Grasp the farming script in the famous book

What exactly were they talking about that afternoon?

Looking back afterwards, Roland always felt very irritable.

She remembered Rhett saying that he had always been "the one being chased", and now that he had finally found what he "wanted to chase", he felt like there was an invisible wall in front of him.

Roland understood what he meant, and what the "invisible wall" he described was, but she couldn't say it.

She is a person with self-awareness from outside the plane; he is a holographic virtual character built in the plane based on the "original character design" and algorithms.

This pursuit is doomed to fruitlessness.

If he is smart, he should listen to her advice.

As for her, now she just wants to complete this plane well.

But the question is—why does it bother her whenever she thinks about this discussion with Rhett?

"Lan Lan," her manager cat Luna appeared in front of her with her waist twisting.

Since coming to New Orleans, Maomao can enjoy all kinds of dried fish every day, and often there are crayfish and squid rings as a supper.This "black-and-white flower" inevitably "fat" a little and is in urgent need of exercise.

When Rhett saw this extremely cute kitten, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Scarlett, is this your cat?"

He stretched out his hands, trying to pick up the cat.

Unexpectedly, the cat suddenly exploded, wishing that every cat hair on its body would stand up.Followed by a scream of "meow", the black and white flower stopped suddenly in front of Ruide, turned around, twisted its waist, and quickly jumped into Roland's arms, buried its head in Roland's chest, and did not look up at all.

"Red, my cat...recognizes life."

Roland held the kitten and explained to the man.

Bai Ruide thought for a while, and suddenly smiled as if he understood something, and said: "I was rude, please your cat...forgive me."

After Rhett left for a long time, Roland put her cat on the table and asked softly, "Luna, what's going on?"

Luna wronged Bala and said, "She is a girl! How can she be hugged casually?"

"But……"

Roland still didn't quite understand, "Will brought you all the way to New Orleans?"

Luna was held by Will Benting all the way, and came to New Orleans with Wade.

Why is it okay for Will to hold it, but not for Rhett?

Luna: "Lan Lan, you..."

The cat raised its tail, turned around, pretended to be angry, and ignored Roland.

But Mao Mao was still aggrieved: Regarding the identity of Bai Ruide, the producer specifically asked Luna not to disclose any information to Roland-they were afraid of affecting the player's natural performance.

But this news is obviously very important, and it may have a huge impact on her family's future career and love life.

what can we do about it?

The little kitten raised its tail, its eyes twitched, and began to think of a way.

"Tommy's Kitchen" welcomes a pair of very special guests.

When Roland saw these two, his heart jumped again: it seemed that she was divided into two halves again. The rational side felt comforted by the arrival of the female guest, while the emotional half felt comforted by the arrival of the female guest. The male guests were ecstatic.

The visitors were Wei Xili and Melanie.

The two of them came to visit Roland and Wade with their child Beau.

Since they could come here from the wealthy area of ​​the upper city to see her, Roland had to entertain them for lunch—the current kitchen was full of all kinds of fresh ingredients purchased by Rhett, and Roland's cooking skills It became more and more exquisite, and in almost a moment, several exquisite snacks and a main course were served on the table.

When the Ashleys came, Rhett Brad went to the Local Affairs Bureau, just in time for the three of them to sit down and talk.

"Wow!"

Melanie's eyes lit up when she saw the dishes on the table: "Scarlett, you made all of this?"

Roland hurriedly stopped Melanie: "Most of the ingredients are seafood, Melly, you'll be fine if you try it, I'm afraid it won't digest well if you eat too much."

Melanie smiled so hard that her eyes were almost narrowed.But she still borrowed a small bowl from Roland first, took out the rice, mixed it with delicious fish juice, and fed it to Bo who was sitting on her lap.

Wei Xili sat next to Melanie, his eyes were both surprised and bewildered.

He really didn't expect that Roland has become such a refreshing little woman now.

Look at this small restaurant, the tables, chairs and floor are spotless, and all kinds of utensils and wine utensils in the counter are placed in an orderly manner.The decoration of the restaurant is not luxurious, but it is very warm - it is almost completely different from what he saw when he came here on the night of the sword fight.

And Roland was not the toilsome appearance he had imagined in advance: she was neither pale nor haggard... On the contrary, she sat opposite her, straightening her waist vigorously.

