Glass Butterfly

Ruan Youqing woke up early, and the flight didn't take off until noon. He spent the last time cleaning the container, and moved the indoor plants out of the house one by one, and placed them in a corner of the courtyard.

He spent two hours writing and drawing in his sketchbook last night before going to bed, and left Lu Keke with a simple and easy-to-understand hand-painted guide to raising butterflies.At first the little girl was unhappy because he was leaving, and parting is always hard for a child.So Ruan Youqing solemnly entrusted her with the responsibility of raising butterflies, telling her how butterflies are born, how many different forms they will experience in their short life, what they eat to survive, and their posture when they die.The paper was so lifelike that the little girl couldn't take her eyes off it.

"If you like, you can ask Dad to make specimens for you." Ruan Youqing pointed to the cardboard box in the corner, which was filled with butterfly specimens he had collected over the years, some of which were made by himself, and some rare species were bought, such as That expensive goddess of light, Morpho Butterfly.

"Are you back?" Lu Keke asked.

"Of course. I'm just going to learn." He has never had a long-term vision and only lives in the moment, but this is still certain.

Lu Keke felt relieved when he heard him being so sure: "Then remember to take the little bear away. Dad said that the place you are going to is very cold and there will be a snowstorm more than one meter thick." After speaking, she compared her height , "will bury me."

The people around couldn't help laughing, but the little girl spoke very seriously, Ruan Youqing didn't laugh with them, but solemnly promised her: "Okay, I will be careful."

When Zhang Wenbin drove the car into the courtyard, Ruan Youqing was watering with a watering can.From a distance, I saw the driver get out of the car after stopping and walked towards the corner where he was.

Ruan Youqing turned her head and waved to him, but the sun was shining directly and she couldn't open her eyes, so she gave up saying hello and used the back of her hand to block the glare.

Zhang Wenbin took two steps and took out his mobile phone, not knowing what he was doing, took it back after a long time, and then approached him.Butterflies fled in all directions at that moment.

"Do they still recognize life?" Zhang Wenbin complained.

"Insects are afraid of people." Ruan Youqing explained.

"Why aren't you afraid of you..."

"I don't know." Butterfly has liked him since he was a child. I don't know if he treats him as some kind of plant, and occasionally stays on him.This makes him secretly happy, although he has no friends, at least there are butterflies who like him.

"Where are the boxes? I'll help you move them to the car." Zhang Wenbin walked towards the empty container he had packed.

Ruan Youqing shook her head, picked up her luggage and walked to the trunk of the car before him.He is neither a young master nor a master, and he doesn't need anyone to serve him like this.

Before departure, Lu Zhensai gave him a freshly baked tea egg for breakfast: "Remember to report that you are safe when you arrive."

There will be no traffic jams in the suburbs. Zhang Wenbin turned on the automatic cruise control and had nothing to do with him. He would give him popular science about Hokkaido's customs and customs for a while, and talk about Japanese cuisine for a while.He could hold up a conversation by himself, and Ruan Youqing was happy to relax, staring blankly in the comfortable leather seat of the co-pilot.

"Handsome guy, don't you have any questions to ask me? I've been there several times." Zhang Wenbin finally found that his audience was not involved and had no sense of accomplishment.

"No." Ruan Youqing looked at the navigation, and it was still 10 minutes by car to the destination.Seeing Zhang Wenbin's slightly hurt expression, he still seized the last time to rack his brains, "Then, there is a problem."

The other party's eyes lit up: "You ask, you ask! I didn't blow... Beihai..."

"Did Tang Tu fall in love with an artist before?"

"...Dao..." Zhang Wenbin swallowed hard, "You...otherwise, why don't you ask my boss why he didn't come to see you off...Because he's a bit busy today, and he came from the United States to do something Chinese painters from the exhibition came to see him..."

"So, it was painful when they broke up, right. At least Tang Tu was very painful." Ruan Youqing nodded, "Understood."

"No, what do you understand! I don't know!" Zhang Wenbin yelled, "Who would know such details except the person involved!"

I don't know the details... The general direction should be correct.

Ruan Youqing nodded: "Thank you."

