[Comprehensive] No. 8 Pawnshop.

When the last note fell, all the gentlemen and ladies who had finished dancing stopped to give applause, thanking this charming lady from the East for her beautiful song.

This time Ye Li's identity is a young pianist, playing the opening song for this banquet.

Ye Li gracefully got up from the piano, returned a polite smile to the people around her, and then left to be replaced by another young man whose face was flushed with excitement. She didn't intend to keep playing.

Walking to the corner of the banquet, Ye Li took the waiter's champagne, but when she drank it, the champagne was automatically replaced with tasteless water, she never drank, even to complete the task.

She's on a dream ship right now, a gorgeous maiden voyage for a top cruise liner.On the surface, it seemed that this was just an ordinary extravagant feast for the rich, but the iceberg that was about to hit two days later changed everything.

She paid attention to the people talking and laughing happily on the field, who would have thought that the catastrophe would come in an instant.

Ye Li put down the wine glass on the long table covered with patterned white cloth, she just needs to know who will be the real customer of No. [-] pawn shop.

There is a list in Ye Li's hand, there are not many names on it, and all of them are on this luxury cruise ship.

The first name was Carl Hockley.

What kind of person is Carl Hockley? Of course, what Ye Li first saw was not his handsome and graceful appearance, his enviable background, or the fact that he and his fiancée were at odds.

It is the essence, the essence of a capitalist, the pursuit of money first.Like most American businessmen, pure capitalists, such people will not reject No. [-] Pawn Shop.

As a saying goes, if capital has a 50.00% profit, it will take risks; if it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if it has a [-]% profit, it will dare to commit any crime , and even hanged.

No matter which world it is placed in, this sentence is very suitable.

What's more, what he can get from No. [-] pawn shop is more than [-]% of the profit.

Cal Hockley pawned his love and exchanged a large amount of shares of the White Star Company, the owner of the ship, which is said to be unsinkable, from the pawnshop. God knows, with the setting sail of the Titanic, what kind of sky-high prices the shares of the White Star Company have reached in the outside world. Compared with banknotes that may depreciate at any time, Carl Hockley is well aware of the convenience and glory that being an important shareholder of the White Star Company brings to himself and his family.

As for love, his fiancée, Rose, will still be the future wife of the Hockley family. Even without love, Rose still belongs to him. Carl is very confident, and he can't let go of her beauty and aristocratic status.

Ye Li appreciates such a person who has no regrets at all, and she also believes that there is still a chance for the pawnshop and Cal Hockley to continue their cooperation.Of course, Karl won't know the last sentence, because it's too creepy.

I am afraid that even a customer who has pawned once, would not wish to have the possibility of pawning again.

What will be lost next time?No one knows.

----

At a quieter part of the banquet, Ye Li also met a pair of old couples dressed in extraordinary clothes. The old man with gray hair and smiling kindly greeted Ye Li, "My wife and I like Miss Ye's piano music very much. Too bad there's only one song."

In their identities, they shouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to an 'ordinary' young pianist like Ye Li, with such a gentle attitude.The Strauss couple, one of the founders of Macy's in the United States, are also the second richest in the world.

The same gray-haired lady who was holding his arm also smiled and nodded to Ye Li. Ye Li, who can understand people's voices, of course knew that the person he really liked was this old lady, and her husband did it just to make her happy. Came over to say hello to Ye Li.

Mr. Strauss added, "In a few months, it will be my wife's birthday. I hope to invite Ms. Ye to play a song for my wife."

Ye Li smiled and said, "It's an honor."

The two couples looked at each other, with deep affection, bid farewell to Ye Li and left together.

Such a deep relationship is not unenviable, but Ye Li only knows that the names of these two are also on the list.

In the early morning, the wide deck brings gusts of sea breeze, the fast-moving cruise ship is particularly conspicuous in the blue sea and blue sky, and the group of dolphins jumping in front of the ship. Jack hugged the tip of the cruise ship and let go of the mast. He has golden Short hair, blue eyes, charming appearance, and good luck, a gamble in the bar won him a ticket to board this dream cruise ship.

And he met a woman who moved his heart. He didn't know her name, but he only remembered her red hair, fair face, and green lace dress.

A stunning English rose.

His friend was half joking and half admonishing, the noble lady was not from the same world as them, and he would never have the chance to get close, even if they were on the same ship.

Jack is not discouraged because of this, he has an unimaginable optimism and believes in all possibilities.

So when Ye Li found him, he immediately accepted it, and asked with a smile, "Are you an angel?"

Ye Li shook his head, smiled and said, "I'm not."

"Then can you give me a chance to meet her?" Jack still had a bright and charming smile on his face, almost dazzling other people's eyes.

Ye Li said, "Of course. But we want something from you in exchange."

"What?" Even after hearing such a request, Jack was still excited and full of curiosity.

"Your talent for drawing."

