    Chapter 153 Butterfly Transformation

    Shan Nan thought that Zhai Qingyu should be talking about himself. After all, there seemed to be no bigger butterfly than that day except Zhai Qingyu.

    But Zhai Qingyu didn't seem to need Shang Nan to give him an answer. Before Shang Nan could say anything, he patted Shang Nan on the back and said, "Get up." His breath became depressed and gloomy again, and his gentleness was blown away by the window.The rain got soaking wet.

    He allowed Shan Nan to stand up, and bent his fingers to straighten the wrinkled hem of Shan Nan's clothes, "Then from now on, you and I are lovers. If Xiao Ming confesses to you, and you don't know how to deal with it, you canGive it to me." His tone was indifferent. After he finished speaking, he looked up at Shang Nan with a helpless smile, and his eyes showed a little lack of confidence.

    "I will deal with the relationship with Qing Ming." Shang Nan was hit by the thunder and rain outside, which made his head more and more dizzy. He pointed in the direction of upstairs, "I'm going to bed first."

    Zhai Qingyu leaned back in his chair and said, "Good night."

    Shang Nan took two steps back, thought for a while, then stepped forward again, bent down and kissed the corner of Zhai Qingyu's mouth. Zhai Qingyu's eyelids trembled.

    The living room fell into a long silent silence after admiring the south and returning to the room. Zhai Qingyu turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window. The leaves that had been beaten by the raindrops from the trees were all piled up in the yard. On top of the green and yellow fallen leaves, aAnother butterfly fell down from nowhere. Its wet wings flapped hard for a few times in the rain, then stopped struggling and followed where the water washed it.

    Young Li's gentle face gradually turned pale, water stains dripped from her forehead, and her dry and soft hair slowly collapsed, dripping wetly on her forehead. More and more rainwater flowed from all parts of the wheelchair.

    Countless butterflies outside the courtyard had already been killed and injured, and Zhai Qingyu was not sure how many had died this time. He could only see clearly the lifeless blue color of the courtyard through the flash of light when lightning passed by.

    His despair started when he was tempted, and his despair reached its peak at this moment. He didn't even have the ability to walk towards the other party.

    Zhai Qingyu sighed, the blue in his eyes faded, and his palms slowly moved from the armrest of the wheelchair to his knees. He exerted force with his other palm and bent his elbows. Without the assistance of his legs, he only relied on his hands to support the weight of his body..

    The young man's arms were trembling, and his legs were useless. Zhai Qingyu's upper body was stretched out, and they were still stepping on the pedals.

    The rain gradually gave way to sweat, and Zhai Qingyu fell into a wheelchair as if he lost all strength.

    Li Qidong, who was called by Zhang's mother, was shocked when he saw this scene. He strode to Zhai Qingyu's side and said, "Mr. Zhai, just call me whatever you want. What if you get hurt like this?"

    After Li Qidong finished speaking, he discovered that the ground was covered with water. He continued to be shocked, "God, why is there so much water?!"

    Zhai Qingyu: "Maybe it's a water leak."

    Zhai Qingming called again. This time he called Zhai Qingyu. Because it was still early, he knew that his brother must be reading in bed at the moment, so he dared to call directly.

    "Brother, do me a favor!" Zhai Qingming said in a humble and anxious tone.

    "What are you busy with?" Zhai Qingyu is not reading, he is not even in bed. He is sitting in a wheelchair under the cold white lighting of the bathroom, with his broken and soft wings hanging on his back. There is a whole row of tools in front of him.If there are butterfly specimens that need to be repaired, he does it himself. He has never tried to repair himself.

    Zhai Qingming kept talking to himself, "Brother, don't I like to admire the south? I want to take advantage of this summer vacation with the right time and right place to express my love... But I don't know if he will agree. I only know that he likes boys. I thinkLet’s talk to you about how I should confess my feelings so that Shannan will agree to be with me.”

    "It's not like you don't know. In the past, people have only confessed their love to me. I have no experience in doing this kind of thing. Do you think I should prepare some roses, candles, etc., as well as gifts! I need to give gifts when I confess my love...…”

    He was talking entirely to himself.He didn't care whether Zhai Qingyu was listening or not. He had no way to discuss this matter with Wei Jie. Wei Jie was a young man who admired the south and was much closer to him than he was. He was almost suffocated and had no choice but to go to his brother., his brother talks little and doesn't talk to him, so he is the most suitable person to listen to.

