Chapter 160 Butterfly Transformation
byChapter 160 Butterfly Transformation
Shannan finally saw Zhai Qingyu's wings. They were a pair of butterfly wings that were beyond the scope of human cognition. They were not as gorgeous as the wings in fairy tales or animations. They were the real thing, with deep blue color blocks and pure black edges., although it is a bit bigger, it does not feel awkward at all when it appears on Zhai Qingyu's back.
Its softness is combined with the graceful posture of a human in a wheelchair. The half-closed curtains only leave a few blurry lights and shadows to it. A slightly shiny blue powdery substance can even be seen on the surface of its wings, like in the dark night.The flickering phosphorus fire.
Logically speaking... Logically speaking, Shang Nan didn't even take a step back, he thought to himself. Logically speaking, a butterfly's wings cannot be wrapped inward like a bird. This is what Shang Nan thought.
As a result, when he was thinking in confusion, the butterfly's wings moved toward the middle, and the complete wings appeared in front of Shan Nan. It was a bit reluctant to say that it was like a dream, but they were all from fairy tales, or just a few glances at ordinary times..
The dark-colored butterflies, the smell of powerful wild animals rushing towards me, especially the process of gathering their wings, watching the light in front of me disappear inch by inch, and finally only the small cluster above my head remained.
The velvet texture of the wings did not make Shannan feel comfortable. The powder seemed to be inhaled into the nasal cavity along with the air, and stuck to the trachea and lungs, causing suffocation.
Shang Nan lowered his head and saw the missing part of the wing, a gap as big as a palm, like the exit of a corridor, through which the light from outside poured in.
Zhai Qingyu's legs are broken, so his wings are also incomplete?
This point suddenly made Shan Nan feel sad. Becoming a monster did not bring him any benefits. His soul and body were incomplete. No matter what species he became, he would still be incomplete.
"Aren't you going to run?" Zhai Qingyu's voice was soft, and he twisted his fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair. He seemed to be a gentle and gentle young man, but his nervousness was always revealed in every detail.
There is nothing wrong with being a human, but there is nothing good either. But the worst thing about being a monster is probably the scene like this. In front of the person you like as a human, its identity may scare the other person away. It has alreadyForgot what it felt like to be human.
Its eyes have been focused on Shang Nan's face, focused and hot. It can feel the changes in Shang Nan's body temperature, breathing frequency and depth, and the other person's heartbeat can also be heard clearly.
Shangnan's heartbeat is the countdown to Butterfly's sentencing.
Among the butterfly wings, Shang Nan shook his head twice and said, "Don't run away."
Maybe it was Shang Nan's misunderstanding. Shang Nan felt inexplicably that after he answered Zhai Qingyu, the butterfly's wings were not as tight as before and were clearly relaxed.
"Shang Nan, we haven't known each other for a long time, why are you..."
Shannan knew what Zhai Qingyu wanted to say. He raised his head. The ends of his hair were already soaked with sweat, but his eyes were bright and clear, and his tone was firm, "Does the length of time matter? Whether it is ten days or ten years, I don't think it matters.", if I didn’t like you, even if I had known you for ten years, I would still have abandoned you without hesitation just now.”
Determination to abandon and betrayal is never bound by the length of time, and neither is firm choice.
There was light in Zhai Qingyu's eyes, dark blue light, flowing wetly, and he cried.
Shang Nan straightened his upper body, put his arms on Zhai Qingyu's shoulders, and hugged Zhai Qingyu. While being hugged, the butterfly's wings actively hugged the young man back in his arms.
It's nothing, even if the wings are incomplete, the human body is incomplete, and even life is incomplete, there will always be people who abandon everything and accept the incompleteness.
Li Qidong was extremely punctual. At four o'clock sharp, he appeared at the door of Shang Nan and Zhai Qingyu's room.
They have a rehab appointment in the afternoon.
Shang Nan opened the door with a sleepy look on his face, took a look, and asked Li Qidong, "Where is Wei Jie?"
"He couldn't get up, couldn't talk about going, and now he fell asleep again." Li Qidong originally thought that college students would not sleep in, especially famous college students, but he did not expect that it would be difficult to wake up even if he screamed.
"Then let's go." Shannan opened the door and walked into the room.
Li Qidong followed him for a few steps, and his eyes suddenly fell on a certain spot on Shannan's neck. He stopped and said, "Classmate Shannan, have you been bitten by a mosquito?"
