Glass Butterfly

As long as the design is formed in the mind, Ruan Youqing's hand speed has always been very fast.

Arrived at the studio in Long Island at around [-]:[-], the environment was clean and spacious, he chose the color of the glass rod, opened the fire vent, and quickly got the hang of it after a few experiments.It didn't take long for a cool-toned iris to appear, and then the pear-shaped crystal with the needle at the end was polished and polished. The entire suit collar was completed at two o'clock in the afternoon, faster than expected.All the way back and forth from Long Island to Manhattan. Driving in the crowded neighborhood was slower than walking. Finally, I got back to Jiang Jilan's apartment at three o'clock.

"Why are your eyes red?" Jiang Jilan found a bottle of eye drops and stuffed them for him. "Take a shower and go to sleep. I'll help you find a suitable packing box. I'll call you when it's almost time."

"I'll just rest on the sofa." He pointed to the soft leather sofa in the living room.

"No, go to Brother Jilan's room and sleep, the housekeeper will come to clean up later, it's inconvenient to sleep in the living room." Qin Xiaoran insisted on pushing him into Jiang Jilan's bedroom.Without much excuse, he quickly took a shower, put on the T-shirt he prepared in advance, stood in the middle of the room and hesitated for a while, and finally felt that it was a bit awkward to sleep on someone else's bed, so he chose to nest in the narrow two-seater sofa.

Ruan Youqing rubbed the sore eye sockets. Since the last subconjunctival hemorrhage, Tang Tu has prepared a lot of eye compresses at home, cold compresses in the refrigerator, and hot compress eye masks in the bedroom. Hanging up, especially when taking a nap, if Tang Tu is at home, then when he wakes up, there must be warmth and tide in front of his eyes.

"Brother, do you have a hot compress eye mask?" He asked casually.

"Yes." Jiang Jilan handed him a pair of steam eye masks 5 minutes later.

"Wake me up in an hour." Ruan Youqing put the cool-toned iris on the coffee table, put on an eye mask and fell asleep peacefully.Don't worry too much, seeing the gift Tang Tu will definitely say with joy in his eyes, "You help me bring it."It seems that Tang Tu likes everything he makes, starting with a blemish-filled eight-treasure candy.He didn't know which suit Tang Tu would choose today, he put Tang Tu in the middle like a little girl playing a dress-up game in his mind, and changed the clothes in the suitcase one by one.

While half asleep and half awake, his blindfold was taken off by a pair of warm hands, someone called his name softly, Youqing?The tone is soft and slow.When they met for the first time, Tang Tu talked to him like this.

He lazily turned over, didn't bother to lift his eyelids, and grasped the wrist that was pulling away from his body by feeling.

Unexpectedly, the man actually resisted.So he pulled as hard as usual, trying to pull the person into his arms, and at the same time he lifted the blindfold and muttered: "What are you running for?"

In front of him was Jiang Jilan's embarrassed expression, and he was stuffing one of the hearing aids next to the pillow into his ear: "Youqing, it's me, you, that, let go first..."

Ruan Youqing was shocked, and quickly let go of her hand: "Ah, brother. It's you..." Really... Fortunately, I woke up, "What time is it?"

"It's 05:30. I called you half an hour ago, but you fell asleep again in a blink of an eye. I saw that Tang Tu hadn't arrived yet, so I let you rest for a while." Jiang Jilan opened the bedroom door and asked Qin Xiaoran who was outside. , "Where's Tang Tu people?"

"Not here yet." Qin Xiaoran ignored the notebook, as if he was revising the thesis.

"Huh? I just heard the doorbell, didn't he?"

"No, someone pressed the wrong house number." Qin Xiaoran asked casually, "Ruan Youqing woke up?"

"Wake up, I finally woke up."

After confirming that Jiang Jilan had no doubts, Qin Xiaoran squeezed his sweaty palms.A few minutes ago, Tang Tu's blue face before leaving told him that this was an opportunity.

He felt that he had done nothing wrong, at most he just made mistakes.

Even if he was wrong, he would not give up being despicable for Jiang Jilan once.

Jiang Jilan deserved a chance, instead of just giving up and admitting defeat without doing anything, forever humble and lonely forever.If Ruan Youqing really fell in love with Tang Tu like that, then... what he did was not enough to hinder them, it was just a trivial test at best.He fumbled for the phone in his pocket, and took a peek at Ruan Youqing, who was kept in the dark, and Jiang Jilan, who was also ignorant.

