Chapter 4249 4251 [Rose’s troubles]
“…” After leaving the third-class cabin, Rose looked at Xiang Nan, but she didn’t know how to speak, so she had to smile first.
“Let me introduce myself first.” Xiang Nan smiled and said, “My name is Jack Dawson. I am twenty-one years old. I am very happy to meet you.”
"Hello, Mr. Dawson, I am Rose DeWitt Bookett." Rose also introduced herself, "I am seventeen years old. Nice to meet you."
"It's such a long name. You have to write it down so that I can remember it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Hearing what he said, Rose also smiled, and then asked, "Mr. Dawson, are you really a wizard?"
"Really." Xiang Nan nodded, took out a scrap of paper from his pocket, and breathed lightly at it. The scrap of paper suddenly turned into a beautiful butterfly, flapping its wings and flying in the air.
“…” Rose was stunned again.
“Please extend your hand.” Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Rose slowly stretched out her hands. Her hands were white and pink, without any calluses or scars.
This is enough to explain a lot of things. Ordinary civilian women will not have such beautiful hands.
Seeing the butterfly hovering and landing in Rose's palm.
She was surprised and came forward to take a closer look. She was deeply shocked by this scene, "It's so amazing. It's really a butterfly. It's incredible."
Xiang Nan smiled and waved his hand, turning the butterfly into waste paper again.
Rose was stunned and touched the waste paper. Yes, her sight and touch told her that this was a piece of waste paper, not a butterfly.
“Oh my God~” She couldn’t believe it, “This is really true, you really can do magic!”
“I told you so.” Xiang Nan smiled.
"But...but...how is this possible?" Rose still couldn't believe it. After all, she was a highly educated person and she couldn't accept magic.
"Nothing is impossible." Xiang Nan smiled. "Four hundred years ago, people believed that the earth was flat; three hundred years ago, people believed that the earth was the center of the universe; two hundred years ago, people believed that the earth was flat. It is impossible for humans to synthesize organic matter; a hundred years ago, people thought it was impossible for humans to fly...
Although human beings have existed for millions of years, their understanding of the world is still very superficial. "
“I see.” Rose nodded, and then asked in confusion, “Then if you can do magic, why do you still...”
The words came to her lips, but she couldn't ask because she seemed rude.
"You want to ask me why I know magic and would rather stay in the third class with the common people?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
Rose was a little embarrassed.
It’s not that she looks down on common people, it’s just that her aristocratic education has kept her away from these idiots.
“I can always go to first class if I want to.” Xiang Nan explained, “But I won’t do that because first class is too boring.
Nearly everyone is pretentious and sanctimonious, talking about empty and boring topics, talking about nothing more than money, gossip, and enjoyment. He appears to be polite, elegant and dignified, but in fact he is arrogant, vulgar and frivolous.
Comparatively, civilians in third class don’t have to put on airs, so everyone is very real. They live their lives, not just their faces.
Unlike those nobles, who eat all day long and have nothing to do, either dancing or banquets, the same thing. Days like this can be seen all the way through at a glance.Sorry, I speak directly, I'm sorry if it hurts you. "
"It doesn't matter, I agree with what you said." Rose waved her hand and Xiang Nan said exactly what she was thinking.
She was also tired of the boring life in first class. Every day she was either at dances or parties, and the only things she talked about were gossip, wealth, pleasure, money worship, vulgarity and meanness.
“Thank you.” Xiang Nan nodded.
…
"Mr. Dawson..." Rose said again.
“Call me ‘Jack’, I don’t like such a formal title.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Well, Jack, I... I want to thank you for what you did. Not just for... to bring me back, but also for keeping my secret." Rose said again.
“You can do it with a little effort, no need to be polite.” Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"You should look down on me, choosing death so easily, being superficial, impulsive, cowardly, selfish..." Rose said again.
"No, I don't think so." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I will think about what happened to hurt a young lady and make her choose this path of no return."
Rose was stunned and looked at Xiang Nan, "Thank you."
This was the first time she heard such heart-warming words.
“In fact, it’s not just one simple thing, but everything. The environment in which I live, the people around me, and my compromise with fate, all are forcing me, and I am unable to resist.
Feeling like a bug in amber, trapped tightly inside. I wanted to get away... so I ran, ran, ran... Then I got to the railing at the back and there were no other ships there... not even the Titanic was big enough.
Not big enough to get away from them, and by the time I really thought about it, I was already over the railing. How furious I was. I want to show them. They will regret it! "The more Rose spoke, the more excited she became, and she spoke out what was in her heart.
Normally she would not tell these things to a person she had only met twice, but for some reason, she was very relaxed in front of Xiang Nan and did not want to hide anything.
"They may regret it for a while, but you are really dead forever." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "Don't punish yourself with other people's mistakes."
“Oh, God, I’m such a fool.” Rose covered her face and said in pain.
“That man yesterday was your boyfriend?” Xiang Nan asked.
“It’s more than that.” Rose waved her hand, stretched out her palm, and saw a large diamond ring on the **** of her left hand.
"Are you engaged, or with a man like that?" Xiang Nan sighed, "You should refuse, he is not worthy of you at all."
Cal Hockley is a barbaric, vulgar, coquettish, despicable and sinister man. Such a man is not worthy of being with the heroine.
The waiter passing by rolled his eyes at him displeased.
Because the deck they were on was a place where first-class guests took a walk, and Xiang Nan's dress was obviously not of the standard for first-class guests.
"It's not that simple. Five hundred invitations have been sent out, and all the celebrities in Philadelphia will be there..." Rose said helplessly.
"If you really don't go, that has nothing to do with you." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said, "Out of sight, out of mind. As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."
"But my mother...my father's inheritance...we will go bankrupt and she will be **** to death." Rose added.