"The hotel has air conditioning, where are the mosquitoes coming from?" Shannan didn't think much about it.
"You have such a big knot on your neck." Li Qidong said.
pimple?What pimple?Shang Nan touched his neck with his palm, but couldn't find any knots.
But then I heard Li Qidong change his words and say, "It's not a pimple, it's just that one area that's very red."
Shang Nan moved for a moment, and then he remembered that Zhai Qingyu had kissed his neck. Just after he hugged Zhai Qingyu, although it was a bit heavy and painful, he never looked in the mirror after that, so he had no idea that Zhai Qingyu was on his neck.Leaves a trace.
Now he could only follow Li Qidong's guess and said, "It might be something crawling on his neck."
"Bugs! It must be bugs!" Li Qidong affirmed, "There must be bugs in the hotel."
Zhai Qingyu was sitting by the window reading a book. When he heard Shang Nan say something crawled, he raised his head. When Li Qidong said he was a bug, "..."
But Shang Nan thought that it might be okay to say it was an insect.
The rehabilitation therapist is over seventy years old and is a retired expert. He wears a pair of reading glasses, has two assistants, and several students studying with him.
After asking about the cause and time of the disability, conducting an examination, and reading the medical records, he took off his reading glasses and touched the few hairs on his head, "No, you are wrong."
Shang Nan and Li Qidong were even more nervous than Zhai Qingyu himself. They both said in unison, "What's wrong?"
The old doctor said: "Logically speaking, his leg was not crippled in the first place. It can only be said that the injury was relatively serious at the time and he could recover with the most common rehabilitation treatment. Who wrote this medical record? That's wrong. It's ordinary.How is the fracture written as disabled? Also, after the leg injury is healed, you should be able to stand up independently. Do you have any psychological... problems? "
When Shan Nan heard this, he already understood. He knew that Zhai Qingyu was not disabled, and he also knew that his parents were colluding with the doctors to deceive him. But after that, Zhai Qingyu himself did not want to stand up. As time went by, he really could no longer stand up.Standing up on my own.
Li Qidong didn't understand, so he asked, "Would it be better to do rehabilitation now?"
"This is a psychological problem, which is outside the scope of my expertise." said the old doctor.
Li Qidong was very emotional, "Mr. Zhai must have been hit too hard at that time, but doesn't this count as a medical accident?"
After coming out of the hospital, Li Qidong was worried. He felt that Mr. Zhai was probably doomed for the rest of his life. Shangnan felt fine. He was just worried about Zhai Qingyu. Zhai Qingyu was missing such a big piece of his wings, which proved that there must be something wrong with his legs. But why?The doctor said there's nothing wrong with the leg?
Zhai Qingyu smiled, raised his eyes and looked at Li Qidong, "Let Shangnan accompany me for a walk. Find a place to wait for my call."
Li Qidong was stunned. He didn't feel that he was being driven away at all. He felt that this was another big blow to Mr. Zhai. He nodded quickly and went to find a place to stay.
Outside the hospital is a very flat and vast garden. This is a famous rehabilitation hospital in Yuncheng. It only does rehabilitation, so it was built in a secluded suburb.
"Shang Nan, can you push me away?" Zhai Qingyu called back to Shang Nan who was distracted.
Shannan came to his senses and said, "Okay."
Although the weight of the wheelchair is very heavy, it has wheels, so it is not difficult to push it. Shonan pushed the wheelchair and finally couldn't help but ask: "Don't you still want to stand up now?"
He asked one question after another, "There's nothing wrong with your legs today. Why are your wings missing such a big area?"
Shang Nan's worried look successfully made Zhai Qingyu smile.
Shang Nan looked at Zhai Qingyu's smile and asked, "Why are you smiling?"
"Because I didn't want to stand up, I really couldn't stand up again, so my wings were rotten. This is normal." Zhai Qingyu explained gently.
Whether it is physically or psychologically, it is sick, it is psychologically disabled, its soul is rotten, and its wings are also rotten.
Ordinary rehabilitation techniques and medicine cannot cure it.
But Shang Nan had never seen its wings before. The gap at that time was much larger than it is now, and Zhai Qingyu has now made up a lot of it.
"Don't worry, I will get better," Zhai Qingyu raised his hand and patted the back of Shang Nan's hand, "I just need some time."