    Putting the phone aside, Zhai Qingyu used scissors to cut off a piece of the wing of a living blue butterfly. The butterfly struggled violently in his hands, and blue and black powder fluttered on Zhai Qingyu's pants.

    Butterflies that have completed their mission are thrown into the specimen box to be selected. Even a butterfly with incomplete wings can become a specimen with a incomplete and beautiful attitude.

    The small piece of wing that had just been cut off was still alive. Zhai Qingyu picked it up with tweezers and carefully glued it to the notch of the tail wing.

    It takes time for the tissue to grow back, and this small piece is not enough. The missing part is too big.

    Take your time, Zhai Qingyu put down the tweezers, and the native tissues eagerly engulfed the new ones. A dense pain came from the tail wings, gradually spreading along the shoulder blades to the entire back, as ifThey were crushed hard by the wheels one after another.

    "Brother? Are you listening to me? You can help me to make some insinuations tomorrow. Just ask Shannan," Zhai Qingming thought for a while, "Well... just ask him about his criteria for choosing a mate, and ask Zhai Qingming if he can do that..”

    Not hearing what Zhai Qingyu said, Zhai Qingming continued to beg, "Brother, please help me. I have never liked someone so much."

    "Okay." Zhai Qingyu's voice was low, and no emotion could be heard.

    Zhai Qingming has been pampered since he was a child. He is the youngest son of the family, his parents love him, and his elder brother responds to his requests. He does not know what it means to endure hardship. Whatever he wants, there will always be someone to give it to him.

    "Xiao Ming," Zhai Qingyu called to the other party, and Zhai Qingming raised his voice, "What if you are rejected?"

    "Ying...should not be rejected." Zhai Qingming said uncertainly.

    "By the way, brother, dad called me two days ago and said that he met you at the flower show. You also said that you were going to study and see a doctor abroad. He asked me to advise you, stop running around and just be honest.Stay in Qingqing Mountain to recuperate." Zhai Qingming said in a brisk tone, "Didn't you see so many doctors before but didn't see me? Brother, you said you didn't want to see me anymore, so why have you changed your mind now?"

    "Xiao Ming, do you hope my legs will get better?" Zhai Qingyu washed his hands under the faucet, the cold water soaked through the palms and backs of his hands, his tone was indifferent.

    Zhai Qingming said immediately: "Of course I hope your leg will get better, but the doctor has said it won't be better. You are still suffering for doing useless work. I don't feel sorry for you."

    The sound of water stopped suddenly, and Zhai Qingyu took a dry towel to wipe his hands, "If I stand up again, the things in your hands will be handed over to me again..."

    "Brother, what are you talking about? I didn't want those things in the first place. Those things were originally yours. I don't want to be an heir at all. I just want everyone in our family to be well." Zhai Qingming spoke quicklyAnd urgent.

    Zhai Qingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will help you ask Shannan what he thinks of you. Get some rest early."

    The phone was hung up, but Zhai Qingming held the phone for a long time and couldn't regain consciousness. He was in a mess, but it wasn't because of Shannan. Why did his brother suddenly ask himself whether he hoped he would get better? He... of course he wanted his brother to get better.Good health, he really hopes his brother is healthy.

    At the same time, a voice sounded in his ears: "Zhai Qingyu is so outstanding. If he could stand up, would the Zhai family still have a place for you? Don't forget, if nothing happened to him, others might not know about the Zhai family.There is also Zhai Qingming."

    Zhai Qingming gasped in fright. This was his own voice, but it had an indifferent tone that he had never heard before.

    He had never thought of it that way, he swore...

    It rained all night in Qingqi Mountain. In the early morning, white clouds and mist wrapped around the mountainside, making the sky and the earth look wet.

    It was a little cold. Shang Nan wore a sweater that Zhang's mother had found. It was a thick white sweater. After seeing Shang Nan put on the sweater, Zhang's mother said thoughtfully: "Xiaoyu still had the foresight. He said you must not have worn a thick sweater."The clothes you ordered, let me get you one of his clothes, no, it’s quite suitable, but the sleeves are a bit too long, just roll them up.”

    "Are these Qingyu brother's clothes?" Shan Nan was startled. He was originally curious because Zhai Qingming didn't have clothes for the four seasons here. The three of them only brought summer clothes.

