It was late afternoon after work on Friday, so I didn't go back to my lodgings and went straight to the president's house.

The president's neighborhood is located next to our Island City Park. The lake is in the front and the mountains are in the background. More than 10 ordinary small high-rise buildings with five floors are connected by words. The low-key community gate, the ordinary courtyard greenery, and the lack of bells and whistles rockery sculptures and pavilions. The whole community feels that it is not a villa area, but it belongs to a high-end community with low-key luxury and connotation. If you look closely, you will see that the houses are superficially connected, but in fact each building has a partition several meters wide in the middle, making each building a separate entity. The floors are not high, one per floor, and there is an elevator. And the most special thing is that the community square radiates more than a dozen cobblestone paths like the sun. Paths lead to each house, that is, each house here has a dedicated tree-lined path where occupants can go their own way. The trail is lined with tall greenery, silent, and unmarked. People who enter the community for the first time will generally turn dizzy. It is said that the people who live in this neighborhood are either rich or rich.

I turned around a few times, but I still couldn't find the president's house. So, I called the saucer, and the saucer came out to pick me up at the door of the community.

There is only one butterfly in the spacious and bright home.

"Where's the president?" I asked.

She pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It's really not a coincidence, my parents have something to do and will come back later." ”

I said I'll go somewhere and eat something first.

She said, "You're so stingy, you don't invite me along." ”

I smiled and said, "I like spicy food, and it's a fast food box lunch, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it." ”

She said, "Otherwise, don't go out to eat, I'll cook some home-cooked food, and you can try my craft?" ”

I don't think it's a bad thing, I eat in small restaurants outside every day, and I do miss home cooking a little.

Butterfly's cooking skills are good, and after a while, a few plates of small stir-fry are served, and they are full of color and flavor at a glance. Especially the dish of stir-fried beef with wild peppers, it made my mouth water. This is very surprising to me, I have always stubbornly believed that most of the daughters of the official family are clothed and stretched, and the food is open, and the five grains are not divided into four bodies and are not diligent.

The meal was served, and the president and his wife had not returned. I looked at the wall clock on the wall and pointed to eight o'clock.

Butterfly said, "Whatever they do, they must be eating out." She took off her apron and sat down across from me.

"Would you like to have some drink?" She asked me.

I said, "I haven't drunk it in a long time." ”

She said, "Drink some, why don't you drink big men." ”

She stood up with a smile and went to get the wine, "Li Jiashanlan, the locals sent it, and my dad drank it as a drink." She said. Then, poured me a large glass and a small one for myself.

We drank Shanlan and chatted.

I told her some of the anecdotes I had encountered during the interview. She listened to me with a smile on her face all the time, her eyes wide open. For the first time, I thought she was very good-looking, and when she smiled, she showed two cute little tiger teeth, especially the pair of red phoenix eyes that always looked at me—I suddenly felt that those eyes were a bit like the teacher's—which made my heart pound.

Before we knew it, we drank half a bottle of Shanlan.

I looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it was ten o'clock, and the president and his wife had not returned.

I said I had to go back and come back next time.

She nodded apologetically, too.

I stood up - suddenly, I felt my legs go limp, my head was a little dizzy, and I almost fell down as soon as I took a step. I smiled at her a little embarrassedly and said, "This wine...... It's really ...... Stamina! ”

Butterfly said with some pity, "You really can't drink it!" ”

I said, "Maybe it's too much." ”

"Then let's go after a break, drink a cup of honey tea to relieve the wine." Butterfly said and turned to make me honey tea.

I sat down on the couch and felt my limbs limp and my heart beat faster.

Butterfly came back with tea, saw me leaning back on the sofa, and said, "It's uncomfortable." She put down the teacup and went to her room to fetch a pillow for me to put under my neck. I lay on the couch with a groggy head and fell asleep in a moment.

I don't know how long I slept.

When I opened my eyes, I was covered with an autumn blanket and Butterfly was sitting on the other side of the couch watching the silent TV.

I quickly sat up.

"Woke up?" She asked.

