Real freedom is actually very simple. Do what you like, not be kidnapped by morality, not be bound by the worldly hearts, and only be responsible for your own conscience and instinctive preferences. However, many people, from emperors and generals, to flat-headed commoners, traffickers and pawns, are few that can be achieved.
Xiaofen stopped tens of meters away. The red-haired man driving the car was looking over, with a vigilant look in his eyes. Xiaofen didn't know what to do. Because the child was there, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stopped. At this time, the beautiful blond fur man beside the redhead had only Marguerite in his eyes, and said in a bad tone: "I order you now, immediately, immediately follow me back, this is no longer your typhoon shelter, understand?"
Although the distance is far, Xiaofen's ears can hear clearly.
Margaret first asked the two children to find Xiaofen, and then calmly faced the blond man, and said: "Edward, my dear brother, do you want me to live a happy life?"
"When on earth do you want to be willful?" Edward said displeased: "Happiness always comes at a price. You and I know each other's responsibilities."
Margaret said: "Let me be self-willed for a while. Since I was young, everything I have done is what you want me to do. Now, I finally have the opportunity to do something I like to do. You are the most If you love my brother, do you really have the heart to deprive me of this rare free time?"
"Happy times are always short." Edward sighed and said, "You know I've been tolerant enough for you, and our time is precious."
"Then be more tolerant," Margaret begged.
Edward shook his head and said: "Impossible, I have endured so long to come to you, you should understand that this is my limit, Margaret, now the time is up."
Margaret did not want to give up persuading him, and continued to say pitifully, "Dear Edward, please don't do this? Have you forgotten how you loved your sister in the past? Do you really want me to be arranged someday? Marry an old man like Klein or Meeks? I stay here to chase my dream life. Isn't it your responsibility to let me chase my dreams freely?"
Edward condensed his eyebrows in thought, silent for a long time.
"Have you forgotten that when we were eleven years old, we lived in the sewers of London? How did you help me protect me? Remember the blueberry muffin I asked for? You helped travelers carry luggage for a day to earn money When I arrived, I was snatched away by the bastards of Hughes. I couldn't stop crying. You tried to get me back. I remember that you were injured on your forehead at that time." She stepped forward and lifted it with her hands. The blond hair on his forehead said softly: "My brother, today, I found another blueberry muffin, but this time I don’t need you to work hard for me, I just need you to show courage and be you. I want to do what I should do, my brother, life is too short!"
Edward glanced at the red-haired man beside him and said, "Did you let her go on purpose that day?"
The red-haired man said: "Sir, the decision is in your hands, no matter what choice you make, I will follow it to the death!"
Edward turned his gaze back to Margaret’s face, staring for a long time, and said: "Are you sure you can find the life you want here?" As he said, he looked at Xiaofen who was watching from a few tens of meters away. Said: "At such a distance, she shouldn't be able to hear us."
Margaret said: "She is a particularly nice person, don't make her embarrassing."
Edward said, "Your heart has become soft."
Marguerite said: "I just want to cherish time and learn to be myself."
Edward said, "But you are encouraging me to be the kind of person you don't like the least."
Margaret said, "Brother, I know that's what you have always wanted to do."
Edward said: "In the past few years, you have done so many things that I don't want to do in that position. China, Russia, Northern Europe, and the Middle East. It's really embarrassing for you to come along this way."
Margaret said: "You have paid more for me, now is the time to do something for yourself."
Edward said: "If you have been in that position, I actually..."
"Don't say it." Margaret said: "The eagle can't stand the wings of others. Your limit is in the sky. I am your sister. I shouldn't be an obstacle to your flight. I'm not in that position. You Only then can you let go and do what you want to do, brother, I don’t want to stay in the alliance and watch you become vulgar every day, as inhumane as those of Klein and Meeks.” She shook her head vigorously, and said with a stronger tone. : "I don't want to drag you down to become that kind of person."
To advertise, the reading app I'm using recently has a lot of books, full of books, and fast updates!
"I paid a huge price for you to sit in that position, but it turns out that all of this is your sacrifice and compromise for me." Edward looked at Margaret sadly and emotionally, and said: "My dearest My sister, in the name of God, I am willing to give everything for you, but I can’t give you the happiness you want most. If you have everything you want now, then go with you, starting today , I will fight for my dreams and your dreams of freedom!"
"For the dream." Margaret beamed her eyes and looked at Edward, firmly: "Also for our dead parents."
"I will guard you forever." Edward took her into his arms and kissed softly on his forehead, and said: "Go, do whatever you want, from now on, I will only guard. I won't interfere anymore."
