In the evening, his cousin Mu Lai came to visit Situ Nan again, and after confirming that his health was fine, he ordered Situ Nan to return to work. (The fastest update speed is in Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) Mu is the sixth mate on the ship, and he is usually responsible for the work of the wheelhouse.
When he went to work at night, Situ Nan patrolled the deck. Fortunately, with Mu's care, Situ Nan didn't have to go to the engine room to work as a coolie.
Visibility tonight was very high, cloudless, and starry on the refreshing sea, different from the eternal yellowness of the city's night sky that Situ Nan had seen in his previous life a hundred years later.
Wider than the earth is the ocean, wider than the ocean is the starry sky, and wider than the starry sky is the human mind! The stars hang down and the plains are wide, and the moon swells and the rivers flow. With the deep sky overhead, I feel much closer to the sky, accompanied by the cool sea breeze, people can't help but feel comfortable, put aside a qiē trouble, and indulge in the bright starry sky.
Looking back at the first-class cabin, it was brightly lit, and after dinner, the first-class passengers held a lively banquet, and the Titanic completely catered to the luxury of those big people, so they sang and danced every night. Even the third-class living environment is very luxurious in Situ Nan's opinion. Situ Nan had to sigh at the greatness of mankind to create such a magical maritime city.
Situ Nan had just walked to the stern of the boat, when he suddenly heard a hurried cry, and hurriedly rushed over, just in time to see that Rose was about to fall into the sea, and Jack was desperately holding Rose's hand.
Wow! The movie really doesn't lie! In front of him, Jack is in the middle of this scene of Master Cameron's carefully planned hero saving beauty!
It's a pity that he was a little regretful that he broke into Situ Nan, an uninvited guest, he rushed over, hurriedly grabbed Rose's other hand, and cooperated with Jack to finally pull Rose up.
It was really thrilling just now, the three huge thrusters in the stern of the Titanic let out a rumbling roar like a beast, stirring up a large splash and pushing the giant ship forward at high speed.
The sea is pitch black, the water is about to freeze, and people who fall into it to study will surely die again, even if they don't fall to death, they will die of cold, and if they don't die of cold, they will drown.
Situ Nan really doubted that if he hadn't come, Jack would have been able to save Rose. It's really "YouJump, IJump".
Bang Bang Bang! Then there was a rush of footsteps, and three sailors rushed up on the deck, just in time to see Rose lying on the floor, and Jack was lying on top of Rose, his shoelaces and coat were taken off, so he thought that Jack wanted to do something wrong to Rose!
One of the sailors immediately shouted angrily: "Get out of here, stand back immediately." ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Knowing that the sailors had misunderstood, Situ Nan hurriedly explained: "He is a good person, he rescued this lady just now." ”
"Oh? Stoney, is that so? What the hell is going on? "The sailor yelled at me before he could see me, and now he's seeing it.
"Hmm." Situ Nan.
Not long after, the ship's picket chief and Hawke came with bodyguards, and when Hawke appeared, he didn't care about Rose but shouted at Jack: "Who made you move my fiancée!" You nasty thing! He scolded as he tugged at Jack's clothes.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Situ Nan was very upset when he saw no one in Hawke's eyes, and said again: "Mr. Hawke, you have misunderstood. It was this gentleman who had just saved the lady. And it came to pass that when I was just on patrol, I heard someone shouting in front of me, and I rushed over and saw that this lady was about to fall into the sea, and this Mr. Dawson was struggling to pull this lady. So I went over and rescued the lady together. I can testify that this gentleman acted in the name of righteousness. ”
"Is that so?" Hawke asked Rose.
"Yes." Rose was still shocked, "That's right, I was lying on the railing looking at the thrusters and accidentally slipped and fell, but fortunately this Mr. Dawson pulled me in time. Later, when the young sailor came over, it was the two of them who saved me. ”
Obviously, unlike in the movie, there is more Situ Nan, a third party, and this explanation is more convincing. And so it is.
Situ Nan knew the picket, and the picket chief believed Situ Nan's words in his heart, but he asked Jack as usual: "Is that the case?" ”
"Yes." Jack replied.
