Glass Butterfly

Noah's flight was delayed, and Zhang Wenbin and Cheng Mo kept sending messages at the airport. A whole room of people waited from 05:30 to 07:30, swiped their mobile phones, dozed off, and finally waited for the notification of "exiting customs".

Ruan Youqing had seen a half-length photo of Noah in the album introduction, but he did not expect him to be more handsome and upright. He and Tang Tu are old acquaintances, and the two of them sitting at the table chatting naturally are like an elegant retro British style pictorial.

Liu Yan held her face in a nympho, and sighed in her mouth that it's a pity that people like the boss don't like women.

Ruan Youqing looked at her and subconsciously asked, "Why is it such a pity?"

Liu Yan stared at Tang Tu and muttered unconsciously: "Isn't it a pity, she is mature, considerate and gentle, understands art, has a vision and is so rich...and her face..." She stopped talking and recovered herself Lai rolled his eyes and looked at Ruan Youqing: "...Your question is a bit strange, please don't tell me that you don't like women either... My God, can this world leave us with a few high-quality straight men? ..."

Ruan Youqing was taken aback for a moment, he really wasn't good at communicating with people, so he should talk less.

Liu Yan dragged the chair towards him, and whispered mysteriously: "Mr. Youqing... You grow up like this and you don't have a girlfriend. My intuition tells me that it's not easy..."

He always thought that Liu Yan was just a stupid rich second generation, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing as intuition, it was wrong to say too much, he smiled and didn't answer, but the girl didn't intend to let him go like this: "Don't hide Ah, tell me quickly, save me having to dig out second-hand information from Hanyi every time!"

"Second-hand news?" Ruan Youqing was puzzled.

"Han Yi told me that our boss treats you no better than anyone else. You can see who he contacts in person, but they are all important artists in the circle, or at least they are rising stars like Noah, you are so young Even Brother Cheng Mo may not take the initiative to contact you, and most likely leave it to a newcomer like Hanyi to practice. Of course, I am not saying that you will not have achievements in the future, but..."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Tu interrupted suddenly, and everyone at the table looked at Ruan Youqing and Liu Yan at the same time, and the little girl hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, just chatting..."

Tang Tu nodded, and asked Ruan Youqing if he wanted to sit beside him and chat with Noah.

He was hesitating, but Liu Yan bumped his heel with a shoe as if urging him.That’s okay, even if you can’t fully understand the English conversation, it’s better to be in a daze over there than to be forced to gossip with girls here, or gossip about yourself.So he nodded and changed places with Xu Hanyi, and the two girls immediately started whispering when they met each other.

"My English is not very good." Ruan Youqing said frankly as soon as she sat down, "I may not be able to understand you."

Tang Tu said: "It's okay, I will translate for you. Aren't you curious about what the artist is doing? Just ask Noah, he is very easy-going and likes to chat with others."

He was right, Noah was very talkative, and he just opened his mouth and said that Tang Tu had just shown him the little rabbit and the little mushroom, which was very interesting.He is 35 years old this year, with the attitude of a senior, encouraging Ruan Youqing to be more courageous and try more.

Ruan Youqing found that Noah had a stronger desire to express than ordinary people. Even if he didn’t speak much, he would not be cold. Especially when it came to oil paintings, Noah was even more eloquent. Ruan Youqing seemed to be listening to English reading aloud on the radio. Still attracted by his lighted eyes, there is a door in Noah's eyes, Ruan Youqing can understand why he prefers to paint at night, the surroundings are dark and correspond to his white canvas, no noise can hinder his consciousness Strokes of his colors.Tang Tu tirelessly translated for him, but suddenly stopped while talking.

In fact, Ruan Youqing understood most of it by listening and guessing. He heard Noah spare no effort to praise Tang Tu as a careful, focused, and smart person.He said that he trusted Tang Tu very much, and if this person hadn't insisted on returning to China, he would have let Tang Tu represent his paintings.

