Chapter 152 Butterfly Transformation
byChapter 152 Butterfly Transformation
Breaking the cocoon price: 0.01.
Its owner was a cute girl who was slightly fat but had a crooked smile. She was wearing a neat white suit. The assistant called her to the work. She looked at Shan Nan and then at Zhai Qingyu, "Okay.Ask, who wants to buy it?"
Shan Nan pointed at himself and said, "I'll buy it."
The girl smiled and said, "Sorry, I won't sell it."
"...Why?" Shannan asked. He had rarely encountered exhibits with such low price tags along the way. Since he didn't care about its selling price, the owner must have high requirements for the buyer in other aspects, "Is that still the case?"Do you have any other requirements?"
"No, I just don't want to sell it to you." The girl clasped her hands in front of her, her attitude was very good, but what she said was a decisive refusal.
This was difficult. Shoonan stopped the girl who was about to leave, "What do you need me to do before you are willing to sell me the broken cocoon?"
The girl came to her senses. She took out a business card from her pocket and handed it to Shan Nan, "My nickname is Bai Cha. You can call me Miss Bai. Don't call me Miss Cha. I don't like the title Miss Cha."
"Excuse me, why do you want to buy this potted flower... It just looks beautiful. In fact, it is a very difficult person to take care of. It has very special requirements for temperature, humidity, soil and water quality. It is always covered with bugs. Due to genetic reasons,It cannot grow as tall as other camellias. Even in the past twenty years, it will only remain as it is now. Apart from the beautiful flowers it blooms, it has almost no other advantages, so why?"
"If you can't convince me with your reasons, I won't sell it to you." Bai Cha smiled sweetly.
The owners of all the exhibits here are well-known figures in the flower circle. They can devote more energy to flowers than to their own children. They are more difficult to raise than cats and dogs.
"I like its name, and I want to give it to my...friend." Shannan licked his lips. He knew that Zhai Qingyu must be listening, so he had to say it carefully, "I hope he will be the same in his future life."If you can break out of the cocoon, even if the living environment is harsh."
Bai Cha: "Is the friend you talk about the gentleman next to you?"
Shang Nan nodded generously.
Bai Cha's eyes fell on Zhai Qingyu's wheelchair and his feet on the pedals. She smiled sweeter than before, "How to pay?"
Finally letting go, Shan Nan breathed a sigh of relief. Overjoyed, he took out his mobile phone and paid.
Bai Cha took out another contract and said, "Have a look. If you have no problem, please sign in the lower right corner. Please also write down your address. Someone will deliver flowers to your door tomorrow, and there will also be a maintenance guide for broken cocoons.,Please read carefully."
Shang Nanfu browsed the contract on the desktop, while Bai Cha stood opposite, "Broken cocoon is a species that I cultivated for seven years. This is the only one of the two pots that survived. The other pot has been given away by me as a planting tree.It will die easily after entering the breeding base, so please take good care of it."
After Shannan finished signing, "I will definitely take good care of it."
Broken Cocoon has been moved from the booth by Baicha's assistant. During the move, its branches, leaves and petals were trembling slightly. As Bai Cha said, Broken Cocoon is extremely fragile just by looking at it.
Holding the brochure of camellia varieties presented by Baicha, Shannan walked happily beside Zhai Qingyu, "I bought it!"
Zhai Qingyu looked at the joy on Shan Nan's face and said, "After you give it to me, I will be responsible for raising it?"
Shang Nan had an expression on his face: "Otherwise, should I still raise him?"
"Before you return to the capital, I'll leave it to you. It's not convenient for me." Zhai Qingyu said.
Shang Nan caught up with Zhai Qingyu, "There are so many aunties at home..."
"Aunties don't know much about this."
"There's also a gardener."
"I don't want anyone else to touch it."
"Eh?"
