Glass Butterfly

Tang Tu stared at him blankly, in disbelief: "Youqing, why would you think so..."

"Intuition." Ruan Youqing explained frankly, "If this is the case, we can try not to meet each other. I misunderstood before... so I'm sorry..."

"No...it's not like that." Tang Tu interrupted him, and quickly walked in front of him, "You didn't do anything wrong, don't apologize to me. And...and probably it's not a misunderstanding."

He sighed, and returned the letter T to Ruan Youqing, "It's my fault. You are too young, we... We are more suitable for a cooperative relationship now, and we are also friends. This kind of relationship is stable and long enough."

"Do you think... the relationship with the artist is not stable enough and not long-lasting?" Ruan Youqing seemed to understand.

"My... an artist friend once said something that I couldn't accept but fully understood." Tang Tu stared at the cherry blossom and said slowly, "He told me, Tang Tu, we are all so small , Inspiration is so elusive, you don’t even know at what point in your life the real muse will appear, since we are determined to be artists, we can’t ignore those worldly rules and regulations, and we can’t restrain ourselves like ordinary people, so that we can A chance to seize the possibilities that God has given us. Life is too short to be faithful to inspiration, and to the universe, you and I are nothing but a moment."

Tang Tu turned her head to look at him again: "It was also from then on that I accepted the fact that I couldn't be an artist. I didn't have enough talent, and I didn't have that kind of sensitivity and calmness. I'm just an ordinary person, but it doesn't affect me. Appreciate your talent."

Ruan Youqing was speechless, almost convinced by him, and almost accepted the artist's inherently sentimental setting.

"One of your artist friends..." Ruan Youqing repeated silently.

This is the only place where he doubts.He didn't think anyone would admonish his friend in such a tone, the tone was more like an excuse and inducement.But he didn't know how to refute this argument for a while.

Tang Tu looked away: "Do you have a suitable packing box? I'll pack it for you."

They fell silent, and no one said another word.

A week after the parting, Ruan Youqing thought over and over again, and agreed to be an assistant after Tang Tu asked again, after all, that was his desire.

In the evening, Ruan Youqing opened the knocked door, the people inside couldn't laugh or cry, and the people outside looked sad and indignant.

Today is Saturday, and this is the third time they have met this week.

A bunch of delicate daily necessities such as ultra-soft towels and toothbrushes with ceramic handles arrived on Monday morning, and a notebook came yesterday.He refused to accept it, so Zhang Wenbin snatched his mobile phone and dialed Tang Tu on the spot: "You tell my boss yourself!"

"Another one of the Bubble series was taken away just now, and the transfer hasn't arrived yet, so just treat it as if you bought this computer with your own money. There should be an invoice in the box, you can take a look." Tang Tu said calmly. , as if he would definitely accept this arrangement.

But in fact, Ruan Youqing really felt that he needed a portable laptop when traveling far away, after all, he might not be used to keyboards in Japan...

He took out the receipt and took a look. It was less than 1 yuan, which was barely affordable.

"Handsome guy. I've seen you more times than my girlfriend this month." The young man brushed his hair and was a little irritable. "I really don't understand why you artists have so many twists and turns when you fall in love."

Ruan Youqing corrected, "I'm not in a relationship."

"All right, all right?" Zhang Wenbin looked at Ruan Youqing angrily, and stuffed several bulky but light packaging bags into his arms, "My boss said that the winter in Hokkaido is very cold, so you take all of these with you."

Seeing Zhang Wenbin's upset look, Ruan Youqing was a little helpless, he and Tang Tu did not fall in love.

He opened the packing bags in front of the other party, and there were everything from coats to socks.

"Except for the two white down jackets, the rest are basically made of cashmere. My boss likes cashmere, saying it is warm, light and breathable." Zhang Wenbin leaned against the door frame and sent a WeChat message to someone, "Hurry up and try on the size, it doesn't fit. I still have time to go back and change. But they are all casual styles. The boss said that you don’t like to wear formal clothes, so they are all clothes that are convenient for work. They won’t be too hot indoors, and the jackets are also very warm..."

Ever since he taught him how to drive, Zhang Wenbin seldom called him teacher in private, either handsome guy, little brother, or by his first name.At this moment, he urged Ruan Youqing, picked up a hoodie and overalls and forced him to change: "Try these pants with fleece quickly!" After finishing speaking, he exited the door, "Call me when you are ready."

The cashmere inside is very soft, but it's dry and dry in summer, and the body feels a little hot just after wearing it.Ruan Youqing opened the door and stood in front of Zhang Wenbin.

"Tsk tsk, it's so pretty, my boss has nothing to say." Zhang Wenbin looked at his face when he said this, but not his clothes. "It's probably the same. It's not a big problem, so I'll go back first!" He rushed to Ruan Youqing Winking, she couldn't wait to leave the remote industrial area and rush to the beautiful weekend night, leaving Ruan Youqing standing there alone in a winter coat.

He changed the clothes, took them apart one by one, sorted and folded them, and packed them into the suitcase that Zhang Wenbin sent earlier.

Light pink, beige, apricot yellow, navy blue hooded sweater, high neck and round neck thin thermal clothing, light gray, camel overalls with large pockets, wool socks, pure white long down jacket, waterproof snow boots and down boots.There's even a furry vest and fingerless gloves in case he's inconvenient at work.

