Glass Butterfly

All the way from Jiang Jilan's apartment back to the hotel room, they held hands, Ruan Youqing walked briskly, and even hummed a few out-of-key songs when getting on the elevator for the first time.

"So happy." Tang Tu couldn't help asking.Seeing Ruan Youqing's happy look, he couldn't help but feel sour.

"Well, I'm happy. I'm very happy. But now I'm suddenly a little angry." Ruan Youqing thought for a while, "I'm more happy. He is still alive, and he just stood in front of me like this, so unreal." He closed his eyes I closed my eyes and opened them again, "I was worried that I would wake up after sleeping and find that it was all hallucinations, so I was happy for nothing."

Tang Tu's heart tightened: "...how could it be..."

Ruan Youqing took the lead to change his clothes and went into the bathroom. He squinted his eyes in front of the mirror and brushed his teeth carefully. Tang Tu looked at his lover who was so happy, but he couldn't empathize with him at all. His smile was so dazzling that he didn't dare to look directly at him.

His mind was still stuck on Qin Xiaoran's last question that he didn't have time to answer: "How long have you been together?"

He understood the meaning of the other party almost instantly.He and Ruan Youqing, apart from the unpleasant first encounter, have only known each other for more than two years, and they have only been together for a short year. It is not deep enough, but it has gradually lost its freshness.

In the face of ten years of companionship, forced separation, ten years of nostalgia, and the impact of reunion once, the past between him and Ruan Youqing seems insignificant no matter what.

Ruan Youqing blew bubbles, looked at him in the mirror with a smile on his face, and raised his eyebrows as if asking him: What's wrong with you?

Tang Tu looked at himself in the glasses, his face was pale, his eyes were gloomy, and there was no dignity at all.

He was suddenly annoyed, why, why.Why did that Jiang Jilan come back from the dead and stand in front of them again after so many years, why did that Qin Xiaoran question his relationship and relationship with Ruan Youqing, and this Ruan Youqing!Why are you so happy!How could I be so easily shaken? After hearing about Jiang Jilan's miserable past, I really feel sad for him... What kind of saint are you pretending to be... How can people need your sympathy...

He began to regret not rejecting this dinner, regretting participating in this New York art fair, regretting seeing that auction, and even regretting letting Ruan Youqing hold a solo exhibition.If not, Jiang Jilan would not reappear among them.

Tang Tu grabbed Ruan Youqing by the back of the collar, regardless of the mouthwash he hadn't spit out, and dragged Ruan Youqing towards the bedroom.

As if choking, Ruan Youqing was forced to swallow the mouthwash with a thud in her throat, and coughed a few times.Tang Tu paused, and looked back at him apologetically: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

The other party did not intend to blame him, but calmly hugged him and asked, "What's wrong with you, why are you angry?"

This gentle question made Tang Tu feel ashamed, he couldn't explain it, he could only kiss that mouth, lest the other party ask more questions that made him feel guilty and embarrassed.

They followed suit and returned to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Ruan Youqing tried to comfort him with touching and kissing, but Tang Tu didn't need to comfort him at the moment, as if he wanted to prove something.

But the other party didn't let him play around, but immediately regained the initiative, allowing the scene to gradually calm down.

But now he is not satisfied with this, he wants to hurt each other a little bit, as if the more pain, the deeper the emotional imprint will be left.So he bit Ruan Youqing's shoulder fiercely, felt Ruan Youqing's painful tremor as he wished, tensed his muscles, but quickly relaxed, allowing his teeth to tighten tightly, as if indulging a craving for food. Satisfied baby.

The glitz of Manhattan is swaying in front of his eyes. He likes to see Ruan Youqing's immersed expression, which is similar to that when polishing a work. When he is working hard, his brows are slightly frowned, like a little beast that is working hard, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and nose tip, and those real eyes. Shining brightly in the light from the window.

"Youqing. Ruan Youqing." He murmured, "...I love you, love you."

Even if he is only a moment in the universe, at that moment he will choose to go through the atmosphere with Ruan Youqing and disappear into the vast galaxy.

"I know." Ruan Youqing stopped, brushed his sweaty forehead and kissed his eyes, "I love you too."

That should be enough.

They are entangled tightly enough.

In any case, he won't be left behind.

Ruan Youqing woke up and leaned against the bed with her mobile phone. At seven o'clock, Jiang Jilan sent him a WeChat message, asking him if he woke up, and if he would like to pick him up downstairs at the hotel and go to Metropolis together.Ruan Youqing declined, and he told Jiang Jilan that he wanted to walk around Central Park with Tang Tu.

As soon as he pressed the send button, a hand stretched out beside him, gently stroking his shoulder.There was a neat ring of tooth marks there, and the edges were reddened by bleeding under the skin.

"Does it hurt..." Tang Tu asked.

"It doesn't hurt." Ruan Youqing lay down again, "Did you drink while I was not paying attention last night?"

In fact, he couldn't understand Tang Tu's sudden loss of control last night, and he lay on the pillow in bewilderment and couldn't fall asleep.But Tang Tu couldn't help calling his name again in his sleep, vaguely, he said that Youqing loved me.