Li Qidong also bought a pot of flowers. It was a single-petal white rose. At first glance, it looked like an oil-painted peony, but the diameter of the flower was much smaller than that of the oil-painted peony. It looked very delicate and cute.
"Did you also buy it?" Li Qidong saw the booklet in Zhai Qingyu's hand, "Camellia? Camellia you bought? There are camellias everywhere on Qingqi Mountain, why buy camellias?"
Shang Nan: "It is a very rare species."
Li Qidong: "That must be very expensive!"
"Only a penny."
"So cheap? Are rare varieties so cheap? What's the difference between this and giving it away for free? My pot is not particularly rare, it costs more than 800 yuan." Li Qidong carefully held the pot of flowers, "Then what you boughtWhat about flowers?"
Shannan took a sip of water and said, "They said it would be delivered to your door tomorrow."
"What? Delivered to your door for just one penny!" Li Qidong's honest face was full of confusion.
A well-dressed couple stood arm in arm in the Lily exhibition area. The woman wore a white lace top and a black umbrella-shaped skirt. From time to time, she would lean into her husband's ear and talk. The man wore a tailored and low-key suit, and his temperament was also very good.
Looking at the man's profile, Shannan was a little confused. Why did he look a little like Zhai Qingyu?
Until the woman unexpectedly turned her head and saw Shang Nan and Zhai Qingyu sitting in a wheelchair.
The first look that Shannan saw on the other person's face was panic and fear, then shock and surprise, and then guilt and bewilderment. The emotions were too complicated and changeable, and the man was the same as her.
So Shang Nan concluded at a glance that these were Zhai Qingyu's parents.
Zhai Qingyu slowly walked to Zhai's mother in a wheelchair. "Mom, are you here too?" He greeted with a smile.
"Oh," Zhai's mother put down her hand holding her husband's arm, walked closer to Zhai Qingyu, and said in a tone that was not reproachful, "you didn't tell us when you came, we can go shopping together, youIt’s been so long since I’ve been out for a walk, I’m really afraid that you’ll stifle yourself.”
After she finished speaking, without waiting for Zhai Qingyu to say anything, she accurately identified Shannan, "Oh, this is Xiao Ming's classmate. He is really handsome. It's rare for boys to be so handsome. Husband, youSay yes?"
Father Zhai nodded in agreement.
Not sure if it was his own misunderstanding, Shannan felt that the tone of conversation between Zhai's mother and Zhai Qingyu was a bit nervous and unnatural, and she felt a little overwhelmed. When she spoke to herself, those emotions disappeared, and even appeared again.I think it’s because of Zhai Qingming that I became kind and enthusiastic.
It's because after what happened, under the torture of various emotions, the only person left who could really give them pure fatherly and motherly love was Zhai Qingming.
Shang Nan glanced down at Zhai Qingyu from the corner of his eye. There was nothing unusual about Zhai Qingyu's face, except that he had physical defects and his complexion looked a little worse than that of a healthy person.
"It's just because I stayed in Qingqing Mountain for too long that I wanted to go out for a walk." Zhai Qingyu replied politely, his eyes scanning the faces of the two people in front of him, "This exhibition was pretty good., have you two met anyone you like?"
"Your dad bought a few pots of small pine trees. I don't see what's good about it. I'm just pretending to be knowledgeable. Your dad has been raising orchids for so many years. How often has he raised pine trees..."
Deliberately not thinking about the past, Zhai's mother's tone and demeanor gradually became more natural. Only Zhai's father stood beside him with a calm expression and said nothing.
After a while, he said: "Since it is inconvenient to travel, just stay at home. You have to bring a wheelchair with you wherever you go. It will only cause trouble for others. You, the caregiver, earn your salary too hard." His tone was evenIrony slowly emerged.
Zhai's mother looked at Zhai's father in disbelief, "What are you talking about? Qingyu lives in that mountain every day, and the humidity is so heavy. How can he cause trouble if he comes out to walk around? Isn't the salary we give enough for the caregivers?"Are you trying your best to take care of Qingyu? Why are you such a mischievous father?"
