MTL - Butterfly and Whale-Chapter 14 puppy
"Are we really going to camp on the beach at night?" Hu Die, who followed him back from the hospital at Jing Yue's house, asked this question three times within half an hour after hearing his evening arrangements.
Jing Yu took the clothes she had just changed after taking a shower, poked her on the forehead with one free hand, and pushed her away from her eyes: "Yes, yes, yes, it's okay if you ask again."
"But I've never been camping before. What should I bring? Clothes? Food? Or something?"
"You don't need to bring anything." Jing Yu threw the clothes into the washing machine, stooped to pick up the washing powder from the floor and poured it into it. Looking back at Hu Die, he raised his finger and pointed to the position of his temple: "Just take this with you." .”
Hu Die couldn't help grinding her teeth, and squeezed out from between her teeth: "Okay."
Jing Yue looked at her angrily walking away, and couldn't help laughing when he looked away.
He closed the lid of the washing machine and pressed the start button, and the old washing machine slowly "clanged and clanged".
Accompanied by this sound, Jing Yue didn't hear Mo Hai entering the house, and was bumped into his chest as soon as he went out.
Jing Yue was completely unprepared, his back hit the wall, and the hand subconsciously looking for a support accidentally knocked a glass cup on the countertop to the ground, making a very crisp shattering sound.
Hu Die was originally sitting on the foam mat on the floor of the living room, but when she heard the noise, she didn't care to put on her shoes, so she walked over barefoot: "What's wrong?"
Jing Yue rubbed his shoulders and stood up: "It's okay, go put on your shoes, there are broken glass on the ground."
"Oh." Hu Die went back to put on her shoes, and Jing Yu comforted Mo Hai that he was fine, and asked him if he had packed his things.
Mo Hai must have been frightened, his voice was not as energetic as before, "It's all ready..."
Jing Yue rubbed his head: "Okay, I'm fine, go sit and go out later."
After putting on her shoes, Hu Die watched Mo Hai go and sit beside the sofa. She walked quickly to Jing Yue's side and asked in a low voice, "Will Mo Hai go camping at night?"
"Yeah." Jing Yu looked up at her: "Why, you don't want to take him there?"
"How is it possible?" Hu Die denied one after another: "I didn't think so."
Jing Yue let out a breathy laugh: "Really, I thought you wanted to..."
"What are you thinking?" Hu Die looked at him with a narrow expression, and couldn't help but clicked her tongue: "Brother Jing Yue, you have turned bad."
"Why did it go bad? I just wanted to ask if you want to stay at home for your birthday." Jing Yu stood up holding the broken glass: "What do you think I'm thinking?"
"I—" Hu Die couldn't get angry, and cursed: "Liar."
Jing Yue really laughed out loud: "No, why did I become a liar again?"
"Who just said it this afternoon." Hu Die cleared her throat and deliberately lowered her voice: "I won't do it in the future."
After finishing speaking, he resumed his original voice: "Nothing?"
Then he continued to suppress his voice and said, "I won't make you angry anymore."
Jing Yue: "..."
Lifting a rock and hitting one's own foot really hurts.
Hu Die managed to pull back a victory, and bounced back to the living room with small steps. Jing Yu didn't know what she said to Mo Hai, and when he finished packing and came in again, the two of them were already sitting on the ground playing with the military flag.
He looked out, it was still bright in the evening, and he was not in a hurry to go out. When he went upstairs, he packed some things and went downstairs with his schoolbag.
"When are we going out?" Hu Die and Mo Hai's chess game broke up. She sat on the ground and leaned back on the sofa: "What shall we have for dinner?"
"Go out at seven." Jing Yue tapped his phone, "What do you want to eat?"
"Wanting to eat and being able to eat are two concepts."
Jing Yu raised his head: "Understood."
"When you know something, you know...?" Hu Die looked at him: "When I'm talking to you, my head is almost turned into the 18th bend of the mountain road, and I still can't keep up with your logic."
Jing Yue lazily leaned against the back of the sofa, looking down at her slightly: "What do you think about so much when you're with me, I won't trick you into lying to you."
