I'll have to kill it later."

"If you feel embarrassed, please help me accompany grandma after lunch. I have to go out to the village to buy some meat this afternoon, and grandma will be bored alone."

Shi Jin shook his dizzy head and said, "I can do it."

Seeing that his eyes were fixed on the rabbit in the bamboo cage without blinking, Qiu smiled and handed the bamboo cage to him: "Here, it belongs to you now."

Shi Jin carefully took the bamboo cage, a hint of joy flashing across his eyes.

He stopped looking at the fish, put the bamboo cage on the table, and stared at the rabbit intently.

When Yu Ci came back with the water, the young man in front of the table was half lying on the table. His vision was a little blurry, but he was still staring at the bamboo cage intently.

He raised his eyebrows, walked forward, and found a snow-white rabbit in the bamboo cage.

Yu Ci's eyes met with A Qiu in the kitchen and he instantly understood the origin of the rabbit.

He placed the cup in front of Shi Jin: "The water you asked for."

Shi Jin stood up and didn't want to drink water anymore. He thought for a while with his eyelids drooping: "I want to sleep."

Yu Ci's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly reached out to help him: "Okay, go upstairs and sleep."

Shi Jin pursed her lips, and thought for a while with her dizzy brain. She did not forget to make a request when she stretched out her hand: "Wake me up later."

Yu Ci used some strength to hold the person in his arms. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "What are you getting up for?"

The man's breath sprayed on her earlobe, causing it to itch.

Shi Jin covered his ears with his hands and said dazedly: "I want to chat with Aunt Chen."

"Can you get up?"

"......"
