Chapter 16 Chapter Fourteen

In the middle of the night, after Han Chunyi broke up with her friend at the entrance of the bar, she dragged her body full of alcohol and walked home step by step.On the road, she looked a little dull, and her face was haggard.Under the light of the lonely lamp, her figure swayed from side to side, as if she was about to fall.In fact, she was on the verge of breaking down physically and mentally. Han Chunyi, who was finally able to walk home, fell down on the bed without taking off her socks, pulled the quilt fiercely to cover her body and head, and locked herself up subconsciously. In her hand, she clutches a butterfly-shaped brooch studded with sparkling crystals, which was given to her by her grandmother when she was five years old. It is a butterfly that can only protect its master.

"Granddaughter, take it! It's a butterfly with magical powers." Grandma said. "Wow! It's so beautiful! Will I be like it in the future?" Han Chunyi said innocently. "Yes, I will." Grandma smiled kindly. As the years passed, she didn't care about the jokes in her childhood.Keep it well, because it is a relic of grandma.However, she gradually realized that the butterfly was really guarding her. Tears and snot seeped into the sleeping pillow, filled with pity and humbleness. In the dark bed, she tried her best to fall asleep, tossing and turning, but she was still awake.

At this moment, the phone rang. "I'm Jiang Yanzhong. I'm really sorry to bother you so late, but I need to discuss something with you about publishing." "I don't want to hear it." Han Chunyi murmured. "What!" Jiang Yan was stunned. On weekdays, Han Chunyi is most concerned about publishing, why "Are you okay?" "No!" she choked out.Tears can't help but flow down. Jiang Yan felt bad, Han Chunyi, a woman who was not easy to mess with at all, was crying on the other end of the phone. Surprised and worried, he drove to Han Chunyi's house immediately after hanging up.

The doorbell rang for a long time before Han Chunyi answered the door. Jiang Yanzhong saw that her eyes were red and she smelled of alcohol. He planned to comfort her, but unexpectedly she started crying again: "Why did he do this to me! I've been with him for four years, I've been with him all my heart, and I'm not good enough? He fell in love with another one," she growled. what!It turned out to be a relationship issue.Seeing Han Chunyi crying like a madman, Jiang Yanzhong didn't know what to say. Suddenly, she picked up the butterfly brooch and said. "Did you know? This butterfly is my patron saint. Whenever I encounter difficulties, it will cast spells to help me out. My famous novel is also about butterflies. I always believe that I have become a beautiful one." Butterfly, but this time it doesn't work...has it abandoned me?" She looked at Jiang Yanzhong with tears in her eyes.

For a moment, Jiang Yanzhong was also speechless.Feel free to answer: "In fact, it has cast a spell. It brought me here to listen to your cry." Han Chunyi looked at him helplessly, leaned on his chest, almost curled up in his arms. Jiang Yanzhong stroked her hair gently, and she fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Yanzhong never thought that this woman who was not easy to mess with would sleep in his arms like a cat, he felt a little indescribable. After one night, Han Chunyi woke up and said to Jiang Yanzhong. "Did you..." "No, nothing happened." He replied hurriedly.

Han Chunyi couldn't help laughing, "I want to know if I'm not vomiting everywhere." "No." He said awkwardly. After Han Chunyi walked into the bathroom to freshen up, she said to Jiang Yanzhong, "Do you want breakfast?" "No, it's getting late, I have to go to work." He said with a smile. "Forget it then! Also, don't you have something to discuss with me?" "Ah! Let's talk when you feel better, anyway, it's not something urgent." After finishing speaking, he turned and left. Han Chunyi looked at his back, feeling attached.

It never occurred to her that she never looked down on this man. The next day, Han Chunyi went to see a psychiatrist in order to avoid emotional fluctuations affecting her writing, hoping to calm down her mood as soon as possible. "Doctor, after I told the story, I feel less depressed now, thank you!" "That's good, please remember to always keep a cheerful mind." The doctor urged. Han Chunyi walked to the elevator lobby but was knocked down by a woman in a trance. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." The woman was sorry. "It's okay, I'm not hurt anyway." She patted her clothes.