When things finally came to fruition, a wealthy gentleman who came with Hawke couldn't help but exclaim: "These two children are wonderful. Go back for a drink. ”
Hawke didn't say a word, and the supporter Rose walked away, without saying a word, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.
"Shouldn't you give me a reward?" The rich gentleman next to him couldn't look at it and said to Hawke.
"Ah, yes. Just give one $20! Hawke said nonchalantly to his bodyguard.
"Is the woman you love worth the money?" Rose was unhappy with Hawke's attitude.
Originally, Situ Nan wanted to refuse to accept it, but the hands sent by the ghost made the gods seem to be out of control, and as soon as he saw the money, he immediately took it.
Hearing Rose's words was a little embarrassing, he knew that he had just looked too philistine, hey maybe it was the subconscious fault left by his ex! The dead guy was too greedy, and Situ Nan was a little annoyed, but it was Hawke who was more embarrassed than Situ Nan.
I saw Hawke think for a moment, his eyes rolled, as if he remembered some bad idea, turned to Jack and said, "Yes, please have dinner with us tomorrow night!" You can talk about what you did bravely. ”
Hawke said to Jack, looking at Jack's eyes a little provocative, as for Situ Nan next to him, this humble money-greedy sailor, Hawke didn't even look at it, he said that he invited Situ Nan and Jack to dinner, but he obviously didn't have a good impression of Situ Nan, it was just naked contempt.
"Okay. Let's go! Jack took the initiative to say yes for me.
"That said." Hawke's smile was a little playful.
Situ Nan was annoyed by Hawke's arrogance in his heart, and there was no one in his eyes, damn, do you want to wait for the ship to sink and find a chance to kill him! Situ Nan suddenly came up with such a thought, so fierce, he didn't want to be his original self at all, could it be that his soul was integrated into the subconscious of the "ex", and the two souls were mixed together? Situ Nan had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
In just a short moment, so many thoughts flashed through Situ Nan's mind, and he looked at Hawke's back a little coldly.
"Hi Stoney, you're in luck! It's time to go to the first class dinner. The chief picket patted Situ Nan's shoulder and said enviously.
After the chief picket walked away with the sailors, Jack and Situ Nan were left on deck.
"Hey, we're meeting again!" Jack gave Situ Nan a cigarette pinned to his ear and said enthusiastically, this is what he had just gotten from Hawke's bodyguard.
Maybe it's Situ Nan again, Hawke's bodyguard said to Jack, "It's really funny." Why do women slip and you have time to untie your shoes? He didn't say it, but Situ Nan said it quickly.
Seeing Jack's speechless appearance, Situ Nan couldn't help but be happy.
After this incident, Situ Nan simply sat on the overtime bench and chatted with Jack, basically Jack said it again, and Situ Nan listened quietly. Jack is very talkative and has been to many places, especially when Jack talks about women in Paris, Situ Nan is very fascinated by it.
"Jack, jack, it looks like you've taken another step forward in Rose. I hope this extra light bulb doesn't get in your way, buddy. Situ Nan thought to himself, although he didn't know if the Titanic would sink and Jack would die, but Situ Nan felt that Jack was a good friend and hoped to help him.
When he returned to the cabin, Mu was very happy to hear that Situ Nan was fortunate to be invited to the first-class dinner, "Stoney, you are so lucky, so many celebrities, the richest person in the world, I am excited to think about it." Prince Hawke is the son of an American steel king, and he will inherit an astronomical amount of family property in the future, so you must behave well with such a noble person, do you know? Mu admonished.
At the mention of Hawke, Situ Nan was unhappy, but he didn't want to pour Mu's cold water, after all, Mu was also for his own good, so he had to nod again and again.
Nothing was said all night. ・・・・・・
In the evening of the next day, the sun was setting in the west, and the golden sun was softly sprinkled on the sparkling sea.
At the beginning of the lanterns, the first-class dinner of the Titanic began.
Situ Nan wore a dress borrowed from Mu and came to the beautiful first-class dining room neatly, and walked down the grand staircase made of luxurious and exquisite precious wood, Situ Nan saw Jack at the bottom of the staircase imitating the etiquette of the upper class, he was wearing a decent tuxedo, his blonde hair was sparsely turned into a big back, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, radiant, graceful, under the halo of the protagonist, he had a heroic spirit, handsome!