"I can't hold it..." Ruan Youqing smiled and shook her head.He was going to Japan, not some remote tribe, where he could obviously buy everything.But he still tried his best to stuff everything Tang Tu picked out for him into the big box, and even took out the set of lamp tools and a few Japanese exercise books that Xiang Yu had left for him.

In the past two months, he has been extremely busy and has hardly been in the factory.He went back to Ciqing to look at his grandfather, and told him that he was going overseas to study as an assistant to the glass master.Grandpa didn't have any objections, he only cared about such trivial matters as his language, board and lodging, and even gave him money.

"A poor family is rich. You are used to being frugal, but you still have to be prepared when you go out." The old man took out his bank card and handed it to him, "I have nothing to spend money by myself. This is your mother's past few years. I haven’t touched the money that came in one after another, you can go to the bank to exchange currency, I don’t know much about it.”

Ruan Youqing didn't directly refuse, but when the old man was cooking in the kitchen, he stuffed the card back into the pocket of the trousers he hung by the door.

After returning from Ciqing, he bought all the textbooks recommended on the Internet to quickly master Japanese daily conversations. He got up at [-]:[-] a.m. and gnawed vocabulary books in front of the window, like when he was taking the fourth grade in college. Senior sister, Xiang Yu occasionally gave him Send a few messages to ask what's going on.

A week before he left, his grandfather called him and didn't mention the bank card. He was probably used to this stubborn grandson and knew that it would be useless to talk too much, so he just told him: "Before you leave, let's talk to your mother."

"Well, let's talk in two days." He deliberately didn't inform Yang Liu in advance, otherwise it was inevitable that we would meet again, and Yang Liu would definitely not be able to resist buying this and that for him.On the one hand, he didn't want his mother to spend money for him. On the other hand, he didn't need anything. His partner and friend Tang Tu took care of everything for him, ranging from outfits to air tickets and passport holders.

But Yang Liu still wanted to see him, saying that he didn't know how long it would be until he came back after leaving, at least it would be good for the mother and son to have a meal together.Ruan Youqing naturally couldn't refuse when she heard her fussy tone.She made an appointment for the restaurant on the first floor of Chuqing, and Ruan Youqing returned to the familiar place after two months.

During the dinner, Yang Liu's eyes turned red several times, worrying that Ruan Youqing would not be able to take good care of herself when she was away from home.When dessert was served, as he expected, the other party took out a bank card from his wallet, but Ruan Youqing didn't answer it.

"Mom, haven't I been away from home all the time?" Ruan Youqing tried to reassure her, "I'm already this old. Look, I've sold several works recently." He took out his phone and handed it to his mother: "You Do you know how much this cherry blossom tree costs? It was priced at [-] yuan, and it was taken away by collectors not long after. And I was paid as an assistant in Japan, enough to live on.”

He is not very good at persuading others, let alone a mother who is sentimental about parting, so he thought of a solution: "Mom, do you have time after dinner? I want to buy a cashmere scarf. Please help me choose one."

Sure enough, the other party immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, okay, let's go to the shopping mall next door and look for it."

When paying the bill, Ruan Youqing's temple twitched without warning, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the glass door of the restaurant, but only strangers who happened to pass by were calling outside the door.

"Youqing? What's wrong?" Yang Liu followed his gaze.

"No." Illusion.Before I left, I couldn't see each other.

"Boss..." Zhang Wenbin asked meaningfully, "That girl is pretty..."

Tang Tu frowned: "What are you thinking, that's his mother."

"? I didn't think about it... I just feel familiar, as if I've seen it before." Zhang Wenbin looked innocent, "Ruan Youqing looks like her mother, with a high nose bridge, big eyes and a small face."

Tang Tu ignored him, turned around and got out of the elevator, and walked quickly to the car.

"Why don't we go and say hello?" Zhang Wenbin was a little puzzled, but his question seemed to annoy Tang Tu even more.

"...I don't want to disturb them."

"Then you really don't go to the airport to see him off next week..."

Tang Tu stared coldly at the rearview mirror, ignored the noisy driver, and closed his eyes with a sigh.

Zhang Wenbin kept his mouth shut honestly, but he was muttering in his heart.He couldn't figure out what kind of relationship the big cousin had with this young glass artist.Although Ruan Youqing is talented and has potential, there are many young artists like him among the artists they know and associate with. The two of them are in an ordinary cooperative relationship. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tang Tu is very interested in him, and he has to deal with every trivial matter personally. He was so patient that he even took people home for the night.

It can be said to be a love relationship, and the two always seem to hide from each other intentionally or unintentionally, making themselves busy in the middle to pass the message for them.

Just now, before getting off work, Xu Hanyi went to the restaurant downstairs to arrange next week's dinner for Tang Tu, and when she returned to the office, she casually mentioned that she saw Ruan Youqing in the restaurant.Tang Tu didn't say anything at the time, but on the way to the parking lot, he stopped on the first floor, saying that he was worried and wanted to check the menu in person.In the end, I happened to meet Ruan Youqing and the others at the front desk to settle the bill.

In order to avoid meeting each other, Tang Tu didn't carry out the confirmation menu agreed earlier, and only looked in through the glass door for a few seconds before turning around and leaving.

It is superfluous, but it is the professional code of the subordinates to see through and not tell the truth.

"Boss, we're here." He patiently waited for Tang Tu to be stunned for a while before opening his mouth.

"When you go to see him off the day after tomorrow, come early. If he asks me why I don't go..."

"Let's just say that you have an unavoidable dinner that day." I've said it 180 times... Zhang Wenbin slandered.