The woman turned and left.Han Chunyi saw a follow-up card from a psychiatrist clinic on the floor. The patient's name was Wang Limei, and she believed it was the woman just now. "Miss, you lost your follow-up card!" she said loudly. The woman hurriedly turned her head and took the follow-up card from her hand. "Are you okay? Your complexion doesn't look very good." Han Chunyi asked. "It's nothing, just a little dizzy." Wang Limei said with her head down. After leaving the building, Han Chunyi drove home, but it rained heavily on the way. On the way, she saw Wang Limei; because she didn't have an umbrella, she looked a little embarrassed.

"It's raining so hard, why don't I take you home!" Wang Limei hesitated for a while, then walked into the car. After walking for a while, Han Chunyi asked her where she was going? "I don't want to go home." Wang Limei said looking at the car window. "Then where do you want to go?" "have no idea." "How about this, let's go to the coffee shop for a drink, I'm a little thirsty anyway." Han Chunyi suggested. "Also." After entering the coffee room, Wang Limei remained silent. Suddenly... "I was unfaithful to my husband, I had an affair." She sipped her coffee and said.

Han Chunyi was taken aback by her sudden words, Wang Limei looked very dignified and virtuous on the phone, no matter how she looked at it, she would not be romantic. "Why did you tell me?" Han Chunyi asked curiously. "It's nothing, these things are easier to say to strangers," she said, stirring her coffee. "Then who do you love more?" Han Chunyi asked. "I love both, they are completely different people," she affirms. They kept talking until it stopped raining. After returning home, Han Chunyi still didn't quite understand why Wang Limei could love two completely different men at the same time. Even so, Han Chunyi got a windfall, and she planned to use this as a new novel theme.