I nodded, "I'm sorry, I haven't slept yet." I said.

She smiled at me and said, "You're fine." ”

I looked at the wall clock on the wall, and it was one o'clock in the morning. I asked, "Is the president back?" Butterfly shook her head, still with an apologetic look on her face. I was halfway sober and said, "Then I have to go back." She looked at me, a little uneasy, "Can you do it?" She asked me softly. I lifted my bag, stood up, and stretched my somewhat heavy legs. "Much better, it's fine." I say. She suddenly lowered her head, a red cloud flew over her face, and her voice was very soft: "You...... Stay with me...... Let's watch TV, my parents are not at home, I am alone...... Also afraid. ”

I thought, it's going to be dawn in a few hours anyway, so let's watch TV with her.

Under the soft wall lamp, Butterfly and I sat side by side on the sofa. Butterfly had apparently just come out of the shower, wearing a dark green off-the-shoulder dress, her hair a little damp and scattered over her round shoulders. A foreign spy war movie was playing on the TV, and I turned up the sound of the TV a little louder, and the male pig's foot said to the woman's pig's foot: "Do you remember the color of that door?" The female pig's foot thought for a moment and said, "Scarlet." ”

Butterfly bent down to pick up the hem of her skirt that had fallen on the side of the sofa - the moment she bent over, I saw the whiteness and plumpness under her neckline. My mind instinctively trembled - and for a second, I withdrew my gaze in panic and cursed myself inwardly for being filthy and mean. I took a deep breath to calm myself, but as a result, I could clearly smell a faint, soft, and vague fragrance emanating from the butterfly's body—

This faint fragrance made me feel dizzy and confused. I thought of the teacher, and I even felt that the scene was familiar - I suddenly reached out and grabbed the butterfly's waist. Butterfly was frightened by my move, and struggled to hold me from holding it. But I didn't stop, I hugged her tightly. She struggled for a while, probably tired, and finally collapsed in my arms. At this time, I immediately came to my senses and quickly let go. However, I could already feel the butterfly holding me tight.

I must state that the moment I reached out and hugged the butterfly, I clearly understood that my youth was about to step towards another threshold, and I was in love again.

We hugged each other, no words, only heartbeats.

I felt some wetness in my chest, and when I looked down, the butterfly was crying in my arms.

I was shocked, "What's wrong?" I asked her softly.

She looked up, looked at me, and said, "I know...... You're thinking about another person. ”

All my life I have been steadfast in my belief that women are the most sensitive animals in the world, and I will never doubt that they are born with special functions.

I felt sorry and tried to hold her tight.

I'm in love with Butterfly.

My withered heart is once again nourished by love, and my desert youth is full of life. I worked harder, and my manuscripts won awards one after another. In my spare time, under the influence of my brother Liu Daxia, I fell in love with poetry. I worked diligently to create, and one by one my poems were published in newspapers and magazines of all sizes in our island city, and the Youth Poetry Association recruited me as a member, and the Island City Writers Association elected me as a director. Everyone thinks I'm a talented and promising young talent.

"Writing poetry must have a good environment, don't live in that rental house, move to my house."

One day, four months after the relationship with Butterfly was confirmed, Butterfly said to me affectionately.

I was stunned—happiness came a little fast.

Butterfly explained, "My parents told you to move here. ”

I smiled and asked, "Do you have to pay rent?"

Butterfly glanced at me and said, "Just invite me to watch a few movies." ”

Of course, I nodded in thanks.

When I went back to my residence in Donghuli to move my things, my police brother David called me on my mobile phone:

"Tell me honestly, did you climb a high branch?"

I was taken aback by this, and I asked, "How do you say such a thing?" ”

David said, "Bring it as it is." ”

I confessed to having a girlfriend.

"Is it the daughter of the president's family?"

"Big brother, how do you know this?"

David said, "That's right." ”

I asked, "Big brother, what do you mean?" ”

David told me that the day before yesterday, the Public Security Bureau invited media leaders to hold a public security work meeting, and he happened to sit with our president. Chatting, it's an authentic fellow. David asked if there was a chatting reporter at the newspaper. The president said yes. David said that the guy was good, very diligent and dedicated. The president smiled and said, "That kid is friends with my daughter!"

