Chapter 1320 Extra: Du Fu 46
"Yes, freedom..." Du Lai looked at the endless sky and let out a long sigh.
On this isolated island, I am separated from all social relations, without parents and family, without colleagues at work, without friends or neighbors...
If he really wanted to live here for the rest of his life, he would not have to worry about his former creditors chasing him, nor would he have to worry about the future of his children. All the burden and pressure would be gone.
It's free and easy.
The only thing you need to consider every day is three meals a day.
However, the emptiness is also real.
Du Lai felt that he was very contradictory, or that human beings themselves were very contradictory. On the one hand, they wanted to be alone, but on the other hand, they could not escape from the crowd.
It's not like he can't let go of those children at all, but it's hard to break up the emotional connection completely.
"Ah..." Fu Miaoxue said softly, "It's getting dark."
Du Lai was amused when he heard this: "The sky is originally dark."
"No, the moon is covered by clouds, it's so dark..." She murmured.
Du Lai said: "Stop watching and go to sleep."
"...Can't sleep." Fu Miaoxue turned over, "Du Lai, tell me a story."
Du Lai refused: "I don't know how to coax children."
"Isn't your job on the cruise ship just to make people happy?" Fu Miaoxue said, "If you don't want to tell a story, then you can do a magic trick for me."
Du Lai said: "Go to sleep quickly, young lady, what kind of magic can you do with a blind light..."
Fu Miaoxue was quiet for a while, then spoke softly again: "I was so full just now that I couldn't sleep... How about we chat for a while?"
In fact, Du Lai didn't feel sleepy.
But he didn't know what to talk to Fu Miaoxue.
His and her social classes and life circles are so different.
"What do you want to talk about?" Du Lai smiled, "I guess there is nothing common for the two of us to talk about."
Fu Miaoxue thought for a moment, "How about... talk about your past life? How did you become a magician?"
"How to become a magician..." Du Lai recalled the past, "A few years ago, a friend introduced me to a job as an assistant to a magician on a ship. I studied with the magician for two or three years, and then the magician got off the ship. , didn’t come back, so I took over his job naturally and started performing magic on the boat.”
"Can you learn it in two or three years?" Fu Miaoxue asked curiously, "Then can I learn it? I also want to do magic."
"It depends on your understanding." Du Lai smiled, "And I have an advantage in learning this. I turned out to be..."
He paused, hesitating whether to tell her or not.
This was not a glorious thing, but he didn't seem to have the need to maintain face in front of her.
"Who are you originally? Why do you have an advantage?" Fu Miaoxue asked.
Du Lai was silent for a moment and looked at her with a smile, "I turned out to be... a gentleman from Liang Shang."
"Gentleman Liang Shang?" Fu Miaoxue frowned, very confused, "What does Mr. Liang Shang do?"
This time it was Du Lai who frowned and turned sideways to look at her: "The gentleman in Liang Shang doesn't even know what it is? Have you never studied?"
"Of course I have, I have a tutor!" Fu Miaoxue immediately replied, "It's just that I was not given any courses on ancient poetry. I don't study this in Singapore. There are quite a few foreign language classes. I want to learn English and Spanish. I also need to learn some French.”
Du Lai smiled, "And Shanghainese. I think you are quite experienced in using Shanghainese to curse. Where did you learn it?"
"My mother is from Shanghai." Fu Miaoxue replied, "My previous nanny was also from Shanghai. The nanny ran away when she cursed people."
"Your nanny is quite arrogant and dares to curse at her employer's house." Du Lai said with a smile.