And Wade, who was sitting next to Roland, was also like a little adult, eating with a knife and fork by himself, and would stop when the adults were talking, raise their eyes and listen quietly.

Wei Xili remained silent the entire time, without saying a word, and only nodded at Melanie when everyone had consumed almost all the food on the table.

Melanie asked softly: "Scarlett, that... wife you mentioned last time, lives upstairs, right?"

Melanie had expressed sympathy and respect for Mrs. Munro the last time they had met at Vientiane's.She had mentioned to Roland at that time that she wanted to see Mrs. Munro.

Roland nodded.

Melanie immediately asked little Wade: "Wade, can you take your aunt and cousin to meet Mrs. Munro? Can you introduce them for aunt and cousin?"

Wade jumped out of the chair with a "whoosh" sound, held Melanie's skirt, and walked towards the stairs.

Melanie turned her head, smiled and nodded at Roland.

Roland immediately understood: the couple came here together, neither to visit him, nor to see Mrs. Munro—it was Wei Xili who wanted to talk to him.

Roland could feel the joy in her heart, but reason made her frown: Wei Xili should have discussed with Melanie to come together, and Melanie might not be able to say this, so Wei Xili Let's open this mouth.

It must not be a good word.

"Scarlett, you guessed it right—this time our husband and wife are here to deliver a message."

Looking into Roland's eyes, Wei Xili knew that she had guessed all the reasons for their visit.

"The last time you left with... caused a lot of criticism in the city."

He was referring to the last time Roland and Rhett Brad left the wedding together. The interesting thing was that he couldn't get the name "Rhett Brad" out of his mouth.

"The ladies feel the need to remind you that you should come back."

He didn't say anything, but Roland knew what he was referring to - quickly return to that system.

Roland immediately smiled mockingly at Wei Xili: "Ladies? Mrs. Merryweather? Mrs. Elsing... who else? Oh, Ashley, I never thought that the size of Twelve Oaks My son, a rich man who has established a firm foothold in New Orleans, you will be reduced to the point of being a mouthpiece for those ladies?"

Wei Xili's face flushed instantly.But these words are what the class he belongs to, the small society connected by various kinship relations, requires him to say.

"More than that, they think you—"

"Either you go back to Tara or Atlanta, or you marry . . . "

He still doesn't seem to have the guts to say the name "Bryde".

"It's too embarrassing for everyone now."

Wei Xili finally finished what he needed to say, and let out a "huh".

Roland's two long eyebrows raised immediately, and those who knew her well knew that this was a sign of her anger.

"Oh... did I embarrass everyone? Why?"

She was asking the question knowingly: what made those people in the old system look down upon was that she was "close" to Brad, but she didn't marry him.

As a widow, she should either honestly keep her virginity for her dead husband and live like a dead wood, or find someone to remarry and return to a normal married life.

Now, like Roland, it is unacceptable to "freely" dissociate between the two.When relatives and friends rushed to tell each other, they all felt that their faces were dull, as if they were the ones who disobeyed women's morals.

Even if Roland avoided far away at the junction of the upper city and the lower city, and they would not interfere with them, as long as she "existed", they would feel a thorn in their backs and had to send Wei Xili and his wife. To get rid of her "heterogeneous".

Hearing her rhetorical question, Wei Xili blushed, his eyes were filled with shame and sincerity.

"Scarlett, go back to Tara, or go back to Atlanta!"

He looked up at Roland, and Roland felt that tears were rolling in his eyes.

"You are no longer short of money." He sighed in vain, "You can live well in Tara, and in Atlanta you will be one of the richest wives among your relatives and friends..."

"Ashley, if you understand me, you should know that it's not about money."

Roland scowled.

She never opened this restaurant for money, what she always wants is the sense of accomplishment brought by her career and the satisfaction brought by helping others.

"I know……"

His voice suddenly became hoarse.

"I know."

He propped his elbows on the table and his forehead with his hands, and the gray hair on his forehead was messed up by him.Avoiding Roland's sight, he said in a low voice, "Scarlett, how much I envy you."

"I know why you must leave 'us' and this class."

Wei Xili said before daring to be sympathetic that these are all "pretending to be ignorant".

"We are just a group of dying people, but we still have to bind every member of our group tightly around us..."

Roland said frankly: "Ashley, you think too highly of me. I'm not a complicated person. I just want to make my life more comfortable."

"I'm sure I'm living comfortably. Do you understand, Ashley?"