At this moment, the phone rang again. "It's me, can you come to the publishing house tomorrow?" Jiang Yanzhong said. "Of course." Han Chunyi had a sweet smile on his lips. The next day, in the conference room of the publishing house, Jiang Yanzhong was explaining the new policy of the publishing house to Han Chunyi. "Do you understand these details? If there is anything unclear, I can explain it again." Jiang Yanzhong said solemnly. "Your explanation is very detailed." Han Chunyi said with a smile. "What are you laughing at?" he asked. "I don't like your serious look." "Really!" Jiang Yanzhong said with a smile. Leaving the publishing house, they walked into the street. "I'm a little hungry, why don't we go eat." Han Chunyi said to Jiang Yanzhong. "You like it." He laughed. After dinner, Jiang Yanzhong drove Han Chunyi home. Along the way, Han Chunyi kept talking to Jiang Yanzhong, as if he wanted to know everything about him. "I'm here." Han Chunyi said. "Do you need me to see you off?" Jiang Yan said in the middle. "Why don't you come to my house for a cup of coffee, I didn't treat you well last time." She seized the opportunity and said. "It doesn't matter." Han Chunyi's heart was beating very hard, she actually had this idea, she expected that this night would become very romantic. After returning home, Han Chunyi deliberately dimmed the lights and lowered all the curtains in the house. "The coffee is very fragrant, and your technique of brewing coffee is really good." Jiang Yanzhong said while sipping his coffee. "Really, you really know how to coax people." Han Chunyi showed a satisfied smile. "No! I didn't coax you, I just told the truth." In fact, it doesn't matter whether the words are true or not, Han Chunyi doesn't mind at all, what she cares is whether Jiang Yanzhong pays attention to herself. "It's getting late, it's time for me to go home!" "Can you stay?" Han Chunyi finally said what was in her heart. "What!" Jiang Yan was stunned. "Don't you have feelings for me?" She said, looking at Jiang Yanzhong helplessly. Jiang Yanzhong walked up to her without saying a word, kissed her cheek lightly, and hugged her thin body until dawn. She finally got her wish and had an extraordinary night. Upon waking up, Jiang Yanzhong asked: "Chun Yi, do you think we came too fast?" "Love has never had a time limit, so what's the difference between being happy and unhappy?" Han Chunyi leaned on his chest and said. Jiang Yanzhong didn't speak, just smiled and stroked her hair. Jiang Yanzhong left for work again, this time Han Chunyi looked at his back; apart from being attached, he also felt a sense of happiness. Soon Han Chunyi moved into Jiang Yanzhong's house and lived together, and she seemed to be the hostess. The butterfly appeared, and this time it cast a spell on Jiang Yanzhong for her, and she became a beautiful butterfly again. One day more than a year later, Han Chunyi went to the psychiatrist, and she met Wang Limei again. "How are you?" Han Chunyi stepped forward to say hello. "Not bad!" Wang Limei smiled. "You seem to be in a good mood." "Yes! My husband is away on business, so my mind has become calm." She said with a breath. Seeing Wang Limei at this moment, Han Chunyi seemed relieved, but how long can such a burden be let go?Is the problem really solved? "Miss Han, I'm leaving first, goodbye." She waved her hand and said. "goodbye." Huang made a mistake, Han Chunyi went to the publishing house to find Jiang Yanzhong. The moment she opened the door and entered the office, she heard... "Forget it! It's impossible to go on like this..." Jiang Yanzhong said and hung up immediately when he saw her. "Am I bothering you?" she said. "No, that troublesome guest just now is really annoying." He explained. "In words, it's time to get off work." "Yes, let's go eat!" "OK." "Wait a minute." Jiang Yanzhong took out a beautiful small box from his briefcase. "Is it for me?" Han Chunyi deliberately asked. "Open it and have a look," he said softly. Han Chunyi opened the box, and there was a butterfly-shaped ring inside. "Very beautiful, I like butterflies best." She said happily. "That's fine if you like it." He smiled. Han Chunyi took Jiang Yanzhong's hand and walked to the street until he was in front of a Japanese restaurant. "Just eat at this restaurant," she said. "No, I want to go to another room." Just as they turned to leave, suddenly... "Mr. Jiang, I haven't visited for a long time, and the restaurant is not full yet, do you want to come in?" said a waiter in the restaurant. "No need." Jiang Yanzhong showed embarrassment, took Han Chunyi's hand and left in a hurry. Han Chunyi couldn't help asking him. "Do you come here often?" "This was a thing in the past, but the service quality of this restaurant has gone from bad to worse, and I haven't been there for a long time," he explained. "Really? But this restaurant doesn't look bad." Han Chunyi said questioningly. "Forget it, don't talk about it anymore, let's go eat Italian food?" "It doesn't matter." They walked to the street again and walked into an Italian restaurant on the corner. There are quite a lot of diners here, but the environment is very quiet, which may be due to the elegant interior furnishings. "The food here is really delicious." Han Chunyi said while eating. "Of course what I introduced is good stuff." Jiang Yanzhong looked complacent. "In the words, today I met a woman." "A woman?" "I met her near the clinic more than a year ago." "So what?" he said coldly. "That woman is very poor. She betrayed her husband and had an extramarital affair." She looked up and said. Jiang Yanzhong almost spit out the coffee he was sipping. "Are you okay?" She was frightened by Jiang Yanzhong's actions. "No." He wiped his mouth and said. "Why is your reaction so big? Could it be that you..." "Don't think about it." He retorted loudly. "I was just joking." Han Chunyi said helplessly. "Forget it, let's check out and go home." On the way home, Han Chunyi was still full of doubts. She didn't understand why Jiang Yanzhong showed an abnormal reaction. She began to wonder if he had any secrets.She thought about these questions over and over