"But you'll be mad at me."
"..."
When it was almost seven o'clock, Jing Yue took the two children out of the house, Hu Die and Mo Hai played a game of stepping on shadows, and walked in front of them.
He carried his schoolbag on one shoulder, and Mo Hai's schoolbag in his hand, and slowly followed behind the two of them.
The sea breeze that has been exposed to the sun during the day is humid and warm. Under the shade of the trees, the branches and leaves are fanning, and the sound of cicadas is like a surround sound, hidden deeper in the shade of the trees.
Hu Die hadn't gone out for a long time, and when she went out for the first time, she still felt a bit of freshness, jumping up and down, laughing and looking back at Jing Yue, vivid and fresh.
"Brother Jingyu."
"Um?"
"Today is my birthday, do you have anything to give me?"
Jing Yue walked slowly, and with a distance of three or four meters away from her, he said in a calm voice, "I give you three wishes."
Hu Die burst into laughter: "Are you playing the Condor Heroes with me?"
"what?"
"Yang Guo gave Guo Xiang three golden needles, and promised her to grant her three wishes without violating the morals of the world." Hu Die has a strong sense of balance, and she doesn't feel uncomfortable walking backwards: "You said you gave me three wishes, then Do you want to give me three gold needles too?"
"I don't have golden needles." Jing Yue said, "But I will do what I say."
"Empty words are useless." Hu Die stopped in her tracks, waited for him to come to her, stretched out her hand and said, "Take a hook."
Jing Yue looked down at her raised hand, and after a while, he raised his hand to hook her little finger, and Hu Die continued: "Hang yourself on the hook, and you can't change it for a hundred years. Whoever changes it is a puppy."
Jing Yue was amused by her childish behavior, but he didn't let go of his hand, allowing her to hook around.
After Hu Die finished speaking, she raised her thumb and stamped against him: "Okay!"
The moment the fingers were released, there was still warmth from each other where they were touching before, Jing Yu unconsciously rubbed his thumbs: "Let's go."
The place to eat at night is by the sea, an open-air music restaurant, all the dining tables and chairs are placed on the beach, and there is a simple stage in the middle, where resident singers come to perform at night.
Jing Yu made a reservation in advance, and when they passed by, the restaurant was almost full, and there were tourists waiting by the fence at the entrance.
When she was seated, Hu Die saw Jing Yue put her schoolbag on the seat alone, and couldn't help being curious: "What did you put in this bag?"
"I need it at night." Jing Yu didn't want her to ask any more questions, so he took the menu and handed it over: "Look, what do you want to eat?"
"Oh." Hu Die took the menu, Mo Hai also leaned over, she turned her head and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
Mo Hai happily said: "Shrimp! Prawn!"
"Okay, let me see where the shrimp is."
Before Hu Die could find it, Mo Hai said again: "The fifth line in the lower right corner of the fourth page!"
"Hey." Hu Die turned to the fifth page, "How do you remember it so clearly, it seems that you often come here to eat, right?"
Mo Hai nodded heavily: "Yeah! Brother brought me to eat, it's delicious!"
Hu Die looked up at Jing Yue who was sitting across from him playing with his mobile phone, and secretly asked Mo Hai, "Did brother only bring you here?"
Mo Hai didn't understand what she meant, and repeated: "Brother brought me here."
"Has brother ever brought other girls here?"
Jing Yue's eyelids twitched when he listened to the two with his ears upright, and he raised his eyes to look over: "Is the order ready?"
"I haven't read the menu yet." Hu Die erected the menu, blocking Jing Yue's sight, "Look, my brother brought me and you here for dinner today, did my brother bring you and other sisters here for dinner before? "
"Brother..." Mo Hai scratched his face, just about to say something, when he looked up and saw Jing Yue standing up, he didn't dare to say anything.
Jing Yue dragged a chair and sat beside Hu Die: "What are you talking about?"
Hu Die was startled by him, put down the menu, scratched his forehead on purpose to block his gaze, and muttered: "It's nothing to talk about, I'm just asking Mo Hai what to eat, besides prawns, what else do you want to eat ?”
