Rest and Relaxation

On August 16, they went to the farmhouse resort in the morning. Duan Xu had rented out the entire place so they could have as much fun as they wanted.

After arriving, some went to pick vegetables, some picked fruit, and others got ready to fish.

Duan Xu and Shen Yanlang wore matching short-sleeved shirts and carried a small bamboo basket into the orchard to pick fruit.

August was grape season. The owner had planted a huge vineyard and even built trellises for it. The trellises were covered in grapevines, with clusters of purple grapes hanging from them, each one plump and round enough to make anyone drool.

"Wow!" Duan Xu looked up at the grape trellises and exclaimed, "There are so many grapes!"

Shen Yanlang smiled, plucked one straight away, wiped it with a tissue, and held it out before Duan Xu. "Try it."

Duan Xu did not reach out to take it. He simply lowered his head and bit into it, smacking his lips twice as his eyes lit up. "Mm! Sweet and sour. It's delicious!"

Fruit grown in season had a rich flavor, and the owner had said that aside from pesticides used for pest control, nothing else had been applied.

Shen Yanlang stared at Duan Xu's moist lips, his eyes darkening slightly. "Really? Let me taste it too."

With that, Shen Yanlang lowered his head and bit Duan Xu's lips, tasting him thoroughly before letting go. "Not bad."

Duan Xu looked up at him, blinked, and asked softly, "Do you want to do something exciting again?"

"Hm?" Shen Yanlang froze for a moment before realizing what he meant, then laughed. "Hehe..."

Duan Xu knew from his reaction that he had overthought it. His toes practically curled with embarrassment, and the tips of his ears flushed faintly