again, and suddenly remembered that Jiang Yanzhong's mobile phone would always ring in the middle of the night every once in a while, and his work was always quite busy, so Han Chunyi always ignored it, but now thinking about it, it was a bit of a coincidence, could it be... After that, Han Chunyi began to ask about his whereabouts. One morning, Han Chunyi saw Jiang Yanzhong changing clothes with sleepy eyes. "Where are you going so early? Do you still have to go to work today is a holiday?" She asked eagerly. "Chun Yi, I need to calm down." Jiang Yan said with a breath. "What, what do you want to say?" Her voice became hoarse. "I want to live alone, I don't want to be bound." "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interfere in your life, it's because of me..." she cried. Jiang Yanzhong looked at her and became silent. "No, please don't leave me, I can't lose you." She choked up. "Don't cry, I just want to express my feelings." Jiang Yanzhong said softly. Han Chunyi hugged the headrest tightly, tears soaked into the pillowcase. Sitting on the bed, he said to Han Chunyi: "Tomorrow you are leaving for Qingdao to visit the academic and cultural exchange meeting. Just use this week to let everyone calm down and think about this issue." Han Chunyi nodded and agreed with tears in her eyes. Although she was full of doubts in her heart, she was afraid to ask, because she knew that only by giving in would she not make him hate her further.She loves Jiang Yanzhong deeply, and she is afraid of losing the one she loves again, but unfortunately, the excessive care and love have turned her mind into possession and suspicion. The next day, Han Chunyi went to the airport with her suitcase alone, but on the way she returned to her apartment.Since she moved into Jiang Yanzhong's house, she has rarely gone back. The floor, doors, windows, and all the furniture in the house are covered with thick dust. She walked into the study and took out an old wooden box from the drawer of the desk. Inside the box was her favorite butterfly brooch. She planned to put the butterfly beside her and fly to Qingdao with her.She subconsciously felt that when she came back, everything would subside, and Jiang Yanzhong's favorite was still her. Just the fifth day in Qingdao. "Miss Han, the exchange meeting has ended, and you have two days to go back to Hong Kong, why don't you take a tour around?" the hotel receptionist said. "I have visited the nearby tourist attractions, what else is there to do?" "Have you been to Changjiabu in Weifang?" "Where is Yangjiabu?" Han Chunyi asked curiously. "This is the Grand View Garden of Folk Art, the hometown of kites." "The land of kites?" "In addition to manufacturing, there are also kite exhibitions here, many of which are rare to see." Han Chunyi was also very attracted after hearing this, since she couldn't think of any good places to go anyway, so she went to Yangjiabu. After hours of driving, we finally arrived at our destination. "The kites here are so beautiful." Han Chunyi looked up to the sky and admired. She walked around the exhibition hall like a naive primary school student, temporarily putting aside the problems between her and Jiang Yanzhong. Soon, she walked into the exhibition hall selling kites. Among the many kites, she deliberately chose a butterfly kite, which was colorful and bright.Han Chunyi held it and couldn't let go of it, as if the butterfly was a part of her body. Two days later, she came back from Qingdao. It was very late when she got home, but she still planned to find Jiang Yan. She rushed to his house with the souvenirs she bought from Qingdao. On the street not far from his house, Han Chunyi saw Jiang Yanzhong embracing another woman. That woman seemed to have met there before, and she finally remembered. , that woman was Wang Limei who had met near the clinic.It turns out that her lover is Jiang Yanzhong, why is it like this... Han Chunyi was so sad that she hid on the corner of the street, crying and shaking. After embracing each other, Jiang Yanzhong saw her thin figure at the corner of the street. "Chun Yi, did you see it?" He lowered his head and said. "Why are you Wang Limei's lover?" Han Chunyi cried bitterly. "Why do you know her name?" He was stunned. "She's the same woman I met near the clinic a long time ago," she growled. Jiang Yan was speechless. At this time, neither side wanted to say a word. Seeing that Han Chunyi had calmed down, Jiang Yanzhong said, "Actually, we are not suitable for each other at all. It might have been a wrong decision to live together so soon." "Did you ever love me?" she said tearfully. "Yes, but..." Jiang Yanzhong couldn't continue. "But you love freedom more. Wang Limei can give you freedom, because she has no power to restrain you, right?" Han Chunyi looked at him helplessly and said. Jiang Yanzhong remained silent, because he had revealed everything in his mind. "Break up!" She pretended to be calm. "what!" "Since I can't give you what you need, it's meaningful to be together, I don't want to be like that time, become a lunatic, please let me go away!" She took a breath and said. "Really decide like this?" Jiang Yanzhong asked guiltily. "Yes." After saying that, Han Chunyi turned and left without looking back, leaving Jiang Yanzhong forever and ever. She just wants to save a little self-esteem for herself at this moment.She hoped that she would always be a noble and beautiful woman in Jiang Yanzhong's mind, not a crazy woman who grabbed the sky and land. She walked home and collapsed on the bed again.She picked up the butterfly brooch again, and found that the crystals on the brooch were no longer sparkling and beautiful.Han Chunyi knew that Butterfly's mana had been exhausted, and it could no longer protect itself.She opened the suitcase to take out the butterfly kite, but unexpectedly the butterfly's wings were broken.At this time, she looked at the butterfly kite and the butterfly ring that Jiang Yanzhong gave her with a wry smile, and thought: I am a butterfly, I have flown over the mountain, but I can’t fly past Jiang Yanzhong’s palm, my life will stay with him forever, I can't fly anymore.
