Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 48 Dialogue Between Men

"Isn't it? I got a headache just after drinking a little? It's really useless." Rhett laughed at him, but soon found that this was not the case, and his face immediately became serious. "What's the matter, Jack? Is it because I don't feel well or..." But Jack waved his hand and forced a smile at him: "It's nothing, Mr. Rhett, it's just that I seemed to remember something, but then I forgot what I remembered. Never mind your champagne and whiskey, they're good."

"It's like this again? How many secrets do you have, so many that you don't even remember." Rhett's eyes became deep, and he stared at him for a while, until he lowered his head in embarrassment, his joints twitched. Bai's hand almost crushed the glass.

"Don't be so nervous, Jack." Rhett asked him to raise his head, and comforted him: "It's okay if you can't remember some things, anyway, even if you remember it, it's no use, maybe you will feel that you might as well forget about it .As it is now, at least I still have some good expectations in my heart. If you don’t think about some things, they won’t bother you anymore.”

"Why do you adults think so? It's too hypocritical." Rhett just realized who the other "adult" he was talking about was, and he continued: "But this is normal, anyway, you have a lot of things to do, It’s wise not to remember or unwilling to remember some things, okay, only you know.” He didn’t care that Rhett’s face darkened again, and continued: “But I’m different from you, I want to What I want is a complete self, not a crippled dummy. Now my appearance is not my real appearance at all. Even if it can bring me more benefits and be liked by everyone, I don’t want to go on like this forever .Because that's not true happiness, even if I had a feeling of happiness at the time, but after that there is nothing but emptiness. The person in front of you now is not me, but the person you want me to be. I don't want to be twisted like this After a lifetime, I didn’t do anything worth remembering until the end, only to find out what I missed.”

"Of course you can have your own opinion on this. Other people's opinions are at most just a reference. Don't let them affect your judgment." Rhett understood what his last sentence meant. Although he said it to himself, he still A trace of unhappiness flashed across his eyes. "Of course, in turn, your opinion is just a reference for others. Everyone has their own opinion, and you should not try to influence them."

"Everyone has their own opinion, of course I know that. The question is who is right. It is impossible to be right for all. I learned in school that there is always only one truth." Although Jack still had his head Halo, but I still heard the implication of this sentence.He admired in his heart, who said that Americans can't speak.

"What you want is right. Everyone has what they want, so there is no unchanging truth. You can't believe everything in the book, otherwise you will be a nerd." Rhett told him patiently. Explain, it seems that I don't want to continue this topic.But Jack was so absorbed in his own world that he ignored his hints.

"Someone in China also said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books. But the things in the books should still be useful, otherwise why do you need books? As for what you said, what you want is right, but why do you want it? If you don't think about these things, if you don't think about these things, even if you get what you want, you won't be happy." Seeing Rhett's expression lost in thought, he The mind that was a little confused by the alcohol suddenly remembered the original purpose of coming here.He used his willpower to dispel the remaining alcohol in his body, and when Rhett spoke again, his mind was fully awake, and his bright black eyes looked at him deeply, because he was too focused, even his body The smell of alcohol was also ignored by him.

"There are more useless books in the world than useless people." Rhett answered his first question first, then fell silent for a while, and then spoke with reluctant approval in his tone. "You are right, what you want does not necessarily make you happy, unless you understand why you want it and what will happen in the future. Unfortunately, few people in the world can understand. Fortunately, I am one of them, and you Count one. Cheers to the few sensible people in the world!" He raised his glass again, and Jack poured a glass too, touched him but didn't drink.

"Probably you think you understand it very well, I don't think so. You really understand people's wisdom. Everyone looks like they have no clothes in front of you-this is just an analogy, don't be angry-but You're not good at self-knowledge. Of course, not only you, but everyone in the world can't fully understand themselves." Jack blocked his view with his glass, pretending to be absorbed in drinking.Until Rhett roughly snatched the glass from his mouth, causing him to choke on the wine, and the foam rushed into his throat and nasal cavity, causing him to cough violently.

