[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

Scarlett felt that she might be dreaming.

She was calm. She had just attended Mr. Butler's funeral and now she was with Rhett-hands clasped tightly, and she opened her green eyes uncertainly to see the scene in front of her.However, this is indeed the man.Black eyes, black hair, beast-like cold teeth gleaming white under the mustache, a well-defined face, and eyes that can never be mistaken.Usually he always had a joking smile, but now he stared quietly at her, but he looked emotional and solemn, as if he could suck people in.Scarlett couldn't look into those eyes, she turned her head away: "What trick, Rhett?" Her voice visibly trembled.

Rhett may have been quiet for a few seconds, brewing feelings or maybe it was letting her brew feelings. Within a few seconds, Scarlett felt that the sound of the sea wind, waves, and distant noises mixed together very vividly. Almost only his voice could be heard, it was deliberately slow, but it seemed extremely serious.And her own heartbeat, thud, thud, thump, heavy but unable to ignore, the red cloud burned all the way to her face. "Scarlett," Rhett called softly, "no trick."

He seemed to know that she subconsciously wanted to say something to interrupt when her brain was shut down, so before she could speak, he held her hand tightly and continued speaking quickly.He said:

"I love you, Scarlett--very sure, very sure. And if I'm not too conceited, we've been in love for a long time. We're in love."

"Oh, Rhett." Scarlett couldn't help laughing even though she was upset when she heard him say that, "You've said what I should say, what should I do?"

"So you admit you love me?" he asked slyly, then smiled mischievously before she could say anything, and said softly, "Honey, I know all about it—but I think it's my turn this time." I show my love with my cards, you have done enough for me."

He noticed that the eyes of the girl in front of him were sore, so he raised his head and looked at her, his upper body was slightly straightened, his hands passed through the thick curly hair, stroking her icy and red cheeks, holding her upright with both thumbs the bridge of the nose.Rhett Butler said softly, "Honey, I want you to know that I will always be here from now on. This is my promise."

"Then I can take it with peace of mind." Scarlett tried her best to say in a tense voice, but still leaked a slight hoarseness—damn it, she never thought that she was so fragile, because the other party just said—Scarlett wanted She kept her head together, but those black eyes almost took her breath away.

"You weren't with me when I really realized I loved you," he said slowly, never stopping to gaze into her green eyes, "I think I've loved you for a long time in the meantime—but Forgive me, Scarlett." He sneered suddenly, "Look how stupid I've done! I've kept us put off until today, until you've made it impossible for me not to face my feelings, which, like fire, have Burning me out. I used to think it was a stupid thing to get married, but now I think it's a stupid thing to lose you because I don't want to get married. Because I believe that I will love you as much as I do now, until the end of my life. "

"I love you, Scarlett. I love your vivaciousness, your selfish daring, and your stupidity and self-indulgence. I love your conscience, which sometimes fails and prevails in its struggles, and your never-giving-up hope, and your unprecedented courage. Few loves are as bright and intense as yours, and you're not good at hiding it, my dear. You set me on fire from the very beginning, and then you dragged us both into that flame that bonded us deeply. Ah Shley Wilkes—I hope you remember when your little girlish crush on him led us to an accidental acquaintance?" He muffled a laugh. "Maybe I used to be jealous of him, but when I You can't imagine my ecstasy, how much I longed to find out that those are the distant past——Scarlett, I loved you and wanted you back then, but I didn't know how much I loved you."

"During the war, my heart stopped beating when I found out you were back in Atlanta. God, it's a miracle you showed up to me intact! Oh, I'm sure you remember that colorful part with some Memories of not-so-great proposals - well, am I going too far if I say that the mistress's proposal was a half-testing joke and never thought you'd react so strongly? Ah, you're pinching my jaws Well, Scarlett! Well, anyway, we had a long and memorable conversation on that wonderful quiet summer night, and I told you everything I've been hiding for a long time. You're like an enigma... but even though I can't explain it but it can't stop me from loving you. I know I love you, but then I didn't think I could love you so deeply and for so long—now I know it's a lifetime, but I can only be separated from you when there is a war .”

He paused for a while again, as if he was in deep thought, but also seemed to be blurring his not-so-good memories.

"Anyway," he said softly at last, "for the time I thought I was going to die, I finally addressed you with the word 'beautiful'—although shortly after our reunion in Atlanta, I fell out with you again gone."

"Hmm." Now that the words have come to this point, there is no need to hide some things, Scarlett simply asked: "Then why did you..." But Rhett interrupted her with a smile.