There was boundless and faint pain in Shang Nan's heart.
On the day of the funeral, the sky brought a heavy rain to Yuncheng. Shannan accompanied Zhai Qingyu and rushed to the funeral parlor early in the morning. Wei Jie and Li Qidong also followed.
Because he didn't have time to have breakfast, he only asked for a few breads at the front desk. Zhai Qingyu didn't eat these snacks, so he didn't eat anything.
Thick dark clouds covered the top of the funeral home, and heavy rain poured down from them. It was gloomy and made people feel depressed.
All the way to the floor where the funeral was held, he was led to the lounge. Zhai Qingming came from the memorial hall with red eyes.
Although Li Zhu told Zhai Qingming to have a good rest, he listened to the advice, but he couldn't get a good rest - his parents died suddenly, and he couldn't really sleep at all.
There was another thing that prevented him from taking a good rest. Why were Shang Nan and Zhai Qingyu so close?
"Breakfast is prepared nearby, brother, you can go and have some." Zhai Qingming had a white flower on his chest, and behind him was the expressionless Li Zhu, who looked very haggard.
After he finished speaking, Li Assistant urged him, "Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang are here."
"knew."
Zhai Qingming didn't have time to have a good chat with Shannan, nor did he have time to find a place to cry.
Shannan asked Wei Jie to follow him and help Zhai Qingming. Of course Wei Jie had no objection at all, but Li Qidong went to have breakfast next door, and Zhai Qingyu asked him to go.
Within two minutes, Zhai Qingming came back. He exchanged a few words with the people who came to mourn his parents and couldn't wait to come back.
Now he just wants to stay with Zhai Qingyu.
"Brother, don't you go and see them?" After reading the agreement, Zhai Qingming found it difficult to connect the person who made the agreement with his parents. He was even embarrassed to mention the two in front of Zhai Qingyu.People, no matter what, they raised Zhai Qingyu... The dead are the most important.
Zhai Qingyu wore a full black suit today. The temperature in the funeral home was very low, and his face showed a weak white color. "I'm not inconvenienced."
Shang Nan was biting bread next to him and listening to the conversation between the two. Zhai Qingyu must have seen a ghost when he went to worship those two people.
But Zhai Qingming is actually a bit pitiful.
He sighed in his heart that the rich second generation who had accepted the Zhai family could not pity Zhai Qingyu who was abandoned and used in his youth.
"Shang Nan?" Zhai Qingming looked at Shang Nan with his bloodshot eyes, "Aren't you going there too?"
"..."
Shang Nan felt that he should go there. He seemed to have no reason not to go and pay homage to the two of them. After all, they were the parents of his best friend.
Before he stood up, Zhai Qingyu looked at him and said, "Go ahead."
As soon as Zhai Qingyu let go, Shannan breathed a sigh of relief. He stuffed most of the uneaten bread into Zhai Qingyu's hands, "Then I'll be right back."
Zhai Qingming looked at the two of them, and the doubtful look in his eyes slowly faded away. He could basically confirm that the scene that day was not his hallucination. Shang Nan was indeed closer to his brother, but to what extent they were closer, he didn't know.Know.
Zhai Qingming bypassed Zhai Qingyu, reached out and held Shang Nan's wrist, and led him to the memorial hall.
Shang Nan didn't even react. He tried to shake off Zhai Qingming's hand without making it too obvious, so he failed. When he finally left the lounge, he looked back at Zhai Qingyu who was sitting by the window——
It was raining heavily outside the window, and the rain and fog were thick. Zhai Qingyu's eyes were like rain and fog that couldn't be wiped away, and there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
But he was only in a wheelchair, he couldn't walk.
The memorial hall is very spacious, filled with white wreaths, and there are potted chrysanthemums and bouquets on the ground. The people who come to mourn are basically the upper class of Yun City. They are dressed in noble and decent clothes. Even if they are all black, they all have their own style..
The black and white photos of Zhai's father and mother were enlarged, and Shannan was brought to the wooden coffins of the two dead people by Zhai Qingming. Zhai Qingming let go of his hand and looked at the photos taken when his parents were still alive. Zhai Qingming's voice became hoarse, "Shangnan, do you know? In fact, during this period, I most hope that you and my brother will be by my side, but my brother is no longer my brother. I admit that my parents were at fault, but is it possible that my brother is just a little bit different?Isn't there anything wrong? The time and energy they have spent raising my brother till now, don't they count?"
