Glass Butterfly

The moment Jiang Jilan saw him, she bounced off the sofa, her eyes averted a little: "Tang Tu, You Qing just sent you a message, you, did you see it..."

Tang Tu held the phone in his hand, and he nodded, "I just saw it." Fortunately, Ruan Youqing is not a prodigal like Benito after all, and he did not catch her in bed again.

But the moment Jiang Jilan avoided his sight, the uneasiness that had haunted him for several days was finally torn off the seal, sending chills down his spine.

"Then, I won't bother you, I'll go back first." After finishing speaking, the man left in a hurry without even saying goodbye.

Ruan Youqing rushed out of the bedroom when he heard the conversation, and the two looked at each other. Tang Tu saw him heaving a sigh of relief: "Where did you go..."

His tone was rather complaining. Tang Tu felt exhausted and disappointed. He kicked off his shoes, freed his toes that had started to swell after a few hours of walking, left a sentence to say later, and then plunged into the bathroom.

Ruan Youqing saw that Tang Tu had returned safely, and her heart that had been hanging all night finally returned to its original place.

Holding the mobile phone that Jiang Jilan had just sent back, he was puzzled.

The other party said that Qin Xiaoran found the phone in the bathroom, but they obviously couldn't find it after searching several times in the afternoon.The most strange thing is that although the remaining power is not much, the mobile phone that was turned off before is now turned on.And just now Jiang Jilan seemed to be telling him something, but was interrupted by Tang Tu's sudden appearance and left in a hurry... His originally chaotic thoughts suddenly became knotted, and everything was hard to understand.

But right now, none of that matters.

Although he was in a mess that night, he didn't finish his dinner, Tang Tu disappeared and reappeared inexplicably, and his mood was extremely depressed, but there was no danger at all, and they still had time to continue celebrating their birthday.Ruan Youqing calmed down, took out the tie box, patted the pillow on Tang Tu's side to smooth out the wrinkles, and put the small box in the middle.

The man returned to the bedroom after taking a shower, glanced at the pillow indifferently and did not open the surprise.

"Happy birthday." Ruan Youqing leaned in front of him, hugged the steaming Tang Tu, "Open it and see?"

"Thank you." Tang Tu lowered his eyes and transferred the box to the bedside table casually. He dodged his whisper in a dispirited manner, stretched out his hand to push him away to keep a distance, and sat on the bedside in silence for a while before speaking, "You have nothing to say to me." What did I say?"

"Yes... Where did you go? I have been looking for you for a long time. If you don't come back, I will call the embassy for help."

"Ruan Youqing...why did you hang up on my phone? Why did you turn off the phone. Why didn't you go to the restaurant to meet me." Tang Tu interrupted his complaints, finally willing to raise his eyes to look at him.

Ruan Youqing was a little confused by the question, and he instinctively said, "I don't." The next moment Tang Tu frowned, looking at him with extremely disappointed eyes.

A bold conjecture suddenly rose in his heart, and Ruan Youqing suddenly realized something when he thought of Jiang Jilan's strange look that was ashamed to speak, and Qin Xiaoran's gaffe at the gate of the hospital ward in the early morning of the day before yesterday.

He took his mobile phone and clicked on the call history, and Tang Tu's number he couldn't remember was at the top, followed by a bracket, and the number in the bracket was 9.

He did hang up Tang Tu's call, Jiutong.

"...No." Ruan Youqing didn't know how to explain.He needs to verify the truth with Jiang Jilan and Qin Xiaoran, but at the moment he can only tell what he has already confirmed, "I can't find my phone this afternoon, so I couldn't contact you in time. But I asked Qin Xiaoran to give Zhang Wenbin and Tubai Send an email and let anyone of them see it and contact you as soon as possible."

Tang Tu was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head suspiciously and opened Tu Bai's public mailbox with his mobile phone. His lost eyes lit up like fluorescent lamps with unstable voltage, and then dimmed again.

There are only three emails today, none of which have anything to do with them.Ruan Youqing didn't give up, snatched the phone and went through the ad blocker and trash can, but there was nothing there, he didn't even let go of the recently deleted emails.Tang Tu sent Zhang Wenbin another WeChat message asking if he had received any emails, and within half a minute Zhang Wenbin replied: No, boss, what's wrong?

Ruan Youqing's heart sank.

That's right, Qin Xiaoran clearly agreed to him, but he didn't fulfill his promise.This also indirectly confirmed that his conjecture was most likely correct. Why Tang Tu's call was hung up on Jiutong, why the phone was turned off before it was exhausted... It was not an accident that his phone disappeared...

"Forget it. We forgot about these things. Forget it." Tang Tu smiled miserably, "Youqing, stop talking."