"Why are you thanking me!!! My God, I didn't say anything, Mr. Youqing, please forgive me..." The driver wailed and stopped the car.

"Thank you for sending me here." Ruan Youqing could understand why Tang Tu always liked to bully Zhang Wenbin, it was indeed interesting.

"...you check your air ticket, passport, bank card...you forgot something and it's too late." The other party opened the trunk for him with drooping eyelids.

"No more. You go back, I'll go in alone." Ruan Youqing tried to pat him on the shoulder as farewell.

"Wait! Boss said let me watch you change your boarding pass before leaving..." Zhang Wenbin was absent-minded for some reason, and began to check the time frequently.They came to the departure hall from the parking lot, found the corresponding check-in window, and watched the big suitcase being sent away by the conveyor belt. It was more than half an hour before the boarding time, and Zhang Wenbin looked around from time to time.

"You go back. Goodbye." Ruan Youqing didn't want to waste other people's time, and before waiting for the other party's answer, he turned around decisively and walked towards the security checkpoint.

"It's upstairs, why don't you take a look?" Cheng Mo asked Tang Tu.

"I'm here to pick up the plane." Tang Tu looked at the exit directly in front of him.

"If you want to go, go, don't you still have me here." Cheng Mo looked at him with interest, "I didn't arrange for you to pick up the plane."

"I just have time." Tang Tu took out his buzzing cell phone, hesitated when he saw Zhang Wenbin's name, and then picked it up, "Hello?"

"Boss! If you don't come up again, he will have to go through the security check!!!" Zhang Wenbin yelled anxiously, the voice came out clearly from the receiver, and Tang Tu couldn't help moving the phone away from the shock.

"Hurry up and go back to work after sending people off." He hung up after finishing speaking, ignoring the gloating smile beside him, and continued to patiently wait for the painter who came from afar.He came to the airport to show his sincerity, and to make everything go smoothly for the upcoming art tour.

The plane was very noisy, and there was a sharp pain when it took off, Ruan Youqing was unprepared.He took off his hearing aids, gritted his teeth and made it to the flat-flight stage, but still felt a dull pain in his ears.He kept swallowing, and opened the vocabulary book to try to distract himself, but it was in vain, and he could only survive the three-hour voyage.In the last ten minutes of landing, the seconds felt like years. The tympanic nerve felt as if it had been repeatedly pierced by a long and thin needle, and the pain was unbearable, and even the eye sockets throbbed.He got off the plane in a daze, and when he took the first breath of unfamiliar air, he realized that he was already covered in cold sweat.

Instead of following the main force to the customs office, he quickly found the nearest bathroom, washed his face with cold water, calmed himself down, and slowly waited for the dizziness to disappear before inserting the hearing aid back.

He sat on the toilet seat and turned off the airplane mode of his phone, and saw what Tang Tu had sent him a few minutes before takeoff: safe journey.

After the rest, he found that the original nervousness and worry were unnecessary. Ruan Youqing, who had stepped out of the country for the first time, followed the signs marked in Chinese and successfully exited the customs all the way, and got his luggage.Looking at the JR line map mixed with a lot of Chinese characters, I found the train I should take, opened the station name and showed it to the staff at the manual ticket office.

The surrounding is very quiet.It seems that people here are not very talkative, which makes Ruan Youqing very comfortable.

He dragged his suitcase to the corresponding entrance gate. During this period, the mobile phone in his pocket kept vibrating. He was afraid of missing the train. He didn't have time to see who was looking for him until he put away his suitcase and sat by the window.

Senior sister, Xiang Yu, mother, Lu Zhen.The general content is almost the same, nothing more than one sentence has landed, is it going well?

Now he finally understands the importance of Moments, so he stuck the mint-colored ticket with the words New Chitose Airport to Otaru on the car window, took a photo, and posted the first ever Moments.At this moment, he didn't have enough time to start a dialogue with these people in turn, and he had to prepare for the first meeting with Miu Kawai.He was looking forward to it, but also nervous.Both Japanese and English are very limited, and I don't know what kind of character the other party is, and whether they will be able to communicate smoothly like meeting Tang Tu.Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that his first meeting with Tang Tu was not smooth at all, and the other party even developed inexplicable hostility towards him, which Ruan Youqing has never asked Tang Tu for the reason until now.