But this part was directly skipped by Tang Tu himself, and he only conveyed the last short interrogative sentence: "Noah asked why you didn't agree to sign a contract with me."

Ruan Youqing thought for a while and said, "I agree."

Tang Tu was startled for a moment, then laughed again: "It's just chatting, don't need to be so serious."

Ruan Youqing didn't understand: "...you want to sign me?"

Tang Tu said of course he would, but this matter is your wish and should not be swayed by other people.

"It's your wish." Ruan Youqing repeated solemnly: "I want to sign a contract with you."

He felt that Tang Tu worried too much. If he didn't want to, let alone Noah, even Michelangelo couldn't force him sitting here.

"..." Tang Tu always liked to bite his upper lip when he was struggling.

Ruan Youqing saw Noah behind him urging to ask questions, Tang Tu turned and told the excited British man, "He agreed."

Noah laughed loudly, raised his glass, and said in Chinese: "Cheers!" Ruan Youqing also heard him say Tang, you should thank me.

Their meal started late and didn't end until nearly twelve o'clock.Noah was obviously drunk, and when he went out from the restaurant, he hugged Tang Tu's shoulders tightly and walked in the front.

"Go to bed early." Tang Tu tried to break free from the arms around his shoulders, but she was a little powerless against the broad and tall European figure.

"Good night, Tang." Noah bowed his head and kissed Tang Tu's cheek in full view, probably as a special etiquette for Europeans.But after a close kiss, he didn't let go, and leaned towards Tang Tu's mouth again.

Ruan Youqing heard the exaggerated gasping of the two girls beside her, and was relieved when Tang Tu dodged in time.

"Cut..." Xu Hanyi touched her heart, and couldn't help regretting while being frightened.

Tang Tu withdrew the back of his hand that was covering his mouth, and gave Zhang Wenbin a hard look. Cheng Mo and Zhang Wenbin hurriedly supported the drunk painter one by one, and walked towards the elevator.

"Happy?" Tang Tu smacked his face with alcohol, his cheeks flushed, and he turned to look at the girls with burning eyes, with a half-smile.

The two girls shook their heads like rattles, and couldn't help laughing together: "It's good for your eyes."

"Nasty." Tang Tu gestured to flick their foreheads with his hand, but then withdrew his hand after they closed their eyes in fright: "Did you call a taxi?"

"I didn't drink, so I drove her back." Liu Yan took out the car keys and asked Ruan Youqing, "What about you?"

He looked at the time, and the last subway train was long behind.

"Go back, let Zhang Wenbin take him back." Tang Tu told them to drive slowly and pay attention to safety.

Ruan Youqing was sitting in the co-pilot, and Zhang Wenbin next to him was pale, with a fist pressed against his lower abdomen.He has been in this state from time to time in the past two days, and he didn't make much noise at the dinner table tonight. At first, Ruan Youqing thought it was his stomach pain, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"What's wrong with you?" Ruan Youqing asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Zhang Wenbin waved his hands and didn't say a word. Not long after, they stopped in a quiet residential area, which was probably Tang Tu's home.Ruan Youqing looked at the sweat on the driver's head and felt something was wrong: "Does it hurt on the right side? Feel like vomiting? How long has it been?"

"It's been half a month. It's nothing. I'll be in a while..." Zhang Wenbin fell silent as he spoke.

"Go to the emergency room, in case it's acute appendicitis that will be perforated after a long time." Ruan Youqing said, "Don't send me away, go to the hospital." He looked back at the drunk Tang Tu and said, "You Go back and rest, I will accompany him to the hospital."

The other party shook his head and grabbed his arm, whispering that let's go together.

"No, no, no, it's been a while, and now it's better. There is a hospital nearby, so I can go by myself." Zhang Wenbin wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Boss, I'll go first." After saying that, he sat back in the driver's seat without waiting for a response. I drove away from my room, and it seemed that it was really hard to endure all night.