"It's other people's business if they don't find it troublesome. You have to be self-aware. If everyone thinks the same way as you do, then what kind of morality will there be?" Father Zhai's voice was low but very sonorous.
Shannan just wanted to applaud these two people. Is this an impromptu performance?
Li Qidong's face turned red with embarrassment. He hurriedly opened his mouth to reconcile the two of them, "No trouble, no trouble, I don't think it's troublesome. I'm in this business, so I don't think it's troublesome." He really didn't think it was troublesome, "I used toHaving taken care of Alzheimer's patients and mental patients, and having their hair pulled and beaten every day, Mr. Zhai is already the best employer I have ever encountered."
Shang Nan turned his head and looked away. He was really embarrassed for these two middle-aged people, and he felt even more sorry for Zhai Qingyu - Zhai Qingyu, who knew the whole story, how did he feel when he watched his parents perform in front of him?
"If I'm in the mood in the future, I might go somewhere else," Zhai Qingyu's wrists extending from his sleeves were pale, but slender and strong, and his voice was light, "Yuncheng is a little tired of staying here."
Zhai's mother and Zhai's father immediately stopped arguing.
"What? Where are you going?"
"Let's talk about it later," Zhai Qingyu said. He smiled, his eyebrows relaxed and relaxed, "Mom, didn't you tell me to go out more often?"
"I, I...I am..." Zhai's mother stuttered, "I..."
Zhai Qingyu did not give her time to explain or cover up, and continued: "When Xiao Ming came back this time, I suddenly wanted to experience college life. My grades were very good before, so it shouldn't be difficult to get into a good university... maybe, I’m in a good mood, can I stand up?”
Zhai's mother opened her mouth wide, and Zhai's father also had a livid look on his face. The two of them looked like they were petrified, unable to make a single sound.
After a long time, Mother Zhai said in a trembling voice: "Qingyu, you... how did you think of getting into college? You also... have to go to other cities. Didn't you say that besides Qing... Qing...Qishan, are you not going anywhere anymore?" Her body seemed to have been hit hard by something, and she looked shaky.
The same goes for Zhai's father, who was standing next to Zhai's mother. The muscles on their faces were tense and turned into lumps, as if something was about to push out from under their faces.
"That was my previous thought. Now..." Zhai Qingyu's smile was as clear as the wind in the forest, especially considering the pain of the man and woman opposite him, "I think I may still have a chance to have a new life."
There was no trace of hatred or resentment towards his parents on his face.
Zhai's father's palms were clenched tightly at his sides. Fear and anger surged through his chest. Just before he was about to turn into a scolding of Zhai Qingyu, Shang Nan suddenly made a sound that made Zhai's father unable to utter a single word.
Shannan: "Enter college? Brother Qingyu? Are you going to college too? Come to my school. Qingming happens to be there too. How interesting. The doctors in the capital are also very powerful. Maybe one of them can cure you."As for your legs, if it doesn’t work at home, we can still go abroad. I think you..."
"What do you know?!" Zhai's father suddenly exploded, and the person he was scolding was not Zhai Qingyu, but Shannan.
Shannan was stunned for a moment by his roar.
"Dad," the smile on Zhai Qingyu's face slowly faded, and the indifferent gloom overwhelmingly pressed in the direction of Zhai's father, "His Xiao Ming's friend is just a child."
Li Qidong also felt that Mr. Zhai's father was so angry that it was inexplicable. It had been inexplicable from the beginning, and now it was... almost like the psychopath he had taken care of before.
After Zhai's father finished his roar, he realized that he had lost his composure. He looked at the people who were whispering and watching the fun, and tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Qingyu, your mother and I are doing this for your own good. The feng shui of Qingqi Mountain is conducive toYou recuperate, and if you have to go outside, then you can do it on your own." He left such ruthless words and pulled Zhai's mother away from the corridor beside him. There was no sign of pity for Zhai Qingyu at all, even though they were very much in the Zhai family.All the flowers bloom on Zhai Qingyu's flesh and blood.