I was scared into a cold sweat when I heard this, and I quickly said, "Big brother, you have to give a few kind words to my little brother!" ”

David smiled: "I know that I have a criminal record, right? ”

I was a little scared, and I begged, "Big brother, I'm in the past!" ”

David's hahaha laughter came from the other end of the phone, and his voice broke several times, just like he laughed. Finally, he said, "Don't worry, bad boy, I'll help you hide your old." ”

I was grateful and said, "Big brother is chivalrous! I must write this tracking report well, which can be regarded as repaying the eldest brother for his care for the younger brother! ”

Zou Jian was lying on the table sorting out his customer files, "Who are you talking to, a mouthful of sycophancy!" He looked up and scolded me.

I saw a string of names and phone numbers on the thick phone book, painted in red, blue and yellow. He told me, "These are all my potential customers and my future friends. Red means the most promising cooperation, blue means that you can continue to contact, and yellow is pulled out and shot. After a pause, he said, "Grandma's, each of these names represents tens or billions of wealth in the island city!" ”

I smiled and said, "You cattle, you are a land dealer, and you control the economic lifeline of the island city." ”

Zou Jian said: "Didn't the son say: pick up girls, you want to pick up virtuous and beautiful women; To make friends, you have to make rich people. ”

I shook my head speechlessly.

I reminded myself once again that he was no longer the simple rural family planning officer, and the big dye vat of our island city had dyed him black and white.

I told him anyway, "I...... I'm going to move away, I'm coming back to move things. ”

He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and looked at me, "Are you still holding a grudge against me for reporting you and the teacher?" He asked.

I smiled and shook my head.

"Then why moved?"

Of course, I didn't dare tell him that I was moving to my girlfriend's house, because I was afraid that it would irritate him. I just said blandly that the newspaper thought that I should have a quiet environment for writing, and gave me a room.

With a look of envy and a look of loss, he said: "I know that you have the ability, you are a birdman, you will fly away sooner or later - there is a saying, what do birds choose to live in?" ”

"Birds choose high branches to perch." I say.

"Yes, yes, it's a journalist." He chuckled, "Birdman, you're a birdman." It's going to fly away. He muttered, packing up the phone book on the table.

To be honest, I'm also a little sad. After all, we've been living here together for two years, and when I move out, he'll be alone. I said, "I'll treat you to a meal." He waved his hand and said, "I'll ask you—see you off as a birdman." ”

Zou Jian and I went to a Hunan restaurant.

We asked for two beers, one for each person. Zou Jian opened the cap, tilted his neck, and took a sip. "Tell you something," he said to me in a serious manner, "I met her the day before yesterday at the Island City bar. ”

"Who?" I asked.

"My fiancée!" He shook his head in frustration and said, "Heavy makeup, smear flowers, and drink with guests." ”

"You didn't talk to her?" I asked.

"Nope." He shook his head, helpless. "I'm dead......," he seemed to say to himself, "but sometimes I still think about her and worry that she's not doing well." ”

"Why don't you tell her that you are now rich and can marry her!" I said in a joking tone.

"I'm not that cheap, am I?" He pouted, "Damn, you're in trouble if you get sick." He scolded.

"She knows what she does, and she is responsible for the consequences." I say.

"Don't talk about that, keep drinking." He tilted his head and took another big sip. "I'm also moving, and I want to find a better house." He said.

I nodded.

"I'm making a big deal these days." He said.

"I believe you can do it." I say.

"If you do, you will buy a house and a car."

"What about my wife?"

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, when you have more money, find another one to make up for the loss!" ”

Many years later, Zou Jian, who became the famous king of land speculation in the island city, admitted to me that at that time, marrying a wife like a flower and jade became his crazy and unscrupulous motivation to make money. Of course, I understand that it was that sleepwalking night that destined the rise of this new star in the business world of the island city, and also laid the foundation for the birth of the diamond in the island city.