Mo Hai whispered, "Green plum wine."
"Ah, your child can't drink." Hu Die noticed that Jing Yue was still staring at her, and felt nervous. She didn't even look at the menu, so she quickly ticked off a few dishes: "I've ordered, you can take a look again." , I'm going to the bathroom to wash my hands."
After she finished speaking, before Jing Yue could speak, she stood up abruptly. Before she could take a step, someone grabbed her wrist from behind.
The boy's palm temperature was very high, Hu Die didn't know whether she was afraid or ashamed, she couldn't help but shivered: "What's wrong?"
Jing Yu let go of his hands, "There is no bathroom here."
"what?"
Jing Yu didn't look at her, picked up the pen, looked at the menu and said, "Mo Hai, take my sister to the public toilet."
Mo Hai obediently responded, "Oh."
Just as the two were about to leave, they heard Jing Yue say from behind: "Be good, don't spoil the children."
The sand under her feet was too soft, Hu Die staggered, and without thinking about what to say, she dragged Mo Hai out quickly.
When I came back again, there were two more dishes on the table, both of which were cold dishes, one meat and one vegetarian.
Hu Die saw two small bottles of plum wine placed on Mo Hai's seat: "He is so young, can he drink?"
"He can drink better than you." Jing Yu picked up a bottle of cold beer, knocked it on the edge of the table, the bottle cap fell to the ground with a "boo", and a little white mist came out of the bottle mouth.
He bent down to pick up the bottle cap, suddenly thought of something, and put his hand in front of Hu Die.
Hu Die took a look and saw the words "Thank you for your patronage" printed on the bottle cap. She picked it up and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Token." Jing Yue quickly opened two more bottles of beer and handed them to Hu Die.
Hu Die was surprised to find that "one more bottle" was printed on one of the bottle caps. She smiled and asked, "Does this mean that I can have another wish?"
Jing Yue raised his wine glass to his lips, and looked sideways at her. The warm yellow light on the beach made his brows look like a film-like filter.
He slightly raised his head and drank the beer in the glass. When he put down the glass, he said in a low voice: "Yes."
Hu Die wrapped the bottle cap with a napkin: "Can I have any wish?"
"Yeah." Jing Yue thought of something, and turned to look at her again: "But—"
"Um?"
"I sell my art, not my body."
Hu Die: "..."
Hu Die: "Hehe, thank you."
Jing Yue raised his eyebrows and smiled, his appearance was a bit seductive, "Why, don't you just gossip about whether I brought other girls here for dinner, I wonder if you have any thoughts about me, right?"
For some reason, Hu Die's heartbeat quickened suddenly, and her eyes also became dodgy: "Does the gossip mean that they have thoughts about you?"
"Then you don't?"
He continued following her words, and felt inappropriate only after he finished speaking.
Both of them were silent, and the atmosphere became inexplicably strange and ambiguous.
Jing Yu drank the wine dryly: "Let's eat."
Hu Die: "Oh."
At eight o'clock, the restaurant's band began to perform, and the boys' deep voices echoed around the beach. After singing, some people cheered and applauded.
The band sang for about half an hour, and Hu Die found that some diners came to the stage to order songs, and sang to XX by herself.
That voice was far from that of a professional lead singer, but it doesn't matter whether the song sounds good or not at this moment.
It's about the heart and the person who sings.
Seeing her fascinated by staring at the stage, Jing Yue asked in a low voice, "Want to sing?"
"How is it possible." Hu Die picked up a chopstick of cold clam meat, "If I sing, no one will dare to come in this shop."
Jing Yue laughed, finished his glass of wine, looked up at the boy on the stage who had just finished singing, and suddenly said, "Let me sing you a song."
"Ah?" Before Hu Die could react, he had already stood up. She was afraid that he had drunk too much, so she hurriedly followed him: "Hey! Jing Yue!"
Jing Yu looked back at her: "What's wrong?"
"Are you really singing?" Hu Die said, "Did you drink too much?"
"Yes." Jing Yue said, "But I'm sober."
