[Comprehensive classics] Let Gao Leng learn the language

How should Cornelius be properly informed of this bizarre incident?Ms. Gao Leng fell into helpless contemplation.

After a while, she said, "What I'm about to say may be beyond your understanding, but I promise that what I said is true."

"Rosa, in order to be able to unravel the confusion that has surrounded me all this time, I have long been anxious. You can just say it."

Ms. Gao Leng glanced at him carefully before she continued: "I am an employee of the Space-Time Administration, this word may be unfamiliar to you, the Space-Time Administration is in charge of the fate of people living in all dimensions... ..."

"You..." Cornelius widened his eyes in surprise.

Ms. Gao Leng pinched his trembling arm, and continued: "Cornellius, the reason why I can travel in various spaces is because I accepted the task of the Administration, and I must complete the task before I can go back, and you, you are One of the tasks."

"I did not get it."

His voice was trembling with excitement, and his eyes were ignited like fire.

Ms. Gao Leng grabbed his arm tightly and explained: "Cornelius, the next words may be difficult for you to accept, but I should really tell you these truths, otherwise I will be ashamed of your friendship with me." .”

Cornelius sensed, like a weather detector, that the incoming words would sweep over his heart like a dark cloud, and he turned his hands and clasped her slender arms tightly, and said eagerly, "Don't Say it! Stop it! I already know I want to know."

His strong reaction aroused unspeakable guilt in Madam Gao Leng's heart like knocked water, she held his wrist back and said in a soft voice: "Calm down, Cornelius, you have the right to know the truth .”

His hands loosened, and he lowered his head dejectedly. It took him a long time to get ready. He raised his eyelids, and his eyes were filled with melancholy and haggardness.

Ms. Gao Leng held back the guilt that kept rushing towards her like a turbulent torrent in her heart, and said: "My task is to fulfill the obsession of the heroine in each book..."

She felt him hold her arm tightly again, like a drowning man grasping helplessly at a straw that was destined to sink him.

Guilt had reached its peak, and she had a sudden impulse to hug Cornelius tightly, and said in a trembling voice: "And you, Cornelius, you are the man of the book "Black Tulip". The protagonist, the heroine Rosa, because you always put flowers before her, you have a lot of resentment, so my task is to replace her to fulfill her dream of the first place in your heart."

These words exploded in his ears like cannonballs, he could only feel his ears ringing, everything around him was hidden, he seemed to be scorched by a thunderbolt, and he might collapse to the ground fragilely at any time.

It wasn't until the warm touch on his numb face brought him back to his senses.

"Then your name is Echo?"

He took the hand she had slapped on his face with concern.

He gradually regained his composure, and the feelings of nostalgia and admiration for her surged into his heart like a tide again, washing away all the other unfavorable emotions for him.

"Echo is my English name, and my Chinese name is Gao Leng. I am Chinese."

When it comes to Chinese names, Ms. Gao Leng, who has always been calm, is a little uncomfortable.

An imperceptible blush seemed to tease Ms. Gao Leng, coloring her cheeks without her consent.

Cornelius' eyes caught the blush on her cheeks, as all careful lovers do, and his heart was filled with a sweet feeling, and the heart beat violently, as if a heart had just been surrounded by spring water.

He put her hands to his lips and kissed her twice affectionately.

He looked at her tenderly and affectionately, and asked, "Then what should I call you in the future?"

The act of Cornelius being able to accept her explanation so quickly moved away the boulder that weighed on her heart, and his warm energy was transmitted like an electric current, and she felt a little heat in her heart and a little fever on her face. .

She stammered, "You...you...you can call me echo. I usually use my English name."

"Echo." He said her name affectionately, like the beautiful music played on the keys, her name danced on the tip of his tongue, which made him feel a wonderful joy.

The echo of his calling her name swept away her thoughts like a tide, and she stood in front of him like a sculpture, only her blushing face confirmed the youthful life flowing in her body.

In Cornelius' eyes, her reaction was a response to his love. He hugged her tightly in his arms excitedly, and shouted happily: "Echo! Echo! Echo! My dear." Echo! I love echo!"

Uncontrollable excitement and joy flowed in every vein of his veins, Madam Gao Leng felt her feet lighten, and it was Cornelius who excitedly lifted her up, hugged her and circled in mid-air.

She hugged him in amazement to prevent accidentally falling off him.The white skirt covering her body held her up like a blooming lily, and her hair became fluffy due to the artificial wind, adding a touch of laziness and charm.