To exchange talent for an encounter, Jack agreed without thinking too long.

Jack never thought about whether this encounter would have a happy ending. He is a painter with an artist's heart and has seen the joys and sorrows of the world, so he knew that the ending might not be so satisfactory, but this It can't stop his heart of flying moths to the flame, pursuing what he wants, what he wants to have now.

The No. [-] pawn shop also fulfilled his wish. He met Rose, whom he fell in love with at first sight, that night, although the encounter was not good.

He became a hero, and Jack was even a little rejoiced. If he didn't get this opportunity, would Rose really commit suicide? He didn't want to see the girl he liked, and such a beautiful life would die.

And the next contact with Rose made Jack have surprises again and again, Rose's invitation, as well as dancing with him in the third-class cabin, communicating with him, and listening to him tell his story.

Jack felt that he was patronized by the goddess of luck and gave him a love like a dream.

After Carl pawned his love, he didn't care about Rose as much as before, paying attention to her actions at all times. He cared more about the telegrams sent every morning telling him the rising stock price of White Star Company, and discussing business with wealthy businessmen from all over the place. cooperative capital.

Such indifferent Karl not only allowed Rose to have a free space, but also disliked him more and more. Rose couldn't help laughing at herself. In Karl's heart, she might just be a vase for people to appreciate.

The appearance of Jack rekindled her enthusiasm, and it turned out that there is another way to live her life.

Even if Carl didn't care about it, he would know it after a long time. When he learned that Rose was in contact with an inferior person, it was not jealousy but anger at the loss of reputation. Rose was his fiancée. , He even sent [-] invitations to celebrities and wealthy people he knew. This wedding must not be canceled just because of this.

So he asked the bodyguards to keep Rose in the room, and until the cruise ship landed, Rose didn't need to appear in front of people again.

Jack is not only lucky, but also clever. He used some tricks to lure away the bodyguards and led Rose out of the room.

During the time of deep affection, Rose hoped that Jack would draw a picture for him, and even took off his clothes, but facing the canvas, Jack couldn't move his pen at all, biting the tip of the brush, his handsome eyebrows frowned.

Rose put on a coat, hugged him and comforted him gently, "I can't draw this time, we will do it next time."

Jack just hummed twice perfunctorily, he knew in his heart that he would never be able to move his paintbrush again, but he didn't regret it, he couldn't paint, he could still be a sailor, a vagabond singer, he could do other things he wanted Things to do.

But an unforgettable love is hard to come by.

----

However, the moment the giant ship hit the iceberg, everything came to an abrupt end.

People on the deck are struggling between life and death, and the giant ship is constantly sinking.Anger and panic are intertwined, roaring, sobbing, begging, praying, people can't believe that they have been abandoned by God.

Ye Li walks in the chaos, no one can see her, no one can touch her, and she will not save them.If she had empathy, she would have been overwhelmed by guilt over her decades as pawnbroker No. [-].

There is life and death, and death is not the end of everything, it is just a new beginning.

Wipe out love and hate, sorrow and joy, and reincarnate again.

In fact, there are exceptions, Karl Hockley is one, and the Strauss couple are also one.

Cal Hockley is a calm businessman. He went to the No. 47 pawnshop at the first moment when he encountered a crisis. Ye Li told him that what he had to pay was the fortune after the age of [-].

Karl can only comfort himself that even if he can't do business after the age of 47, he can still enjoy life with the wealth accumulated by the Hockley family, which is better than living and dying now, and there is no guarantee that he can live.

What he didn't know was that he could reach the other shore safely in his original destiny, and of course Ye Li would not tell him.

It would not be better to exchange luck for a guarantee.

The Strauss couple didn't get on the lifeboat, and they also refused Ye Li's help. They were unwilling to exchange their souls for their few lives.Death is not terrible for them, it's just a little earlier.They hugged each other and lay on the bed in the room, waiting to die.

Ye Li respects the guests' decisions, although she doesn't understand such love.

Although Jack and Rose are young, their love is still brilliant.Enough to make Jack pay his life for it.

Death followed, but he told Rose, "Lady Luck gave me a love, and even if it didn't last forever, I was still content."

The surviving Rose's love for him is to bear your name and my surname, and she will live as he wishes.

mission completed.

The author has something to say: (I feel that this article is not well written, and I burst into tears when watching the movie)

The non-existent side story When the Titanic finally lost its balance, a white light appeared in the clouds, and there were white wings hidden in the light. Under the light, the waves gradually calmed down, and seemed to consciously hold up the Titanic On the ship, the blue waves rolled up the passengers who fell in the sea and sent them to the deck. The water in the giant ship retreated miraculously and returned to the sea.

The sky cleared completely, but the sea was still treating the giant ship kindly, caring for it like its own child.

The people rejoice, God's miracle,

Ye Li, who was also watching all this on the deck, twitched the corner of his mouth.
