After rebirth, my new love and I made it real

The boy paused, "You like butterflies?"

"Yeah!" She nodded heavily. "This is the first time I've seen a butterfly growing on an arm."

The boy put her down from his arms, squatted down in front of her, and patiently explained: "This is not a butterfly, this is a butterfly tattoo."

"What's a butterfly tattoo?" She stood in front of the boy, holding his arm and examining it carefully. "Can it fly?"

"No."

“Why can’t you fly?”

"When you grow up you'll understand why it can't fly."

"Brother, do you like butterflies too?"

"Well, I like it if you like it."

"Can I touch the butterfly?"

"No." The boy didn't know what he was thinking about, and he pulled down his sleeves awkwardly to cover the tattoo.

He said, "Stop staring at my tattoos."

"..."

"Stop staring at my tattoos."

The boy's demeanor as he spoke gradually changed in the sudden bright light, becoming a familiar look to her...

Lin Qingran suddenly opened her eyes.

It's bright outside.

She sat up from the bed and stared out the window.

She was five or six years old when she was almost abducted.

More than ten years have passed, but she still dreams about the scene of that day.

Now that she has grown up, she knows why the black butterfly can't fly.

But Gu Yichen, do you still remember the little girl you rescued at the train station that year?

-

Lin Qingran went downstairs and found that Lu Siheng was not there.

She looked around the living room. It was the first morning without Lu Siheng, and she realized that the house was actually a little empty.

Pouring herself a glass of warm water, she walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see if there was anything easy to make.

There was a sticky note on the fridge.

It was blue and very conspicuous, right where she reached out to open the refrigerator door.

The handwriting on it is clearly that of a man.

"There is porridge and toast rolls in the kitchen, which can be heated up and eaten. The blueberries and grapes in the refrigerator have been washed and can be eaten."

The handwriting is clearly powerful and domineering, but it is used to write such a warm and thoughtful reminder.

Lin Qingran thought of this contrast and smiled unconsciously.

She stared at the sticky note for a long time before peeling it off and putting it aside.

She took blueberries and grapes from the refrigerator and went into the kitchen again.

The porridge and toast rolls were still hot and didn't need to be reheated. It seemed that he had been gone not long ago.

Lin Qingran came to the restaurant with a tray and sat down.

Looking down, I saw another blue sticky note stuck on the corner of the table.

"I took a flight this morning to go on a business trip to Country M. I will be busy there for about a week and won't be able to come back. An aunt will come to make breakfast and dinner for you every day."

Lin Qingran raised her eyebrows and looked away.

Turns out he was on a business trip.

Yeah.

This way we can have less contact during this period.

After dinner, Lin Qingran went back to her room to change clothes and put on makeup.

Today is Saturday and she doesn’t have to go to work, so Bai Shirui made an appointment with her.

When I went out, Bai Shirui's expensive white sports car was already parked at the door waiting for me.

"You have a nice environment here."

Bai Shirui waved the car keys in her hand and looked around.

"It's worthy of being a small villa worth 80 million." Bai Shirui joked.

"Where are you going today?" Lin Qingran asked her.

"Accompany me shopping for clothes first, then eat." Bai Shirui said.

As soon as they got in the car, it suddenly started to drizzle.

The front windshield of the car was soon covered with a layer of fine water droplets, which were then wiped away by the wipers in the blink of an eye. From the villa area to the downtown area, it was drizzling all the way.

What Bai Shirui meant by playing was shopping.

Their mutual friend Yu Sha's family is in the catering business. They opened a new restaurant in Xinyue Plaza and invited them to try it.

"Where's the one in your family?"

After entering the mall, Bai Shirui suddenly asked a question.

Lin Qingran just felt a little confused, "What?"

"your husband."

For some reason, Lin Qingran felt ashamed when she heard the title "husband".

She even imagined herself calling Lu Siheng "husband", but she felt that the scene was unbearable to watch. After all, when she married Gu Yichen in her previous life, the most intimate thing she called him was just "Yichen"...

"What are you doing? Lin Qingran, why are you just blushing and not saying anything?"

Bai Shirui suddenly stopped and stared at her delicate and beautiful face, ready to reach out and touch it, "Let me see what's going on, look at her red face... Tsk, like a ripe apple."

Lin Qingran pushed her hand away, "Who is blushing? You are the one blushing, your whole family is blushing!"

Bai Shirui shrugged, "I didn't say anything, why are you reacting so strongly?"

Lin Qingran dragged her into the store and said, "Go pick out your clothes quickly and stop talking nonsense."

"I haven't even said a few words yet, why are you talking nonsense? Lin Qingran, you have such a bad temper recently."

"Yes, my aunt is coming soon, okay."

"Tsk, if you have a bad temper, then so be it. Why blame your aunt? Which man can stand you..." Bai Shirui muttered, then turned around and said loudly to her, "Can your husband stand it? What does Lu Siheng think of you? Are you like this in front of him?"

Lin Qingran felt the sidelong glances from passers-by and became anxious. She chased after Bai Shirui and wanted to sew her mouth shut. "Shut up! Bai Shirui, will you die if you speak in a lower voice..."

Bai Shirui chuckled twice and ran away.

Running into the store, Bai Shirui almost bumped into a woman.

"Who is it? Do you have a..."

Before she could even say the word "eye", Xia Shu paused when she saw that it was Bai Shirui, and forced a smile, "Sorry, Miss Bai, I almost bumped into you just now."

The Bai family's status in the capital cannot be underestimated. Although it is a little different from that of the Lin family, the Xia family, a small family, still cannot afford to offend them.

Xia Shu naturally knew that Bai Shirui was Lin Qingran's best friend, but they had rarely met each other, and had not even spoken a few words to each other.

Bai Shirui glanced at her coldly, "Unlucky."

After saying that, he passed by arrogantly.

Xia Shu clenched her palms silently.

The Bai family is just a mere family, yet they dare to be so arrogant!

When she becomes Madam Gu, let’s see how proud she can still be!

"Ms. Xia, this is the clothes you want." The shopping guide took out a piece of clothing from the store and handed it to Xia Shu.

Xia Shu took the clothes to the fitting room.

"RanRan, what do you think of this dress? Does it suit me?"

Lin Qingran glanced at the direction Xia Shu left and then looked away, glancing at the clothes in Bai Shirui's hand, "Well, it suits you."

"How about this one? How about this one?"

"..."

"Lin Qingran."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Lin Qingran turned around and saw Gu Yichen walking towards her with something in his hand.

She raised her eyelids and looked at him, "Are you here with Xia Shu?"

Gu Yichen hesitated for a while and nodded, "Yeah."

In fact, he didn't really want to go shopping with Xia Shu today.

Because he still has a grudge against Xia Shu in his heart.

But he had promised Xia Shu this a long time ago. He had been very busy with work before, so he kept putting off accompanying Xia Shu to buy clothes until now.