Ruan Youqing was secretly worried that he didn't like to cry when he was a child. When he was four years old, it was because acute appendicitis was not treated in time, which led to perforation. Although his life was saved, he couldn't hear clearly because of the medicine.

Tang Tu stood beside him silently, and after waiting for a long time, he said softly, "He's in good health, he's fine."

Ruan Youqing came back to her senses: "Well, good... good night then."

"Where are you going?" The other party's hand still grabbed his sleeve and did not let go.

"Back..." Ruan Youqing didn't know how to go back to such a remote place as the industrial zone in the middle of the night.

"Come up." Tang Tu dragged him into the small upper floors.

Tang Tu's house has underfloor heating, and when the door is opened, there is a rush of heat.Ruan Youqing didn't stand still when he took off his shoes in the entrance, and found that the person who was about the same height as him suddenly became a little shorter after taking off his leather shoes. He looked back at the black Oxford shoes that were crooked on the ground, The smooth lines made him never notice that the heel of the shoe is as high as 4 to 5 centimeters.

Following Tang Tu around the entrance wall, Ruan Youqing was stunned.

In the interior design company before, he had seen many design drawings of large flats, but this was the first time he saw an indoor patio in an apartment.

I don’t know if it’s because of the top floor, but the height of the floor is three meters by visual inspection, and the patio in the center of the hall is almost two meters square. At this moment, the lights in the house are not turned on, and the faint blue moonlight falls from the big skylight, and sprinkles on the unknown red leaf tree. , the small space is surrounded by glass on all sides, and the quiet dry landscape is slightly Zen.

It turned out that Tang Tu also liked skylights.

The owner of the house was slightly drunk, and felt the light switch under his feet. The room was lit up, and this empty living room looked more like a traditional white cubic gallery than Tubai.The white walls are scattered with some oil paintings and prints, only a corner sofa with simple lines and a geometric dark wooden table are placed in one corner, which is spotless.

Tang Tu took off his windbreaker, scarf, suit jacket and threw it on the ground while walking, Ruan Youqing followed behind and picked up one by one for him and held them in his arms, but he didn't know where to put them, so he just hugged and followed behind him.Pushing open a white door that blends into the white wall, they entered the actual living room.Tang Tu threw herself into the sofa.He took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes, seeing Ruan Youqing standing there with his clothes in his arms, he couldn't help smiling: "Don't worry, someone will clean it up during the day."

Ruan Youqing put the clothes on the sofa, carefully took off her only suit and spread it in the corner of the sofa to avoid wrinkles.Tang Tu got up and went to the bedroom again, handed him a set of home clothes that felt soft to the touch, and pointed behind him: "Over there is the bedroom, there is a bathroom in it, and there is a new toothbrush behind the mirror, look for it yourself. "

Ruan Youqing watched him fall back on the sofa and closed his eyes, then opened the door and entered the guest bedroom.

The decoration style of Tang Tu's home is a little different from what he imagined. Except for the living room that doesn't look like a private house, the whole color is warmer, dominated by beige and white, and the wood of the furniture is thick and smooth with no edges and corners.

The shower gel and shampoo had no smell, and the home clothes Tang Da stuffed for him were very loose, so light that he didn't feel any presence on his body.He put a towel around his neck to prevent the water from falling from his hair from getting wet on his clothes. He opened the door and went out to take a look. He moved his lips.The living room was a bit big, Ruan Youqing didn't hear clearly, so he walked a few steps closer, Tang Tu opened the refrigerator and pointed to the glass bottle, as if asking him if he wanted some water.Ruan Youqing nodded after drinking, and Tang Tu slowly bent down to take a glass from the bottom of the disinfection cabinet.

The short pajamas were pulled up by the bending action, exposing a small section of the lumbar spine.

Ruan Youqing saw a colorful butterfly parked there.