Zhai Qingyu was unmoved. He turned his head and looked at Shannan, "Are you scared?"
Shannan shook his head. He was just pretending, "Brother Qingyu, are you okay?"
Zhai Qingyu suddenly smiled, "I'm fine."
Li Qidong looked at Shannan and then at Mr. Zhai. He had no idea what the two were talking about. Not only the words they spoke, but also the movements of their eyes. He couldn't understand them at all!
"Shang Nan, it's such a pity that you didn't come!" Zhai Qingming shouted on the phone, holding up his mobile phone, "It's so nice to soak in the hot springs here, you are just greedy."
It was at night when Zhai Qingming called. There was lightning and thunder outside, and it was about to rain.
It has been raining for the first time since I have been in Yuncheng for so long.
"I'm not greedy, I just want to sleep." Shang Nan held a handful of chess pieces in his hand. Opposite him sat Zhai Qingyu. He played randomly as he pleased, but Zhai Qingyu killed him to pieces.
Zhai Qingming heard the thunder and the crisp and short sound of the chess pieces falling. "Who are you playing chess with?" he asked warily.
Shang Nan glanced at Zhai Qingyu very quickly and replied: "With your brother, who else could it be?"
"Oh..." Zhai Qingming breathed a sigh of relief, soaked his whole body in the water, and blew a few bubbles. He held up his mobile phone and suddenly soaked his head in the water again. He had been holding it in for a long time.Angry, he raised his head with a loud bang, and then with the buzzing in his ears that hadn't disappeared, he shouted into his cell phone, "Shangnan, when I come back, I want to tell you something!"
Shang Nan pinched the chess pieces with his fingertips. He had his own intuition and could probably guess what Zhai Qingming was referring to. He could only vaguely say: "Let's talk about it when you come back."
After talking on the phone with Zhai Qingming for a while, Zhai Qingming talked a lot, but Shannan finally gave up after taking the initiative to say that he didn't want to talk any more.
Putting down his cell phone, Shang Nan looked at the chessboard and paused. He put down the remaining chess pieces and leaned back in his chair, "I lost again."
Zhai Qingyu was wrapped in a black pure cotton nightgown, and the belt was not tied tightly. He reached out to pick up the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one. His movements revealed a casual elegance. Every time he moved, the skirt of his clothes would open to peek inside.In the narrow gap, Shannan only looked at it once and did not dare to look at it again.
"Xiao Ming just said that he would tell you something when he comes back. What do you think it will be?" His voice mixed with the muffled thunder outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and for no reason, Shang Nan's heart began to tighten.
"Ang... I can't think of it." When Shannan first came to Yuncheng, he only thought about tasks, tasks, tasks. Even if he felt Zhai Qingming's feelings, he didn't take it to heart. But now it is obvious that he is involved in this.Among the brothers, the only one who troubled him was Zhai Qingming, and he wished that Zhai Qingyu would fall in love with him.
Zhai Qingyu glanced at Shannan, "He probably wants to confess to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shan Nan immediately made a frightened expression, "What? Confession? I don't like Qing Ming. I only regard him as a good brother and a good buddy."
Although Shang Nan's expression and tone were a bit exaggerated, Zhai Qingyu did not expose the other party, because what Shang Nan said was what he wanted to hear.
Zhai Qingyu was arranging the chessboard with a calm look on his face, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course I rejected him," Shang Nan was really upset. Zhai Qingming was very good to him and Wei Jie. The relationship between the three of them has been very good since they were in college. "But Qingming is my friend, so I shouldn't be able toIt hurts his heart too much."
"If the refusal is delayed, it will be a kind of harm to him." Zhai Qingyu said.
