36. Butterfly Memory(2/2)
But Xia Xiqing was stubborn since childhood. On the afternoon when his parents refused, he came to the garden in a depressed mood.
Just by chance, he saw a butterfly with blue markings, flashing its wings lightly, occasionally staying on the roses behind the yard.
His little heart trembled for it.
In order to catch him, Xia Xiqing, a third-grade elementary school student, spent all night making tools, and sat in front of the steps with the small net, for an afternoon.
Finally, he sprained his foot and scratched his calf and arm by roses. He limped and excitedly pinched the net, locking the beautiful butterfly into an exquisite cage.
There are four days left before the next science class. The first thing Xia Xiqing does when she wakes up every day is to look at his little butterfly, feed him water, put fresh little roses on him, and lie on the table and watch him flap his beautiful wings.
I indulge in this obsession every day, and even the pain left when I get it can be forgotten.
Finally, the day when he could bring the little butterfly to the class and introduce it to everyone, Xia Xiqing stood on the stool and searched around. After searching for a long time, he found a blue velvet that could match his little butterfly. He carefully put the velvet on the cage and took him to the classroom.
Some of them took the little ladybug, some were long-lasting bulls, and some were beetles, and no one could compare to his little butterfly.
"Show me for you." He smiled so proudly, lifting the velvet.
Unlike what he expected, the blue butterfly that should have danced was lying silently in the cage, motionless, and no longer flew up, and flashed his beautiful wings at him.
It would be great if I hadn't caught this butterfly.
If I hadn't seen him in the rose bush that afternoon, hadn't tried to keep him by my side, and hadn't paid everything to try to have it.
I won't lose it.
"Xia Xiqing."
"Xi Qing."
Thoughts suddenly pulled away from the memories, and Xia Xiqing put down the butterfly specimen in his hand and turned around.
The radio, which had only noises just now, made a sound.