The inexplicable sleep talk made Ruan Youqing catch some clues. He always knew that Tang Tu was a person who was insecure in his relationship. Otherwise, he would not insist on such absurd creed not to fall in love with artists, and the two of them would not have been tossed around. The snowy nights in Otaru really walked into each other.

He thought of the first time he mentioned Jiang Jilan to Tang Tu, at that time he almost thought they would be together, but they didn't.After hearing about his past with Jiang Jilan, Tang Tu not only put away his ambiguous attitude, but even sent him to the distant Hokkaido, where they hadn't seen each other for more than half a year.

So this time too?

Tang Tu pecked his shoulder and sighed, "Sorry."

Ruan Youqing shook her head and asked him for confirmation: "Why are you angry, tell me."

"I'm not angry. It's just that I'm in a bad mood, and I'm fine now." Tang Tu avoided his questioning, with a look of embarrassment, avoided his eyes, and got up to wash up.

Ruan Youqing remembered that after he said "I love you" last night, Tang Tu went quiet. This saying "It's okay" shouldn't be a joke.The rest can be told to Tang Tu slowly after he figured it out.

He also went to wash up after the other party. They had breakfast together, and walked leisurely through the lush trees in Central Park. On the way, they met many people walking their dogs. Ruan Youqing asked Tang Tu if he wanted to raise one, and Tang Tu shook it. Shaking his head: "It's too troublesome."

"I can take care of it." Ruan Youqing walked backwards in front of Tang Tu, chatting with him face to face.

Tang Tu lowered his head to pay attention to his back and feet: "No. It's too clingy. If you take care of it, it will stick to you forever."

"...Do you even eat dogs' jealousy..." Ruan Youqing smiled.

"No..." Tang Tu took a deep breath, "It can only live for more than ten years, I don't like the feeling of giving it away." After speaking, the circles of his eyes turned red.

Ruan Youqing guessed what he recalled, probably it was the fox terrier he mentioned.

"Then don't raise it anymore. Raise me, I can live for a long time." He stood on the spot and opened his arms. It's going to be late."

At nine o'clock, they arrived at the main entrance of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on time.As the best in the world, people who watch nature like a market, Ruan Youqing took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Jiang Jilan: We are here.

Didn't wait for a reply, just waited for someone to come.Ruan Youqing was patted on the shoulder, and when she turned around, it was Jiang Jilan, followed by Qin Xiaoran.

"I've seen you from afar." Jiang Jilan looked him up with a smile, with a trace of regret in her words, "Why didn't you wear a suit?"

"The sweater is more comfortable." Ruan Youqing asked, "Have you waited long?"

"No, just arrived."

"Yeah, it's only been over half an hour." Qin Xiaoran choked quietly, causing Jiang Jilan to roll his eyes in dissatisfaction, and hastily denied: "Listen to his nonsense, it's not that long, let's go in." He said Then he tugged Ruan Youqing's sleeve, and excitedly stepped up the big steps.

"Tsk, slow down." Qin Xiaoran didn't follow, but instead walked to Tang Tu's side, "Morning, Mr. Tang."

"Morning." Tang Tu smiled generously at him.

They went straight to the Wings of America exhibition area, and took a quick look at some portraits and introductions of famous historical figures. Jiang Jilan whispered in his ear, "This exhibition area is not very interesting. After all, this place has only a history of more than 200 years. It is really different from the other exhibition areas." For example, if there is no Tiffany window, we don't have to come here at all."

Ruan Youqing looked around, most of the people were taking pictures.So they crossed the check-in crowd and found the target.Looking at the brightly colored windows from a distance, a beautiful autumn scene appeared in front of him, and he gasped. The real thing was full of three-dimensionality, even surpassing the beauty in imagination.

"This is one of Tiffany's most famous works. The size is 1923 meters by [-] meters, and it was created in [-]." Jiang Jilan stood side by side with him in front of the window: "Outside the window pane, from close up From the trees to the distant mountains, the colors are as rich as oil paintings, especially the mountain streams, where the yellow, green and orange intertwined tree shadows are projected on the water surface, and multi-layer glass is used to create a three-dimensional depth of field. The illusion of flow."

Ruan Youqing nodded with his mouth pursed, he didn't know what words to use to praise this masterpiece.

"It's still so boring. Why don't you say something." Jiang Jilan teased him as gently as she did when she was a child.

"It's beautiful, very beautiful." He smacked his lips, but couldn't make up anything.

"Let's go, in front is his dogwood, another style of work. It has a Japanese taste, light and light, not as famous as this window, but I personally like that one better." Jiang Jilan grabbed his wrist .Ruan Youqing froze for a moment, tilted his head and stopped where he was.Although very kind, Jiang Jilan still seemed to regard him as that half-grown child, which made him a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" The other party turned around and asked.

"Wait a minute, Tang Tu." Ruan Youqing turned her head to confirm that Tang Tu and Qin Xiaoran were not far behind them, and then followed Jiang Jilan to continue walking, to the dogwood tree.

"You and Tang Tu..." Jiang Jilan asked in a low voice, "Is he...is your boyfriend?"

"En." Ruan Youqing nodded as a matter of course.

Jiang Jilan turned her head and stared at the dogwood window for a long time without speaking.
