Glass Butterfly

"You didn't tell me in advance when Mr. Tang came, really, I don't know what you like to eat." Grandpa hurriedly arranged for the dinner.

"He likes to eat these." Ruan Youqing gave Tang Tu a seat on the half of the table where there were light vegetarian dishes.

"That's good, that's good." With that said, the old man opened a bottle of white wine, filled two small wine cups, and handed a glass to Tang Tu.The latter took the transparent wine cup and drank it without hesitation, and returned another glass without saying anything.

"Originally, this kid said he was going to bring his girlfriend back for dinner, but he is so grown up that he can't understand what he is saying." Grandpa blushed, "It's all fresh fish from the cold chain this morning, try it quickly."

Tang Tu laughed and chatted with him. After a few rounds of drinking, Grandpa asked casually, "Does Mr. Tang have any arrangements for coming to our place?"

"Isn't it that you want to meet him for a meal?" Ruan Youqing didn't drink, and filled a soup bowl with a few spoonfuls to dry for Tang Tu.

"Huh? When will I..." When Grandpa finally understood what was going on in front of him, they had already finished a third of their meals.The old man withdrew his chopsticks resentfully, glanced at his silent daughter beside him, his expression gradually became serious, "This, this..."

As the saying goes, reach out and don't hit a smiling person.

Especially a smiling person like Tang Tu who behaved politely and spoke softly and politely.He is a successful person who appears in magazines and TV shows from time to time, and is a tenacious vine entangled in Ruan Youqing's future career.

"What, you, you stay with Mr. Tang first." Although his mentality has collapsed, Grandpa still does his best on the surface.After giving Yang Liu a word of advice, she turned her head and said in a low voice to the nonchalant grandson, "Come in with me."

Ruan Youqing noticed that Tang Tu's knee was stiff when he touched him, and then lightly patted the man's thigh under the table to indicate that he was fine, got up and followed Grandpa into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

"Tell me, what's going on." Grandpa kicked over the wool blanket packing box on the floor in front of the door, went straight to the bed and sat down.The not-so-old bed creaked, representing the old man's lingering anger.

Ruan Youqing bowed and helped up the woolen blanket that had slipped into the corner, walked up to grandpa and sat beside him, pretending to stretch out his palm: "I'll call you."

The old man patted his hand away, with a look of incomprehension: "Isn't he your boss? Didn't you say you want to bring a girlfriend?"

"I said to bring someone back. You were the one who said the girlfriend." Ruan Youqing knew that although her grandfather said he was too lazy to care, she naturally hoped that he would have a girlfriend by his side.

"You! Then you are contradicting me!" Grandpa closed his eyes, his eyebrows trembled with the nearby veins, "Ruan Youqing, you are not 15 years old now, I am old, I have no right, and I don't have the strength to put you down." Throw it out. Your mother will not say anything, she must feel that she has no position. But you have to be responsible for your own life."

"Well. I'll take charge."

"Why do you want to talk to him...to be together? Tsk. Why don't you want to find a girl?" It seemed that talking about the relationship between two men would burn his mouth, and the grandfather repeatedly tsk him in disgust. , "Are you voluntary?"

"I don't like girls." Ruan Youqing felt that the old man had tried his best to control his emotions, so he stopped teasing him, but asked seriously, "Grandpa, do you think I didn't do it voluntarily?"

"That's right. Heh. I've been obsessed since I was a child. If you don't want to, no one can force you." When the old man sighed, his chest collapsed. Even his thick winter clothes couldn't cover his increasingly thin body. He seemed to have lost his fate.

"Grandpa. He's good. He's good to me."

"Well, isn't it good? You're so rich and talented." Grandpa suddenly turned his head and gave him a strange look, "Are you...raised by him?"

"..." Ruan Youqing almost choked on her own saliva, "cough, cough, cough... I didn't..."

"Forget it. Don't ask. It's not interesting." The old man stood up, straightened the collar of his shirt in his sweater, got up and walked out.Ruan Youqing seldom saw him dressed like this, and when he saw that he had deliberately prepared for this meal, he immediately regretted that he hadn't informed him in advance.

"Grandpa." Before opening the door, he grabbed the big hand that had protected him since he was a child, and his skin had already begun to wrinkle and dry. "I am very happy now." After he finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed, but he did not let go. open hands.

Grandpa turned around slowly, as if he couldn't believe that such words came out of his mouth, he froze for a long time before opening his mouth: "Ah? Lucky, happy. Oh, then, let's do it."

When their grandparents returned to the dining table, Yang Liu's face was cloudy and uncertain, looking at the old and the young with anxiety, not daring to speak easily.Tang Tu, on the other hand, took the initiative to pick up the small wine cup and patiently waited for Grandpa to clink his glasses.It was hard to refuse him because of the calmness he had cultivated over the years at the wine table. Grandpa drank several glasses without thinking, until Ruan Youqing told him to stop: "You guys eat vegetables. Don't drink anymore."

