[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

In 1873, Paris, France.

Scarlett slammed Rhett's hand outstretched with a smile, and jumped out of the carriage by herself.The captain's helpless expression lasted only for a moment, and soon he smiled and stretched out his arms to his daughter.The four-year-old girl has black hair and black eyes, a clean and fair face, and a delicate and beautiful face. The puff-sleeved lace princess dress makes her look like a little princess.Her slightly upturned eyes are very similar to her mother, and her dark eyes are gentle and sweet.She held a beautifully crafted doll in her arms.

"Come on, my little Lottie." Rhett took his daughter off the carriage and hugged her lovingly in his arms.He kissed her black hair, and his heart was still as soft as when he witnessed her birth.Little Lottie hugged her doll, rubbed it in her father's arms, and looked up at the building in front of her.The magnificent, resplendent and eye-catching Paris Opera House just made the little girl let out a small exclamation, as if something rushed towards her face along with the faint sound of instrumental music.

"Don't hold on to the doll all the time, Lottie." Scarlett stood at the gate of the opera house, and seeing her husband and daughter still beside the carriage, she couldn't help stamping her feet, "Rhett Butler, can you cooperate with me?" a little!"

"Honey." Rhett said in a very accommodating tone, "Believe me, you will regret it in the first five minutes of the opera..."

"I don't care!" Scarlett frowned, "Why do you accuse a lady of not being able to appreciate opera? Rhett Butler, you are slandering! I just want to appreciate elegant art!" Father and daughter, walked in by themselves.

Rhett chuckled lightly, rubbed his daughter's black hair, ignored Mammy's intention to hug Lottie, and followed her briskly.If Scarlett had looked back, she would have said it looked like an Indian.Lottie Butler was sitting in her father's arms with a bewildered smile on her face. The little girl was a little fascinated by the atmosphere from the moment she entered.She hugged the rag doll in her arms—blond curly hair, blue eyes, and a bright red dress with "LB" embroidered on it.This is her fourth birthday present from her father, and it is also her favorite doll - her father always wants to buy her a whole street of dolls, but the sensible little Lottie thinks that at least half of the street should be reserved for return. No sister Bonnie was born, although she didn't understand why her mother believed so much that she would have a blue-eyed sister.

Scarlett and Rhett started bickering on the way here—as usual, Scarlett wanted to prove her artistic appreciation and Rhett had no hope.But his wife thought about it, and Captain Butler still did his best.The performances of the Opera House are at night, but the Paris Opera House itself is a building worthy of careful appreciation.Therefore, the captain brought his wife and daughter to visit in the afternoon, came back to watch the opera after a short rest, and at the same time personally chose the location of the box.He has already made an appointment with Mr. Lafayette, the manager of the opera house.

"Welcome here, Mr. Butler!" Lafayette Garcia greeted loudly before he even walked to the door. This short-tempered young man took over the opera house not long ago, and he did not handle things properly.There is a new opera to be sung tonight, and he is so busy that he is so busy that he is only here to meet him now, so he doesn't have time to greet him properly.Therefore, after spending a few words with Rhett, he raised his voice and called a girl named Jesse over, and ordered her to show the Butlers around for a while and choose a box.

Jessie was a young, pretty girl who had just been called in to help, and looked very nervous.However, her introduction was not bad. Although Scarlett regretted being bored in her heart, she could barely hold on, and finally picked a box No. [-] with a very good view.Mr. Butler noticed that Jessie looked fondly at little Lottie and was extra generous when tipping, prompting the young girl to thank her.

"Are you sorry, dear?" he whispered in Scarlett's ear, lowering his voice.

Scarlett snorted, even if she regretted it at this time, she would die!

"Of course not, dear," she said sweetly. "I'm looking forward to a wonderful evening."

Rhett's eyes flashed, and his smile deepened: "Yes, I'm looking forward to it too."

The function of the box in the opera house is not to enjoy the opera, dear Scarlett, are you sure you really know?

Little Lottie blinked.Mammy didn't fluctuate in her heart, she just wanted to kill the stupid mistress.

-------------------

Dusk came quietly.

Less than half an hour into the opera, Scarlett felt that her endurance had reached its limit!For the rest of her life, she couldn't understand why good words had to be said so long and so long that she couldn't understand them—Scarlett felt that this was harder than enduring Rhett's ridicule, and all her endurance in her life was spent on it!Collapsing on the cushion, Mrs. Butler, who was pampered lawlessly after marriage, turned her spear and fired at her husband: "Rhett Butler, it's you! You brought me here to laugh at me, you bastard!"

The captain, who thought that holding back a smile was no more difficult than Scarlett had to endure an opera, replied solemnly: "Don't be like this, dear..." He raised his eyebrows, "Have you forgotten how you are clamoring to come to appreciate the art?"

"Anyway, it's the seat you booked, and you paid to bring me here." Scarlett made trouble out of no reason, "I don't care, you just want to see me laugh!"

The captain glanced at her with a smile, and didn't make any excuses, but nunuzui motioned her to look at little Lottie—the four-year-old girl rested her chin on one hand and unconsciously hugged the doll with the other, staring at the stage with her black eyes unblinking, Looks very serious, looks very cute.Seeing that her little princess seemed to be fascinated, Scarlett could not help but let out a wail: "Little Lottie, baby Lottie—can you really stand this?" Could it be that her beauty is not as good as that of her daughter?Scarlett was thinking angrily and trying to pinch Rhett, but the captain avoided it nimbly and wrapped his arms around the unstable Mrs. Butler.

