Chapter 8 8. Countless Butterflies

For Christmas when I was about to turn twenty, I started being Danny Hagrid's lover. Time flies to today, whenever I recall the initial time with Danny Haig, some specific things or details may be forgotten, but I clearly remember my mood at that time, like eating until summer Sweet, happy, excited, and even miss him when facing him.Although there is faint anxiety and worry about the unknown future, all negative thoughts and premonitions are covered by never-before-seen love. I was really in love. His home is No. 15 Dulu Avenue in Chambery City, a four-story building on the hillside.Tall walnut trees are planted in the courtyard, and the basement of the house is Danny Haig’s carpentry workshop, where he makes tables, chairs, candle holders or portraits from collected and processed wood.My Christmas present was a wooden comb with my name engraved in cursive script.

He gave it to me wrapped in a paper packet, and we were watching a Monte-Carlo TV Christmas party, with old Prince Richard Clayderman playing a lyrical ditty; The prosperous, faint smell of rosin sometimes jumped out of the chimney and floated into the room; the shells of the chestnuts he roasted in it cracked and crackled. Danny Hagrid gave me the paper wrap on the sofa in the back. I touched it for a long time and didn't know what it was. I looked back at him: "What gift?" "Open it and see, you will know when you open it." I put the comb in my hand, looked at it, smelled it, and after a long time of joy, I suddenly raised my head and asked him: "It's so beautifully made, even the sawdust is smoothed, didn't you buy it?" Engraved my name on it?"

Without a word of rebuttal, he got up from the sofa to get the roasted chestnuts.I watched him face the fireplace, with his back to me, and fiddled for a while, then suddenly turned around, my eyes blurred, and my forehead was hit.I said "Oops", the pain was so bad, I picked it up and saw that it was a peeled white and fat chestnut.Danny Hagrid laughed: "If you dare to be suspicious again, I will bake apples next time." I put the chestnut in my mouth and said as I ate it, "I'm flattering you, and you hit me? It's so beautifully made, who would have thought it was your handwriting?"

"When I'm working again, you can go and see." He peeled a chestnut for himself and said. We spent most of that Christmas in his carpentry.I was holding a book and a glass of wine, and sat on a round chair covered with a white blanket. After reading for a while, I looked up at him for a while, watching him deftly cut, inlaid, and glued large and small pieces of wood; He stroked a piece of ash with his thumb and praised it.The warm winter sun streams down from the small high window, and billions of dust and sawdust are flying in the beam of light.Danny Haig made a beautiful high chair, then carefully painted seven layers of odorless paint, and finally painted my name: Qi Hui Hui with yellow paint.

He read: Qi Weiwei. I will never correct again, let him do what he wants. I asked him how he knew how to do carpentry on the trestle next to Lake Berge.The two of us were each wearing thick sweaters and padded jackets, wrapped in a blanket, and in his hand was a long fishing rod.The sun gradually rose behind Kitty Yashan, the morning mist on the lake was blown away, and the red float floated slightly in the circular water waves. "That's a long story," said Danny Hagrid. "I'm an old man, and a lot of things are rooted in history. Do you want to take a history lesson? Well, come on, kid you Do you have any hobbies? Except reading and doubting."

I raised my head from his shoulder: "When did I get suspicious?" He pulled one corner of his mouth and smiled, which meant to say: Do you still need to ask? I bit my lip, I can't afford to dwell on this topic.I moved closer to him, tugged the blanket, wrapped it tighter, and whispered: "I like watching cartoons, I like Hayao Miyazaki, Miyazaki." Danny Hagrid nodded: "Well, yes, what a mature taste." I can't help but laugh, is this a good word or irony?Suddenly a big fish bit the hook, and the red float sank without a trace. Danny Hagrid stood up suddenly, and the spool spun fast.His face was full of excitement, and he said loudly to me: "Hurry up, Wei Wei, go get the net bag, that big one, this is a big guy..."

I threw down the blanket, and ran across the trestle to the lake to get the big net bag tied to the long pole. Danny Hagrid put out the line and lifted the pole for a while, fighting with the big fish that refused to give in.He yelled loudly, gritted his teeth, and the sun rose behind him, engraving his tall body in red light and shadow. He said to me, "Come here, come here, come here!" I was nervous and excited, my palms were sweaty: "Get ready! I'll catch it if you pull the line." He suddenly lifted the pole, and a pink trout as long as my forearm was lifted up by him wagging its tail in the waves of the lake.With quick hands and quick eyes, I flicked the long pole and caught the fish with the net bag at once.I jumped and screamed on the trestle bridge.He put down the fishing rod, took the long pole in my hand with one hand, and hugged me with the other hand to kiss my forehead.

