Chapter 64: 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.

He was driving, his expression stiff.

Yet, she was immersed in the dream of her elder brother, her fingertip slowly moving from the warm, dry skin of his cheek to the stubble on his chin. The prickly sensation of the stubble amazed her; memories before she was five weren’t that clear, and after, no intimate men existed in her life. So this was stubble... Was her dad’s stubble also this prickly?

"Had enough?" The car suddenly stopped, and a cold voice rang out.

Tu Hengsha was mortified, her hand stopping on his chin as if caressing a Bangbangtang as she usually did...

"Uh-uh..." Her face flushed bright red, wondering what her intrusive hand was up to! "Uh... I suddenly thought of my dad..."

"..." Su Ronggui’s face grew even more rigid.

"I’m sorry..." This time, she admitted she was at fault.

And so, the conversation collapsed, and neither of them needed to say more.

The car eventually pulled into a small courtyard in the alley. Although Fan Yue had been notified that the Bangbangtang had been found, he hadn’t returned yet. Grandma Xu was at home, and upon seeing Bangbangtang running back, she exclaimed, "Oh my! Finally back! What a muddy mess in this heavy rain! Come quickly, Grandma will give you a bath."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw Su Ronggui and Tu Hengsha come in one after the other, delighted, "Gugu! My girl!"

Tu Hengsha heard the words "Gugu" and wanted to laugh. She had already offended him thoroughly tonight, so it was best not to provoke his resentment any further. She lowered her head and held back her laughter, saying, "Grandma, I’ll bathe Bangbangtang!"

"I’ll do it!" someone replied stiffly.

Grandma laughed, "Both of you, both of you go!"