He was worried that Tang Tu would not be able to drink baijiu, so he replaced the wine bottle on the table with a teapot. Grandpa's face turned red, and he obviously drank it: "Mr. Tang, you really have a good eye. I brought up young Well, those people always look down on him because they see that his ears are not good. But I know that he has been smart since he was a child, and he can learn things faster than others even if he can't hear, as long as he is interested in it."

Tang Tu nodded while serving vegetables to the old man, carefully picking out the fishbone.

"Those who look down on my grandson, I don't care about getting in touch with them." The old man slammed his wine glass back on the table hard, "This kind of person will send you good words from time to time. I hope that you will not be too good."

"Dad, don't say a few words. Eat vegetables..." Yang Liu was a little embarrassed, and looked at Tang Tu apologetically.The latter just accompanied the wine with a smile and listened to his grandfather complaining about the parents' incompetence.It seems that no one has asked him to talk about this for a long time.

"Mr. Tang, Youqing now has his own business and has been published in a magazine. Thanks to your help. I am very grateful to you. But, we ordinary people are not as good as you who grew up in foreign countries. You have money People are well-informed. I read interviews with young youths in magazines, saying that he is persistent, but in fact, it is hard to say that he is, very stubborn. If you give him a little sweetness, he can stick around for a lifetime. He can't afford these things... "Grandpa frowned.

"Grandpa, we didn't play. We are very serious, otherwise we wouldn't have come to see you, would we?" Tang Tu added a cup of tea, stuffed the azure Yuanrong cup into his hand, and urged without changing his expression, " Have a couple of sips first."

The old man really raised his head and drank the tea: "Mr. Tang..."

"You can call me Xiao Tang or Tang Tu, don't call me Mr."

"Little Tang, this kid is twisted, and he doesn't want to turn back after hitting the south wall. I knew this when I beat him when he was a teenager." The old man said with tears in his eyes, "I didn't put him Take good care of him, he didn't look like a child when he was young, and he doesn't look like an adult when he grows up... He doesn't like to talk to us, neither I nor his mother can control him..."

"Don't worry, Grandpa, I can take care of him. I will definitely take care of him for you." Following Yang Liu's withdrawal, Tang Tu moved to Grandpa's side.

Ruan Youqing glanced at her mother who had fled to the balcony to make a phone call, and silently ate with her rice bowl, watching her drunken grandpa lose his temper.

After drinking, the old man simply put down his chopsticks and served Tang Tu's tricky grandson 20 years ago.

"I won't be staying here tonight, and I agreed to accompany Pinyue to buy clothes tomorrow."

"It's so late?" Ruan Youqing glanced at the time, it was 09:30.Grandpa, overwhelmed by alcohol, has gone back to his room to rest.

"It's okay, there's a bus to Haixi after ten o'clock, the ticket is bought, and Pinyue's father will pick me up there."

"Okay, then I'll take you to the station."

The night wind was as sharp as a knife, he carefully wrapped the scarf for Yang Liuzai, and warned, "Don't fall asleep in the car."

"Youqing. How long have you been with Mr. Tang?" Yang Liu, who was at the table, was silent all this time, and now he was finally able to talk.

"It's been almost two years." Ruan Youqing knew what she wanted to ask, "I like him very much. We have a good life and are very happy. Don't worry."

"Mom can only rest assured about you." Yang Liu sighed, turned and hugged him, "As long as you live the life you want."

When I got home, there was the sound of running water in the bathroom, and the dining table had been cleaned up.

After taking a shower, Tang Tu gave him the bathroom, and got into the narrow quilt first.

Ruan Youqing tidied it up. Looking at the 1.2-meter-wide bed, it was more than enough for one person, but it was a bit crowded for two people. Tang Tu slept on his side, leaving him most of the space. He lifted the quilt and stuck it on it without hesitation.

The man turned over and kissed him viscously. Ruan Youqing guessed right, he was used to wine on weekdays, so liquor was still too much for him.

"Uncomfortable?" He tasted a hint of alcohol left in the peppermint toothpaste.

"It's so spicy." Tang Tu said sullenly, "The wine made my tongue burn, but your toothpaste is even hotter than the wine."

Ruan Youqing smiled: "Why do you drink so much?"

"Your grandpa looks like I cheated my baby away, how dare I not drink it." Tang Tu turned over and lay on his back, looking at the ceiling in the dark, "Actually, he shouldn't be living at home today. It's the first time he's officially That's how we met, Grandpa will be even more unhappy tomorrow."

"No. It's rare for someone to chat with him." Ruan Youqing reached out and closed his eyelids, "Go to sleep, I'll take you out tomorrow."

He deliberately got up early, went out to buy breakfast, and when he returned, the other two were still awake.

Ruan Youqing gently pushed the grandfather's bedroom door open a crack, and found that the old man had secretly unpacked the woolen blanket they brought back yesterday, and put a thin but warm gray blanket on top of the quilt.

He heated up the breakfast three or four times before the two woke up one after another. Grandpa was obviously a little uncomfortable, wondering if he regretted his gaffe after drinking last night.

After the meal, Ruan Youqing wanted to clean up the dishes, but was hurriedly sent out by her grandfather: "Put it there. You go out and do your work."

"Then let's come back before dinner." Ruan Youqing told grandpa, "Don't make spicy things, put less salt."