It can't be any worse than this.Ruan Youqing couldn't help but smile.The house outside the window disappeared. He looked up from the Japanese vocabulary app and saw a piece of blue.The train passes through Qianhan, facing inward, and runs on the track laid along the winding coastline. The weather is clear, and all the colors of summer are light and faint outside the glass window, without a trace of attack.The surface of the sea is the blue of cornflowers, gradually blending with the blue sky in the distance. This is completely different from the sea he has seen, neither surging nor smoky.The shore was empty, only a few figures occasionally appeared in the small stations passing by.He turned on the camera and recorded a video and saved it. The sea is changing rapidly, and maybe it will look different next time he passes by here.

He got off at the terminal Otaru Station as planned, and rushed to Kawai Miwa's studio first.

Kawai himself was not there, but an iconic Japanese girl received him. She introduced herself as Teacher Kawai's assistant, and her name was Sora Kojima.Mr. Kawai, who was supposed to come back this morning, has been delayed in Tokyo, and it may take two days before we can meet.Ruan Youqing struggled to listen to the girl's voice. When she spoke, she nodded and bowed her head in a low voice, which was really unfriendly to a Japanese beginner.

"I'm sorry..." he pointed to himself, "I'm not good at Japanese, can you speak slower?"

"Sorry, sorry, sorry." The other party bowed again and again, and Ruan Youqing had no choice but to bow to her frantically.After some gesticulating exchanges, he finally got the key to the residence, and he could go back, take a shower and settle down.

The residence is different from the small Japanese-style bachelor apartment he imagined. When he opened the door, he saw an extremely spacious space, living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, which was much more luxurious than his container.The house is already very clean, and he only needs to clean the floating dust and use it directly.

After tidying up his luggage and stuffing the empty suitcases on the top of the cupboard, Ruan Youqing went into the bathroom to wash off his exhaustion. He opened the window, and the outside temperature was only 20 degrees Celsius. Everything was beautiful in the quiet afternoon. He felt more relaxed than ever before. No first-timer anxiety.

He finally had the energy to open the messages and began to reply one by one.

Xiang Yu sent him a lot of travel tips, telling him to seize the opportunity to eat and have fun, Hokkaido is a resort.

The senior sister told him to get along well with his teachers and colleagues, and not to just swallow his anger and not be bullied.

Mom asked him to pay attention to safety, not to save money, and to take care of himself.

On the other hand, Tang Tu, who was always thoughtful, remained silent, and he didn't even like the circle of friends who said he was safe.

Lying on the bed, Ruan Youqing opened a travel guide for Furano, and found that summer is the most beautiful flower field, so she decided to make it her first destination.

Are you traveling...

He fell asleep unknowingly, only to be awakened by the hazy mobile phone notification sound and the violent vibration of the mattress.He rolled over, touched the screen next to him and pressed the green answer button, and Tang Tu's face suddenly appeared on the screen.

"Are you resting?" Tang Tu asked with a raised voice.

The intermittent tinnitus and ear pain had all disappeared, Ruan Youqing rubbed her sleepy eyelids, only then realized that what she had inadvertently picked up was a video from the other party, and was about to get up from the bed.

"You don't need to get up, it's fine, I just want to see if things are going well for you. Mr. Kawai just called me to say sorry, and said that I can't see you for the past two days. You can rest, I..."

"I'm awake." Ruan Youqing said as she got out of bed and walked to the living room, "I won't sleep anymore."

He adjusted the video to the rear camera facing the window, looking out from the living room of the small high-rise, he could see the blue in the gap between the trees and the building: "You can see a little sea here. The place you chose is great." He adjusted again Turning back to the front camera, he smiled at Tang Tu, "Thank you."

Tang Tu paused, coughed before speaking: "...it was... Zhang Wenbin chose."

"Really, thank him for me." Ruan Youqing stared at the uncomfortable person on the screen and said, "I like it very much."