Cornelius kept looking into her eyes, and when his image was clearly reflected in her eyes, he raised his face and pursed his lips to kiss her.

A pair of white hands blocked him ruthlessly.

He cast his pitiful eyes unreservedly into her eyes.

Ms. Gao Leng only felt that this pitiful gaze shot directly into her heart, a crack opened in her heart, and he was getting in bit by bit.

This thought took her by surprise, and while she was fascinated by it, Cornelius kissed her again.

The warm, sweet breath came from her, and the corners of his mouth were raised to outline a satisfied smile.

When he let go of her lips and she gasped on his shoulder in despair, he said, "echo, what is your identity now?"

"Let me down first."

He reluctantly put her back on the ground.

Ms. Gao Leng breathed a sigh of relief as soon as she landed like a person who is afraid of flying in the sky, and she replied: "Daisy Buchanan, Tom Buchanan's wife, lives in East Egg Village, and their The villa is right next to you. My mission here this time is to be with Gatsby."

A gleam flashed in Cornelius' eyes, then dimmed again, and he asked: "If I hadn't become Gatsby, would you have been with him?"

"How could it be, how could it be," Ms. Gao Leng denied hastily, and then said, "Daisy hopes that Gatsby can be treated well. I will divorce Tom Buchanan first, and the matter with Gatsby, as long as I agree to get along with Gatsby." With him together, I think the task should be completed, and I will immediately enter another dimension."

"Then divorce now."

The author has something to say: a little late, sorry.

☆, end

The sea is like a blue dream, its color is as gorgeous as blue stockings, above the sea is the blue sky like a child's iris.From the western sky, the sun casts little golden discs into the sea--if you look carefully, you can see these discs jumping from wave to wave, until they meet a line that stretches half a mile wide. The golden halo gathers and finally turns into a dazzling sunset.About halfway between the Florida coast and this golden halo lay a snow-white motorboat, imposing and elegant, and under a blue and white canopy at the stern a brunette reclined on a wicker In the recliner, I read Flaubert's "Madame Bovary".

She is about 19 years old, with a tall and soft figure, an indifferent mouth, and a pair of flexible black eyes covered with a veil of isolation from the world.Her bare feet were propped up on the arm of another recliner beside her, and her feet were not so much dressed as they were in a pair of blue silk slippers, which dangled carelessly on her toes.While reading a book, she used half a lemon in her hand from time to time to let her taste buds enjoy it a little.The other half, sucked dry, lay on the deck at her feet, rolling slowly back and forth with the slight heaving of the waves.

Suddenly, the languid silence enveloping the motorboat was broken by the sound of heavy footsteps, and an old man with white hair and neat hair in a white flannel suit came to the port of the gangway.He stayed there for a while until his eyes adjusted to the light, and then he saw the girl under the canopy, and let out a long, complaining murmur.

"Ardita!"

"..."

Ms. Gao Leng put down the half lemon she held in her mouth. She yawned and sat up from the chair. She blinked and looked at the old man.

Her eyes were quite helpless, and she could predict what the old man would say next.

"I just took a call from shore."

Ms. Gao Leng listened silently.

The old man continued: "Colonel Moreland has called. He asked me to come back and confirm with you about taking you to the dinner party. His son Toby came all the way to New York just to see you. I will ask the last question Once again, do you..."

"No," Ms. Gao Leng said flatly, "I won't go."

Ms. Gao Leng's stubbornness made the old man very helpless. She was good at everything but refused to get married. The old man said softly, "I'm going ashore. I will go out again at 9 o'clock tonight. When I come back, we will set off for New York , go there and let your aunt guide you."

"No matter who you say, my mind will not change."

The old man had no choice but cast a helpless look at his niece, turned around and ran down the gangway quickly.

Ms. Gao Leng shrugged her shoulders a little discouraged and lay down on the chair again.

The figure of Cornelius stepped into the avenue of her thoughts again with familiar steps.

She and Cornelius were separated for 19 years, and she lived in this world as Ardita and in her own face for 19 years.

Cornelius was always blown like a cloud in the sky of her life by a breeze of memory.

The 19 years not only did not erode her goodwill towards Cornelius, but on the contrary ignited the small flame like fuel.

Ms. Gao Leng was immersed in a heavy sentimental emotion until she felt the sunlight dimming above her head.

At five o'clock, the sun is like a passionate lover, throwing himself into the soft embrace of the sea, the mistress.

All of a sudden, a breeze blowing over the tassels of the awning and the blue slippers brought a fresh fragrance.