He looks like a child who hasn't grown up, even though he looks much more mature than before.
"And you, you haven't been with me during this time. We are best friends, brother..." Zhai Qingming took a few sticks of incense from the person next to him and handed it to Shan Nan, "When my mother was still here,Said he liked you very much."
His eyes were red, the funeral needed him and the guests, and if he cried, the funeral would not be able to go on.
The only people present who cried loudly were Zhai's father, Zhai's mother's parents and their brothers.
Shan Nan bowed to the dead couple, put the incense in the incense burner on the table, and then turned back to answer Zhai Qingming's words just now, "We are just friends, aren't we?" He had already hinted clearly enough, he didn't knowCan Zhai Qingming understand?
If Zhai Qingming was questioning him and demanding from him as a friend, then Shannan knew that he was in the wrong, but he knew that Zhai Qingming was not questioning him from the perspective of a friend, but a boyfriend, and Zhai Qingming himself knew it too.
For example, Wei Jie, Shan Nan and Wei Jie were together, but Zhai Qingming did not question Wei Jie.
Zhai Qingming's expression was shocked at first, then sad and disappointed. Shang Nan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead, I'll go sit in the lounge for a while. If you need anything, you can always come to me."
He walked too fast, and because someone came up to greet Zhai Qingming, Zhai Qingming couldn't get away.
Zhai Qingyu was not the only one in the lounge. During Shang Nan's brief absence, some more people came, but no one was sitting around Zhai Qingyu, and no one talked to him.
Everyone here is wearing formal clothes. Only Shannan is wearing a sweatshirt and jeans. He is tall and looks like a student. He attracts everyone's attention as soon as he enters.
Never seen it.
Shang Nan sat down uncomfortably in the empty seat next to Zhai Qingyu. There was a long silence after sitting down. Shang Nan couldn't hold on any longer, so he leaned over and asked, "Where's my bread?"
Zhai Qingyu handed the packaging bag in his hand to Shannan, "I ate it."
"Didn't you say you don't want to eat?"
After asking this question, Shannan thought of several answers that Zhai Qingyu might give him, such as "I just want to eat", such as "If I eat you, you don't have to eat to relieve my anger", but he never thought of it.Yes, before Zhai Qingyu answered, he rested his elbows on the armrests of his wheelchair, put it close to his ear, and said slowly: "The bread you bitten has your saliva on it, it looks delicious."
His tone was always gentle. When talking about love, gentleness turned into lingering, and every word was filled with the intention of coaxing people into dizziness.
Shan Nan's ears were red, like two fiery red maple leaves sticking to the sides of his head. Zhai Qingyu couldn't help but flick them with his fingers. "Making friends is a normal social interaction. You don't need to pay too much attention to me."
The monster was suddenly considerate, but something seemed a little off. Shan Nan smiled sheepishly, "Zhai Qingming is my friend, but he can also be considered your love rival, right?"
Before that, Zhai Qingyu didn't let Shannan be called Qingming, but had to call him by his first name.
"Because I like you." The end of Zhai Qingyu's words dragged out for a long time, like ripples in the center of the lake, rippling from the center to the shore.
Shang Nan glanced around. If it weren't for the people around him, he would have kissed Zhai Qingyu on the face right now.
But there was someone next to him, so he forgot about it, so he replaced the kiss with pinching Zhai Qingyu's face. It was very offensive, very good, and very happy.
Insects can sense very small sounds in nature that are inaudible to humans. Their wing tentacles can sense sound waves from far to near.
After Zhai Qingyu pinched his face in Shang Nan, he looked in the direction of the door not far away.
The smile on his face was a little deeper, but just like the rain outside the window, it was confusing because it contained too many things and the real thoughts were hidden too deeply.
Without giving Shang Nan a chance to react, Zhai Qingyu covered Shang Nan's eyes with his warm palms. He turned around and pinched Shang Nan's chin with his other hand.
Shang Nan's eyes fell into hazy darkness, and he could only see vague and weak light and shadow.
He wanted to ask a question, but his lips were suddenly kissed. It was Zhai Qingyu. It was a kiss. Shannan was sure.
The second their lips touched, Zhai Qingming's figure appeared at the door.