"What I'm doing now is like swimming against the current. Every step forward takes a lot of energy, because the currents and the forces around me are putting pressure on me and pushing me backward every moment. rush."

"Once I decided to turn around and go with the flow, it was immediately easy."

"But, Ashley, I have exhausted my strength to get out, and have come so far, that if I look back now, I will be swept away by the current, and all my previous efforts will be in vain. "

"And I won't be willing, and I don't want to be pushed around, to be told what you should do and what you shouldn't do—Ashley, do you understand me?"

Wei Xili raised his head at this moment.She finally saw the tears in Wei Xili's eyes clearly.

It was clearly written in his eyes: I understand, I understand, I feel the same as you.

But when he spoke, he used an unusually soft voice: "Even if it's for me, you...wouldn't you like it?"

Roland suddenly changed his face.

Her heart felt like a violent blow.

Yes, Wei Xili knew Scarlett Scarlett well, even now he was still stepping on her life.

But such a smart person is willing to put pressure on her who he knows so well and is so familiar with because of the pressure put on him by the "old system".

"Scarlett, think about it, if you want to come back, how easy it is. If you want to go back to Tara, or Atlanta, Melanie and I will say goodbye to Indy right away and go back with you..."

Roland glanced at him, but he was thinking in his heart: Melanie would definitely be willing to go back with her, and as for Ashley...

"If you really love Mr. Bai,"

Wei Xili finally said the surname with difficulty.

"Melanie and I will send you our sincerest wishes."

Roland stared at Wei Xili, she almost blurted out: "You know I don't love Rhett."

Yes, she didn't love him yet—

Or maybe, she still doesn't understand the meaning of love, and she has to hand in a zero-point answer sheet when facing the big emotional test.

The man opposite, who knew her best in the world, obviously read this sentence from her eyes.

His facial muscles began to relax, and a gleam of relief flashed in his eyes.

"My life is over," Wei Xili whispered.

"The moment I decided to marry Melanie for the sake of honor, I was done."

"The ending has long been doomed, and now I am just waiting for a body of old age and death. I can only embrace the memories you left me and welcome the day when I return to the dust."

"Come here today, Melanie originally disagreed."

"She said a lot of good things for you in front of those wives. For you, those wives clamored to break up with her."

Roland felt uncomfortable—as if Melanie had said good things for her, and she owed more to Melanie.

"So, Scarlett, please don't make us too difficult."

he begged earnestly.

"Ashley, I'd rather listen to your wife on this matter."

Roland answered decisively.

She suddenly felt that the only person she could really trust in this world was Melanie from beginning to end.

Ashley suddenly stretched out his arm and took Roland's hand across from him.

The "implanted emotion" immediately caused Roland to split again: half of Roland wanted to throw him away on the spot, but the other half of Roland burst into tears.

Ashley bent down and kissed her hand, as if to make a vow.

"As long as you want, I will be completely yours."

Roland trembled all over: she never expected it to be like this.Ashley's love was so easy to come by—such a noble and proud man, for the sake of the "face" of his class and to maintain the integrity of the old system, he would rather bow his head and put down his self-esteem, After so many years, he claimed to give her all his love back.

She couldn't even tell whether the emotion in her heart was ecstasy or rage.

Yes, for Scarlett, the mystery of the years had finally been solved—Ashley loved her, always had.

But... being loved by such a person, what is there to be proud of?

The person in front of him was clearly a coward, a coward.

Roland almost wanted to ask aloud: Women who love Ashley, what do you really love about him?

Is she going to give up the freedom and career she loves, and sacrifice the indestructible friendship between her and Mellie for this person?

"Wei Xili," she said with a mocking smile, "is it possible that you still want to be chaste for me?"

Ashley blushed and pursed his lips, but suddenly nodded firmly.

The smile on Roland's face suddenly froze. She was just teasing at first, but she got Ashley's personal promise.

Reason told her all this could not be true, but Scarlett Scarlett's emotions made her ready to move, and her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Finally, there came a day when even Wei Xili was willing to bow down under her pomegranate skirt.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone coughed loudly in the kitchen, the voice was rough—it was Rhett.

Roland suddenly realized something, and she withdrew her hand abruptly.

Almost at the same time, the floor above the restaurant creaked.The voice sounded, and Mrs. Munro sent Melanie and the children out.