Although Situ Nan also looks talented, he admits that he is not good compared to Jack at this moment. Situ Nan knew that Jack's dress was made for her by Mrs. Brown, thinking of the kind and straightforward Mrs. Brown in the film, Situ Nan had a good impression of her, and the biggest purpose of tonight was to get to know Mrs. Brown in addition to seeing the behavior of these so-called superior people.
"Hello, Mr. Dawson." Situ Nan walked down the stairs and said in a low voice.
Jack looked back and it was Stoney, and he smirked, "Hello, Mr. Stoney." While learning from those big guys, they nodded and bent over.
Dizzy, this kid is still learning well. Although Situ Nan is now a humble sailor, he has attended many big scenes in his previous life, so he is not stage frightened at all, but more of a curiosity. It was the first time for Jack to come to this kind of place, so Situ Nan was quite nervous when he saw him on the surface, although he was calm on the surface.
The two chatted for a while, Hawke came down with Rose's mother in his hand, Jack went up, but unfortunately the hot face caught the cold ass, Hawke's nod seemed to be worthless, and Rose's mother didn't even sweep Jack's eyebrows.
Luckily, Rose showed up just in time, and tonight she dressed up and walked down the staircase with a mythical clock on the wall and a smile on her face.
"The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. Blessed is this boy! Situ Nan was slightly distracted for a moment, and couldn't help but slander in his heart.
Jack's practice finally came to fruition, and he kissed Rose's hand gracefully and smiled playfully, "I've seen it in the movie and I've always wanted to do it." ”
Jack stretched out his arm around Rose's arm, and his head was raised proudly, which made Rose laugh.
"Hello! Miss Rose. Situ Nan bent down slightly and nodded to Rose.
"Hello! Dear sailors! Rose greeted with some playfulness.
Then Rose took Jack to greet Hawke and her mother, but she was not enthusiastic about the arrogant pair of fellows, Situ Nan, and did not follow them out of politeness, but kept a certain distance.
The next few people had another unnutritious conversation, and Situ Nan saw that the demeanor that Jack tried to create was not respected by others.
After entering the dining room, Rose kept introducing the big names on the ship and the secrets open to the high society on the ship, such as Earl So-and-so, the rich man on the ship and his mistress, etc., in short, long and short, no different from ordinary people.
Situ Nan walked behind and found that the restaurant was really luxurious, with warm floors, white ceilings and walls, beautiful crystal lamps, and exquisite tableware, all of which showed that the characters here were superior and elegant.
Jack and the others met Mrs. Brown in the restaurant, and after learning that Situ Nan was also one of the two heroes who saved the beauty, Mrs. Brown enthusiastically took Situ Nan's arm.
Although Situ Nan was not dressed expensively, he was neat and generous, and his gentle smile gave Mrs. Brown a good impression.
Situ Nan and Mrs. Brown walked into the restaurant while chatting happily, and Mrs. Brown's straightforwardness made Situ Nan, who had seen through the hypocritical faces of the so-called celebrities, feel amiable.
Originally, Mrs. Brown was also Jack's female companion, but now she has become Situ Nan's female companion, which makes Situ Nan, who doesn't have to look too embarrassed and cold, happy.
As soon as he was seated, Jack was viciously attacked by Rose's mother, "Mr. Dawson, how is the third class cabin?" I've heard that's pretty good, huh? ”
At this time, the eyes of the whole table were on Jack, why did the third-class passengers eat with us? The big guys seem to have discovered something interesting.
"Pretty good, not a few mice." Jack calmed down and said in a humorous tone.
"He's from third class, and he and this Mr. Sailor saved my fiancée last night, so I'll treat them to dinner tonight." Hawke said lightly.
"Haha, and the sailors are also in first class." Situ Nan seemed to see through the thoughts of the people at this table, so he smiled gently at their curious gaze from beginning to end. Fortunately, Jack attracted the firepower of the son-in-law and mother-in-law of Hawke and Rose's mother, Situ Nan became a soy sauce character, a whole foodie, Situ Nan was so happy that no one cared about it, and happily enjoyed the rich dinner in the first class.