"If you talk nonsense like this again, I will fight you. Even if you are a child, I don't care about the rules." Although Rhett was threatening him, his voice was well controlled. "Don't you know me better than I do?"

"Maybe I don't know you as well as you know yourself, but I know exactly what you don't know about yourself." Jack ignored his threat, looked at him quietly, and said in a calm tone: "Okay, please don't Look at me with the eyes of the enemy, I am afraid. You don't care about slander, if it is a slander; you don't care about others telling the truth, Miss Scarlett told me long ago, you are the favorite Tell the truth and like to listen to the truth. It's a good habit, I hope you don't throw it away just because you want to be a bloody gentleman." He quietly broke into a smile, watching his expression change. The anger became peaceful, and finally he couldn't help but laugh.

"You are a really interesting kid, and you have more guts than most adults." Rhett looked at him approvingly, "Scarlett met you, it was her luck. But for me, it is not a good thing. "

"I think what's good for her is the same for you. You two are a kind of person, the kind that is very difficult to meet. In our Chinese words, it is a match made in heaven. You are the kind of people who live the most authentic lives, but now It's so sad that you both put on masks. I always think there's some misunderstanding between you two, just explain it."

"I think you have misunderstood both of us, that's why you are so stupid to want to be a good person. It's not easy to be a good person." Rhett blocked his words unceremoniously. "There's no one who knows more about the matter between me and her than I do. If you don't know the situation and want to be a good person, it's not you who are unlucky in the end?"

"That's not necessarily the case. There is a saying in China that the authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, and this is especially true in this kind of matter." Jack easily broke through his blockade, "If you really want to know her as well as you say, why would you tell her? She wants to go back to Charleston by herself, and you clearly know that with her character, she will definitely chase there, but otherwise, I would not be able to meet her, and I would not be able to participate in this legendary story—although passively, But I still have to thank you; if you knew yourself, you wouldn’t be so close to her. Aren’t you always the most resolute and uncompromising, if you really want to divorce her, no one can stop you, unless you don’t want to; have……"

"Okay, I can explain these things to you clearly, it's not what you think." Rhett waved his hand impatiently to interrupt his chatter. "But I don't think it's necessary. I'm not used to explaining to people what I'm doing and why. It takes a lot of time. It's getting late, you can go back." He turned away and ignored Jack.

"You haven't gone back, I won't go back." Jack was unmoved, "Besides, I haven't finished my champagne yet." He sat stubbornly where he was, picked up his glass and drank again.

"You will never give up until you reach your goal. What a stubborn kid." Rhett was not as angry as he expected, but turned his head and smiled at him, "Actually, I think you are quite like me when I was young, even if one Things are wrong, as long as you want to do it, you can keep doing it if you don’t do it. But I still have to explain to you first, don’t waste your efforts. Please explain this to my stupid wife when you go back.”

"Although it was Miss Scarlett who ordered me to come to you, she still doesn't know that I already know about the affairs between you, or it would be strange if she didn't lock me up with her character." Jack took a sip of his wine, because he I really didn't know that Scarlett already knew that he knew about it, so his expression was very sincere, and Rhett couldn't help but believe it. "So I won't tell her this. I still want to continue to settle down in Tara. If you really want to, you can tell her yourself, but I don't know if she believes it or not."

"That's the truth. If she finds out about you, life won't be easy." Rhett looked at him suddenly, "You can drink if you want, I'll wait for you."

"What's the point of drinking alone? Isn't it just to talk when you come to the bar?" Jack looked old-fashioned, making Ritter laugh, "It's no point waiting here alone, anyway, the words have been made clear , as a gentleman, you can't satisfy my curiosity. Tell me about you and Miss Scarlett?"

"I shouldn't have this obligation." Although Rhett said so, he stopped the pace of leaving. "But since you have told me about your affairs, I can also tell you about her and me for the sake of fairness. I know you won't spread the word." He sat back next to Jack again, and his heartfelt words were accompanied by The strong smell of alcohol melted into Jack's increasingly rapid breathing,
