When Li Wenhao was seven years old, he went into the woods to catch cicadas. He saw a beautiful butterfly stuck on a spider web, so he went up to it and smashed it. The butterfly flew away freely, but Li Wenhao was stung by a poisonous spider and had a high fever for several days. Li Wenhao almost forgot about this incident, but recently, he often dreamed that the beautiful butterfly flew in front of him and turned into a charming girl in the blink of an eye. After waking up from the dream, Li Wenhao slapped himself in the face: "You are a flower maniac!"
Li Wenhao is a nice guy, tall and handsome, he doesn't smoke or drink. But he dated several girlfriends, but they all broke up with him because he had a paralyzed mother in bed. Li Wenhao's father died when he was very young, and it was his mother who raised him with great difficulty and paid for him to finish college. Li Wenhao is a filial son, and even though he doesn't have much income, he still insists on hiring someone to take care of his mother.
Li Wenhao works in a small company and has a lot of things to do every day. But no matter how busy he is, he has to leave the office before 24:00 to catch the last bus of route 521. There are more than ten stops from the company to home. No matter how bad the weather is, Li Wenhao will not spend money on a taxi. For his mother, he tries to save every dollar.
After Li Wenhao got on the bus, he always saw a long-haired girl sitting in the front seat. She had a slender figure and from the back, she must be a beauty. Li Wenhao was shy and introverted, and was not used to talking to strange girls. After being in the bus for so long, he still didn't have the courage to walk over and look at the girl's face.
This situation continued until autumn. After autumn, winter came. One night when Li Wenhao got on the bus, he didn't see the long-haired girl and felt a little lost. During this lonely journey, he began to get used to staring at her back silently. This feeling was very strange, and Li Wenhao guessed that he fell in love with her.
For several nights, Li Wenhao never met the long-haired girl again. The next stop from Li Wenhao's home was the terminus of bus No. 521. Every time Li Wenhao got off the bus, the girl was still on the bus, which seemed to indicate that her home was near the terminus.
That night, Li Wenhao sat on the last bus of Route 521. He did not get off at the platform downstairs from his home, but sat all the way to the terminal. Then, he gently moved his legs towards home. On this short journey, he hoped to meet the long-haired girl by chance.
As winter was about to pass , I dreamed that my friend had turned into a ghost . A girl leaning against a street lamp was called Li Wenhao. Li Wenhao walked over and saw clearly that it was the girl with long hair. She was really beautiful, with a flawless face. Li Wenhao couldn't help but stop, and at this moment, he was a little suffocated.
The long-haired girl walked towards Li Wenhao lightly and said softly, "You must be wondering how I know your name. Can you please stop asking me? I'll tell you my name, and you won't suffer any loss."
The girl said her name was Tang Yuhan and she was a worker at the city's knitted underwear factory. She was on sick leave at home during this period, so she was not in the same car with Li Wenhao.
Tang Yuhan stretched out her hand and said, "Thank you for accompanying me through that lonely journey every night."
"Me too." Li Wenhao happily shook Tang Yuhan's hand.
Tang Yuhan and Li Wenhao started dating, and what touched Li Wenhao was that Tang Yuhan offered to visit Li Wenhao's mother after she knew that he had a paralyzed mother in bed. When she arrived at Li Wenhao's house, Tang Yuhan acted like a capable hostess and picked out everything that needed to be washed and wiped in Li Wenhao's house. Tang Yuhan also boiled water for Li Wenhao's mother to take a bath. While doing these things, she always had a sweet smile on her face.
Tang Yuhan said, "Brother Wenhao, I see that you don't have much money on hand, why don't you fire the nanny and let me take care of auntie? I don't have to go to work anyway."
Li Wenhao hugged her tightly, unable to hold back the tears in his eyes any longer, "Yuhan, thank you!"
Li Wenhao couldn't find a girlfriend, and his mother had been blaming herself. Now that she saw that Tang Yuhan was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted, she was very happy for her son. The old lady relaxed and became more energetic. Her paralysis was not congenital. She stood in the snow for a long time while selling tea eggs, and her legs froze. Gradually, she could not walk.
Whenever Tang Yuhan had a break, she would massage Li's mother's legs. On sunny days, she would carry the old lady downstairs to bask in the sun and encourage her to stand up. Gradually, she was able to walk with a cane. Li Wenhao could not help but be delighted to see this, while Tang Yuhan's expression gradually became gloomy as Li's mother recovered.
That night, Li Wenhao came home from get off work and saw that his mother had already gone to bed, but Tang Yuhan was not there. Tang Yuhan had always slept with his mother, so where would she go so late at night? Even if she wanted to go home, she should have told her.
Li Wenhao gently woke up his mother. The old lady squinted for a while and said, "I saw Yuhan fell asleep!"
Li Wenhao comforted his mother to sleep, and returned to his room. He saw a note on the pillow. He picked it up and saw that it said: "Brother Wenhao, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. I really don't know how to tell you. I am not Tang Yuhan. I was originally the butterfly you saved that year. I am grateful for your kindness. Because I couldn't bear to see you living in hardship, I exchanged my life with the wizard. I turned into Tang Yuhan, approached you, and took care of your aunt on your behalf. Now your aunt can take care of herself, and it's time for me to leave. The Tang Yuhan you like lives in No. 14, Unit 13, Sunshine Community. She is a good girl, don't miss her…"
Li Wenhao could not read any more. He covered his face with his hands, afraid of waking his mother, and choked and sobbed softly.
A few nights later, on the last bus of bus 521, Tang Yuhan said to Li Wenhao: "Wenhao, during the days when I was on sick leave, I had the same dream every night. I dreamed that a beautiful butterfly led me to a family. There were only mother and son in this family. The mother was paralyzed in bed, and the son was a rare filial son. His filial piety deeply moved me. The last time I had this dream, the butterfly actually spoke. She said to me: 'I leave Brother Wenhao to you. You must treat him well.' The next day, you came to my house to propose marriage. When I knew your name was Li Wenhao, you don't know how shocked I was. This world is such a coincidence!"
Li Wenhao said: "This is not a dream. There really is such a beautiful butterfly. She will be a memory of our lives."