Hawke originally thought that Situ Nan was a vulgar sailor, but he didn't expect Situ Nan to be impeccable on the table, and he should have been trained. However, he still said lightly: "Mr. Stoney, you are a dutiful crew member, and I thank you for your help last night!" But I'm curious why your eyes and hair are black, are you from the East? ”
Situ Nan said: "That's right, my mother is British, my father is Chinese, and I have half Eastern blood. ”
"Oh, I see!" Hawke seemed to have received a very satisfactory answer, and there was a disdain in his words that could not be concealed. During the banquet, many people smiled knowingly, tacitly.
It turns out that you are racist! Aren't you Hawkes also nouveau riche? Why don't you rush to a broken aristocratic woman in England? Didn't you marry to be a façade? Why do you look down on people? If you don't die in this catastrophe, with Lao Tzu's ability, you won't make less money than you!
Situ Nan's heart was furious, and he sneered and said: "According to Darwin's theory of evolution, human beings evolved from monkeys, so everyone's ancestors are monkeys, so no one is more noble than anyone's bloodline. The French Enlightenment thinker Voltaire said that all human beings are created equal. So we are all equal in personality. I think that whether a person is noble or not is not based on his bloodline, but by what he has done! A kind-hearted ordinary man gives a piece of bread to a beggar to eat, and then he is more noble than a triumphant earl who passes by in a carriage and does not care about plucking a hair! For me, even if I am an ordinary crew member, my duty is to take care of the ship to the best of my ability, serving more than 2,000 passengers. In a certain way, I am on an important mission, I think God will agree with that, right? ”
"Haha, that's good!" Mrs. Brown, who was beside Situ Nan, appreciated, not surprised, and retorted for a while, is this a young sailor's expression? Looking at him, his heart is turbulent but his face is calm, stronger than Jack. He should have been well educated, how could he be a sailor? Mrs. Brown was a little confused.
Hawke slammed his nose at Situ Nan, a little unhappy, but he was a very smart person, and he didn't want to provoke Situ Nan, originally he didn't have anything to do with Situ Nan. So when Hawke heard Rose praise Jack for his good drawing, he immediately insinuated sarcastic Jack. Because Jack is her rival,
Poor Jack had just finished dealing with Hawke's Dark Arrow when Rose's mother's spear arrived.
"Mr. Dawson, where do you live? How can you have the money to travel? "Rose's mother is clearly in trouble.
"Now I will live on the ship, and it will be up to God to arrange it later. Usually I make a living by painting, I work everywhere, take cargo ships to and fro, and I can get on the Titanic because I won a ticket by playing cards. What a blessing! Jack said calmly.
"Do you like to wander around? Mr. Dawson. Rose's mother asked, and even fools could see the contempt in her words.
Situ Nan secretly looked at Mrs. Brown next to him, and found that she had made a straight face, and Rose's mother asked Jack relentlessly, and that kind of arrogance made Mrs. Brown very dissatisfied. Usually Rose's mother is lukewarm to Mrs. Brown, and she can't see Mrs. Brown as a nouveau riche clearly, so Mrs. Brown also has a bad impression of Rose's mother.
Situ Nan smiled secretly in his heart: Screw mother, doesn't she want to rely on her daughter to catch the golden beetle? That's why he desperately pushed his daughter to the son of the Iron King? She's no better herself!
In addition to touting that those who are better than themselves are sarcastic and worse than themselves, these boring people need very tough nerves to be in them. Repeating the disgusting hypocrisy of this place every day, no wonder Rose wants to jump into the sea! I wonder if when the Titanic sank, could you guys still maintain a false mask like now? Situ Nan thought viciously in his heart.
Jack is really extraordinary, since he said it, put aside the so-called fucking etiquette, and sit back to his free and easy self, Jack continued: "I like to wander around, and the whole family is not hungry when one person eats enough. I have a healthy body and paper to draw on, and I like the feeling of waking up every day not knowing what opportunities are going or where to go. Two days ago I was sleeping on the flyover, but now I'm able to toast with you on a luxury cruise. Life is given by God and should be cherished. The world is unpredictable, go with the flow, and grasp the time of life. ”
This passage is wonderful, Jack does not feel inferior because of difficulties, but is full of optimism about life.
