"Did you understand?"
After Shen Yulou finished gesturing, he hugged his knees and looked into Xiao Lu's eyes.
Seeing the little deer's bewildered look, Shen Yulou knew that it really didn't understand.
He shook his head helplessly and returned to Chi Yuan.
Chi Yuan gnawed on the rabbit leg in his hand, finding the scene of Shen Yulou and Xiao Lu talking at cross purposes quite amusing.
"Although they are intelligent, they are only intelligent among animals."
Upon hearing Chi Yuan's finishing blow, Shen Yulou snatched the rabbit leg from his hand and ate it himself.
With no rabbit legs left, Chi Yuan slowly and methodically tore off the rabbit head.
The rabbit was quickly dismembered.
The couple left the place the next day, saying they would love for all the animals to visit their home.
The animals understood, and from that day on, Shen Yulou's house became a gathering place for them.
Anyone who didn't catch anything to eat today will come here specifically to freeload a meal.
That day, Chi Yuan was painting the wall outside when he suddenly heard Shen Yulou's exclamation.
"Chi Yuan, come up here quickly!!"
Seeing the boy peeking out of the window, his face beaming with excitement, Chi Yuan's emotions were stirred as well.
"What's wrong?"
Following the sound to the bedroom, they saw Shen Yulou holding the baby and squatting in front of a pothos plant.
"The caterpillar is going to turn into a butterfly!"
Chi Yuan straightened his clothes and sat down next to Shen Yulou.
He saw a Cypriot Morpho butterfly guarding its pupa.
Isn't this the one he studied before? How come it's still alive? This is too abnormal...
Despite his doubts, Chi Yuan immediately took out his phone to record this transformation and rebirth.
The butterfly inside was struggling, and tiny cracks began to appear on the seemingly solid cocoon wall, which gradually spread and widened.
Finally, with a slight cracking sound, a small gap appeared.
The little butterfly couldn't wait to squeeze out through the gap, its head peeking out first, followed by its still somewhat delicate body.
Embraced by the air and fluttering with effort, the butterfly's soft wings slowly become strong and elastic.
The colors gradually appeared, as if they had been gently painted by a magical brush, vibrant and dazzling.
Just like Shen Yulou, Zai Zai squatted there, not daring to breathe loudly.
The little butterfly fluttered its wings at the edge of the flowerpot, and finally flew to the Cyprus Morpho butterfly that had been guarding it and snuggled close to it.
"Oh!"
The little one needs to have some little butterflies pasted on too!
The little guy finally dared to speak up and even stretched out his hand.
Two butterflies obligingly flew to the baby's chubby hand.
The scene was quite heartwarming when the old Cypriot morpho butterfly was waddling around on the back of the little one's hand.
It struggled to move its feet and wings, trying to stand up, but ultimately crashed headfirst into its cub's arms and died.
"ah?"
The little boy looked up at his two fathers, wondering why the butterfly had stopped moving.
Chi Yuan patted the baby's little head.
"The butterfly went to another beautiful world."
The pain of separation by life and death is a lesson everyone must learn.
But... life is a thousand springs and bright sunshines. When facing death, Chi Yuan and Shen Yulou would rather write a poem for their child.
The little boy clung to Shen Yulou's clothes. No one had ever truly left his side, so he had never felt any unease.
"Perhaps he was holding on until his child hatched before he could pass away peacefully."
Chi Yuan put on gloves and carefully picked up the butterfly's corpse.
With this explanation, the irrational becomes a reasonable miracle.
"Does the little one want to keep seeing it?"
Chi Yuan plans to make this butterfly into a specimen and hang it in their bedroom.
"Da da..."
The little one reached out, wanting the butterfly in Chi Yuan's palm.
Chi Yuan didn't give it to him, but instead asked Shen Yulou to take the little guy to see him make specimens.