Jiang Jilan found a dark wooden box somewhere, without a logo, and it was just right for the tie pin.Ruan Youqing carefully tied the thin ribbon for fixing, and put the box into his pocket.

He washed his face and put on a sky blue suit jacket. In spring, Tang Tu prefers to wear green, so they should match together today.The pointer on the wall had already reached six o'clock, Ruan Youqing was a little surprised that a punctual person like Tang Tu was half an hour late and hadn't shown up yet. Last night he said that he had business to deal with today, did he get stuck?He took out his phone to contact Tang Tu, but found that the phone was not there.

Probably forgot it in the sweater pocket when I took a shower and changed clothes.

He groped back to the dirty clothes basket at the door of Jiang Jilan's bathroom, searched for a long time to no avail, and fumbled in the crevice of the sofa where he slept and the bottom of the coffee table, but still found nothing.

"Brother, have you seen my phone?" Ruan Youqing asked.

"No, have you looked in the room?" Jiang Jilan went to check near the shoe cabinet, "I'll call you, listen carefully."

Jiang Jilan turned on the hands-free, and a notification sound came from the speaker that the other party had turned off the phone.

"Could it be that the battery is out..." Ruan Youqing was a little impatient, and the function of searching for the mobile phone could not be used like this.

"Search again, think about when was the last time you used your phone today." Jiang Jilan accompanied him to rummaging through the boxes at home.

"It seems to be the driver who called your family, the one who picked me up today..." Ruan Youqing didn't think about it, "But I should have brought it back..."

"I'll ask him for you."

After getting the answer that there was no one in the car, Ruan Youqing was completely at a loss.

"Brother, please contact Tang Tu for me. Let him come over first."

"Uh, do you remember his number?"

Ruan Youqing was taken aback. He only remembered Tang Tu's domestic number. After they landed in the United States, they were inseparable. They also contacted through WeChat for a short time. The two of them changed to the local number at the airport to facilitate the Internet, and no one bothered to remember it. The next temporary number that will not be used for a few days.

Seeing Ruan Youqing in a daze, Jiang Jilan turned around and asked Qin Xiaoran who was unusually silent: "Xiaoran, do you have Tang Tu's cell phone number here?"

"No, I don't even have his domestic number. I only have Tubai's contact number. It's still dark in China at this time, so there should be no one answering."

"Then how did you contact us after we came to America?" Ruan Youqing was a little surprised.

"I've always been in contact with an email named Zhang Wenbin." Qin Xiaoran replied silently.

Zhang Wenbin...why not Xu Hanyi...this is less reliable than contacting Tubai.Zhang Wenbin was so foolish that he didn't even know what time it was when he saw the email.But just to be on the safe side, he still asked Qin Xiaoran: "Can you send him an email for me? Ask him to contact Tang Tu and tell him that I'm waiting for him in the hotel room. If possible, send a copy to Tubai's official email."

"En." Qin Xiaoran nodded.

Ruan Youqing got up and rushed to the door to change his shoes: "Brother, I'll go back to the hotel to find him. In case I miss him, tell him to come back and find me."

"Okay." Jiang Jilan hastily followed and handed him her mobile phone, "Hold my mobile phone first, otherwise we won't be able to contact you. There is Xiaoran's phone number in favorites. If you want to find me, just Dial his number."

He took the phone and ran out without looking back.

No.Neither do hotel rooms.He quickly opened Jiang Jilan's phone book and clicked on the favorite interface.

There are a total of three numbers inside, the first is DR.Garcia, the second is Dad, and the remaining one is Qin Xiaodai.

Ruan Youqing felt goosebumps all over her body for no reason, and clicked on that inexplicable nickname, and it was Jiang Jilan who answered the phone, telling him that Tang Tu hadn't passed by.

Ruan Youqing thought for a while, and tried to use Jiang Jilan's mobile phone to log in to his WeChat account, but the account protection verification popped up, and he still needed his own mobile phone...