"Having said that..." Shan Nan hesitated.
Zhai Qingyu didn't give him a chance to continue. He smiled softly, "Mama Zhang made a jar of wine before. Do you want to try it?"
Shang Nan nodded neatly.
The wine is made from mulberry lemons and wild mountain grapes from Qingqi Mountain. Zhang Ma said that this is her ancestral craft. It tastes sweet and fragrant, but the wine is actually stronger than some of the better liquors on the market, but it just makes it so.People still want to drink after drinking.
Auntie not only brought wine, but also ice cubes and a small piece of cake. The cake was for Shannan.
Shannan took the wine glass handed over by his aunt and took a sip. When he tasted the sweet taste, his eyes lit up, "It tastes good!"
"The taste of this wine will deteriorate a lot after being exposed to the air for a while, so it's best to drink it quickly." Zhai Qingyu said, playing with white stones and black stones alone. He has the final say on how the game goes.
Shannan didn't think Zhai Qingyu was lying, because when he took the last sip, he had already tasted a very bitter taste, so bitter that he couldn't help but frown. He quickly cut a small bite of the cake and put it into his mouth, "No wonder you asked Auntie to bring me a piece of cake."
The sweetness of the cream suppressed the bitterness on the back of the tongue. Shannan looked at the chess game that had slowly taken up half of the chessboard and asked curiously: "Brother Qingyu, you drink so slowly, aren't you afraid of the bitterness?"
"I prefer the bitter taste."
"That's it, then I don't like it." Shang Nan shoveled two shovels of ice cubes in the ice bucket, hugged the wine bottle on the table and poured himself another glass, because he couldn't taste too much alcohol when he drank it.He was afraid that it would be too bitter if kept for a long time, so he drank it all in one gulp and said, "It tastes good." It's like juice.
After drinking the second glass of wine, the strength of the first glass of wine increased, and Shannan's body began to lose control. However, his consciousness and mind were clear, but his body was out of control.
He sat blankly on the sofa, staring at Zhai Qingyu as he placed the chess pieces one by one, black, white, then black, and then white again. Soon he would no longer be able to place the chess pieces, "Whichever is black or white wins."Already?"
Zhai Qingyu didn't raise his eyes, "What do you think?"
"White." Shannan actually wanted to say black.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhai Qingyu dropped the last sunspot. It was clear that the sunspot had won.
Zhai Qingyu didn't look at the chess game that had ended, as if everything was within his expectation. He put his fingers on the armrests of his wheelchair and focused his gaze on Shan Nan's face that had turned pink.
"Shang Nan, if Xiao Ming confesses to you, you will refuse, right?" He held his chin, his eyebrows were clear, and his facial lines were gentle yet sharp.
"Well, I don't like Qingming."
"Then who do you like?" Zhai Qingyu asked.
Shang Nan tilted his head and frowned, as if he had a hard time understanding the question, so he couldn't give an answer, "I don't know."
There was a "bang", and the floor-to-ceiling windows shook, and then raindrops fell, and the coolness suddenly swept from the mountains.
Shang Nan seemed to be more awake. He tried to sit up straight, "I still... quite like Brother Qingyu."
"Like someone with a disability?" Zhai Qingyu lifted the thin blanket on his legs and touched his knees with his index finger, "You were drunk and started talking nonsense."
"No, no, no," Shang Nan shook his head, "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. I know you are disabled. I don't mind. As long as I can walk, it's okay. I can be your legs.".”
Listening to this almost innocent confession, Zhai Qingyu's smile spread uncontrollably, "Xiao Ming will be very sad if he knows you like me."
"Then I'll go and like Qingming." Shannan shrugged, pretending not to care.
The storm has come, and the slightly taller trees in the yard have been beaten almost to pieces. The yellow and green leaves are mixed together and flying all over the sky. The rain like a bead curtain seems to have become the outer glass cover of the house, isolating it.All human voices.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhai Qingyu moved his pale fingers and smiled at Shannan, "If you don't mind, can you sit next to me?"