"Beautiful, so beautiful!" Danny Hagrid threw the tumbling fish onto the trestle and asked me eagerly, "How do you eat it?" "..." "Baked in applewood, or fried?" I leaned over, raised my head and asked him, "Didn't you foreigners release the fish after you caught them?" He was startled and looked at me: "The bread in this 'foreigner' does not include me who only ate two slices of bread and one piece of bacon in the morning, and waited for two hours to catch a fish for food?" I clasped my hands together and begged him sincerely, "Master Hagrid, please let this poor guy go. Firstly, it's not easy for him to grow so big, and secondly, he won't taste good when he grows up so big."

He laughed, pinched my chin and kissed me: "Okay, just do as you say. But I have to carve a few more words on its tail." "Could it be Qi Hui Hui again?" I pushed his shoulder away and asked. "You are so smart, what kind of reward will I give you?" "I don't want anything! Just release the fish!" He held the mouth of the big fish, raised his forearm, it wagged its head and turned a somersault in the air, and then plunged into the lake water.At that moment, I hugged his waist from behind, my face and mouth were pressed against his broad back, my voice was transmitted from his body to his ears, although the voice was muffled, but nothing wasted on it in the air.I said, "Danny Hagrid, I'm going to tell you my biggest wish right now."

He said, "Aren't you afraid that if you say it, your wish will come true?" "I speak French, which Chinese gods can't understand." "Then please tell me, I'm listening." "Time stops, or I die now." "why?" "Too happy." On Lake Berge at Christmas, on the trestle bridge in winter, the birds that came out to gather in the early morning stopped singing, so quiet.His hand covered mine in front of him: "Wei Wei, don't say such things again, the world is so exciting and lively, how many times have you only seen it?"

More than half of the wonderful excitement in this world is on Danny Hagrid's body. I began to learn to detect a man's body, his bones, temperature, breath, the muscles of his shoulders and waist, the hair on his body, his organs... Danny Hagrid has golden hair, eyebrows and underarms The hair is chestnut, the heaviest on the chest, and blond between the legs.His otherwise white body was tanned golden brown, and there were several moles on his back.He's all lean, muscular, and I love his arms and hips, they're so streamlined.Sometimes he would walk across the room naked in the moonlight to bring me cold water placed by the window, and I thought in a daze: He looks like a man transformed from a vigorous dolphin.What I have never been able to figure out is how he always smells of mint, between the lips and teeth, on the skin, after the heavy salty intimacy, there is also a layer of light, cooling mint. The girl is hopelessly fascinated by her first lover, her body, fingers, and even her eyes reveal passionate love.Sometimes I secretly look at him when he is fast asleep, and touch him gently, from forehead to ears, knees, to his ankles, and I still think in my heart: So this is what a man is like, Danny Hagrid is like this. Suddenly my wrist was grabbed by him, and he lifted my arm up to the top of my head like pulling an electric valve.He looked at me under the overlapping white quilts: "You don't sleep, what are you messing around with?" "I used to have a problem, and now I have solved it myself." He smiled softly: "What problem? How did you solve it?" "Why do you only wear a pair of trousers no matter how cold it is in winter—you," my foot slipped on his leg, "Your body hair is so heavy that you are wearing a pair of woolen trousers. It's really enviable." "It's still insulated in summer, don't you know?" "That's a good thing." "There's trouble too." He let go of my hand and told me with his face buried in the pillow. "what?" "It also drops a lot, and there is static electricity when the weather is dry." I laughed. He leaned over to kiss me and kissed me for a long time before leaving. By the moonlight, he stared at my face from top to bottom, and pressed his little finger on the middle of my chin: "There is a small hole here. This is mine. It has to be Just a name." "It's a dimple that brings good luck to women," I said, "but I don't know the name." "Let me think about it," he squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "let's call it the Bosphorus, and this is my Bosphorus from now on." "Is there an allusion?" "It is full of whirlpools. Passing ships must be careful, otherwise they will be dragged into the whirlpool and never be reborn, just like me." After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed me, face, lips, neck, breasts, and body.When he entered my body and took possession of it tenderly in the rhythm, I just felt countless butterflies flapping their wings and flying briskly from between my thighs to the vibrating air above the room.