"Okay, Scarlett." He smiled lowly, but it did numb her heart. "Honey, this is a confession, not a confession meeting. A proper amount of confession is good for a confession, but I don't intend to let you Think of more bad things. Yes, yes, I will give you a chance to torture me in the future, but definitely not today—not now." His voice became softer. "Now we have more important things to do " He paused, "I love you, Scarlett. I have loved you for a long time, and now I want to ask you to witness our vow of eternal love with a holy marriage, will you promise me?"

"Oh, Rhett—" Scarlett lowered her eyelids, she always had nothing to do with him, "I think I..."

"Hi, Rhett! Scarlett!" Suddenly, a little girl's crisp voice was carried by the wind, mixed with the hiss of the horse stopping, breaking the tranquility of this small space at once.Scarlett was obviously taken aback for a moment, and seeing the obvious annoyance on Rhett's face, she couldn't help being happy.It was Anita.

"Brother, you have been outside with Scarlett for a long time." Anita said with dissatisfaction and a little curiosity, "Hurry up, her aunt is in a hurry to take her back when it is getting dark, she doesn't like you, Mom had no choice but to say that I went out with Scarlett for a walk... let’s go. Anyway,” she paused, the red circles under her eyes were still clearly visible, and her voice was slightly choked, “don’t go outside at this time If you stay too long, others will say..."

Scarlett swore she had heard Rhett swear before, but now the man got up quickly and said to Anita as if nothing had happened: "Okay——I see. Anita, you go back first, Give me 2 minutes, and I will take Scarlett back immediately after 2 minutes. You go first."

Anita nodded, glanced at them again, and hurried back on her horse.

Sweetness and bewilderment rushed into her heart at the same time. Scarlett saw Rhett half-kneeling in front of her again, her brain froze——Could it be, this lunatic, he really planned to finish it today?Then she heard the man say in a slightly hasty voice: "Scarlett, honey, we have less than 2 minutes left." Perhaps aware of his gaffe, he raised his black eyes and smiled at her, The tone became more elegant, "I don't think you changed your mind just now, did you?"

Scarlett narrowed her eyes.

"Of course not." She said arrogantly, and then deliberately drew out her tone, "Mr. Rhett Butler, if I have not misunderstood your intention just now-I refuse your marriage proposal."

The man's expression changed suddenly, and Scarlett confirmed that she hadn't missed his expression as if he had been hit hard for a moment, and her heart throbbed immediately.But the man quickly adjusted himself, and quickly asked as if nothing had happened: "So, can I know the reason?" He was still winking with a playful smile.

Scarlett stared at him angrily for a while, then explained based on a sense of frustration:

"God!" she growled, "you have been a rebel for so many years, you really forgot all the southern rules!" Should the girl say this? "Don't act like I failed your infatuation—idiot! You have to propose for the third time before you agree!" Then she saw the corners of Rhett's lips becoming more and more curved, and her eyes lit up all of a sudden, she couldn't help it Zhu Zhu said viciously: "Of course, I didn't say that you agreed to the third marriage proposal." However, no matter how firm the tone was, the deterrent effect was nothing, and Rhett had already jumped up.

"Just for that?" he asked back, both annoyed and grateful, clutching Scarlett's hand tightly in his sweaty hands, "just for that—" he moaned, "all right, all right?" Well, I guess I'll do a second and third...damn Southern rules."

"Don't think that the future will be easier than today." Scarlett couldn't help hitting him, but she felt a little smug in her heart, "Hey, Butler, it seems that it's my turn to torment you now? Do you think I will let it go easily?" Take this chance?"

For a while they continued to look at each other in this position, staring - Rhett slid to the floor where she had slid down when she refused, and Scarlett leaned on the carriage cushion, trying not to look sideways. , with their backs straight, and the two of them stayed together like this in a fit of anger.Suddenly Rhett jumped up with a cry that Scarlett almost thought was about to lose his temper--but he held her shoulders with both hands, and his eyes had a gleam of complacency.

"I've got you!" He yelled happily, and went crazy to scratch Scarlett's itch. Scarlett held on for less than three seconds before falling into his arms and laughing loudly: "Stop! Stop!" Rhett was laughing too, but his hands were slyly wandering and would not stop, Scarlett laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe--then, without warning, his hands stopped, and at the same time, without warning, his lips Kissed her.

This is not a kiss full of affection and sincerity, because it was fierce and violent at the beginning, with a sense of catharsis and unwillingness, but because the passion in it has the power to make people dizzy-but in the end, the power of love made this kiss The kiss became soft spontaneously and consciously——Scarlett fell into Rhett's arms, until the carriage was about to drive into Butler's mansion, she couldn't figure out how everything happened today, how the emotional whirlwind suddenly hit her and her. Rhett, but there was a smile on her lips.

All she knew was that she was with Rhett Butler and was happy, very, very happy, and that was enough.enough.