Mrs. Brown immediately exclaimed, "Seize the time!" She raised her glass.
"Seize the time!" Everyone in the room raised their glasses and agreed, and Jack said that Hawk and Mother Rose were speechless.
This jack is really powerful, he turned the situation around so quickly, no wonder he was able to pry the corner of the rich second generation! Situ Nan thought to himself.
Situ Nan ate relatively quickly, and when he was almost full, he saw the band next to him playing in the restaurant, and his heart itched, so he got up and said "excuseme!" Thanks to the hospitality, I can't repay it, so let me play a song for you now! ”
Situ Nan walked up to the band and asked the pianist to play a piece for him. The pianist played for these first-class passengers all day long, and he was tired of it, and when he heard Situ Nan's request, he happily gave up the piano, how could he not read?
Situ Nan glanced back over there and found that they were looking at them curiously, so he nodded at them, turned around and sat down in front of the piano, tuned the tune, and his expression became focused, just like countless times, he played the theme of the movie Titanic in his previous life, "Myheartwillgo."
on》.
・・・・・・A soft melody sounded in the restaurant, and the notes from the piano seeped into people's hearts like a cool stream, like the two of them singing in their ears, which immediately captured the hearts of the audience.
Looking at Situ Nan's skillful keys, many people know that this young pianist should have some ability, so let's wipe their ears. Only the violinist Lao Bi, who was standing beside Situ Nan, secretly admired in his heart, looking at the young man's focused demeanor, this song that he had never heard of contained deep feelings.
After a shallow chanting and singing, it was as brilliant as fireworks, and the melody gradually became cheerful, and the scene was open and magnificent, as if a feast was being held, and the guests appeared with smiles on their faces.
Then the magnificent momentum paused slightly, the rhythm softened, and slowly sank, as if a casual encounter slipped away in a faint instant, and people couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
After a short period of low tide, the rhythm gradually climbed, as if absent-minded for a while, turned around at the school gate on a weekend, and met the girl he liked last time.
The rhythm of "Ding Ding Ding ・・・・・・" began to become pleasant and moving, and it was repeated several times in a row, just like a man and woman in love dating step by step, the relationship got better and better, the two went on a date together, the dining hall, the classroom, the library, the stadium, you sat on the back of my bicycle, and everywhere there was our laughter. Situ Nan flicked a smile on his face.
The melody gradually became high, just like the relationship between the two was hot, and it was difficult to separate. After a sudden and rapid change, it was like a crisis in the relationship between the two, and they were tormenting each other.
The expression on Situ Nan's face became more and more severe, and he kept tapping the keyboard harder, and the rhythm became faster and faster, as if he was experiencing pain in his heart.
The faster Situ Nan played, the more he played, the more passionate he became, his ten fingers jumping back and forth frantically on the keyboard, love and pain entangled with each other.
Until the beginning of a lingering and soft melody replayed, as if after the storm, the Yiren have disappeared, leaving only me stupidly staying in the place where I love you, constantly looking for your shadow in my memory.
Looking back on the past, people have been vast, the depths of the sea hide my deepest thoughts, and the sound of the wind lingers in my ears, which is the whisper of my heart to you; The surging tide, that's the thought of you in my blood.
Vier, I finally lost you, but you still live in my heart.
As soon as the song was played, the whole restaurant was silent, and everyone was still immersed in the classic lingering melody. Although this is a new song that I have never heard before, music is the most straightforward language, the most sincere emotion, and everyone present is infected, and they can't help but think of their unforgettable lover!
Situ Nan stood up and said with two lines of tears in his eyes: "It'sforme, and."
you!” Situ Nan glanced at Jack and then at Rose, only Situ Nan himself knew the deeper meaning of this sentence.
Bowing, in a round of applause, Situ Nan turned around and walked away from this upper-class restaurant, and then he never came here again until the Titanic sank.
Situ Nan didn't notice an unfamiliar gaze in the restaurant: she couldn't understand why such a young boy could play such vicissitudes of music.