    Zhang Ma opened the curtains in the room and opened the floor-to-ceiling windows, "Who else could it be if it wasn't Xiaoyu? If Xiaoyu hadn't been willing to give you his own clothes to wear, I would have had to send someone down the mountain to buy some."

    Shannan put his sleeve in front of his nose and sniffed. There was a very light woody fragrance.

    Zhang Ma thought that Shang Nan was disgusted, "Oh my, it's clean."

    "I don't dislike it." Shannan said in a low voice.

    The sweater was worn close to the body and fit softly to the body surface. Soon, Shannan felt warm, dry and warm, and it even made Shannan's face feel warm.

    After washing up, Shannan went downstairs to have breakfast. Li Qidong said "good morning" to Shannan in high spirits, pointed at the dining table and said, "Today's breakfast is fried pancakes. I've already eaten one. It's great." He raised his eyebrows.thumb.

    "The clothes look good," he added, "but they seem too big."

    Shangnan rolled up his sleeves again, pulled out a chair and sat down, "These are Brother Qingyu's clothes. I only have summer short-sleeved clothes."

    After he answered Li Qidong, he looked at Zhai Qingyu unnaturally, "Morning."

    Zhai Qingyu's face looked a little bad, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fried dough for Shannan, and adjusted the dipping saucer, "It's very hot, eat slowly."

    It looked pretty much the same as usual, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.

    The rain outside has stopped long ago, but the rain all night last night didn't seem like it was just being soaked in the mountains. Zhai Qingyu also seemed to be soaked. He had no edge at all, and there was a hint of coolness in his gentleness.Weak, like a butterfly with wet wings.

    During the meal, only Li Qidong kept talking. From his eldest brother to his second brother, and then to his sister, it can be seen that he loves his family very much.

    "So many dead butterflies!!" The first aunt who walked into the yard shouted in surprise. When she was surprised, the other aunts also put down their work and ran out to have a look. As soon as they saw it, they started talking to the first aunt.Got the same exclamation.

    "Isn't this the species that Xiaoyu likes to collect the most?"

    "I remembered it when you said it. It seems to be true. Isn't it very rare? How come so many of them flew in overnight?"

    "They are all dead, no one alive."

    The fallen leaves and dead butterflies in the yard had to be swept away. The tip of Shannan's tongue was burned by the raw food, and tears immediately came out, but he still insisted on eating the last bite. "I'll go out and take a look." He alsoI was curious as to how many butterflies there were in the yard, which surprised the aunts so much.

    [14: There are many. After you were together last night, many butterflies died one after another. I hope that such a large-scale butterfly suicide phenomenon will not happen again. After all, these are all caused by Zhai Qingyu. Zhai Qingyu’s breath is much weaker today..]

    [14: Being with you makes it feel desperate and sad. Due to the limitations of its legs, it cannot become a normal couple with you.Its previous despair came from being killed by the person it trusted most. Compared with the emotional betrayal, it may not have taken the leg disease seriously.]

    [14: It may not realize until it falls in love with you that, ah, it turns out that it had such a big problem with you before, and it is afraid that you will dislike it and abandon it.]

    Shang Nan shivered because of the wind outside the house, "How do you know so much?"

    [14: Because of the symbiotic relationship, I can tell by touching it.]

    Standing at the door, I had a panoramic view of the yard. The yard was full of dead blue butterflies, their wings covered with rain and mud and fallen leaves covering them behind.

    The blue color on their bodies has become very gray. After losing their vitality, they look no different from ordinary butterflies. Such a large number can make people feel scared and timid.

    If the same kind of creatures gather in large numbers, a more superstitious person will think that they are warning something.

    Shan Nan only felt sad. Zhai Qingyu was still having breakfast in the restaurant, but the butterflies in the yard were all Zhai Qingyu who died last night.

    Zhai Qingyu was not unconscious. So many butterflies were separated from his body, and then fell one by one, and were swept away by the rain like garbage. The more butterflies that died, the weaker Zhai Qingyu would be.

    Shang Nan was always calm, but he was a little panicked at this time. He couldn't help because of his leg disease. 14 said that Zhai Qingyu had to let go of himself, perhaps by clearing the blackening value, so that he could be like a normal person.

    But if this continues, Zhai Qingyu may die of weakness before his blackening value is cleared.