Mammy: I don't see anything.Keep smiling...take care of my little princess.

Rhett ignored his wife's struggle, let her sit on his lap, and asked with a smile: "You still feel wronged?"

Scarlett: ...I can't stand this father and daughter. Lottie Butler is obviously my child, so why does she follow her father everywhere!I want Bonnie, I want everything like my Bonnie!I want Bonnie! ! !

In fact, although Scarlett still looks forward to the birth of Bonnie these years, she is not too obsessed.The influence of past life memories on her is gradually fading, and Scarlett has started a new life.

The low-pitched fights of the parents did not make the little girl's head tilt, and her crystal black eyes remained fascinated and focused.It wasn't until the end of this scene that the little girl turned around and said softly to her mother, "The opera is beautiful, Mom."

Scarlett froze for a second, then struggled angrily in Rhett's arms again.

Scarlett: I can't live anymore, father and daughter unite to run on me!

Little Lottie: Daddy, did I do something wrong?

Rhett: Of course not, it's just that baby... ahem, do you want Mammy to take you out to play?

Little Lottie: No, I want to see the opera.

Rhett: ...But I really want to take your mother to explore the second function of the box, baby!

Finally, by the time the opera finally came to an end, Scarlett had languished on Captain Butler's lap for quite a while and fell asleep—and almost slipped down several times, only to have the stress reaction wrap her arms around his neck!Scarlett was sure the bastard did it on purpose!

"Baby, your mother is tired." Rhett said softly, "You and Mammy go out to play for a while, and I will accompany her to rest in the box, okay?"

Little Lottie nodded obediently, with her thick and upturned eyelashes flickering, she gave her parents a fragrant and soft kiss respectively, and a slight blush appeared on her porcelain doll-like face.She hugged her doll and obediently let Mammy pick her up and take her out.

"Let's go play hide-and-seek, Mammy." The childish words of the little girl were still heard not far from the door, and Scarlett, who was half asleep and half awake, already felt an inexplicable danger—she almost didn't startle when she opened her eyes. Gotta fall off that big couch!Her husband, Rhett Butler, was undressing one piece after another with a half-smile.Vests, shirts, and trousers were thrown on the ground casually, and the naked man walked towards her casually.

"What, what are you doing?" Scarlett couldn't help stammering for a moment, and when she realized that she was weak, she immediately wanted to fight back, "Rhett Butler, what are you doing?! This is the opera house... This is the outside you Don't come here, you bastard!"

Rhett sneered softly.

"Darling." He coaxed patiently and affectionately, "Have you noticed that the sofa in the Opera House is extraordinarily wide, and it can almost accommodate two adults. The floor is also covered with the best cashmere, and there is no need to roll on it." question?"

Scarlett was stunned, and an ominous premonition rose from her heart.

"Because," Rhett said softly, revealing the answer, "The opera box is recognized as the best place for dignitaries to have sex." A smile almost overflowed from his lips, "Honey, don't you know this?"

With a bang, Scarlett's head exploded.She got up from the sofa at a loss, feeling her face was burning badly, irritated and shy.The body responded one step ahead of the brain, and the man wanted to run away as soon as he approached her.However, Rhett was so agile that he tripped her into his arms and rolled her to the ground.

"Take a deep breath, honey." He said with a smile, and even took a puff on his cigar.But the man just took a sip and then pressed it into the ashtray. He turned over and lowered his head to kiss Scarlett's lips deeply. Exciting? The Opera House must give you some good memories, right?"

Scarlett just couldn't stand the agitation, and her mind became hot: "Come, come, whoever is afraid of who!" After finishing speaking, she immediately regretted it.The opening on the right side of the box was just enough to see the stage that was finishing work. Although she knew that the design was private and no one could see what was going on inside, Scarlett still felt an unspeakable sense of shame.Rhett noticed this keenly, and he teased her with a smile, but Scarlett couldn't stand this and kicked her.Rhett lowered his head again and intertwined with her. Gradually, Scarlett's calf wrapped around Rhett's waist, and she was immersed in the joy he brought.Heavy panting sounded in the box, and the faint scent of spring and mating made Scarlett's face blush like the morning glow.Rhett kissed her green eyes, leaned over and made another rhythmic dash, Scarlett cried out, and couldn't help but meet him.

The night is dark, but the spring is full.Both of them were so immersed in the joy of having an affair that they forgot about everything else.Scarlett would not know that this time, the wild | but joyful intercourse in the opera house finally made her pregnant with the little Bonnie whom she had longed for; and Rhett would not know that his beloved eldest daughter was in Paris at the moment. Encounter the love of a lifetime in the alley-albeit in a very ugly way.But what both people know is that they will go on like this forever, happily and joyfully.

The author has something to say: Epilogue:

After Lalan got dressed, the spring feeling between the two of them has not dissipated yet.Rhett was about to tease Scarlett a few words, when suddenly the door of the box was slammed open, and Mammy rushed in with little Lottie in her arms, her anxious and worried expression echoed the tear stains on the little girl's face.Little Lottie's skirt was covered with mud, and a lot of dark red blood had coagulated.But the little girl just sobbed and couldn't say a word.Scarlett and Rhett were startled and stood up suddenly.

Scarlett noticed that her favorite doll had disappeared from her daughter's arms.