He rushed downstairs and asked the front desk staff Tang Tu's phone number for check-in. After the other party told him that it was a guest's privacy, he tried his best to explain in his poor English the embarrassment that he lost his mobile phone and couldn't reach anyone. In fact, they were At the same time, he showed his passport to the staff. After the other party checked the occupant's information, he finally took a look at the reserved number, which turned out to be Xu Hanyi's mobile phone number.

Ruan Youqing made another international call to Xu Hanyi, but the other party hung up directly.Eighty percent of them saw strange numbers and treated them as advertisements or telecom fraud...

He rummaged through the suitcase but couldn't find the sim card that he had replaced earlier. He didn't know where it was stored by Tang Tu... For a while, he was at a loss what to do.

Their reserved meal time is two hours from seven to nine o'clock.It is a well-known Japanese restaurant in New York, and the location in front of Banqian is very popular. In order not to affect the next guests to eat, guests who do not show up for half an hour will automatically cancel the reservation and the deposit will not be refunded.

These are all written in the restaurant's reservation instructions, and the reservation will not take effect until "I understand and agree" is checked.

Ruan Youqing was a little dazed. Although she lost her mobile phone, they agreed to meet at Jiang Jilan's apartment.Even if something delayed Tang Tu, he should be in the hotel room, where else could he go?

Time passed by, and he went to the reserved Japanese grocery store to find someone with his last hope.He saw through the window that six of the eight seats in front of the board were occupied, and the remaining two seats should be his and Tang Tu's.

The person he was looking for was not here either.

Tang Tu wandered alone in front of the Japanese grocery store for an hour.

Not only did Ruan Youqing fail to attend the appointment on time, but she didn't even make a phone call.

After he finally calmed down, he gradually became anxious again.When he was in Central Park, he did a lot of mental construction. There must have been a misunderstanding. Even if it seemed outrageous, he couldn't unilaterally make a conclusion.But what does Ruan Youqing's escape at this moment indicate...

No, no.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Ruan Youqing was really shaken, he still had to listen to what the other party said to end it.

Just like Benito will have some excuses, his sentence that we are just a moment in the universe is very good for Tang Tu to understand the impossibility between them and end a relationship.

So he let go of his unnecessary pride and self-esteem of the elderly, and chose to call Ruan Youqing's cell phone, hoping to hear an explanation.

Seven or eight calls in a row were hung up directly.The last alert tone changed to The person you dialed has turned off the phone.

...He searched all over for reasons, but he couldn't think of a reason why Ruan Youqing broke the appointment and refused to contact him...Aside from being wrong and not wanting to face him, is there any other possibility?Seeing is not believing...he kept reminding himself.

The street lights came on one after another before the sky completely disappeared, illuminating another bustling night in New York together with the neon lights and traffic flow.

It was half past seven in 10 minutes, and if Ruan Youqing didn't show up, their dinner reservation would be cancelled.

So he went in, and with the help of the waiter, he found the foreman who was handling the work in the corner, and asked him if it was possible to extend the time. There are other guests. If necessary, I can help you make a reservation for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"Then can I borrow your bathroom?" Tang Tu asked.

"Of course, the bathroom is upstairs, please feel free."

Tang Tu walked upstairs slowly, washed his face with cold water in front of the mirror, wiped off the water on his face with a sterilized towel that smelled of incense, and then went downstairs slowly, but he couldn't calm down his mood no matter what.He couldn't stop imagining the scene of Ruan Youqing talking about Jiang Jilan pulling him into his arms.

After the appointment time, he walked down the street to Central Park.In the Strawberry Field commemorating John Lennon, two young people sat on the ground playing guitar and singing, each of which was a Beatles classic, and at the climax of the song, there were onlookers humming along softly.

Tang Tu didn't have any change with him, so he had to throw a 20 dollar bill into the two young men's open guitar case, where there were already some coins and small bills.

He chose a seat and sat down as an audience, giving himself some time and a possibility.

He forced himself to believe that Ruan Youqing would come to him, explain the whole story to him, and reprimand him for not trusting him and thinking wildly.

It was almost ten o'clock, the park was silent, the tourists dispersed, the dog walker left, the singer put away his guitar, he got up and moved his stiff body and walked back to the hotel.

Swipe the card to open the door, and the person sitting in the middle of the sofa facing him is Jiang Jilan with a gloomy face.

--------------------

Since then, Ruan Youqing has learned that the mobile phone should not be out of sight.