Li Muye heard the whole story from Xiaofen. After a long period of thought, he decided to meet Margaret.
She now rents alone in a house in the community where Li Muyuan’s family is located. She makes a living by tuning and teaching children music. She occasionally plays backing music in a nearby Christian church. She has basically achieved self-sufficiency.
In front of the house is a small courtyard with swings and ovens.
Margaret was sitting on the swing, and Li Muye was standing in front of the oven.
"I haven't seen you in a few months." She said with a smile: "Mr. Li Muye, you can't come anymore. I'm afraid I will forget your appearance, but fortunately I still remember the taste you made. That’s great."
Li Muye concocted the delicious food seriously, and the frosty steak was dark brown in color, glowing with oil, and emitting a seductive aroma.
"Miss Margaret, I don't think there is any problem between us, is that right?" Li Muye said suddenly.
Marguerite looked surprised: "Mr. Li, you are a little bit baffled. Did I do something wrong?"
"Maybe, maybe not, I'm not sure of my judgment, but I can be sure now that you don't necessarily need to stay with me." Li Muye expressed the meaning of an expulsion order. This girl is urging her brother to do something big,
"I stayed because I like to stay, that's all, I didn't hinder you, did I?"
"Margaret, I helped you, and I don't expect you to return anything, but I definitely don't want to get into any unpredictable dangers because of you." Li Muye was a little anxious, and continued: "Now, my troubles are over. Enough, I don’t want to add new troubles because of anyone."
"Hehe, Mr. Li, you did help me, but nothing more. I have been here for three months. Have you ever asked you to protect me?" Margaret said, "Or, this is a good one. The community belongs to you and does not allow me to live here? Or, the house I rent is yours? Obviously neither. I am the tutor of your sister's two children. Your family helped me. If you want If I get a reward, I will work harder in return, but if I cause any trouble, it is also my trouble, not yours, okay?"
"It seems that we have reached an agreement." Li Muye said: "It is your freedom to stay. There is only this little relationship between you and me."
"I like the taste of you..." Margaret said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I have experienced many involuntary things. Before that night, I had been hesitating about how to end all that. It was you who flew up. One jump helped me take this step and solved my brother’s confusion. For this, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Both my brother and I have made a decision. He may fail, and I may cause trouble. , But we will not avenge you. Please confirm this."
Li Muye smiled and said: "If you are just a greedy and cute neighbor, of course I don't mind satisfying your taste buds a little bit."
Margaret smiled and said: "I really can't refuse your taste. It's like there was almost no way to leave Chengdu at the beginning. You Chinese are too good at eating. The only problem is that your culture is too unique, even if you are from your own country. Few people can truly appreciate the beauty of it deeply."
"Are you talking about why my catering business can't succeed here?"
"I'm talking about why you have a Chinatown and why it is difficult to integrate into the Western society. Although I don't want to admit it, as a foreigner who has lived in China for a long time, I have to admit that your culture has more advantages. High-level spiritual core. In a world dominated by Western culture, your culture is an alien, full of mystery, and not universal at all. When you introduce the Western scientific exploration spirit into your own cultural world, Your traditional culture has begun a new evolutionary process, and is gradually adapting to and influencing Western cultural traditions."
Li Muye listened with interest, offered a piece of beef, and nodded: "That's good, please continue."
Margaret gushed: "This is an intrusion that is irresistible and must be prevented, because it was unfair from the beginning. Your culture has a profound historical background and was formed after many changes. Flexibility can absorb our advanced things, but our world is still rejecting and rejecting your good things. When the two collide, you are merging and eroding, but we are resisting incomprehensible. In this process, we must There will inevitably be a lot of friction."
Li Muye said: "You are too modest. There are still many people of insight like you in the West. They are learning and using Chinese culture. Even the development of Chinese medicine in China is not as good as that in foreign countries. It has never been able to occupy a place in the mainstream Western food culture."
"Mr. Li, you are too greedy." Margaret cut a large piece of beef and stuffed it into her mouth. It took a long time to chew it and swallow it, looking intoxicated: "It's really a god-like technique, culturally. Differences, people will inevitably have preferences, but taste buds will never lose their fairness. I believe you will succeed, but not now."
"What's the meaning?"
"It means that the world is destined to be diversified in the future. Although your things are very energetic and vital, we will not sit and wait." Margaret winked her eyes playfully and said: "Mr. Li, welcome you Coming to the western world of rivers and lakes, the trouble you are encountering now is just the beginning."
What about him, this big girl has something to say... (End of this chapter)
