Chapter 64 My Dad
"How about this, I haven’t thought of how to revenge yet. When I decide, I’ll let you know. As for the pig’s trotters..." He paused, then said, "I don’t feel like eating them right now either. When I want them, I’ll inform you. Just don’t break your promise then!"
She huffed, "I won’t stoop to being a person who breaks her word!"
Su Ronggui had several butterfly ornaments hanging in the car, including Alec’s embedded butterfly specimen, a jade butterfly, a woven butterfly, and an embroidery butterfly. She noticed them the last time she rode in his car and couldn’t hold back her curiosity now, asking, "Mr. Su, do you really like butterflies?" Even his WeChat profile picture was a butterfly!
"I can’t say I like them." He replied plainly, ending the conversation...
Tu Hengsha pursed her lips, feeling the awkwardness of the conversation dying again. However, after a brief silence, his voice sounded again, "Butterflies go through darkness and transformation to grow wings." Mixed with the sound of rain, his voice somehow became hoarser, as if sandpaper gently rubbed against the heart.
Tu Hengsha stared blankly, a neat line of words appearing in her mind, "Butterflies endure darkness and transformation to finally grow beautiful wings. We’ve been through falls and wounds to grow stronger! Little Butterfly, hang in there!"
She turned to look at him, her eyes intense, "Say it, ’Little Butterfly, hang in there!’"
"What for?"
"Just say it! Okay?" Her tone was equally pressing.
He paused for a moment, finally saying, "Little Butterfly! Hang in there!"
Suddenly, her eyes misted over. The little boy she had imagined countless times, who encouraged her in her moments of sadness and said "Little Butterfly, hang in there" while smiling in her vision, suddenly became real. It was like a blurry dream, suddenly clearing up. Everything in the dream was vividly visible, but she feared it would remain just a dream, bursting like smoke once touched...
Dazed, she reached out her hand, her fingertips growing warm, real and dry.