He didn't even think of half a reason to trick him, so what was Ruan Youqing doing during these few hours?

Did Jiang Jilan come in just now? Did he enter their bedroom?Have they kissed, how many times have they kissed, are they not even willing to make up an excuse to deal with him... Was Jiang Jilan's sad expression just now because he couldn't face his guilt...

Yes, yes.Ruan Youqing will not lie.He never lied, that's why he couldn't justify...

Tang Tu wrapped himself tightly with a quilt, why was he still so worthless in the end.When Mingming made up his mind to be with Ruan Youqing, he told himself that he was ready for Ruan Youqing to leave him at any time, but when this moment came, he still couldn't bear it.

"I can explain. Let's go see brother tomorrow... see Jiang Jilan and Qin Xiaoran, let's sit down and have a good talk." Ruan Youqing patted his arm through the quilt, "Tang Tu, trust me. I didn't hang up your phone... "

"That's enough, Youqing." He couldn't pretend anymore, and he lifted the quilt to let the other party see his embarrassment and frustration at this time. Anyway, he has no secrets in front of this person, "I don't blame you. I understand Yes, so I'm willing to give you back to him, I'll give you back to him...I admit defeat...but please don't be so cruel to me...don't let me see them again..."

Ruan Youqing's eyes widened: "You, what are you talking about..."

"I'm a boring person, I can't be a good lover, I know that. I believe we loved, so now you have other choices, and I'm willing to let you go. It's not your fault..." It's a joke of fate.Tang Tu wiped away the tears that kept pouring out, "As long as you are willing, Tubai will still be your agent gallery. Of course, compared with China, the art and artwork industry in the United States is much more mature and perfect. If you find a better The way out wants to leave, and Tubai will never do anything to embarrass you." He took a deep breath, and instantly recovered his expression when he was wearing a suit and facing the crowd, and he even tried his best to hang himself up. Smile, he has practiced many times in front of the mirror, the impeccable smile, "Young Qing, let's show respect to each other, shall we?"

He once again challenged the artist's world beyond his capacity, but this time the dream was more real and lasted longer, so it hurt more.He would rather have another tattoo done than bear the colic that runs through his internal organs.

"You..." Ruan Youqing finally understood what Tang Tu was saying.Every word was very clear, and Tang Tu habitually slowed down his speech at this time.Tang Tu used soft words, he said that I would give you back to him.He said I would let you go.

But he is not an object, and his feelings are not decided by others.

"Do you think I don't love you now? I'm going to love someone else?" He couldn't believe it. It took only half a day for Tang Tu to come to such a conclusion.

"Maybe there is still love. But I told you in the past, I don't want to share love with others, and I don't want to suffer from such uncertainty. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made the decision not to fall in love with the artist " Tang Tu's voice became calmer, "But I can't ask others like that. I understand."

"You're angry. Don't make decisions when you're angry." Ruan Youqing knew that he wasn't in a good condition, and when he heard Tang Tu say this, he couldn't control the surge of energy and blood, and his eyes felt dizzy with anxiety and annoyance. Hei, he also really wanted to refute a few words quickly. He wanted to ask Tang Tu all the way, did he not even have the most basic trust? He has been busy for a birthday gift since yesterday, so what he got now is not A gentle night, is it actually a sentence that we show respect to each other?

But if they continue to talk at this time, the situation will definitely get worse, and they all need to calm down.Tang Tu had already said angry words, and he was really cut by those words. Even though he knew that the other party was furious and unscrupulous, he still couldn't help the pain. His heart hurt like a needle in his temple.So he chose to bite his mouth tightly to avoid bringing the same harm to the other party.

So he hugged his own pillow and pushed open the bedroom door, threw it on the sofa outside, and lay down heavily on it.

With his eyes closed, he couldn't calm down when he heard the long sighs in the bedroom, so he took off his hearing aid first, trying to calmly reorganize what happened today in his mind.

From Tang Tu's point of view, thinking about the most extreme possibility, even if he thinks that he deliberately let go of the pigeon and didn't go to the appointment, he will not suddenly come to the conclusion that he doesn't love him.What's more, between the lines of Tang Tu's words, he kept asserting that his relationship with Jiang Jilan was unusual, and even thought that he gave his love to others, which was outrageous.

So apart from the disappearance of the phone, there must be something happening that he doesn't know about, and he will ask one by one tomorrow.

Ruan Youqing sighed, he had never been so close to others, he had no experience, no comparison, no reference, so he could only guess so much...

But... that's Tang Tu... the person who loves him the most in the whole world and gives him inexhaustible tenderness and protection, even if there is any misunderstanding, blame him, even scold him and beat him, how could he? Thinking that she doesn't love him, how could she say the words to admit defeat and give up... Ruan Youqing pressed her numb chest and smiled wryly.It's obviously that person's birthday, how could it be like this...