Hu Die muttered: "People who are drunk will say they are sober."
Jing Yue looked at her, and suddenly leaned over to her, the boy's handsome face suddenly magnified in front of her eyes, full of impact.
Hu Die couldn't help but leaned back: "You..."
Jing Yue didn't say much, just stared at it for two or three seconds and then straightened up: "Don't worry, I just drank too much, but I wasn't drunk."
He walked a few steps, then turned around suddenly: "And—"
Hu Die was still immersed in the beautification shock just now, and only then did she recover when she heard him say again: "What?"
The boy stood in the dim light, and the sea breeze blew his wide white T, like a bulging sail, directly hitting her heart.
"I haven't brought other girls here for dinner." He stopped where he was, paused for a second after saying this, and said, "Not only here, but no other place."
Hu Die wanted to laugh inexplicably, not because he thought his actions were funny, but because of the joy in his heart: "Got it."
"Um."
Hu Die watched as Jing Yue walked to the side of the stage to communicate with the band members, and only returned to his seat when he sat in front of the stage with his guitar in his arms.
The lead singer of the band helped him adjust the position of the microphone stand, and took a smaller microphone stand and placed it at the same height as the guitar in his arms.
The voices of people around were gradually boiling like water in a kettle because of Jing Yue's appearance.
Jing Yu raised his hand and pressed down the microphone stand in front of him, and hooked the strings with his fingers.
After testing the sound, he looked up at Hu Die, said nothing, plucked the strings with his slender fingers, and began to sing in a low voice.
"When the world is ready to abandon me,
Like a wound left in a lonely wilderness.
I began to doubt whether my existence was meaningful,
In the eyes of others, I seem to have become invisible.
Could it be that if you fail, you will never turn over,
Who will save the fallen souls.
Every time I see you, my heart is so peaceful,
Like a butterfly flying over ruins,
I can live again, I have my courage again. "
…
His singing voice was a little lower than usual, with tenderness, and the colorful lights of the stage fell over, embellishing his overly handsome face.
There were uncontrollable rustling movements all around.
Hu Die felt her own rapid heartbeat amidst the intensified discussion, like a violent sea tide, surging continuously.
"Every time I think of you,
Like a sunny day after rain, seeing a butterfly fly over the ruins,
I can take it, I'll forget the past,
It was you who brought me back to life,
Yeah... I feel grateful every time I see you,
Now I can be honest with myself,
I will always cherish, I will always love you,
No one can take your place in my heart,
yeah you're the one..."
As the song came to an end, the water in the kettle reached the boiling point, and there was a rapid whistle sound, and the surrounding applause was interspersed with booing whistles.
Jing Yue was not affected in the slightest, he stopped his hand from plucking the strings, lightly supported the wheat stand with his slender fingers, and looked at a certain position under the stage, his narrating voice became deeper and more moving.
"A butterfly came to a sea area across the sea. She wanted to save a stranded whale. Today is her birthday."
"The whale wanted to say to her, Butterfly, you succeeded."
Jing Yue didn't move, but his voice was extremely gentle: "Happy birthday, my butterfly."
The audience was quiet for a few seconds, and then the cheers continued, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic and joyful.
Hu Die looked at the boy sitting in the light from a short distance away. She was smiling, but her eyes slowly turned red.
She is so sorry.
Not regret meeting him, but regret not meeting him earlier.
The author has something to say:
The song sung by brother Jing Yu is "Butterfly" by Mr. Tao Zhe.
Who will save the fallen souls.
—It is a butterfly, and it is also a butterfly.
A little suggestion: I hope that everyone will not brush the article-related content in the comment area when listening to the song.
Note:

Every time I see you, my heart is so peaceful, like a butterfly flying over the ruins, I can live again, and I regain my courage."..."Every time I think of you, it's like rain It's sunny, I saw a butterfly flying over the ruins, I can hold on, I'll forget the past, it's you who brought me back to life, yeah...every time I see you, I'm grateful, Now I can face myself calmly, I will always cherish, I will always love you, no one can take your place in my heart,