Ms. Gao Leng bulged her nostrils and stretched her neck to sniff lightly.

She heard the sound of oars hitting the blue water.

Fifty feet away a large rowboat was approaching, and there were seven men on board, six oars.

Curiosity made her stand up and walk to the side of the boat.

She leaned against the railing and watched them.

The rowboat was filled with tulips of various colors, and she glanced at the people at the bow in amazement.

"Cornelius!" she exclaimed in shock.

Her body tilted forward unconsciously from the heightened shock.

Cornelius was so frightened by this dangerous action that he lost the tranquil state of mind that he intended to surprise her, and he replied loudly: "Echo, be careful!"

The rowboat rubbed against the edge of the yacht, until Cornelius walked over the escalator, Ms. Gao Leng still hadn't recovered from this incredible reunion like a dream.

"Oh! My God!" she said in bewilderment.

Cornelius had taken her in his arms.

When he really felt her warm body temperature, he let out a comfortable sigh.

He hugged her tightly, smelled her fragrance, and said, "echo! We will never be separated again!"

His words swept past her ears but did not bring her back to consciousness.

He went on in a peaceful delight, "Do you remember Rosa? I saw her—"

"what?"

she asked in surprise.

"Rosa."

He let go of her, put his arms around her two slender arms, and replied.

He looked into her dark eyes and said, "She originally resented my love with you, but now she has figured it out. The Space-Time Administration has allowed me to come to you."

This huge surprise made Ms. Gao Leng tremble all over. She couldn't believe it, and asked in a trembling voice: "How is it possible? How could it be? They never replied to me!"

She couldn't help her eyes turning red when she thought of the sadness of receiving empty echoes over the years.

Cornelius took her face in his hands and pressed a soft kiss on her face. They were close to each other, and a spark of love burst out here. He said: "I have been in "Black Tulip" all these years. , I always keep my memory, I never loved Rosa again. I know exactly who my heart is full of."

"It's unbelievable! Cornelius! I thought I was going to grow old alone in this world! You know what? I've been here for 19 years! 19 years! Since I was a baby! And no one told me this time My mission! I pass the time peacefully like a fool! Life is as quiet as death! Thinking of you often oppresses my nerves! I always feel that my nerves are always tight like ropes, and a little change can Makes me nervous and I try to relax and enjoy the time with a peaceful mind."

Ms. Gao Leng hugged him tightly, and she pressed her face against his broad chest.

"Echo, now you don't have to worry anymore. We will live together for the rest of our lives. My current identity is Colonel Moreland's son Toby."

"Toby?"

She raised her face and stared at him.

He nodded and said, "We can be together openly and aboveboard."

He held her face again and observed her carefully.

She blushed a little and turned her face away.One side said: "What is this for?"

"Let me take a good look at you. So beautiful. My echo is so beautiful."

Her eyelashes fluttered slightly with shyness, and she glanced at him and then looked away.

Her gaze, like a torch, ignited his exhausted heart over the years with raging love, he leaned close to her face, and kissed her.

After a kiss, she thought of asking him how he knew that this was her own appearance.

With a smile in his eyes, he said, "I've learned everything about Echo. I haven't been here for long, and the Space-Time Administration has arranged for me. Colonel Moreland and your uncle plan to have Toby come here to find you."

She is very beautiful, and because of her indifferent personality, her exquisite facial features often exude a glamorous demeanor.

Most remarkable were her eyes, with dark brown pupils that sometimes appeared to be pure black against the backdrop of thick, long lashes.When she meets your gaze, her indifferent personality will not make the gaze as cold as ice, but will arouse the fire in your heart.

"Unexpected!" she exclaimed.

Cornelius was overwhelmed with inexpressible joy, and he willingly let his heart prostrate itself before her bewitching gaze.

He said, "Let's get married. I'm going to grow black tulips as our wedding gift. Black tulips! Thanks to you, the matchmaker!"

The author has something to say: The Offshore Pirates is an article in Fitzgerald's "The Fly Girl and the Philosopher" anthology. I really like this novel, short story.If you like Fitzgerald, you can go and see it. It's very interesting. The heroine is a very flamboyant character.The text ends here.I originally wanted to write a longer one, but I didn't have much interest in this novel, and I didn't like these two characters very much, so I couldn't continue writing.To end with Fitzgerald's novel is to thank a reader who likes Gatsby's novel for his support.Sorry, can't continue writing.Thank you friends who have followed this article.