There were no curtains on the window in the living room, and when the sun came into the room, he was woken up by the sun.

When he propped up his body, his head was still a little dizzy, and he suddenly realized that there was an extra layer of quilt on his body.But there is only one quilt in this room.

Ruan Youqing jumped off the sofa and rushed into the bedroom, the bed was clean, only the gift box by the bed was still where it was last night.

Back in the living room, he opened the cabinet, and Tang Tu's luggage was gone.Only one note remains:

I go back to work.Take your time, contact Zhang Wenbin anytime if you need it, he will turn it on 24 hours a day.

Ruan Youqing silently folded the quilt, packed her suitcase, carefully checked that nothing was left behind, and went to the front desk to check out.

The staff took back the room card but did not accept his credit card: "The room fee has been settled, you can leave directly."

"Thank you." He dragged the box all the way downstairs to Jiang Jilan's house, and rang the doorbell.

The two people in the room were even more embarrassed than he looked, especially Qin Xiaoran, one of the corners of his mouth and cheeks was swollen, and the reddish finger marks hadn't disappeared yet.

It is really hard to imagine that Jiang Jilan's frighteningly thin arm has such strength.

"Where is Tang Turen..." Jiang Jilan's pale complexion made the dark circles under his eyes extraordinarily heavy, and when he saw his empty back, he immediately stepped forward, his voice trembling.

"Let's go while I'm asleep."

"...Youqing...I'm sorry..." Jiang Jilan gasped, her eyes turned red.

"It's not you who did it. I'm sorry for what you said." Qin Xiaoran snatched the words and walked across to Ruan Youqing with a blank expression, "Yesterday Tang Tu came to look for you, just when you were about to wake up, he glanced at the bedroom and turned around. Just go, let me tell you to meet at the restaurant."

Ruan Youqing reluctantly moved his confused mind, and vaguely remembered the scene when he woke up on the sofa yesterday, and the scene where Jiang Jilan was dragged by Tang Tu in a daze.

God seemed to be against him on purpose, a few seconds of movement happened to be seen by Tang Tu, and he misunderstood him.

Ruan Youqing didn't rush to make trouble, but waited patiently for Qin Xiaoran's next words.

"I took your mobile phone. I took it while you were taking a shower. I originally threw your clothes into the laundry basket for you." Qin Xiaoran sighed and continued, "He called a few times, and I hung up on them all. .” Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Qin Xiaoran said, “That’s all.”

"There is a question." The key question was not explained, and Ruan Youqing took the initiative to ask, "Do you know why he said 'I am willing to give you back to him'?"

Jiang Jilan opened her eyes wide, and looked at Qin Xiaoran together with him, obviously it was the first time he heard this sentence.

"...I know. Because I asked him a question on the first day I saw him, and later when Brother Jilan entered the hospital, and when he left yesterday." Qin Xiaoran avoided Jiang Jilan's questioning Looking straight into Ruan Youqing's eyes, "I asked him, would he return you to Brother Jilan?"

... The three people in the room didn't look at each other. After a while, Ruan Youqing's ears began to whine without warning, and his mind went blank with anger.He gave a wry smile, only to realize that he didn't know how to swear at all.

That's right.All problems can be explained.

"Young, young...I, I'm not..." Jiang Jilan was more flustered than the culprit, and started to touch the phone, "I'll explain to Tang Tu and ask Xiaoran to apologize."

"Brother, I'm not angry with you... I was angry for a while last night, and I'm not angry now. Don't call, Tang Tu should be on the plane now..." He took a step closer to Qin Xiaoran, "You, like someone, You can't treat him too much, but you can't do it at the cost of hurting others. Besides, you can't force your feelings. Brother, you will always be brother. To be honest, Qin Xiaoran, this is too childish. I can't forgive you, but I know You must be uncomfortable too. The wound on your face wasn’t caused by my brother.” The width of the slap print was wrong, “It’s also my fault for being stupid... I think you are from my own family..."

After such a fuss, none of them got cheap.Jiang Jilan regretted and blamed himself, and Tang Tu ran away from him with bruises all over his body, but he was also full of grievances.

"Oh. Forget it." He waved his hand: "Brother, take care, I'm going back. Take good care of him, next time he is such an asshole, I will definitely beat him up."

"Youqing, wait a moment, I'll let the driver take you." Jiang Jilan chased after him and shouted.

"I'll go by myself." He was not used to getting angry, so he didn't know how to relieve it for a while, but at this moment he didn't want to talk to anyone, didn't want to hear anyone's apology, and just wanted to go home quickly.