    Zhai Qingming came back. When he and Wei Jie drove to the yard, the fallen leaves and butterflies in the yard had been cleaned up, and the sunlight also fell dimly.

    He and Wei Jie got out of the car and ran into the house, carrying large and small bags, screaming all the way.

    Shang Nan was playing Go with Zhai Qingyu. He was startled by Zhai Qingming and looked at each other, feeling strangely guilty.

    "Brother, I bought you a gift, a massage chair. The clerk said it is the essence of the sun and the moon in Yun City..." He put an oversized box on the ground and introduced it in detail.

    At first glance, you’ve been deceived.

    Zhai Qingyu listened with interest, "Thank you."

    Zhai Qingming went to visit Shannan again. The gift he brought to Shannan was not carefully wrapped, but he took it out of his trouser pocket. He opened his clenched fists in front of Shannan, "Bracelet! Wei Jie and I both bought it.", I bought one for you by the way."

    Shannan glanced at Zhai Qingyu, who was also looking at him. He carefully picked up the bracelet from Zhai Qingming's hand. It was a very common style and strung with two pearls. The pearls were equal in size and soft in texture.

    "Wei Jie originally wanted to buy one with pearls, but it happened to be out of stock, so he bought a gold Pixiu," Zhai Qingming explained very anxiously when he saw Shonan looking at it. He also glanced at Zhai Qingyu from time to time, with words written all over his face."Help me, help me." Unfortunately, his brother seemed unable to understand his plea for help. Zhai Qingming had to rely on himself. He said loudly: "But the meaning is the same."

    Wei Jie took it off with all his might, "Shang Nan, if you don't like pearls, give me the pearl one, and you can wear my gold Pixiu."

    "!" Zhai Qingming wanted to knock Wei Jie out with a punch. He stood up in a panic, "You can't change this casually. It's unlucky. I bought it all just for good intentions."

    "Let me put it on for you." Zhai Qingming took two steps forward.

    Shang Nan quickly retracted his hand and put the bracelet on the side of the table. "I'll wash my hands later and put it on again."

    Zhai Qingming looked happy, "Okay, as long as you like it, I bought something else, you..."

    "Qingming," Shannan interrupted, "Don't give me so many things. I can't afford to pay them back. I didn't buy you anything, and I've been bothering you a lot by living and dining at your house during this period."." He is unwilling to hurt Zhai Qingming, but even if there is no mission, he will not like Zhai Qingming. This is the wonderful thing about the heartbeat. He will be moved by a bad monster, but he will not have any feelings for the sunny and cheerful human being..

    "What are you talking about? We are brothers," Zhai Qingming panicked for a few seconds, then immediately waved his hand, turned and walked towards the kitchen, "I'm starving to death, I'm going to find something to eat, Mother Zhang!"

    When Wei Jie heard that Zhai Qingming was going to eat, he immediately got up from the carpet, "I want to eat too, I want to eat too!"

    The space immediately became quiet, and after admiring the south, I realized that my back was soaked with cold sweat.

    If he can't handle his relationship with Zhai Qingming well, then Zhai Qingyu will not let him go, nor will he let him go.

    "Well..." Shang Nan cleared his throat and looked at Zhai Qingyu, who was sitting opposite him. Zhai Qingyu held his chin, smiled to himself, and raised his arm in his direction. Shang Nan thought that Zhai Qingyu was going to continue.In this game of chess, I reached out and grabbed a few chess pieces, "Keep playing..."

    But then, Shang Nan discovered that there were no chess pieces between Zhai Qingyu's fingers, and his target was not the chessboard, but the bracelet gifted by Zhai Qingming in his hand.

    Zhai Qingyu took the bracelet away.

    "I'll help you return it to Xiao Ming later." Zhai Qingyu held the bracelet in his hand and looked at it for a while. He looked up and saw Shannan hesitated to speak. He paused and said in a slightly raised tone, "Do you like it?"

    Shang Nan's head flicked out. If he nodded, he would probably see dead butterflies all over the yard tomorrow morning.

    Zhai Qingyu's cold white fingertips passed over the two pearls, "Xiao Ming is too stingy." There was no apology for Zhai Qingming in his tone, it was all gentle teasing and vague malice.

    But all these negative emotions disappeared when he looked at Shan Nan. He covered the bracelet with his palm and smiled gently and indulgently, "If you like it, I will give you a more beautiful one."