There was a sofa placed next to Zhai Qingyu's wheelchair. Shannan didn't mind at all. He shook his head and walked over crookedly while holding on to the table. The sofa was moving left and right. He stared at it for a long time and figured out the pattern of its movement. He was about to get down.As he sat down, his wrist was suddenly held tightly by someone, and his body was violently pulled down.
The feeling of weightlessness made Shang Nan sober up. He fluttered his hands in the air twice, and when he realized it again, he was already sitting on Zhai Qingyu's lap.
How could he sit on Zhai Qingyu's lap when he saw Zhai Qingyu's Adam's apple, chin, and butt so close at hand?!!!
Shang Nan panicked and tried to struggle out of Zhai Qingyu's arms, "Brother Qingyu, I... I'd better sit on the sofa, your legs..."
Shang Nan's struggle was completely in vain. Zhai Qingyu held his waist with one hand and suppressed him easily.
"It's inherently bad." Zhai Qingyu laughed, "Hey, you've already sat down, and I'm unconscious."
Shangnan's collarbone suddenly hurt, and he held back from shouting. He knew that it was actually Zhai Qingyu who was in pain.
When talking face to face, Shang Nan never felt that Zhai Qingyu was very aggressive. He was really like a butterfly, gentle and elegant.
All the beautiful qualities of Qingqing Mountain are vividly expressed in the butterfly, but when he stepped into the opponent's territory, Shang Nan couldn't control his body and curled up nervously. His fingers and calves couldn't help but tremble. Zhai QingyuThe breath on his body is both gentle and cold, both gentle and extremely aggressive.
Monsters are monsters, it doesn't matter what their skin looks like, their essence is the same.
"It doesn't matter. There are so many good doctors. Maybe he can get better. Even if he doesn't, so what?" Shang Nan comforted Zhai Qingyu. Even if he didn't have a mission, he didn't mind the leg disease.
Zhai Qingyu laughed, and pressed his palm on Shang Nan's back. His fingers were slender than before, and his eyes were darker than usual.
"Have you thought about it?" Zhai Qingyu's eyes were warm and lonely, "You like me, not Xiao Ming."
"Between a healthy person and a disabled person who can't walk, choose the latter, you..." He was a few years older than Shan Nan, and he would think more about Shan Nan.
"Zhai Qingyu, I'm not doing multiple-choice questions." Although Shang Nan's face was red due to alcohol, his expression and tone were clear and calm. This was Shang Nan himself, "You are not a candidate either."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhai Qingyu kissed her, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Shan Nan opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhai Qingyu's eyes at close range. Only then did he realize that the other person's eyes were different from before. They were very dark blue. The outer circle of the pupils was black, and the insides were the same as butterfly wings.Blue, dreamy and beautiful.
It’s Zhai Qingyu, and he’s also a butterfly.
Zhai Qingyu pinched Shang Nan's chin with his thin and strong fingers and turned his head to his side. His thumb just pressed down slightly, and Shang Nan's lower lip opened. He lowered his head and began to attack the city.
The rain outside the house was violent but blurry. Shang Nan's lower back was held, and he could not fall backwards. His head was also controlled. He felt... he felt like a bird being held in Zhai Qingyu's lap and could only let it go.A doll that the other party can do whatever they want.
Zhai Qingyu's lips and tongue were gentle. He took Shang Nan's lips and gently sucked and bit them. The remaining fruity aroma of mountain grapes and mulberries was slowly licked away.
Zhai Qingyu's mind was still sober. He stopped kissing halfway. He pushed the hair from Shannan's forehead with his fingers and put his thumb against Shannan's face. He said slowly: "Shangnan, I remember you said before that you like the ones in the herbarium.Blue butterfly, then you will also like a bigger butterfly than the one I gave you?”
